Seeing as the interiors were relatively settled, Jake decided to block as many enemy entryways as he could.
Jake ran around the perimeter soon seeing where the enemies were getting in. It was obviously in those areas without a sentry, and they simply made ladders. Or more accurately, climbable ladders, like those scaffoldings in construction sites.
However, it was obviously weak due to the rush, seeing as how it shook even if they were going in groups of ten or less. However, those who got in would wait along the interior side of the wall to form bigger groups before attacking.
By the size of those groups and their average levels, they’d definitely be wreaking havoc. By estimate, the average level was level 9 or even 10.
How could people around level 6 fight against them?
To be honest, if the Alterrans weren’t here, he couldn’t see how they’d win this war at all!
Jake got close enough to see the events clearly. However, he stopped after a distance so he wouldn’t be so visible that he’d be attacked immediately.
Although his level was much higher, he’d probably get injured if he got mobbed—especially when all he could do was defend.
He leaned down a bit to make himself less obvious. He focused his sights on the scaffolding-thing, studying the best place to hit.
Using his ability, he added one little bump under one leg. He then added several spikes around it. It couldn’t have gone unnoticed of course, but before the people who noticed could react, the scaffolding cracked and imploded into itself.
"Shaky!"
"GYAAAA!!!"
"HOLD IT DOWN!"
"AHHH!"
BANG!
The scaffolding fell down with a bang, making those climbing up fall down on their faces.
Hehehhe. Who said they need aggressive skills to help out?
Of course, a little fall was nothing.
After all, the wall was only 3 meters tall. Although no one could scale the walls, it was estimated that powerhouses could just jump over them. There was no such powerhouse here, but such a fall wouldn’t be able to kill too many people.
There were also people who got stabbed, yelling like pigs being slaughtered. This also confirmed the fact that they wouldn’t be punished if they used their abilities to indirectly hurt people, and would thus be reported to the others so they could maximize it.
As for the group of dozens already inside, he threw giant rocks at them. It was not to hit, but to make them run. He would rain down a lot of rocks and they would head in a direction to avoid them.
"What’s going on?"
"Run!"
"It’s an elementalist!"
"Where?!"
"How would I know?! Ah!! Just run—"
Jake chuckled as he ran along the battlement, having fun making the enemies run like this. He made sure they were squeezed closely together as they reached the scope of the sentry.
Fortunately, there were a number of them and some were within range of the sentries. Without warning, strong arrows cut through the air, killing or seriously injuring an enemy.
"AHHH!"
"WHAT!?"
"When did we reach the sentries—ah!!"
The dude who fell inside screamed. "WHAT IN THE ORCSHIT?!"
Jake admired his work only for a second, continuously shielding the civilians who needed it. freewёbnoνel.com
He would also push a few he could to the paths of sentries (this area was close to one), using them to take a few more lives.
This went on for several minutes until someone finally noticed the aberration.
"Someone’s making trouble!" he yelled. It seemed like the captain of this team. He narrowed his eyes, looking around. He saw where most of the damage was done and he soon zoned in on him.
"OVER THERE!"
"It’s an elementalist!?"
"It’s a strong one, too!" Another added, taking note of how many rocks and spikes had appeared around them.
This got many of them afraid. Jake smirked and took advantage, making several rocks float around him.
He would use it to scare and imbalance, letting their victims either run away or even land a few allowable hits. He also used the sentries to kill a few, which was honestly his favorite move so far.
The team lead though, had been through many wars, and was relatively quick on his feet. After a few attacks, he realized something.
"But he’s not attacking harshly! He might be over the level cap!" he yelled. This made sense because he was really too powerful!
"ATTACK HIM! He can’t do the same to you!" They yelled and swarm of enemies decided to focus on him instead.
Jake twitched as he watched the mob run towards him, intending to take advantage of his limitations.
Ah, darnit!
