The Human Emperor (200-400)

C209: Retaliation!

“Wang Chong, what are your thoughts?”

Zhao Qianqiu’s face was pale and his body was completely soaked in blood. The other people that came with him were injured as well. They had to fight all the way here, and there were even two victims in the midst of their journey.

The situation on this mountain peak was much more dangerous than everyone thought.

“Is this the student you spoke of?”

At this moment, the master archer instructor turned to Zhao Qianqiu and asked.

His breathing was extremely heavy, and his forehead and clothes were drenched with sweat. It seemed as though he had exerted himself greatly. Only he knew how close he had come to death just a moment ago.

All of the enemy master archers seemed to view him as an eyesore and half of all the arrows came flying toward him.

No one could imagine the pressure he had undergone then.

Only a master archer could deal with another master archer. With forty master archers eager to strike him down, his chances of dying were much greater than anyone else here.

Zhao Qianqiu nodded to the master archer instructor’s words.

Aoo!

The ferocious howling of a wolf suddenly echoed from just outside the room. However, it was silenced barely after it had begun.

“Hurry up! We don’t have much time left!”

The anxious voices of two Imperial Army guards echoed from the entrance. Beside them were the bodies of seven or eight recently slain wolves.

The situation here was highly disadvantageous to them. An army of wolves and Goguryeon warriors were currently stomping through the entire White Tiger Peak.

On top of that, they were backed by the arrows of the master archers.

The pressure swiftly fell onto the crowd in the room. Everyone turned their eyes to Wang Chong.

Gathering the Imperial Army guards and master archer was Wang Chong’s idea so everyone bore some expectations of him.

“Chen Burang, come over!”

Wang Chong beckoned to Chen Burang. The urgent matter at hand wasn’t to deal with the Goguryeon warriors and wolf packs outside but the Turk master archers and Goguryeon condor snipers.

As long as they were allowed to continue providing supporting fire unopposed, the Imperial Army wouldn’t stand a chance.

When dozens of Turk master archers and condor snipers were aimed at a single person, even if that person was Zhao Qianqiu, the only plausible fate was death.

——That was how fearsome a team of master archers was!

“To think that there would be such a thing!”

Upon hearing about Chen Burang’s talents from Wang Chong, the master archer instructor was astounded. There wasn’t a single master archer who didn’t possess superior senses, but even for them, perceiving sounds several li away was an impossible feat; not to mention, discerning a person’s exact position.

Even he, as a master archer himself, was unable to say for sure how many master archers were hiding in the dark.

This youth hunter had truly left him astounded this time around. But of course, amidst the surprise was delight as well.

“I understand your intention. This is indeed a good fortress.”

The master archer scanned the surroundings. Due to the momentary illumination from the candlelight at the start of the assault, this location had drawn frenzied attacks from the master archers, resulting in innumerable wolf fang arrows being pierced into the floor.
