So Close Yet So Far

Seeing fifty archers taking aim and letting loose their arrows, the crowd suddenly felt that their hearts had taken too much punishment in the past two days. Not only was this move especially cruel, it was nigh impossible to dodge.

As things stood now, Ryu only had about a three meters radius of movement space around him. Even this much was in part a product of his expert use of his glaive, ensuring that his opponents didn't get too close, and in part due to his enemies also using medium ranged weapons.

Ryu's brows furrowed. If he took the time to deal with these arrows, the Qi Refinement experts definitely wouldn't take this lying down. Although Ryu didn't believe restricting such experts in this way was the best use of their abilities, he had to admit that the fact they were bound by military law essentially guaranteed that they would dive head first into this sort of suicidal action. Even if it meant taking several arrows head on, they would continue to charge forward.
