"This... this is impossible!" General Sidorius was already in disbelief. The shadow infantry he led on the battlefield had managed to hold on until now, but under this wave of arrows, there were almost not many left.

Shadow infantry soldiers do not carry shields themselves, and the armors they wear are all adult infantry armor of the empire. This means that they are not outstanding in terms of defense level. It is not easy to withstand so many arrows.

.

How could such a level of arrow rain erupt from a small town? This is no more than a large city at the core of the kingdom, right?

After all, archers are only an important force that defends the city, not all of them. Shooting so many sharp arrows in succession must be a rotation of shooting. How can this be done in a small town?

"Damn it, stop fighting now, and quickly withdraw and repair, otherwise not many people will survive." General Creon on the side also roared angrily. He is the best at medical rescue.

.

He knew that with the current situation, if he continued to fight, it would not be impossible for the entire army to be annihilated!

General Agathon looked up at the high city wall with a gloomy expression, and finally agreed to the retreat requests of many lords.

"How is this possible? Why are there so many archers in a small town?" The lord on one side said angrily. Although they are not as core as General Sidorius and General Creon, they are still

The casualties were astonishing!

"It's not okay to fight like this," another lord said.

"I suggest that we shoot at them. After all, there is only one town!" At this time, a lord also frowned and said.

General Creon on the other side also had a sullen face. Although he was ruthless, he was particularly caring for the soldiers under his command. Under his men, casualties were always the lowest.

"I agree with this decision. Our number is several times that of Bute Town, and there may be more archers than their soldiers.

But we adopted the siege method with the lowest efficiency and the highest casualties. There is no doubt that this is a stupid behavior!" General Creon said with a serious face, and many lords also nodded secretly.

They didn't have General Creon's thoughts, but they also understood that the soldiers were injured too much and had too much impact on them.

"Okay," General Agathon nodded, finally agreeing with the opinions of many lords.

So in the next period of time, the two sides began to shoot at each other, but Bute Town was condescending and relied on its height advantage to have a huge advantage in the distance between the arrows and the crossbow bolts.

As for the archers from the empire, either their output range was insufficient, or they had to take great risks to shoot under the rain of arrows in Bute Town.

"Which idiot came up with this method!" Archon Livius shouted angrily. The casualties of his shadow infantry were particularly shocking, but what made him even more angry was that such shocking casualties did not seem to be responded to.

There are some results.

The consul was very angry, looking like he was choosing people to devour. General Agathon couldn't help but feel a little flustered. In terms of status, Consul Livius was even higher than him.

"Let the soldiers with shields hold up their shields and attack." The lord on one side said in a deep voice.

So a large number of imperial soldiers once again held shields on their heads, carrying the rain of arrows and pushing the huge siege vehicles forward.

Some soldiers exclaimed that the arrow rain from the sky would not avoid them because of this, and some of the tops of the siege vehicles were even smashed by the arrows, making the entire siege vehicle look shaky.

Although many soldiers can hide under the siege vehicles, they are not absolutely safe.

Anyway, the situation is much better than before, but...

"Delay spell!" Along with a cold shout from high in the sky, several arrow towers in the four states of the city wall suddenly lit up.

The round tip on top of the minaret is covered with a layer of gray-black luster. It is dark and terrifying and cold, making people feel a little bit uncomfortable.

But the next moment, a gray light and shadow appeared in a section of land under the city wall, and the next moment, the expressions of many soldiers changed.

Because they feel that it is difficult for them to move forward, and it takes a huge amount of effort to take a single step, just like they are in the sea, with huge resistance and they cannot run forward at all.

What's going on? How could it be so evil?

"Is it a spell? As expected, there is a rumored magician in this marquis territory!" General Agathon's expression changed, and Governor Livius also had a look of disbelief on his face.

They do not find it difficult to accept the existence of these things, but they cannot accept that a mere marquis can have all of these!

The previous Snake Worship Cult only had these shadows in a few battles. The terrifying snake god Azdahaka was also very stingy in giving these.

Why is there such a terrifying thing in a small town like this, or a small town in a marquis?

"Come on! When the fighting spirit is burning up, we can't let the people of the Fierce Lion Realm Kingdom laugh!" There was another roar, and a lord shouted.

For this kind of thing, the empire is somewhat prepared after all. The fighting spirit is burning, and the body protection with fighting spirit is enough to repel many magics that are not very powerful in a short period of time.

At this time, General Agathon also looked nervous. Fortunately, it seemed to still be useful. After all, the spells converted through the magic tower were the lowest level and were very different from the elements of the mages themselves.

At this moment, many soldiers seemed to be much faster. Although they were not absolutely immune, they were still much improved compared to before.

But there was a cold snort in the air, "Concentrated acid spell!"

Suddenly, streams of viscous liquid spilled from mid-air. They were transparent and like water. But when they actually fell, there were bursts of painful screams, and... horrifying sounds,

The strong acid corroded everything without any suspense, and the soldiers screamed miserably that even their sophisticated armors could not stop the erosion of the strong acid!

Everyone couldn't believe why this liquid was so terrifying. Some people screamed and saw that their arms had exposed bones. At this time, under the city wall, there was no doubt that it was a purgatory on earth.

"No!" There was another scream, and it was clear that the siege vehicle had already begun to collapse with some cracks. It was obvious that some important parts had been eroded.

And this made countless soldiers panic. Not to mention the weight of the siege vehicle, the key point is that for the vast majority of the soldiers, they lost the barrier to defend against the arrow rain!
