Chapter 75, Violent Assassin
A noisy voice sounded, but it was the big shot of the Rat Man.
After the temple guards appeared, he suddenly became energetic, and the panic and fear on his face was swept away almost instantly.
Shout loudly to the temple guard not far away.
"Quick! Get me out quickly! Then kill these guys! What are you idiots doing standing still!"
In that loud and piercing cry.
The senior rat-man priest did not see that there was some impatience and irritability in the pair of scarlet eyes that emerged from the darkness behind him.
A short black blade swiped across the neck of this once great man like a butterfly piercing a flower.
Accompanied by angry shouts coming from not far away.
"stop!"
In that moment of suffocation, the senior ratman priest opened his mouth wide and gradually realized what was happening.
His eyes were filled with expressions of disbelief.
Even if he was captured, he felt that at least he would die in the god's sacrificial ceremony and become the most noble person among the sacrifices.
Although he was not willing to accept such a fate, the scrawled death method at this time made it even more difficult for him to accept.
Whimpering and trying to swallow air, the body that was nourished by blood mushrooms and was more energetic than the average rat man tried to stand up.
But it was all to no avail. He fell to the ground, blood overflowing, and made no sound.
The rat assassin who killed him didn't even look at this guy. Instead, he stared at the angry temple guard captain in the distance, his red eyes narrowed.
At this time, the true colors of these assassins were revealed.
These are black rats with jet-black fur and blood-red eyes. Their backs are stooped, which makes them appear much shorter and slender than ordinary rat people.
This kind of slenderness is not that skinny and thin, but a kind of slenderness that represents sensitivity and lightness.
Opposite them were the group of temple guards wearing armor, holding shields and spears.
The team leader among them was even red-eyed.
As the captain of the temple guards, he is undoubtedly the elite among the rat men. Even in the rat war, his starting point is just the captain of the temple guards.
In the past, two rat men who were both captains also fought against each other, but now, Rat Zhan has become the great warlord of the rat men, and he is still a small captain.
The strong sense of disparity and the huge jealousy almost overwhelmed him at a certain period of time, which also created the current situation.
Not only was he jealous of Rat Zhan, he was also jealous of the White Rat who didn't give him this chance.
After this jealousy was seen through by the old priest, it was very easy for him to get on the chariot that would never return.
Now he has no way out. Only by relying on the old guy's hidden family assets and some secret tunnels interspersed in the mountains can he survive the white rat's purge.
But the old guy was killed in front of him!
He obviously had no way out, and all that was waiting for him was death.
The captain of the Ratman Temple Guard realized his fate at this moment.
But before that, in a rage, he decided to give death to the group of guys in front of him who had shattered his hope of survival!
"Kill them!"
In his angry shouts, this group of rat temple guards, consisting of only about fifteen people, began to march in the narrow tunnel.
It was much larger than the wooden shields usually equipped by rat warriors, and the shield was obviously reinforced with animal fur and tendons and was held in front of him.
Spears shot out one after another.
In an instant, the formation was completed.
"charge!"
At the captain's order, the temple guards who set up a battle formation began to charge.
In an instant, these temple guards completed their acceleration, and their formation remained perfect without making any mistakes.
In the roaring charge, several rat assassins who failed to dodge in time were pierced by wooden spears and were also held up by shields and violently hit the rock wall of the tunnel.
With that dull sound, the wooden spears shattered into pieces the moment they hit the rock wall. This was the end of the spears that were specially made from the hard wood in the forest.
What's more, the rat assassin didn't wear armor or take any effective protection.
The Rat Assassin, who was unable to dodge and was penetrated and collided, became silent almost instantly.
In this narrow tunnel, this group of charging temple guards gives you a sense of invincibility. You can believe that when hundreds of temple guards block the end of the tunnel and roar towards you, these guys will How much fear would it bring.
Compared to them, those rat assassins seemed particularly silent.
Even when the temple guards started to charge, these guys silently dodged into the darkness around them. Even if they couldn't dodge before being penetrated, they would only let out a muffled groan at most, and then they would make no sound until they died.
Until those temple guards stepped into the darkness.
Only then did the sharp dark blade with no edge appear suddenly, and with those almost silent steps, it nimbly passed over the spears and shields in the hands of the temple guards.
The slender figure crashed into the arms, but it was not accompanied by the budding spring scenery, but death. It was separated from the body at the touch, leaving only the cut throat.
In one fell swoop, several temple guards fell in the unexpected attack.
But the temple guards were indeed worthy of their reputation as the most elite force of the rat people. Soon, the warriors who reacted dropped the heavy wooden shields and the spears in their hands that were suitable for use in large-scale melees. .
Switch to a weapon that is more suitable for use in small environments, the use of short spears.
Large battle formations were obviously no longer suitable for small-scale melees. The temple guards quickly dispersed from the large group into small groups of three and three to attack the rat assassins in front of them.
But the Skaven Assassins are also true.
As a specialized assassin, when it was first established, it was considered that the target was protected by too many ratmen troops and could not get close.
They have also practiced battle formations, which is why they will be divided into teams of five when executing the capture of rat priests.
Because a team of five people is enough to defeat most of the rat warriors, slave rats, and personal guards around the rat priests, and then complete the forcible capture of the target.
Although as assassins they certainly can't compare with professionals.
But a short fight was enough.
The two sides fought together crazily. In that difficult battle, these quiet assassins who were immune to the priest's madness gradually became excited.
His eyes were as red as blood, and his attacks became faster and more crazy.
