Volume 6 Chapter 50 - Why will they lose? (1/2)

The Candra Empire’s prestige was in danger, but general McHale didn’t have time to think about this. He only knew that he was currently in danger at this moment.

There were countless arrows flying over him, so dense that it made people think that it was a storm.

But this “storm” had a very strong threat of death.

As general McHale watched this “storm” fall and his soldiers being harvested like wheat, it was the first time he felt a bit of panic in his heart.

Just what was going on!

The Rudson Kingdom fellows, how could they have such power?

“Sir, be careful!”

His guard beside him shouted as he came forward with a shield, blocking for the two of them.

“Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.”

The sounds of the arrows hitting the shields rang out and the guard couldn’t help taking a few steps back, only barely being able to stop in front of general McHale.

“Sir, are you alright?” The guard turned to ask general McHale.

“I’m fine.” General McHale shook his head. He looked at the shield in the guard’s hands and his eyes couldn’t help shrinking.

This shield was made by the most renowned blacksmith in Wimbledon City, it was built with the strongest iron and even the thinnest part was as thick as a palm. However, now there were several dents where the crossbow bolts had hit them, almost looking like it would have been penetrated.

It could be seen that not only were these crossbow bolts strong, they had a strong lethality to them.

Even this giant shield that had been carefully made couldn’t stop it. It’s no wonder the thick armour that his subordinates wore was like paper, not being able to protect them at all.

Turning to look at the countless soldiers on the ground, general McHale felt a bit of hesitation.

If this continued, he didn’t see any hope of winning this battle.

But if he were to retreat, wouldn’t that be slapping his own face?

Since he took over the Rudson Kingdom subjugation army from general Cook, general McHale had only rested for less than a week before attacking the Rudson Kingdom for several days now.

This time, he had sent out thirty thousand out of the fifty thousand people he had brought, planning to beat the Rudson Kingdom in a single head on class and raise their prestige with this.

But he never would have thought that the power of the Rudson Kingdom army would be this terrifying. When the two armies clashed, there was this rain of arrows that had just fallen down. In just a single attack, the Candra Empire had lost at least 10% of their soldiers.

What shocked general McHale even more was that it seemed like the Rudson Kingdom’s bolts never seemed to run out. It hadn’t stopped from beginning to end.

Under this terrifying rain of arrows, the Candra Empire soldiers were unable to advance at all and could only passively take this attack as their casualty numbers rose.

General McHale saw the situation was bad and wanted to send cavalry to flank from the sides, but he never thought that as soon as he sent these two cavalry units, the Rudson Kingdom would deal with them.

The Rudson Kingdom had sent out two squads of several strange looking Magic Cars to intercept these cavalry units. Their mobility far surpassed the cavalry under general McHale and no matter how the cavalry units maneuvered, they were easily stopped.

Other than having this terrifying crossbow, there was also a weapon that had a powerful offense that general McHale had never heard of before.

These two cavalry units couldn’t even reach the other side before they were easily defeated. There were less than a hundred people who had escaped, forcing general McHale to give up his idea of using an ambush.

So with the current situation of the battlefield, the Candra Empire could only passively take their attacks and couldn’t fight back at all.

When general McHale was hesitating, he found that there were several dozen red glows that came from the Rudson Kingdom’s army. After a while, they turned into several dozen fireballs that quickly flew at them.

“Sir, be careful!”

The guards beside him had just seen the terrifying might of these fireballs. Without another word, general McHale had been knocked down and the guards came in front of him, blocking him off.

“Hong, hong, hong, hong.”

With countless powerful explosions, the ground under general McHale had strong vibrations running through them. The powerful sounds of the explosions also temporarily deafened his ears.

When everything calmed down, general McHale pushed the guard on him off and stood up to take a look before his heart was instantly filled with shock.
