Yu Lin Bloodhawk aimed at the centaur charging at the very front, drew his bow fully, and loosed without hesitation at a forty-five-degree angle, sending the arrow arcing out to its maximum range.
Whoosh!
The arrow traced a graceful arc through the air, and many Elf Rangers could not help looking up at it.
The distance was simply too great, beyond the range of the vast majority of High Elf Rangers. Even in Quel'Thalas, few elves could shoot that far, let alone hit a target.
But this arrow had been loosed by the City Lord. There were so many legends about him. Would he manage to hit his target this time? He just might! It seemed rather unlikely, but since the City Lord had fired it, anything was possible.
Under countless watching eyes, the arrow lived up to their expectations, climbing steadily through the air before descending. Judging by the target centaur's charging speed, arrow and target should collide at any moment.
"His forehead!" an Elf Ranger beside Yu Lin Bloodhawk could not help exclaiming.
But who could have imagined what would happen in those one or two seconds?
Crack! A bone broke.
Thud! A heavy impact followed.
Aah! A scream rang out.
Before the arrow could strike him, the targeted centaur had the terrible luck to step into a Horsefall Pit. His body dropped, but his forward momentum could not stop immediately. The crack of breaking bone was followed by the heavy thud of his entire body slamming violently into the ground. His agonized howl could be heard clearly even from Yu Lin Bloodhawk's distant position.
Only after the target centaur fell did Yu Lin Bloodhawk's arrow quiver into the ground half a body length ahead of him, its fletching trembling as though protesting that this was not its
