Chapter 178 Engine
"John Blaine of Artois, I am happy to be of service to you."
The knight smiled humorously, and this model of all knights in the Old World saluted the foreigners.
Lynch was not going to get involved in the chaos in Predator Port anymore, his goal had been achieved.
The four troublemakers simply boarded the ship. Under the fearful gaze of ordinary sailors and pirate captives, Lynch and his group of foreigners stood on the ship. Before leaving, they glanced at the fire all over the city.
This seemed to scare the ordinary people on the ship even more.
For some reason, Lynch vaguely felt that the city had suddenly turned into a dead city.
The wizard also saw the phantom of the dead city in his vision.
But even though the ship was about to leave the port, Lynch could hear the screams of the pirates in the Plunderer Harbor, and the more fierce resistance, it was still full of vitality.
Countless fat rats appeared in the burning city, forming a carpet under the firelight.
From time to time, groups of rats were set on fire, but even the increasingly fierce flames could not stop the huge rats that were as numerous as sand.
The sound of gunfire throughout the city gradually became less frequent, as the Norscans, without the Chaos Warriors leading them, were unable to break through the artillery positions.
Many pirates were afraid of fighting and wanted to escape by ship, but their ships had already been burned.
In the west district, the last of the Norse raiders were brought down by a volley of gunfire, and before anyone could begin to celebrate, rats as big as cats poured out of the ruins and collapsed drains.
At first, people just laughed in shock. Some brave ones even grabbed the rat's tail, lifted it up, and swung it in the air to vent the fear accumulated during the war.
Screams rang out one after another, and the rats found the right opportunity in mid-air and bit the humans who offended them.
The wounds soon began to ooze pus, and by the time people realized the rats were carrying disease, it was too late.
More dense swarms of rats came from underground and from all directions. The thick rat carpet suppressed the pirates on the street. After the rats passed, only bones covered with bite marks were left on the ground.
The cannons fired again, and more gunshots echoed.
Every shell can create a bloody rain all over the sky, even if it is not aimed.
But the continuous bombardment was just a drop in the bucket. The rat tide did not decrease at all, but instead increased in number.
The rats used their corpses to put out the fire spreading in the north city. No pirate was grateful for this, they only felt a chill to the bones.
The pirate leaders no longer hesitated to use the advanced gunpowder smuggled from the empire in their arsenals and began a desperate fight.
There is no way to retreat on the sea, and going to the rainforest means there is no chance of survival, so they must make one last fight.
A pirate leader found the pirate king's hiding place, but discovered only a broken crystal mirror in the basement.
After fear comes greed. As long as he can lead the pirates through this difficult time, he will be the new Pirate King.
Obviously, this is a delusion.
The melodious bell sounds pierced the pirates' eardrums. No pirate had ever heard of this evil sound, because all the pirates who had seen the shrill death bells were dead, and there would be no survivors.
When the pirate leader returned to the ground, he saw only a completely paralyzed defense line, pirates lying powerlessly on sandbags, and fat rats gnawing at the pirates.
The dark night is filled with scarlet eyes, which look at humans greedily, hoping to get a bite of food.
To make matters worse, the artillery positions in all directions fired a few times in succession before falling completely silent.
Only a few pirates heard the screams and cries of the bombardiers, as they were already unable to take care of themselves.
When the Plague Monk set foot in this city infected by rats, there were only messy bones everywhere.
There were no more rebels, and the mere prelude of the Plague Clan rat tide had cleared out all living things in the city.
Si Ku Ke arrived at the dock unhindered, but found nothing.
The magical vision told him that four living creatures, not in a very decayed state, had gone deep into the sea.
It failed, even with a weapon that could kill with one strike.
A creepy roar came from further south in the jungle, resounding through the rainforest like rumbling thunder.
Si Ku Ke knew that this was the voice of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
It could also sense that a large army of lizardmen was approaching.
It couldn't stay any longer. It couldn't fight a useless battle with the Lizardmen for no reason.
The Plague Clan's focus is not on the rainforest now, so it must retain its strength to prevent other large clans from taking advantage of the situation.
But if it was a small army, Si Ku Ke could easily divert the tide of rats and completely engulf them.
A beam of light rose from the dead jungle on the south side and shot straight into the sky.
Not long after, a huge laser fell from the sky and slammed heavily onto the ground.
The ground was shaking. The laser with a diameter of thousands of meters did not stay on the ground. Although just one hit was enough to destroy the city, this was not its true power.
The laser slowly cut northward, tearing apart the earth. Wherever the laser passed, there were only deep scorch marks on the empty ground.
The terrifying beam of light, with its endless buzzing sound, pierced through the rat tide in one fell swoop.
Si Ku Ke sounded the death knell again, but it was an order to retreat.
This is definitely not a small army of lizardmen, this is a large army of lizardmen, the cold-blooded have discovered it, this is the army that came to eliminate it! Si Ku Ke has heard similar voices during the Millennium War.
The prophet of the serpent god had used similar tactics to attack them before. Skuk had seen the Engine of the Gods carried on the back of a Triceratops, and all the plague priests who were closer to the engine than it were had died.
The Disaster Lord who led them into the enemy camp also had his body burned by the engine.
Even the Disaster Lord would not want to face this Ancient Saint Engine, let alone a mortal like him? The Lizardmen have already brought out the Engine of the Gods, and the number of cold-blooded species guarding the engine must be countless. This may be the main force of the Serpent God.
Sikuk hurriedly fled to the northwest. He had to find another way out. The Grey Prophet's commission could no longer be completed.
The sea breeze blew on Lynch, and the lizard man quietly enjoyed the coolness of the night.
The noisy dwarves and elves had been driven into the cabin, and Teclis became inexplicably weak.
Lynch knew that the archmage was seasick.
This is a ridiculous fact.
The wizard who can make the great demon afraid will turn pale in the sail of a mortal.
Dozens of spells in a row failed to cure his symptoms.
The wizard hid in a room inside the ship. He didn't want to expose his ugly appearance.
Lynch could do nothing to help and could only advise him to adapt as soon as possible.
It's just a slight shake, you'll get used to it.
Sorian and Ledin were arguing in the cabin without any impact, and Lynch could still hear their noise.
The better thing was that John was also a quiet guy. He sat on the deck next to Lynch, looking quietly to the northeast.
Lynch knew that was the direction of Bretonnia.
It seems that he is not as indifferent as he appears to be.
According to the wizard, the knight was cursed by something that was irreversible.
He came too late, there was a solution to the curse in the early stages.
