Chapter 24 - Slashing Thorats With A Sword! The Fierce Cat Girl!
After ten bandits were killed upon rushing into the castle, they finally sensed that something was wrong.
“Don’t charge!”
The bandits behind quickly retreated.
“Do you want to die? Why are you retreating?” Bandit leader Hani cursed.
“His arrows are too powerful; we can’t charge in,” Someone lamented.
“You useless lot, get the big shields!” The bandit leader shouted.
Immediately, two lackeys took down a wooden shield from a horse.
The bandit leader had two sturdy lackeys hold up the shield, saying, “Follow me!”
Clearly, he was prepared to lead the charge himself.
Meanwhile, outside, the territory’s army had finally arrived, charging alongside over a hundred workers holding hoes.
“Shoot them dead!”
Among the 30 people dispatched by the bandit leader, five had bows and arrows.
These five had quite the courage; they rushed to the front and started shooting wildly at the workers with hoes.
Immediately, several people were hit by arrows and wailed in pain on the ground.
The others were instantly scared stiff and didn’t dare to move forward.
“Don’t be afraid, they only have five bows!” Someone shouted.
But hardly any of the workers dared to step forward.
“Shields up, form a line, charge!”
However, the fifty or so soldiers in Richard’s army charged forward with shields.
Before they could reach the front, the bandit leader had already rushed into the castle.
The bandits’ so-called big shields were also made of wood, essentially thick wooden boards shaped like doors, almost as tall as a person!
However, the wooden planks they used were quite thick, about five centimeters thick! Such wooden planks were practically impenetrable to ordinary arrows!
Of course, such shields were quite heavy. But these “shields” were held by two people each, while the bandit leader followed behind these two.
They quickly passed through the doorway.
Swish!
As soon as they passed through the doorway, an arrow shot out and hit the wooden board.
The arrow had considerable force, embedding itself straight into the wooden board but was blocked from penetrating further.
“You’re as good as dead!”
Behind the wooden shield, the bandit leader uttered a cruel sound.
【It’s trouble!】
【Come on, hubby!】
【Streamer, you have to hold on. If you really crossed over and die, there won’t be any more streams to watch after this!】
【Young man, keep it up. I’m waiting for you to marry my daughter!】
【Let’s go!】
【…】
In the live stream, many people became nervous when they saw this scene.
Especially those who, after watching the previous battles, faintly felt that Richard might really have crossed over.
Swish!
Richard shot another arrow, but it was once again blocked by the wooden board.
At this time, the five members of the patrol squad hadn’t finished dealing with all the previously injured bandits and couldn’t help much.
These bandits were indeed quite fierce. Even if some of them were injured, the five members of the patrol squad couldn’t deal with them for a while.
These five guys were indeed lacking in combat experience.
At this moment, more bandits rushed in from behind. After following behind the large wooden board and crouching down, they overlapped their shields.
In a short period of time, several bandits who charged in like this had already formed, and their numbers continued to grow.
Obviously, they were planning to wait until their numbers increased before charging together. By then, even if Richard’s arrows were accurate, they would be useless.
These guys had quite a lot of combat experience, and it seemed they had done a lot of robbery in their time.
Swish!
Seeing that shooting the big wooden board was futile, Richard shot an arrow towards a smaller shield.
A crisp sound of a broken wooden board was heard, and his arrow directly pierced through the small shield. However, this bow and arrow were indeed not as powerful as a crossbow. After piercing through, the force diminished, only leaving a small hole in the shoulder of the bandit behind, which had no impact on his combat effectiveness.
More bandits rushed in, and the number of bandits in the small square exceeded ten!
【It’s over!】
【Call for air support!】
【Oh no, just now I thought the anchor really crossed over, ready to watch the anchor’s life in the other world every day, and now… the anchor is about to die?】
【I always feel that crossing over isn’t very realistic, but it looks very real. It’s contradictory. But in this situation, I think it’s better to act a little, otherwise the anchor will really die.】
【The anchor consumed too much stamina from running earlier, and pulling the bow also consumes a lot of energy. Faced with so many bandits, I think it’s precarious!】
In the broadcast room, many people who don’t usually chat started to speak up.
Everyone expressed concern for Richard’s situation.
In the castle, after the bandit leader rushed in with the big wooden board and Richard’s first three arrows were ineffective, the fourth arrow finally had an effect.
Because his fourth arrow shot through the gap between two small shields, hitting a bandit behind and causing him to scream in pain.
But at this time, behind the large wooden board, the number of charging bandits had reached over a dozen.
At this moment, the five members of the patrol squad had just finished dealing with all the previously injured bandits. However, seeing so many bandits coming in, they didn’t dare to step forward and could only stand in front of Richard.
“Charge together!”
Seeing so many bandits rushing in, the bandit leader shouted.
Suddenly, all the bandits charged towards Richard.
Seeing this, the five members of the patrol squad were frightened. One of them turned around and ran away, but the other four, although afraid, still firmly stood in front.
Seeing the situation, Richard directly threw away his arrows, took out a short sword and a shield.
In addition to basic archery, he also knew basic combat skills.
Although running and shooting arrows had consumed a lot of his stamina, he still had decent combat power.
Now that the reinforcements outside had arrived, it would be fine to hold on for a while longer.
However, before Richard could act, an agile figure suddenly rushed out from the side.
This figure was too fast. With just a flash, she had already rushed into the midst of the bandits. With a swing of her short sword, she cut the throat of one bandit.
After cutting the throat of that bandit, she didn’t hesitate at all. With incredibly agile movements, she swiftly passed by the side, and her short sword slashed towards another bandit.
The bandit hadn’t even reacted yet when he felt a sharp pain in his throat. Subconsciously, he reached out to touch it, only to feel blood on his hand.
“Ahh!”
It was only at this moment that the two bandits screamed out in pain. However, with their throats cut, their screams sounded hoarse, like leaky megaphones.
And just as their screams began, the agile figure swiftly cut the throats of two more bandits!
In the blink of an eye, four bandits had died by her hand, and at this moment, some bandits still hadn’t reacted.
In the broadcast room, everyone was completely stunned by this sudden turn of events.
【It’s…. the cat girl?】
Because the figure was too fast to see clearly, but these people caught sight of a small tail, and they were instantly shocked.
The cat girl had such combat power?
