"Speed up and charge forward! Charge quickly!" The tribal leader in the rear shouted hoarsely, urging the warriors to advance quickly.
Indeed, the enemy isn't far ahead, rush forward to engage them, and they won't be able to shoot arrows anymore... The warriors began to charge desperately, yet while speeding up, they also tightly shielded their head and chest with their wooden shields.
The sudden changes by the Brochi warriors had no impact on Valerius. After the first round of crossbow arrows was shot, he raised the red flag again: "Crossbowmen, prepare!"
The front row crossbowmen immediately handed their crossbows to their comrades behind them, while receiving another already strung and loaded crossbow.
"Fire arrows!" At Valerius's command, the front row crossbowmen pulled the trigger once again, unleashing a rain of arrows pouring down the hillside.
