Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 65 What Must Come Will Come (3)





On the wall, the soldiers were all tense as they watched the monsters getting closer and closer to the wall.

But at the very least, they were able to hold onto their bows and point them at the monsters. At the very least, they weren't completely overwhelmed by the large pressure of the monster wave and were still able to fight.

Cecilia gave an appreciative nod when she saw this before focusing on the monster wave again.

Her job was to repel this monster wave, but at the same time, her job was to also ensure that there were as few casualties as possible.

If they lost too many soldiers, then it would leave them vulnerable to being invaded by the other lords around the area. So even if they were to repel the monster wave, they would still have to fight the other lords if they were to become too weakened.

For that, she had asked for the help of the priest.

The priest and several other clerics who could use healing magic were already standing by, just in case anything happened.

Finally, when the monsters came within the range of their arrows, Cecilia raised her hand.

The moment that they saw this hand go up, the soldiers all raised their bows and pointed it up to the sky. However, all of them only drew back the string and didn't fire their arrows.

They were all waiting for…

Cecilia narrowed her eyes to watch the position of the monsters as they approached. Only when they reached a certain point did she drop that hand and shout, "Fire at will!"

As soon as the soldiers heard this from Cecilia, they immediately shot all the arrows that they had nocked.

These arrows flew high and true, creating a perfect arc in the air before landing on the monsters right behind the first line of monsters in this wave. They pierced right through the skins of the monsters with the momentum of gravity and several monsters fell down right away.

There was still a line of monsters that were charging in front of this line, but the archers that were shooting completely ignored them.

They fired waves after waves of arrows at the monsters that were charging, but not a single one of them cared about the monsters that had made it through the first wave of arrows. They just let that line of monsters get closer and closer to the wall until…

They were within the range of the secondary archers.

These were specialized archery experts who had far greater power and accuracy than these general archers. These general archers could only shoot in a general location, but these specialized archers were able to pick off any monster that they wanted with ease.

It was just too bad that they didn't have enough of them for an entire squad…

Still, these were more than enough to pick off the ones that had made it through the rain of arrows.

It took them no time at all to shoot down that first line of monsters before turning to a few monsters that were still approaching.

These were the monsters that had survived the rain of arrows and had made it out of the area where the arrows were falling down. They were injured, but they were still able to fight.

It was just too bad that their lives were ended by the accurate and powerful arrows that flew through the air. Once those specialized archers shot, they didn't miss.

Seeing the monsters being whittled down like this, Cecilia gave a satisfied nod.

This was all going according to plan.

The first wave of arrows was to separate the frontlines from the rest of the pack so that the specialized archers could pick them off. Then they would pick off the stronger monsters that slowly made their way through.

If they had shot the frontlines of the monster wave, it would have created a blocking force that would have stopped the entire wave. However, by shooting the middle of the wave, they were able to create enough momentum that the monsters were pushed into the rain of arrows while also making it hard for them to stop.

This would force the monsters into the kill box.

As time passed, more and more of the monsters were cut down with the arrows.

By a rough estimate, Cecilia guessed that over two hundred monsters had already been killed with these waves of arrows.

But as time passed, problems did occur.

First, the monsters were slowly coming to a stop and they no longer charged into the area where it was raining arrows.

Second…they were running out of arrows.

The soldiers had been shooting arrows without care, as if they would never run out of ammo, but that wasn't the case. There was only a certain amount of arrows that were available to them and they were slowly running out.

They still needed to save a certain amount of arrows for those specialized archers, or else they wouldn't be able to contribute.

So as the monsters slowly stopped coming into the rain of arrows, Cecilia raised her hand again. As soon as she raised her hand, the archers stopped their shooting and put their bows down.

The rain of arrows came to a stop and the few monsters that survived made their way forward to get shot by the specialized archers.

Cecilia had expected some of the monsters to charge again after seeing the rain of arrows stop, but to her surprise, she found that this wasn't the case. Instead, they all stopped in their tracks before splitting up into different groups.contemporary romance

When Cecilia saw this, she couldn't help knitting her brows.

From the signs from the monster wave just now, she had figured that there was someone who was commanding them. After all, the monsters had stopped charging into the rain of arrows too quickly…

And now that they were splitting up into different groups and from what she could see, each of these groups was led by one or two of the middle class monsters…it was clear that someone was commanding these monsters.

She didn't know who it was, but she knew that there was at least a chain of command here.

This was definitely not a good sign.

Still, she didn't panic as she had already expected this after seeing the large number of middle class monsters in the wave.

She had already expected something like this to happen eventually, so she had also prepared for what they were currently doing.

After seeing that the monsters had split up into different groups that seemed like they were about to approach from different angles, Cecilia gave a hand gesture to her lieutenant beside her.

As soon as this lieutenant received this signal,  he immediately gave a nod of acknowledgement before running off to take care of something.

It took him no time to run back with several figures in cloaks and several figures wearing holy robes.

These figures didn't need any instructions as they took their places on the wall, evenly spreading themselves out so that they weren't close together.

Then they all raised their hands, causing flames to gather above them.
