Chapter 846 77. August 11
“Get ready for fire oil!”
As Lockran raised his hand, the soldiers standing dozens of meters apart on the edge of the camp picked up the oil barrels. .
"Rangers prepare!"
The rangers beside the warriors ignited arrows.
"Throw——!"
Dozens of barrels of oil rolled and hit the rat men on the hillside. The moment they hit and shattered, burning fire arrows shot towards them.
The rat people with thick and hard fur suddenly turned into a burning flame, rolling and scurrying in the rat tide, bringing the flame to more rat people.
A terrifying heat wave licked the camp, and the smell of burnt barbecue came with the wind.
Everyone has been smoked for a whole day and is almost used to it. If there weren't too few oil barrels, they would have smelled it all day.
The burning frontline instantly relieved the pressure on the camp, but only for a brief ten minutes.
The Musketeers took the time to twist their shoulders and joints and stretch their numb legs.
Fortunately, there are still a few months until winter. Otherwise, even if the Huiyue Mountains are at the junction of the North and Middle-earth, the cold wind will make it very difficult for them.
“Try the barbecue dinner we prepared!” Nina put on a vest and put one foot on the wall and shouted.
Lochran walked towards Fermi, and the solemnity on his face infected Fermi. He said with a straight face: "Bad news?"
He noticed that only the oil barrels were burning, and the wall of fire of the mages did not keep up.
"Well..."
"Tell me, is it because the rat men have made new moves or they are running out of supplies." Fermi didn't have much mood swings, and he kept fighting for two consecutive times without stopping. God, they will all be numb.
"No, now is the time for Mr. Annan to send supplies."
Lochran exhaled a breath: "This is the problem... Mr. Annan did not open the portal."< br>
Ymir walked over at this moment. Even though her robe was a little dirty, she was still elegant and beautiful, but her eyebrows were wrinkled.
“What happened?”
“The magic and the elements were dispelled…”
“I don’t understand…”
Fermi If he doesn't understand, of course, he can also say "I have the same qualities as Lord Annan".
"The rat men have dispelled the magic of Hell Mountain, making the magic here nearly exhausted. Our magic cannot be replenished."
"You can no longer maintain the magic barrier?"
" It's okay before the magic power is exhausted, but the worst thing is that the rat man is going to make a move."
As if in response to Ymir's words, the dark sky suddenly burst into flames that illuminated half of the night sky. Green glow.
That seems to be the direction of the northern city wall...
This is the only good news after the magic is dispelled and the portal cannot be opened: the Great Wall of the North can attract the attention of a large number of the main force of the Skaven.
Femi took a deep breath: "Don't worry, the imperial coalition should solve the magic problem... Adjutant Lockran, how much supplies do we have?"
"Rolling stones, logs and kerosene It can maintain the intensity of the current rat tide for one day, and the ammunition and arrows will be enough for us for more than three days..."
The supplies are almost enough for them to last until the 12 days required by the Orr Empire... But if the magic power is not restored. , time has no meaning...
Femi withdrew his gaze. The soldiers were all staring at the ominous fluorescent green light surging in the south, and then silently checked the magic muskets, preparing for a new wave of rats.
The main force of the rat men was indeed heading for the Northern Great Wall, but Hell Mountain was not forgotten either. Next, the rat men's desire to attack and their intensive intensity suddenly increased, and the ratio of elite rats to reckless rats increased.
To avoid being affected by the Ratmen's general attack, Femi had to teach those warriors and mages to use magic guns.
“Aim at the rat man through two sights, and then pull the trigger.” Mages are not stupid. They may lack physical strength, but their accuracy is by no means comparable to that of soldiers who shoot into the air.
But the rat tide is still advancing slowly, and even the rat priest appears in the rat tide and releases the evil curse in a sinister way.
The mages relied on the magic power in the magic vortex to support them, and Ilimoyas seized the time to behead her. But as the roar from the direction of the Great Wall in the north became louder and more intense, at its worst, the burst of light seemed like the sun rising from the south——
Elimayas and the White Dragons had to Fall back to the camp temporarily to avoid being noticed by the rat tribe and getting burned.
The mage who ran out of magic power went to the front line to shoot,
"I want to buy one after the war is over." Luo Wa held the magic gun and couldn't put it down.
“I’ll give it to you if you like it!” the centurion on the side said loudly.
The number of people carrying muskets has exceeded the full strength of the Hellfire Legion, but the density of the rat tide has also exceeded that of a few days ago. The consumption rate of rolling stones, logs, and oil barrels cannot even keep up with the speed at which they are brought up.
No one is idle, everyone is looking for something to do.
“Alomar, you don’t need to do this.”
Femi shouted to the reporter from the Innocence City Post who was sweating profusely and pushing the oil drum: “Your mission is Write down our fight."
"But I also want to help."
"Then pick up the magic stone and record everything that happens here... Your battlefield is not here."
"I understand..."
Aloma stood up , Little William and Richardson next to him took over the oil barrels, but were also stopped by Fermi: "You don't have to do anything, protect Aloma."
It was dawn again, and then the people in the camp People discovered that this time it was not the light from the north, but the sun rising from the east.
The dawn comes, but not theirs.
The soldiers fought hard from early morning to dusk, and countless people fainted due to exhaustion, plague, and curses. Even so, the rat men rushed into the camp again in the evening.
The soldiers of Hellfire and the Fourth Legion have already experienced this scene, but the Foreign Aid Legion has not. They watched in despair as the Skaven swarmed up.
“Everyone, return to the basement!”
Femi planned to repeat his old trick, grabbing a dazed mage and retreating underground.
The elite team is on top, giving the warriors time to withdraw.
Bang——
Ymir cast a spell to block the exit for the second time, isolating all sounds from the basement.
This time there were no Storm Rats, and they did not fight desperately. The casualties were much less than the last time - it was just that everyone was exhausted.
The centurions have already gone to teach the new warriors how to fight the rat men in the passage, and they also want to repeat Belial's plan of showing weakness.
"Can you open the portal to the outside." Fermi approached the mages.
"Like Lord Annan?"
"No, as long as we can leave Hell Mountain, the further away the better."
"Shouldn't we continue to hold on?"
" We don't know when the magic will be restored. Without reinforcements, we can only wait to die if we stay here." Femi turned out the map, "There are still three hours until the 12th, and we should prepare to break out."
" About two hundred miles east of the Huiyue Mountains is the Kingdom of Dimon, which is heavily guarded and is not the focus of the Ratmen’s southward march.”
Fermi pointed to the east of Hell Mountain, about thirty miles away: "There is an Orion village here. After the rats came, there was nothing left. I don't think the rat people would be free to demolish the houses and walls. We teleported here and went all the way. Heading east."
"When to act?"
"At midnight on August 12th"
