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 order of the manic commander, the siege battle that had just ended was once again attacked by the rat people. Turn on.
In addition to the main entrance of the city where the fortress was raised, the city defenders still opened a way leading to the simple fortress.
The fortress erected 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.
That's 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 earth 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 during the 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, after being pushed over again by the rat man behind you, you faced It's just such a low wall. It's obvious that they don'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.
It was difficult to climb up, but these city guards were not very familiar with the methods of military mages. Faced with this situation, they appeared somewhat panicked, giving those rat warriors who struggled to climb up a chance.
The two sides fought in a group on the earth wall, and then fled in a hurry 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. There were no swollen ratmen, which was far away from the previous attack. Not long after the city ended, the Swollen Rat Man didn't have time to complete the cultivation.
There is no shortage of ratmen in the Eastern Expeditionary Force, but after all, the cultivation of swollen ratmen cannot be separated from blood mushrooms. Even if they can be cultivated by using the most inferior blood mushrooms, they are 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-men would not open up to supply, which made the effect of this attack much worse. However, the thrown boulder also carried great power. This was the purest attack.
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 possibly eccentric, landed on the top of the simple fortress. At this time, a large number of military mages gathered there. This boulder really hit the jackpot when it fell. A large number of The mage was turned into a pulp before he could even react. The situation was extremely tragic.
This time the trial 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, and the passage between the simple fortress and Mountain Dew City has collapsed.
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 Ratmen pouring into the city. This attempt failed. Even if the Stargazing Pope wants to persist, it is impossible to persist in this situation. , began to recall the troops outside the city. The troops sent this time were not worth mentioning compared to the size of the entire Mountain Dew City. Even if the entire army was annihilated, it would not be a big deal to this huge city.
There's 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 houses and shops of the nobles. Workshops, magic schools, and a large number of residents.
These 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 Skaven were aware of these heretics' attempts to retreat, which was seen by the Skaven 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 backwards 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 swords vigorously and easily cut off the rat men in half, but nothing could be changed.
There are fewer and fewer soldiers around, and there are more and more rat people around. These guys who are easily killed no longer bring fear to the rat people. On the contrary, the diffuse smell of blood is making these guys become more and more... Excited, increasingly manic.
A cowardly guy doesn't 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 peeps, 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 total number of wounded soldiers in the battle just now. time.
The heavy city gate began to close slowly with the dull sound of gears turning, leaving only a small gap. The Holy See knights no longer entangled with the ferocious knights. In the purple brilliance, they began to retreat and break away. A ferocious knight who was dying made 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 couldn't stop these Holy See knights who wanted to leave.
In the gathering purple brilliance, 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 from 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 the spear carried The last wish of a dead guy.
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 was constantly overflowing from his mouth.
The ratman's forging technology 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.
This kind of pursuit was achieved in a very short period of time. Pushing forward, not many years later, the rat people who had built a twisted and sickly huge empire were still a group of guys running around with their heads in their hands being chased by the lizard men.
However, it is still too simple.
The power of magic brought a huge increase to the knights of the Holy See. Among the powerful forces, 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. The magic knights breathed a sigh of relief, but And he was unwilling to accept the kindness of these knights of the Holy See.
But I wanted to hold my head high against these guys like before, but now this embarrassing situation didn't allow it, and I was 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.
