Chapter 362, the Rat Knights gradually withdraw from the era

The fanatical rat knights did not disappoint their commander. They took the lead and rushed into the temporary position built by the human army in the valley ahead of the charging rat warriors, and rammed into the elemental chaos cannon that was still being calibrated.

After getting close, the human soldiers in this position had two completely different reactions.

The soldiers in this valley station felt panic. Facing the rat knights rushing in front of them and those ferocious rat knights, they seemed to be stunned, lost their movements, and stood trembling in place.

In stark contrast to them were the remnants of the Empire's First Magical Machinery Army who retreated here for transit.

These guys pulled down the goggles on their foreheads without hesitation and drew the war hammers at their waists.

Such a reaction is not surprising. The war was too tragic, and there were very few veterans retreating from the battlefield.

More and more new soldiers were added to the battlefield. Those who had been in the battlefield for a period of time were rushed to the battlefield. This trend was even more obvious in the rear and second-line troops. The rat army, which was spying on the defense lines and fortresses day and night, locked the elite troops tempered by the fire of war on the front line.

If it weren't for the fact that the Empire's First Magical Machinery Army suffered too much loss in the last war, they would not have been able to repair this time. Moreover, this time, the Empire's First Magical Machinery Army retreating to the rear, in addition to repairing and replenishing, they also had to undertake the task of training new soldiers.

Under the strong pressure brought by the rats, capable guys had to bear more things until they were completely crushed.

The ball that could emit high-frequency harsh noises and dazzling glare was thrown out. Only at this time did they understand what the role of the goggles that were pulled down was.

This is a magic device specially designed for rat knights.

Harsh noise, dazzling glare, simple triggering, excellent effect, and most importantly, it is not a disposable item, it can be recharged repeatedly.

A very targeted thing.

The distorted giant rats became violent in such a harsh noise, and gradually became uncontrollable, and the rat knights on them were quickly thrown off the giant rats.

Rolling and climbing up very quickly, in the past three years, the armor on the rat knights has also undergone several rounds of optimization, and finally settled in a form with three layers of tanned leather armor as the base, and large pieces of stamped plate armor inlaid on it, and settled in this form.

While retaining a certain degree of defensive capability, it provides the rat knights with greater flexibility and mobility.

The heavy armored knights have gradually withdrawn from the battlefield, except for the group of temple guards whose physical fitness and equipment are abnormal.

Even for light armored knights, it is unrealistic to want to charge head-on. The more important role is to use mobility to cross the weak points of the enemy's front line to attack the enemy's logistics and civilians.

In the past three years, the rat knights who crossed the battle line again and again left a terrible notoriety in their brutal killings and violent advances.

The rat knights running in the dark night once became the targets of ordinary farmers to scare their children.

This is almost the last glory of the rat knights.

After all, they are gradually falling behind the ongoing war.

In the past three years, in the repeated innovations, the armor on the rat knights became thinner and thinner until it was finalized in the current style.

However, falling behind and being eliminated also depends on who is in the hands. In the hands of the poor man Qi, these rat knights are moving forward no matter how weak they are.

The giant rat fell down, quickly climbed up, raised the spear in his hand high, and rushed towards the enemy in front of him with a hiss.

More rat knights arrived one after another, roaring and raising their spears high.

At the front of the battle line, the two sides have been entangled and started fighting.

In the back, the shooting was going on in an orderly manner. More gray beams were triggered and thrown forward. Facing these rat knights who came over actively, there was no need to aim at all.

Just pull the trigger, and the rat knights will fall down one by one in the wild run.

Three-quarters of the rat knights will not survive the moment of colliding with the enemy, and among the remaining quarter, more will fall on the round ball that emits a sharp explosion.

The era of rat knights is indeed over.

However, at least on the battlefield at this time, the balance of victory still depends on them.

If the elemental disorder cannon is not stopped from continuing to fire, then Qi and the army in his hands will most likely fall on the road of charge, and they will not even be able to get close.

Qi's life-and-death struggle will also become a joke.

No, it may not be a joke. He and the army in his hands, these humble guys, probably won't care if they die.

Just like the colleague who met Qi not long ago, even though his life and death were uncertain for the past three years, no one of the ratmen cared whether he was alive or not.

Of course, Qi didn't care either, but he was unwilling to accept the same result.

But can this group of ratmen knights do all this?

Not sure.

This era is no longer the era of ratmen knights, and the ratmen knights in Qi's hands are obviously not elite enough to crush everything.

To be fair.

Even if the flag gave the best it could to support these two troops, it was a pity that the ordinary weapons, mixed with a lot of old and damaged armor, and the physical fitness were not strong enough, and they were ordinary or even deviant rat knights.

That is, they were just a little higher than the standard line of the mixed rat mercenaries.

It is hard to say what kind of expectations they can bear.

But unexpectedly, they performed well.

After the group of young dock defenders came to their senses in a trance, they also started shooting randomly, but in fear, they had almost no accuracy except for the random shooting.

But no effective measures were taken.

A rat knight just broke through the dense barrage and rushed over fiercely.

This simple position was not rigorous enough, and it was simply piled up with sandbags and wooden crates that could be seen everywhere on the dock.

Crossing over those heavy wooden crates, overturning the simply stacked sandbags to the ground, the rat knights did not stop at all, and almost hit without hesitation. In the collision, the heads of the giant rats were smashed into a bloody mess, and the scattered rough gravel rubbed the squirming scarlet flesh, making these huge rats more violent and standing up.

If these human warriors can gain the upper hand when fighting against the rat knights who were forced to roll off the backs of the giant rats, then the rat knights riding on the giant rats can also kill these heretics who are close at hand.

The stabbing spears easily picked up the chaotic dock guards one by one.

Throwing them out heavily.

The veterans of the Empire's First Magical Mechanical Corps in the rear wanted to assist the part that was penetrated, but the ratmen carrying guns in the valley also started firing after completing their preparations.

The dark blue beams of light streaked across the sky and fell towards the human positions from a high position.

The warriors at the front were still fighting with the rat knights who had fallen from the giant rats.

The elemental chaos cannon completed the calibration again, and the expanding elemental storm engulfed the rats.

It was still a little short, still a little short.

The flag still stood on the battlefield.

This fearless guy 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!

Kill them! Kill them!"

For a time, this harsh and sharp roar suppressed the noisy sound of the front line in the valley.

All the guys present, whether they were rats or humans, could clearly hear the crazy roar from the flag at this moment.

Although in the end, such a roar became a sentence that was repeated over and over again.

"Kill them!"

But sometimes, those ordinary rats, these humble guys, who were in large numbers, could not understand more complicated words.

Such roars are not without effect, and can be regarded as a kind of motivation. After all, at this time, on the chaotic and bloody battlefield, their commander was roaring crazily and manically.

In this roar, the eyes of the rat knights gradually turned red.

Forward, recklessly forward, rushing towards the elemental chaos cannon set up in the rear.

Too close, too close, these rat knights will succeed, they will rush to the elemental chaos cannon.

It was at this time that the illumination 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 accompanying mage who operated the elemental chaos cannon aimed the muzzle at the rat knights who were getting closer and closer in the rage that almost made him lose his mind.

This was a fire elemental school mage who had retreated from the battlefield with the Empire's First Magical Machinery Army. One year ago, he had just received a formal mage certificate from the academy and came to that cruel battlefield.

A year of almost non-stop fighting seemed to be completely crushing him.

In this gap when he thought he could rest.

He chose to fire without hesitation.

But this was on the dock.

The panicked elemental storm illuminated the night, and the running rat knights also revealed their traces. These guys who were rushing forward lost their movements and turned into stone statues.

But the wooden board broke, wait! The wooden board broke? !

After a brief light, the valley fell into darkness again.

As if it was a chain reaction, there were continuous clicks of broken wooden boards, like lit firecrackers.
