MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 29 Night Fight (Part 1)
Mage is a kind of unpleasant existence, whether as an opponent or as a teammate. This was when heather or a knight obeys an old knight.
Many years ago, the Cangshi Empire had participated in the war against the Twilight Moon Kingdom. In the catastrophe that swept almost the entire human world, the number of casters appeared far more than it is today. The original mysterious mystery controller is in In the war, they also fought like ordinary soldiers and died. It can be said that the human nations can now treat the caster with a relatively peaceful attitude. In that war, the friendship and understanding of fighting side by side as a united front played a vital role. . The old knight was one of the survivors who survived this war. According to himself, he had walked with the master who could control the weather and drove the dragon, and he had beheaded and smashed with one person. City-state spellcasters, he understands these spellcasters far more than ordinary people.
In the description of the old man, the mage was a recognized crow's mouth when he was in his camp. Their inadvertent words may point out the imminent danger. After personal experience, no one will ignore the warning from the caster. But at the same time, although the mages are good at predicting the imminence of danger, even they themselves are often unable to determine when and how this danger will occur. Therefore, their words often bring the whole army on alert for several days.
Heather now feels this way. The headwoman of the horsewoman attaches great importance to the warning of the cheese, but although the mage himself said that he should guard against the sneak attack of the native ratmen, he did not say how many of these ratmen will come at that time of the night, so the cheese ’s In a word, the result is that the entire camp is completely restless. Whether it's the Hammer Knight or the Frost Guard, everyone is holding their weapons and waiting for the enemy to arrive. This waiting is undoubtedly a kind of torment. The highly tense nerves made the knights responsible for sentry often give false warnings. In fact, although it was only three hours into the night, five false alarms had appeared throughout the camp. Heather had to reduce the guard ’s sentinel time, but more frequent changes of guards meant a larger blind spot. Although the female knight knew that this was a taboo for marching, she was helpless in the current special circumstances .
Finally, in the fifth hour of the night, the sentry finally sounded a correct alarm. Looking at the green flashing eyes near the camp, Heather felt relieved.
"There are ten in total, but I am not sure if there are more coming." The knight commander said to the mage who walked to him.
"Firelight and human scent are bound to attract them. These native ratmen are thorough predators. I'm afraid they can't stand being hungry any longer." The cheese nodded, although the green eyes could be seen, but The mage can't get the exact location of these ratmen. He must wait for these hungry meat eaters to enter the range of firelight before they can start to deal with it.
"Why didn't they rush up?" Elsa frowned and wondered.
"Experienced beasts will take a wait-and-see attitude towards the crowd. They need to determine our threat. Don't underestimate the wisdom of beasts, let alone, they used to be humans." "Monkey" explained in a low voice, he was among several people One of the few people who can clearly see the movements of the rats in the dark.
"Don't think of them as simple animals, although they are no longer humans, but they still have the ability to think." The mage made a correction. In this regard, he has paid the price. Moreover, Gloria only attacked a few animals at that time, and she completely relied on instinct. What would be the performance of the native ratmen who are more free in the growing environment, let alone these warriors, even the mage I dare not speculate.
The words of cheese make everyone feel tight. Indeed, if these native ratmen are just beasts with physical qualities, it is not a fear, but if they can still think like humans, they do n’t have to be like normal people. They still have the intelligence of about ten years old, which is enough to become a very dangerous existence.
"They are coming!" The crowd exclaimed, and the green eyes around them began to gradually approach the campfire of the campsite.
"Everyone, line up, prepare to fight!" In such an environment, the knights can't ride on their mounts and rush into the darkness to kill the enemy. They have to give up their best way of combat and follow the instructions of Heather. Form a small team and defend around the camp.
"His ..." As the enemy approached, the sound of Zuo Suo began to appear. These native ratmen seemed to be talking in unknown language. They looked around the camp, did not rush to attack, and seemed to be looking for The weakness of the prey.
If looking at the green light spot in the dark before is just creepy, then surrounded by these deformed monsters in the only fire light, a twisted shape will flash from time to time in the darkness in front of you, which puts pressure on people Is different. As the blood lion's staff once said, these fighters who are used to fighting may be more afraid than fighting the enemy directly, it is this kind of spiritual oppression. Soon, someone became crazy because of being too nervous.
"Ah!" A knight suddenly roared out of the line of defense and waved towards the blurred shadow in the dark in front of him, of course, he didn't cut anything. But the knight, who had been so nervous by those disturbing voices, had no intention of returning to his comrades-in-arms. He was waving the knight sword madly in the dark alone, and it seemed that it was in the invisible enemy battle. UU reading www.uukanshu. And the teammates of the Cavaliers and the squad were frightened by his sudden move. They stood on the edge of the fire and did not know what to do next.
"Damn, get him back!" The knights brought out by Heather were all carefully selected. Each of them is a valuable asset of the Hammer Knights. As a knight, Heather could not tolerate the loss of his subordinates who had not yet seen the enemy ’s body.
The knights who got the order were brave and prepared to get the lagging guy back, but when they were about to walk out of the fire, Jack suddenly shouted.
"Don't go!"
Almost as "Monkey" shouted this sentence, a screaming scream came from the direction of the out-of-team knight. The nearby knights hurriedly torched, and they saw a frightening scene.
Some horrible creatures with rough human appearances but resembling mice attacked the poor knight from different directions. His knight's sword had fallen to the ground due to a bite in his hand, not only his arm, but his ability to wield a weapon. At the moment, four or five native ratmen had attacked his limbs and torso. They use sharp arms or front claws to insert into the gaps of the armor, use the unimaginable force to tear the knight's armor along the gap between the plates, and then use their sharp teeth to destroy the knight's fragile body. organization.
Flesh and blood flying, perhaps this is the simplest word to describe this scene. The ratmen clearly realized that they were illuminated by the torch light, and they quickly dragged the dying knight out of the torch's lighting range and hid again in the darkness. The screaming and chewing voice from the darkness outside the camp also showed the knight's end.
