Chapter 982 The Terrifying Weapon of the Outer Demons!

Balgruuf, who was contemplating in the team, was also taken aback by the sudden sound of gunfire, and he searched for the enemy's trail in a conditioned reflex in order to carry out an effective counterattack.

It's a pity that there are no suspicious traces around, and I don't know where the sneak attacker just now hid?

Damn scouts, they didn't find any trace of the enemy, they should be punished!

"Stop moving forward, stay alert!"

Following Balgruuf's order, the originally marching team immediately turned to face both sides of the road, and arranged the shields in their hands to form a shield wall.

The soldiers behind also quickly moved forward, and placed another shield on the existing shield wall, thus forming a simple defensive position that could withstand the rain of arrows.

The warriors protected by the shield wall, except for a part of the spears, are all half-squatting on the ground, their swords are unsheathed, and the whole body is tensely watching the surrounding situation.

Archers and crossbowmen are ready and ready to fight back effectively in the event of an ambush.

"Let's go ahead and take a look!"

Under the protection of a group of guards, Balgruuf jumped off his horse and walked to the front of the team, and soon saw the dozen or so soldiers with wounded legs.

They were all lying within the boundaries of the stone tablet, with painful expressions on their faces, and some people were desperately crawling towards the direction of the team.

Seeing this, the two soldiers rushed over and tried to help their companions up.

But just after the two soldiers crossed the boundary of the stone monument, there were two crisp sounds, and then two blood flowers burst out on the thighs of the two soldiers, screaming and falling to the ground!

After seeing this scene, Balgruuf's eyes shrank slightly, hiding behind the shield wall composed of guards, and staring at the woods ahead.

Although the attack speed just now was extremely fast, he could vaguely see a trace, and also confirmed that the sneak attacker was hiding in the woods ahead.

The intention of the other party is very obvious. Just like what is written on the stone tablet, it is strictly forbidden for any outsider to enter, otherwise it will be severely punished!

Obviously, these dozen soldiers were attacked because they violated the warning on the stone tablet and crossed the boundary.

There was no direct shooting, obviously there was an element of warning.

This kind of strange and fierce weapon made Balgruuf think of the content mentioned in the previous intelligence, which made him feel apprehensive.

But in this case, Balgruuf must not show weakness, otherwise the military will be frustrated, it is better to just go home.

What's more, he has a reason to get rid of the outer demons, no matter what the opponent's strength is, he must give it a try!

"You guys are wearing shields, go ahead!"

Out of an abundance of caution, Balgruuf did not order a forcible advance, but ordered the soldiers to try again.

The soldiers who were named looked at each other. Although there was a hint of fear in their eyes, they immediately raised their shields covered with animal skins, covered their bodies as much as possible, and moved forward cautiously.

These soldiers did not dare to resist Balgruuf's orders, so they could only bite the bullet and move forward.

However, when their bodies crossed the invisible boundary, the expected gunshot sounded again, and then, under the gaze of everyone, the hardwood shield, which was strong enough to withstand heavy arrows, was directly smashed to smithereens.

The soldiers hiding behind the shield were not so lucky this time. Because of the lowered body, their heads and chests became the target of the attack. After the bullet penetrated the shield, they penetrated their bodies.

After a large amount of blood was sprayed on their backs and heads, terrifying blood holes appeared behind the bodies of these soldiers, and the bodies collapsed softly to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of Snowman City immediately became commotion, while Balgruuf's expression changed.

The power of the weapons of the outer demons is so powerful!

When he thought that he was being exposed to the range of this terrifying weapon, Balgruuf felt a shudder in his heart, glanced at the shields held high by the guards around him, and seemed to feel unsafe.

"The whole army obeys the order and retreats two hundred meters."

The order was issued, and the team immediately shrank backwards like flowing water.

After the team stopped, Balgruuf took a few steps back subconsciously, letting himself hide behind the crowd as much as possible.

Immediately following his order, a group of soldiers held up their shields, forming a semicircular shield wall in front of him again.

Balgruuf felt a little relieved, and at the same time issued orders one after another.

More than a dozen cultivators who were good at using bows and arrows were quickly mobilized to stick out sharp conical arrows through the gaps in the shields.

In the sunlight, these conical arrows flickered faintly, clearly enchanted weapons.

"You guys, put on a metal shield for me and try again!"

Balgruuf wanted to find out how powerful this weapon was, so as not to be caught off guard once the battle started.

However, from the current situation, the lethality of this weapon is extremely strong, and it is enough to cause a fatal threat to ordinary soldiers.

Ordinary hardwood shields, as well as the leather armor worn by soldiers, can't resist the attack of this weapon at all!

If there are a large number of similar weapons in the hands of the outer demons, then once this battle occurs, the soldiers of Balgruuf will inevitably suffer extremely heavy casualties!

Balgruuf didn't want to see this result.

The few soldiers who were named were already holding their metal shields tremblingly at the moment, and under the gaze of a pair of eyes behind them, they slowly moved forward.

Most of the soldiers who were shot in the legs have already crawled back, and only a few were still lying in a pool of blood. They seemed to have passed out due to excessive bleeding.

The bodies of the soldiers who were shot were also lying on the grass soaked in blood, staring at them with absent-minded eyes.

The legs of several soldiers were trembling in fear, but they did not dare to retreat at all, because some of those sharp arrows also aimed at their backs.

Disobeying orders and retreating will definitely kill you, but moving forward may save your life. After all, they are holding metal shields, and they should be able to resist that kind of strange weapon attacks!

Thinking like this, their confidence also increased a bit, and they finally stepped into the land behind the stone tablet.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were wide open, and they stared intently at several soldiers.

"boom!"

The frightening voice came out again, but this time it was much duller than the first two times.

At the same time, there was the sound of the metal shield being hit hard. At the same time, the bodies of the soldiers froze, and suddenly a large cloud of blood mixed with flesh and bones was sprayed out, completely blocking everyone's sight.

Facts have proved that even a metal shield can't resist the attack of this strange weapon!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

At the same time as these pathfinder soldiers were hit, a dozen or so enchanted arrows flew out with a sound of breaking the air, heading straight for the dense forest.

The flying distance of this enchanted arrow is extremely long, and its penetrating power is extremely amazing. Under the operation of the indigenous monks, it can also shoot through metal shields!

The only regret is that the cost of this weapon is too high, only those indigenous monks can afford it!

Those indigenous monks who were already ready to go, had already locked the position of the sound at the moment when the gunshot sounded just now, and launched the attack without hesitation.

"Continue to shoot at me, suppress the opponent's attack, you rush to me, be sure to get the opponent's weapon!"

Shock and greed flashed in Balgruuf's eyes, and he already had a coveted heart for this kind of sharp weapon.

If he can obtain this kind of weapon and manufacture equipment in large quantities, he will not be afraid even if the coalition formed by other forces arrives!

Even relying on this weapon, he can conquer the surrounding provinces, and even the entire Tamriel continent, it is not impossible!

At that time, he will be the king of the entire continent, and everyone will submit to his rule.

So even if he pays some casualties, he must get this weapon!
