68: Chapter 68: Bravely Capturing Linked Ring Fort 68: Chapter 68: Bravely Capturing Linked Ring Fort Looking at the archer, Zhu Fen exclaimed angrily, “Who is this person?

How can he possess such exquisite archery skills?”

An officer beside him said, “It should be Zhang Yu, the Second Master of Linked Ring Fort.

Born with exceptional strength in his arms, he has been practicing archery since childhood.

After mastering the heritage, his archery has become even more formidable.”

From the watchtower, Zhang Yu laughed loudly and shouted, “A bunch of useless creatures dare to storm our Linked Ring Fort?

Listen up, if anyone else dares to show their face, don’t blame me for gifting them an arrow.”

Seeing his own side’s morale severely hampered by Zhang Yu, the officer quickly suggested to Zhu Fen, “General, although the mountain path is not accessible for a large army, neither can they station many people on that watchtower.”

“With the General’s skills, if you are willing to lead a team of elite armored troops into battle, you can definitely take down that stronghold.”

He looked at Zhu Fen expectantly, hoping this expert, who had mastered the heritage, could lead the elite troops into battle and boost the soldiers’ morale.

But hearing his subordinate’s suggestion, Zhu Fen frowned.

He considered himself of precious status and naturally did not want to rush to the front in such a dangerous position, especially when the enemy had a master archer.

“If I myself must act, what use do I have for you?”

Therefore, under Zhu Fen’s command, the soldiers had to charge again.

However, the terrain of the Linked Ring Fort was too treacherous, and the soldiers could not capitalize on their numerical advantage.

Zhang Yu, standing on the watchtower, overlooked the entire battlefield, single-handedly suppressing the whole scene with his bow.

As the sound of his bow continuously reaped lives, the Linked Ring Fort remained untouched, and the soldiers’ morale gradually collapsed.

In the end, no matter how much Zhu Fen urged, the soldiers were unwilling to charge forward.

When Lin Xing arrived at the battlefield in his carriage, what he saw was this stalemate.

“Is there a master archer?” Lin Xing, looking at the steep terrain of Linked Ring Fort and feeling frustrated by the slow progress in his Object Manipulation Skill, couldn’t help but laugh, “Let me give it a try.”

Zhu Fen looked at Lin Xing in surprise, “You want to try?”

Lin Xing thought back to the last time he had charged towards the bandits at Wolong Mountain, only to be saved by his own people in the end.

He quickly instructed, “I can go alone, please don’t send troops to follow me.”

Hearing this, Zhu Fen became even more puzzled, looking at Lin Xing as if he were a fool.

Then he saw Lin Xing standing in front of the two armies, motionless, looking towards Linked Ring Fort.

Moments later, a hint of exhaustion appeared in Lin Xing’s eyes, as if he had experienced countless life and death battles.

Object Manipulation Skill (Level 1 51.3%) → Object Manipulation Skill (Level 1 77.6%)

Then, as Lin Xing uttered an incantation, a ruler from his backpack soared into the air, dancing around him like a swimming fish.

Under the enhancement of Level 1 Object Manipulation Skill, Lin Xing felt as if the ruler had become an extension of his arm, greatly increasing his reaction speed, speed, and agility.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu on the watchtower had already drawn his bow and aimed at Lin Xing, sneering, “Another one seeking death.”

Watching Lin Xing take a step, he slowly walked towards the fort gate.

Watching Lin Xing step by step, a flash of anger crossed Zhang Yu’s face, seeing it as a clear provocation.

With a tremble of his longbow in his hand, the arrow whistled as it sliced through the air.

Zhang Yu was surprised by what happened next, almost at the moment he released the bowstring, the opponent dodged to the side as if foreseeing the arrow.

A flicker of surprise crossed Zhang Yu’s eyes, but he quickly nocked another arrow and aimed at Lin Xing again.

This time he exerted all his strength, drawing the bow fully, and the arrow whistled through the air with the sound of thunder…

but again, Lin Xing dodged it in advance.

“How is that possible?”

Zhang Yu, refusing to believe it, aimed at Lin Xing once more.

Meanwhile, Lin Xing slowly walked towards the direction of the fort, recalling the next arrow’s trajectory in his mind.

“The best results still come from walking slowly; the position and direction of the arrows are easier to memorize.”

Images of his own repeated deaths by arrows surfaced in Lin Xing’s mind, a silent thought crossing his mind: “If I keep charging forward, I can never clearly remember the location of each arrow, making it difficult to replicate.”

Dodging another incoming arrow in advance, Lin Xing thought, “Next, it must be a rain of arrows, right?”

On the other side, Zhu Fen and his soldiers were equally shocked to watch Lin Xing stroll through the battlefield, dodging three arrows in succession in such a laid-back manner.

Because Zhu Fen had been suppressing insurgents with his troops recently, this was their first time witnessing Lin Xing’s performance on the battlefield.

At the same time, Zhang Yu’s hands moved like phantoms, drawing and releasing waves of arrows, four to five at a time, like relentless rains toward Lin Xing.

As Lin Xing drew closer to the watchtower, several villagers also pulled out their bows and aimed at Lin Xing.

An officer stared in amazement as Lin Xing walked through the arrow rain: “Such skill and bravery, truly remarkable.”

Another officer, swallowing hard and watching Lin Xing inch closer to the fort wall, couldn’t help but say, “Dodging every arrow so tightly, what courage, speed, and reflexes.”

Seeing Lin Xing actually catch and throw an arrow to the ground amidst the arrow rain, an officer beside Zhu Fen couldn’t help but praise, “I had heard that Mr.

Lin is incredibly brave, having once charged into the enemy’s formation alone to capture their leader.

I used to think it was an exaggeration, but now I see what it means to be the bravest of all.”

Hearing his officers’ excitement and admiration, Zhu Fen’s expression grew darker and darker.

An officer suggested, “General, since Mr.

Lin has now opened up the situation, we should send troops to support him.”

Looking at his subordinates’ expectant eyes, Zhu Fen coldly said, “Didn’t you hear what Lin Xing said before he left?

Absolutely do not send troops to follow him.”

The officer urged, “General, this is a situation Mr.

Lin has opened up at the risk of his life; we shouldn’t act on impulse.”

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Lin Xing had dodged several more waves of arrows and was getting ever closer to the direction of the fort wall.

He was no longer just dodging; he used a ruler flying by his side to block some of the more difficult arrows.

In the watchtower, Zhang Yu, watching this opponent whom he had not managed to hit even once from the start, grew increasingly anxious and uneasy.

In the next moment, he saw Lin Xing casually spill a can of oil, then cast the Spirit Fire Spell.

A fiery dragon soared into the sky, circling before crashing into the gate.

A violent wind then arose, wildly spreading the flames.

Watching the fort burst into fierce flames, Zhang Yu’s heart sank, realizing the great situation was lost.

Seeing Lin Xing manipulate the wind and fire, he understood that as long as this master was in presence, he stood no chance of defending Linked Ring Fort.

Zhang Yu thought of the elderly, women, and children left in the fort, his heart filled with hesitation.
