On the tense battlefield, sappers were busily transporting arrows.

Sappers were a new type of soldier designed by Sauron. Their daily task was to build fortifications and debug new weapons and equipment.

The reason the sappers had to carry them was because these arrows were longer than ordinary arrows, and overall, they were much heavier.

The most important thing was the quantity. A bundle had as many as a thousand arrows, which one person could not hold with both arms.

One of the arrows fell to the ground, and Lily picked it up. When she saw the armor-piercing arrowhead on it, she was stunned.

Armor-piercing arrows were specially made to break through the enemy's armor and had extremely strong penetrating power.

Armor-piercing arrows were thinner and longer than ordinary cone-shaped arrows, and they were shaped like a cross-blade. Therefore, the resistance when penetrating armor was very small, and with a strong bow, they could easily pierce armor.

If used against infantry who were not wearing armor, they could even penetrate three people with one arrow, which shows how powerful they were.

Moreover, armor-piercing arrows also had a three-sided pyramid shape. This type of arrow caused more damage when shot into the human body than the cross-blade arrow.

Lily had specifically studied this knowledge before becoming a crossbowman.

This kind of armor-piercing arrow was extremely powerful, but it had a fatal flaw, that is, it was expensive to manufacture. An armor-piercing arrowhead was worth ten of the three-sided arrowheads they usually used.

However, now, all the arrows in front of them were armor-piercing arrows.

Lily's heart was full of doubts. She carefully examined the arrowhead in her hand and soon discovered the clue. These armor-piercing arrowheads were very rough, and the arrowheads had not even been polished.

Lily wondered, "These arrowheads are made so rough."

A comrade next to Lily heard her words and came over to take a look.

"Maybe time is tight, and there's no time for fine polishing," the comrade said.

"But won't this affect the armor-piercing effect?" Lily still didn't understand.

The reason why armor-piercing arrows were expensive, in addition to the special design, the fine manufacturing process was also to ensure their stability and lethality when penetrating armor.

At this time, their squad leader, Willen, walked over.

"You are discussing these arrowheads."

Willen looked at the arrowhead in Lily's hand, "This is the strategy from above. Although these arrowheads are rough, on the battlefield, quantity is sometimes more important than quality."

"But Captain, can these rough arrowheads pierce armor?" Lily asked.

"Yes," Willen explained, "Our crossbows are powerful enough, even if the arrowheads are rougher, they can penetrate the thick armor of the beastmen at close range. Moreover, the main target of these arrowheads is not those high-level beastmen. It is enough to deal with low-level beastmen."

After listening to the squad leader's explanation, Lily still had some doubts in her heart, but she understood a little.

She looked at the piles of armor-piercing arrows and couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of war.

In normal times, this kind of expensive and precise weapon is difficult to use on a large scale, but on this battlefield of life and death, the manufacturing method can be changed for strategic purposes, and quantity can be used to win.

"Anyway, it's good as long as we can shoot and kill those hateful beastmen," another comrade said. Everyone nodded in agreement.

The sappers sent ten large bundles of long armor-piercing arrows into the huge wooden box and began to do the final inspection.

Then auxiliary soldiers sent up the armor-piercing arrows to be used by the crossbowmen, which were a size smaller than the armor-piercing arrows in the wooden box.

However, the quantity was ten times that of the past, which surprised them at the empire's reserves for this battlefield.

In the beastman barracks, the goblins who had been summoned were formed into small teams.

The goblin leaders were conveying orders to them.

"Listen, we are going to charge at the human fortresses. If anyone retreats, they will be killed by the beastmen," the goblin leaders threatened.

Although the goblins were afraid in their hearts, they could only bite the bullet and go.

"As long as we can break through these fortresses, the men inside will be our food, and the women will become our breeding tools," the goblin leaders said, covering their waists and constantly making thrusting movements, eliciting cheers from the goblins.

Compared to food, women made them even more fanatical.

As the drums sounded, the second attack of the beastmen was about to begin.

The human army was on high alert, and the soldiers were both nervous and excited.

They knew that this would be a difficult battle, but they also believed that under the command of His Highness the Crown Prince,

They will surely win again.

Jack clenched the sword in his hand, his palms full of sweat.

He looked ahead and prayed silently in his heart.

Turan was next to him, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him an encouraging look.

On the side of the Northwest Mage Corps, Allen and the other mages stood together, ready to cast spells at any time. Their eyes were full of determination.

Sauron stood on a high place in the camp, overlooking the entire battlefield.

With a sound of the horn, the beastmen's attack began.

Hordes of goblins surged towards the fortress like a tide,

They were numerous and looked very scary. The entire front of the battlefield was full of short goblins.

The rough number should be hundreds of thousands, continuous, and it is possible to say that it is a million scale.

The crossbowmen on the fortress began to shoot.

Lily skillfully nocked the arrow, drew the bow, and shot the arrow. Her movements were done in one go.

"Charge! Don't be afraid!" the goblin leaders shouted from behind, but the morale of the goblins had begun to decline.

In the beastman army, Tamiro looked at the goblin's attack and frowned.

He knew very well that these goblins would probably be difficult to break through the human defense line.

Their goal is to consume the human army's arrows.

"Let our heavy infantry prepare. Once the goblins open a gap, we will rush up," Tamiro ordered.

Fartu and Kalong stood next to him, their expressions also very serious.

On the side of the Imperial Army, Sauron saw that the goblin's attack began to slow down, and he immediately issued an order: "Northwest Mage Corps, attack!"

Allen and the other mages began to cast spells.

The earthen wall began to change. Some earthen walls suddenly protruded sharp earthen thorns, piercing the goblin group.

This sudden attack made the goblins even more panicked.

"Keep shooting! Don't stop!" the commander on the fortress shouted.

Lily's arm was already a little sore, but she still insisted on shooting. There was no trace of retreat in her eyes.

In this battle, every little person is playing their role.

Tom prayed for the soldiers in the city, hoping that they could return safely;

John worked overtime in the blacksmith shop to make arrowheads to ensure the supply of arrows:

Allen worked hard on the battlefield to cast spells, contributing his strength to the victory;

Lily bravely shot and killed the enemy on the fortress.
