Although the Half-Elf archers' arrows were exceptionally accurate, they were facing vicious, brutal Gray Dwarf warriors.
These Gray Dwarf warriors wore Dwarf Chain Mail. The armor, woven from heavy links, was like clothing made of metal, with thick metal plates hanging over it. Though they were short, they possessed innate strength and sturdy bodies. Even clad in such heavy metal armor, they could run through the shallows as swiftly as the wind.
The splashing water even swallowed them whole...
As long as an arrow did not hinder their charge, the Gray Dwarf warriors could not be bothered to care when it struck them.
The Half-Elf archers watched a Gray Dwarf warrior snap off the shaft of a Fletched Arrow lodged in his collarbone without slowing his legs in the slightest. Every Gray Dwarf charged desperately forward.
Several throwing axes hung from the Gray Dwarf warriors' waists. Their short, delicate handles were exceptionally well-balanced. The instant the Gray Dwarves hurled them, three Elf Archers were struck by the small flying axes and tumbled from the high reef rocks.
This Adventure Group had roughly a hundred Half-Elves, but only a dozen or so Elf Archers stood on the high ground and fired arrows.
The Gray Dwarf warriors at the front felled three archers with their throwing axes in one stroke, greatly boosting their morale. In the blink of an eye, the foremost Gray Dwarf warriors had rushed onto the beach.
Holding Chain Shields they could throw at any moment, the drenched Gray Dwarf warriors burst from the sea and pounced viciously on the Half-Elf Rangers in the Adventure Group.
Every Half-Elf Ranger carried a light Willow Leaf Scimitar. These scimitars were nimble and flexible, capable of both stabbing and slashing, but their flaw was equally obvious: they were too thin and light.
