Alice tightly held the wooden iron-tipped gun in her hand and stared at the countless pairs of evil red eyes in the darkness without blinking. The scene in front of her reminded her of the encounter she encountered on the Gorel Mountains when she was a child.
Arrival of nocturnal wolves.
The difference is that the eyes of those wolves are green, cunning and cruel, while the eyes of the big rats in front of them are red, with a bit of bloodthirsty fury on top of cunning.
"Alice, never expose your back to wild beasts, use your courage, wisdom and ignited fire to drive them away..."
This is what my father told me, holding a scimitar in his hand, guarding the fire and fighting against the wolves. The weapon in his hand was much more terrifying than the scimitar in his father's hand.
His father's scimitar was made for hunting and skinning, while his own spear was made for killing.
The rat soldiers, who were half a man tall, finally faced the attacking magic falling from the sky and charged together with the sword and shield men in the front row.
"Stand up for the shield!"
The captain's cold voice came from my ears.
Sweet set up a one-meter-long half-body square iron shield, straightened his waist, and slammed into the rat who was wielding a knife.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
The red dagger struck the big iron shield, leaving only a shallow mark. The owner of the dagger was knocked to the ground by the impact from the iron shield, revealing his soft belly unprotected by the red scales.
"Draw out the gun!"
Familiar orders flew from the sky, Alice's eyes narrowed, she held the gun in both hands and stabbed the rat soldier in the belly.
It was like poking a skinned pheasant that was filled with water. After a bunch of colorful internal organs flowed out, the mouse in front of him stopped struggling and took his last breath.
A red-headed crossbow bolt flew towards him with a "whoosh" sound. Sweet set up the iron shield again and reminded the girl without looking back.
"Be careful to lower your body!"
Instinctively, she squatted down, and the crossbow bolt flew past her cheek dangerously. Alice felt that the right side of her face was a little warm, but she had no time to do anything. She could only hold the spear tightly, and the crazy rat soldier stepped on her companion's
The corpse pounced upon him again.
The swords met and blood flew.
Cut off the feet, chop off the legs, chop off the hands,
The rat infantry, who do not have an advantage in height, specialize in the three lower ranks of the soldiers and use all possible means. A rat holding an earthen jar threw the earthen jar in his hand at the sword and shield man in the front row. The earthen jar shattered on the iron shield and splashed.
A piece of dark green corrosive liquid was shot out,
The iron shield made a corroding sound, and the Noxian soldiers who were touched by the green liquid quickly screamed, and their flesh and blood melted like spring snow, revealing numerous white bones.
The broken formation soon ushered in more rat infantry. Fortunately, new sword and shield players stepped forward and blocked the rat attack...
Observing the situation on the battlefield, Lester looked a little grim.
Although we successfully gained the terrain advantage by clinging to the narrow mine, the casualties remained high. The weapons of these underground red-skinned rats were too weird. They looked very crude, but their hardness and sharpness were much higher than steel.
Moreover, these rats have many methods, and now it seems that there may be a commander coordinating the actions of the rats.
"Bone-corroding inflammation!"
Meredith finally completed the long-prepared black magic. The green cursed bone mud turned into a half-human ball of flame that shone with green light. Under the control of the female mage, it slowly flew into the mine.
It hit the ground silently.
"Pfft!"
The green fireballs that landed on the ground were like white phosphorus bombs falling from the sky, ejecting and exploding upwards. Hundreds of small balls of green flames quickly shot around, sweeping toward the rats overwhelmingly.
"Squeak squeak!!!"
Dozens of rats whose skins were stained by the green flames let out painful wails, and their escape instincts were aroused. The rats fled aimlessly around, and soon brought the green flames that burned their bodies to their companions.
, causing a new round of burning.
The green flames spread quickly like a plague virus, and the rat swarm's offensive was instantly defeated.
A rat whose body was set on fire tried to rush out of the hole and pounce on the soldiers of the Black Iron Guard, but was instantly killed by the Shadow Crossbowman.
"Squeak!"
An extremely sharp scream sounded from inside the cave, and the chaotic footsteps quickly faded away. Only the rats that had not burned through their bones were still screaming in pain, and soon lost their voices.
Seeing such a terrifying enemy being easily defeated by the weird green flames, many soldiers were a little more in awe of the black rose mage in black robes.
Lester frowned.
Reality and games are different after all. In this world, a powerful mage obviously doesn't only have four skills, just like Meredith doesn't only have 'bone-eroding flames'.
With a new understanding of the terrifying power of 'magic', Lester felt a little more gloomy.
The power of extraordinary beings is too powerful, which is not a good thing for most ordinary people and themselves.
However, now is not the time to think about this.
Seeing that the green flames in the mine were about to completely dissipate, Lester said coldly.
"Avoid the burning green flames! Collect all the items dropped by the mice quickly! The intact corpses must also be moved out, only within the entrance of the mine. The remaining mages prepare rock magic and quickly seal the mine after the soldiers come out!"
The soldiers holding torches moved very quickly. For fear of the rats returning, the soldiers clearly divided their labors and quickly carried the loot dropped by the rats, piling up a large pile outside the mine.
There were mutilated corpses, rotten animal skins, rat stone carvings, bone jewelry, gapped daggers, red-headed crossbow arrows, weird crossbows, and even a dozen dark red ‘stones’.
After all the soldiers came out, Black Rose's mage cast spells at the same time, using rock magic to quickly seal the mine.
In order to prevent rats from actively digging up rocks, Leicester also ordered the mage to set up several magic guards in the mine, which could serve as surveillance before the magic power disappeared.
After everything was done, the soldiers who calmed down looked at their comrades who were sleeping forever next to them, lowered their heads and remained silent.
Just to defend the entrance of a mine that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, more than fifty people in the Emerald Territory died, not counting the disabled, which was close to a quarter of the total number of Noxian Black Iron Guards. The losses were considerable.
heavy.
The enemy this time is far more terrifying than imagined.
"They were Noxians. They died with honor on the battlefield. They used their lives to buy us precious time, giving us the opportunity to understand what these rats that emerged from the ground were.
monster."
Lester's voice was very calm as he pointed to the dead rats and trophies piled on the ground.
"This group of rats is organized, disciplined, thoughtful, and knows how to forge.
They may have their own culture, but there is no doubt that they are armies, and they are the same existence as us.
Treating them as mice is the greatest disrespect to the dead soldiers.
They are warriors, warriors like us, warriors who want to exterminate us."
"The highest respect we can give to the rat warriors is to use the most brutal war to completely exterminate them, leaving no one behind."
After a pause, Lester said coldly.
"The genocidal war between us and the rats has just begun."
