Chapter 362, Rat Knights Gradually Retiring from the Era
The fanatical Rat Knights did not disappoint their commander. They took the lead and crashed into the human army in the river valley before the charging Rat Warriors. In the temporary position constructed, he slammed into the elemental chaos cannon that was still being calibrated.
After getting closer, the human soldiers in this position had two completely different reactions.
The soldiers stationed in this valley felt panic. Facing the rat knights who rushed towards them, facing those fierce rat knights, they seemed to be stunned, losing their movements and trembling. 's standing in place.
On the opposite end of the spectrum are the remnants of the Empire's First Magical Equipment Force who retreated here for transit.
These guys pulled down the goggles on their foreheads without hesitation and took out the war hammers from their waists.
Such a reaction is not surprising. The war was too brutal, and there were very few veterans who retired from the battlefield.
More and more recruits are filling the battlefield. Those recruits who have been rushed into the battlefield after a period of time, especially in the backward and second-line troops, this trend is even more obvious. The rat army, which peered at the defense lines and fortresses day and night, locked the elite troops tempered by the flames of war to the battle line.
If it hadn’t been for the last war, the Empire’s First Magical Equipment Troop suffered too serious losses, and this time’s repairs would not have been their turn at all. Moreover, this time’s repairs, this batch of retreating troops would have lost too much. In addition to repairing and replenishing personnel, the Empire's No. 1 Magical Equipment Troops at the rear also have the task of training new recruits.
Under the strong pressure brought by the rat people, capable guys have no choice but to endure more things until they are completely crushed.
The ball that could emit high-frequency harsh noises and dazzling light was thrown out. It was only then that he understood what the function of the pulled down goggles was.
This is a magical energy device specially designed for rat knights.
Harsh noise, dazzling light, simple trigger, excellent effect, and most importantly, this is not a one-time item and can be recharged repeatedly.
An extremely targeted thing.
The distorted giant rats became violent in such harsh noises, and gradually became uncontrollable. The rat knights on them were quickly thrown off the giant rats.
While rolling, they climbed up very quickly. In the past three years, the armors worn by the rat knights have also gone through several rounds of optimization, and finally settled on a type of armor with three layers of tanned leather as the base, and large pieces of stamped plate armor. Inlaid on it, it is fixed in this form.
While retaining a certain degree of defensive capabilities, it also provides rat knights with greater flexibility and mobility.
The heavily armored knights have gradually withdrawn from the battlefield, except for the temple guards whose physical fitness and equipment are abnormal.
Even for a lightly armored knight, it is unrealistic to charge head-on. The more important role is to use mobility to cross the enemy's weak points in the battle line and attack the enemy's logistics and civilians.
In the past three years, the rat knights who crossed the front line again and again left behind a terrifying reputation in their brutal killings and violent advances.
The rat knights running in the dark were once used by ordinary farmers to scare their children.
This is almost the last glory of the rat knights.
After all, we are gradually falling behind the ongoing war at this time.
In the past three years, through innovation after innovation, the armor of the rat knights became thinner and thinner until it was finalized in the current plate style.
However, falling behind and being eliminated also depends on whose hands it is. In the hands of a poor man like Qi, these rat knights are still moving forward, no matter how weak they are.
The giant rat fell down, quickly climbed up, raised the spear in his hand high, and lunged at the enemy in front of him while screaming.
More rat knights arrived one after another, roaring, raising their spears high.
At the front of the battle line, the two sides have become entangled and started fighting.
At the rear, methodical shooting was going on. More gray beams were stimulated and thrown forward. Facing these rat knights who actively approached, there was no need to shoot at all. aim.
Just pull the trigger, and the rat knights will fall down one by one while running wildly.
Three-quarters of the rat knights will not survive the moment they collide with the enemy, and in the remaining quarter, more will fall on the ball that makes a sharp explosion.
The era of rat knights has indeed passed.
However, at least on this battlefield, the balance of victory still depends on them.
If the elemental chaos cannon is not stopped from continuing to fire, there is a high probability that Qi and the troops in his hands will fall on the road of charge, and they will not even be able to get close.
Qi’s fight will also become a joke.
No, it might not be a joke. He and the troops in his hands, these despicable guys, probably not many people would care if they died.
Just like the colleague who met Qida not long ago, even though his life and death were uncertain for the past three years, no ratman cared whether he was alive or not.
Of course, Qi didn't care, but he was unwilling to suffer the same result.
Can this Rat Knight do all this?
Not sure.
This era is no longer the era of rat knights, and the rat knights in the banner are obviously not so elite that they can crush everything.
To be fair.
Even though Qi gave the best he could to support these two troops, it was a pity that ordinary weapons were mixed with a lot of old and damaged armor and equipment, and the bodies were not strong enough. Quality, a team of ordinary or even deviant rat knights.
That is, it is just a little higher than the standard line of the mixed group of rat mercenaries. It's hard to say what kind of expectations it can bear.
But unexpectedly, the performance was okay.
The immature dock defenders, after coming back to their senses from a daze, also started shooting randomly. However, in fear, they had almost no accuracy except for the random shooting.
However, no effective measures have been taken.
A group of rat knights just broke through the dense barrage and crashed into it.
This simple position is not rigorous enough. It is simply piled up with sandbags and wooden crates that can be seen everywhere on the dock.
Jumping over the heavy wooden crates and overturning the simple piles of sandbags to the ground, the rat knights did not hold back at all and almost hit without hesitation. In the collision, the heads of the giant rats were bruised and bloody. The scattered rough gravel rubbed against the squirming scarlet flesh, making these huge rats become even more violent, and they stood upright.
If these human warriors can have the upper hand when fighting the rat knights who are forced to roll off the backs of the giant rats, then the rat knights riding on the giant rats will have no control over these close-range rats. If the heretic is close at hand, then killing is also so simple.
The thrusting spear easily picked up the chaotic dock defenders one by one.
Throw it out hard.
The veterans of the Empire's First Magical Equipment Force at the rear wanted to assist the part that had been broken into, but the Ratman gun-carrying troops in the valley also started to fire after completing their preparations.
A faint blue beam of light streaked across the sky, falling condescendingly towards the human position.
The warriors at the front were still fighting against the rat knights who had fallen from the giant rats.
The elemental chaos cannon completed its calibration again, and the expanding elemental storm engulfed the rat people.
It's still a little bit worse, still a little bit worse.
The flag still stands on the battlefield.
This guy who was not afraid of death started shouting loudly and crazily on the battlefield.
“Kill them! Kill them!
I will never be willing to stop here, I will never be willing to do so!
Kill them! Kill them! ”
For a time, this harsh and sharp roar suppressed the noise of the front line in the valley.
All the guys present, whether ratmen or humans, could clearly hear the crazy roar coming from Qi at this moment.
Although in the end, this roar became a sentence that was repeated over and over again.
“Kill them!”
But sometimes, those ordinary rat people, these despicable guys, can’t understand more complicated words.
Such a roar is not without effect and can be regarded as an incentive. After all, at this time, on the chaotic and bloody battlefield, their commander was roaring madly and manically.
In this roar, the eyes of the rat knights gradually turned red.
Forward, move forward desperately, rushing towards the elemental chaos cannon set up behind.
Too close, too close, these rat knights are about to succeed, they are about to rush to the elemental chaos cannon.
It was at this time that the lighting technique in the sky was about to end, and the light was gradually dimming.
The world returned to darkness, and what came into view were the pairs of scarlet eyes that lit up in the darkness.
The mage who controlled the elemental chaos cannon aimed the cannon at the approaching rat knights in a rage that almost made him lose his mind.
This is a mage of the fire element school who retreated from the battlefield with the empire's first magic weapon unit. A year ago, he had just received the official mage certificate issued by the academy and came to that cruel battlefield. .
A year of almost non-stop fighting seems to have completely crushed him.
In this gap where I thought I could rest.
I chose to fire without hesitation.
But this is on the dock.
The panicked elemental storm lit up the night, and traces of the running rat knights were also revealed. These guys who were rushing forward lost their movements and turned into stone statues.
But the board breaks, wait! Board breaks? !
After a brief period of light, the valley fell into darkness again.
Like a chain reaction, there were constant clicks of broken boards, like firecrackers being lit.
