Chapter 207, Temple Guard
His eyes stayed on the arrow that had sunk into the chest of the Rat Man Lord. After a lot of effort, he finally pulled out the arrow and played with it excitedly in his hands. .
Seeing the red grass swaying beside the body of the Rat Man Lord, he pulled it up casually, stuffed it into his mouth, and happily continued his search.
Everything that survives on this scarlet is trying to adapt to this scarlet itself. If it does not adapt, it will disappear, whether it is the grassland itself or those who are forced to live on this grassland. This is true for all living creatures.
Except for those bad guys who are filled with scarlet.
………….
Limited by the special environment and conditions of this vast grassland, the grassland cities built by the rat people have some common characteristics.
Low city walls surround the huge city, and most of the city's areas and structures are exposed on the surface of the grassland.
It’s not that we don’t want to build cities underground, it’s just that the soft soil cannot support the existence of overly complex underground structures.
It’s not that this problem cannot be solved, it’s just that it costs a lot of money. The red blood mushrooms bought piles of rocks in large quantities, but it always felt like something was wrong.
Simply building the city on the ground greatly saves the expenditure on blood mushrooms, but also brings about a problem.
Such a city is fragile and unstable.
So how to deal with enemy attacks?
A good question, but this problem is left to the managers who cannot manage this rat city to think about.
Because he is dead.
Amid the commotion, the temple guards in the temple had to organize their forces to participate in the defense.
All the Ratmen in the city have been included in the ranks of mobilization, but they are facing a huge enemy force outside the city that is not easy to mess with at first glance, and the only thing they can rely on is the low There are only a few hundred temple guards on the city wall.
Panic naturally set in, and the bad-tempered rat lord sent most of the power in the city and himself out.
But this city must not let go, at least the temple guards must not give up this city.
The temple of the god stands in the center of the city.
Trying to gather strength while running.
But the harsh echo brought by the gathering storm has already appeared, accompanied by the sound of the large cavalry running wildly.
The gathering wind pillars knocked a hole in the low city wall, the city wall collapsed, and a group of centaur knights broke into the city.
All the rat men blocking the road were thrown away, and their target was very clear, locking on the temple in the center of the city.
The piercing bells echoed throughout the city, and with the piercing roar, the temple guards stopped in front of the palace of the great god while running wildly.
They will never allow, never allow the temple of the great god to be defiled in any way, never allow it.
The guards running wildly on the ground collided head-on with the running centaur knight amid ferocious roars, like wild beasts, and also completed the feat.
There were only a hundred temple guards, these temple guards running wildly on the ground. They forcibly stopped the enemy's vanguard troops that broke into the city. A group of a thousand people rushed towards them. Centaur knight. It's not that they didn't pay the price, half of the temple guards died on the spot, and the remaining half launched a desperate attack on the group of centaur knights.
The other rat men in the city gradually came back to their senses. In the harsh ringing of the bells, pairs of eyes kept falling on the centaur knights and the remaining temple guards. , the palace of the temple, constantly going back and forth between these three.
The Skaven Priest and the Great Claw Priest were the first to respond to the battle.
Climbing up to the twisted and haphazardly built shacks, amidst the sharp neighing, various magical spells were swayed out by the rat priests like splashing water.
At least one-third of the ratmen in the city began to surge. It was not because these guys were brave and could muster the courage so quickly, but because of the Big Claw Priest and the slave rats under the Big Claw Priest. They occupy a full third of the city.
The big-clawed priests with red eyes are more terrifying than ever. They are the most devout believers. They are cowardly and weak, but they will not allow the temple of the great god to be defiled by heresy.
The surging rat tide combined with the stubborn and crazy temple guards caught the Centaur vanguard by surprise.
But it's just out of reach. If the rat lords of this city lead the rat farmers to defend the city, this will definitely be a difficult siege.
But the violent rat lord died outside the city, on the grassland.
There were no rat men calling out to the gods and engaging in fierce and cruel battles. The rat priests fell down due to backlash after forcibly casting one magical spell after another. The big-clawed priests took the slave rats with them. The support didn't change much, and more centaur knights stepped into the city.
The temple of the gods is still so solemn. The complicated and exquisite patterns are carved into almost every corner of this sacred and solemn palace by the temple guards, although they do not understand what these patterns mean. .
Bloody, death, and killing were carried out in front of the temple. This was the most legitimate battle that the rat people had ever fought.
The last temple guard fell unwillingly during the siege, his red eyes almost protruding from his sockets, ferocious and terrifying, but they didn't change anything.
Above the sky.
Perhaps after noticing this interesting scene, some gods among the grassland gods finally began to show their figures, and the four demigods who were the leaders showed their figures in unison.
The reverberation brought about by the instigation of divine power reached its peak the moment these four demigods appeared.
The malicious gaze fell on Du Yuan, and in an instant, the atmosphere on the field became stagnant to the extreme.
Obviously, these four grassland demigods wanted to see if Du Yuan could sit back and watch his temple be destroyed, waiting for the possible anger and response.
If there was any disharmony, Du Yuan would receive a thunderous strike from these four demigods.
Malicious eyes roamed Du Yuan's body wantonly.
Waiting for the opportunity that may arise.
Du Yuan did not deliberately avoid the scene that happened. He cast his gaze and saw everything that happened in the edge city on the Four Seasons Ranch.
A somewhat surprised whisper came from the other side.
On the vast grassland, in this city located on the edge of the Four Seasons Ranch, the battle did not end, and the rustling sounds did not stop. When the last temple guard fell, more and more people Ratmen appeared from the city. More and more ratmen appeared from every corner of the city, came to the solemn temple, and gathered in front of the powerful centaur knight in uneasiness.
