Naturally, the greatest credit for the crossbow bolts achieving such results went to the two high-level Barbarian Professionals who had activated Battle Roar in the center of the Holy Knight battle formation. It was their sacrifice that weakened the Holy Knights' defenses by 88%, allowing the crossbow bolts to kill numerous Holy Knights with an unstoppable momentum.
There were still several powerful Holy Knights in the formation. Although they had been wounded by the crossbow bolts, their injuries were not fatal.
But they were not happy, because a huge boulder came crashing toward them next. After flying through the air, the boulder had gained enough momentum that, if a High-level Holy Knight had been completely uninjured and at the peak of his strength, he might have been able to withstand this purely physical attack with the battle formation's help.
However, the Holy Knight battle formation had completely collapsed by then. The previous Charge had also consumed too much of the Holy Knights' energy, and they had been affected by Battle Roar. When the enormous boulder smashed down, they could only helplessly raise their shields once more.
The boulder smashed a small crater into the stone ground. Blood flowed from the crater, and the Holy Knight's corpse had been crushed beyond recognition. Under the force of the impact, the boulder continued rolling rapidly into the distance.
Mide the Fanatical Knight let out a shrill Great Roar. In that instant, the Holy Knight battle formation he led had been reduced to fewer than a hundred men.
Moreover, under these circumstances, the advantage of the Holy Knight battle formation could no longer be brought into play. The Barbarian Professionals rushing out from the city's buildings would slowly wear them down.
The enormous advantage they had possessed before no longer existed.
