Chapter 866 97. Frontal combat
"You are..."
The old council leader's eyes fell on Shadow Song who was left behind, and he seemed to see something: "And the Northern Territory Wang's companion? Then please accept Gucheng's hospitality..."
"Deli, lead people to defend the city hall, I think these rats will be as crazy as burning their tails."
……
The wind from high altitude stirred up Annan's black hair and mage robe.
The frontline camp is right in front, as well as the grain teams gathering one after another.
Annan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley... With so much food, it was impossible for them to leave it untouched.
“Who is it!”
The guards on the sentry post ran out and confronted Annan uneasily as he landed outside the camp.
Ilimayas did not release the power of the dragon, but the existence of the dragon itself made people fearful.
"I am the King of the North, the Lord of the Free City, Annan Reeves, coming on behalf of Councilor Watts, where is the Holy Grail Knight!"
"Master Holy Grail Knight, bring me Let the soldiers go to the front line!”
“Have you eaten the food?”
"Grain shipped from Lesio Valley!"
"Uh...yes."
It's still too late...
Annan sighed, hoping that the situation would be better It’s not yet irreversible.
"Calling everyone together, the food shipped from Lethio Valley has been contaminated by ratmen. Are there any mages in the camp?"
"Yes...yes..."
The guards were stunned by the news brought by Annan.
"Let the mage find a way to purify the plague, and I will go to the front line to inform them!"
The blue dragon rose into the sky again, jumped over the camp and rushed to the front line.
……
North of Dimon Kingdom.
The dividing line between rat and human forms here.
This is the last line of defense for the Hellrats as they sweep across the country. If we fail here, the rat people will march straight in and reach the royal capital.
So the soldiers who retreated from the Snow Mountain Fortress led by the Holy Grail Knight have been fighting here for more than ten days.
Fortunately, China Earth helped share the pressure and allowed them to hold on.
"I feel a little uncomfortable..."
The guard captain, who was called in after delivering the food, frowned.
The person in charge of leading this group of "new recruits" was a rough man. He smiled and said: "Haha, is this your first time on the battlefield? Be careful not to pee your pants for a while."
"No, I feel unwell..."
My head is dizzy and I want to vomit: "We were caught in a heavy rain on the way here and soaked in cold water. I may have a fever..."
"Be patient, clean up these rat people, and we can go home and have a good rest."
The big man who hadn't been home for a long time sighed and gently touched the names of his wife and daughter engraved on his arm. ...
"Get ready to fight!"
At this time, the cavalry ran past their formation with the sound of hoofbeats and roars. At this time, changes occurred.
The cavalryman fell from his horse and screamed in pain. His body was twisted like a twist, his skin was chapped, and creepy flesh sprouts sprouted out.
The fallen cavalry was like a source of infection. The same scenes appeared one after another in the human array on the battlefield, causing chaos. "What happened to them!?"
When the rough man was at a loss, the guard captain beside him suddenly fell to the ground and let out the same scream...
...
"The curse of human gadgets! It has come true! Beat the drums!"
In the center of the rat tide coming from the north, defended by the champion rat team, the tribal chief wearing countless golden ornaments stood up from his chariot frame.
The rat man riding on the back of the giant rat beat the leather drum, and the rat tide approached the human front with a dull drum sound.
The soldiers on the front line were forced to face the rat tide, but the battle line collapsed at the first touch. They managed to hold off the rat tide, but their companions suddenly roared and threw them down, their throats torn apart.
The Holy Grail Knight and his guards were forced to disperse, enduring the pain to clean up those companions who were deformed but still sane...
But as the rat priest began to cast spells, the glowing The green evil energy fell across the arc and fell among the humans. The originally stable battle line was in jeopardy, even though the strength of this rat tribe was much lower than that of the Gray Mountains, and it did not even ban demons.
The Holy Grail Knight withstood the greatest pressure. He led his guards in a bloody battle in the rat tide. No matter the elite rats or the reckless rats, they could not stop one of their charges, but the rat men were endless.
"Lord Holy Grail Knight, we have to prepare to retreat!" The knight's retinue carrying the blood-stained sword rushed back to the Holy Grail Knight.
"Retreat? No! The autumn harvest is still in Lesio Valley. If we retreat now, the Kingdom of Dimon will be over!"
"But the curse of the ratmen from unknown sources has begun to affect the professionals. ! If we hold on any longer, we will all die here and become monsters driven by rat men!"
"Then, you take a group of guards to the rear, tell them our situation, and let them prepare... "The Holy Grail Knight sighed and suddenly roared: "We are fighting bloody battles with the rat men here!"
"Bloody battle!"
The soldiers raised their swords, and a shadow faintly appeared in the sky where they stabbed.
......
Annan overlooked the chaotic battlefield that stretched for miles.
With the help of the hillside terrain and strong city walls, the rat tribe could not surround them from both sides and could only attack them from the front.
But the chaos that breaks out from time to time in the human array puts them in danger.
It's still too late...but fortunately, there is still a chance to make amends.
"Elimayas!"
Annan wanted the blue dragon to land in front of the Holy Grail Knight, but she would make a mistake and suddenly began to dive, taking a deep breath and exhaling the dragon's breath to clean up A large group of rats on the front line then crashed down!
The diffuse dust dispersed, revealing the outline of the blue dragon and the boy on the dragon's back.
The battlefield was silent for a brief moment.
The humans stared at the figure in shock. The tribal chief stood up suddenly, his jewelry swaying: "Human thing...die...die!!!"
Facing a pair of pairs. With scarlet eyes, Annan activated three talismans at the same time without hesitation.
The Skeleton King, Mr. Swaro, and Dean Blehim emerged one after another at the feet of the blue dragon.
"Gentlemen, the battlefield is left to you. Drive these rats away."
Mr. Swaro raised his staff, and the gem inlaid on the top of the staff suddenly shot out a scorching Ormes beam, like a sharp arrow a hundred meters long. As Mr. Swaro turned the staff, the Ormes that passed through it suddenly shot out. The Mus beam instantly cut the waists of thousands of ratmen along a fan shape.
Dean Blehim completed casting the spell at this moment, and three circles of magic circles appeared in front of him.
Three huge fire elemental elders appeared in the summoning array. As they cast spells, fifteen smaller summoning arrays began to appear on the outside, and fifteen giant fire elementals emerged. Fifteen giant fire elements continued to cast spells, summoning seventy-five large fire elements in the seventy-five circle summoning array that emerged on the outermost periphery.
"This battlefield is just right for me to exert my power." The Skeleton King's soul fire swayed, and he squatted down to communicate with the dead on the battlefield.
“Wake up, unwilling undead——”
The earth seemed to come alive, and there was a dull heartbeat.
Throughout the battlefield, the dead human soldiers and rat-men got up. The soil broke open, and the dead buried deep in the ground crawled out one after another. They formed a wave of undead that was more powerful than the rat tide and rushed towards the rat men.
This group of rat men bullies the Holy Grail Knight because there is no mage under his command. Now, it's time for them to taste the bitter pill.
