Riots outside the town interrupted the trial that was about to begin. The soldier who came to report the news was wearing bear hunter armor, which was enough to make Lothar stop what he was doing to pay attention to the news he had brought.

"What monsters? are those rats?" asked the Count of Montenegro as he took two quick steps and grabbed the soldier's shoulders to prevent him from falling due to inertia.

As a soldier under Lothar's command, every bear hunter can be called a battle-hardened man. The Earl of Montenegro chased almost every battle in the kingdom, and his soldiers could be said to be the most elite troops in the entire Greylion Kingdom in terms of combat quality. The only thing that makes the great nobles and royal families tolerate their existence is that there are not many of these bear hunters, and since everyone knows that although it is easy to follow this earl, it is probably faster to die on the battlefield, so the recruitment of bear hunters has always been a problem. But the stability of the army also allowed each of Lothar's warriors to cooperate with each other, which was enough to be a nightmare for any enemy, but now, this battle-hardened bear hunter was so frightened that it was hard to imagine what kind of shock he had experienced.

"Rats! a lot! everywhere! The outskirts of the town are lost!" replied the soldier hastily, his eyes wide open and the look of overstart.

It's not like the bear hunters haven't seen the native nezumi before, in fact, there have been several outbreaks of mutation in the refugee camp since they were stationed in Turbidity Town, and there are indeed some nezumi who have taken advantage of the darkness to attack the town. However, whether it is an emergency in the quarantine area or an occasional night attack, the number of those native rat people is not large, and they do not dare to appear in the sun, and they are often discovered and killed by the vigilant soldiers before they get close, so in the eyes of these soldiers stationed in Turbidity Stream Town, these monsters that resemble rats actually have nothing to fear. And the warning to the nezumi brought back by the Hammer Knights is also a tragedy that will only happen under the premise that they do not have a large-scale cover, and from their oral accounts, it can only be concluded that the nezumi will be a great threat to small forces at night, as for whether they have the ability to storm a complete town like Turbidity Town, no one is optimistic about those deformed monsters.

What's more, the photophobia of the nezumi is well known to everyone. The trial began at noon, and the northern sun was not yet hot, but the cloudless weather was enough to warm the sunlit. How could the sun-drenched nezumi have the ability to attack Turbidity at such a time when the light was so strong? This phenomenon, contrary to the information gathered before, shocked the Count of Montenegro and Gregory, and Cheese and the others, who knew more about the nezumen, were simply surprised by the attack of the nezumi at this time, which was almost completely contrary to the habits of the nezumi they knew. Moreover, even if a large number of proto-nezumi attacked Turbulence from the Earldom defense, the defense line composed of Kingdom Knights and Bear Hunters would not be so easy to breach, and in the face of the large number of human professional troops and well-built fortifications, it was impossible for those who lacked command to break down the human defense line in a short period of time.

Apparently Lothar had thought of this, as a mature military leader, even if he had only experienced a few encounters, he had a relatively clear understanding of the combat power of the proto-nezumi, and in his opinion, the defense line he had organized was fully capable of keeping those ugly mutated creatures out, and he couldn't understand why this soldier seemed so embarrassed.

"What the hell is going on? What happened to the rats? Why did the defenses outside the town fail?"

In response to the question from the leader of his unit, the soldier took a few large breaths, trying to calm his spirits, and then he said in a calmer tone.

"Those rats suddenly came out of the ground, from the rear of the fortifications, and from under the nearby houses! There were so many of them that the troops were split before they could converge! My lord, please quickly gather the troops in the town, those rats are already coming towards the town!"

Let go of the hand holding the other's shoulder, and let the distrained soldier collapse to the ground. The Count of Montenegro was already aware of the situation he was facing, but the sudden predicament did not make Lothar angry. Although his own defense line was broken by the opponent by unexpected means, such an unpredictable opponent made the Count of Montenegro ignite enough fighting spirit.

"Pass my orders, get the rest of the town's troops together, and we're going to teach those rats a lesson!"

After issuing orders to the guards around him, Lothar shook off the red cloak behind him and walked back to Cheese and the others, he looked at Leon condescendingly, and said.

"I ask you, do you dare to swear in the name of a knight that you remain loyal to the kingdom?"

"I swear in the name of a knight that I, Lyon, will be loyal to the kingdom to the death. From the past, until eternal sleep forced me to stop. The Blood Lion replied in a deep voice.

"Well, then you are still the Knight Captain of the Kingdom Knights. Perhaps having faith in Leon, the Count of Montenegro nodded and took out his knife and cut the rope that bound the chief knight, and then he threw the knife to the chief knight, and motioned for him to untie the cheese himself.

"Remember your words, I'm going to lead my troops into a fight with those rats, and I don't have any extra men to watch over you at such times. ”

As he spoke, Lothar beckoned the entire group of soldiers gathered around the square to go to the battle zone outside the town. And when Gregory wanted to protest against what he had done, the battle-hardened count looked back at him and said.

"The mission of the Knights of the Kingdom is to assist me in garrisoning the northern border of the county, and now that Leon is guilty, as the current leader of the Knights, why don't you hurry up and follow me to defend against the enemy?" he said, taking the golden two-handed heavy axe from the hands of the guards beside him, judging from his tone, if Gregory dared to say the opposite, he would not mind using the other party's blood to lubricate the blade first.

In the face of such a substantial threat from the other party, even if he was unwilling, Gregory could only temporarily let Leon go and beckon the knights of the Order to follow the team of the Count of Montenegro. It's just that when he passed by Leon, the resentment in his eyes was like substance. Soon, the square that was originally full of soldiers was left with only the three of them. From the prisoner who was tried to the current one who was thrown here and no one cared about it, the situation changed so quickly that the three of them were a little confused for a while.

"I didn't expect that Count Montenegro to be a good man. After a while, the proprietress said first.

"There's no time to comment on the good or bad of Lothar right now, our priority is to hurry to the quarantine and see how the others are doing. Leon said. Then he looked at Cheese, hoping for the mage's attitude.

"Although I care about why those rat people are attacking at this time...... But I guess we'll go back first...... No, you go back to quarantine and get out of here with the rest of the people. Cheese said.

"What about you?" Elsa asked.

"Now that the town's soldiers are being sent to fight the nezumi, I'll go find Heather and the Hammer men and get them out and we'll know more. The mage replied.

"Then I'll go with you. Leon alone was enough to take them away. The proprietress said as a matter of course.

"No, if you don't go back to Mona, they won't necessarily trust Lyon. You have to convince them to follow the knights and leave. I'll join you when I find Heather. Cheese refused. However, there was another reason why the mage didn't mention it, since he was lit a fire at the apothecary's station, he always felt that there might be some other existence in this town besides these forces on the surface. On the one hand, they can take the opportunity to fish and make the other party think that the mage is lonely, so that they can take advantage of it. On the other hand...... In such a strange atmosphere, Cheese felt that he might still be forced to use his previous abilities, so that he would naturally have as few people around him as possible, so as not to accidentally injure others like in the fire.

Although Elsa was not satisfied with the mage's arrangement, Leon apparently noticed that Cheese might have some plans of his own. He stopped the hostess's protests and semi-forcibly persuaded Elsa to accept the mage's offer. Then, after saying good luck to the cheese, he took the proprietress to the quarantine area first. After the figures of the two disappeared into the shadow of the building, Cheese also began to do his own thing, he still had the map of Turbidity Town he had drawn earlier, so it was still possible to find the small two-story building that was suspected of imprisoning Heather.

With this anomalous nezumi attack, the mage vaguely felt that he had been targeted by something since he came to Turbidity Town. But the other party hid it so well that until now Cheese had only kept this feeling a guess. It's just that more and more situations now make the mage feel that the originally warm sunlight is not enough to illuminate those dark corners at this time.
