Chapter 632: Chapter 472, Borrowing Arrows with Thatched Boats (470 and 471 have been rewritten.)_1
(July 1st, Chapter 470 and 471 have been refreshed, everyone have another look.)
Whistle! Whistle! Whistle!!
The silent forest began to tremble violently.
A rain of arrows shot out, attacking the wagon and the soldiers on the road.
The neighing of horses and the wailing of soldiers filled the entire area.
Ding! Ding! Ding!!
Arrows penetrated the wagon, which shook continuously.
Fang Hao felt as if a hailstorm had begun in the sky, a relentless, concentrated assault on the wagon body.
He lay at the bottom of the wagon, pressing Rebecca firmly beneath him.
At this moment, he had no chance to feel the softness beneath him, his ears filled only with the sound of arrows embedding into the carriage wall.
Fortunately, Rebecca’s two wagons were sturdy, and no arrows managed to penetrate them.
A string of orders came from outside the wagon.
“Overturn the wagons and use them as shields, prepare to counterattack,” Aseti’s voice rang out.
Wagon after wagon filled with supplies were overturned and propped up.
The surrounding soldiers, as well as some mercenaries, quickly hid behind them and began to counterattack.
Compared to the rest of the people’s archery counterattacks, the rifles of the Lionheart Knights garnered everyone’s attention.
Click-click-boom! Boom! Boom!
The Lionheart Knights, proficiently pulling the bolt, began to retaliate against the forest from where the arrows were being shot.
Although it was impossible to confirm the enemy’s position, they could make rough estimates based on the trajectory of where the arrows were being shot from.
At such close range, the power of a rifle far exceeded the arrows in the enemy’s hands.
One after another, shots were fired.
Sudden wails began to resound from within the forest.
Clearly, enemies had been hit, and the rifle fire had forced the enemies to slow down their attack speed.
Arrows and bullets continuously clipped each other.
Just then, the dense forest to the left-rear of the ranks began to violently shake as well.
Everyone’s faces dramatically changed.
It was obvious that the enemy had more reinforcements rapidly approaching.
Moreover, judging by the scope of the forest’s shaking, their numbers were large.
This was a pincer attack.
If we don’t charge out quickly enough, everyone’s lives will be at risk.
“Where’s Fang Hao?” At that moment, Anjia ran over crouching and asked in a cold voice.
Demitrija and Aseti both glanced at the hedgehog-like wagon, “He’s in the wagon, he’s safe.”
“I’m going to get him out of there,” Anjia said.
“Wait!”
Demitrija spoke and then took a deep breath immediately.
Blue energy gathered in his abdomen, then surged up to his throat.
Whew!
In the next second, Demitrija exhaled a thick fog, which quickly spread along the road.
It enveloped the entire Lisbet team.
The thick fog surrounded the team on the road, while also obstructing the enemy’s view.
There was a bustling sound!!
You could hear the soldiers in the fog constantly changing positions, yet because their vision was blocked, they could only blindly shoot arrows into the fog.
However, once the arrows entered the fog, they disappeared like stones thrown into an abyss.
No feedback, and no sound of anything being hit.
Anjia didn’t hesitate any longer and led several people straight to the wagon’s location.
…
The magnificent wagon was now unrecognizable.
The horses pulling the wagon were dead, the right side of the carriage was completely filled with arrows.
The wagon continued to shake violently.
The tormented wooden planks could not withstand such frequent attacks.
Arrows were already passing through, shooting into the carriage interior.
Fang Hao laid on the ground, grabbed the leather armor from the soft seat and put it on Rebecca.
In the rush, his movements were a bit rough.
He forcefully pushed it onto her chest where it wouldn’t quite fit.
At the moment, Rebecca was somewhat dazed and pale.
“What… what do we do?”
“It’s okay. Now is not the time to panic,” Fang Hao forced himself to calm down.
He had ways to save his life.
Even if they were surrounded, he could take advantage of the Demon Teleportation and leave directly.
He could ensure the safety of himself and several of his Heroes.
However, now was not the time to retreat.
While he clumsily outfitted Rebecca with the armor, he realized that the rhythm of arrows bombarding the carriage had significantly lessened.
Fog seeped through the cracks in the carriage wall.
Squeak!
The door on the other side of the wagon was pulled open, revealing Anjia’s face.
“Get off quickly.”
The arrows on the right side were still shooting at the wagon based on their memory.
Anjia pulled the two of them out.
They all huddled together and headed towards the rest of the group.
Running, Fang Hao looked back at the devastated wagon.
The originally magnificent carriage had turned into a prickly, box-shaped hedgehog.
Like the story of Zhuge Liang borrowing arrows, it was completely filled with arrows.
If they hadn’t been pulled out and the enemy kept shooting at the wagon, the carriage wouldn’t hold out much longer and would fall apart into a pile of debris.
Seeing that Fang Hao and Rebecca had returned safe, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Even the mercenaries who didn’t care about the two of them, were worried about their pay.
“My Lord, are you okay?” Aseti moved closer and asked.
Demitrija, along with a group of Lionheart knights, looked over at the same time.
“I’m fine, can we confirm the number of enemies?” Fang Hao asked.
From the intensity of the arrows, the number of enemies was large, and they were well-prepared.
The accident of the merchant caravan overturning was a trap set up by the enemy.
“Judging by the density of the arrows, there are over a thousand enemies, and there are many enemies approaching from the left-rear,” said Aseti.
