Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 787 - 741: The Commander Is Baffled
However, for some unknown reason, all their eyes simultaneously turned to Lin Yi, who was leisurely drinking water from a bottle.
Or more precisely, their gaze was on the black "Magical Treasure" in Lin Yi's arms.
After all, at this moment, only this Magical Treasure could give them a sense of security.
This thing was incredibly powerful, even capable of killing a hundred people in an instant.
They had never seen or heard of anything like it before.
Because of this, even now, facing an army of tens of thousands, they surprisingly found the courage to fight.
And in such an atmosphere, finally, the massive army surrounded the city walls completely.
Standing on the wall and looking out, all you could see was a sea of people.
But fortunately, in his previous life, Lin Yi had experienced such scenes.
Though he hadn't been through such wars, during the public recruitment by the Zao Nuclear Group, it was equally crowded.
It's no exaggeration to say that the employees under any of his companies would outnumber these people by several times.
Because of this, Lin Yi didn't feel anything unusual or any pressure.
Having experienced much, this was nothing. Perhaps if the few thousand before him turned into hundreds of thousands, Lin Yi might feel some pressure.
However, while Lin Yi felt no pressure, Leng Yu and the others were extremely stressed.
After all, it was nearly ten thousand troops surrounding them, and they were not enough to match even a spit from each of the enemies.
If it weren't for Lin Yi being here, they might have already slit their throats.
Yet, although the thousands of troops were right in front of them, the expressions on the faces of the enemy's chief general and the soldiers ahead were not good either.
Looking at the bodies on the ground not far ahead, they couldn't help but furrow their brows.
Especially the General, who stared at the strange-looking dead subordinates on the ground, frowning deeply, and asked the Deputy General beside him:
"What's going on here? Can you tell what wounded them? Why are they in this condition?"
The people closest to the grenades at the time didn't leave a complete body.
Because of this, the General couldn't help but start wildly guessing in his mind what kind of scene could cause such a situation.
Could it be that a super warrior dismembered them?
After all, there's no such thing as gunpowder nowadays, so nothing related to explosions would appear on the battlefield. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
But how is this possible? Such a scene shouldn't occur on a battlefield; even if there were a fierce warrior here, they wouldn't waste energy like that!
Moreover, how do you explain the holes in their foreheads and chests?
This kind of damage couldn't have been caused by arrows.
Although arrows can pierce through a person, the shaft usually remains inside the body; they rarely go straight through.
A super Divine Archer capable of shooting through a human body would number less than one hand across the three nations.
And at this moment, over a hundred people present were in similar condition, making it even more baffling.
Even if there were a super Divine Archer capable of piercing through a human body, there's no way they could shoot a hundred people in one go.
Based on his knowledge and personal experience, at most a Divine Archer could shoot three arrows in rapid succession with such force.
Even if they managed to kill a hundred people, they should be exhausted and dead by now.
But that wasn't even the most surprising thing; the most surprising thing was that there were no Feathered Arrows around these bodies, leaving them very puzzled.
Based on prior experience, such a scene should be surrounded by a rain of arrows.
In fact, their bodies should look like hedgehogs.
But now, the ground around them was clean, and besides their own quivers, there were no Feathered Arrows at all.
This left them even more confused. Even when he had someone flip over a corpse, there were no traces on the ground at all.
"General, we have checked all the bodies, and found no Feathered Arrows. There are no marks, and we have no clue how these injuries were inflicted."
The Deputy General beside him was also completely bewildered. He had led people to examine several comrades' bodies but made no discoveries.
The more corpses he examined, the colder his back felt, not understanding what kind of weapon could cause such harm.
After hearing this, the General raised his head, looking toward the faint silhouettes on top of the city walls, his brows knitted tightly together:
"How many people are there on the other side? Could there be a few thousand troops up there?"
It's no wonder he had such doubts, as the injuries on his subordinates were too bizarre.
In this battle, no bodies from the other side had been seen, indicating they did not lose a single soldier in the recent fight.
To wipe out a hundred people without losing a single one shows the other side either had advanced weapons or an overwhelmingly large number of people.
But according to his information, there shouldn't be so many soldiers in this area.
Previously, wasn't the 2000-strong Border Army the garrison here?
And those people had almost been slaughtered by them, leaving at most only a few stragglers.
Could those few stragglers achieve such damage? It's clearly impossible.
Hearing this, the Deputy General repeatedly shook his head and said:
"General, they cannot have too many people. The intelligence we received was very accurate—it was revealed by insiders, and the 2000-strong Border Army was the entire garrison here.
We counted over 1800 soldiers clad in armor at the time.
This means no more than 200 escaped.
Among these 200, some were injured by us. Those truly capable of fighting shouldn't exceed a hundred."
"No more than a hundred? Then explain to me what's happening before us!"
After the Deputy General spoke, the General immediately wielded his horsewhip...
