Fairy Tail: I don't want to be the president

Chapter 276 Terrible

It was getting dark when we first arrived at the village. After talking with the village chief for a while, it became even darker outside.

Mr. Jasper said he would treat Rod and Mira well, but the two refused and planned to go and see the situation first.

Lightning and Butch, who were in charge of standing guard at the entrance of the village today, had already lit fires around the village.

If you look down from the sky, you can see tiny lights in the small village, and a circle of fire outside.

It looks like the method of survival drawn by Sun Wukong.

And in the darkness at the edge of the fire, pairs of small bright spots almost formed a starry sky.

Lightning and Butch knew that each pair of bright spots represented a mouse, and there were hundreds of them just at the edge of the fire.

The two men swallowed their saliva, hoping that they would still be afraid of fire. If so many rats pounced on them, the two brothers might be doomed today.

In other words, the wolves, strange birds and two wizards around them can give them a little sense of security.

"What an exaggerated number." Mira covered her mouth.

She was not afraid of mice, but it was disgusting to see so many mice gathered together.

"Let's give it a try." Rhodes made a gesture, and the razor-beaked birds flapped their wings and flew up, with hundreds of feather throwing knives flying out.

Zhizhizhi~~~
The rats screamed and scattered into the distance.

The sound of their own kind dying can still frighten them.

But not long after, they slowly gathered back together.

At Rhodes' signal, the Shadow Wolves took a few steps forward and let out menacing growls.

The rats retreated slightly but refused to disperse.

Mira's right hand turned into a demon arm, and a purple-black sphere appeared in the palm of her hand and was thrown out by her.

The fist-sized ball fell into the rat group with a loud bang, and a deep hole with a diameter of more than one meter was blown out on the road.

The ground shook slightly, affecting hundreds of mice, who then scattered in all directions.

Mira frowned, looking dissatisfied.

Rod was ashamed that his girlfriend was also an expert at destroying things. She had easily turned the good road into this state.

Not long after, the rats gathered again, and the highest density was where the bodies of the rats had just died.

Many mice gathered together, with their heads facing inward and their tails facing outward, making a crunching sound.

Lightning and Butch turned pale: "They... are eating the corpses of their own kind!"

For some animals, cannibalism is a habit, while for others, it is due to extreme food scarcity.

This is a very dangerous signal.

If this continues, the rats might overcome their fear of fire and rush into the village.

"Looks like we can't delay any longer." Rhodes sent the wild monsters back to Summoner's Rift, leaving only two river crabs to patrol around the edge of the village.

"Summon, Blue Carved Golem, Crown of Insight."

Many people in the village heard that a wizard had arrived and gathered nearby to check it out. Some people have also been spontaneously guarding the area with farm tools every day recently.

The sudden appearance of the tall golem caused a burst of exclamations.

The village chief quickly asked everyone to step back so as not to affect the wizards.

Rhodes first increased his own endurance, and then reminded: "The thing I am going to summon next may be a little ugly, don't be afraid." After saying that, he looked at Mira again.

Mira smiled gently. She had seen the appearance of the Void Nester before and it was indeed not good-looking.

But Rhode had never disliked her, so how could she dislike his magic?

Three purple monster insects as tall as a person appeared at the entrance of the village.

They had a single horn on their heads, a mouth full of fangs, and purple-red insect eggs on their backs, which frightened the villagers at the first sight of them, and they all retreated away.

Mira stretched out her hands and held Rhode's right hand in her palms: "If you keep them, can the magic power hold up?"

Rhode pointed at the blue light around him and said, "It should be fine to hold on for a few hours, but it will be a bit tiring."

As the two were talking, the eggs on the backs of three Void Nest Worms burst, and 12 worms jumped out and circled around the Worms.

Rhode said to the three nestworms, "Tell them to line up outside the fence and attack any rats that come close...and don't bite the buildings in the village!"

This matter must be carefully reminded. Rhode didn't want to complete a mission successfully and then have to pay compensation.

After explaining all this, he could basically take a break. All Rhodes had to do was act as a ruthless charger, responsible for maintaining the existence of the golems and the hive worms.

As for those little worms, the nest worms themselves collect the free magic power in the air to produce them.

After 12 seconds, another 12 worms were born. They jumped outside the fence, lined up in rows, and stared at the mice in the distance.

The village chief Jasper stepped forward and asked bravely: "Mr. Rhodes... is this what you said..."

"Yes, do you see those little bugs? They can produce 60 per minute, which means 3600 per hour. I plan to start a war with the mice in two and a half hours. What do you think?"

"This..." Jasper calculated that there would be 9000 of them in two and a half hours. Countering quantity with quantity, it seemed like it would work?
Moreover, when that kind of bug is rolled up, it is bigger than a human head, and when it stands up, it can be taller than the knees. It should be more powerful than a mouse, right?

Is the village saved?
"Excuse me, after we eliminate the rats, what should we do with these bugs?"

"They will disappear." Rhodes explained patiently, "They are essentially transformed from magic power in a special way, and will eventually turn back into magic power."

Void Worms are different from Void Broods. When Broods are killed, they will return to Summoner's Rift and wait for refresh, but when worms die, they will dissipate.

"That's good, that's good..." Jasper breathed a sigh of relief, "Then do you need any help from us?"

"Assign some people to guard the village in all directions. If anything goes wrong, tell us immediately."

"Yes! I'll make arrangements right away!"

Jasper's enthusiasm was at an all-time high after realizing there was hope for a solution to the rat problem.

He immediately organized people to stand guard and patrol the surrounding area, and repeatedly warned them not to cause trouble for the wizard.

After listening to the description of the village chief, when the villagers looked at the three nest worms and the worms jumping out in batches, their eyes were no longer filled with fear and disgust, but more like they were looking at some rare treasure.

Mira followed suit: "So what should I do, Mr. Rhodes?"

Rhode thought for a moment and said, "Miss Mira, please bear with it and be my personal bodyguard?"

"Yes~"

"Don't just say yes, come over here quickly."

"..." So close contact is the key? Mira hit him and stretched out her hand: "Bring the ingredients."

The two of them went to buy various foods yesterday. Rod thought they were for backup, but Mira suggested buying some of the food he wanted to eat so that she could cook it for him if they needed to have a picnic on the way.

In the current situation, although the village chief said he would entertain them, Mira bet that this person would rather eat what she cooked.
