Under Fang Zhou's command, the Skeleton Archers did not hide from the enemy's fierce onslaught.

Instead, they maintained an upright posture, standing firm at the edge of the lookout tower like rows of stone pillars. They drew their bows and fired arrows at a steady frequency.

The twang of their bowstrings was faint compared to the sound of Short Spears hammering against the wooden planks like rain.

However, their killing efficiency was worlds apart.

After every twang, a Sheep-headed Monster would inevitably scream and fall from the back of its black mount.

Of course, this exchange of fire was not without danger.

However, the Skeleton Archers not only had the protection of the lookout tower, but their skeletal bodies also allowed them to ignore most of the inaccurately thrown spears.

They stood unwavering amidst the volley of incoming spears, their movements to nock and release their arrows never faltering.

This scene caused the nearby Black Armored Abyss Knight to feel unprecedented anxiety.

The lookout tower's Defense was far stronger than he had anticipated.

Not only was the tower built from incredibly sturdy logs, but the Skeleton Archers atop it were also exceptionally powerful.

They braved the rain of Short Spears, returning fire downward with astonishing accuracy and speed.

The Black Armored Abyss Knight's pitch-black Longbow was immensely powerful, capable of blasting away half of a lookout tower's roof with a single Arrow.

However, a particularly terrifying marksman on the nearest lookout tower was watching him closely, forcing the Abyss Knight to hesitate.

The Black Armored Abyss Knight had firsthand experience of this marksman's power.

During his assault on the camp, a single Arrow from that marksman had not only pierced his shield—which had been enhanced by Abyss Magic and should have been indestructible—but had also blown it into a heap of scrap iron.

Although the Black Armored Abyss Knight's armor was also fortified with Dark Magic and possessed extremely high Defense Power, he had no intention of personally testing if it was any tougher than his shield had been.

"Concentrate your fire! Target the lookout tower nearest to me!"

The Black Armored Abyss Knight's voice was deep and menacing.

Even with the great strength granted by his Demonization, holding the pitch-black Longbow drawn for so long was making his arms begin to ache.

The Sheep-headed Monsters could not defy the Black Armored Abyss Knight's command.

They let out ear-piercing screams and swarmed toward Li Guang's lookout tower like a pack of crazed beasts.

The Short Spears cast a shadow over the sky, raining down as densely as a thunderstorm.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The wooden parapets groaned under the violent impacts, each thud heralding another heavy blow.

The lookout tower's roof was not spared, and the whole structure swayed slightly under the continuous bombardment.

Beside Li Guang, a Skeleton Archer suddenly shuddered.

A Short Spear had shot through the narrow gap between the tower's roof and the wooden parapet, striking the Skeleton Archer directly in the skull.

Its white bones were exposed, and the once-vigorous Soul Fire within its skull dimmed significantly from the blow.

Such an injury would have been a Deadly Strike for an ordinary Warrior, rendering them unable to fight and in need of immediate medical attention.

However, this wounded Skeleton Archer had no concept of Death, nor any fear of pain.

It remained standing tall like an indestructible javelin, firmly rooted to the spot without a hint of retreat.

TWANG!

With the sound of the bowstring, another scream immediately echoed from beyond the wooden wall.

The Sheep-headed Monster that had just thrown that lucky Short Spear didn't even have time to celebrate before a sharp Arrow pierced its neck, sending it tumbling from its mount.

Then, Fang Zhou, who had been monitoring the entire battlefield, gave the Crystal Ball in his hand a quick, deft wave.

He cast the Resurrection of the Dead skill, instantly healing the Skeletons who had been wounded in the dense barrage of spears from the Sheep-headed Monster Battle Group.

Aside from a few unlucky Skeleton Archers whose Soul Fire was struck directly, causing them to collapse into piles of bone, the vast majority returned to their peak condition.

He watched as the lookout tower stood firm against the onslaught of spears, while the Skeleton Archers on top returned fire with deadly precision. His Sheep-headed Monsters were picked off one by one, toppling from their mounts to their deaths. Faced with such tremendous losses, the Black Armored Abyss Knight finally felt an unprecedented pressure.

He let out a deafening roar and swung his pitch-black Longbow. An Arrow filled with hatred and frustration flew out wildly.

He then turned and bolted into the deep darkness, attempting to flee a battle he was doomed to lose.

The errant black Arrow grazed the lookout tower, gouging a chunk out of the wooden parapet.

Atop the lookout tower, Li Guang's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's. The Silver Fir Wood Longbow in his tight grip gave a crisp creak as he moved.

He quickly took aim. An Arrow shot forth like a meteor streaking across the sky, whistling sharply as it flew straight toward the back of the fleeing Black Armored Abyss Knight.

However, the Black Armored Abyss Knight displayed astonishing reflexes.

Just as the Arrow was about to hit, his hooded cloak flared open like a pair of wings. This gave him a burst of speed, and he plunged into the cover of darkness, cleverly evading the Deadly Strike.

Li Guang's Arrow merely grazed the edge of the cloak, tearing off a scrap of black fabric before embedding itself deep in the ground, leaving a conspicuous mark.
