Abe the Wizard - Chapter 591

Chapter 591: 3 Kills with 1 Shot

K3308 had never expected his portal bag to be only one-hundredth of the size of a priest’s Kong Kong Spirit Portal bag. If he knew this before, he might have fainted from jealousy.

“K3516, is this crossbow a hassle?” K3305 asked gently.

The dwarfs’ crossbows were military grade weapons, especially after Abel had killed 2 elite wizards using it. By that point, crossbows had become the most important military resource. Their value had shot up a few times.

Every crossbow was tightly regulated by the dwarfs. Any unauthorized movement would be recorded and punished. A crossbow could only be used for a City’s defense. This rule was set by the dwarfs with every purchase.

“Nope, I’ve bought it long ago, so it is not regulated!” Abel explained with a smile.

The dwarfs’ regulation was almost non-existent to him. If Abel didn’t promise the dwarfs to keep those burst crossbows a secret, he would take them out as well. Those things could automatically install arrows; it was way too convenient.

Elite warriors Joey and Basil exchanged gaze, and both of them immediately knew each other’s intentions. They should be the ones to operate this crossbow. As a professional archer, this crossbow would definitely be a lot more powerful in their hands than a wizard.

However, their status was way too low compared to those 3 wizards. They did not have any right to raise this request. They might end up waiting until the battle was over, so the wizards realize their lack of archery skills.

Abel turned the base and pulled open the crossbow. He installed an armor piercing arrow on to it. By that point, the 100 orcs formation was only 500 meters from them.

Abel gently turned the knob, and a giant bang erupted from the crossbow. Under his gaze, the armor piercing arrow flew towards the orcs in a slim straight curve.

Those 100 orcs began to feel excited when they noticed only 2 Head Commanders rising their defense on a massive rock. This meant they were about to face a weak team of enemies.

If there were intermediate wizards lurking within them, then they would be in for a full on guerrilla style battle. No one in their team could stop an intermediate with a full tank of mana.

The orcs had fought against humans for countless years, so both parties knew each other quite well. Looking at the current situation with only 2 head commanders, the human had most likely just sent out 4 beginner wizards at most.

Unlike humans, the orcs did not have the Miracle Spirit to calculate war glory for them. They had to bring the human skulls back for the specialized priests to examine their identity and give our war glory accordingly.

Today was a rare opportunity for the orcs. As long as they could capture those head Commander and beginner wizards alive, the priests would definitely repay them with quite a lot of war glory.

Head commanders were the deities’ favorite for skeleton making material, and beginner wizards were their favorite skulls for shaman making material.

The orcs were very confident in themselves since they had 6 bearmans, the most powerful defense weapon of the orc empire.

At the moment, all the orcs were drooling over their war glory as of the charge towards this little team of humans. Their formation was disrupted, but none of those orcs care too much. Those humans were way too weak.

It was at this moment, Abel’s armor piercing arrow shot out from the rock and towards a bearman with grey bears below it. That bearman did not expect a crossbow to appear in a battle like this.

Since the bearman needed to control the grey bears, it only had its battle ax on its right hand and its shield on its back.

It was already too late when it noticed the armor piercing arrow was flying at it. Although bearmans were also naturally very alert to threats like other orcs, that armor piercing arrows was way too fast. Without its massive shield, it could only use its battle ax to block.

Bearmans were not known for their speed, but even a speedy orc, like wolf riders, might not be able to stop a flying armor piercing arrow.

The arrow directly entered its chest and split its heart into two. Although there was a wolf rider behind that bearman, it could not stop this massive blow.

It penetrated that wolf rider as well and landed on a giant tree behind the 100 orcs.

Almost immediately, the bearman began to get weak. Its massive body was dragged by the grey bears, leaving a trail of blood on the ground. With its heart split into two, all of its blood was drained.

It was not a good day for the 2 wolf riders at the back. With the massive body of that bearman blocking their view, they would never know what had killed them.

Bearmans claimed to be as powerful as head commander, but their bodies were still different at the end of the day. A bearman did not have a powerful combat qi core, so there was no combat qi smoke when they died.

This inability to develop a combat qi core was a weakness. They were blessed with an incredibly powerful body, but it also limited them from developing it through training like the other races.

Upon seeing the damage, the wolf rider soon realized what weapons the human had. They yelled and quickly dodge, “Dodge! they have a crossbow!”

The 5 leftover bearman quickly took out their giant shields and backed away from the crossbow’s range with its grey bears.

Head Commander Bodley and Head Commander Markham were stunned by what they just saw. He had nothing prepared, so they quickly looked by at the giant rock behind them. It was a giant crossbow.

No need to explain; both of them knew this was definitely the good work of that mysterious wizard k3516. Even a wizard like k3308 could not move a military grade weapon like a crossbow. A thing like this would need a massive portal object.

“This is amazing. 3 down in one strike!” k3308 gasped.

At that moment, Abel had already pulled on the cross bow and installed another Armour piercing arrow. On to it. It was ready to fire again.

He was extremely irritated by the crossbow’s speed. It had to be pulled on and installed with every shot. That was a huge waste of time.

But still, he could probably add another shot before the orcs retreated.

Joey and Basil exchanged a bitter gaze. It was such a good decision not to raise their request. Even a professional crossbow shooter might not be able to unleash a shot like this, let alone archers like them.

3 killed in 1 strike from 500meters. The 2 elite warriors knew how hard this was a lot more than both k3305 and k3308.

The 100 orcs retreated beyond the range of the crossbow. Every orc who fought against humans would know the range of a crossbow, so by the time Abel had installed the second armor piercing arrow, they could no longer threaten the orcs.

The orcs restructured their formation. They had the bearmans, so they were not totally hopeless against a crossbow. Normally an arrow could not penetrate their giant shields, so if they should be fine if they take turns to defend.

Since the crossbow was operated by 3 wizards and 2 professional archers, those 2 head commanders did not rush out to risk their lives with the orcs as well.

The orcs began to attack again after they restructured their team. They just could not let those humans go free, no matter if it was for war glory, revenge, or keeping their goal a secret. Humans and orcs had been enemies for centuries at the end of the day,

3 bearman stepped forward with their giant shields guarding the 100 orcs forward. 2 bearman stayed behind and ready to change spot at any moment

The wolf riders followed. As soon as they could get close to the rock, that crossbow would no longer be a threat. By that point, their powerful close body attacks would show its true strength. Those wizards could not go anywhere as soon as their defense was broken.

Although a beginner wizard’s spell could be very powerful, the orcs knew their weakness was their magic stores. With 100 orcs, they could demolish those wizards just by stepping over them.

“K3516, can arrows penetrate the giant shield of bearman?” K3308 asked, looking at the oncoming orcs. By that point, k3308 had gained immense trust in Abel.
