Chapter 387, Desperate

On the streets of Hemgart, a group of people were moving slowly. The remnants of the militia and the escaped musketeers from the barracks moved vigilantly, squeezing the civilians in the middle.

"It's ruined, it's all ruined." Suria walked in the front, and the female knight's long golden hair was flying in the city of Hemgard in January, and the whole city was burning.

The female knight is still full of energy, but none of this can change the state of the entire army. Exhaustion, panic, and fear of the future, the motivational effect of Veronica's spell has disappeared.

Most of the civilians have lost their families and their property, soldiers have also lost their comrades in arms, and human morale is low.

The group of survivors walked along Mulan Avenue towards the city wall. There was no ratman army on the road. Suria ordered the most elite Mackensen Musketeers to stay behind, and she led the militia to explore the way ahead.

"Veronica, are you okay?" It was the first time for Suria to encounter such a serious situation. The female knight was very familiar with court politics, and she was a little unconfident about leading the army alone in the wild without knowing the military situation. She said to Veronica, "Sorry, I don't know much about wizards, I mean, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine, I still have about half of my mana reserve." Veronica shook her head, and the witch's face didn't look as good as she said: "I want to say, Mrs. Suria, our situation is not good , the four of us want to kill Hemgart and now more than 300 people want to kill Hemgart, these are two different concepts."

"I know, and we don't know the size of the Ratman." Suria frowned, and she looked up at the tall city wall of Hemgard in the distance: "But we can't give up on reaching out to those in trouble." Help."

There are still gunshots and artillery sounds on the walls, which shows that the defenders are still stubbornly resisting.

"I don't know what's going on with Trovik? Something happened to our little princess Jialan. The elder Aurora might get mad. Trovik is her only daughter." Veronica There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, she was leaning on her staff, and the gray streets and houses of Hemgard were now like a muddy pond.

This pool of rotten mud is half green venom and half red flame.

"Miss Teresa and the two Lord Rick Guards should be able to take care of themselves. The question now is, how do we get to the Church of Justice?" Suria felt that Veronica's answer was irrelevant, so the female knight had to emphasize it again: " I know that you and Ryan used to often go out on adventures together, and you must have more field combat and resilience than me."

"Boom" seemed to echo Suria's words, and Hemgart shook again.

In full view, half a block was swaying in front of everyone. A terrible landslide occurred in this city built on the mountainside. Half a block fell directly from the mountain. More than 20 houses fell into the abyss, and they waited for several seconds The bell, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from under the mountain range.

The heavy voice made everyone tremble with fear.

Veronica sighed softly, she walked to Suria's side, and said in a low voice: "The problem now is not how we decide to get to the Church of Justice, but which way we should take so that we can reach the Church of Justice as soon as possible , Our group of people have too big goals, madam, look at these human beings, they are about to lose their courage, we are not Ryan, as long as Ryan stands there, he is a living myth, these people will not be afraid, but you and I Different, perhaps in the eyes of these refugees and soldiers, I am a witch, not worthy of trust, Abel is a demon hunter, killing his own people is more diligent than killing the enemy, and you are a delicate daughter of a great nobleman, they There was a fundamental lack of trust in us and it was only behind the walls that they regained some confidence."

Only then did Surya realize how bad the situation was. The female knight observed the situation in the nearby streets, and then said, "Then shouldn't we let Ryan act separately from us just now?"

"It's right for Ryan to separate from us. He is too powerful to be used with us, and Ryan can attract the main force of the Ratmen.

He was right to split the action with us. "Veronica whispered: "We can only rely on ourselves!" "

"Captain Huber, may I ask what roads are there for us to reach the Church of Justice?" Surya then turned to Captain Huber of the Empire. He thought for a while and said, "There are still two more."

"The first is the barracks, where you can reach the city wall through the archer garrison tower, but now the barracks have collapsed, so this must not work."

"The second one is at the end of Boulevard Moulins. It will pass through Franz Square to reach the city gate. The stairs inside the city gate can reach the city wall."

"The third is... the earl's castle, the earl's castle is connected to the city wall, but currently the earl's castle..."

Huber raised his head, the earl's castle was burning, and no one knew what was going on.

"In any case, we have to go through the walls to reach the Church of Justice."

Surya lowered her head and thought, she was a little undecided.

Going through the city gate seems to be less risky, but if you encounter a large army of ratmen, you will have to fight hard. Walking through the earl's castle seems risky, but if the castle has fallen, then the large army of ratmen may have moved. If you are lucky , may not require too much fighting.

"Let's go through the city gate!" Before Suria could speak, Veronica took the initiative to say that Witch Jialan was very firm on this matter.

"That way, after walking this Mullan Avenue, Franz Square is in front of you. Follow the steps behind the statue in the square and walk two blocks at night, and you will reach the city gate." Huber hesitated, obviously knowing the pros and cons , so he was undecided. Seeing that Veronica walked through the city gate so resolutely, the captain of the empire let out a sigh of relief: "In this case, let's walk towards Franz Square."

"Everyone, be careful! Try to be as quiet as possible, don't speak loudly!" Veronica ordered, and Witch Jialan said to the team of more than 200 people: "I am thinking of everyone! If you want to live , please do as I tell you!"

At this time, a young musketeer raised his hand: "Of course we will follow your orders, witch, but can you tell us why we must go to the city gate through the square? If we go around to the earl's castle, we may can avoid..."

"Yes, we may be able to avoid a large force of ratmen, but is this useful? There are ratmen everywhere in the city. We can avoid them for a while, can we avoid them all the way? Even if we avoid them all the way, will we reach the Church of Justice? Don't face the siege of the Ratmen? And how much time will it take to detour the Earl's Castle? Will we be less likely to be hit by the Rat Surge? When encountering a problem, we must find a way to solve it instead of escaping from it! Don't you Your superiors have always taught you this way?" Veronica raised her eyebrows, and Witch Garland spoke sharply, pointing to the core of the problem.

When Veronica said this, the refugees and soldiers were a little frustrated, but they had to admit that Veronica was right. Many people just wanted to avoid the rat tide blindly, and didn't even consider whether the rat people were just innocent or not. Land looting, whether they will let survivors like them go.

The soldiers moved slowly along the street. Along the way, they could occasionally see some low-level slave rats and clan rats searching for food and spoils. The soldiers who survived naturally also went through the baptism of blood and fire. The single rats were killed on the spot, leaving no one alive.

When they reached the end of Mulan Avenue, the crowd stopped temporarily. They found an abandoned bakery with some food and water in it. Veronica immediately ordered everyone to eat something and rest in place.

On the top of a collapsed house, Suria, Veronica, Huber and Albert stood together to discuss what to do next, not far from Franz Square.

"Hey hey skaven! yesyes!"

A whole squad of Stormrat patrols is moving along Franz Square. They are shouting slogans and patrolling the square. The square is full of human corpses that have been hanged and eaten into bones. A large clock made of dimensional stone.

"What should we do now?" Empire Captain Huber frowned: "We want to pass through the square, we must get rid of this group of Ratmen. They seem to be the elite Ratmen."

"Stormrat, the elite troops of the Skaven rat people, is equivalent to the master knight of Brittany." Veronica whispered, and Witch Garland signaled everyone to calm down, and she was thinking of a way.

"We must eliminate the group of stormrats as soon as possible, otherwise they will definitely ring the bell and attract more rat swarms. The morale of soldiers and civilians has dropped to the bottom, and they will easily collapse under the impact of the rat swarm." The female knight shook her head. Although Suria is excellent in swordsmanship, she is a knight after all.

"I have a grenade made by a dwarf here." The demon hunter Abel said, and he took out a grenade from his arms: "Just one grenade may not kill the entire patrol team."

"The sound of the grenade is too loud, and it will definitely attract the attention of the rat swarm." Veronica raised an objection: "I can also directly destroy the patrol team by summoning meteors, but these movements are too loud!"

"No, the grenades made by the dwarves are not that loud. At least the noise here must be smaller than the noise on the city wall." Huber whispered, "Do we have any other solutions?"

Now everyone present nodded, there was really no other way.

Five minutes later, more than 30 musketeers found their positions and hidden positions. They raised their muskets and aimed at the team of Stormrat patrols in the square.

Abel took out the grenade and was about to ignite it. Veronica released a fireball, and the basin-sized fireball gathered in the palm of Witch Garland. Veronica told everyone: "Get ready, I will give you an order, Abel Er, you throw the grenade first, I will release the fireball technique, when the grenade is about to explode, all the musketeers will fire together, be sure to quickly destroy this entire team of Stormrats!"

"Understood." People answered in low voices.

"Three." The grenade fuse was lit.

"Two." Veronica pushed out the fireball technique, and the red fireball exuded scorching heat.

"One!" The musketeers all squeezed the trigger.

"Fire!"

"Hey, hey, hey!" The group of Stormrats was patrolling, and a black dwarf grenade fell into the middle of their team.

"Boom!" The grenade exploded among the rats, and the stumped limbs and arms flew around. In an instant, five storm rats were killed on the spot.

"Fireball!" Veronica's fireball fell into the swarm of rats, and the explosive air wave submerged the rats, and another eight stormrats were burned to ashes by the fireball. melt.

"Enemy attack! Sneak attack by humans and humans!" The remaining Stormrats reacted, and they screamed: "No, no! Ring the bell, ring the bell!"

"Ring the bell!" The remaining five Stormrats rushed towards the big clock on the other side of the square.

"Shoot! Shoot! Don't let these rats ring the bell!" In desperation, Veronica shouted loudly: "Shoot, soldiers!"

"Yes!" The Mackenson Musketeers fired at the same time, and the white musket barrage instantly drowned the five storm rats.

The first Stormrat was shot in the head, and its head exploded. It dully reached out and touched its own head, but found that its head was gone.

The second Stormrat was shot continuously in the chest and fell dead on the spot.

The third and fourth Stormrat were swallowed by the musket barrage, and its body automatically disintegrated in the air, turning into several broken pieces.

But the fifth stormrat deftly hid behind its companions, avoiding the salvo of muskets, it screamed loudly, and rushed towards the big bell: "Yesyes! Ring, ring the bell! Big, big horn!" Rats will punish you little, little humans!"

"There's one left! Aim at it!" Empire Captain Huber shouted at the musketeers. Most of the musketeers had finished firing the bullets in their barrels. It gradually approached the big clock.

Five meters, four meters, three meters.

Now, even Su Liya showed an anxious expression on her face.

"Bang!" Abel fired, the witcher pulled the trigger, and the firecracker in his hand spit out bullets.

"Crack!" Stormrat was shot in his right leg, staggered and fell to the ground, and then a musket bullet hit its back, piercing its armor, and it fell two meters away from the big clock.

Did it work? Almost all the survivors have their hearts in their throats!

"For, for the Horned Rat!" The Storm Rat was seriously injured, and it relied on its last will to survive. The scarlet eyes rolled around, and it suddenly grabbed its own halberd forcefully, and threw it towards the big clock!

"Boom" the long halberd hit the big clock, and the bell rang!

The bell on the "Dong Dong Dong" square rang in less than three seconds, and the entire Hemgard, which was burning with billowing smoke, spread around the square, and many places in the city rang bells one after another!

"Yesyes..." Stormrat heard the bell, stretched his legs, and died on the spot.

Oops! Everyone's face suddenly turned white.

The sound of countless footsteps and the squeaking of rat people began to come from all directions!

"Ready to fight! Prepare to fight!" The empire captain Huber shouted, he clenched the sharp sword in his hand: "Soldiers! Get ready for the rat wave!"

As soon as the voice fell, the ground was trembling. The wall of a house was directly destroyed by a huge monster. In the collapsed wall, a monster with a height of more than four meters appeared in front of everyone. Except for a huge mouse head, its body Composed of distorted limbs of other creatures, with seams all over the skin, this giant beast directly grabbed two civilians, tore them into pieces, and devoured the delicious human flesh!

"It's a rat troll!" Veronica yelled, "Musketeer! Shoot!"

The mouse troll took a few bullets, but it didn't feel any pain at all. On the contrary, this monster smashed the defense line that humans worked so hard to build with a dragon car collision, and two soldiers were slapped flying into the house wall and smashed to pieces , refugees and militiamen fled in despair.

"The end is coming!" "We are finished!"

"Charlemagne, please save us!"

At the same time, a tsunami-like wave of rats was approaching, and the waves formed by thousands of Skaven had already surrounded these survivors!

The survivors are desperate!
