"Boom!" The rat troll charged past, disrupting the human line. The already demoralized soldiers fled in all directions.
Thousands of rats rush through the streets, through houses, and over fences. These hungry and greedy slave rats can't wait to enjoy a feast of flesh and blood.
Slave rats are the humblest class in the entire Skaven society. These rat people with an average height of 1.0 meters are the lowest class and the largest group in the entire Skaven society. The life of slave rats is very cruel, but fortunately they are also very
Short-term. The food supply in rat society is so short that it is a normal way of life for rat people to eat rat people. Every day of every rat person's life is a fierce struggle for survival. Once a slave rat is exposed to some weakness or wounds,
, waiting for it is to be swarmed by other slave rats and devoured into dregs.
If a slave rat can barely survive countless battles and killings, it may be promoted to a clan rat, which is somewhat similar to the serfs in Britannia. However, the vast majority of slave rats usually end up being slaughtered.
All.
"Kill! Kill, kill!" The rat tide is attacking the fragile humans. The refugees who barely hold some weapons in their hands are retreating steadily. There are too many rat people. Many refugees have just killed a rat. The next second
We have to face the three attacking rat men at the same time, kill three more rat men, and there are countless more rat men behind them.
There is simply no way to kill them all!
As the fighting progressed, the morale of the refugees and militiamen was approaching collapse. Many people tried to escape, only to be overwhelmed by the rat tide.
However, some people also showed great courage in such desperate situations.
"Kill! Kill all the rats!" A middle-aged man held up an old spear and pierced the belly of a clan rat. The large spurt of blood aroused his ferocity. This originally
The honest yeoman burned with terrible anger.
The family is gone, the relatives are gone, the property is gone!
"Damn rats! I'm not done with you!!!" Many refugees had similar thoughts, and endless grief and indignation filled their hearts. Not only did these people not have the slightest idea of giving up, but they all wanted to kill one to save money and kill two.
Crazy to earn one, he fought an endless battle with the rat men.
"Fight!" The imperial captain held a halberd and swept continuously. A large group of ratmen fell in front of him. The demon hunter even attacked with a thin sword. They never gave up!
"Fireball!" In the middle of the battlefield, in a hurry, Veronica raised her staff to cast the spell. The magic power of Yuntini's staff gathered and once again formed a fireball the size of a basin. Veronica's sweet almond eyes were filled with tears.
It was violent. The Gloria Witch raised her hand, and the scorching flame threads billowed in the air: "Go!"
The huge fireball technique dragged out a long trail and went straight towards the rat troll that was wreaking havoc among the crowd!
Veronica panted slightly, her mana reserves were greatly reduced due to continuous casting of spells, and the Witch of Gloriosa set her sights on the Rat Troll.
The rat troll naturally discovered the fireball rushing towards it. This huge monster was bulky and unable to dodge. It immediately made a decision, that is, to resist the fireball!
This monster, created using the evil technology of the Skaven, raised its hands to forcefully resist the fireball.
"Boom!" The entire fireball technique hit the rat troll head-on, and the erupting heat wave drowned the monster and the rat people near it.
"Did it succeed?" Veronica narrowed her eyes, and the Gloria Witch was preparing to release the next spell.
"Ho~ho!!!" The roar of the rat troll came from the blast of air. This terrifying monster withstood Veronica's fireball head-on! It stood up on its feet in a mighty manner, and was burned.
There was a shallow wound on the charred right arm, and the wound was still burning, but this did not affect its activities. The monster roared and rushed directly towards Veronica!
Veronica then chanted the Fire Shield to resist the attack of the rat troll, but the rat troll didn't give her a chance. It moved quickly on all fours and knocked away the two halberdiers blocking the road with one slap.
, in the blink of an eye, the rat troll had rushed in front of Veronica, and slapped her with a huge slap.
"Fire Shield!" Witch Gloria immediately tore open the scroll and formed a flame shield in front of her.
The rat troll ignored the shield. On the contrary, it kicked off the ground with both feet and jumped directly over the shield.
Rat trolls are not stupid.
"Damn!" Veronica was halfway through casting the spell, and the witch was forced to stop casting. Just as she turned around, she was met with a big slap from the rat troll: "Bang~"
Veronica was slapped by the monster and flew away, hit a wall hard and fell to the ground.
"Hmm~" There were tears on Veronica's fiery red leather coat. The witch vomited out a mouthful of blood. The feeling of broken internal organs tore at her nerves. Her whole body felt pain as if it had been displaced. She suspected that her ribs were broken.
The pearl jewelry on her body was glowing, and the warm power protected Veronica's body. The witch knew that this was a gift from Ryan's biological father, and she reluctantly got up relying on the power conveyed by the jewelry.
The ground is shaking, the rat troll is coming again!
This monster rushed in front of Veronica, raised its foot, and was about to crush her head.
Veronica also took out her long sword and prepared to fight the rat troll!
"For the lady!" At this moment, an angry shout came from behind the rat troll.
A sharp sword burning with flames penetrated the rat troll's chest from behind. The monster cried out in pain and covered its chest. The sharp sword was pulled out from its back. When it was slashed again, it cut out the rat troll's ribs.
There was a huge wound with bone deep inside.
The rat troll screamed and retreated. The sword edge penetrated deeply into its back. The sacred power contained in it was dissolving its existence and life in a way that the rat troll could not understand. The following words
The two swords inflicted heavy damage on the rat troll, which forced the monster to give up the prey in front of him and turn around to deal with the new enemy.
This is a female knight wearing fine vibranium plate armor. Her long golden curly hair and heroic figure are simply an alien on the dirty battlefield.
"Accept the judgment! Skaven scum!" Sulia slashed all the ratmen who wanted to attack into two pieces with a sword without looking back. At this time, the female knight's face no longer had the usual warm smile.
and noble demeanor were replaced by terrifying coldness and the anger from the lake god.
The sword blade blessed by the Lake Fairy rolled up and blocked the rat troll's attack. Sulia's exquisite swordsmanship cut through a ball of dazzling light and shadow.
At the moment of the face-to-face confrontation, blood spattered. The rat troll forcefully slapped away Sulia's sword blade that stabbed its heart, but the price was that the head was attacked by the female knight's sharp sword. Sulia picked out the sword with one blow.
One of the Rat Troll's eyes. The Rat Troll covered its left eye that was spurting blood and retreated repeatedly. Half of its face was ruined, and a deep wound was left on its face.
"Death! Accept the trial under the glory of the lady!" Sulia stepped forward. The female knight's light steps were like the ballet steps of a beautiful female dancer, but the whole process was made of blood. She killed several heads in succession.
The clan rats rushed up, and then rushed in front of the rat troll, clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands, and slashed down angrily.
"Wow!" The rat troll waved its left arm in turn, intending to directly attack Sulia's head!
"Qiang~"
The female knight completed her slashing, she made a movement to sheath her sword, silently reciting the swordsmanship taught to her by her father, and after gathering enough strength, she drew her sword again.
The bloody light suddenly appeared, and the sword of Lyonnais almost cut off the rat troll's left arm. The rat troll immediately understood that its left arm was useless. When it tried to raise its right arm to fight back, Sulia's
The sword had penetrated its right leg.
The sacred golden light on the female knight was so powerful that the rat troll did not even dare to look directly at her figure. After being injured on its right leg, the giant beast fell to the ground. It opened its mouth and let out a "squeak"
"Squeak" sound.
Sulia had no time to pay attention to what it wanted to say. The female knight stood firm and recited the hymn of the Lake Fairy in her mouth. She raised the sword high and lowered it, and the huge monster rat's head fell to the ground.
The headless rat troll corpse collapsed, attracting the attention of the rat pack, or at least the rat pack commander. This was a plague priest holding a plague incense burner. It stirred the plague incense burner in its hand to spread the disgusting and putrid disease gas.
Coupled with the weird spells it comes with, the disease spreads wildly. What's worse, its obviously overflowing evil power can corrode everything it touches even if it breathes.
"Yesyes! Golden retriever thing! Killkill!" It pointed at Sulia's figure. Under its order, several low-level plague monks rushed directly towards Sulia.
The female knight was not panicked at all. She swung the sword of Leonese up and down, and several plague monks were cut open without even a drop of blood on her body.
Although it lost several capable men, the Plague Priest's goal had been achieved, and it released its spell directly towards Sulia.
Plague Breath!
The poisonous mist containing strong poison attacked directly towards Sulia who was protecting Veronica, and in the blink of an eye, Sulia's body was enveloped.
"Kill! kill!" The plague priest's body was covered with ulcers and sores. Taking this opportunity, he waved the plague incense burner and approached Sulia.
However, the poisonous mist did not affect Sulia's movements at all. On the contrary, under the attack of the poisonous mist, something seemed to be activated from the armor on the female knight.
The golden light containing supreme power illuminated Sulia's whole body, instantly dispersing the poisonous fog. The golden scriptures stuck on the armor glowed dazzlingly on their own as if they came alive. The Plague Priest had just been struck by this golden light.
When I arrived, there was a burning smell coming from my body.
This terrible change was beyond the understanding of the Plague Priest, but it had no time to understand. Under the golden light, the Skaven evaporated on the spot and turned into a wisp of smoke rising to the sky, leaving not even a trace of ash.
.
This situation scared the surrounding rat tide so much that the morale of this group of rats was shaken almost at the same time. The storm rats and clan rats angrily ordered the slave rats to enter the battlefield, but they themselves started to escape.
thoughts.
"Light of Exile!" Three pure wind waves of light swept across the battlefield. Under the dense crowd of rat men, at least six hundred rat men were directly involved in the magic vortex by the power of the wind of light, and turned into
Ashes, Veronica gritted her teeth and stood up reluctantly. The Witch of Gloria controlled the magic with all her strength, and the feeling of emptiness in her body made her feel painful.
The witch understood that this was not the time to worry about the loss of magic power, so she tried her best to control the spell. Veronica controlled three magic vortexes by herself, covering the ratmen attacking from three directions!
A large group of slave rats and clan rats, as well as a small number of storm rats, were caught in the light of banishment and burned into a pile of debris. The magic vortex continued to move, rushing towards the direction of the rat-men attack.
The morale of the rat men finally collapsed, and these rats scrambled to flee again. The collapse of one corner led to the collapse of the entire army. While shouting, the rat tide abandoned countless corpses and fled back to their original place.
Veronica was relieved after seeing the rat tide defeated, and she almost fell over due to a strong dizziness.
"Veronica? Are you okay?" After a hard battle, there were only more than 150 survivors left, and the team size was almost reduced by half. The remaining ones were more soldiers, militiamen, and refugees.
There were heavy casualties. Seeing Veronica fall, Lidya Su quickly helped her up.
"Hurry, retreat quickly. The rat tide has receded and will not come again for the time being. We must seize this opportunity to evacuate to the church quickly." Veronica's face was as white as paper, and a trace of red dripped from the corner of her mouth: "Quick."
"Okay!" Sulia nodded vigorously. She supported Veronica and shouted to everyone: "Evacuate quickly! Let's retreat to the city wall quickly!"
"The sound on the city wall has stopped. I hope we will win!" Imperial Captain Huber had several new wounds on his body. He knew that he was lucky to be alive.
"I hope so." The demon hunter Abel didn't suffer too many injuries, just a knife on his shoulder. This was nothing for a demon hunter who always licks blood with his blade.
The exhausted survivors climbed up the stairs behind the square. They accommodated more survivors and called on people to take refuge collectively in the Church of Justice.
Three hours later, the gate of Helmgart was already in sight.
The survivors came to the city gate. The city wall, which was more than twenty meters high, was silent. Veronica and Sulia looked at each other and signaled the soldiers to pick up their weapons and prepare to fight.
The survivors were preparing to continue fighting, and a bunch of things were thrown from the city wall.
Lidya Su subconsciously took a few steps back.
There were several bags filled with Skaven heads! Many of the heads were even covered with ice shards.
The city gate slowly opened, and Rick Guard Rudolf and Rick Guard Wagner came out of the city gate holding swords and shields. Behind them were a dozen swordsmen and knights, as well as dozens of defenders.
Almost everyone was covered in blood. Seeing Sulia and Veronica, Rudolph breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "Hurry up, we have repelled the rat man's attack, but these beasts won't wait long.
, they will come back soon!"
"The defense facilities of the city wall have been severely damaged. We won't be able to defend the city wall if the rat men come again."
"Quick! Escape to the Church of Justice! We must build a new line of defense before the rat tide comes again!"
"Shoot a signal flare into the sky to let Lord Lane know that we have successfully retreated to the city wall." Sulia said towards Wagner.
"Yes!" Wagner, a master engineer, immediately signaled to fire the signal flare.
…………
Helmgart, market place.
"Bang~" Looking at the signal flares rising into the sky, Ryan, who was standing on a pile of corpses of a group of storm rats, tore a plague priest in half with his bare hands. He nodded: "Very good, it seems that Sulia and the others have successfully retreated."
On the city wall."
The chosen champion of the Fairy of the Lake pulled out the hammer head of Mjolnir from the head of a dead rat troll, showing a cruel smile.
