Chapter 836 67. The hero always appears at the end
Femi called Belial, Ymir, and Blom in front of him.
No one knows whether the rat men will find a way to knock on the "hive", they have to delay this last hour.
Beryl said: "Don't you have any way to contact Liberty City?"
"This is Lord Annan's talent." Femi replied.
"Then pray that your Lord Annan still remembers you..."
Femi skipped this topic: "We have no retreat. Before six o'clock, we must ensure that the rat people will not come in."< br>
But the painful thing is that it seems that the God of Time is against them... It has only been less than ten minutes since they withdrew. And...
"What sound?"
A dull sound, like the rustle of wind blowing through the forest, sounded faintly underground.
They listened carefully -
"They are digging into the mountain..." Belial suddenly said, "This is how they got from the ground to the streets of Brunmando Castle before."
"The rock formations here are very thick..." Blom hesitated.
“Are you looking down on the burrowing talent of mice?”
Well, Blom thought of the huge cavity underground in Breeze City... If Annan hadn’t discovered it, Breeze City would have been gone. Existed... even now.
Adjutant Walter turned around, walked towards them, and handed a stack of notes to Fermi.
"These are the suicide notes of the soldiers. They are worried that they will have no chance to go back."
Femi took the suicide note, thought about it and took out another more formal one from his arms, and Put the suicide note in the envelope together and give it to Ymir.
"You have the best chance of escaping among us... If the basement is lost, we will hold off the ratmen and give you time to leave."
Ymir took it In the suicide note, Belial sighed: "You are stronger than many knights I have seen."
The adjutant smiled bitterly and said: "There are rats everywhere, and we can't evacuate even if we want to."
There is also the order "hold on until August 12th" hanging above our heads... I don't know if it counts now. Considered disobedience.
"It's different. Do you know what it was like in the last moments of Brunmando Castle? The city wall was lost, and the nobles recalled their private soldiers and asked them to escort them to escape. The gangsters took advantage of the Rat Man They invaded, plundered property, and raped women and children. The rich man put himself into a perfectly built shelter. Brunmando Castle could have lasted at least five days, but it was captured by the rat men in three days! Belial was once a minor nobleman, but now he just wants to spurn his former self.
“We will talk about these things after we get out alive.” Fermi interrupted them, “We must hold on for another fifty minutes.”
In the brief silence, the rustling sounds all around were clearer than three minutes ago.
"It's not what we said." Blom said, "Whether we can hold on for fifty minutes depends on whether the Skaven want us to die quickly..."
Still standing There were no more than ten mages who got up, and they had no means to stop the evil energy...
"I have a way, but you must believe in me." Belial said.
"I now give you the position of staff officer of the Hellfire Legion." Fermi proved his trust with actions.
Belial expressed his thoughts: "We will resist normally after the passage is dug, but if the soldiers deliberately cough and wail, we must not let the rat people think that we still have hope... In this way, everyone who squeezes in will be Greedy Rat Man.”
“It’s best if someone takes the initiative to die to play this scene...” Belial moved his lips, but did not say this sentence in the end.
Beryl tried to be cold, but he really couldn't let those young faces die for his words... Even if he had an illusion, as long as he said so, they would really do it. Sacrifice yourself to keep your companions alive.
"Let everyone do what Belial said." Fermi and the adjutant said.
The adjutant gathered dozens of people who coughed the loudest - the most seriously ill ones couldn't cough loudly at all.
After all this is done, there are still forty minutes.
The rustling sound came closer, it was a creepy sound like countless teeth gnawing something.
The soldiers gathered in front of the passage where the sound of digging was closest, preparing to give the ratmen a severe blow. Good thing they're not digging from above their heads. Otherwise, they would not be able to resist the rat people anyway.
"Remember, don't roar, don't yell, don't do anything to boost morale, imagine that you are a group of defeated troops with no hope..." Belial warned for the last time.
They don't think it's useful, but there's no cost anyway...
Bang - bang - bang -
The mud wall blocking the passage began to loosen significantly. Ymir gave them a final layer of blessing.
“I’m here to show you—”
Beryl held the sword close to the loose soil, suddenly opened a hole, and drilled out the hideous head of the rat man— —
"Help! They're coming in!"
Beryl shouted like a woman in a sharp voice, while stabbing the sword in his hand into the rat man's head.
There were more and more holes, and Belial retreated to the rear, letting the heavily armored orcs stand in front.
The "music band" standing nearby began to cough one after another.
The rat people's eyes flashed scarlet, and they excitedly rushed towards the group of weak humans, and were greeted by powerful slashes——
Many ratmen died with their eyes open. It was obvious that the human things were coughing, so why did they move so fast...
The rat corpses were piled in the passage. The ratmen tore the corpses of their companions and stuffed them into their mouths while rushing forward, turning them into food. .
Beryl is right!
There are still thirty minutes until evening.
They thought they could hold on until the portal opened, but the rat people in the passage suddenly changed from slave rats to elite rats.
The coughing and wailing of the human things have not stopped since the beginning, but they died in groups, and nothing happened to the humans... No matter how stupid the rat people are, they should know what's going on.
The ratmen who poured into the passage changed from slave rats to elite rats. Except the cans were harder to open, and instead of eating, they pushed the bodies into the basement.
The soldiers fought desperately for the passage, but the victorious Libra rushed in with the elite rats desperately, opened the defense line, and fell to the rat people.
They have twenty minutes left.
But there is no way back.
Lockran's magical musket was aimed at an elite rat, but was stalled by the soldiers fighting it.
Notice that his soldier suddenly hugged the elite rat and roared: "Hurry up and shoot!"
Bang——
The sound of gunfire rang out, and the smoke was annihilated in the chaotic basement. .
Everyone is fighting, even Broken Tooth takes Miller to sneak into the rat group, and sneak attacks on the unsuspecting fellows who have their backs turned to them——
At this time, I no longer care about accidental injuries.
But more and more rat people are pouring in, more and more...
There are still the last ten minutes... ten minutes like a chasm.
Femi, who was covered in blood, chopped off the head of an elite rat that turned its back to him, raised his head and looked at Ymir who was standing with the anchor point: "We can't hold it anymore... Ymir , we will cover your departure.”
The elf mage began to cast spells. The ratmen didn't know what she was going to do, but they all rushed to stop her.
An elite rat rushed towards him with a fishy wind——
The sudden appearance of the arched portal cut it in half.
