Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 37 Where did the rat people come from? (Million words)

It was another day of Ward's march, and Herme's army marched across the land.

Herme's subordinates are all downcast now, and even their weapons are hanging on their shoulders, looking very listless.

The morale of the soldiers is quite low. They have experienced a lot of bad and troublesome things in the past few days.

First of all, the sky has been gloomy for a long time, as if some dark force has gained the upper hand, which makes people very uncomfortable.

But if it's just the weather, it's absolutely impossible to make morale so low.

Because they encountered a Cossack warband that entered first.

Of course, it was a corpse.

The Cossack war gang was attacked on the way, which can be seen from the messy road. The enemy came from all directions and crushed the team of roughly a hundred people.

As for why it is clear that there are hundreds of people, because everyone has seen the heads of these people.

The enemies—the ratmen, as one might expect—arranged the heads of the Cossacks by the roadside, displaying their trophies.

Looking at the neatly arranged human heads, Herme felt chills. The Ratman strung up some human heads in a wicked way. The scene looked like...

In Herme's view, the only cruelty that can be compared with these is El Dann's endless tricks.

As for the corpses of the Cossacks and their horses, they were all gone.

Based on his understanding of the ratmen (referring to the Skaven rats he saw in his previous life), Homer guessed that most of these corpses were dragged away and gnawed off.

But miraculously, Herme found a survivor, a half-mad Cossack who wandered naked in the wilderness.

It seems that he has been living in the wilderness like this for a while, and I don't know how this guy has survived until now.

After confirming the person's human identity, Hemei asked someone to pull him in front of him, and he wanted to ask this guy some things.

It's just that the value of this person is that he doesn't know three things, he doesn't know his name, he can't tell what happened to him, he can only say some crazy things.

"It's over, it's all over." and "All the rats are dead."

This greatly affected morale.

In Cossack society, crazy guys are considered to be able to see some truths that mortals cannot see, and their words are very convincing to some people.

The Cossacks were the most affected, but fortunately Katya's scolding made them recover quickly - but whether it worked or not, only a genius knows.

As for the Sazarburg militia, they responded well.

There are mostly new immigrants here, and they are not much influenced by Hackland's culture, so they still don't believe in these essences.

They only thought it was a lunatic doing something wrong, but some bad things were still planted in the hearts of the militiamen.

As for this lunatic, Herme asked the herbalist accompanying the army to keep him in the carriage.

No matter what, this person cannot be allowed to stay in the wilderness.

But after being taken in, this person didn't talk so much nonsense, and became a lot quieter, but from time to time he would do things that made everyone puzzled.

This actually made Herme breathe a sigh of relief. Compared with that annoying nonsense, it really doesn't matter just doing something that doesn't make sense.

And when these things are combined, the low morale is simply a matter of course.

"Herme, we can't do this anymore. We need something to boost our morale. If this continues, something bad will happen to the team sooner or later."

Katya rode up to Herme, her tone was full of worry,
"I know, Katya, but don't worry too much, the problem is not too big right now. And we can't do anything, there's nothing we can do right now, if those ratmen can show up and fight them That's fine, there are no more problems."

Herme looked at the team behind him, and saw a bunch of drooping spears, in stark contrast to the upright spears when they set off.

And Herme's worry is not too serious. Yes, if the situation continues like this, there may be troubles, but the problem is that the distance to that moment is still very long.

As long as there is no problem with the supply, it is still difficult to reach that situation.

That's why Hermey said that he wanted to go to war. The essence of the current situation is that everyone feels too bored and confused. People don't understand what's going on.

The essence is that, seeing these strange scenes along the way but not seeing the enemy, everyone feels empty.

So after a battle, the problem of depression will be solved, just let the soldiers know that those things can also be killed.

"Let's just keep going. If we turn around rashly, the situation might get worse."

Moreover, Hemei couldn't turn back. If he retreated hastily before contacting the enemy, it would cause a devastating blow to his reputation.

Commander Harkland took out the scorched black Cliff emblem. Although it was obviously useless, he still kept it by his side. Herme always felt at ease when holding it.

Seeing this, Kajia could only sigh silently. It seemed that she could only look at the current situation, and she really couldn't bear it.

And all she could do was to restrain morale as much as possible.

.

That night, Herme and the others settled down near a large village, which was already very close to Cheveny, and there were still about three days' journey to get there.

The village is called Granary Village because of the large barn in the village.

And like other villages, the original residents here have disappeared.

As for the mouse holes in the village, they were naturally blown up by Hemei, so they couldn't be kept.

And the barn was sealed up after being inspected, because for some reason, everyone staying inside felt inexplicable horror, but they couldn't find out where the problem was.

So Herme simply sealed up the barn, and he planned to burn it down. The creepy feeling was really strange. Something must have happened inside.

Although Herme always believed that the behavior of worshipers of the Eternal Flame was superstitious, but there was nothing wrong with the Eternal Flame.

That is, fire can purify evil. In most cases, when you really don't know how to deal with some dirty things, there is nothing wrong with using fire directly.

As always, the soldiers were unwilling to live in the village.

So they camped outside the village, surrounded by horse-drawn carriages, and guarded against all possible enemies.

There is no need for Herme to supervise this. This weird atmosphere where the enemy has never been seen makes the soldiers try their best to improve their defense and vigilance.

In his tent, Herme sat wearily on the marching chair.

All kinds of news flooded his mind, which only made him feel tired, but he still had to analyze and think about it, which made him unable to sleep even though he felt tired.

In fact, when no one was in private, Hemei still regretted stepping into this land hastily, and the feeling of emptiness also tormented him.

Because I am not afraid of many enemies, but I am afraid of not knowing what is going on.

Herme came here and had some recollection of what those ratmen were playing. They were using this method to create psychological pressure on all troops entering Ward's territory.

The advantage of this method is that while creating pressure on humans, they can freely choose the time to attack, and the initiative is with them.

But here, you can only move on.

If he retreated without seeing the enemy, all the reputation that Hemei had accumulated in the Cossack land over the past few years would be destroyed.

The Cossack would not support a deserter, and his own territory might be in trouble at that time, so he could not accept this choice.

At the very least, they had to fight the so-called Ratmen who attacked this land.

Herme rubbed his temples, and he could only hope that the situation would get better tomorrow, so that he could discover those damned enemies as soon as possible.

And just when he was about to go to bed to see if he could fall asleep, there was a noise outside the tent,

"...I want to see Commander Herme. I have something very important to report to him. It is very important. This matter cannot be delayed..."

Herme knew the voice, it belonged to the demon hunter Iben, and it was he who brought the news of Ward before.

This voice immediately revived him. Did the demon hunter find something in such a hurry to find him?
Herme has always attached great importance to the opinions of experts like demon hunters. When facing monsters, it is best to listen to them.

Thinking like this, Herme hurried out of the tent, and then saw Iben communicating with his guards.

Seeing Hermi appear, the guard quickly retreated and stood aside.

And Eben respectfully bowed to Herme to show his respect.

"So, Master Witcher, what have you found?"

Facing Herme's question, Iben first bowed respectfully,
"Commander Herme, please follow me. I found something very interesting in that barn."

Seeing that Eben had said this, there was no reason for Herme not to follow, so he immediately let the witcher lead the way and came to the barn.

In the dark night, the barn is entrenched there like a monster, and it looks terrifying from a distance.

But now there were more than a dozen soldiers standing near the barn, and the torches in their hands dispelled a lot of darkness, making the barn less scary.

Homer saw that Jerry was already in front of the wide-open barn door, he nodded to Homer, and then told Homer that the people here were all his cronies, and no one else knew what was going on here.

The commander is very satisfied with this. This witcher is still very tight-fisted in his work. He knows to find Jerry, and Jerry also knows to arrange cronies. He knows that he has discovered some things and tried to control the news as much as possible.

Beside Jerry, there were a few soldiers squatting on the ground observing something.

"Commander, look."

Following Eben's wave, several soldiers walked inside with torches, further illuminating the barn.

When entering the barn, Herme felt that creepy feeling again.

This feeling was especially obvious in the dark, but after the flames dispelled the darkness, the feeling was much relieved, which made him feel better.

Next, Herme was able to see clearly what was on the ground.

It was a huge magic circle constructed by some kind of black liquid, and the lines and geometric figures formed a huge existence that was ingenious and constantly connected.

There are also weird decorations all over it, and this thing also exudes a sense of fear and weirdness.

Herme also felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, this black, the black energy that appeared when El Dann was wiped out, was similar to this thing...

"Commander Herme, during the day, I had doubts about the barn, but it was difficult for me to conduct further investigations due to the large number of people, so I only worked hard this night. And this is what I discovered tonight, so I We used some methods belonging to us demon hunters to make this invisible thing appear. However, if it is a demon hunter of other schools, they may not recognize this thing, but for us manticore school Said, this thing has never been unfamiliar."

When mentioning this thing on the ground, Iben's tone was not much about showing off his knowledge, but more of an exclamation, as well as vigilance and attention.

"This magic circle is in the style of Niya believers. In the West, you should be more familiar with its other name, which is Lilit. In Serikania, this cult has increasingly penetrated into the ruling class of the country that worships giant dragons. , our Manticore School has solved the problems brought by these people, and sometimes we will face some extremely disgusting things, and only they can create such things. And the magic circle here, I am not mistaken , the effect should be some kind of transformation, such as turning people into beasts..."

"Wait, people turned into beasts? What do you mean?"

Hearing what Eben said, Herme suddenly understood what he meant, and looked at Eben.

But Eben nodded, expressing affirmation, yes, he meant exactly what Herme thought of.

Herme thought of the sudden appearance of the Rat Man, the characteristic of the Rat Man that could infect humans, and the deserted villages...

This is connected in series, and Herme figured out some things, but he also felt something strange.

"If Lilit believers are transforming rat people, why don't they do it themselves? I remember you said that the grown rat people can infect humans, so why don't these rats do it themselves? According to the existing Information reasoning, before the Ratmen did some tricks to covertly expand the group, but now they have begun to sweep the territory, why do they do this? Can’t they do it by themselves?”

Herme's questions were like a cannonball. He felt that his head was getting bigger. Why were there more questions, but the fog was getting bigger and bigger.

"I also feel very strange. If Master George was here, he should be able to say more things. He is the only one of the four of us who has experience in dealing with ratmen. His qualifications are older than us."

Eben rubbed his chin and said, his face was also full of confusion, all of which made him not sure what was going on here,

"When I was in Sazarburg, I checked a few books I brought with me. This is the 'encyclopedia' left by the predecessors of our school. It contains more detailed records of the Rat Man. Back then we knew that the Rat Man was gone. I just flipped through it briefly, and compared the books and found a lot of doubts about these rat people. First of all, the rat people are very repulsive to mice, they are not a species, but we see these rat people mixed with mice, and also Those rats were controlled by that strange female monster together, which doesn’t match the records. And the appearance of these rat people also doesn’t match, according to the records of our predecessors, the rat people—especially those created by the curse infection The Ratman—the appearance should be more or less human, but all we saw were big upright rats, and there was no human appearance.”

Both of them became silent. There are too many problems here, and it is too confusing.

"It's already a very complicated mess, and such a group of people are involved, and there are so many problems, ah, what a damn thing."

Rubbing her head, Herme felt the pressure on her shoulders increase again.

Lilit believers, how come this group of people are still involved.

Ratman, Lilit, these two things are top-level troubles, but they appear one after another.

If things go on like this, Herme suspects that it won't be surprising when believers of the lion-headed spider (the evil god with the same name as Lilit) pop up in her territory, forming a large gathering of demons and ghosts.

Not to mention, there are a series of doubts in it, which is really confusing.

"Don't spread the news here, and then burn this place tomorrow, especially the magic circle on the ground. It must be dealt with first. Use the fire oil I brought."

Sighing, Herme said, it's better not to leak out such news of increased instability.

Eben and everyone present agreed, and everyone here understands the importance of the matter.

The witcher had already considered this point when he was looking for someone, so the first thing he asked for was Jerry. Jerry had always been known for his prudence in Fort Sazar.

And after the demon hunter explained the situation, Jerry found some tight-lipped subordinates, all of whom were his cronies. After confirming that there was a problem here, he immediately sealed off the surrounding area and did not allow anyone else to enter.

In the end, after confirming that the situation was under control and the problem was discovered, they went to Herme.

But at this moment, Herme heard a hoarse voice from outside the barn,

"The Great God Cliff has appeared, and the Great God Cliff is sending down his punishment!"

Herme walked out of the barn, and then saw the lunatic who was taken in by him ran out at some point.

Now he is running wildly in the open space in front of the barn, and he is muttering such words in his mouth, and his eyes have all turned white, looking extremely enigmatic.

"Why is he making trouble again, get him away quickly, don't let him make trouble anymore!"

Herme's tone was a little annoyed, because he was afraid that the lunatic would make a big fuss, and then attract the crowd to see the things in the barn.

It's just that just as he finished speaking, as if to prove the lunatic's words, thunder suddenly flashed across the sky, lighting up the night sky for a short time.

Everyone was intimidated by this scene, and in connection with what this guy said just now, everyone couldn't help but suspect that he really saw something.

But from Herme's point of view, this was just a coincidence.

But at the moment when he was about to call out to the soldiers to catch the lunatic, the sky was pierced by thunderbolts again, as if Cliff was casting thunderbolts.

"This is not ordinary lightning, I feel some kind of huge energy being mobilized."

Eben looked at the sky and said, as demon hunters, they are naturally extremely sensitive to such energy.

And Herme believed his words, because he saw the thunderbolt falling on the ground in the distance, stirring up a thunderstorm.

"There's a fight going on over there."

Relying on the short-lived light when the lightning fell, Herme somehow suddenly saw a battle breaking out on a hilltop on the horizon, and she clearly felt that it only took a few hours to get there.

Moreover, he also saw a figure holding a flag in one hand and a stick in the other in the thunder and lightning.

Seeing this figure, Herme remembered someone...

"I must go right away!"

Hemei said categorically, after walking on this land for so long, I finally saw friendly troops and enemies, so I had to join them right away.

You have to help the friendly army to defeat the enemy immediately, and then go to understand the situation.

And that figure... that should be the person Herme was looking for.

"Gather the troops! Gather the troops."

After explaining some things to Jerry, he hurriedly rode on the horse brought by the guards, and Hemei ran to the barracks, so the troops must move quickly!
But in fact, there was no need for Herme to shout. Under the continuous thunder, everyone in the camp had already woken up, and they all looked in fear at the sky that was constantly pierced by lightning.

At the same time, they are also arming themselves, because in many people's eyes, this is the harbinger of war.

From their point of view, this is exactly what Cliff is using his divine power-and what they think is almost the same as the truth.

"Herme, what's going on?"

The first thing Hemi met was Katya who was fully dressed. She asked Hemi what was going on.

Herme could tell that the eldest lady was also a little flustered, but she controlled the panic very well.

There was no tremor in his words when he asked Herme, and his expression was still so cold and steady.

But in her eyes, Herme could see that her emotions were not as calm as they appeared on the surface.

"We are going to war, Katya, gather all your men who can ride horses, and wait for my order."

"it is good."

Neither Herme nor Katya said much, and Katya didn't intend to continue asking.

Because as far as the current situation is concerned, an order is enough, instead of continuing to wait helplessly, that would create anxiety instead.

"Come here, everyone! Come here, everyone with horses! We are going to join the battle soon! Don't panic the infantry, stay where you are, and someone will take care of you!"

Herme roared in the camp at the top of his voice, calling all the cavalry to come to him.

As for the infantry, just stay where you are, and someone will take care of you later, and Jerry will come back and take care of them.

Herme's words had a strong effect. The Salzburg militiamen respected Herme, so they naturally obeyed his orders subconsciously. The cavalry drew closer, while the infantry waited in place.

"Eben, my God, what's going on?"

In the barracks, where groups of soldiers came and went, Dandelion finally saw the demon hunter who had been with him all the time, and the demon hunter came back to get his weapons and equipment.

"Dandrian, stay in the camp, there will be a hard battle later, and I can't guarantee whether I can come back."

Eben said in an extremely ordinary tone, as if it was a normal thing for him to risk his life.

.

The team from Sazarburg was moving forward in the dark, heading for the target point.

Although it was dark, they were not afraid, because the continuous lightning pointed out the direction for everyone, letting them know where they should go.

However, Herme has always been puzzled, that is, the place hit by lightning is obviously beyond the horizon of where he is, but why can he directly see there?

But this dissonance did not stop him from going where the lightning and thunder struck.

Because he could feel that there was some kind of positive and majestic power in the thunder and lightning. This power was so reassuring and inspired people to fight.

It was this kind of power that drove him forward. There is no doubt that Cliff probably meant it here.

Herme and the others walked for several hours, but the interesting thing is that they didn't feel tired all the way, but were always full of energy.

As they got closer to their destination, various voices became louder.

It was the overwhelming squeaks of rats, the battle roars of humans, the sounds of killing and fighting.

The first to be bumped into by Hemei and the others was a group of ratmen running towards the battlefield.

Most of these ratmen are wrapped in rough wooden armor, with ugly iron weapons in their hands.

God knows how they came up with these twisted warblades, which are still full of rust. It seems that this is a proper tetanus blade. If it is cut, it will be over without the magical healing of the warlock.

However, under the continuous cover of the thunder in the sky, the Ratmen did not find where Herme and the others were, and they were still busy attacking the defending humans.

After the initial surprise, Herme and Katya looked at each other, and then they made the same decision.

That is to get rid of these ugly big rats.

The cavalry of the Cossacks and Fort Sazar, led by their leader, let out battle howls, and then crashed into the formation of the Ratmen.

This team of ratmen was completely caught off guard, and many ratmen were knocked into the air in an instant, and more ratmen were trampled under the hooves of the horses, as if they were crushed.

Homer picked up a rat man and flew it up. The feeling of stabbing the mouse made Herme feel weird.

The Ratman's skin felt almost as hard as leather, but it was only to this extent, and it still couldn't stop Herme's stabbing.

After picking up another squirrel, the lance broke, but this did not stop Herme from continuing to fight. The next moment, Herme pulled out the scimitar from her waist.

This former elf king's saber was as smooth as a hot knife cutting butter on the Ratman.

Hemei just waved it lightly, and the heads of three ratmen were chopped off by him, and then rolled on the ground.

This made Herme sigh inwardly how powerful this weapon was, how easy it was to kill the Ratmen.

But it's not all because of the sharpness and strength of the weapon itself, and because there is a kind of metal in the alloy of the scimitar.

This metal is silver, and this metal has a miraculous effect on the ratmen.

Weapons made of silver are very effective against cursed creatures like the ratmen.

It's just that such weapons are really expensive. Even Herme, after learning about the situation from the demon hunter, only equipped seven or eight swords mixed with silver and dozens of silver spear heads for his subordinates. .

It is really convenient to chop the Ratman with a weapon containing silver. Originally, the skin of the Ratman was like cutting leather with an ordinary sword, but after the silver was applied, it was like a piece of paper.

Under the attack of Hemei and his party, these ratmen quickly began to flee. They threw down their weapons, screamed and fled in embarrassment, covering their heads like rats.

The ratmen ran very fast, and in just a short moment, they disappeared into the darkness and fled in all directions.

"This is really a hearty battle."

Hemei said after beheading the last two slow-moving ratmen with a scimitar, his tone was full of emotion.

This was the first time he was in such a battle formation like this, and it was the first time he rode his horse into the formation, and watching the rats collapse in front of him, the feeling was really good.

After watching the Ratman escape, Herme raised his head and looked further ahead.

Under Cliff's thunder and the slightly brighter sky, he could clearly see the scene ahead, which made Herme subconsciously hold his breath.

First of all, what Herme saw was a dense swarm of rats, like a wave of black and gray, attacking the human defense line on the hillside.

The waves came one after another, but they all smashed on the reef.

Occasionally a thunderbolt fell among the rats, killing many of them and turning them into charred coals.

At this time, there will be commotion among the rats, but this commotion only lasted for a while, and then calm down, because the moon is still in the sky.

And then, the mice continued to come forward one after another, showing no fear.

What they besieged was a hill covered with horses, and layers of horses formed the defense line of the hill.

The Cossacks persisted in fighting in it, preventing the Ratmen from advancing one iota.

Some of the ratmen's corpses were scattered all over the horses, crumbling under the weight of those corpses, as if they would be crushed in the next moment, and many ratmen were rushing up continuously.

What Herme didn't know was that during the previous attacks, the Ratman had indeed used this method to destroy several lines of defense of the defenders.

They paid a lot of rat lives for this, but the decision makers of the Rat Man obviously didn't care, they continued to drive the Rat Man up to die.

And the Ratmen couldn't run even if they wanted to, because there were groups of their own race behind them, and all they could think about was to keep going forward.

The Cossacks above guarded their line of defense desperately with swords and bows. The Ratmen were constantly killed by them mercilessly, and the Cliff Thunder that continued to flash across the sky boosted their morale.

The defender felt like he was in some kind of legend, fighting against human enemies in the thunder and lightning. This feeling is really great, and he must be a part of the song of heroes.

So their morale is still strong, and they are still full of thoughts of fighting these rats to the death.

Flying above the Cossack's head was a banner of lightning. Amongst the thunder, this lightning was so eye-catching.

Whether it is a Cossack or a Sazaburg, they are no strangers to this thing, because it is Cliff's divine emblem.

This banner is now being held by a priest with Clive's Lightning Banner in one hand and a mace in the other, who is fighting on the front lines alongside the common Cossacks.

Seeing this scene from a distance, Herme knew that this was the person she was looking for, High Priest Rastit of Cliff.

Back then when he was fighting the Haklans, Rastite's attitude left a deep impression on Herme, so when he saw this scene again, he immediately remembered it.

Raskit was busy smashing the heads of the ratmen one by one, and those ratmen were queuing up to die in front of him.

But under the encouragement of the moon in the sky, the Ratmen still charged continuously, as if they were not heading towards death.

Only when they realize that death has come, will their heads, drunk with the full moon, wake up.

It's just that it was too late at this time, death had already appeared in front of them, and everything was already too late at that time.

Raskit's face was full of madness, reminding Herme of the berserker mentioned in the song of the hero.

And the same is true of the Cossacks who followed him.

Subconsciously, this made Herme rejoice that that figure was not the enemy she had to face. Fighting against such a guy was troublesome even thinking about it.

Hemei also noticed that beside Rastite, there was a group of warriors in blue robes and holding maces. They all fought as bravely as Rastite.

It was difficult for the Ratmen to break through the defense line, but there were enough of them. The Ratmen in front of them were obviously planning to kill the defenders with numbers.

And this choice is also correct. For the Ratmen, using numbers to kill humans is undoubtedly the most correct choice. No matter how hard the reef is, it will also have problems under the baptism of continuous waves.

But what the Ratmen didn't expect was that a human army came behind them, and what was terrible was that they hadn't noticed the existence of this army at all.

The previous battle did not make the Ratmen notice the enemies behind them. The thunder in the sky was so loud, and the continuous Ratman troops on the ground were being wiped out.

How could the Ratman commander care about the destruction of a small army, and the information could not be conveyed in such a short time.

"The crucial blow is about to be struck, are you ready? Katya."

Hermi looked at the young lady who came to her side at some point.

Katya's scimitar was covered with blood. She also fought on the front line just now, and the result was no less than that of Hemei, but her scimitar was also useless because of this, and now she replaced it with a new one.

"of course."

Katya replied coldly, completely in her usual style.

Behind them, the cavalry from Fort Sazar had already lined up.

.

For the rats, today is an exciting day for them.

Because today, after so long of chasing and consuming, they finally blocked the guy who disgusted "mother".

During this time, all the Ratmen used to deal with the human reinforcements were blocking this old guy.

Although the old man and his subordinates have set up layers of defenses, all the rats firmly believe that it is only a matter of time before they are resolved. There are only a few hundred people around that guy, but they have thousands of rats.

Even with the help of those nasty thunderbolts, it still doesn't affect the Ratmen's attack. Those thunderbolts can't cause any large-scale damage, and they can't deter this huge army at all.

But at this time, some Ratmen heard the sound of trampling horseshoes coming from behind them. There were quite a few of them, and they were getting closer and closer.

The Ratmen in the back row and on the edge naturally noticed something was wrong. They were the first to notice the movement behind them. The brains of these guys who had not been dazzled by the moon and the full moon made them realize that something was wrong.

When they turned their mouse heads and looked at the darkness behind them, there was another shocking thunder, and through the thunder, these mice saw what was rushing.

Those are human cavalry.

Humans are driving those four-hoofed beasts to rush towards them. This is the scene that the Ratman fears the most. They have experienced the power of human cavalry.

These rats uttered sharp cries, trying to arouse the vigilance of their fellow clansmen, but unfortunately their cries were ignored.

Their fighting brethren didn't care and couldn't hear the cries.

The heads of the Ratmen in front of them were completely insane due to the full moon, and they only had forward impact and forward impact in their eyes.

Therefore, the human cavalry rushed in straight, and the ratmen failed to make any countermeasures.

.

Herme swung the scimitar again, and then several ratman heads flew into the sky, as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

Damn, this thing is really easy to use.

Homer's cavalry were now raging among the rats, advancing like a tide washing a beach.

Although the Ratmen are almost as tall as adults, they are all stooped, so it is very easy for war horses to gallop among them.

Cutting off the heads of some ratmen with a machete, and smashing the backbone of the ratmen with horseshoes, this kind of war experience is really cool.

The feeling of defeating the Ratman team just now is nothing compared to now.

And the same is true for other people. This feeling of riding a horse on the enemy is so good, so good, it is really fascinating.

In this way, Herme's cavalry team of a hundred men criss-crossed among the rat crowd that was dozens of times larger than theirs.

Those Ratmen who were crazy because of the battle under the full moon finally woke up in the blood of their own race, but it was too late.

The Rat Man's formation has been completely broken, and the human cavalry has completely disrupted his formation. It can be said that the Rat Man has lost the ability to fight back.

And on the other side, those human defenders who had been losing their line of defense under the siege also started to fight back. They bravely stepped out of the offensive, killed the rats in front of them, and then pursued further.

The collapse of the Ratman was inevitable.

Although the full moon prevented the Ratmen from having the idea of ​​fleeing, under such reverse killings, it was only a matter of time.

The wailing and terror of the rats kept ringing out. There is no doubt that now the rats have become the one whose failure is only a matter of time. The battlefield has reversed. The one who was about to succeed has now become a loser.

.

Iben, the demon hunter of the Manticore school, was running on the battlefield, but he was not just for killing, he was looking for the commander of the ratmen.

However, this did not affect him killing the Ratmen all the way. Many Ratmen fell under his silver-containing scimitar along the way.

After reviewing the materials that he had skipped hastily back then, Eben knew that the Ratman society was a strongly class-based society, and class-based society was implemented in their society.

Although there are many differences between these Ratmen and the records of their predecessors, as far as Ibn saw, this point still exists.

With such a large-scale gathering of ratmen, there must be a senior ratman (or native ratman) commanding behind them. As long as that commander is removed, the ratmen will definitely collapse.

And in a further direction, every native ratman must be killed as much as possible.

Because it is mentioned in the book that the Ratmen who lost their original leadership will easily degenerate into pure beasts, so it will be much easier to solve the Ratman problem, and then they will become purely hunting monsters.

Eben scanned the battlefield, and he saw the Ratman fleeing under the pursuit of the cavalry.

He saw that the Cossack infantry were excitedly nailing the Ratmen to the ground.

He saw Herme commanding the cavalry to attack all the ratmen who might gather again.

Humanity is constantly victorious, but it is a pity that this does not help Eben much now, but makes the information he obtains more chaotic.

The demon hunter heard a lot of information, and Iben was busy analyzing the information, looking for the guy he needed.

Finally, Eben found it, but he also found that the target he was looking for was coming towards him, and it was coming at a very fast speed.

Subconsciously, Iben threw a bomb in front of him. When the bomb exploded, he jumped off his horse, and then ran away as fast as he could.

And this is correct, because in the next moment, the war horse was torn apart, literally torn apart.

A huge rat man appeared in front of Eben. The guy was five meters tall and covered with various sutures, looking very terrifying.

His body was still covered with blood and various body parts, which showed how many people this guy had killed.

Eben knew that this was probably the target he was looking for.
Very simply, Iben turned over and came under that guy, and then the demon hunter used unimaginable movements to hit the ratman's strapped feet like crazy, until there was blood everywhere. Crossflow.

The giant rat man roared angrily, and then punched it down, but Eben rolled over, and the rat man smashed into nothing.

After releasing the Sign of Igni, an explosion suddenly occurred around the giant rat man, because what Iben threw was a Dragon's Dream bomb, and the gas that floated out after the explosion was poisonous and explosive.

The giant rat man was obviously caught off guard, and he slapped his body in embarrassment, as if he wanted to extinguish the flames.

And at this moment, a knight came with a spear, and the spear hit the right shoulder of the giant rat man, piercing through the entire shoulder.

The Ratman wailed again, the spear was not a normal spear, but a silver spear.

This spear was carried by Viator. As a servant, his important duty was to carry the master's spare weapon and hand it over when the master needed it.

And it was none other than the commander-in-chief of this army, the Earl of Sazarburg, who did this scene.

After leaving the spear on the Rat Man, Herme took out a small crossbow from the saddle, loaded it with silver bolts, and shot at the giant Rat Man.

The giant rat man wanted to tear the human into pieces, and the pain that Silver caused him was too great.

But then he discovered that this was not the worst, because at some point, a group of humans had put a rope on him, and then they suddenly exerted force, and the giant fell to the ground.

Eben seized this opportunity and came to the rat man in three steps at a time. Then, his scimitar and silver sword ruthlessly broke the rat man's neck.
