Chapter 912 Against Monster Horde - Part 1 Gan Shuo sensed the vibration on the ground. He immediately sent the message about the monster's characteristics to his subordinates, telling them to be careful about the thorny whiskers.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n. After that, he took out his shield and sword from the inventory, ready to battle against the monsters. But he quickly noticed the villagers moved in one direction, to the right of the village, instead of spreading out. Gan Shuo was confused, but he quickly realized that the villagers might think that they would take the other side, "Then we will take this side," He pointed in the opposite direction with his thumb. There was a short pause from Duan Ya, but she quickly realized what had happened, "No. You don't need to protect the other side. The monsters only attack this side in the morning, and the monsters will attack the other side at sunset." That was bizarre, but Gan Shuo did not question the bizarreness because Duan Ya had been fighting the monsters for months, "I will leave a few of my subordinates at the other side just in case," The Field General returned to his subordinates and gave his instructions to them, sending twenty people to the other side and sending the remaining of them with the villagers, "We will be helping them to repel the monsters, and we will discuss our next move after repelling all the monsters for the villagers." "Tarrior! Forward and formation!" Gan Shuo shouted as he came out of the fence along with the three hundred Tarriors. One hundred and eighty Tarriors stood in line along with the fence, putting their shields forward, "Archer! Ready!"
One hundred archers stood behind the formation, pulling their arrows from the quiver and nocking the arrow on the bow. They did not immediately shoot it, waiting for the command from Gan Shuo.
Gan Shuo knew very well the ideal shooting range of his archer teams. The optimal distance was sixty meters, and he estimated the monsters were still over a hundred meters. It was not the time yet, or else they would waste the arrows. Not all the archers from his team could use the mana arrows, after all. "Hundred... Ninety... Eighty... Shoot!" When the monsters were approximately eight meters away, Gan Shuo made the call. Not the ideal range, but he was aware that they must reduce the monsters' numbers before the frontal clash. The monsters were just too many for less than five hundred fighters to fight. A hundred archers started to shoot the arrows. Not all of them hit the target, but most of them hit the monsters with how dense the monsters were. They ran side by side closely, making the arrow hit them easier. However, Gan Shuo found an issue within the first volley. The monster needed more than one hit to be killed. He noticed that they needed at least five arrows to kill the fish monster. The monsters covered the distance quickly. They were now five meters away from the formation, "Combat formation!" Gan Shuo yelled the command. The hundred and eighty Tarriors broke the line formation, separating into twenty-eight groups. If they only had the shield forward before, they pulled out their weapons after hearing the combat formation. When the monster's horde reached thirty meters range, Gan Shuo yelled another command, "Put your bows away and pull your swords!" A hundred archers put the bows back into the inventory and pulled out their swords. It would be dangerous if they rushed into the monsters with the archers still shooting the arrows. They might hurt their friends instead of killing the monsters. The archers joined into the twenty-eight groups, making each group composed of ten people. Each group had a Squad Captain to lead the nine Tarriors, responsible for ensuring his team's safety with his crucial decision in the battle. By the time all twenty-eight groups filled with ten people, Gan Shuo had raised his sword, "Charge!" Two hundred and eighty Tarriors charged to the horde.
