Chapter 17: Breaking the Ground
"Two bed crossbows together, shoot!"
In fact, there was no need for Renault to give an order, the Demon Rat King was less than a hundred meters away from the big iron bucket, and his strong limbs ran on the ground to set off large snow chips, and the ground seemed to shake with it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The hands of the people who operated the bed crossbow were already trembling with fear, and as soon as the crossbow bolts were loaded, they couldn't wait to start firing.
The Rat King looked fat, but his body was extremely flexible, and in the face of the two crossbow arrows, he buried his head in the ground, and the crossbow arrows fell against his back in the snow behind it, bringing up snow chips flying all the way.
"Don't panic, don't mess around!" Renault shouted, "Reload immediately, follow my orders and shoot again!"
Renault stood at the head of the wall, calmly looking at the Demon Rat King who was getting closer and closer, without the slightest fear. Most of the walls are filled with miners from his mines, who have witnessed the miracles he has done these days. At this moment, they were infected by his momentum, and they suppressed the fear in their hearts, and the chaotic scene gradually became orderly.
"Aim for the ground a meter in front of it, and get ready to shoot!"
The Demon Rat King couldn't lie on the ground to avoid it this time, and hurriedly twisted his body and rushed sideways, but because his body was too big, he was still shot in the hind leg by a crossbow arrow, tearing off a large piece of flesh and skin. It stopped, glared at Renault with a cold gaze for a long time, and then slowly stepped back.
"It worked!"
Everyone cheered, and the Demon Rat King didn't seem to be so terrifying at the moment!
"Don't let up, reload!"
The Demon Rat King will never give up so easily, this is the nature of the Demon Mouse, and as the king, its grudge mentality is not as weak as that of ordinary Demon Mouse. Countless demon rats pounced on the wall desperately, and they went crazy because of the king's roar, constantly jumping up and hitting the hard wall with their bodies.
Renault handed over command to Baghi, then looked worriedly at the sky, which had completely darkened.
A few invisible black dots are flying from the direction of the mine, they are flying species, and they are finally here!
Badge used a trap designed by Renault to catch five flying species, and now four are still alive, tied under the iron chamber where they live. There are special people with long iron rods, and every once in a while, the flying species will scream and spew flames, making the iron room warm as spring.
Another one had already been burned alive during Renault's experiments.
It is also ironic that the fire-breathing flying species could not withstand the scorching flames, and their wings as thin as cicada wings were instantly burned into ashes by Reynolds's flames, and they struggled and howled on the ground in pain.
But to burn the flying species of the flying species, Renault is not completely sure, he is not familiar enough with the Demon Spirit Flame.
But now there is only one way, more than a hundred miners are already very difficult to deal with the magic rats on the ground, and it is night, and it is an impossible task for them to shoot flying objects in the sky.
He tried to keep the miners as close as possible, and selected a few with good eyesight to help him. In the darkness of the night, the flying species are lined up and rush down together like flying machines in a trick show.
"Watch for secrecy!"
While Renault shouted, he spewed out two bright flames into the sky with all his might, and seven or eight flying species were burned off their wings before they could dodge, and they were pierced through their bodies by crossbow arrows before they could land.
The other flying species didn't reap the benefits, and when they stretched out their claws at the miners crouching on the ground, they suddenly found that they had a sturdy layer of steel on them.
This is the idea that Badge came up with, as long as he crouches against the fence and covers his body with a thin steel plate, he can effectively defend against the attacks of the flying species. When they leave, they can put down the iron plate and shoot.
The Flying Species was almost wiped out in just one attack, and Renault couldn't help but praise Baggy's ingenuity.
The flying species that had suffered a big loss no longer dared to attack easily, but they did not leave, but kept hovering around the big iron bucket to maintain deterrence, and when they were tired, they would stop on the distant hillside to rest for a while.
Renault wasn't too worried about them, he was worried about the Demon Rat King. Since it was hit by an arrow, it has caused its subordinates to launch a suicidal attack, but it has disappeared.
Is this stalling for time or is it a blow to the public?
Unable to find the shadow of the Demon Rat King, Renault could only concentrate on observing everything around him. Half the night went down, and the high tension and non-stop shooting made everyone feel tired.
The corpses of the demon rats were piled up half a meter high under the wall, and the crossbow arrows were about to run out.
No one can sleep peacefully on a night like this. The families of the miners spontaneously organized themselves to bring hot water to their loved ones who fought valiantly on the wall. If there was no food left, they would have served hot sorghum porridge.
Renault looked in the direction of Sequoia from time to time, and he hoped that Lauren would return soon, otherwise even if there were enough crossbow arrows and no food to fill their stomachs, the miners would have to hold out until tomorrow morning at most.
But until the sky turned white in the east, the road to Redwood Town was still calm.
"Lord Renault, go and get some rest!"
With red eyes and a hoarse throat, Bucky had been calling the shots all night, constantly urging everyone to persevere, and he was on the verge of losing his feet.
"No, now is not the time to rest. Renault cheered up, I don't know if it was because of the awakening of the demon spirit, he didn't get too sleepy after staying up all night, "I have a bad premonition, our big friend is already very close to us, but I can't find where he is, which makes me very worried." ”
"My lord, do you mean...... It's burrowing?"
Before Badge could finish speaking, he heard a sudden loud bang on the ground in the middle of the big iron bucket, and a large bag bulged upwards from the steel plate.
Damn, it really dug the hole under the big iron bucket!
"Everybody's on the wall!"
Bang-bang-bang
It's like a giant's fist, constantly hitting the steel ground from the ground, and the one-centimeter steel plate is quickly smashed into all directions.
Crunch――
A tooth-sore voice came, and two teeth sharper than a sword bit through the steel plate, reflecting a chilling glimmer.
"Quick, get the bed crossbow over!"
Bucky shouted in horror, but the base of the bed crossbow was firmly anchored to the platform, and it would take at least twenty people to complete the turn.
It's too late!
The Demon Rat King's sharp teeth tore open a large iron plate, revealing two bright eyes.
Bang bang -
Five gunshots rang out in a row, and the finger-sized steel ball shot in through the narrow gap, and the Demon Rat King calmed down, everyone stretched their necks to look at the ground, and they didn't even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere, and the scene was as quiet as death.
Killed?
Renault's heart was beating violently, and he was drenched in cold sweat.
Whew――
After a moment of silence, the Demon Rat King suddenly let out a loud roar, and the steel plate was as fragile as papier-mâché, and half of his body was violently drilled out of the ground.
One of its eyes had been blown off by a musket, and dark red blood was flowing down, while the rest of its single eye glared at Renault even more fiercely.
The Demon Rat King is not dead, with the flame of revenge, it is coming out!
