Heart of the Castle

Chapter 619 Feint Attack Burning City Hide-and-Seek
The charge with heavy casualties lasted for nearly 10 minutes. The demon army finally failed to attack the hill, but left thousands of corpses and retreated to Iron Rock City in a chaotic manner.Larry Moonbow continued to grab an exploding flame arrow from his quiver, trying to put it on the bowstring, but a sharp pain came from his finger, which made him unable to hold the long arrow firmly, so he missed it and dropped it. underfoot.It wasn't until this moment that the elf secret archer realized that the four fingers of his right hand were dripping with blood at some point, and the pain was so painful that it was very difficult to even stretch it. It seemed that the crazy rapid-fire just now had made him exceed his limit.

The secret archer La Rui Yuebow, who is second to none in the Moon Whispering Forest, is still like this. Of course, those sharpshooters and archers who are not as strong as him are even more embarrassed. I didn't feel it at the time, but now that the fighting has stopped, all of them gritted their teeth in pain, and their faces turned pale.

Sir Grace was the only one who didn't hurt his fingers. On the one hand, he wore a steel finger protection to assist in archery. On the other hand, he paid more attention to frequency and accuracy when shooting quickly, rather than blindly seeking speed. Strive to pour all the long arrows on the devil's head in the shortest possible time.After calming down, Larry Moonbow was surprised to recall Sir Grace's attack method. Every arrow of the sniper archer accurately hit the location of the demon commander or team leader. There is still no way to gather enough strength.

When it comes to the number of enemies killed, Sir Grace is definitely not as good as Larry Moonbow, and I am afraid that he is not as good as the best elf archers.However, they made great contributions in repelling the death charge of the demon army. The demon's fighting will is worthy of praise. Even in the chaotic situation and heavy losses, they were able to approach the elves' position within a hundred meters. In terms of distance, if the team leaders and demon leaders try to organize an orderly group charge, no one can guarantee whether the rapid fire of the elf archers can stop these crazy and powerful demons.

"This is the so-called ability to grasp the situation of the battle." Larry Moonbow sighed softly, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.Grasp the battle situation - this was once one of the most proud abilities of the elven sharpshooter, but after hundreds of years of peace and closure, even as a secret archer, he is completely unable to compare with Sir Grace.Larry Moonbow found sadly that the long peace not only made the courage of the elves dwindle day by day, but even their fighting skills also declined a lot unconsciously.

The archery contest in the Gift of Peace was indeed unfair. Larry Moonbow had now discovered that if it was simply a contest of archery skills, Sir Grace was not even much better than ordinary elf marksmen.However, when the demon army launched a group charge, even Larry Moonbow forgot everything and desperately repeated the mechanical activities of drawing the bow, nocking the arrow, shooting, drawing the bow, nocking the arrow, shooting, but Sir Grace was still keen. Grasp the movement of the demon army, and use the fewest arrows to create the greatest battle results.

While Larry Moonbow was secretly sighing in his heart, Sir Grace began to pack up the remaining bursting flame arrows, and then put the silver fir longbow on his shoulders again.This action made many elf archers around him a little confused. One of the young elves who was a bit rash couldn't help asking, "Human archer, what are you doing?"

"Relocate." Sir Grace replied in the most concise way, and then frowned at Larry Moonbow, "This place is no longer safe, we must leave immediately."

"Leave? Why do you want to leave here?" Before Larry Moonbow could answer, the young elf sharpshooter had already interjected, with the same surprised expression and tone, "Our arrow reserves are still sufficient, and we can at least launch one or two arrows." With an attack of the magnitude just now, it would be too early to evacuate now."

"I thought our task should not be to defend this mountain at all costs." Sir Grace crossed his arms and raised his chin towards Larry Moonbow, "I propose to evacuate here immediately, the next attack by the devil may not be the same The same disorderly charge as before."

"Besides, most of us have injured our fingers. We really should evacuate temporarily, and then bandage and treat them." Larry Moonbow nodded in agreement, and then added.

"This injury is nothing, Lord Larry Moonbow, we can continue to fight." Another elf marksman said firmly.

Larry Moonbow touched the sharpshooter's wrist, and immediately made the corner of the latter's painful mouth tremble, "It's nothing to say? The injuries on your fingers and wrists must be treated immediately, otherwise you may never be able to take them again in the future." Longbow, everyone obeys the order, pack up your things immediately, and evacuate this place in 1 minute!"

Facts have proved that Sir Grace's proposal is very correct, and Larry Moonbow's decision is also very timely. Just after the elf archers packed up their things and evacuated from the hill, there was a thunderous boom from the direction of Iron Rock City. After more than ten seconds, the sky suddenly turned blood red, and with the screams that tore through the atmosphere, dozens of huge fireballs fell from the sky and exploded when they hit the ground, completely engulfing the hill in a fiery sea of ​​flames among.

"This is... the meteor fire shower of the Abyssal Balrog!" Larry Moonbow couldn't help trembling all over his body, "Ellara, if I was stubborn and didn't follow Sir Grace's advice just now..." He was afraid Let out a sigh of relief, "At least half of the troops must be casualties."

Although the somewhat reckless young elf turned pale like the other companions, he was still full of curiosity, "Human sharpshooter, how do you know that the devil will counterattack us with this terrible magic?" His There is obvious admiration and gratitude in the tone.

Sir Grace shook his head lightly, looked at the flaming hills, and there was a hint of emotion in his eyes, "I don't know how the devil counterattacks like this, but I know very well how a sharpshooter should fight Protect yourself on the battlefield. No matter how good the position is, after a round of strikes, it becomes unsafe, and the safest defense is to prevent the enemy from finding our position."

Larry Moonbow came over, "Sir Grace, thank you for saving all of us." He bowed deeply and said, "Larry Moonbow will never forget your kindness, and neither will the elves, but now The war is not over yet, please tell me, what should we do next?"

Sir Grace closed his eyes and thought for a while. When he opened them, Larry Moonbow saw that there seemed to be a raging flame inside, "We have overfulfilled the task given to us by Lord Levi Stone. Outside Iron Rock City, at least five or six demon teams were wiped out, and at the same time attracted enough attention from the commander of the demon army. Now we can return here and wait for the triumphant return of the main force led by Lord Li Wei, Larry Moonbow My lord, do you think..."

"We can't go back." Larry Moonbow interrupted Sir Grace's next words, "The greater the number of demon troops we are holding here, the less pressure Lord Leviston will bear, and the chance of victory It will also be higher. So we must do our best to share some pressure on the main force as much as possible."

"We want to go together, Lord Larry Moonbow." Sir Grace nodded in agreement, and at the same time there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "The ability to kill demons is second, if we can attract more attention from the commander of the demon army It can indeed provide more help to the main force led by Master Li Wei."

The eyes of the sniper archer flicked in the direction of Iron Rock City, "However, this form of surprise attack can no longer be used, otherwise, the next time, the commander of the demon army will definitely launch a meteor fire shower or other similar attacks without hesitation. The destructive magic directly hits us fiercely. Compared with consumption, we will never be the opponent of demons."

"That's right, Sir Grace, so I will entrust you with the power to command the troops. For the sake of victory, please don't refuse." Larry Yuebow finished speaking frankly, and removed the elf symbol from his chest. The badge of the Chief of the Marksmen, held in both hands and handed to Sir Grace.

Sir Grace was slightly taken aback, then happily took the badge and pinned it on his chest, "In that case, I accept your entrustment, and everything is for victory." He announced with a secretive smile. "The next battle may be very hard, but it is definitely in a way that you have never seen before - we and the demon army are here to play a good game of hide-and-seek."

"Hide and seek?" Larry Moonbow repeated in confusion, then nodded with a sudden realization, "You are planning to use this method to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the demon army. It is a very good idea, but there is a very difficult premise for doing so. We must find a guide who is familiar with the surrounding terrain."

"For the terrain here, no one knows better than me..." Sir Grace said softly, "I have lived here for 18 years, and I have traveled to every hill and valley until... that day... "

Sir Grace's voice suddenly choked up, and Larry Yuebow turned around in surprise, but only saw the lonely back of the sniper archer.He didn't know if Sir Grace had shed tears, but when he turned around, the number one sharpshooter in the Kingdom of Arthur had already recovered his composure.

"Get ready to go." He took one last look at the burning Iron Rock City, and then ordered. "The last ones are responsible for cleaning up the traces of the action, so that those devils will never find us."

Perhaps because Sir Grace's tone was too calm, Larry Yuegong didn't understand for a while, "Sir Grace, where are we going now?"

"Of course, go to a place that is secluded enough to set up camp." Sir Grace replied, while taking big steps, "What we need most now is to bandage and treat the wound, and then take a good rest. After the game of hide-and-seek begins, There may not be much chance to rest."
