Chapter 49 Pyrrhic victory

Alice held the wooden iron gun tightly in her hand, staring at the countless pairs of evil red eyes in the darkness without blinking, the scene in front of her reminded her of the nocturnal wolves she had encountered in the Gorrell Mountains when she was a child.

The difference is that the eyes of those wolves are green, cunning and cruel, while the eyes of these big rats in front of them are red, and there is a bit more bloodthirsty fury on top of cunning.

"Alice, never expose your back to the beasts, use your courage, wisdom and lit fire to banish them......"

This is what my father, who holds a scimitar in his hand and guards the fire to fight the wolves, told himself, and the weapon in his hand is much more terrible than the short scimitar in his father's hand.

His father's scimitar was made for hunting and skinning, and his spear was born to kill.

The half-human-tall rat pawns finally met the attack magic that fell from the sky, and they rushed together with the sword and shield hands in the front row.

"Stand up for the shield!"

The captain's cold voice came from his ears.

Sweet set up a half-body iron shield more than a meter long, straightened his waist, and slammed into the rats who swung their knives.

"Squeak!"

The crimson short knife slashed at the large iron shield, leaving only a shallow mark before the owner of the short knife was flipped to the ground by the impact of the iron shield, revealing a soft belly that was not protected by red scale armor.

"Shoot!"

The familiar sound of the command flew from the sky, and Alice stared, holding a gun in both hands and stabbing the rat in the belly.

It was like poking a piece of skinned pheasant filled with water, and after a bunch of colorful organs flowed out, the mouse in front of him stopped struggling and swallowed its last breath.

There was a red-headed crossbow bolt flying with a "whoosh", and Sweet set up the iron shield again, reminding the girl without looking back.

"Watch your body down!"

Instinctively crouching down, the crossbow flew dangerously and dangerously against her cheeks, Alice felt a little warm on the right side of her face, but she didn't have time to do more, she could only hold the spear tightly, and the crazy rat pawn stepped on the corpse of her companion and pounced again.

Swords collide, blood flies.

Chop feet, chop legs, chop hands,

The rat infantry who did not have an advantage in height specialized in the lower three lanes of the soldiers, and did everything they could, and a rat holding a crockpot threw the crockpot in his hand at the sword and shield hand in the front row, and the crockpot shattered on the iron shield, sputtering out a dark green corrosive liquid,

The iron shield made a corrosive sound, and the Noxian soldier who was touched by the green liquid quickly let out a scream, and the flesh melted away like spring snow, revealing a pile of white bones.

The broken formation soon welcomed more rat infantry, but fortunately, new sword and shield men stepped up to block the attack of the rats......

Observing the situation on the battlefield, Lester's expression was a little cold.

Although they managed to gain the advantage of the terrain by defending the narrow cave, the casualties remained high, and the weapons of these underground red-skinned rats were too strange, looking rudimentary, but the hardness and sharpness were much higher than steel.

Moreover, these rats have many methods, and now it seems that there are still commanders who are coordinating the actions of the rats.

"Bone Eater!"

Meredith finally finished the black magic she had been preparing for a long time, and the green cursed bone mud turned into a large ball of half-human flames that shimmered with green light, and under the control of the female mage, she slowly flew towards the mine and smashed to the ground silently.

"Poof!"

The green flames that landed on the ground exploded into the sky like white phosphorus bombs falling from the sky, and hundreds of small green flames shot quickly in all directions, overwhelmingly sweeping towards the rats.

"Squeak Squeak!!"

The dozens of rats whose skin was stained with green flames let out a painful wail, and the instinct to escape was stimulated, and the rats fled aimlessly in all directions, soon bringing the green flames that burned their flesh to their companions, causing a new round of burning.

The green flames spread rapidly like a plague virus, and the attack of the rat colony was instantly defeated.

A rat with its body set on fire tried to rush out of the hole and pounce on the Black Iron Guard's soldiers, but was instantly killed by the Shadow Crossbowman.

"Squeak!"

An extremely sharp chirp sounded from inside the cave, and the chaotic footsteps quickly faded away, only the rats that had not yet burned through the bones were still chirping in pain, and soon lost their voice.

Seeing such a terrifying enemy easily defeated by the strange Green Flame, many soldiers were in awe of the black-robed Black Rose Mage.

Leicester frowned.

Reality and games are still different after all, in this world, a powerful mage obviously will not only have four skills, just like Meredith will not only have 'Bone Eater',

With a new understanding of the terrifying power of 'magic', Lester's heart was a little more gloomy.

The power of the transcendent is too strong, and it is not a good thing for most ordinary people and themselves.

Now, though, is not the time to think about this.

Seeing that the green flames in the mine were about to completely dissipate, Lester said coldly.

"Avoid the burning green flames! Quickly collect all the items dropped by the rats! The complete corpses will also be moved out, and the scope will be limited to the entrance of the mine, and the rest of the mages will prepare rock magic and wait for the soldiers to come out and quickly seal the mine! ”

The soldiers with torches moved quickly, and the soldiers, who were afraid that the rats would return and return, quickly carried the loot dropped by the rats with a clear division of labor, and piled up a large pile outside the mine.

Corpses, rotten animal skins, stone carvings of rats, bone ornaments, short knives, red-headed crossbows, strangely shaped crossbows, and even a dozen dark red 'stones'.

After all the soldiers came out, the mage of the black rose cast a spell at the same time, and quickly sealed the mine with rock magic.

In order to prevent the rats from digging up the rocks, Lester also ordered the mages to set up several magic guards in the mines, which could act as a monitor before the mana disappeared.

After everything was done, the soldier who had calmed down looked at his comrades who were sleeping forever beside him, bowed his head and said nothing.

Just defending the entrance of a mine cave that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, not counting the disabled, the Emerald Leader had killed more than fifty people, close to a quarter of the total number of Noxus Black Iron Guards, and the losses were not insignificant.

This time, the enemy is far more terrifying than imagined.

"They are Noxians, they died on the battlefield with glory, and they used their lives to buy us precious time and give us a chance to understand what kind of monsters these rats are coming out of the ground."

Lester's voice was calm, and he pointed to the dead rats and trophies stacked on the ground.

"This group of rats is organized, disciplined, thoughtful, knows how to forge,

They may all have their own culture, and there is no doubt that they are armies, and they are the same beings as we are.

Treating them like rats is the greatest disrespect for the dead warriors,

They are warriors, warriors like us, warriors who want to exterminate us. ”

"The highest respect we can bring to the rat warriors is to use the most brutal war to completely exterminate them, leaving no one behind."

After a pause, Lester said coldly.

"The war of extermination between us and the rats has just begun."
