Section 105 Escape the rat tide
Farias was a strict mage. For example, he made the 118th turn on the deck and was making the 119th turn.
And on the thirty-fifth, seventy-sixth, hundredth, and now, Farias thought about asking the captain why he was not well, but this unbelievable merchant ship loaded with dozens of large water elementals and somehow ran to the Strait of Obilis was really capable of helping them solve the crisis......
His patience ran out on the one hundred and twentieth lap, and when he was holding on to the help of the ship anyway, the young unspoken captain came into view.
"Our lord has promised to see you."
……
The dirty mage robe with the horns missing, the burn marks on the face, and the tiredness on the expression...... Annan had never seen such an embarrassed mage.
Farias was also watching Annan, a steadily constructed portal, a mage robe that burned at least three spells, and the rare black hair......
They were saved.
"The great King of the North, Farias Tia, on behalf of the Lord of the Castle, Count Ulmit, salutes you, and may the world praise your devotion." Farias stroked his chest and pleaded, "Your Excellency, King of the North, we need the help of your men. ”
"My captain told me a rough run...... Endless nezumi are coming, right? With all due respect, you should now figure out how to retreat. ”
"The nearby city-states are also resisting the rat tide, as long as you hold on-"
"The new Primal is coming from the north." Francois interrupted with a loud voice: "The south has fallen, and the humans of the north are fleeing their homes due to the plague and the rat people...... Even if you don't retreat, you're holding on to the city-state like you, and you won't have support. ”
"The rat tide just passes through here, and when they realize they can't bite the castle, they give up." Farias is still holding on.
"I don't think so."
As the uncrowned rat hunting champion and the record holder of the Rat Hunt in Xingyue Bay, Annan, who has not talked about his killing in the rat man's lair for more than ten days, understands the habits of the rat man: "Have you found the corpse of the rat man? ”
Farias just wanted to say a lot, but compared to the rat people they killed, like the sand and gravel on the seaside......
"They don't even spare the corpses of their companions, why would they spare your castle? Maybe use your savings to ...... some 'food'."
Annan suddenly felt like a Sturne rat, using trickery to get the humans to give up - only the rat people wanted to grab territory, and Annan wanted to save them.
"But these are just your guesses!" Fariath was furious as Annan questioned their bravery and the price they had paid: "Our castle has almost fallen several times, and the foul blood of the nezumi has spread from the walls to the count's bedroom!" ”
"We saw the Illager last night." Francois said.
All the anger, courage and confidence of Farias froze at this moment: "...... What? ”
"But for some reason, it disappeared."
"Calamity...... Maybe you're mistaken? ”
"There are no other spectators here, the nezumi don't need to perform......" Francois suddenly said something: "I'm sorry, I forgot to mention, one of the thirteen nezumi clans, McKenn, so it's not that you are facing a group of nezumi who suddenly appeared, but you are in the way of the McKenn clan's migration." ”
“…… I must tell the Count quickly. Your Excellency the King of the North......"
"I'll let my men take some of the pressure off you on the sea, but the rat tide army could arrive at any time, and your best bet is to retreat."
Annan looked at Farias sympathetically: "Convey this to your lord." ”
After Farias teleported back to the castle, Annan told Abby to go to the captain of the guard and gather all the water elementals.
Annan hadn't seen the scale of the rat tide with his own eyes, but if it was the scale when Augusta led the rat horde to attack the city, dozens of elite water elements would not be enough to resist the rat tide. Throw the amulet over? That Mr. Schwaro might not be happy......
In the northwest of the Obilis Strait, the new Initial, which had been anchored overnight, slowly approached the shoreline and stopped a few hundred meters from the beach.
The large water elementals jumped overboard, floated on the surface of the sea, and continued to approach the shore. They enjoy spell bonuses in the sea and can replenish elements at any time.
Under the combined spell of more than sixty large water elementals, waves several meters high emerge and rush onto the beach, sweeping hundreds of squeaking rats into the sea, and then repeating the scene.
"Do you know where nezumen and dwarves are similar?" Fast held up his fishing rod, "They're all 'sinking when they hit the water' hahaha - damn it, how did you catch a nezumi!" ”
At first, the crew gathered on the deck to watch, but as time went on, even the most hated rat-man crew felt sleepy.
"They can't kill ......"
"It's like we're scooping a dry lake with a spoon......"
"Or maybe Mr. Fast wants to catch all the fish in the sea......"
It didn't even relieve the pressure on the castle - the nezumi were still like a tidal wave, rushing to the castle on the cliffs.
Perhaps the only role was to get Farias' thanks when he teleported to the ship again.
"Count Ulmit has decided to evacuate, how shall we leave?"
Annan, who opened the portal on time, asked him if he could bring the heavy Wanma into the castle, and Farias said that they still had the teleportation scroll.
"Bring it over, and I'll use it as a medium to open a portal to my territory."
Agreeing to open the portal at dusk an hour later, Annan summoned Ingrid and told them about the castle.
"Have you forgotten how you contracted the epidemic last time?" Ingrid reminded, "They have been besieged by the nezumi for so many days, and it is likely that they are also carrying the plague." ”
If you don't want the plague to spread in Starmoon Bay, keep them away from town.
Put them in Glacier Harbor? It's too late now.
Annan was still thinking about an idea, and the treeman druid said that they could move to the forest, and the forest would cleanse them of the plague.
After the priests lost their magic, the druids became the best at dealing with blight, but they never came near the town.
When the plague ceased to be a threat, Annan patiently waited for the twilight to come.
As dusk approached, the large water elementals returned to the ship, and the new Primordial stayed away from shore to prevent the nezumi from turning the finger on the side.
The emotions of the crew ranged from fear to hatred to numbness - from yesterday to today, the migratory plague still has no end in sight, it seems endless, leaving a devastation everywhere it passes.
Sometime at dusk, Francois from the lookout observed that the nezumi who had been fended off outside the castle had suddenly flooded the walls and occupied the last pure land in the area.
Just a few minutes after the castle fell, the cliff collapsed with thunderous tremors, and the cliff that had overlooked the entire hill disappeared, leaving only a surging rat tide.
Then, fall silent.
