Chapter 6: Fireball Technique

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Charge!” Under the command of the Skeleton Knight, 12 Skeleton Soldiers charged towards the direction of the Arrow Tower.

Under the buff of the Acceleration Halo, the speed of the 12 Skeleton Soldiers was like riding on warhorses as they charged towards the direction of the Arrow Tower.

“Archers, can you hit these skeletons with the Acceleration Halo?” Thomas asked the two archers beside him.

“Absolutely,” the archers patted their chests and promised.

“Then don’t make a move first. Wait until they reach a distance of 75 meters before you shoot that Skeleton Knight. Remember, you must wait until the distance is about 75 meters before you shoot that Skeleton Knight,” Thomas warned.

The reason why he did this was because he wanted to completely leave the Skeleton Knight behind.

He would first let the Skeleton Knight in and kill it when it was 75 meters away. This way, once the Skeleton Knight died, the Skeleton Soldiers under it would become lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Regardless of whether they chose to attack or retreat, this 75-meter distance became an insurmountable chasm. They would all die under the arrows of the archers.

“Understood!” Although the two archers did not know why Thomas was doing this, they still carried out Thomas’ orders faithfully.

The Skeleton Knight brought its Skeleton Soldiers along with it under the boost of the Acceleration Halo, as they charged towards Thomas’ Arrow Tower.

After charging past the 100-meter shooting range, they realized that the arrows they had expected were not coming, and the Skeleton Knight was overjoyed. It shouted to the Skeleton Soldiers behind it, “The cowardly humans are so frightened by us that they can no longer lift their bows. Now, let us demolish their Arrow Tower! Charge!”

The Skeleton Soldiers raised their scimitars high and charged towards Thomas.

Seeing the Skeleton Soldiers approaching step by step, the archers still did not move. They were quietly calculating the distance.

Seeing this situation, the leading Skeleton Knight thought that its charging momentum had scared the other party so much that they did not dare to retaliate. It immediately became even more proud. It urged the white bone warhorse under it and charged toward the Arrow Tower.

“90 meters, 85 meters, 80 meters, 75 meters! Now!”

When the Skeleton Knight had just reached 75 meters, the two archers who had been prepared for a long time immediately drew their bows and aimed their arrows at the Skeleton Knight.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two arrows let out a piercing sound as they shot towards the Skeleton Knight.

“Not good!” When the Skeleton Knight heard the sound of the arrows, it knew that it had been tricked.

At this moment, it was too late for it to stop.

Just now, in order to charge at the front, it had made the Skeleton Warhorse use its maximum speed. Now, even if it wanted to turn around, it was an extremely difficult task.

The angle of the two arrows was also very tricky. They shot directly at the path that the Skeleton Knight had to pass through. It looked like the Skeleton Knight had bumped into the arrows by itself.

Pu! Pu!

The two arrows hit the Skeleton Knight’s body.

The powerful force attached to the arrows knocked the Skeleton Knight off its horse.

With a plop, the Skeleton Knight fell heavily to the ground.

Before it could get up, two more arrows landed on its body.

Thud! Thud!

The two arrows hit its arm. The arrows passed through its body and nailed it firmly to the ground.

The Skeleton Knight tried to get up, but found that its arm was nailed to the ground by the arrows. It could not help but fly into a rage. It looked up and saw Thomas standing on the Arrow Tower, giving it a thumbs up.

The Skeleton Knight was about to go crazy. It shouted at Thomas, “I’m going to kill you!”

However, the archers standing beside Thomas did not stop. They continuously shot arrows at the Skeleton Knight.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

They shot seven or eight arrows in a row. The Skeleton Knight’s body collapsed, turning into white bone fragments on the ground.

In the middle of the fragments, there was a green magic core.

“As expected, the magic core dropped. This magic core must be obtained!” Thomas was excited, but he did not forget that they were still on the battlefield.

He said to the archers beside him, “Aim at those Skeleton Soldiers. We must kill them all within the range of the Arrow Tower.”

“Yes, Sir Thomas!”

The two archers accepted the order and aimed their bows at the Skeleton Soldiers.

At this moment, the Skeleton Soldiers had lost the lead of the Skeleton Knight. They immediately became chaotic. Some of them wanted to continue charging forward, while others turned around and ran, wanting to leave the battlefield.

However, it was too late. The archers had already shot their arrows at them.

They were only ordinary level 1 Skeleton Soldiers. They had also lost the buffs of the Acceleration Halo. They were completely unable to retaliate against the level 2 archers. They were easily taken away by the two archers, one arrow at a time.

Seeing that the Skeleton Soldiers were killed by the archers, Hall, who had been watching from afar, suddenly became furious.

It said to the Skeleton Knight beside it, “Treacherous human! Use your skills and bring me up. I want to kill this human with my own hands!”

“Yes!” The Skeleton Knight immediately obeyed.

The Skeleton Knight took out its longsword and shouted, “White Bone Guardian!”

In an instant, a huge White Bone Shield appeared in front of the Skeleton Mage Hall and the 12 Skeleton Soldiers behind it. Everyone held the huge White Bone Shield in their hands and slowly approached the Arrow Tower.

“There’s actually a Skeleton Knight who knows group skills?” Seeing the skeletons below, Thomas was shocked.

According to what he knew, Skeleton Knights who knew group skills were not common among dark creatures. Usually, a Skeleton Mage would only bring a single Skeleton Knight who knew group skills.

And this Skeleton Mage named Hall actually brought along two of them. This meant that this Skeleton Mage Hall was definitely not an ordinary Skeleton Mage. There must be a huge force behind it.

Thinking of this, Thomas became even more determined not to let Skeleton Mage Hall go.

Otherwise, he would definitely face Skeleton Mage Hall’s endless revenge.

“Archers, fire away at their shields!” Thomas ordered.

“Yes!”

The two archers immediately changed the direction of their bows and arrows, aimed at Skeleton Mage Hall, and shot out their arrows.

Bang! Bang!

The two arrows had just shot in front of Skeleton Mage Hall when they were blocked by the huge White Bone Shield. The shield was wide and large, directly blocking Skeleton Mage Hall’s entire body.

“Sir Thomas, this shield is too strong. Our arrows can’t break it open!”

The two archers said in shame.

“Then let’s kill the scattered Skeleton Soldiers first. I’ll think of a way to deal with the rest.” Thomas looked at Skeleton Mage Hall, who was hiding behind the White Bone Shield, and frowned.

“Yes.” The two archers were helpless and could only deal with the scattered Skeleton Soldiers.

By the time the archers had killed all the Skeleton Soldiers, the remaining Skeleton Soldiers had already arrived 50 meters away from the Arrow Tower with their huge White Bone Shields.

The skeletons slowly stopped in their tracks. Skeleton Mage Hall sneered, “You killed my knight earlier. Now, I’ll let you have a taste of being shot!”

“Fireball!”

Following Skeleton Mage Hall’s roar, a green fireball shot towards Thomas.
