Super Game System-Otherworld King: Rise to Power

She gently closed her eyes.

Perhaps in the next moment, she would reunite with her parents. This desperate, lingering existence would finally come to an end.

Suddenly, a sharp sound broke the silence.

Clink!

She instinctively opened her eyes.

A figure appeared in front of her—dressed in full armor, riding a snow-white steed, blocking her path.

"Little lady, are you alright?"

The knight on horseback extended his hand, offering her a gentle smile. His voice, soft and melodious, was like music to her ears.

"I..."

She wanted to speak, to thank him, but when the words left her mouth, she realized her voice was trembling.

Unknowingly, tears had already begun streaming down her face.

Ronald sighed softly upon seeing this.

He quickly scooped up the brother and sister, handing the younger boy to the side to the female general, Fan Qingyue.

The girl struggled nervously in Ronald's arms.

"Don't worry."

He gently patted her shoulder and reassured her.

"Qingyue, send someone to comfort the refugees."

"Liu Long, form up, prepare for battle!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

On the vast plains, over two hundred fully armored soldiers lined up in a perfect row, standing firm as a wall between the human refugees and the oncoming enemy.

In the distance, over ten thousand marauders of various races, having failed their first charge, were now lining up in retaliation.

"Big Boss Mo, it's that kid from yesterday!"

The Demon Tribe leader sneered. "Overconfident fools!"

"Are all our men here?"

The Goblin leader turned and asked, counting his troops. "We have over ten thousand brothers ready to charge."

"Good!"

The Demon Tribe leader roared. "Charge! Time to net them all!"

"Kill!"

With a battle cry, the marauders surged forward, believing that the less than three hundred human cavalrymen ahead would be nothing more than easy prey.

Liu Long, seeing them within range, yelled, "Fire!"

Whoosh!

A barrage of arrows shot through the air.

The cries of the enemy filled the air as the marauders were knocked off their horses, thrown into disarray.

"Archers, shoot! Push forward!"

The marauder commanders ordered frantically.

However, their arrows scattered and missed the mark, failing to match the deadly precision of the elite human forces.

Clink, clink, clink...

After several clear, metallic sounds, the marauders' eyes widened in disbelief. The human soldiers, who should've fallen under their attack, were standing untouched!

The Demon Tribe leader's eyes grew wide with shock. "What?! They're wearing ordinary armor?!"

Their arrows had failed to pierce the human's defenses!

"These... are ordinary armors! How could they—?!"

The soldiers of the elite human force had recently taken special medicine to enhance their strength. Half of them had reached body-refining stage, and the following potent pills had further boosted their power.

"Second volley, fire!"

Within moments, the second barrage of arrows was launched.

Ahhh!

The screams of the marauders echoed as the arrows shredded through their weak leather armor. How could they withstand the might of ordinary iron-tipped arrows?

After two volleys, over a hundred marauders had already fallen.

"These humans are no ordinary foes! Charge, now!"

A marauder leader roared in frustration.

"Fire flat shots, go!"

Whoosh!

A row of arrows flew swiftly, their deadly force aimed directly at the human soldiers. Despite a slightly shorter range, their power was immense. With the might of their archers' strength, one arrow pierced through a marauder's chest and continued through two more, pinning a fourth man to the ground.

"AHHH! What kind of arrows are these?!"

The marauder commanders watching from a distance were left stunned, their faces contorted with disbelief. Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that a mere group of humans could unleash such powerful arrows.

"Is this... even human?"
