Chapter 836 Chapter 67 Heroes always appear at the end
Fermi called Belier, Ymir, and Blom to him.
No one knows if the nezumi will find a way to crack open the "hive", they will have to delay this last hour.
"Don't you have a way to contact Liberty City?" ”
"This is the talent of Lord Annan." Fermi replied.
"Then pray that your lord of Annam will remember you......"
Fermi skimmed over the topic: "We have no way back, we have to make sure the nezumi don't come in before six o'clock." ”
But it was as if the god of time was working against them...... It had been less than ten minutes since they had withdrawn. And......
"What sound?"
The dull, rustling of the wind through the forest sounded faintly underground.
They listened—
"They're digging up hills......," said Beryl suddenly, "that's how they got out of the ground into the streets of Fort Brunmandor." ”
"The rock formations here are thick...... Blom hesitated.
"Are you underestimating the mouse's burrowing talent?"
Well, Blom remembered the huge cavity beneath Breeze...... If it hadn't been discovered by Annan, Breeze City would no longer exist...... Although it is still too.
Adjutant Walter spun around, walked towards them, and handed Fermi a stack of notes.
"These are the suicide notes of the soldiers, and they are worried that they will not have a chance to go back."
Fermi took the suicide note, thought about it, took out another formal and enveloped suicide note from his arms, and put it together and handed it to Ymir.
"You're the one of us with the best chance of escaping...... If the basement is lost, we'll hold back the nezumi and give you time to leave. ”
Ymir took the suicide note, and Belier on the side sighed, "You are stronger than many knights I have ever seen. ”
The adjutant smiled bitterly: "There are rat people everywhere, and we can't withdraw if we want to." ”
There is also the order "Hold on until August 12th" hanging overhead...... I don't know if it's disobedience now.
"No, do you know what the last moments of Brunmandorburg were like? The walls were lost, and the nobles recalled their private soldiers and asked them to escort them away. The gangsters took advantage of the attack of the rat people, wantonly robbed property, and raped women and children. The rich man put himself in a perfectly built shelter, and Fort Brunmandor could have lasted at least five days, but it was captured by the nezumi in three days! ”
Balier used to be a minor nobleman, but now he just wants to spit on his former self.
"We'll talk about these things when we get out alive." Fermi interrupted them loudly, "We have to hold on again...... Fifty minutes. ”
In the brief silence, the rustling sound around was clearer than it had been three minutes earlier.
"We don't count." "Whether we can hold out for fifty minutes depends on whether the nezumi want us to die quickly......"
There were no more than ten mages who could still stand up, and they had no means to stop the evil power......
"I have a solution, but you have to trust me." Beryl said.
"I now give you the position of staff officer of the Hellfire Legion." Fermi proves trust with action.
"We will resist normally after the passage is dug up, but let the soldiers cough and wail deliberately, and never let the nezumi think that there is still hope for us...... In this way, all the people who squeeze in are greedy rat people. ”
"It's better that someone takes the initiative to send them to death, and play this scene well......" Beryl moved his lips, and finally did not say this.
Beryl tried to be ruthless, but he couldn't make those young faces die for his words...... Even if he had the illusion that as long as he said so, they would really sacrifice themselves in order to keep their companions alive.
"Let everybody do what Beryl says." Fermi and the adjutant said.
The adjutant gathered dozens of people who were coughing loudest—the most seriously ill people couldn't cough out loud.
After all this, there are still forty minutes left.
The rustle was closer, a terrifying movement that seemed to be gnawing at something from countless teeth.
The warriors gathered in front of the passage, the closest to the sound of the digging, and prepared to deal a blow to the gouge-free.
Good thing they don't dig overhead. Otherwise, the rats will pour in, and they will not be able to resist it no matter what.
"Remember, don't roar, don't scream, don't do anything to boost morale, imagine you're a hopeless defeated army......" Bellier admonished one last time.
They don't find it useful, but there is no price to it anyway......
Bang - bang - bang -
The mud walls blocking the passage began to loosen noticeably. Ymir finally placed a blessing on them.
"I'm going to show you—"
Beryl held his greatsword close to the loose dirt, and as he suddenly broke through a hole and burrowed out the nezute's hideous head—
"Help! They're in! ”
Beryl let out a woman's shrill cry as he plunged his sword into the nezumi's head.
As the holes mounted, Beryl retreated to the rear, leaving the heavily armored orcs in front.
The "band" standing aside began to cough one after another.
The rats' eyes flashed scarlet, and they pounced excitedly on the frail humans, who were greeted with powerful slashes—
Many rat people don't bat at their eyes, obviously human things are coughing, why are they moving so fast......
The rat corpses were piled up in the passageway, and the rats tore at the corpses of their companions and stuffed them into their mouths as they rushed forward to turn them into food.
Beryl was right!
Thirty minutes until evening.
They thought they would be able to hold out until the portal opened, but the nezumi in the passage suddenly changed from slave rats to elite rats.
The coughing and wailing of human things has not stopped since the beginning, but they die one by one, and the humans have nothing to do...... No matter how stupid the nezumi are, they should know what's going on.
The nezumi who poured into the passage changed from slave rats to elite rats. Except that the cans were more difficult to open, they did not eat, but pushed the corpses into the basement.
The warriors fought desperately for the passage, but the victorious scales rushed in as the elite rats did not want to die, stretched out the defenses, and fell to the nezumi.
They still have twenty minutes.
But there is no turning back.
Lokren's magic musket was aimed at an elite rat, stalled by the soldiers grappling with it.
Noticing that his warrior suddenly hugged the elite rat, he roared, "Shoot!" ”
Bang –
Gunshots rang out, and smoke was wiped out in the chaotic basement.
Everyone was fighting, and even Broken Tooth had taken Miller into the rat swarm, sneaking up on his unsuspecting kind, who had their backs to him—
At this time, I can't care about accidental injury.
But the influx of rat people is more and more, more and more......
There are still ten minutes to go...... Ten minutes like a moat.
Covered in blood, Fermi cut off the head of an elite rat with his back to him, and raised his head to look at Ymir, who was standing with the anchor: "We can't hold it...... Ymir, we'll cover your departure. ”
The elven mage begins to cast a spell. The rats didn't know what she was going to do, but they rushed to stop her.
An elite rat pounced with a fishy wind—
The sudden appearance of an arched portal cuts it in half.
