With a large number of wooden spears thrown at the camp, the battlefield situation quickly tilted towards the rat men again. After paying a heavy price, the Hammer Knights barely rescued the wounded who were pressed under the horses, but those who were hit by the wooden spears

The horses that were shot had no choice but to leave them where they were. The injured and uninjured horses that had been rescued were gathered together near the bonfire, and those who could still move held their shields around the bonfire to form a defense.

"How many of these guys are there?"

With a sword, he pierced the native rat-men who were rushing towards him. Jack asked a question that everyone wanted to ask. Although it was not certain how many rat-men there were in the darkness, judging from the number of wooden spears fired,

Counting the native ratmen participating in close combat, the number of these attackers is at least fifty. This is a terrifying number, because so far, nearly ten people have been lost, and they can be confirmed to have been killed.

There are only twenty native ratmen. It seems that the battle loss ratio of one to two is very impressive, especially since most of the human side only temporarily loses combat effectiveness due to injuries, but don't forget that there are more than thirty people present.

But they are all elite knights of the Knights of the Hammer and the best of the Frost Guards. Only with such a team level can they achieve such a battle loss ratio, especially several consecutive planned attacks, which put these native ratmen in danger.

Increased impatience.

"No, there is something wrong with these native rat people." Since the release of the vine spell, Cheese has been forced to protect the rear of the battlefield. The mage who has lost the ability to move one arm is too easy to be in danger on the battlefield with wooden spears flying around.

, neither the Frost Guard nor Heather could take this risk. And thanks to this, the mage once again observed something abnormal.

"The only problem with them is that they are ridiculously strong and there are ridiculously many of them!" Even Heather couldn't help but say aloud after using a sword to separate a flying wooden tenon.

"The power of these wooden spears is wrong. The first wooden spear instantly penetrated a warrior wearing armor. But look at these throwing spears now. They can be separated by just blocking with a sword. Their power is too weak!

"

In fact, it doesn’t take a mage to say it, everyone present can feel this. After all, the sound of the first wooden tenon flying out in the darkness is too scary. If the attack intensity of every wooden spear is like that,

The people present may have been shot into hedgehogs a long time ago. But if you understand clearly, it is another matter to figure out what this means on the ever-changing battlefield. Although warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles can quickly rely on their combat experience.

Insert into the enemy's weakness, but that is based on facing opponents of the same type. If you want to find the enemy's weakness in the first battle and at an absolute disadvantage, both Heather and Mona can do it.

No. But luckily, cheese is fine.

"What do you mean?" the female warrior asked, knowing that the mage's next answer might very well change the outcome of this battle.

"I think there should be a special individual among these native rat-men. It is it that leads these rat-men to make feint attacks, and it is also it that throws the first extremely powerful wooden spear!" Cheese shouted loudly.

replied.

"You mean guys who look like those big cavemen?" The female knight commander quickly reacted. Thinking of the cavemen she had fought with before, Cheese's guess was very likely.

"But what can we do if we know it? This leader is much more cunning than those fools who can only dig holes." The "monkey" tried to fight back with a bow and arrow, but the darkness outside the fire made it impossible to know whether it would be effective.

.

"By the way, do you still have the kind of stone you used in the cave?" Elsa thought of the lighting method that Cheese had used in the cave before. In such an open environment, the lighting range of torches and light stones

In fact, the former may be larger, so no one has thought about letting cheese make that kind of lighting stone.

After hearing what the landlady said, Cheese also thought of using lighting stones as a way to guide the way, so he quickly rummaged through his pockets to find the materials to make lighting stones.

"I found it, I can make two more!" the mage said, lighting up one of the lighting stones with one hand with a skillful technique.

Heather and the others have never seen a mage make this kind of lighting tool before, and naturally they don't know its use. In her opinion, this kind of light stone is indeed a good lighting equipment, but it is not enough to expand their current lighting range.

This problem also stumped Cheese and Elsa. Although they now have a lighting stone, if the mage ignites the entire stone at once like last time, it will certainly illuminate the surrounding environment, but the strong light will also

If it affects the warriors on one's side, even if they find the leading ratman, it is impossible to kill them in the short lighting time. And once the enemy has a sense of crisis, given the opponent's cunning, he may not be able to kill him again.

A second chance for humanity.

Just when the situation reached a deadlock again, the mage saw the bow and arrow in Jack's hand.

"I thought of a way!" Cheese shouted.

"Monkey, Heather, I need your help."

The two people called by the mage temporarily withdrew from the battle circle and retreated to the mage's side, waiting for cheese's instructions.

"Listen, the reason why gray phosphorus glows is because it burns. I used to heat it in one breath and let it burn out in a very short time to produce strong light. But this time, I will try to use a stronger

Heating it at a low temperature, no, maybe igniting it is more appropriate." Cheese said something very fast that neither of them understood.

"Anyway, Heather, I need you to wrap this stone with a piece of cloth and throw it into the pile of ratmen. The guy in charge should be in the densest place where the wooden spear is thrown. Then, Jack, I want you to

Use a bow and arrow to shoot this stone. Remember, you must shoot it above the rat crowd. I will enchant your arrow so that it can detonate gray phosphorite. The fragments after the explosion can provide us with

A longer view. Got it?”

After both of them nodded to express their understanding, Cheese handed the lighted lighting stone in his hand to Heather. The female knight captain observed it for a while, took aim at the native ratmen's position, and waited for the next command.

"Elsa, I want to enchant Jack's arrows, you give the order." The mage stood next to the archer and said to the boss's wife.

Although Elsa has not participated in the Frost Guard's military operations before, she also understands that she must stand up now. What's more, Cheese is willing to trust her at this critical moment, which in itself makes the boss lady full of determination.

"Okay, I understand. Huh..., three! Two! One! Throw!" Taking a breath, Elsa gave the throwing command.

The lighting stone wrapped in a strip of cloth was thrown into the air by Heather with the last shout, like a star of hope rising from the ground. The "monkey"'s eyes followed the meteor as it moved.

When the stone flew to a certain point in the air, the archer opened his hunting bow, and the arrows on the bow that had been enchanted by the mage flashed with a dark red light.

The hand loosened, the string moved, and the arrow came out! All in just a moment, the arrow with everyone's hope flew towards the lighting stone. However, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the arrow trembled slightly in the air, clashing with the falling lighting stone.

The stone was missed. The lighting stone hit the ground and soon lost its light.

"****" A foul language with northern characteristics came out of Jack's mouth. He had always had great confidence in his archery skills. The mistake at the critical moment made the son of Orion quite a bit worried.

Angry from shame.

"Don't be afraid, there is another one here." Although Cheese also regretted this failure, the mage knew that now was not the time to discuss the mistake, so he quickly lit up the remaining gray phosphorite and handed it to Heather again.

The female knight captain took over this last hope. She looked at Elsa who was in charge of the order and signaled that she was ready. The boss lady received the knight's signal and asked the mage and archer. After receiving the signal of being ready, she deeply felt

Take a breath.

"Three! Two! One! Throw!" The second command sounded, and another lighting stone was thrown at the rat man.

Following another extremely loud sound, an arrow with red light traced a perfect trajectory in the night sky and accurately hit the lighting stone.

"Hit!" At this moment, everyone present couldn't help but exclaimed. Immediately afterwards, the lighting stone that was shattered in the air bloomed with a strong light due to the enchanted arrow, and it instantly ignited the wrapped cloth.

, the light produced by the burning revealed the appearance of the rat men hiding in the darkness.

"There! There are two of them!" The sharp-eyed knight saw through the burning dust two incompatible existences among the native rat-men. One of them was extremely tall, about twice as tall as the average rat-men, and even though their thick arms were full

Even the black fur cannot hide its terrifying power. It seems that it was this rat man who threw the fatal wooden tenon. The existence of another alternative rat man was beyond the cheese's previous expectations.

There is also a gray-haired rat-man on one side of the giant rat-man. Its fur color is grayish-white, and its body is thinner than the ordinary rat-man. It looks like Gloria who has been stabilized and mutated. However, although it stands there

Next to the giant rat man, its presence is no less than that of the latter. This gray-haired rat man has a pair of narrow eyes. Just by seeing it from a distance, Cheese knew that the commander of these rat men must be

This rat-man has something in his green eyes that the mage has never seen in the eyes of other native rat-men - wisdom.

"I'll take care of the big one, Frost, and you take care of the gray-haired one!" Heather drew out her knight's sword and rushed out of the defensive circle single-handedly.

Mona and Jack were not far behind. They also caught up with the female knight captain with weapons in hand. At the same time, three more knights followed as cover.

"For the Hammer!" The familiar war cry sounded again earth-shatteringly.

As if in response to the friendly forces, the two people charging ahead and Elsa also shouted.

"For the Frost Legion!"

Seeing that the night was coming to an end, this fierce battle was about to come to an end. Cheese seemed to be infected by the atmosphere of the battlefield. Although he did not shout any slogans, this was the first time he felt a flame in his heart.
