Chapter 16: The Rich and Wayward Mage (Free Chapter 4)

Myron's equipment composition is quite interesting, he brought 30 shield wall soldiers, and the rest were all long knife soldiers. The shield men were armed only with spears, while the swordsmen were equipped with round shields and hands/crossbows, and the command was carried out by Myron himself.

Seeing the equipment of both sides, Olivia couldn't help but smile slightly. I have to say that the ratio of this equipment is a bit bullying.

In everyone's expectation, the showdown between the two sides has officially begun. No matter who the elves fight against, their starting point must be to shoot arrows first. The elven magic arrows are very powerful, at least in the general sense, shields can't stop them. Fortunately, Myron's shield wall is not ordinary, these tower shields are so large and thick that the soldiers can't hold them on the ground, so they can only push them by carts. This kind of shield wants to defend against bows and arrows, so naturally it is not a problem.

The elves had a fast rate of fire, so fast that the Terrans had just organized the first wave of long-range attacks, and they had already completed the first salvo. "Good!" Seeing the overall quality of his own people crushing the aliens, Elder Donald shouted hello. However, this fierce attack did not cause any casualties to the Terran warriors - with the clanging of the impact, all the arrows were blocked from the shield wall.

Myron seemed to have expected this, and after calmly organizing the soldiers to block the first wave of arrows, he ordered the soldiers in the front row to return fire with their hands/crossbows through the gaps in the shield wall. Unlike the elves, although there were only about thirty crossbow arrows to fight back, a few elves were hit by arrows because they couldn't dodge. This was a real casualty, and the first wave of offensive on both sides was decided. There is no way, at a distance of only 100 meters, even agile elves can hardly dodge the direct shot of crossbow arrows.
