Chapter 696: Ending the Offensive (Part 1)

The morale of the Hilan crossbowmen on the earth mound in the first war zone collapsed. As long as they heard the sound of breaking wind, they felt their scalps tingling. They hid behind the bunkers and carefully extended their crossbows behind the bunkers. After shooting the arrows, they quickly retracted their hands that were stretched out of the bunkers.

Because they didn't dare to stay outside the bunkers for too long, no one was aiming properly.

The rain of arrows shot from these earth mounds was much sparser and the accuracy was much worse.

The pressure brought by the Hilan crossbowmen on the earth mounds to the defenders of the Michael Knights in the first war zone was naturally greatly reduced.

Looking at the battle situation in front of him, Raymond couldn't help but smile.

"Miss Alan! Look! The enemy crossbowmen on the earth mound dare not leave the bunkers!"

"Well, I saw it. My efforts are not in vain."

After that, Alan put down the bow in his hand with a wry smile and kneaded his sore right arm.

"Miss Alan, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just tired. After all, I am also a human being. If I am a human being, I will get tired. I just need to rest for a while."

Bow and arrows have always been weapons that only strong men can use.

All the archers in various countries are big men.

Even in the Britannia Empire, which allows women to join the army, the archer unit has the least number of women.

An ordinary person may find it difficult to draw even the most ordinary bow.

The bow that Alan just used is a powerful bow that even well-trained archers may not be able to draw.

In the suppression of the Xilan army archers on the mound just now, Alan drew this powerful bow more than 50 times and killed more than 50 Xilan army archers.

Drawing this powerful bow more than 50 times - even Alan can't bear this consumption. His right arm that draws the string is so sore that he can no longer draw this powerful bow.

Seeing that Alan was no longer able to draw the bow, Raymond planned to escort Alan to the inner city wall and to Su Cheng's side, so that Alan could rest in a safe place.

Alan did not refuse Raymond's escort, and obediently let Raymond lead the way and escort her to Su Cheng.

…

…

Avalon Fortress, on the inner city wall.

Su Cheng looked at Alan standing in front of him with a complicated expression.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to scold her or praise her.

Alan went to the front line of the city wall without his permission - from this point of view, Su Cheng should have scolded Alan and then driven Alan back to the safe area behind.

But after Alan secretly climbed the city wall, she used her superb archery skills to suppress the mound that caused them a lot of trouble - from this point of view,

Su Cheng should reward her well.

While Su Cheng was hesitating whether to scold her or praise her, Alan said:

"Brother! I want to help - I'm not kidding! I'm serious! And I'm capable of helping, right? If you don't believe me, ask Uncle Raymond!"

After that, Alan turned his gaze to Raymond beside him.

And Raymond also spoke for Alan at this time:

"Your Excellency, Miss Alan did a lot of work in the first war zone just now. Miss Alan suppressed the Xilan army crossbowmen on the mound with her own strength, greatly relieving the pressure on the first war zone."

"Miss Alan climbed the city wall without permission, which is indeed wrong, but please, Your Excellency, for Miss Alan's contribution, punish her lightly."

Seeing that his beloved general Raymond was speaking for Alan, Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

Turning his head, he looked at Alan:

"Forget it, since you have made great contributions, let's say your merits and demerits are equal. I won't pursue the fact that you climbed the city wall without my permission."

"You just said you wanted to help, is that true?"

"It's true!" Alan said seriously.

"Well." Su Cheng sighed helplessly, "Since you insist on helping, I'll give you a chance to help."

"The only place where we need your help now is to suppress those Xilan crossbowmen on the mound."

"I will assign a team to protect you and pass you arrows. You stay on the inner city wall and shoot down all the Xilan crossbowmen hiding on the mound."

"That's your only task. It's easy, right? Can you do it?"

"Of course I can!"

Alan rolled his eyes at Su Cheng unhappily, and then gave Su Cheng a not-so-standard Britannian military salute.

…

…

To accurately shoot the Xilan crossbowmen on the mound at such a long distance, you must use the powerful bow that Alan just used.

This powerful bow must have strong arm strength.

Even a physical monster like Alan cannot pull this bow to the full limit indefinitely.

When suppressing the mound on the side of the first war zone just now, Alan paid attention to his own limit.

After Alan's attention and calculation, using this powerful bow, Alan can only pull it to the full limit 55 times at most.

After pulling it to the full limit 55 times, Alan did not have the strength to pull it to the full limit for the 56th time.

However, even if he had to rest for a period of time after using this powerful bow for 55 times, Alan successfully brought an indelible psychological shadow to the Xilan crossbowmen on the mound.

After allowing Alan to join the battle, Su Cheng also kept his promise and transferred a team to protect Alan and help Alan pass arrows, take quivers, and replace bowstrings that might break.

Alan led the team to walk around on the inner city wall and wander around in various battle zones.

Because unlike staying on the outer city wall just now, Alan is now on the inner city wall farther away from these earth mounds.

Because the distance has become farther, Alan's accuracy has also decreased a little.

But it only went from ten out of ten to eight out of ten.

Such a hit rate is enough to make the Xilan army archers on the earth mounds numb and bring them psychological trauma.

Wherever Alan goes to the battle zone, the Xilan army archers on the earth mounds in that battle zone will suffer.

As long as the body is slightly exposed outside the cover, it is very likely to be shot.

Gradually, under Alan's wandering, the morale of the Xilan army archers on the earth mounds in various battle zones plummeted.

If it weren't for the order to "suppress the defenders on the city wall", no one would be willing to leave the bunker.

They trembled out of the bunker, shot an arrow without even aiming, and then immediately retracted into the bunker.

Because they were too afraid of being killed by this unknown archer who didn't even know where he was, the crossbowmen of the Hilan Army in the bunker were all like turtles, not daring to leave the bunker, and shot an arrow without even aiming, and then immediately retracted the body parts that were stretched out of the bunker.

Because they didn't dare to leave the bunker and aim seriously, the pressure on the defenders of the Michael Knights on the city wall was greatly reduced.

Alan, relying on his own strength, eliminated the slight advantage that the Hilan Army had finally gained with these mounds.
