Chapter 200

After John's army made all the preparations, all the enemies were surprised to find 30 ballistas pointing at their Directions from quite a distance . To be exact, 2 . 1x the range of their own ballistas . and 3x the range of ballistas owned by Jim and Joss .

John spoke to his men with a cold tone, "Prepare the ballistas and Aim all the watchtowers that have Ballistas . You guys don't need to worry about Prince Hector or anyone for the matter . Start making preparations to shoot . "

"Yes, Milord . " The roar of soldiers was heard throughout the battlefield .

Jim observed carefully and laughed as he looked at his enemies, "Have those guys gone senile? Do they really think that they can hit us from that distance of 1+ Km even if they use the runic ballistas? Hahaha, morons, as expected from the men of that upstart . It seems my plan still worked in provoking them to attack Dolores . "

Joss nodded as he smiled agreed with Jim, "True, Prince Hector and Duke Fjord might be happy with you guys for once now that they are going to attack the borders . It seems your Relation with Prince Hector and Fjord came in handy to ally both of those guys which were nearly impossible previously . "

Joss looked at John's eyes for the first time as he got intimidated as their eyes made contact, He murmured, "Fool, thinking he can pull a miracle now that all the cards in our hands . He will pay the price for his arrogance"

Jim laughed as he stopped after hearing something, "Wel . . . "

John roared after the preparations were made, "FIRE . "

"Boom . . . ! Boom . . . ! Boom . . . !" The ground shook as soon as the Ballistas were fired . The nearby animals had long fled after watching the previous battle .

Suddenly multiple ballistas hit the ballistas on the roofs of walls . The Watchtowers on the walls and inside the walls immediately caught with fire as soon as the runic ballistas hit them . It seemed that Battletower was sprayed with oil which only made it worse for them . There was complete chaos on Watchtowers as they caught fire . Men inside the watchtowers were burning while some got torn into shreds as they got caught by the projectile .

"Woah, what is this?".

Almost everyone got surprised after the first shot by all the ballistas . For the first time, all the soldiers on the wall felt fear after watching the fate of their ballistas and watchtowers . All of them shivered as panic gripped them for the first time .

One of the officers came out of his office as he heard the first sound of explosions, "Attack the enemies, what are we doing? Why are you standing here like ducks?"

One of the guys answered, "Sir, it isn't possible, look at the position of the enemy ballistas . Our Ballistas won't reach them even with Runic projectiles . "

The head cursed, "Oh god, why is this happening? Who are they?"

The subordinate answered, "It's General Anak of Count John's domain . I think they are attacking us because we stopped their path with our ballistas when they were chasing the Head of Goldrushers, Jim . We did it because of clear cut orders given by Prince Hector and Baron Antonio to provide shelter to them . And attack Count John's men if they try to chase them inside this Border Camp . Sir, How do we proceed further?"

The Officer murmured as he remembered his conversation with Prince Hector when they decided to shelter Mercenaries, "Fuck, why is this happening? Don't they know that today's actions would make them hostile to the Royal family and other guys? Wasn't it already predicted that they won't take actions unilaterally as they are blocked on all the sides and would have to bear the mercenaries? Is this action taken by that General unilaterally? Fuck why is this happening now? Why must we become the cannon fodder for the start of this war? Maybe that Count doesn't know about it . Fuck that Jim for provoking him . "

Officer immediately cursed as he prepared a letter and handed it over to his subordinate, "The most surprising thing is the current range of those ballistas . This is out of our expectations, I hope nothing untoward happens today as this is a very delicate situation . Damn, I need to inform Prince Hector and Baron Antonio . Go and hand this letter to prince or baron only . "

He nodded and immediately left for Dolores .

One of the guys handling the ballistas roared hoarsely, "How the fuck is this possible . Our Ballistas can't even reach them . Even with runic ballistas, they are only improved by 40% which is insufficient . We need to leave or we will die, they are already targeting our ballistas . How are they able to pinpoint us so easily from such a distance . "

The ballista teams under John were using the Telescope to pinpoint enemy positions . Each team had a guide who specialized in locating the enemy as he guided their teams to attack their enemies without stopping .

Both Jim and Joss were immediately alerted as they looked at the Burning watchtowers . It was one of the most horrific incidents which influenced the morale of Soldiers inside the camp .

One of the ballistas aimed by Amber's team just got past Jim and Joss as it missed them . They looked at their enemies with incredulity . Fear slowly crept and came to their throats for the first time .

Cursed Jim as he ran, "Fuck . "

They ran to their camps in panic and started to prepare their men .

Joss was overwhelmed as he looked at Anak with astonishment and fear, "What the fu . . . How is this possible? This is dangerous . We need to destroy those ballistas at any cost . "

John ordered his men without stop, "Don't stop, Load and fire . Target the Ballistas and watchtowers without any stop . Lets see how long they can resist this barrage . Men ready your mini-ballistas as well if they try to approach our siege weapons . Drip your arrows in poison that was previously distributed to you and attack . "

Amber laughed as he saw Jim and Joss . He laughed and headed towards one unit of the vanguard, "Hahaha, look at their fear and surprise . Do they really think that we would give up all of our military secrets? Those pussy's Jim and Joss surely run faster than a rabbit after getting a scare . I wish it would have hit their dicks . "

"hahaha, Captain you will kill us with your jokes first instead of our enemies . "All the men laughed as they heard Amber and his ridicule .

Both Jim and Joss looked at Amber with anger as humiliation soon swept them after a moment of fear .

While Marsh looked at his enemies with cold eyes that were devoid of any mercy for his enemies after the previous massacre .

Marsh thought, 'It would have been better if it really hit that rapist, Jim's dick . Damn, what am I thinking after getting influenced by that rookie?'

All the enemies were in a panic as they tried to save their ballistas and put out the fire created by explosions . They were carrying drums of water as they tried to save their ballistas, however, it was of no use .

One of the guards of Antonio spoke in a surprised manner as he witnessed the explosions, "Is this for real? That General is really insane . Doesn't he know the consequences of such actions? This will be big . "

Jim asked Joss in a serious manner, "How many soldiers do we have currently?"

Joss replied as he sighed and looked at the battlefield, "25,000 excluding the 7000 border corps of Prince Hector and Baron Antonio . "

Joss grumbled as he tried to think rationally, 'Did we really miscalculate the actions of our enemies this time around? Aren't they afraid of the complete blockade? I guess we will bear the burnt as we pushed them into the corner . No, I can't let this happen . This problem was started by this fool in the first place . Why did I even ally with this fool in the first place? Maybe I should take my chance in killing that count for once . Nah, I should conclude my other operation, this fool will anyway get killed . '

Jim spoke in a grave tone as he watched the continuous barrage of ballistas, "We can't let this continue any longer . We will only be waiting for our deaths if we let this continue . We will be charging out immediately . We should organize a team to destroy their ballistas . One as bait and other the main force . "

Joss nodded as he neither agreed nor did he disagree, "Hmm . . . "

nearly 60% of the ballistas on the walls were as good as gone after the first attack . There was a complete panic among soldiers . While John's men were spotting the ballistas .

Prince Hector's captain roared as he spoke via sound stone rune towards John after handing over the letter, "General Anak, how dare you attack Dolores? Don't you fear the consequences of your actions? Even your Lord, Count John wouldn't support you over these actions . You guys are already facing a blockade on food, do you want to suffer more? Don't blame me if you face a complete blockade, I order you to take back your men immediately . Apologize to us or face the consequences . "

Anak laughed loudly as he teasingly spoke via his sound stone, "Attack Dolores? Nah, I am simply attacking mercenaries and their Collaborators . I am sure Baron Mendez and Prince Hector don't know about some traitors in his army who are collaborating with Mercenaries responsible for the massacre of Greenwoods village . Since you guys dared protect Mercenaries who are our enemies, you guys are equally responsible for both the massacres . If your prince is involved in it then he too will face the same bells . As far as your threat is concerned, why don't you guys try it? As long as you guys don't handover Goldrush and other Mercenaries, this attack will continue . If you guys come in my way . I don't mind killing all of you guys . You shouldn't worry about Count John as I was given full authority when it comes to eliminating mercenaries from our borders, if you come in my way then you too would be considered as mercenaries by me and my men . Don't beg in front me later on when you and your men face death . "

"You . . . !" The Captain pointed at Anak's face with a face full of anger . A lot of soldiers on the walls too were angered after hearing John's speech and roared .

The angered men spoke, "Boss, What are we waiting for? We have to teach that arrogant bastard . He dares call us collaborators . "

Watching the finger, John stared at him with cold-blooded ruthless eyes as he provoked him, "What? You wanna fight?"

Watching those eyes which leaked bloodthirsty killing intent, the captain was completely taken back as he experienced fear for the first time just by watching the eyes . He had only seen these sorts of eyes from General Irwin and other Generals .

John coldly ordered as they started targeting the remain ballistas, "Continue firing . Target them if anyone comes out of those gates . We are moving ahead . "

Hearing this, a lot of mercenaries were angered however they didn't look in the eyes of the enemy general and rant . Instead only ranting behind the back as they feared that Anak might remember their face .
