"Raise the shields!" Duran ordered.
A moment later, a blue dome of light rose and covered their entire army.
The attack earlier had taken them by surprise, so he immediately ordered everyone to go on full defense to prevent more people from dying.
Little did he know that this precaution was nothing in front of Otto's special ability. The Horizon Archer's attack could bypass all kinds of defenses, including magical shields and barriers.
The only downside was that his attacks would be fifty percent of their full might. Still, that was more than enough to make Duran understand that even behind a shield, they were not safe from his attacks!
As if to make this point glaringly obvious, Otto targeted the flagbearer holding the Black Tortoise General's banner.
Duran only heard a muffled grunt from his flagbearer before the latter collapsed on the ground, his chest pierced by a crossbow bolt the size of a spear.
