Chapter 231 Rat Man
Crown led his troops to set out in the afternoon. Since he was going to take over the mining area and resume production, he also brought a large number of engineering and technical personnel and baggage.
Although the mine's smelting plant was very close to the new parish, it still took an hour to get there.
After arriving at the place, the troops first cooperated with the logistics personnel to clean up the accommodation.
By the time I was basically done, it was already dusk.
A ray of setting sun shines through the sparse trees, casting patches of orange and red. The autumn wind blows, and the light and shadows float.
Crown slowed down his movements and finished practicing the Giant Bear Breathing Technique.
After coming here, all the work was done by others and he had nothing to do, so he began to practice breathing techniques happily.
Since both pets have escaped, it would be a waste to practice the breathing method. It's like doing a job that could pay you two times, but you feel you're at a disadvantage if you only get one.
The idle soldiers looked at the hardworking bishop from afar with admiration in their eyes.
Among the soldiers, many witnessed his battle with the Deer-Headed Demon.
A thin and short human was able to use a shield to knock the tall deer-headed spirit several meters away. The visual impact shocked them greatly.
It turns out that we can become so powerful! These are the voices of the soldiers who were lucky enough to witness the battle firsthand.
"Look, the bishop is practicing the Giant Bear Breathing Technique, right? Why doesn't he practice the church's breathing technique?"
"I think the Bishop's fire breath has reached a bottleneck. I'll practice the giant bear breathing method to change my thinking."
The soldiers talked at once, guessing the reason.
At this time, Watt came over and shouted in a low voice: "What are you all doing here?! Go check the defense measures for the night. It may not be safe at night."
He had been accompanying Crowne on inspections these days, and the two had developed a certain tacit understanding, so Fanny promoted him to adjutant to assist Crowne in his work.
The troops had been hunting outside the parish these days, but no hunting had been done at night, nor had they entered the mines.
"Captain, we have just rested. Look, we are still sweating."
"I feel like it won't be peaceful at night, so I'd better be prepared so I don't get flustered when something happens."
Just as Watt was ordering the soldiers to check for gaps, Crown came over and said, "Come with me to patrol. I want to see how the night defense of the camp is going."
As the highest commander of the camp, he is responsible for security matters.
In the past, he had superiors so he didn’t have to worry about anything and just did whatever his boss told him to do. Now he has to think about these things on his own because he is the backbone of this group of people.
People in different positions do different things.
"OK."
Watt hastily agreed. He waved his hand to signal the soldiers to leave quickly, and then said: "Sir, I have arranged the defense measures and am preparing to report to you. Please go this way and we will talk while we walk."
"I will reorganize the Crusaders and the Holy Army to ensure that each group has two extraordinary people."
"In addition, we will dispatch four Crusader squads and divide them into two groups to provide mobile support at night."
Watt explained his plans and defensive measures one by one. He had several years of experience in field combat and had his own set of efficient and feasible methods.
Crown listened and nodded continuously. The other party was indeed very professional and better than his unsophisticated self.
He recalled what happened in the mines near the town of Zak and the situation in the tunnels above Castle Bran, and thought that there might be a large number of mutant rats hiding in the mines.
Logically speaking, there is no food source in places like mines, so rats would not stay there, but mutant rats do live in mines.
After the inspection, Crown had dinner and returned to the designated room to rest.
Fukin and Bast had returned, and he began to visualize the Golden Light Mantra.
Two hours later, he ended his visualization and began to refine the sun's essence, and the two pets went out together to look for food again.
Fortunately, there are no pesticides or rat poison in this world, so he doesn't need to worry about the food safety of his pets.
Coming to a strange environment, he will remain alert tonight.
. . . .
The lights that were always on in the camp attracted the attention of certain beings in the Hammers Mine. A group of monsters walking upright walked out of the mine and groped their way to the edge of the camp.
These monsters have thick gray or brown hair, an enlarged rat-like head, and a long, thin tail on their hips.
A few months ago, these monsters were just a group of stiff-haired rats, attracted by something inexplicable and digging downwards madly.
Later, the group of mice dug a cave, inside which was a small pool of dark green liquid.
The mice drank the unknown liquid and began to mutate.
Their limbs became longer and they began to try to walk upright on their hind legs. The phalanges of their forelimbs became slender and able to grasp things as flexibly as humans.
These monsters possess an extremely unstable but not underestimated intelligence, and can already be called ratmen.
Rat people have extremely strong digestive functions. Their food is very diverse. Minerals and plants can be their meals, but their favorite is fresh flesh and blood, and they will not let go of bones.
Every night they come out of the mine to hunt, but in recent days they have been catching less and less prey.
The ratmen decided to travel a greater distance in order to look for meat.
They hid in the darkness, looking at the bright land ahead. They saw another kind of creature walking upright, which looked delicious.
The ratman leader roared, and a large number of ratmen swarmed forward.
They rushed forward wearing tattered furs and holding simple wooden sticks. In fact, these weapons were all the same. Their sharpest weapons were still their sharp teeth.
When ratmen all over the mountains rushed into the range of light, all the soldiers on guard were startled.
These monsters were as tall as humans and had rat heads. They were ugly and disgusting in appearance and were creatures that had never been seen before.
Watt happened to be patrolling over, and he immediately released a signal flare, then drew his weapon and shouted, "Prepare for battle."
. . . .
Crown was practicing the Giant Bear Breathing Technique when he suddenly felt a faint vibration coming from the ground, as if thousands of troops were galloping towards him.
He immediately left the room, jumped onto the roof, and looked in the direction of the source of the vibration.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When he saw a large group of ratmen, he was stunned. With his knowledge, he had never seen this kind of humanoid creature.
You should know that his level of magic spiritualism has reached the fourth level, and most of the low-level extraordinary creatures in this world are included in the church's information.
Logically speaking, he should not see creatures that he did not recognize in the Kingdom of Farouk. Although dynasties have changed, the church has taken root in this land for thousands of years and has always been a dominant existence. In theory, there should be no humanoid creatures that have not been included.
He judged the strength of these things from the monsters' running speed and muscle group reactions, and found that quite a number of them had reached the level of extraordinary creatures.
At this moment, he saw a flare rising in front of him.
Shit, did the mouse mutate after taking the medicine?! Klauen cursed inwardly and immediately summoned the Fire Cube. The next second, a metal clone appeared beside him.
He and his clone were in tune with each other, and they both ran in the direction of the monster's attack.
There were a large number of attacking monsters, and they kept rushing out from the darkness. There were only two hundred Crusaders and fifty Crusaders participating in the night watch, of which there were only four second-level transcendents. It was difficult for them to resist such an attack.
The rat leader stood in the darkness, watching the battlefield, and if he found that the battle was going well, he would immediately take action himself.
If the enemy is stronger, use ordinary ratmen to consume the enemy's physical strength, and then go down and reap his life when the enemy is about to collapse.
As a noble leader, it gave itself a name: Skaven.
It is the strongest and most cunning of the ratmen, and it once heard the voice of the "gods" on a full moon night.
A Skaven will not accept a risky battle. If it is injured in battle, it may lose its position as leader.
It doesn't need to be stronger than its enemies, it just needs to be stronger than all of its kind.
Crown was very fast, like a bullet, and he ran to Watt's side in a few seconds. No close combat had taken place yet.
While running, he released the Solidified Armor, Golden Light Body Protection and Source Armor in turn, and at the same time two bronze one-handed swords appeared in his left and right hands.
No matter how strong the enemy is, it is a good habit to prioritize stacking armor. If you encounter a disaster, there will be no future.
The battle with the Deer-Headed Demon sounded a wake-up call for him. Perhaps the enemy was hiding some very threatening killing moves.
Stacking the thickest armor will give you more tolerance.
You only have one life, and there are some mistakes you cannot make even once.
"Watt, command the troops to defend," he growled and rushed forward, while the metal clone stayed behind to assist the troops in defense.
He used the Giant Bear Breathing Technique and released a storm of sword blades.
If the fire breath is used, there will be a barbecue smell on the battlefield. Who knows whether these rat-like things will emit poisonous smoke after being ignited.
Crown is like a high-powered meat grinder, causing blood and gore wherever he goes.
The blood and body parts spraying all over the sky not only failed to scare away the rat people, but instead aroused their ferocity.
More ratmen fearlessly rushed towards Klauen, turning into proficiency in Blade Storm.
He wielded his weapon so tightly that no air could penetrate it and no water could get in. He killed his way in and out of the horde of monsters seven times without a drop of blood on his body.
"Blade Storm is really a battlefield meat grinder type of skill that can crush weaklings. With this skill, no matter how many low-level targets come up, they will become my experience."
The rats were frightened and the follow-up troops stopped moving forward.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Skaven had to order a retreat. It decided to sacrifice a few ratmen to the gods after returning and seek a way to eliminate the most powerful enemy.
It could smell the fragrance of flesh and blood from a long distance. It smelled a soul-stirring desire in the enemy who killed the most of its own kind, which was so intoxicating.
It felt that by devouring this enemy, it would be able to quickly become powerful.
