Chapter 251, Despicable Guys
But this honest performance will not bring them more benefits.
The temple guards offered a higher price for this group of slave rats from the main continent.
If being overwhelmed by humans and hiding around all day is particularly difficult, then floating in this sea filled with corpses is the real hell. Now, hell has opened the door to them , and began to actively invite them to enter.
It is not that there is no comfort. The big bell made of bones still plays on time. The ethereal and transparent bell has become the only comfort.
Faith began to spread.
………….
A bad news was sent to the hands of Pope Stargazer. Regarding his request for help, he immediately asked for help from the neighboring provinces, but even an accurate message was not given. All All the requests seemed to fall into the sea, until today, I got a response.
His request was denied.
At such a critical moment, the major churches are leaderless, the human gods have disappeared, and every province in the human empire is experiencing turmoil of varying degrees, big or small, and naturally no one responds to the question. The Star Pope asked for help.
This is bad news.
The traces of the rat people once again appeared outside the city, with pairs of scarlet eyes shadowy.
After dispatching all the rat warlords in the camp, the rat war began to wave the flag again, and the rat people swarmed in again.
To be fair, there is no big change between this siege and the last siege. It is still the endless running of the rat men, the roaring boulders and the wailing swollen rats. people.
The figure of Rat Zhan did not even really appear in the sight of the city's defenders, there were only dense, surging black tides.
The departure of the rat warlord did not cause any major changes in the swarming rat tide. This black tide still has no end in sight.
The more elite troops were not mobilized, and the pattern of war changed. It was no longer like that on the vast grasslands. Both sides dropped their most elite troops to attack each other in the most brutal and effective way. .
The personal guards of the rat war were not put into the battlefield. The rat knights, the ferocious knights, the rat war supervisors, and the rat runners. These troops were not put into the battlefield, and some were just the boundless ones. Boundless is a huge army composed of young ratmen and ratmen warriors.
The long ladder was once again put up on the city wall. The rat corpses piled up outside the city wall had been cleared away, leaving only a dark brown land stained with blood.
This city is indeed huge enough, and it contains all the power of human beings in this area.
Smelly and hard.
Zhu Zhan suppressed his impatience. To deal with a city like this, one needs to be patient and wait for the opportunity that arises.
In the darkness, on the high platform built, Rat Zhan wandered around the black flag a little anxiously.
Being patient, this is really a difficult thing, at least for the rat war. This bad guy even began to miss the war on the vast grassland.
Wandering over and over again, on that not-so-wide high platform, my eyes wandered over that majestic city, peeping in the darkness, greedy guy.
The cities that were captured by the Rat War all ended up unified beyond expectations. It would not be a harmonious scene. For this brewing disaster, Mountain Dew City did not wait for any help. It is not surprising that the ancient and decadent city The human empire is only one step away from falling apart.
I hope that when the time comes, the Rat War will trample this city, hang the noble and the humble together, the prosperity will be burned to the ground, and civilization and knowledge will be destroyed without hesitation.
I hope that by this time, those guys can wake up and start to unite to deal with this disaster in the grief of rabbit death and fox.
This bad guy will definitely do this. In order to show his glory and his achievements, capturing more slaves will bring more and huge wealth, but the rat war has reached that time. I definitely won't think about this.
He is different from the rat priests. He will also be moved by the blood mushrooms, but above the blood mushrooms, he prefers listening to the fanatical shouts.
Until then, one has to wait.
Serious guards stood guard near the high platform.
Of course, the rat people also have to pay a price. Such a city is not easy to capture. Every moment, young or experienced rat warriors are dying, falling from the city walls, and being magically Bombarded, trampled by companions, and killed by guards on the city wall, there were a series of ways to die.
With eyes wide open, they turned into corpses on the battlefield. Blood flowed from the bodies of these guys, and the flesh and blood also rotted under the trampling and merged into the earth. They were the price, but they didn’t care about these guys. die.
No matter how many times a despicable guy dies, he is not worthy of being cared for at all. He is not even qualified to be mentioned as a number. The abundance of the moment makes ordinary rat people even more despicable.
The heavy rain has not stopped yet, it has been raining for many days.
Bright firelight was cast into the sky, illuminating the land outside the city. In the heavy rain, countless rat men crowded together and moved forward. The noisy sounds were mixed with various sounds. sound.
But most of them are shouts to the gods.
These guys with red eyes are not without fear. Most of the ratmen who are being pushed towards the city wall are uneasy and panicked.
"The gods protect me, the great gods protect me."
From time to time, there were rat men shouting these two sentences until they were pushed to the forefront of the war.
Holding the spear in his hand tightly, the heavy rain wet the hair on his body, everything was so blurry, the dazzling red reflected in his eyes, the wailing and crazy shouting became the clearest in his ears. Even the sound brought by the heavy rain cannot be covered up. The rat man behind you is still pushing you forward, and the pungent smell of blood fills your nose and becomes more and more impossible to ignore.
Finally, you are pushed to the shaky long ladder. You have no choice. Hold the weapon in your hand tightly. Your cowardice and fear are temporarily suppressed, or you can wave the weapon in your hand and ignore it. Climb up recklessly, or be more rational and grit your teeth and hold the long ladder in front of you.
But in fact, no matter how you choose, there will only be one ending that greets you in the end.
Death.
The word brave has never been associated with rat people.
In Mountain Dew City.
When the rat men outside the city launched an attack on the city, commotion in the city also occurred at the same time.
Things hidden in the darkness began to emerge in the heavy rain.
But their harm to the city is really limited. There are powerful guards wandering around the bustling streets and magnificent courtyards day and night. Even if the rat men in the darkness start calling for their companions to gather together, It probably has no impact on the guys in these areas.
Ordinary residential areas, those blocks where decent urban residents live, will also have the power to deal with it. Most of the Holy See Knights are wandering in these blocks.
Ultimately, there are only a few areas these guys can harass, and the Skid Row is one of them. Even for the residents living here, it is quite difficult just to stay alive.
But the harder it is, the more you have to endure.
This area is indeed chaotic and dangerous, full of criminals, thieves, robbers, and evil wizards. It is an area full of villains. Just living here is like having original sin.
This statement has been told everywhere for a long time, and in the end, even the residents of the slums began to believe these statements.
Is it really so?
The reason why Mountain Dew City is as huge as it is today is that it has been expanded three times in history, occupying a large area of land.
The reasons of the nobles are very valid. The expansion of the city has indeed brought them unparalleled benefits.
But those poor guys were right in front of them. Between the two choices of giving a compensation or beating them into criminals, they chose the second option without hesitation. .
Most of the residents in the slums are the descendants of poor people who lost their land during these three expansions and have no ability to live in the city.
Facing this situation, these poor guys with nowhere to go began to build a series of shacks outside the majestic city, and did some work that city residents were unwilling to do to earn some money to support themselves. life.
The nobles have always ignored these guys, because their ancestors probably benefited from the expansion of the city.
Most of the city's rulers ignored them, because they really had nothing to exploit, and the Stargazing Pope was kind-hearted, at least he didn't leave these poor guys to die outside the city.
But the suffering was not over for them.
The civilization of the Dark-Eye people is obviously much further than that of the rat people, but the residents of these slums are so humble, even compared to the slave rats, they are not far behind.
Today, there was a particularly unexpected figure wandering in the slums.
A knight, a real knight, although he wore that worn-out armor and carried a rusty pitchfork.
In the heavy rain, wandering among the continuous shanties, his opponents also included rat-men, but they were not limited to rat-men.
Pagans, evil mages, aliens, and finally the rat people.
It's just that his movements didn't change much. Stab, tease, and press. These three simple movements were like playing with hay in the farmland, but they were suppressing the rising guys in the battle. In this Fighting in the heavy rain.
The residents here can't pay them much, and they don't even have to worry about being condemned if they ignore them. These guys have long been beaten into criminal people.
He had no need or reason to fight here, but he did not retreat.
The figure is not tall, even a little stooped, but it is exceptionally dazzling, even in this dim light.
The rat people retreated once again, leaving behind an incalculable number of corpses. The losses of the city's defenders were more serious than last time. The heavy rain that still did not stop made the fire The effect of the oil was weakened. After the fur all over their bodies was wet, even if they were immediately ignited by the flames, the rat warriors could still climb up for a while.
During this siege, the Ratmen rushed onto the city wall many times, and the two sides fought in a melee on the large city wall.
But they were all driven down in the end. There were enough magic knights stationed on the city wall.
In this heavy rain, the defenders on the city wall began to clean the battlefield.
In the shouts of the knights, the guards who were slumped on the city wall were called up. It was not the time to rest yet. The rat corpses piled up on the city wall were thrown down and scattered all over the ground. The weapons were gathered up, and the large and small blacksmith shops in Mountain Dew City had the ability to forge and remelt weapons.
The constant influx of ratmen left behind a large number of spears and various strange weapons. These things will not be wasted and will be put into use again after being refurbished.
Buckets of scalding hot water were carried up the city wall, with some floating herbs soaked in them, used to drive away the wind and cold for the knights and soldiers who were soaked in the rain.
At the same time, some mages specializing in healing also appeared in the towers on the city wall.
As the central city of this rich province, all kinds of things in Mountain Dew City are relatively complete.
Especially in the aspect of medical treatment, the injured guard was carried into the tower, and healing spells were cast one by one, accompanied by quick and accurate treatment of the wounds.
The messy battlefield was quickly dealt with and cleaned up.
The Stargazing Pope climbed onto the city wall and stopped in the tower. This time the rat people did not completely retreat into the darkness, but chose to set up camp far away from the city wall. You can see the shadowy scarlet on the city wall, densely packed. Every point represents the existence of a rat man.
The reply that arrived today put Pope Stargazer in a bad mood. Mountain Dew City can indeed resist the Rat Man's attack, but it is obvious that the current confrontation is just the beginning.
Without support, can this city really sustain it for a long time?
Looking at the shadowy scarlet eyes outside the city, I made a decision.
Be prepared. Without reinforcements, stubborn persistence is just a slow death.
In the slums, as the rat army retreated outside the city, the sneaky guys who had appeared quickly retreated as if they had seen the sun. The brutal battle was over, and the Pitchfork Knight leaned on his knees and panted on the street regardless of his appearance.
Beside him, many corpses were listed.
This is not an easy battle, but it is easy, and the pitchfork in his hand is still handy.
Pantling, it’s not easy! Make such an exclamation.
Regarding his appearance, the residents in the slums were not so enthusiastic.
A little scared, after all, knights and nobles are always so intimidating, but there are many figures secretly watching here through the simple curtain, watching the knight breathing heavily in the middle of the street.
Some guards arrived in a hurry and cast their eyes at the Pitchfork Knight in the middle of the street in surprise.
The Pitchfork Knight with the corpses beside him is so bright.
At the sight of the guards, Pitchfork Knight stood up consciously, came to the edge of the street and sat down against a simple shanty.
The guards came back to their senses and continued their actions. They began to shout loudly and recruit people. Soon, figures emerged from the shanties. From this, as a starting point, this area It started to get lively.
