He ...... He is Gerald, a miner in Rupert's search team. ”

Trembling and pointing to the man beneath the black hole, Billister heard the majestic and calm voice of the lord.

"Joey, you quickly find a rope long enough, tie one end to the fixed stone pillar, and come back with the other end, I will use the rope to pull people,

Billlister, you quickly organize the rest of the people in this layer of the mine, stack the unsecured wooden beams at the entrance of this mine, bring the torches and oil lamps on the wall, and send someone to notify all the Noxian Black Iron Guard soldiers and Black Rose Mages stationed in the mine to come to support, and then you and a few people wait for my orders at the entrance, ready to light and block the passage at any time. ”

"Yes!"

Billister, who had received the order, didn't say a word, and turned to greet the others.

Joey still looked at Gerald, who was struggling to climb up, and was about to say something, but saw the lord's wife, who was still gentle and quiet just now, picked up her collar and looked at her coldly with gray mist eyes.

"Do as Lord Leicester tells you to do."

With his legs limp, Joey rolled away.

"Margaret, you just wait here, ready to answer me with a long rope."

Coldly watched as Gerald struggled to climb upwards, Lester tumbling down at Margaret's exclamation.

But before he could climb down the two high platforms, the sound of a metal bowstring bouncing came from the darkness.

A short, dark red bolt sliced through the air and clung to Gerald's face into the thick rock wall, splattering a small pebble that sliced through the miner's cheek.

"Wow, ah!!hhh

"Gerald!! If you don't want to die, move quickly!! I am here!! ”

He was already in complete despair, but Gerald suddenly heard a familiar voice and couldn't help but look up.

In a trance, he saw a familiar face.

"My lord!! Save me!! ”

"I'll save you! You keep climbing!! ”

Biting his lip, the smell of rust penetrated deep into his throat, and Gerald, who activated the desire to survive, moved a lot faster.

The torch at the bottom is completely extinguished.

The muffled squeak of the rat grew closer and closer, as if an endless stream of rats were rapidly approaching the three in the darkness.

"Whoosh! Sou! ”

Two more crossbow bolts were fired at Gerald, one of them missed, flying into the depths of darkness, and the other shot flew into Gerald's chest with precision, bringing out a handful of blood flowers, piercing a bloody hole in Gerald's chest and biting hard into the stone wall.

"Lord...... Big...... Big ......"

The unspoken words froze in his chest and could no longer be spoken, and the eyes of hope quickly lost their luster, and the miner's body was hung by crossbow arrows on the rock wall, and life withered.

Drops of blood fall from the sky and drip onto the ground, pouring out the last elegy of life and death.

Retracting his gaze from Gerald's corpse and staring into the darkness, the man's eyes completely cold.

"Your Lord! Here comes the rope! ”

"Lord Lester! Catch the rope!! ”

"Whoosh!"

Three bolts came from three different directions from bottom to top, and Lester quickly crawled on the ground, avoiding the two bolts that flew first and shot into the rock walls on both sides.

The last one seemed to be at the wrong angle, and the bolt did not go into the rock wall, but scraped the rock wall and slashed straight away, falling from the air and being held in Lester's hand before falling into the darkness.

Grabbing the rope and pinning the forearm-length crossbow to his waist, Lester quickly alternated his hands and crawled upwards.

"Squeak Squeak......"

The rat's chirping became louder and louder, and crossbow bolts flew behind him, but he could only vent his frustration powerlessly behind Lester, and made small holes in the rock wall.

Climbing up the black hole, pushing away Margaret who wanted to stand in front of him, dodging several crossbows flying in front of him, Lester snatched the torch from Joey's hand again and threw it directly into the depths of darkness.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

The torches flying in the air emitted a dim light, and the arc of light slowly cut through the darkness, illuminating a pair of red, bloodthirsty eyes.

It was hundreds of red-skinned rats the size of children, dressed in rudimentary dark leather armor, with short knives glowing with dark blood and grotesque crossbows that shimmered with metallic sheen, arrows of arrows that glowed as evil dark red like the cruel eyes of bloodthirsty rats.

"Squeak squeak!!"

The torches that landed on the ground were extinguished in an instant, and hundreds of pairs of dark red points of light disappeared from the darkness, only the cacophony of the rock wall told that the metal steel claws were now deeply piercing the solid rock wall, climbing upwards with the evil master.

Swing your knife to cut the rope.

"Run! Don't stop! Don't look back! ”

Picking up a few more dropped bolts from the ground, Lester pulled Margaret and ran towards the entrance.

"Lord wait for me!!"

Having also seen the terrible evil in the depths of the darkness, Joey followed the two with his legs limp, and ran out of the ground with a rolling belt.

The three of them came to the entrance to the third branch of the mine, next to several tall wooden beams, where Billlister was sweating profusely with torches, and three other miners with oil lamps in their hands, with fearful faces on their faces.

"Smash the oil lamp on the wood and light it with a torch."

The glass cracked, and the oil soaked into the surface of the wooden beams emitted a distinctive smell, and with the group taking two steps back, Billlister threw away the torch in his hand, and the flames quickly ignited the stacked wooden beams, igniting a raging fire.

"Withdraw!"

Shortly after the group left, a squeaky sound came from the other side of the fire, briefly blocked from the back of the wall of fire.

The crockpot slashed through the air and smashed against the burning wooden beams, and the cracked crockpot spilled a strange green juice that quickly suppressed the burning flames.

As he retreated to the second branch of the mine, Lester encountered a dozen Noxian Black Iron Guards and two Black Rose Mages approaching him.

Lester, who had originally wanted the Black Iron Guard to face an unknown enemy, had to give up this somewhat arbitrary idea after seeing the enemy's true face.

If there is anything more terrifying than the number of red-skinned rats and the strange weapons in their hands, it is the degree of organization that is reflected in the clear division of labor.

Even though it was only a quick glance in the afterglow of the torches, he could see the terrifying organization hidden beneath the manic rat swarm.

There is no organization, it is a bunch of berserk rats that can be easily exterminated, however, the fact is that this group of mutant rats behaves very measuredly, the rock climbing rat is responsible for building a lock hanging wooden ladder, and the melee rat guards in front of the crossbow rat with a shield and a knife, and the crossbow rat shoots crossbow arrows to cover the rest of the rats.

There is no doubt that the Red Rats beneath the ground are a terrifying army with a definite class of troops, and to destroy an army, it requires not only another army and critical battlefield intelligence, but also a real war.

A killing between armies and armies.
