Chapter 568: Chasing the Enemy Out of the City

Ordinary bows have a maximum range of only three to five hundred steps. However, the Divine Archers’ range astonishingly reached an incredible two thousand steps, shocking everyone. The vanguard of the Ye family’s army was thrown into disarray.

...

"What’s going on? Why is the range so far?"

"It can’t be! What kind of bow and arrow is this? Why is it so terrifying?"

"Normally, arrows only have a range of two hundred steps. There’s a saying, ’shooting a leaf at a hundred steps,’ and some people with weaker physical strength can’t even shoot a hundred steps, let alone two hundred. But the defenders of Tianmen City have a range of two thousand steps!"

"This is... unbelievably shocking!"

"Extremely long range! Super-fast shooting speed! Incredibly accurate!"

"This is what a super Divine Archer is!"

"And there’s not just one Divine Archer! Among the thousands of archers in the defending army, they are all Divine Archers! That’s terrifying!"

"Unbelievable! Over two thousand Divine Archers? You should know, even regular Divine Archers can’t achieve this!"

"Shocked for ten thousand years!"

...

In the chat channel, the trialists were dumbfounded. They were amazed by what they were seeing, their eyes wide with disbelief. Indeed, anyone witnessing this scene would be shocked beyond measure.

The status of Divine Archers is highly esteemed everywhere. Even in a colossal force like the Ye family, they are usually high-ranking individuals commanding armies. But in Waldo’s ranks, there were more than two thousand Divine Archers...

How could they remain calm?

...

Some sharp-eyed individuals, their minds whirring, quickly realized something, their eyes widening in disbelief, mouths agape.

"Impossible!"

"Impossible!"

"How could they be legendary Divine Archers? Absolutely impossible!"

... 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"What Divine Archers?"

"Damn, no way! Legendary troops!"

"I just thought of it, there’s a legendary troop type in the system called Divine Archers! Their range is typically around two thousand steps. Summoning a single Divine Archer requires twenty points, which is equivalent to killing twenty ordinary soldiers to earn that many points!"

"Damn! Waldo actually has such a powerful troop type!"

"Terrifying!"

For a moment, the chat channel was swept up in a wave of astonishment. Speculations about Waldo were rampant. In everyone’s eyes, Waldo suddenly became an enigmatic figure. Those trialists who had previously underestimated Waldo now looked serious, their eyes flickering as they pondered. Their expressions were decidedly uneasy.

...

Compared to them, the turmoil in the hearts of Gu Yong and Gu Li, the parties directly involved, was a thousand times more intense.

"Divine Archers?!"

"Legendary troops?!"

"Impossible! It can’t be!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Gu Li, as if greatly shocked, kept shaking his head while speaking, his voice trembling. Waldo having legendary troops was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Even Gu Yong, who had always been confident, had to take a deep breath to steady his violently trembling heart. Then, with a fierce look in his eyes, he shouted loudly.

"All troops, heed my command! No retreat, those who disobey will be killed without mercy!" His voice boomed, instantly spreading across the battlefield. As the commander in the rear, Gu Yong’s orders resonated.

The Ye family’s army, despite their fear, dared not retreat. Reluctantly, they had to grit their teeth and charge forward.

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

This was the only thought left in their minds. Charge forward! Charge! As long as they moved quickly enough, they could take advantage of the gaps between the enemy’s arrow volleys to reach the archers and climb the city walls. Each one of them was driven by anger.

Fearless in the face of death! However, the true power of the legendary Divine Archers was beyond their imagination. Each draw of the bow released three arrows! Drawing the bow, shooting, then drawing again... It all happened in the blink of an eye, with virtually no pause. So skilled, so fluid!

As a result, a continuous rain of arrows filled the sky, showing no signs of stopping.

...

Amidst cries of agony, the Ye family’s army suffered heavy losses. Eventually, they broke down. The arrows were too powerful. Thick and unavoidable, each arrow was incredibly precise and had a long range. Watching the arrows whizz past their heads, the soldiers were finally overwhelmed with fear.

No matter how Gu Yong, the commander in the rear, rebuked them, the collapse of the Ye family’s army was inevitable.

...

"Retreat!" Left with no choice, Gu Yong finally gave the order. As he watched the Ye family’s army begin to withdraw, the gates of Tianmen City swung wide open. Strong Warriors formed formations and chased after the retreating and disintegrating Ye family army, slaughtering them from behind. The situation on the battlefield shifted dramatically! Moments earlier, the Ye family’s army had been powerful and aggressive, but now they were in complete disarray.

...

Still, the Ye family’s army was battle-hardened and experienced. Under the leadership of some generals, the army regrouped and formed a makeshift formation, momentarily gaining the upper hand against the Strong Warriors. Seeing this, Gu Yong’s face turned cold and ruthless.

"Just a few thousand dare to leave the protection of the city walls, seeking death! Although my army of two hundred thousand has lost tens of thousands to your archers, you are still not in a position to provoke us!" he thought. "Since you’ve left the safety of your city to seek death, we’ll take you down!"

Then, under unified command...

The Ye family’s army launched a counterattack. For a moment, the Strong Warriors found themselves struggling to cope.

...

"Waldo was too impulsive!"

"Exactly, he should have stopped while he was ahead. After all, he already had a big advantage. The Divine Archers have already killed at least ten thousand of the Ye family’s soldiers, which would earn him a considerable number of points. He could have used those points to summon more soldiers!"

"Right, he should have been content with repelling the Ye family’s army!"

"He got carried away, thinking he was unstoppable."

"Although the Strong Warriors are formidable, they can’t withstand the sheer numbers of the enemy!"

"The key issue is that now the Strong Warriors are engaged in close combat with the Ye family’s army, the Divine Archers can’t help without risking hitting their own men!"

Seeing this, the trialists couldn’t help but shake their heads. Waldo’s tactics were frankly poor.

...

Gu Yong and Gu Li watched the Strong Warriors being pushed back, feeling a surge of smugness. Waldo was a novice in leading an army. However, the next moment, their expressions suddenly changed.

"There’s something happening!"

They looked towards the rear, their faces turning pale.
