Chapter 95 Shadow Hunter
"No... Ouch?"

Arnold's panicked shouts came to an abrupt end, and Matthew, whose chest was pierced by a spear, turned into specks of light and shadow and disappeared without a trace.

It's an illusion!
Even so, Arnold was still wary, looked towards the direction of the spear, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Be careful on the left side, there is a high-level troll hiding inside!"

While saying this, Arnold looked at the fallen spear and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar mark. He subconsciously trembled and shouted:

"That's a shadow hunter. Watch out for its spear throws. Rogues, hurry up and find its location!"

Shadowhunters?

Matthew, who had been hiding in the dark, raised his eyebrows and vaguely remembered the information about the Shadow Hunters.

It is an advanced profession for rangers and hunters, and it is a very powerful one.

Not only do they have excellent long-range throwing assassination capabilities, but they are also extremely powerful in melee combat, and they are also good at using poison.

Even some outstanding shadow hunters have a certain degree of spellcasting ability.

Faced with assassinations by such professionals, it is often impossible to guard against them.

Just like Matthew just did, if not for decades of adventure experience and the role of arcanists' instinct to avoid frontal danger.

It is very likely that he will be killed instantly by this sudden spear!

Logically speaking, when encountering such an enemy, the caster who is lucky enough to escape with his life will definitely leave the battlefield decisively and return to a safe area to save his life.

However, Matthew is not panicking at all now, and even wants to laugh a little.

"It's not like I was acting in vain. I did the whole thing and kept fishing. I finally found the real threat!"

At this moment, another roar came from the right side, and hundreds of trolls of different sizes rushed towards them with various broken weapons.

Matthew glanced at the dimmed "-3", subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and said in a clear voice:

"They're all here..."

Tom roared, cheering himself up, when a dull sound broke through the air, and he quickly raised his hand and raised his shield.

There was a muffled "clang" sound, and the terrible impact directly caused the shield to dent slightly.

Tom staggered back a step, feeling a tightness in his chest, his blood boiling, and his right hand holding the shield was extremely numb, and he could no longer lift the shield.

The tall troll soldier roared with excitement, raised the hammer again, and smashed it down hard!
Tom, who felt a little weak in his heart, gritted his teeth and held up the shield. His steps were already a little shaky, and his hands were trembling slightly.

He had absolutely no confidence to block this swift blow.

"A crossbow!"

A clear sound suddenly reached Tom's ears, and "whoosh" and "whoosh" sounds broke through the air one after another!
Under Tom's disbelieving gaze, the troll, whose body was covered with arrows but could still stand up to fight, screamed and took a few steps back after being hit by the flying arrows.

Taking a closer look, Tom immediately discovered that the arrow pierced into the troll's chest was as thick as a thumb!

The arrows were extremely powerful and destructive. The armor worn by the troll soldiers was directly pierced, and they tenaciously penetrated into its body.

The stinging troll soldier trembled slightly and tried to pull out the arrow, but failed.

Moreover, the arrow with the sunken blood groove not only continued to bleed the troll, but a strange feeling of paralysis also began to spread from the wound.

The troll that was hit by the arrow was directly weakened by three points.

After realizing this, Tom immediately gained momentum, raised his shield high, and pushed forward.

The continuous arrows flew, giving the soldiers great courage.

Tall trolls are the best targets.

Even with the recovery of extraordinary self-healing ability, it is impossible to ignore the damage of the crossbow arrow.And at this time, Angela took out the last prepared scroll and tore it open without hesitation.

Emerald green light poured into each soldier's body, quickly healing internal and external wounds.

Even the physical strength consumed by the soldiers was quickly restored with the supplement of emerald green light.

The soldiers, who had returned to their full strength, shouted one after another, not only stabilizing the defense line, but also repelling the trolls injured by the crossbow arrows.

A spell with powerful effects is one of the famous battlefield skills!

Seventh-level high-level spell—group healing!

The market price of this spell scroll alone cost 7800 gold coins!

This was Bay Village's biggest expense last month, besides paying the troll bounty to adventurers.

When Angela released this spell, a little bit of heartache and reluctance flashed through her heart.

However, after seeing the astonishing effect of the spell, she quickly put it behind her and ordered the wanderers around her to also use more lethal crossbows.

For a time, the trolls fighting with the soldiers were repelled one after another, and some trolls who were shot in the head by crossbow arrows died on the spot.

Finally started to cause effective damage to these trolls!

That's right, so far in the battle, the one who has killed the most trolls is Matthew, the arcanist who is hiding!
The number of 26 trolls is far ahead!

Next is Beelzebub, a barbarian warrior with extraordinary strength who can suppress the power of trolls.

He can directly chop off the troll's head, so that no matter how strong the self-healing ability is, it will be of no use!
Even so, Beelzebub only killed 8 trolls. After seeing how powerful he was, the other trolls had no intention of fighting him alone. They usually attacked in groups of two or three.

This is the difference between games and reality. All intelligent creatures are alive.

If you have your own ideas, you will shrink back and run for your life!

The adventurers not far away felt a little incredible when they saw that the soldiers of Bay Village actually withstood the attacks of so many trolls!

"Are these soldiers so strong? Can they withstand the attack of the same number of trolls??"

"It's probably going to be difficult. The more than 100 trolls on the right are almost on the battlefield. With their numbers at a disadvantage, it's impossible for them to be able to hold on..."

"If it weren't for these trolls, maybe they would really have hope of winning..."

"No way, who gave the troll the ability to heal itself?"

"As long as the injury is not fatal, you can recover in battle..."

"Soldiers are different. Even if the lord is wealthy and generous with alchemy potions and healing scrolls, he can only hold on for a while!"

"Yes, once they are exhausted or injured again, the pressure will increase..."

"It's a pity. If the number of soldiers were doubled, we could concentrate our forces to eliminate the trolls bit by bit..."

"We'll be on target when the time comes, and we'll save the lord first and then..."

"How about setting up some traps to delay the trolls while the soldiers retreat..."

"That's not bad..."

"..."

Experienced adventurers have clearly seen the situation on the battlefield and made clearer judgments.

Although he was shocked by the strength of the soldiers in Bay Village, he was still not optimistic that the lord could win. Many adventurers were complaining:
"Let's defend the camp honestly, okay?"
