Chapter 827 58. They are coming
On August 7, Hell Mountain was still busy preparing for war.
Before the Rat Man appeared, nearly one-third of the time given by the Orr Empire had passed.
At noon, the portal opened on time.
Femi and the others' attention fell on the cold girl who walked out, while Belial's attention was on the portal.
"Where is the Fourth Legion?" the noble-looking and cold-looking girl asked.
The luxurious sapphire skirt made Femi vaguely guess who she was, and he signaled to the goblins who were building fortifications: "They are over there."
Ilimaya As soon as Si walked away, Beryl came over and asked nonchalantly: "Does the rat man know?"
"Know what?"
"This kind can span thousands of people. The portal opened in ”
"They don't know." Even Jerry hadn't seen it.
"Then why are you standing there? Why don't you dig a basement quickly and don't let the ratmen see the portal!"
"Why?"
"You don't think that The rat people are all idiots, they will just come over like a tide, right?"
Femi has been in contact with the rat people for several years, and of course they will not say "isn't it?", but limited by their strength, they The closest time to the Skaven's advanced arms was when the Skaven besieged the Black Watch Legion.
"Do you know how the Skaven attacked the city?"
Beryl talked about what he saw before and after the fall of Brunmando Castle...or his personal experience.
Brunmando Castle, also known as the Shield that held the Skaven - before it was breached.
It gathered and sheltered professionals and ordinary people from hundreds of miles around. It was once the real Great Wall of the North in the hearts of the rescued people. Mage tower, mercenary hall, scavenger... Such a fortress will not be much weaker than the coalition forces that eliminated the two empires.
But it still fell on the third day after the arrival of the Skaven.
"On the morning of the first day, the magic barrier of Brunmando Castle was in danger under the evil energy of the rat priest. By evening, the magic barrier was broken, and the terrifying evil energy invaded, and was barely blocked by the mage tower. The second When it was dark, there was already a sea of rats outside the city wall. "
" Late at night the next day, the rat men launched a general attack around the clock: they piled up outside the city wall with fire magic and teleportation magic. The rat wall that was tens of meters high poured in like pouring rain. Large areas of the streets of Brunmando Castle collapsed, and the rat men burst out of the ground..."
Looking back now, Bailey. There was still fear on your face.
"When I escaped, the Mage Tower was being attacked and flashing magic runes..."
Beryl is a big shot, and the person in the Mage Tower is a big shot in his eyes. ...After escaping, Belial wandered outside Brunmando Castle for a few days, but did not see a single mage running out.
His story still had some effect, and the soldiers around him were a little pessimistic... but did not flinch.
“But maybe you guys really have a chance to survive.” Belial suddenly changed his tone, “The Ratmen attacked Brunmando Castle because it was located in a strategic location and dozens of people gathered there. Tens of thousands of people and countless treasures, but we are on a mountain that is thousands of feet high and has nothing to lose."
Beryl deliberately said optimistically: "Maybe we are like the ones in the sea. The rocks, the waves encountered us and we consciously bypassed it——"
It is not impossible, but the premise is that the rat people hit a wall in Hell Mountain, so that they have to abandon this place...
And here Before that, Femi had to boost the morale that Belial had lost.
As a speed reader who has been a civilian for the past twenty years and only stayed in Liberty City School for a month, Fermi is not good at boosting morale. He prefers simple and crude methods.
For example, striding to the edge of the camp and kicking down the rolling stones piled in the grooves for the rat men to push down when they climb up.
The rolling stone rumbled, sending out large sparks and rolling down Hell Mountain.
“We killed hundreds of thousands of Skaven with a drop of tens of meters. Now, the drop is a kilometer.” Fermi shouted: “Look, the canned Skaven is harder. A can opener works better!”
At this time, a group of goblin engineers came over and chirped: “Do you know how hard it is for us to get the rocks up and make them round?”
"That's Raggi's stone, it was worked in vain in one day!" "I want to complain to Mr. Olmedo, you broke our hard work!"
Just now, you had a look on your face! The tough guy Femi had to apologize to the goblins in embarrassment, which surprised Beryl.
Fortunately, Ilimoyas, who came later, did not complain about Femi and let the goblin continue working.
"Okay! Lord Legion Commander!"
The goblins responded in a chaotic manner, like a group of brainless goblins who only had fun.
"Uh...Princess Ilimoyas, what are your instructions?"
"I am not a princess."
Femi guessed that this was Lord Annan and Lan The dragon's unknown taste changed his words: "Then I will call you the Commander of the Army of Yilimayas."
Ilimayas nodded lightly: "Annan told me, return from Hell Mountain You command, what do I need to do?”
Femi is suddenly in trouble...
He is not an indecisive man. If Losi or someone else comes, he will resolutely carry out Lord Annan's order. But Ilimoyas is different...
Whether it is her relationship with Annan or the crystal lair next to the city lord's palace, it shows that her identity is extraordinary, and she is even... the city lord's wife.
"There is nothing you need to do. We are the commander of the legion. The rat men haven't come yet. Just wait here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white dragon grabbed a rock and fell. At the top of the mountain.
It was naturally impossible for Ilimoyas to do such a thing, so she walked away maintaining her pride.
“She is…” Beryl was surprised.
He suddenly saw Ilimoyas's dragon eyes just now.
"Lord Annan's... good friend."
"I mean, she is a dragon?"
"Yeah." Fermi was used to it.
Beryl had many surprises, such as drinking lemonade with the soldiers.
"I believe you are not an abandoned legion." Belial said in a strange tone, "You actually have sugar water to drink...your 'Lord Annan' is really a——"
In Fermi’s suddenly sharp gaze, Belial changed to a more neutral word: “Special guy.”
……
Elf ranger Ariel lay idle on the rocks on the mountainside.
There is no obstruction from the morning mountain fog here, and you can see the undulating mountains in the distance more clearly.
When she first saw this scene, she thought it was extremely beautiful, but upon closer inspection, she found it ugly... There was not a single tree in the entire mountain range, only the weeds and shrubs that grew up after the rat men were annihilated.
When he looked away, Ariel suddenly saw an unknown wild flower standing between the rocks not far ahead.
Didn’t see it yesterday.
Ariel stretched out his hand in surprise, wanting to touch the young petals of the wild flowers that grew overnight -
The wind blowing over the hills made the wild flowers sway gently, and Ariel suddenly smelled the scent of people in the wind. Feeling disgust, he raised his eyes.
A few pieces of black waves were lapping between the mountains in the distance.
