The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 859 - 541: Flame Descent

"What should we do now? What on earth should we do!"

In the mouse’s camp, inside the command tent heavily guarded by a large force, the mouse commander was screaming sharply.

While screaming, it trembled, appearing nervous and frequently looking around.

Though outside the tent were many mice guarding, including elite forces among the mice. These elites received the blessings of the evil rat, dressed in fine armor, wielding weapons, trained to have no fear.

However, even amid such tight protection, this mouse commander still showed cowardice, as if an enemy might descend from the sky at any moment to take its life.

A plague mouse sat casually on a chair, emitting a stench unbearable even to its kind. Without a trace of fear, it spoke lazily and dismissively: "What solution is there? Why don’t you beg the evil rat to command those apostles to protect you?"

"Haha! The evil rat would surely devour us first!" Across the table, another mouse with half its head damaged and brain exposed laughed hysterically like a madman.

"Shut up, all of you!" A deep roar, not quite fitting the sharp voice of a mouse, rang out.

The voice came from the evil rat priest standing by the table, holding a giant bone scepter. With its venomous eyes, it glanced disdainfully at the timid commander next to it and scolded, "You cowardly mouse, put away that damned weakness."

Then, its eyes slowly scanned each mouse present.

"The evil rat orders, you’re allowed to call upon its name in times of crisis, and it will descend with power to let those arrogant night watchers taste bitterness."

As soon as its words ended, a piercing screech suddenly erupted.

"Whew!"

"Enemy attack! Scatter quickly!"

The mouse commanders who had been discussing affairs around the table suddenly panicked and fled in all directions.

Along with the screech came a powerful impact. This huge impact directly flipped the entire tent.

The surrounding mice were thrown up and fell down with the shock wave.

Flames poured down from the sky.

A huge fireball exploded in the sky, breaking into a shower of flames falling down. Under this sky full of fire, five figures descended from above.

"Who did you just say should taste the might?"

A young male voice sounded. With the voice, a youth clad in exquisite flame-patterned armor, holding a longsword burning fiercely, steadily walked out from the shadow of the fire rain.

Following him were his four teammates, a typical night watcher team configuration.

Ranged mage, archer, assassin, and warrior, all fully present. Their armor differed, but outside they wore a robe with flame patterns.

This is the newly formed "Soul Guardian" team of night watchers—the "Flame Descent."

They came this time to execute the commonly used tactic of the United Army—decapitation mission.

That is, breaking through enemy defenses layer by layer, striking directly at the enemy’s stronghold, aiming to wipe out the enemy’s command leaders.

"Quick and decisive! Everyone performed excellently in the last mission; this time, let’s make our team’s name echo in these mice’s ears!"

The youth captain holding the flaming longsword was evidently filled with fervor.

And his teammates were equally enthusiastic, yelling as they launched attacks.

The captain wielded the flaming longsword, its blade drawing a crimson trajectory, instantly compressing heat to form a striking crimson line in the night, slashing towards its target.

The evil rat priest’s scepter, ten meters away, suddenly snapped in two. The foul-smelling purple smoke hadn’t yet spewed out from the break before being vaporized into charred fragments by the high temperature of the sword blade.

Don’t be fooled by this young captain’s age; he joined the night watcher’s new recruit training camp at twelve.

He was truly one of the first batch of preparatory night watchers, brought by Kana from Riverfront Town to the Eastern Wilderness with his soldier father.

To a certain extent, he can even be considered a veteran.

Young but experienced, he became the team’s captain not just through fervor and prowess.

"Don’t let that scepter fall!" The mage swiftly formed a triple seal with both hands, and the suspended fire rain immediately gathered into seven fire whirlwinds. One fire whirlwind accurately pierced through an elite rat guard trying to catch the scepter, melting the rat guard’s bone armor into crimson iron under the terrifying high temperature.

The remaining fire whirlwinds began rampant around, successfully blocking those mice troops trying to come to aid.

Just a little delay is enough.

After all, even though the overall strength of the night watchers has somewhat improved, not just any team qualifies as "Soul Guardian" and receives a distinctive name.

"Squeak, ahhh! Taste my father’s embrace!" The plague mouse’s swollen body suddenly exploded, releasing a large ink-green toxic cloud. However, the toxic cloud was pinned to the ground by a bursting arrow shot by the archer before reaching the night watcher robe.

The arrow shaft wrapped in holy silver exploded afterward, producing a circle of purification ripples that cleansed the plague aura within a thirty-meter radius entirely clean.

Next, a fiery red glass bottle was thrown over, exploding and mixing with the surrounding chaos power, a fire element rose up from the ground to join the battle.

"Whoa! This thing is really handy."

The assassin’s shadow blade withdrew from the mad mouse’s nape as the brain of this modified mouse commander was still pulsing with neuroelectricity.

"The evil rat’s... blessing..." The exposed brain tissue was soon corroded by dark flames into ash, and the frenzied electronic sound abruptly ceased.

The battle lasted only a few minutes, and the enemy’s key leaders had been wiped out one by one, losing all ability to resist.

"Now only you remain." The captain gently lifted the trembling mouse commander’s chin with the sword tip, firelight reflecting the distorted mouse face of fear.

The scorching blade burned the mouse’s skin, causing it to screech in pain.

But even so, this mouse commander with approximately level eight power remained unresisting.

It had completely lost its fighting spirit due to fear.

"Bah, truly a cowardly mouse, not even as good as these elite mice."

With a sweep of the blade, accompanied by scorching blue smoke, a mouse head rolled to the ground.

And their team still had one last member.

Outside the defensive line formed by fire whirlwinds, the sound of shield warrior fighting boomed—the profound steel tower shield measured in tons just crushed the last ratman heavy armor squad.

The yet-undead evil rat priest suddenly tore open its chest and abdomen, letting the black blood gushing from its internal organs outline a grim rat head totem in the air: "In the name of my lord—"

"Too slow, we’ve been listening to you for half a day, do you think we would be unprepared?" The mage slammed the magic staff heavily on the ground, and the twelve-layered flame burst barrier instantly enveloped the entire camp.

The mage took out a crystal stone from its waist that gleamed with milky-white light and crushed it.

Muttering under breath, "Good thing I prepared one in advance, wonder if I can get reimbursement."

The crystal stone’s power dyed the mage’s flames with different hues, becoming holy and pure.

The evil rat shadow attempting descent emitted a piercing shriek in the pure white holy flame, while the evil rat priest’s shriveled husk burst like a shattered clay pot.

The captain flicked away the blood beads on the sword, gazing at the collapsing ratman camp in purification flames, saying, "Send a message to headquarters, informing that the mice’s command camp located at the Seventh Battle Zone has been successfully decapitated by the ’Flame Descent’ team. Let them start the offensive."

Four teammates silently withdrew their weapons, the flame crest on their cloaks indistinctly shown in the night, like embers heralding the end.

In the sky, the griffin knights who had brought them here took in this scene entirely.

The dwarf shook its head helplessly, covering its eyes with its hand.

"Enough already, don’t they feel any shame in doing this?"
