Chapter 168: Fighting in the Siege

Below the city walls, hidden beneath the protective mound, more Steppe warriors waited with bated breath, ready to storm the city gates as soon as the opportunity presented itself.

Aeryon elite warriors, clad in steel armor, led the way, their heavy armor protection allowing them to withstand the relentless barrage of arrows and stones.

The battle raged on with unrelenting ferocity, each moment a struggle for survival.

Looking at the battle Aeryon sighed to himself.

"I need more armours" he thought to himself. He remembers he also have meteorite iron in storage.

If he could use that iron to create armor, then he would have an elite unit that could easily pierce through any formation

Aeryon could see that in this world, if he had heavy armor, it is basically like an invincibility charm.

The reason why the Yan could easily slaughter the grassland people is nothing more than the fact that they have heavy armor and they have a unit of people who wears heavy armor to kill the people of the grassland.

"If I have such a unit, they would not fear this rain of arrows"

But creating such a unit is clearly not something he could do now and it is pointless of thinking of such thing right now.

He is just thinking of the improvement he could do later.

He knew that thinking too far ahead could be a distraction, so he set aside thoughts of creating that elite unit for the time being

Then he focused his attention right back at the battle that is now raging even more fiercely

Right now, even though he is seeing the death of many people, his heart is cold. This is different than the battle he had before. There was never a sieging battle.

On the other side of the city, the other chief probably also would have difficulties to try to take down the city gate

Aeryon then call the messenger

"Prepare the battering rams. It is time"

The messenger quickly rides his horses to inform the captains in charge of the battering rams.

Aeryon smiles a bit looking at the progress of the battle.

"It is moving forward" And he chuckles a bit

"I could feel it" Before the battle begins, Aeryon had used all of his class ability card. At the same time, the system inform him of a different feature. He could combine his class ability card to get a high-level skill.

What he got is Battle Smell. The skill basically is him becoming more adept at battle and able to predict and analyse the enemy.

But Aeryon felt like this skill is not that useful.

As long as he improve his stats, there is nothing that he would worry about so instead of relying on this skill, Aeryon decided to use the other two skill cards to improve this skill.

He added the two-skill card to Battle Smell and what he got in exchange, is Military Sense.

He never got to use it before but now as he watch the battle, sitting on his horse, it felt like he could sense where is the gap and where is the right time to use a certain attack or uses a certain method of strategies.

It is not like the system told him how to win, it is just like an instant.

He could see that some parts of the wall is now empty.

"it is time now for the battering rams to do its job" He chuckles a bit and then mutters to himself.

"And it is also time for me to show myself"

He smiles as he caress his horse

"It is time for us to go to battle, Aibou" he said to his horse. He had chosen the name for his horse.

Aibou is something that is not have any meanings in Marynku. To the ears of the Marynku people, the word Aibou must sound exotic.

But Aeryon find this to be the perfect name for his horse

Aibou is a Japanese word.

The meaning is simple.

Partner.

"Let’s go" he shouted

Aeryon kick the side of his horse, and with his horse he rushed into battle, rushing forward toward the city wall of Nurshira.

Rains of arrows flies toward him but Aeryon uses his sword to flung them away.

In his eyes, he could see a spot where the arrows did not land. Instead of trying to take cover under the earthen mounds, Aeryon had a different idea

"This is the chance to use this skill" Aeryon wanted to use the Piercing Arrow.

He dodges all the arrows and when he felt that the arrow could not reach him, he quickly grabs the bow behind his back, set his arrow and then with just a glance, he could see the archers on the wall

Aeryon did not grab only one arrow instead, he grabs three arrows. He pull the bow and laughing, he release it.

Swoosh! Three arrows streaked through the air with incredible speed, finding their mark with deadly accuracy. The archers on the wall fell one after another, their foreheads pierced by Aeryon deadly aim.

Three arrows piercing the wind, three foreheads pierced by the arrow!

Aeryon laughed as he see those three people die and the defenders was shocked

"Shoot him!" one of the defenders shouted.

But how could Aeryon let such opportunity go?

Three of those people all dead and their body fell and as such there is now a place where it is safer for him then to move to the area where those three archers was targeting

Because of the death of those three people, there is now an area where there is no arrow being shot

As Aeryon spurred his horse forward, he deftly maneuverer into the opening created by the fall of the three archers.

This was a brief respite from the deadly rain of arrows, a small sanctuary amidst the chaos of battle.

His horse thundered across the uneven ground, agile and responsive to its rider’s commands.

Arrows and other projectiles zipped past Aeryon, some grazing his armor, but he paid them no mind.

His focus is unwavering.

Reaching the safety of that opening, Aeryon wasted no time.

In one seamless motion, he grabbed three arrows, notched them, and drew his bow. With practiced precision, he released the arrows.

Swoosh!

Three more arrows is unleashed with uncanny speed and accuracy.

They found their targets on the city wall, and three defenders fell, their lives extinguished in an instant.

The defenders on the wall were beginning to realize that a formidable adversary was among them, an archer whose skill was unmatched.

Three more people die on the top wall.

Aeryon warrior see it and they could not help but be shocked. It is not easy to shoot someone from far away and to shoot it so accurately that it always targeted the enemy forehead.

"Aeryon!"

Aeryon!

Aeryon!

His men chanted his name and Aeryon keep laughing, the pride of an Overlord revealed to the world!

Aeryon arrows continued to find their marks, piercing through multiple enemies with unerring accuracy.

The defenders on the wall were falling one after another, their lives snuffed out by Aeryon deadly arrows.

In a matter of minutes since he entered the battlefield, Aeryon had created safe passages for his men to advance towards the city walls.

His incredible archery skills had not only struck down the enemy but also paved the way for his warriors to move closer to their objective.

But even as his killing count increases, his stamina is quickly drained. When he shot, he shot with focuses energy, drawing back the arrow to its maximum potential.

The resulting shot then possesses exceptional piercing capabilities, allowing it to penetrate through multiple enemies or obstacles in a straight line.

A few dozen archers is now dead and in the heat of battle, Aeryon even shot through three men at once.

At the same time, Aeryon arrow even cut through metal helmet because of his skill that would inflict increased damage.

Like the skill description this skill is truly effective against groups of enemies or heavily armoured foes.

The force of the arrow remains potent even after piercing, dealing significant damage to all affected targets along its trajectory.

And because of his expertise in archery, it ensures that the Arrow maintains its accuracy and range.

The arrow flies straight and true, minimizing deviation from the intended path, and maximizing the chance of hitting multiple targets in a single shot.

Aeryon relentless assault is taking a heavy toll on the enemy.

He singlehandedly disrupted their defense and shattered their formations atop the wall.

Dozens of archers were falling from their posts, and the Steppe warriors is steadily gaining a foothold on the wall.

The sounds of battle echoed fiercely as more of Aeryon’ warriors joined the fray.

With a satisfied smile, Aeryon skilfully guided his horse to change direction, distancing himself from the range of the archers’ arrows.

"Siege towers!" he shouted and the archers that was already in place, ascend the siege tower.

The tower moves and thousands of arrows rained down toward the city wall.

Below the tower, the warriors that is been waiting beneath the mound is ready to storm the walls.

Battering rams is also now in play

"Siege tower in position, battering rams at the gate!" he thought to himself.

BOOOM!
