Frank Ribery, born into a low-ranking noble family, was able to rise to the position of the first commander of the garrison in Twin Flag City in a short period of time, which was indeed remarkable. Moreover, he did have a number of loyal and righteous officers around him. The border army, which numbered less than 30,000 at most and whose military pay had been embezzled for many years and was in a state of semi-abandonment, was still able to maintain such a strong fighting force and cohesion. This made Sun Fei look at this young imperial officer, who was currently recuperating from his injuries in the city, with new respect.
"No rush. [ Earth's Protection ] consumes too much of the city's magic reserves. We must save it for a critical moment." Sun Fei smiled at Gago and shook his head.
Gago had actually mustered up his courage to speak to the young first commander of the theater of operations beside him.
Having witnessed firsthand the commander's legendary feat of moving in and out of the enemy camp in Ajax as if it were nothing just two hours earlier, he and his garrison colleagues were utterly awestruck by Sun Fei's personal martial prowess. In the Azeroth Continent, martial arts are highly valued, and those who excel in martial arts are more likely to be revered. In particular, Sun Fei's rescue of Frank Ribery from an army of ten thousand men made Gago and other young officers, who had been personally trained and promoted by Ribery, extremely grateful.
Seeing that Sun Fei did not possess the arrogant or haughty attitude that almost every high-ranking noble in the empire had imagined, the garrison officers, including Gago, had an even higher opinion of Sun Fei, reaching the level of perfection.
Seeing the esteemed theater commander smile at him, Gago was filled with excitement and his courage grew. After a moment's thought, he tentatively suggested, "My lord, if we don't activate [ Earth's Protection ], the Ajax's megalithic projectiles will pose a significant threat to our army and the buildings in the city..."
Sun Fei patted the young and brave officer of the Imperial Military Department on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's alright, I'll take care of everything."
After speaking, a flash of white light appeared, and His King took out the [ Desert Eagle ] from his storage ring. At the same time, he instantly switched to [ Amazon Warrior Mode ], and his aura suddenly changed from domineering, violent, and wild to sharp, calm, and indifferent.
The cold desert wind howled, brushing against His King's face and ruffling his thick, black hair, adding to his handsome and extraordinary aura.
Some of the garrison officers who had initially been a little worried suddenly brightened up.
Yes, I almost forgot. This commander is an incredibly skilled archer. Judging from the terrifying archery and destructive power he displayed this morning during his Charge, he should be able to destroy those twenty-odd giant stone launchers in the distance.
Even the ordinary soldiers on the distant city wall were intently waiting for their commander to unleash his archery prowess.
"Click click click..."
The atmosphere on the battlefield was so tense that when everyone stopped making noise, the clattering sounds of the giant stone projectiles and the animal tendons were so clear in the air. Those giant stone projectiles, like bloodthirsty Dread Beast crouching in the distance, bared their ferocious Teeth at Twin Flag City.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Ready...!" The Ajax officer's shout could be clearly heard, "Ready... Fire!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The animal tendons, stretched to their limit, snapped back violently. On the massive steel frame, ten enormous stones, each weighing a thousand pounds, swayed precariously as they rose, their speed increasing rapidly. Driven by inertia and the pull of the tendons, they finally soared into the air...
These boulders, each weighing over a thousand pounds, fall from the sky with the help of projectile inertia, weighing over ten thousand pounds. They often smash through city walls that are enchanted with magic and runes. Warriors below the Three-Star Class who are hit by such boulders have virtually no chance of survival.
Seeing the projectiles launch huge stones in the distance, the officers and soldiers on the walls of Twin Flag City were in their throats.
The thirty-man Saint squad watched intently, seemingly unfazed even if the boulder were to crash down on them, for they had unwavering faith in the tall and handsome young King beside them.
In the blink of an eye, the boulder had been launched more than twenty meters away, and in just a short instant, it could travel more than seven hundred meters to crash into the city wall of Twin Flag City.
Just then, just as some people were about to cry out in surprise, Sun Fei finally released the arrow from his bow.
call out!!!!!!!
call out!!!!!!!
call out!!!!!!!
call out!!!!!!!
Not just one arrow, but ten in total.
All people could see was a series of incomplete afterimages left by King Majesty the King's hand in the air.
Then the bowstring of the Desert Eagle vibrated sharply several times, and the sharp sound of the arrow piercing the air was only for a moment. The next moment, ten consecutive booming explosions rang in my ears, followed by a violent tremor of the earth and uncontrollable screams and cries.
The giant rock that had just been launched into the air suddenly exploded, turning into a rain of flying stones that crashed down and, by sheer coincidence, struck the Ajax infantry phalanx in front of the boulder launcher, causing heavy casualties and splattering blood everywhere.
All ten giant rocks were shattered by a single arrow!
Then it turned into a pile of rubble and fell down.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. No one expected such a thing to happen. The cheers of the Ajax armored swordsmen's phalanx turned into screams halfway through. Because they weren't in the middle of Charge, their formation was very tight, and in the chaos, there was no way to escape. If they were lucky, they were crushed to death. If they were unlucky, they would break arms and legs, unable to die immediately, tears and snot streaming down their faces, howling and screaming in madness...
" King Alexander! King Alexander! King Alexander--!!"
"Long live the King of Chambord! Long...
Someone roared, and after a brief moment of shock and silence, all the soldiers and officers on the Twin Flag City wall jumped up excitedly, waving their arms. Their morale soared to a terrifying level. The ten arrows shot out, cleverly using the enemy's projectiles to smash the boulders and kill at least five hundred enemy soldiers!
Ten arrows swept across the sky, killing five hundred enemies!
What a terrifying number!
What terrifying archery skills!
The Twin Flag City garrison, now in a passive situation, desperately needed this kind of morale-boosting scene, and Sun Fei clearly delivered.
The Ajax soldiers clearly hadn't expected their once-invincible siege weapon to cause such a situation. Seeing their infantry phalanx riddled with wounds and bleeding profusely in front of the catapults, the officers froze, unsure what to do.
Continue? What if that devilish guy manipulates us again and we end up hurting our own people?
Stop? Then how are we going to attack the city?
On the distant desert dunes, surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers, Prince Fairenton gave a bitter smile.
The influence of top-tier martial artists on the battlefield is vividly demonstrated at this moment. In the epic history of war on the Azeroth Continent, few military strategists have left behind a Teleport legacy of fame. People are more likely to remember those with exceptional martial prowess. This is because if a person's strength reaches a certain level, almost one person can change a war and defeat an army. Martial arts masters are the true masters of this world.
At this moment, with King of Chambord Alexander, the undisputed number one expert on the battlefield, in charge of Twin Flag City, the precarious situation instantly Mount Tai. If a master who can match him cannot be found, then to conquer Twin Flag City, at least 30,000 to 40,000 people must be worn down before the King of Chambord's Dou Qi can be truly depleted and he can be defeated!
However, at this point, he absolutely could not choose to retreat.
"Order the infantry phalanx to retreat and disperse to the flanks!"
"Order the giant stone projectile to retreat three hundred meters and continue the attack!"
"Order the accompanying mages to prepare!"
"Order the Deathsworn Battalion to prepare!"
"Order the City-Raiding Battalion to prepare!"
"Pass on the order..."
Command orders flowed smoothly from the prince's mouth, and the Ajax army began to operate in an orderly fashion, like a precisely functioning machine. The chilling and bloodthirsty atmosphere of the battlefield was not diminished in the slightest by this unexpected scene. In the face of truly elite soldiers, the deaths of 500 people could not stop their slaughter!
Soon, the twenty boulder projectiles were pulled back three hundred meters, and the infantry in front also took cover on the sides and behind the projectiles to avoid being attacked by Sun Fei in the same way again. Due to the change in distance, the boulders thrown by the projectiles could only be launched near the walls of Twin Flag City!
Sun Fei continued to draw his bow and nock an arrow.
This time, instead of using the same trick, he directly targeted the boulder launcher itself.
The projectile was about 1,300 meters from the city wall, a distance that ordinary archers could only dream of, considered a safe distance. But for Sun Fei, it was no challenge. Today, he had obtained the [ Desert Eagle ], a weapon with an extremely long range. He unleashed the full power of his level 88 Barbarian, drawing his precious bow into an oval shape almost to that length. The arrow, formed from pure power, seemed to be carved from glass, shimmering with dazzling milky light.
Sun Fei loosened his grip.
call out!!
A sharp shriek erupted, as if a thunderbolt had flashed across the sky.
Almost the instant the whistling sound pierced the air, a huge stone projectile in the distance was hit at its connecting point and collapsed like a building block, injuring many soldiers below who were operating the projectile.
A cheer erupted once again atop the walls of Twin Flag City. Soldiers chanted Sun Fei's name, worshipping their legion commander as if he were a God of War. He had single-handedly suppressed the enemy's most formidable siege weapon, nearly annihilating the Ajax's most terrifying siege force.
