Chapter 388, Bloody Battle on Franz Square
"Boom!" The rat troll rushed past, disrupting the human line, and the already demoralized soldiers fled in all directions.
Thousands of rats rushed through the streets, over houses, and over fences. These hungry and greedy slave rats couldn't wait to enjoy a feast of flesh and blood.
Slave rats are the most humble class in the entire ratman society. These ratmen with an average height of 1.2 meters are the lowest class and the largest group in the entire Skaven ratman society. The life of slave rats is very cruel, but fortunately it is also very short . The food supply in ratman society is so scarce that ratmen eating ratmen is a normal way of life. Every ratman's life is a fierce struggle for survival. Once a slave rat shows a little weakness or wound, wait Its goal is to be swarmed up by other slave rats and devoured into slag.
If a slave rat can barely survive countless battles and slaughters, it may be promoted to a clan rat, which is somewhat similar to the serfs in Brittany, but most slave rats usually end up being slaughtered do.
"Kill! Kill, kill!" The swarm of rats is attacking the fragile humans. The refugees who barely hold some weapons in their hands are retreating steadily. There are too many ratmen. Many refugees just killed a mouse. The next second It is necessary to face the attacking three-headed ratmen at the same time, kill and kill the three-headed ratmen, and there are countless ratmen close behind.
It can't be killed at all!
As the fighting progressed, the morale of the refugees and militiamen was on the verge of collapse, and many tried to escape, only to be overwhelmed by the rat tide.
However, there are also people who broke out with great courage in such a desperate situation.
"Kill! Kill all the rats!" A middle-aged man held up an old spear, and he pierced the belly of a clan rat. The honest yeoman burns with terrible rage.
The home is gone, the relatives are gone, and the property is gone!
"Damn rats! I'm not done with you!!!" Many refugees had similar thoughts, filled with endless grief and anger. Not only did these people not have the slightest idea of giving up, but they all wanted to kill one to save money and kill two. Earn a madness, and fought endlessly with the Ratmen.
"Fight!" The captain of the empire swept across with a halberd in his hand, a large group of ratmen fell in front of him, and the demon hunters even attacked with rapiers. They never gave up!
"Fireball!" In the middle of the battlefield, in a hurry, Veronica raised her staff to cast a spell, and the magic power of Yundini's staff gathered, forming a fireball the size of a washbasin again. Veronica's sweet almond eyes were filled with It was madness, Witch Jialan raised her hand, and the scorching flame thread was tumbling in the air: "Go!"
The huge fireball technique dragged out a long trail, and went straight to the rat troll who was raging in the crowd!
Veronica panted lightly, casting spells continuously caused her mana reserves to drop greatly, and Witch Garland set her sights on the rat troll.
The rat troll naturally found the fireball rushing towards it. This huge monster was too bulky to dodge, so it made a decision immediately, that is the hard fireball technique!
Created using the evil technology of the Ratmen, the monster raised its hands and forcibly resisted the fireball.
"Boom!" The entire fireball technique hit the rat troll head-on, and the heat wave engulfed the monster and the rat people nearby.
"Did it work?" Veronica narrowed her eyes, and Witch Garland was about to release her next spell.
"Ho Ho!!!" In the air wave of the explosion, the roar of the rat troll came out, and this terrifying monster pushed Veronica's fireball head-on! It proudly stood up with both feet, and there was a shallow wound on its scorched right arm, which was still burning, but this did not affect its activities. The monster roared and directly directed at Veronie Card rush!
Veronica then wanted to sing the fire shield to resist the attack of the rat troll, but the rat troll didn't give her a chance. It moved quickly on all fours and slapped the two halberdiers flying in the middle of the road. ,in a blink,
The rat troll had already rushed in front of Veronica, and slapped it directly with a huge slap.
"Fire shield!" Witch Jialan immediately tore open the scroll, forming a flame shield in front of her.
The rat troll ignored the shield. Instead, it stepped on the ground with both feet and passed directly over the shield.
Rat trolls are not stupid.
"Damn it!" Veronica was halfway through casting the spell, and the witch was forced to stop casting the spell. She just turned around when the rat troll slapped her face: "Bang!"
Veronica was slapped and flew out by the monster, hit a wall hard, and fell to the ground.
"Hmm..." Veronica's fiery red leather jacket was damaged, and the witch spat out a mouthful of blood. The feeling of ruptured internal organs tore her nerves, and her whole body was in pain as if shifting. She suspected that her ribs were broken.
The pearl jewelry on her body was glowing, and the warm power was protecting Veronica's body. The witch knew that it was a gift from Ryan's biological father, and she barely got up relying on the power conveyed by the jewelry.
The ground is shaking, and the rat troll is coming again!
This monster rushed in front of Veronica, raised its foot, and was about to crush her head.
Veronica also took out her long sword, ready to fight the rat troll!
"For the lady!" At this moment, a shout came from behind the rat troll.
A flaming sharp sword pierced the rat troll's chest from behind. The monster covered his chest in pain, and the sword was pulled out from its back. A huge wound with bone deep visible.
The rat troll backed away with a mournful cry, the blade pierced deeply into its back, and the sacred power contained within was melting its existence and life in a way that the rat troll couldn't understand. The second sword caused heavy damage to the mouse troll, which forced the monster to give up its prey and turn around to deal with new enemies.
This is a female knight wearing finely crafted vibrating gold plate armor. Her long golden curly hair and heroic figure are simply an anomaly on the dirty battlefield.
"Accept the trial! Skaven scum!" Surya cut all the rat men who wanted to besiege into two with a sword without looking back. At this time, the female knight no longer had the usual warm smile on her face. And nobleness, replaced by terrible coldness, and the wrath from the lake god.
Blessed by the fairies in the lake, the blade curled up and blocked the mouse troll's pounce, and Surya's exquisite swordsmanship streaked across a cloud of dazzling light and shadow.
In the moment of face-to-face confrontation, blood spattered, and the rat troll forcefully slapped away Surya's sword that stabbed at its heart, but the price was that the head was brutally attacked by the female knight's sword, and Suria picked out the sword. In one eye of the rat troll, the rat troll kept backing away while covering the bleeding left eye. Half of its face was destroyed, leaving a deep gash on it.
"Die! Accept the judgment under the brilliance of the lady!" Surya stepped forward, and the light steps of the female knight were like the ballet steps of a beautiful female dancer, but the whole process was forged by blood, and she killed several heads in a row. The Clan Rat rushed up, and then rushed to the rat troll, grasping the hilt of the sword with both hands, and slashed down angrily.
"Wow!" The mouse troll swung its left arm in reverse, and it planned to attack Surya's head directly!
"clang"
After the female knight finished her slash, she made a gesture of withdrawing her sword, silently meditating on the sword skills her father taught her, and drew out her sword again after gathering enough strength.
At the first flash of blood, the sword of Leonasai almost cut off the rat troll's left arm. The rat troll immediately realized that its left arm was useless. When it was still trying to raise its right arm to fight back, Surya's The sword had pierced through its right leg.
The sacred golden glow on the female knight was so powerful that the rat troll didn't even dare to look directly at her figure. After the right leg was injured, the giant beast collapsed to the ground. It opened its mouth and let out a "squeak" squeak" sound.
Suria didn't have time to pay attention to what it wanted to say. The female knight stood firm, reciting the hymn of the fairy of the lake, and raised the blade high, and the head of this huge monster fell to the ground.
The body of the headless rat troll collapsed, attracting the attention of the rat swarm, at least the commander of the rat swarm. This is a plague priest holding a plague censer. Coupled with its supporting strange spells, the disease spreads wildly. To make matters worse, its visibly overflowing evil power allows it to breathe and corrupt everything it touches.
"Yesyes! Golden Retriever! Killkill!" It pointed at Surya's figure, and under its command, several low-level plague monks rushed directly towards Suria.
The female knight wasn't flustered at all. Leonase's sword was swung up and down, and several plague monks were directly cut open without even a drop of blood on her body.
Although the loss of a few powerful men, but the purpose of the plague priest has been achieved, it directly released its spell towards Suria.
Plague breath!
The poisonous mist containing thick poison directly attacked Suria who was protecting Veronica, covering Suria's body in the blink of an eye.
"Kill! Kill!" The plague priest was covered in festers and sores all over his body. Taking this opportunity, he waved the plague censer and approached Suria.
However, the poisonous mist did not affect Suria's movements at all. On the contrary, under the attack of the poisonous mist, something seemed to activate from the armor on the female knight.
The golden light containing supreme power illuminates Suria's whole body, instantly dispelling the poisonous mist, and the golden scriptures stuck to the armor shine brightly as if they were alive. The plague priest has just been illuminated by this golden light When he arrived, his body exuded a burning smell.
This terrible change made the plague priest unable to understand, but it had no time to understand. Under the golden light, the Skaven devil mouse evaporated on the spot, turning into a wisp of green smoke and ascending to the sky, leaving no ash .
This situation frightened the surrounding rats enough. The morale of the group of rats was shaken almost at the same time. The Stormrat and the Clan Rats commanded the slave rats into the battlefield angrily, but they started to run away thought.
"Light of exile!" Three waves of pure light swept across the battlefield. Under the densely packed positions of the ratmen, at least six hundred ratmen were directly sucked into the magic vortex by the power of the light wind, turning into Ashes, Veronica gritted her teeth and barely stood up. Witch Garland was fully controlling her magic, and the feeling of emptiness in her body made her feel painful.
The witch understood that this was not the time to worry about the loss of magic power, so she tried her best to control the spell. Veronica alone controlled three magic vortexes, covering the ratmen coming from three directions respectively!
A large group of slaverats, clanrats, and a small number of stormrats were sucked into the Exiled Light, burning into a mass of residue, and the magic vortex was constantly moving, rushing towards the direction of the ratman attack.
The morale of the Ratmen finally collapsed, and these rats rushed to flee again. The collapse of one corner led to the collapse of the whole army. Amidst the yelling, the Rat Tide left countless corpses and fled back to the original place.
Veronica was relieved after seeing the rout of the Rat Surge, and a strong dizziness almost caused her to fall over.
"Veronica? Are you okay?" After a bitter battle, there were only more than 150 survivors left, and the size of the team was almost reduced by half. Most of the rest were soldiers and militiamen, refugees There were heavy casualties. Seeing Veronica fell down, Suria quickly helped her up.
"Hurry up, retreat quickly, the rat tide has receded, and it won't come for a while, we must take advantage of this opportunity to retreat to the church as soon as possible." Veronica's face was as white as paper, and a bright red dripped from the corner of her mouth: "Hurry up."
"Okay!" Surya nodded vigorously. She supported Veronica and shouted at everyone: "Quick retreat! Let's retreat to the city wall!"
"The sound on the city wall has stopped, I hope we are the ones who win!" The empire captain Huber had several new wounds on his body, and he knew that he was lucky to be alive.
"I hope so." Demon hunter Abel was not injured too much, but was stabbed in the shoulder, which is not a problem for a demon hunter who has been licking blood all year round.
Weary survivors ascended the stairs at the back of the plaza, where they housed more survivors, calling for people to take refuge en masse at the Church of Justice.
Three hours later, the gates of Hemgard were within sight.
The survivors came to the gate of the city, and the city wall with a height of more than 20 meters was silent. Veronica and Suria glanced at each other, signaling the soldiers to pick up their weapons and prepare to fight.
The survivors were preparing to continue fighting, and a bunch of things were thrown on the city wall.
Surya took a few steps back subconsciously.
Several bags, full of skaven heads! Many of the heads were also covered in icy debris.
The city gate opened slowly, and Rick Guard Rudolph and Rick Guard Wagner came out of the city gate holding swords and shields. Behind them were a dozen great swordsmen and knights, and dozens of defenders. Almost everyone was covered in blood. Seeing Suria and Veronica, Rudolph breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Hurry up, we repelled the Ratmen's attack, but these beasts won't wait too long , they will come back soon!"
"The defensive facilities of the city wall have been severely damaged. We won't be able to defend the city wall if the Ratmen come again."
"Quick! Withdraw to the Church of Justice! We must build a new line of defense before the rat swarm comes again!"
"Fire a signal flare into the sky to let Lord Ryan know that we have successfully retreated to the city wall." Suria said to Wagner.
"Yes!" Wagner, who was born as a master engineer, immediately signaled to launch a signal flare.
…………
Hermgart, at the marketplace.
"Boom" watching the signal flare rising into the sky, Ryan, who was standing on a pile of stormrat corpses, tore a plague priest in half with his bare hands. He nodded: "Very well, it seems that Suria and the others have successfully retreated to on the wall."
The chosen champion of the fairy of the lake pulled the hammer head of Thor's hammer from the head of a dead rat troll, and smiled cruelly.
"!"
