Tales Of Magic Swordsman - Chapter 575

Everyone who got cut by the small shrapnel got poisoned. Although the poison was not that strong, it was still annoying and distracting to get poison damage from this.

Actually, not everyone got poison effect. Some of them got confuse effect and also burned effect. These three debuffs were coming from each mortar separately.

The clerics acted quickly. Some of them heal the tanker while the others started to cure the poison and the other debuff. Unfortunately, there was not mass cure spell on clerics. So, they had no choice but to do this one by one.

However, before everyone could get completely cured of the poison and the debuff, three loud sound was heard once again. Three mortars already flew towards Gaia’s soldiers.

The three mortars already hit the tanker at the front. However, just like the previous occasion, small shrapnel exploded and flew towards the soldiers at the back. The reload time for the siege weapons surprised Smite.

It was too quick considering the power and the effect of the weapons. And it was faster than the reported information. Smite wanted to curse the spy who supplied this inaccurate information. However, he knew that it was also not easy to be a spy. Moreover, they had to be careful not to get caught.

“Drink your antidote and cure potion! Don’t rely on the clerics’ cure!” Smite shouted.

Smite knew that if they only rely on the cleric’s cure, they could not advance. With Smite’s command, everyone started to take out their cure potion depending on the debuff they got.

This strategy worked quite well. They started to advance once more.

The Gaia’s soldiers advanced very slowly. They were blocked by the mortar’s power and the Regalia’s attacks. The cleric was busy healing the tanker. In the end, Smite’s commanded the cleric to focus on healing and let the soldiers cure their own debuff.

Unfortunately, the pressure on the clerics had increased since the siege weapons joined in. The pressure made the clerics make some mistakes and heal the same person twice. Hence, there was someone else who didn’t get a proper heal. One mistake created another error. And, this widened the gap. In the end, the first casualty from Gaia’s side occurred.

When the first casualty occurred, Smite immediately shouted, “Keep going!”

Smite knew they could not stop in the middle of the war, or else they would all die for naught. Moreover, he already knew that casualties were inevitable in a war like this.

Smite hoped that they could reach the outpost with minimum casualties. He was pondering on how to change the tide of battle. In the end, he gritted his teeth and shouted, “Melees! Go all out. The first one who can open the gate will get a bonus from me!”

The soldiers who heard Smite’s shouts started to get greedy when they heard about the bonus, especially the players. Since they could resurrect even when they died, they wanted to try their luck here.

Without disregarding the injuries, the melee soldiers ran off towards the outpost crazily as if they had seen a free diamond.

Some of the ranged and magics players also tried their luck even though they had weak defense and low health.

The melee soldiers used varied kinds of items and skills to minimize their damage. Some of them even held shields on one of their hand and health potions on their other hands.

Of course, because of the absurd charge like this, the formation became chaotic. Only some of the soldiers could stay calm before the greed moved in a formation. Of course, both of Auron’s characters were included in that groups.

With this free-style charge, Gaia’s soldiers advanced quicker. This sudden chaotic charge made Regalia’s soldiers stunned as well. At first, they panicked and aimed at the single target who was closer to the outpost.

Of course, this type of attack would only disadvantage the Regalia’s side. However, that moment didn’t last long as the outpost’s commanders quickly commanded properly. He told the siege weapons and the ranged and magic units to aim towards the big groups behind.

The outpost’s commanders also commanded the melee soldiers to receive these single soldiers. The outpost gate opened, and a group of elite soldiers led by the outpost’s vice commanders departed before the gate closed again.

There were 15 Regalia’s soldiers inside this little group. Although it was only a small number, it was enough to deal against these single soldiers. A clash happened not too far away from the outpost’s gate.

The Gaia’s soldiers were overwhelmed by the Regalia’s soldiers. However, they didn’t give up easily. They tried every trick to get through past these 15 soldiers to get to the gate.

Casualties increased from the Gaia’s side, and it was rapidly. However, the sacrifice was not in vain. The big group led by Smite could also advance quickly and reached closer to the outpost’s gate.

When they were already near, Smite commanded, “Attack the soldiers on the wall!!! Follow your leader’s lead!!!”

Several attacks flew towards the Regalia’s soldiers on the wall. Smite had separated several ranged and magic units into some small groups. Each of the groups was led by one person.

Smite had briefed the leaders of the groups to concentrate their attacks at one point. This way, they could achieve greater damage and had a higher chance to kill their enemies.

Smite’s strategy worked brilliantly. Although there were only several targets each attack wave, 90% of the attacks would kill the target. This way, the Regalia’s soldiers on the wall also got reduced.

The casualties on both sides increased significantly. As Smite’s group reached closer towards the gate, a reinforcement came from the Regalia’s side to help their vice commander’s group.

Three minutes later, Smite shouted, “CHARGE!!!”

The rest of the melee soldiers charged and joined with the first group that had already charged crazily. A battle near the gate erupted. Meanwhile, the ranged and magics units kept on attacking Regalia’s soldiers on the wall.
