The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

The cave rock worm is a sixth-tier magical beast, and even the elite Paladin Order would have to work in squads to hunt it down.

However, there are now eight rock worms, which is clearly beyond the knights' ability to handle.

“They can handle it,” Samif said without further explanation.

Her gaze was no longer on the scene.

While both involve controlling monsters, controlling a fourth-tier Frostwolf and controlling a sixth-tier Cave Rock Worm are completely different concepts.

If a simple hint is all it takes to manipulate the Frostwolf's movements, then the manipulator must be nearby to make the Crypt Fiends endure the sunlight while fighting the Knights.

......

It was at this moment that the reserve team, which Sain had kept until the very end, moved.

The complex terrain made it difficult for the warhorses to perform well, so they all dismounted.

Knowing that spears and short swords were ineffective against large magical beasts, they switched to greatswords and giant axes specifically designed to deal with large monsters.

If the First Company is the elite company of the Third Battalion, then the First Platoon is the elite platoon of the elite company.

The addition of this elite force instantly stabilized the battle situation.

The elite squad, consisting of five members working together, managed to hold back half of the cave rock worms.

After the second squad divided some of their men to cover the evacuation of the wounded, they also managed to firmly contain the movement of a cave worm.

The remaining rock worms are all a match for Saiin alone.

"drink!"

Sain fought three opponents alone and killed another one.

With the help of weapons that are effective against monsters, the elite squad also managed to take down a rock worm.

The scales of victory are gradually tipping in favor of the Knights.

“It’s time to show up,” Samif murmured.

Both she and Sain knew that the enemy would not sit idly by and wait to be killed, so they had to be especially wary of the enemy's counterattack.

Three rock worms were not enough to restrain Saiyin, and now that one of them is missing, he is even less of a match for him.

Sain ran upwards, stepping on the rock worm's body, intending to repeat his previous scheme.

Just as he swung his sword into the rock worm's body, a long spear suddenly pierced out from the rock worm's abdomen.

"Go to hell you!"

"!"

Sain suspected that the enemy had an ambush, and even devoted a lot of attention to his surroundings.

But who would have thought that the ambush was hidden inside the rock worm's abdomen?

It was too late to draw the sword at this point.

Sain released his sword and grabbed the spear shaft with both hands, but unexpectedly, his opponent made a feint, turning the spear from a thrust into a slash halfway through.

By the time Sayn raised his hand to defend himself, it was too late.

"boom!"

By this time, the ground had already been riddled with holes by these rock worms, and Sain, who had not been able to completely defend himself, was instantly smashed into the ground.

"The captain of the St. Freya Knights is nothing special!" Gunnis laughed loudly.

He had only managed to defeat Sain by a fraction of a move through a sneak attack, yet he still shamelessly mocked him.

......

"Samif!"

Seeing that Sain's fate was uncertain, Viner could no longer control herself and called Samif by his full name.

The battlefield situation changes rapidly. Without Sain's support, the First Company has clearly fallen into a disadvantageous position.

The only person who can fill Sain's vacancy right now is this Samif.

Since the battlefield was still some distance away, Wiener naturally urged him to set off.

Samif finally made a move, taking out a longbow and arrows from behind her back and gently placing her fingers on the bowstring.

But she quickly loosened her grip.

"No, we shouldn't have given him that arrow."

......

Despite the mockery, before confirming that Sain was completely dead, Gunnis dared not be careless in the slightest and continued to smash down on the spot where Sain had fallen.

The fact that the commander's fate is unknown is enough to cause the entire army to collapse on the spot in any unit.

The knights, still engaged in battle, though worried about their captain's safety, managed to maintain the front line.

The extra Rock Worms created by the loss of Cygnus's control were taken over by the Sharp Knife Squad.

The captain's fall, however, only fueled their fighting spirit.

Only by dealing with the immediate enemy can they free up their hands to rescue their captain.

The earth began to tremble once again.

A rock worm, noticeably thicker and stronger than its counterparts, broke through the soil.

This rock worm didn't rush into the battle, simply because a person was standing on its head.

"As expected of the Knights of St. Freya, I prepared so many cannon fodder and sacrificed so many cuties, yet I still couldn't take you down." Lucien's voice carried a hint of admiration.

The most important role of those bandits who were tricked into coming here was to provide data for his experiments; their deaths were not a pity.

But these ten rock worms were his trump card, painstakingly cultivated.

If I hadn't had Gunnis hide inside the rock worm and seized the opportunity when Sai's stamina was greatly depleted to launch a sneak attack, I probably wouldn't have been able to do anything to this squadron.

"Let me introduce myself, I am—"

"Snapped!"

Before Lucien could finish speaking, a large hole suddenly appeared in his upper body.

From the chest cavity to the abdomen, it was as if they had disappeared.

This change stunned everyone present.

The only thing that remained unaffected was the rock worm beneath Lucien's feet.

After the rock worm swallowed Lucien's corpse whole, the group faintly heard the sound of an arrow.

......

This astonishing arrow was undoubtedly the work of Samif.

“No, you…” Viner was at a loss for words.

Neither "shooting an arrow through a willow leaf from a hundred paces" nor "shooting an arrow through a halberd at the gate" can adequately describe Samif's arrow.

At a distance of a thousand meters, hitting the target with a single arrow is already difficult enough.

Its power is enough to instantly kill even a seemingly formidable enemy.

With just this one skill of sniping from beyond the line of sight, how many people could defend against it?

When Field said that Samif and Sain were equally matched, Viner thought he was trying to defend his own squad leader.

Now, Vena only felt that she had spoken too loudly to Lady Samif.

Coach, is it too late for him to learn archery now?

"I only have one chance, and I must save it for this emblem user who can control magical beasts."

Samif thought that Vena wanted to ask her why she hadn't taken action, so she explained.

The cold sweat on his forehead was enough to prove that this arrow was no easy feat.

“It’s alright, it’s alright, you don’t need to explain to me.” Vina’s attitude toward Samif completely reversed.

Only after witnessing this arrow did he realize how much Samif had held back against him.

"Is that so? Then you can shoot the next arrow."

Samif handed the bow to Vina.

Wiener: "?"

Chapter 190 One Arrow to Devastation

"Why don't you explain it to me?"

Vena was suddenly under immense pressure, completely unsure of what this woman was up to.

"After I gave you the Ink Shadow, you just left it at home to collect dust, right?" Samif said.

"You already have the ability to use it."

Without a word, Samif shoved the bow into Vina's hands.

"I won't be able to shoot that arrow a second time in a short period of time, so I'll leave this one to you."

"That's what they say, but I still need to have a goal—"

Wiener suddenly realized something.

“Let’s use that rock worm. It’s a bigger target, making it easier to shoot,” Samif said with a matter-of-fact expression. “Consider it your archery test.”

Samif still seemed to resent her identity as an archery instructor.

"If you make such a demand, I won't be responsible if you lose face."

Vina drew an arrow from Samif's quiver and drew his bow.

He actually put in some effort for a while, secretly practicing "strong bow" at night.

With Gundolaf's modifications, it can maintain its power and accuracy within 200 meters, but beyond 200 meters, it depends on the opponent's accuracy.

It was because he had tried it that he understood the significance of Samif's arrow.

Wiener adopts the starting stance of "Strong Bow".

“That’s not how it works,” Samif interrupted Vina’s charge. “The ‘Strong Bow’ isn’t long enough at this distance.”

No, you know a strong bow is useless, yet you still want me to shoot it?

"Use your emblem to feel the lingering echo of that arrow," Samif instructed.

“That’s not enough,” Wiener retorted.

His magic concentration had only just recovered to the third-tier level, and even if he tried to imitate it, he could never achieve even one-tenth of Samif's effect.

“Jessica said you have a special martial skill that allows you to condense your magic energy several times over in a short period of time. Use that too,” Samif continued.

"Why would she tell you this?" Wiener asked, puzzled.

“Jessica told me that you have learned how to condense magic essence, but you don’t know how to use it. You just swing and slash around like a brute. She asked me to take this opportunity to teach you,” Samif replied.

Jessica asked Samif for two favors, and this is just one of them.

Secondly, it was to ensure that Samif kept an eye on Vina during this internship so that nothing unexpected happened.

This prefect had come to a clear understanding of Viner's ability to cause trouble.

"...I'll give it a try."

Vina slowly closed her eyes, her aura gradually solidifying. The moment she opened her eyes again, the aura emanating from her body was completely different.

Compared to the previous use of One Slash Asura, although the total amount of magic essence was slightly less, its purity of condensation reached an unprecedented level.

With his left hand, Venerer steadily held up the longbow, and Gondorav, empowered by the Shura Blade, burst forth with unprecedented brilliance.

He drew the bowstring taut with his right hand, feeling the intent that Samif had left on the bow.

“Remember, only one arrow!” Samif reminded her again.

Viner understood immediately and continued to pour his magical energy into the arrow.
