1008 A Massive Explosion 3

"It has all been calculated. The locations of the Fu Xiang sorcerers and archers, as well as their attacking range, have been recorded. We can begin the battle any time now." The devil-masked men immediately handed over a scroll to Duanmu Hongru, which contained careful records of the location and maximum range of attack of every single Fu Xiang sorcerer and archer.

Duanmu Hongru scanned through the scroll and nodded in satisfaction.

These people were part of the elite team which Chi Tong had brought over from the Kingdom of Sa Er. They each possessed extensive battle experience. Although already retired, they still held formidable skills which any general could only hope to attain.

"Good, it's time to let that bunch of country bumpkins from Fu Xiang witness our genuine power!" Duanmu Hongru smirked. He ordered all their sorcerers and archers to their respective spots and launched their counterattack.

Shi Dakai's side were still reeling from the loss of their horsemen. Meanwhile, black figures had appeared at various locations across the two mountains flanking the Free Valley.

Groups of three to five people had chanted long, complicated spells under the cover of the dense forest and the sounds of explosions.

In the blink of an eye…

Powerful streaks of sorcery power rained down at the Fu Xiang army. They aimed directly every strike at the vulnerable Fu Xiang sorcerers!

The sudden attack had Shi Dakai in a fluster. But he immediately calmed himself down and pinpointed the direction from which they launched the attacks. He then ordered his troops to counterattack.

However…

A tragic situation surfaced at this instant.

When Shi Dakai's sorcerers launched their counterattack, they discovered that their sorcery completely could not reach their enemies. Even with their best efforts, their sorcery strikes would land two to three meters short of their targets.

And this mere two to three meters turned into an unobtainable divide!

"What's happening?!" As composed as Shi Dakai tried to be, he still lost a modicum of calm. He watched as countless arrows and sorcery strikes pummeled his army, each of them targeting his vulnerable archers and sorcerers. Meanwhile, all the efforts poured in by his side failed to cause the least bit of damage to their enemies!

"General! Our sorcerers' attack range does not extend that far. We cannot reach them." The deputy general was in a panic.

They were up against only over a thousand men, but had lost over 10,000 of their own sorcerers and archers in just a brief period. And they were helpless.

Shi Dakai was utterly shocked. He suddenly realized his oversight.

Although wind and gravity only had a small impact, it managed to narrow the hundred-meter range of attack by about two to three meters.

And it was this two to three meters in difference which reversed the situation. Their opponents could strike them with no risk to themselves!

Shi Dakai's face was beyond grim. He had already realized the difference caused by the topography, but he had no solution to the problem. Their opponent must have already calculated everything thoroughly before launching their sudden attack.
