Soo! Shoo! Shoo! Dozens of arrows flew out from the bushes, over the ledges behind large stones, raining down arrows. Henrik orders the first volley of arrows. And for a moment, the area around that path of the hill becomes dark. Almost like the clouds bearing down on them. If one looks up, there is a patch of the sky that is black and seemingly bringing killing intent. It is a pity it is not the sight of a thousand arrows falling down. If it was, then this patch of darkened sky would be even more magnificent. But this time only around twenty arrows flying down. There is no such magnificent scene of ten thousand arrows falling won. But to those who is in this battlefield, it is almost like their eyesight narrows and as they look at the patch of sky above their heads, it truly seems like one part of the sky darkened. However, the soldiers that saw this did not panic. Nor they do feel any fear. Instead, there is a glint in their eyes. This is the difference between soldiers who are trained in fighting and peasants that farms in the farm. They know how to respond. “Raise shield!” someone from the other side shouted The soldiers were not panicked at all. They were not afraid. They raise their shields in unison the moment the orders were given. Clang! Clang! Most of the arrows hit the shield and was deflected to the side. Some get stuck on the shield. But many more hits the ground. Some even went off course and hit only the air. Henrik frowns “Still too little experience” The fact that there is some arrows that even hit the shield made Henrik wanted to praise that person. “Attack!” The one leading the soldier shouted and Henrik takes a deep breath The soldiers began charging forward. On the hills the archers are preparing their arrows. Henrik had already order the moment he gave the order to attack with a arrows, it means the battle has begin Henrik would not micromanage the battle. He never thought of trying to manage the battle. Even though these people see him like some kind of leader figure, he knew himself. He does not know anything about commanding a battle. He only knows some basic things but he knows not how to manage an army If not for Matthias, he did not know even know how to start. So, he never made any effort of trying to micromanage the battle He had already given ethe orders to the archers that they could shoot freely and shoot when they feel it is appropriate. They did not have many arrows and they did not have many people. The judgment of when to shoot and where to shoot it, he left it at the hands of the shooters. Henrik simply adhere to the idea that since even he doesn’t know when is the right moment to order attack and not, he simply let the archers make that decision for themselves. Maybe he would even discover some of them are archery prodigy or something. If he died this time and come back, he would at least have some reference of who have some talent in archery and who do not. Of course, he would like it if he would not die again. But he is just making some plans if he did. Some of the arrows did hit the charging soldiers but it did not do much. The fact that these arrows manage to hit at the soldiers means whoever shot it was either lucky or talented. But no matter how talented this archer is, it did not do much damage to the soldier. The tip is sharp but not metal and even metal would find it hard to penetrate the thick leather strip armour. Some of these soldiers have thick armour, the force on the arrow itself is not strong so it could pierce through the armour. Henrik look at this battle and his eyes narrow “This could not hold. There needs to be a change” he mutters to himself The flow of battle did not turn to them even when they are holding an advantageous position. The arrows are flying but only a few of them hit the target. On the other side Balint also has his own difficulties. They were also being attacked right now. Then suddenly he felt a feeling, an instinct that is telling him that there is
