Whoosh!
Without another word, Ethan shot a wind arrow straight at the witch!
But just as Ethan had expected, before the wind arrow even had a chance to reach the witch, she flicked her hand and knocked it straight to the ground.
Even the enchantment on the wind arrow did not have time to activate, it was interrupted just like that.
'So this is the power of a witch?'
"Hahaha!"
The witches riding broomsticks in the air burst out laughing, "You dare use such cheap tricks against us? Are you seriously underestimating us witches?"
"Didn't this little lord already try once before?"
"He really thought we witches were blind, thinking that if he fired an arrow casually in the dark, we wouldn't see it!"
"If I'd known, I should have cast a return curse and let him taste the power of that wind arrow himself!"
"Marin, that's a great idea. Hahaha!"
The witches laughed loudly again.
But while they were mocking Ethan, he had already slipped into the villa. By the time they realized and wanted to deal with him again, the leading witch, Marin, flew into a rage.
"Where did he go?"
"Where did that damned bug run off to?"
"Sister Marin, it looks like he ran into the villa," said a younger witch, Margaret, "But it doesn't matter. With a simple reveal spell, I can make him nowhere to hide!"
"Jibber! Jabber! Jibber jabber!!"
After speaking, Margaret immediately chanted a long string of spells, then pointed toward the villa.
However, to the witches' surprise, there was no light at all inside the villa.
Normally, someone hit by a reveal spell should burst into dazzling light all over their body in an instant. So why was there no reaction inside the villa at all?
"Could it be that this building has magic resistance?", Margaret asked, puzzled.
But the leading witch, Marin, snorted at her words.
"A tiny little lord, living in a house with magic resistance? What are you thinking?"
"He must be using some kind of invisibility item or invisibility magic!"
"Since he refuses to come out, I'll level this lousy villa of his and kill all his servants. I don't believe he still won't come out then!"
Witch Marin let out a cold laugh, then she began chanting an extremely long spell in midair.
At that moment—
The instant Ethan shot that wind arrow, he never had any illusion that a single arrow could take down a witch.
After all, wilderness witches could be considered high level monsters in this world.
And he had not even reached level 2 as a lord yet.
Fighting witches head on, that would be nothing but throwing his life away.
So, the moment he fired the wind arrow, his goal was very clear. Run.
Once the arrow was fired, he did not look at the result, did not care whether it hit or not, and immediately turned around and fled.
After rushing into the villa, he put on the invisibility cloak to first avoid the witches' attention. After that, if he could force a fight, he would try. If not, then he would have no choice but to abandon the villa and find another place to start over.
Living like a nobody was still better than dying.
Besides, Ethan believed that with his abilities, making a comeback would not be too hard.
Sure enough, just as he expected, these witches were not only incredibly strong defensively, making it impossible for wind arrows to hit them, but even trying to escape right under their noses was no easy task.
Just now… The moment Ethan ran downstairs, a powerful and dazzling light suddenly burst out from inside his invisibility cloak.
But fortunately, this invisibility cloak was truly awesome.
Because it actually blocked the light from leaking out, though it almost blinded Ethan himself.
"Meow!"
"Screech!"
Daji and the white eagle were both on full alert.
The fur on both pets nearly stood on end as they stared at the witches in the sky.
Meanwhile, Ethan hid in the cafeteria, handing out ten dragonbone bows to the archers and scouts, while also granting them the Precision skill and ordering them to use it immediately.
Then he distributed some enchanted arrows to them as well.
At this moment, he no longer cared about wasting resources.
If they could not stop the witches' attack, they were all doomed anyway.
Since that was the case, whatever high level arrows they had, use them all.
Immediately after, Ethan issued orders to all his people.
"All units listen up. Archers and scouts, aim at the witches and fire!"
"Supports, chant spells. Cast Taunt on the witches, and cast Inspire on the warriors!"
"Axe soldiers and fearless warriors, scatter in all directions and create chaos!"
"Move, now!"
"Yes, Lord!"
Everyone responded.
Then five archers and five scouts shot arrows into the sky at the same time.
Five wind arrows and five fire arrows streaked upward together. At that moment, Ethan also fired three splitting arrows in succession.
Using splitting arrows to create the illusion of countless arrows, applying psychological pressure on the witches.
In that instant, an arrow rain filled the sky, and Marin, who had been chanting her spell, was immediately thrown off rhythm.
But that did not mean she could be harmed, after only frowning slightly, Marin waved her hand.
At once, a massive protective shield appeared beneath her.
All the arrows struck the shield, unable to break through it at all, only causing it to flicker a few times.
The wind arrows triggered a violent tornado upon hitting the shield.
The fire arrows burst into flames.
The tornado wrapped in fire instantly formed a huge fire tornado, rising upward and burning continuously against the shield. Yet the shield merely flickered a few times, emitting a faint blue glow.
There was no sign of it disappearing or breaking at all.
As for the splitting arrows, the moment the main arrow struck the shield, it lost its ability to split, fell straight down from midair, and upon hitting the ground, reverted into an ordinary arrow.
This was probably the drawback of splitting arrows. Although they could split infinitely according to the number of targets when fired. Once they were obstructed, or when facing a single target, they instantly lost their advantage.
"Hehehehe!"
Margaret suddenly laughed, "Didn't I tell you already?"
"With tricks like this, little lord, you should really stop embarrassing yourself!"
"Our Sister Marin is the strongest witch in the wilderness. Forget attacks of your level, even a grand archmage's attack could be easily neutralized by my Sister Marin—AHHH!"
And at that moment—
Margaret was suddenly stabbed in the back.
