After speaking, Aaron didn't glance back at Alice or Fiona.
Instead, his eyes locked onto the battlefield below.
He noticed something peculiar the undead whose skulls were cracked collapsed instantly.
To verify his theory, he drew another arrow and aimed precisely at a skeleton's head.
It was effortless for him.
The arrow flew true, shattering the skull with a clean strike.
The skeleton crumbled on the spot.
At the same time, he opened the map and checked his stats. He found that an additional 10 experience points had been added. Seeing this, he confirmed that only by shattering a skeleton's skull could he kill it.
Alice and Fiona, gritting their teeth, once again fired arrows toward the undead.
From the side, Aaron added calmly,
"You both need to relax. It's not like the undead will jump directly onto the city wall. And they're not unkillable. Just aim for the head, it'll crumble to dust."
With that, he resumed shooting, ignoring the girls.
This was a rare opportunity to farm experience points, he couldn't afford to waste time comforting them.
Alice and Fiona realized Aaron's words made sense.
Since the undead couldn't scale the city walls, this was the perfect moment to overcome their fear.
They steadied themselves and began shooting again.
Just then, Aaron noticed something troubling, the front row of undead were soldiers, but behind them stood archers.
His eyes narrowed.
He immediately shouted,
"Watch out for arrows!"
A loud trumpet blast followed.
The soldiers on the wall quickly took cover.
Alice and Fiona ducked behind the barricades as well.
But Aaron remained standing, still firing at the undead.
It was like a race against time.
Arrows flew toward him, twenty, maybe thirty.
But they were slow, shot by ordinary skeletons.
To Aaron, they posed a little threat.
He shot down three more undead soldiers, then took a massive leap into the air, dodging the arrows mid-flight.
Landing smoothly back on the wall, he continued his assault.
Moria, hidden nearby to protect Miss Alice, watched Aaron's movements closely.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself,
"Why does it look like Aaron has some deep enmity with skeletons? But I have to admit… his shooting skills are exceptional. Every shot takes down a soldier with ease."
Aaron, on the other hand, didn't have time to care about anyone else.
He was thrilled, in just three to four minutes, he had already accumulated over 2,000 experience points.
His breathing was heavy.
He knew this kind of opportunity was once in a lifetime.
Previously, he had to fish for an entire day just to earn 1,200 experience points, and even then, he had to be extremely cautious.
But now, each skeleton was a walking bundle of experience.
They could be killed quickly, and no one would suspect anything unusual.
At most, people might think he had some strange fetish or deep enmity with skeletons.
He noticed the soldiers had resumed shooting, so he positioned himself next to a box of arrows and continued firing rapidly.
He knew the horde wouldn't last long, already, the number of skeleton warriors had dropped by one-tenth.
He had to speed up.
Nearby, the soldiers began to notice something strange.
The arrows near Aaron were disappearing far too quickly.
One soldier swallowed hard and nudged his companion.
"Hey, look at that guy next to Miss Alice."
"Is he even human… or a monster?"
All they could see was Aaron pulling arrows straight from the box and firing without even aiming.
As archers themselves, they could barely trace his shots.
But they could clearly see the undead falling one after another.
They swallowed again, stunned.
A few minutes later, Aaron touched the box and realized it was empty.
Without hesitation, he scanned the area and spotted another one.
He turned to a nearby soldier and said,
"Bring me another box of arrows here."
Alice and Fiona, watching from behind, were stunned by Aaron's performance.
They had finally overcome their fear and were no longer trembling like before.
Fiona whispered,
"Miss… it looks like Sir Aaron might have some deep enmity with skeletons."
Alice nodded slowly.
She could see it too, Aaron's focus was absolute.
He was shooting and killing the undead like an emotionless machine, as if every arrow was a personal vendetta.
Time passed.
It had been fifteen minutes since the undead had invaded.
Aaron's face was drenched in sweat, his eyes bloodshot, and his breathing slightly disordered.
But he kept shooting, relentless and focused.
Beside him, three boxes of arrows had already been emptied.
The soldiers around him watched in awe.
They had never seen anyone shoot continuously with such precision and stamina.
Suddenly, a loud trumpet echoed across the battlefield.
Moments later, the sound of the city gate opening followed.
Aaron frowned.
He could feel it, the skeletons were getting harder to kill with arrows alone.
The ones remaining were all above level 5, and among them, he spotted giant skeletons wielding massive maces, charging toward the city gate.
The sudden shift startled him.
Those giants had stood motionless until now.
Why were they attacking only at this moment?
Before he could dwell on it, two figures clad in full metal armor clashed with the skeletal giants.
What stunned Aaron was that they were able to hold their ground, matching the undead titans blow for blow.
Around him, the soldiers began to chatter:
"Finally, Captain Dolo and Molo took action."
"With them joining the fight, the cavalry will move soon too."
"Now we can finally relax."
"My hands are bleeding, I need to get them bandaged."
"I got grazed on the shoulder even though I was hiding. Looks like I'm coming with you."
Aaron hardly paid attention to the chatter around him.
He continued shooting relentlessly.
He knew he couldn't take out the undead with a single shot anymore.
So he simply aimed at the same spot twice.
With his precision and speed, he could still harvest experience points efficiently.
Suddenly, he heard the thunderous sound of horses marching.
His heart grew anxious.
From the map, he could tell they were cavalry.
And once they entered close range, it would be much harder to farm undead.
