Chapter 255, Embarrassed Humans
The rats began to attack the city wall. The rats in other directions had already begun to attack the city wall. The surge of rats was not limited to this direction. Under the command of the manic commander, the siege that had just ended was opened again by the rats.
In addition to the main gate of the city where the fortress was raised, the city defenders still opened a road leading to the simple fortress.
The fortress erected in front of the city gate was just an attempt, but it attracted an extremely fierce response from the rats.
Obviously, in this case, it has reached the node of choice, whether to continue to pile up this simple fortress or to stop the loss in time.
In the fierce response of the rats, a decision must be made quickly.
This is a problem for the stargazing pope.
He has been observing the situation on the field.
The city defenders holding up their shields struggled to block the waves of rat warriors that arrived, and the accompanying mages on the fortress relaxed their suppression of the rats.
The lucky guy was pulled into the surging tide of rats in front of him and suddenly lost his voice.
The earth was once again changed by the mottled magic aura, and a low earth mound was raised, and with it, there was also an equally low wall. The ratmen warriors who had surrounded the city guards seemed a little helpless in the face of such changes.
Fortunately, this spell did not focus on lethality. The slowly changing earth could be easily avoided as long as they paid a little attention. However, not long after escaping, they were pushed over by the ratmen behind them again, and faced such a low wall. Obviously, they did not want to climb these walls.
These military mages were really a big trouble, and so were these walls. Ordinary ratmen warriors suffered a lot on these walls.
They climbed up with great effort, but fortunately, these city guards were not very familiar with the methods of military mages. They were somewhat panicked in the face of this situation, giving the ratmen warriors who climbed up with difficulty a chance.
The two sides fought on the earth wall, and then hurriedly fled in the boulders thrown by the huge catapult.
The Great Claw priests began to calibrate the trajectory. This time, they were no longer friendly killers. Perhaps it was related to the fact that the accompanying mages were focused on guiding the earth and neglected to guard against the boulders.
The whistling boulders were like meteors falling to the ground, bombarding everything in this area indiscriminately, including the simple fortress and the earth slope rising in front of the city wall. There were no swollen ratmen attached. It was not long since the last siege ended, and the swollen ratmen had not had time to complete the cultivation.
There was no shortage of ratmen in the Eastern Expeditionary Force, but after all, the cultivation of swollen ratmen was inseparable from blood mushrooms. Even if the most inferior blood mushrooms were used, they could be cultivated, but this was also using blood mushrooms.
Every time a swollen ratman was thrown out, it was equivalent to throwing a handful of inferior blood mushrooms onto the battlefield.
The swollen ratmen would not be supplied openly, which made the effect of this round of attack much worse, but the thrown boulders alone also carried great power. This was the purest attack.
Throwing stones, throwing huge stones.
The falling boulder easily destroyed the low wall of the mound. Faced with such a situation, the human defenders and the ratmen were both fleeing in a panic.
A boulder that was surprisingly accurate or ridiculously biased fell squarely on the top of the simple fortress. At this time, there were a large number of mages with the army gathered. This boulder really hit the jackpot. A large number of mages were beaten into meat paste without reacting in time. The situation was extremely tragic.
This time, the test began to change with this as the node. The human army that came out of the Wave City began to gradually fall behind.
The battle between the Vatican Knights and the Fierce Knights has not yet been decided. The defenders in the simple fortress gradually fell behind, and the passage between the simple fortress and the Wave City was collapsing.
The falling boulders broke through the raised low walls and also broke the formation of the human defenders gathered here. Although the ratmen were the same, in this dark tide, the formation of the ratmen warriors has always been out of formation.
The situation was rapidly sliding into chaos, and there was even a risk of ratmen pouring into the city. This attempt failed. Even if the Pope of Stargazing wanted to persist, it was impossible to persist in this situation. He began to recall the troops outside the city. The army sent this time was not worth mentioning for the size of the entire Surging City. Even if the whole army was annihilated, it was far from a serious injury to this huge city.
There was just one problem.
Even the Pope of Stargazing, who now dominated the situation in Surging City, could not mobilize the forces gathered in Surging City together. He could not do it, and he could not do it. Surging City was not only the stationed army, but also the nobles' houses, shops, workshops, magic academies, and a large number of residents.
These all needed power to protect.
The outside of the city was in complete chaos. After the order to withdraw was given, the soldiers in the simple fortress no longer insisted and began to retreat in a panic. At first, the retreat was somewhat orderly, but the rats were too stubborn.
The rats noticed that these heretics wanted to retreat, which was seen as a manifestation of weakness by the rats, making them more agitated and dangerous.
The rat warriors who gradually became excited began to become radical, and the two sides entangled.
The order was broken, and the retreat process began to become chaotic.
From order to chaos, and finally to fear, these human soldiers began to throw away their weapons and run back desperately, and the battle line officially began to collapse.
They still carried the mottled magic aura on their bodies, and various enhancement magics were still effective on them, but in such a situation, these magics obviously could no longer give them courage.
The magic knights mixed in the team responded to this situation and began to shout loudly, but when the collapse began to spread from a single soldier to the entire team, it was already difficult to save.
The magic knights who were submerged by the dark tide had to face the surging gray-black tide alone, waving their swords vigorously, and easily cut off the ratmen one by one, but nothing could be changed.
There were fewer and fewer soldiers around, and more and more ratmen around. These guys who were easily killed no longer brought fear to the ratmen. On the contrary, the diffuse smell of blood was making these guys more and more excited and more and more manic.
Cowardly guys will not make people feel scared.
Excitement, desire, eagerness, all of these were clearly shown on the faces of the ratmen who gathered here.
The anger on the faces of the magic knights began to fade, and in such a peeping, the unexplained fear began to rise in their hearts.
Facts have proved that in such a situation, in this black tide, they who have lost their army will not be particularly different from those cowardly guards.
In a very short time, the soldiers on the human side began to die in large numbers, and even the magic knights were no exception. The casualties in this very short time far exceeded the total number of soldiers lost in the battle just now, in a short time.
The heavy city gate began to slowly close in the dull sound of gears turning, leaving only a small gap. The knights of the Church no longer entangled with the violent knights. In the purple light, they began to retreat and detach. A dying violent knight made a sharp and twisted hissing and threw the spear in his hand towards the knight leading the knights of the Church.
The ferocious knights proved their ferocity. Despite the gap in all aspects, they fought with the Vatican knights in front of them with an almost resolute attitude and did not lose.
But they could not stop the Vatican knights who wanted to leave.
In the gathering purple light, the Vatican knights were about to leave the battle and began to turn back. At this time, a spear crossed the sky.
Perhaps because of the gathering purple light, or perhaps because he became tired in the battle, the leading knight did not notice the spear that crossed the sky.
The spear deviated a little and did not hit the leading Vatican knight. In fact, even if it hit, it would hardly cause any particularly big damage. It would probably be slipped away by the armor with engraved patterns. However, this spear carried the last hope of a dying and stunned guy.
Unwilling to give up, looking at the deviated spear, he did not even have the strength to roar again. The black armor on his chest was hit and dented, and blood was constantly overflowing from his mouth.
The forging technology of the ratmen is indeed not outdated. Even in the face of this decadent empire that has embraced civilization for who knows how many years, the armor of the fierce knights is still so hard.
Such a pursuit was achieved in a very short time. Pushing forward, not many years later, the ratmen who built a twisted and morbid huge empire were still a group of guys who were chased by lizardmen and ran away with their heads in their hands.
However, it was still too simple.
The power of magic brought a huge increase to the knights of the church. In that powerful force, the long sword swung casually was also unbearable. The heavy armor was hit hard and dented.
The fierce knight fell to the ground with a hideous face.
The knights of the church began to move away, running wildly in this endless gray-black tide.
The ratmen along the way were trampled without hesitation. The chaotic situation in front of the city gate was reversed after these knights arrived. The crazy surging ratmen warriors began to flee in panic. Those magic knights breathed a sigh of relief, but they were unwilling to accept the kindness of these knights of the church.
But they wanted to hold their heads high to these guys like before, but now the embarrassing situation did not allow them to do so, and they were at a loss.
The human army in front of the city gate all breathed a sigh of relief, as this group of Vatican knights was their last dignity.
The angry Rat Warriors began to wave their flags, and the Rat Supervisory Team began to advance, but there were too many rats gathered here. Even though the Rat Supervisory Team had begun to press forward, they could not immediately transmit their power to the rat warriors gathered in front of the city gate.
The human side retreated back to the city in a mess.
