Chapter 255, Embarrassed Humans
The rat people began to attack the city wall, and the rat people from other directions had already begun to attack the city wall. The surge of rat people was not limited to this direction. Under the arrogant commander, Under the command, the siege that had just ended was started again by the rat people.
In addition to the main entrance of the city where the fortress was raised, the city defenders still opened a road leading to the simple fortress.
The fortress set up in front of the city gate was just an attempt, but it attracted an extremely fierce response from the rat people.
Obviously, in this case, we have reached the node of choice. Should we continue to build this simple fortress, or should we stop the loss in time.
In the fierce response of the Rat Man, a decision must be made quickly.
This is a problem for the stargazing pope.
He was always observing the situation on the field.
The city defenders holding up their shields struggled to block the waves of arriving rat warriors, and the accompanying mages on the fortress relaxed their suppression of the rat warriors.
The lucky guy was pulled into the surging rat tide in front of him and suddenly lost his voice.
The ground was once again changed by the mottled magic aura, and a low mound was raised, matched with the same low wall. The rat warriors who originally surrounded these city guards were facing this He seemed a little at a loss when it came to changes.
However, this spell does not focus on the lethality. As long as you pay a little attention to the slowly changing earth, you can easily avoid it. However, not long after escaping, you were once again attacked by the ratman behind you. After pushing over, they faced such a low wall. Obviously, they didn't really want to climb these walls.
These military mages are really a big trouble, and so are these walls. Ordinary rat warriors suffered a lot on these walls.
Climb up with difficulty, but these city guards are simply not very familiar with the methods of military mages. Faced with this situation, they appear somewhat panicked, which gives the rats who are struggling to climb up a lot of trouble. Man warrior opportunity.
The two sides fought in a ball on the earth wall, and then hurriedly fled among the boulders thrown by the huge trebuchet.
The Great Claw Priests began to calibrate their ballistics. This time they were finally no longer friendly killers. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that the accompanying mages were focused on guiding the earth and neglected to guard against the boulders.
The roaring boulders were like meteors falling to the ground, bombarding everything in this area indiscriminately, including the simple fortress and the rising earth slope in front of the city wall, without any swollen rat-men. , not long after the last siege ended, the swollen ratmen did not have time to complete the cultivation.
There is no shortage of ratmen in the Eastern Expeditionary Army, but after all, the cultivation of swollen ratmen cannot be separated from blood mushrooms. Even if the most inferior blood mushrooms can be used for cultivation, this is still using blood mushrooms. .
Every time a bloated ratman is thrown, it is equivalent to throwing a handful of inferior blood mushrooms onto the battlefield.
The Swollen Rat Man will not open up to supply, which makes the effect of this attack much worse, but the thrown boulder also carries great power. This is the purest Attacked.
Throw rocks, throw huge rocks.
The falling boulders easily destroyed the low wall rising from the mound. Faced with this situation, the human defenders and the rat men were fleeing in embarrassment.
A boulder that was surprisingly accurate or perhaps erroneously landed on the top of the simple fortress. At this time, a large number of military mages gathered there. If this boulder fell, it would He really hit the jackpot. A large number of mages were turned into a pulp before they had time to react. The situation was extremely tragic.
This time the test took this place as a node and began to change. The human army coming out of Mountain Dew City began to gradually fall behind.
The battle between the Holy See Knights and the Dire Knights has not yet been decided. The defenders in the simple fortress are gradually losing ground, but the passage that maintains the simple fortress and Mountain Dew City is moving forward. collapse.
The falling boulders penetrated the raised low walls, and also destroyed the formation of the human defenders here. Although the rat men were the same, in this dark tide, the formation of the rat warriors had always been There is no formation.
The situation is rapidly slipping into chaos, and there is even a risk of rat men pouring into the city. This attempt failed. Even if the Stargazer Pope wanted to persist, in this situation, It was impossible to hold on any longer and began to recall the troops outside the city. The troops sent this time were not worth mentioning for the size of the entire Mountain Dew City. Even if the entire army was annihilated, it would be far from enough for this huge city. It hurts the muscles and bones.
There is just one problem.
Even the Stargazing Pope, who has now dominated the situation in Mountain Dew City, cannot mobilize the power gathered in Mountain Dew City. He cannot do it, and he cannot. There are not only the troops stationed in Mountain Dew City, but also the nobles. Their houses, shops, workshops, magic academy, and a large number of residents.
These all require strength to protect.
The city has completely descended into chaos. After the withdrawal order was given, the soldiers in the simple fortress no longer persisted and began to retreat in embarrassment. At first, the retreat was somewhat orderly, but the rat people were biting. Too dead.
The Ratmen noticed that these heretics wanted to retreat, which was regarded by the Ratmen as a sign of weakness, making them more restless and dangerous.
The rat warriors who gradually became excited began to become aggressive, and the two sides became entangled. Order was broken, and the retreat began to become chaotic.
From order, to chaos, and finally to fear and desperation, these human soldiers began to drop their weapons and run back desperately, and the battle line officially began to collapse.
They still have the mottled magic aura on their bodies, and various buff magics are still effective on them, but in this situation, it is obvious that these magics can no longer bring them courage.
The magic knights mixed in the team responded to this situation and began to shout loudly. However, when the retreat started from a single soldier and spread to the entire team, it was already difficult to save.
The magic knights who were submerged by the dark tide had to face the incoming gray-black tide alone. They waved their long swords vigorously and easily cut off the rat men in half, but what happened? All cannot be changed.
There are fewer and fewer soldiers around, and more and more rat people around them. These easily killed guys no longer bring fear to the rat people. On the contrary, the diffuse smell of blood is making these rats The guy was getting more and more excited and more and more manic.
A cowardly guy will not make people afraid.
Excitement, desire, and eagerness to try are all clearly displayed on the faces of the gathered rat men.
The anger on the faces of the magic knights began to fade away. Under such peeking, unreasonable fear began to rise in their hearts.
Facts have proved that in this situation, in this black tide, there is no big difference between them who have lost their army and those cowardly guards.
In a very short period of time, a large number of soldiers on the human side began to die, even the magic knights were no exception. The casualties in this very short period of time far exceeded the casualties of the soldiers who had just fought. total, in a short period of time.
The heavy city gate began to close slowly amidst the dull sound of gear rotation, leaving only a small gap. The Holy See knights no longer struggled with the fierce knights, and in the purple brilliance, began Retreating and starting to break away, a ferocious knight who was about to die let out a sharp and twisted scream and threw the spear in his hand towards the leading knight of the Holy See Knights.
The fierce knights proved their ferocity, fighting with an almost decisive attitude against the Holy See knights in front of them without falling behind even though there were gaps in all aspects.
But they were unable to stop these Holy See knights who wanted to leave.
In the gathering purple light, the Holy See Knight was about to leave the battle and began to turn back. At this moment, a spear streaked across the sky.
Perhaps because of the gathering purple brilliance, or perhaps because he became tired in the battle, the leading knight did not notice the spear streaking across the sky.
The spear deviated a little and missed the leading Holy See knight. In fact, even if it hit, it would be difficult to cause any special damage. It would probably be slipped away by the armor with engraved patterns, but this The spear carries the last hope of a dumb guy who is dying.
Reluctantly, looking at the deflected spear, he didn't even have the strength to roar again. The dark armor on his chest was dented downwards by the blow, and blood continued to overflow from his mouth.
The forging technology of the Skaven is indeed not out of date. Even in the face of this decadent empire that has embraced civilization for countless years, the armor of the fierce knights is still so hard.
Such a pursuit was achieved in a very short period of time. Pushing forward, not many years ago, the rat people who had built a twisted and sickly huge empire were still a group of rats chasing their heads and being chased by the lizard people. Guy.
It’s just that it’s still too simple.
The power of magic brought a huge increase to the knights of the Holy See. Among the powerful powers, the long swords swung at will were unbearable, and the thick armor was dented by the force.
The ferocious knight fell to the ground with a ferocious expression.
The Holy See Knights began to move away, running wildly in this endless gray-black tide.
The ratmen along the way were trampled without hesitation. The chaotic situation in front of the city gate was reversed after these knights rushed in. The madly surging ratmen warriors began to flee in terror. Those magic knights He breathed a sigh of relief, but he was unwilling to accept the favor of these Holy See knights.
I want to hold my head high against these guys like before, but now this embarrassing situation does not allow it, and I am a little at a loss what to do.
The human troops in front of the city gate all breathed a sigh of relief. This Holy See knight was their last appearance.
The angry rat war began to wave the flag, and the rat war team began to move forward. However, there were too many rat men gathered here. Even though the rat war team had begun to press forward, they could not transmit it immediately. The rat warriors gathered in front of the city gate came up.
The human side retreated to the city in embarrassment.
