Chapter 946: The Creatures Attacking
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Walk in a circle and keep walking!" Thorn Baron was angry, but she had to maintain her composure in order to effectively lead and issue appropriate commands for the situation .
Han Sen's arrow was a silent killer, but it could still be seen with the naked eye .
Thorn Baron's subordinates were situated in a formation that allowed them to carefully watch in every direction . If an arrow was fired, it'd definitely be seen .
Han Sen's arrow delivered terrible damage to the creatures it struck, but if the creatures were able to see it come their way, they could block it .
Unable to find a decent opening for the time being, Han Sen had no choice but to fall back . Removing two mutant creatures from the field of play was good enough for the time being .
There were five mutant creatures and two royal spirits remaining, as the key figures of the enemy horde . With the Dragon-Blood Snake on their side, they stood every chance of defeating those who sought to oppose them .
Thorn Baron's people, following this, walked at a much slower pace in fear of another ambush . When Han Sen returned to the knight shelter, they were still descending the mountain region he had engaged them on .
Han Sen had been able to get a reading of the power of the mutant creatures and spirits remaining, so he returned quickly to make some final adjustments to his plan .
"Five mutant creatures and two royal spirits? And only three hundred primitive creatures? Perhaps you are correct; perhaps we really can win this," Old Huang said, with tempered excitement .
"By committing to a strong defense, we can employ a great advantage over the assaulting force . The primitive creatures are only cannon fodder and are not a genuine threat for the time they remain in the open . All we must fear is them breaching the wall . . . " someone else chimed in to say .
"Their numbers are too many, and ours too few . We don't have enough people to effectively guard all four walls," another man said, with a frown .
"We have to try; we have committed ourselves to this . We have no choice!" someone else said, with a clap of their hands .
After the discussion, Han Sen went to the spirit hall . It was situated in the center of the shelter, and from there, he could see all four walls and their ramparts .
"They're here!" someone proclaimed, riding into the shelter .
The time had come, and even though they had steeled their hearts for the hardships to come, they were still in shock . They all looked to Han Sen for the initial instructions .
"You know the plan . Everyone, get to your positions now . " As Han Sen issued the command, he summoned Dragon-Blood Snake, which went to the northern side of the shelter . He also had Little Wind with him, who he told to stay near one of the walls .
Han Sen stood atop the spirit hall, not planning to leave . He didn't care much that his fighters were feeling nervous, only that they did as they were told . He now looked at his Gold-Talon Wolf beast soul .
Mutant Gold-Talon Wolf: Weapon Beast Soul
Han Sen summoned it, and a fang-like dagger appeared in his hand . It was not as lethal as the red one he had been using, but it was still a powerful weapon .
"I am Thorn Baron . This shelter and the lands that encompass it are to be relinquished by the current inhabitants and given to me . If you wish to escape the futile death that will result from pointless resistance, your lives can be spared and forfeited to service beneath my rule . " Thorn Baron was not in a good mood .
"And I am just a soldier . If you wish to escape a futile death that will come about from pointless attempts of shelter-conquering, your lives can be spared and forfeited to service beneath my rule . I could do with a pretty new maid," a man called Chen Lei spoke aloud in response .
The humans around him all burst into laughter, and they did not appear as tense as Thorn Baron had expected .
"As a baron of thorns, I'm used to dealing with pricks, but you . . . " Thorn Baron's mood went from sour to curdled . Hearing this, she became angrier than ever . Not in the mood to negotiate any further, she commanded her creatures to begin their assault .
Han Sen had drafted many different plans, but most of them seemed to be pointless now . Perhaps it was due to her impatient mood, but her entire host seemed to only attack from one sole direction .
"I overestimated her intelligence . " Han Sen had a wry smile and commanded everyone to the defense of the northern wall and ramparts . He also went to accompany them there .
With Thorn Baron's less-than-efficient method of assault, the pressure they had each been under was lifted by a great degree .
Having thirty people to guard the northern wall was more than enough .
Monsters roared, explosions sounded, thunder struck, and humans shouted their war cries . The variety of noises melded together to form the grand soundscape of war . It was a magnificent scene .
The walls were being shredded by blades of wind, as fireballs were also hurled at it . A creature that looked like a leopard started to scale the stone wall, and just as it was about to reach the top, a human plunged a sword deep into one of its eyes . Blood squirted from the puncture, as the leopard dropped back down to the chaotic ground below .
Roar!
A tiger that was wreathed in fire appeared and announced itself . Its body was sturdily built like a tank, and its mere presence was enough to exude a feeling of dread on those that saw it coming .
Boom!
A red shadow jumped out of the shelter and lashed out against the terrifying tiger . It was sent flying through the air, on a low trajectory which had it knocking down trees as it went .
The Dragon-Blood Snake cried out at the foes that assaulted the shelter . With a simple swing of its tail, eight primitive creatures were instantly slaughtered .
A black eagle circled the air and cast its own Windblade down below . A titan-like beast brought a battering ram towards the gate of the shelter, and with each pounding impact, the shelter rattled and vibrated .
Han Sen did not fight during the entirety of this, he merely commanded the Dragon-Blood Snake and the humans that fought valiantly in the defense of their home . As good as things had been going so far, Han Sen believed the enemy was more formidable than he had initially assumed them to be .
They even had two mutant creatures with them that had unlocked five of their gene locks . The flaming tiger that had been knocked away had six of its gene locks open, just like the snake .
The humans were in a bad spot, and the battle was going to be far tougher than they expected .
But calmly, Han Sen watched and commanded his troops to repel the invasion . And with his improved dongxuan aura, he could keep track of all the humans and creatures . While things would be okay for now, he knew he'd need an additional trick to give his team an edge . As such, he spared one part of his mind for figuring that out .
He knew he could maintain a stalemate, continuing as he had been, but a surefire victory would need something more .
"If this isn't enough to win, we may have to cut corners . " Han Sen observed Thorn Baron, who was standing behind her army .
She too observed Han Sen . She believed the humans would be easily defeated, and was surprised to see such an effective resistance . Of course, she knew this was down to the person commanding them . He attracted her gaze .
