Chapter 1639 272. Falling into a trap, but the rat man

In the wizarding era, gargoyles and vampires were considered to be inextricably linked - they both looked like giant bats, were active at night and were both evil by nature and loved to eat flesh and blood.

However, as time went by, vampires became a race that was as evil as the devil but intelligent and followed order. Gargoyles, on the other hand, were classified as wild races like "wolves" and "dog-headed men" because they were similar to wild beasts in every aspect and mixed with demons.

After landing on the ground, they can be petrified into indestructible statues in a short period of time. In addition, they appear in groups, and for a long time they have been like banshees, becoming the death knell of the end of human cities and towns.

For the people at that time, nothing was more terrifying than getting up early in the morning and seeing the streets, eaves and window sills covered with petrified gargoyles in the morning mist.

To this day, there are still some forces with ancient heritage that erect gargoyle statues on the eaves of cemeteries and other places to symbolize death and eternal sleep.

As an air unit, it is naturally strong against ground creatures. Apart from Rangers and Mages, there is almost no good way to deal with Gargoyles.

It just so happens that magic muskets are one of the few weapons that can restrain gargoyles, and the numerical advantage that they are proud of is insignificant compared to thousands of muskets and hundreds of cannons.

The reconnaissance aircraft stayed away from the fleet to avoid being affected.

The group of gargoyles approaching the fleet began to dive, and when they were still two or three hundred meters from the sea surface, they suddenly climbed up, forming waves like spray in the air.

The soldiers on the deck kept their composure and waited patiently for the legion commander's orders.

The group of gargoyles failed to trick the humans into attacking after making fake moves, so they had to launch a direct attack, swooping down with a sound of breaking through the air.

"Fire!"

boom!
boom!
The sea, which had been quiet just now, suddenly became raging.

The artillery fire roared, and the gargoyles in the front were torn into pieces by the whistling bullets, exploding into balls of blood.

The dirty pieces of meat fell freely from the sky and landed on the surrounding sea like raindrops.

Gargoyles, without armor or thick skin, are no harder to fight than slave rats. In order to be able to accelerate and turn better in the air, they have evolved towards lightness. Their bones are hollow, and their wings are almost translucent when spread out. A hit to the body will cause a penetrating wound, and can even penetrate several wings in a row.

The gargoyles melted faster than snowflakes falling into water.

The large number of casualties in a short period of time caused the gargoyles to climb up with screams, no longer gathering in groups, and scattering across the sky.

They happened to find the weakness of the magic musket, but without the support of the ground, they continued to fall from the sky - to the ground.

The sea creatures around the bottom of the ship were not idle either. The strong fishmen sprayed water streams as high as a hundred meters, wetting the gargoyle wings and spreading a layer of frost.

Even if a few gargoyles broke through and landed on the deck, they would be chopped into two by human warriors who jumped out from nowhere.

The relatively thick "dark clouds" soon thinned out, and the gargoyles could only let the humans escape quickly - if they didn't escape, they would be the ones to escape.

The fleet turned around, escaped from the gargoyle's attack, and returned to the sea where the peninsula could be seen.

The Hellfire soldiers went into the warm cabin to keep warm and rest. A few of them stayed on the deck, huddled around the clerk who was holding up the magic stone, quietly waiting for the fel stone to be detonated.

In the captain's room, Fermi, Albek and Stevens sat around the fireplace, listening quietly to Albek's story of what happened after the cave.

It was just a story about a group of cold, hungry, desperate people dying in agony. There was nothing much to say, and the topic of conversation soon turned to what was happening on the mountain of Montreal, which was of most concern to Black Watch.

"Lord Annan believes that Mount Montreal is taking the opportunity to clean out the termites that have been sucking blood from the empire over the past hundred years," said Fermi.

In fact, it was Lord Olmedo's judgment on the situation in the empire, but Lord Olmedo's analysis was Lord Annan's analysis. "Annnan is right, there is nothing more suitable for internal operations than the tragic defeat of the Black Watch Corps..." Albek was very bitter, after all, they paid the price for this matter.

Albek had another question, but just as he opened his mouth to ask the projection of the Spider Queen Rose in the subspace, Fermi reminded him: "Don't ask, just pretend nothing happened."

"I know, but when I return to Montreal, if the Imperial Inquisition asks me, I will still tell the truth."

"It's natural."

Femi didn't let Albek ask because he himself couldn't explain the relationship between Lord Annan and Spider Queen Rose.

"What Spider Queen Rose?"

However, Scarlet Witch's eyes lit up as if she had heard some explosive news.

……

At this time, on the west coast twenty miles away from the fleet, the endless tide of rats stagnated, and a quarrel broke out in the center.

"Don't worry about the human stuff, keep moving forward, the Empire stuff is more important!"

"Didn't you hear Zom-La say that the north is a trap set by humans!"

"Elder, are you scared?"

"You're an inbred, stupid rat! A pervert with not even three hairs on your body!"

"No! You can't! Say that to me!"

The Rat King, who was as big as a small hill, roared, causing many ratmen who were nearby to cover their ears in pain.

Just as the ratman elder "insulted" him, the Rat King looked extremely deformed. The McKeon ratman was not as smooth and sleek as the Stunn ratman, and it looked even uglier without hair. In addition, its body was covered with tumors of varying sizes. Its right arm was extremely thick, almost hanging to the ground, but it had no left arm... No, it should not be said that it had no left arm. It's just that its left arm was the same size as that of an ordinary ratman, growing on a giant ratman that could reach nearly 10 meters when standing up, as if it didn't exist.

The ratman elder standing in front of it was wearing a coat, and his exposed head was also hairless. He cursed at the Rat King who could smash him into a meat patty with one punch.

"Have you quarreled enough? Have you forgotten that you are twins?"

The Rat Priest had heard enough of the quarrel between the two stupid brothers, and his voice was hoarse and cold: "The devil is watching, they can't escape, go back first, don't give the devil a chance!"

The ratmen priests almost only obey the high priest, and the high priest's task to the Red Eye Clan is to defend the Demon Minion Peninsula, so Black Watch has nothing to do with them.

If they solve the Empire's problems, they won't get any rewards, and if they mess up they'll be scolded. So why take the risk?

"You can't command the Red Eye Clan!" The ratman elder bit back angrily.

The rat priest roared: "You idiot, I'm speaking for you!"

After arguing for more than ten minutes, the decision-makers of the Red Eye Clan finally made a decision to temporarily return to the Devil's Minion Peninsula.

The "wise" ratman elder of the Red Eye Clan was so smart that he thought that the Empire had fallen into a trap, and now the Empire wanted to trap them as well, so they must not be fooled.

As a result, he really fell into the trap of the six-armed snake demon.
