Chapter 592: 595. Instant Kill!
The first echelon, though ant to spearhead breakthroughs, was filled with at least four-fifths ard refugees due to a lack of manpower.
The role of battlefield experience was starkly apparent at this mont.
The veterans dragged and tugged, lifting each bewildered ard refugee’s shield.
The sharp cries of "Raise your shields! Raise your shields!" rang incessantly.
Ordinary people are quite insensitive to the subtle sounds of incoming arrows.
They might only feel a breeze when an arrow pierces their body.
However, the veterans’ hours of training had so effect after all.
The majority managed to keep their shields over their heads, while those without shields curled up and huddled together with others.
After a mont passed, the ordinary people finally heard the pattering sound like small raindrops hitting.
Various arrows from long shaft crossbows, short shaft hand crossbows, and bows thudded into the shields.
This loud noise ca only from arrows striking hard objects.
When arrows buried into the ground, it was as silent as tossing a pebble into the soil.
Yet not everyone had a shield, and not everyone in panic obeyed orders.
Geralt and Ged, trying to conserve their valuable magic power, were beneath their shields and couldn’t see anything.
Lann’s Quen Rune was transparent.
He saw a dazed ard refugee nearby who thought the arrow rain had stopped as his shield no longer impacted, tentatively poking his head out.
But at his feet, arrows continued to fly from above, sticking into the ground.
The next mont, an arrow with black tail feathers pierced into his face, through the cheekbone, and into his brain.
As he fell, he staggered backward several steps.
Screams began to erupt in succession.
The veterans could only continuously shout under their shields, "Raise your shields!
