Chapter 254, Blue Eyes
But will things really be that easy?
The galloping Vatican knights cut through the dark tide of ratmen, and the accompanying mages climbed to the top of the fortress. The earth began to change again under the manipulation of magic.
The fortress was gradually rising, and the ratmen's offensive was forced to slow down. The Vatican knights' charge did not stop. The brilliant purple light appeared on the leading knight and spread on all the Vatican knights, as if tying these galloping knights together and gathering the power of all the knights into a whole.
It was like a hot knife cutting through butter, briefly cutting through the dark tide of ratmen in front of them.
It was indeed an elite team.
The flag of the Rat War appeared on the battlefield. This guy was really impatient, and a team covered with black armor also appeared with the flag of the Rat War.
The silent and ferocious knight began to step onto the battlefield.
The Vatican knights' charge continued, but when facing the endless ratmen in front of them, the charge posture began to slow down.
Trampling the ratmen that blocked the road, but the ratmen in front of them were still endless.
Pause, the charge gradually slowed down until it completely stopped. In this endless tide of ratmen, the leading knight looked back at his surroundings, and all he saw was gray and black. Countless ratmen warriors poured in from the darkness, filling up the area that was briefly illuminated by the illumination.
The ratmen warriors bared their teeth and claws, waving their spears in their hands. When facing the Vatican knights who looked difficult to mess with at first glance, the bluff on their faces was clearly visible, but in sharp contrast to this bluff born of fear was the greed in their eyes.
The waving blades could easily kill these weak guys. Retracting his sight from the dark tide, the leading knight set his sights on another pair of opponents that were obviously more dangerous not far away.
The ferocious knights were coming soon.
The silent running brought a different momentum, very intuitively powerful, more dangerous than the weak guys around him who were screaming.
The leading knight raised the long sword with stars in his hand, and the purple light began to gather again.
The knights of the Church prepared themselves, ignoring the rat warriors rushing around them. The long sword fell, and the stagnant charge was restarted, towards the fierce knights running not far away.
The two sides collided with each other, and in the harsh sound, it was the fierce knights who fell behind, and one by one the fierce knights were knocked out.
Compared with these knights who were wrapped in gorgeous magic light, the fierce knights were too simple.
But they were not afraid.
Soon there was a sharp hissing on the field, which was the fierce knight's death hissing, sharp, harsh, and angry.
From a ferocious knight pierced by a long sword, these Vatican knights do have more exquisite skills, and they can even accurately find the weak points of the ferocious knight's armor in fierce battles.
The blessing of purple light gave them more powerful strength and speed, but the Vatican knight who swung this sword obviously did not expect that the enemy in front of him would be so fearless.
The ferocious knight who was pierced by the body held the long sword on his body tightly, and with a sharp and piercing hissing, he wanted to pull the Vatican knight in front of him to fall to the ground together.
Subconsciously letting go of his hand, the ferocious knight in front of him fell to the ground with his long sword, unwilling to do so, and the guy on the opposite side was unwilling to do so. Even on the way down, he still stretched out his arms, wanting to pull, wanting to hold himself tightly.
After a short daze, until he was awakened by the harsh friction sound caused by the collision of weapons, the Vatican knight drew out his spare long sword. In front of him, the silent ferocious knights followed one after another, and were more solemn about the enemy in front of them.
The ferocious knight and the Vatican knight were entangled together.
At the same time, the endless tide of ratmen did not stop surging. They passed the knights of both sides who were entangled and fighting cruelly, connected with the team cut by the knights of the Church, and rushed towards the rising fortress again.
In the crazy charge, the group of military mages had to focus on attacking the surging ratmen again, and the rise of the simple fortress stopped.
The climbing ratmen fell from the outer wall of the fortress one by one, but more ratmen immediately filled up again. When such a scene did not act on the tall city wall, but fell on this simple fortress, the madness was directly reflected.
The gray-black ratmen piled up and intertwined with each other, and occupied every inch of space in sight.
The guards on the city wall had a little more fear in their eyes. Facing this crazy scene, they came back to their senses until the magic knights stationed on the city wall began to shout loudly.
The magic knights were not unfamiliar with this scene, and they also had complicated emotions, but they were not like the ordinary guards who were unable to extricate themselves from this situation, and hatred was brewing in their eyes.
When the rats flooded their castles and manors and drove them away from their territory, such a scene also appeared. If there was anyone in the city who absolutely supported the war against the rats and the external attack, it must be these magic knights.
There was no other. Their territory, their castles and villages were all abandoned in the darkness at this time, invaded and taken away by these ugly and hateful rats.
The heavy city gate was opened again, and another team stepped out of the city. The city guards holding large shields struggled to resist the attack of the ratmen, and the magic knights served as the maintainers of the front.
It would not be an easy thing to prepare to step out of the city and struggle in the dark tide without the city walls, but unfortunately, when the war came, they had no choice at all.
Many city guards threw away their weapons and wanted to escape in a terrified shout the moment they stepped out of the city gate, but before they could really escape a few steps, the heavy sword would fall without mercy.
The cowards were beheaded in front of the city gate, and their cold eyes fell on each city guard in front of them.
No one wanted to attack more than these knights who lost their territory.
The once popular cakes instantly became death warrants. If possible, at this time, many city guards wanted to give up their positions.
But unfortunately, it is not up to them. How can an ordinary, undisciplined, unqualified soldier become a qualified weapon? One cruel war or two cruel wars, this applies equally to both ratmen and humans.
Those who survive are qualified, and those who survive are qualified warriors.
Under the sharp eyes of the magic knight, the city guards gritted their teeth and set up large shields and began to advance outside the city. The ratmen arrived, because more power was invested in the particularly conspicuous fortress, so there were not many ratmen attacking this team at the beginning.
The sparse ratmen, even if they wandered to this area, were obviously not a big problem.
Until a dazzling light came on, one city guard, one city guard opened his eyes, and the flames in the bright and dazzling light began to gather, igniting the ratman warriors rushing towards him.
Innately, the ratmen warriors are indeed lacking a lot of the ghost-eyed people, but this does not mean that they do not yearn for magic, especially the eye that contains magic.
When they first invaded this area, the vertical pupils on the foreheads of all the ghost-eyed people were the same price, but this was obviously not reasonable. The vertical pupils on the foreheads of those ghost-eyed people who opened their eyes and began to awaken their bloodline were obviously more precious. After all, the evil wizards among the ghost-eyed people have always been in the habit of using these eyes as materials.
This was soon discovered by the rat priests. After embedding an eye on the wooden stick in their hands, the process of mobilizing elements was much smoother.
The rat priests were ecstatic about this discovery and wanted to repeat the operation of wolf orc fur on the grassland, bypassing Shu Zhan to purchase the special blue eyes produced by the ghost-eyed people.
But Shu Zhan also learned it this time. He greatly increased the merits that could be exchanged for the blue eyes to an extra high level, holding this newly discovered specialty tightly in his hands, and even wanted to kick these rat caravans out.
The lesson he learned from the wolf orc fur last time was still fresh in Shu Zhan's memory.
This time he wanted to eat alone, but it was not so easy. During this period, Shu Zhan was negotiating frantically with the rat caravans and the rat lords behind them.
Shu Zhan had the upper hand. During this period, he had hanged several big claw priests representing the caravans.
The negotiations between the two sides continued fiercely.
However, the tug-of-war between Shu Zhan and the rat caravan had little impact on ordinary rat warriors. They only knew that the blue eyes on the foreheads of those heretics were ridiculously expensive and could really make rats excited.
In the battle in front of the city gate, a lucky man opened his eyes between his eyebrows in the siege of the rats. The fear on his face had not yet dissipated. Until he realized what was happening, he was filled with indescribable joy.
Opening his eyes meant that his fate had changed, but he ignored the situation in front of him.
On this battlefield, or more accurately, in front of this group of rats, showing his treasures, such clear blue eyes, this is not a good thing.
Pairs of eyes fell on this lucky guy. After a brief pause, rustling sounds were heard. Finally, these movements were finally noticed by the lucky guy. Facing those pairs of prying eyes, fine goose bumps climbed up his body unconsciously.
These blue eyes are indeed precious things, and everyone likes them very much.
