A mage is a kind of existence that makes people feel uncomfortable, whether as an opponent or as a teammate. This is what Heather heard from an old knight when he was a knight''s retinue.

    Many years ago, Cangshi empire once participated in the war against the twilight moon cult. In the catastrophe that swept almost the whole human world, the number of casters was far more than that of today. The original mysterious occult masters also fought and died like ordinary soldiers in the war. It can be said that human countries can treat casters with a relatively peaceful attitude In that war, the friendship and understanding of fighting side by side as a united front played a crucial role. The old knight commander was one of the survivors of the war. According to his own account, he went with the mage who could control the weather and drive the dragon. He also killed the casters who could smash the city-state with one person''s power. His understanding of these casters is far beyond ordinary people.

    In the description of the old man, when the mage is in his own camp, he is generally recognized as crow''s mouth. His casual words may point out the impending danger. After experiencing it in person, no one will ignore the warning from the caster. But at the same time, although the mages are good at predicting the impending danger, even they themselves are often unable to determine when and how the danger will happen. Therefore, their words often bring the whole army on guard for several days.

    Now Heather feels that way. The matron attached great importance to the warning of cheese. However, although the mage himself said that he should guard against the attack of native rat people, he did not say how many rat people would arrive at that time of night. Therefore, this sentence of cheese brought about the result that all the people in the camp could not rest assured. Whether it is the hammer knight or the frost guard, everyone is holding his own weapon waiting for the arrival of the enemy, this waiting is undoubtedly a kind of suffering. The high tension of nerves makes the cavalry who is in charge of sentry often give false warnings. In fact, although it was only three hours into the night, five false alarms had appeared throughout the camp. Heather had to reduce the guard''s sentry time, but the more frequent alternation of guards meant a larger blind area of vision. Although the female knight was well aware of the taboo of marching, she was powerless in the face of the current special situation.

    Finally, in the fifth hour of the night, the sentry finally sounded the right alarm. Looking at the flashing green eyes near the camp, Heather felt relieved.

    "There are ten in all, but it''s not sure if more are coming." The knight said to the mage who came to him.

    "The fire and the smell of people are bound to attract them. These protozoan rodents are thoroughly carnivores, and they may have been starving for a long time." The cheese nodded. Although he could see the green eyes, the mage could not get the exact location of the rat men. He had to wait for the hungry meat eaters to enter the range of the fire to deal with it.

    "Why don''t they rush up yet?" Elsa frowned suspiciously.

    "Experienced beasts take a wait-and-see attitude towards people, and they need to determine our threat. Don''t underestimate the wisdom of wild animals, not to mention, they used to be human beings. " "Monkey" explained in a low voice that he was one of the few people who could see the rat people moving in the dark.

    "Don''t think of them as simple animals. Although they are no longer human beings, they still have the ability to think." The master corrected. He has paid a price in this respect. What''s more, Gloria only attacked a few livestock at that time. Her hand was totally based on instinct. First of all, what kind of performance would the native rat people who grew up in a more free environment would behave? Let alone these soldiers. Even the mage himself did not dare to speculate.

    Cheese''s words make all people''s minds nervous. It''s true that if these native rat people are just beasts with physical qualities, it''s not enough to be afraid. But if they can still think like human beings, they don''t have to be like normal people. As long as they have intelligence of about 10 years old, they can become extremely dangerous.

    "Here they are The crowd screamed, and the green eyes around them began to approach the campfire.

    "All of you, line up, get ready to fight!" In such an environment, the knights could not mount their mounts and rush into the darkness to kill the enemy. They had to give up their best fighting methods and formed a small team of five people according to Heather''s instructions to defend around the camp.

    "Hiss..." As the enemy approached, the sound of seesaw began to appear. These native rat people seemed to be talking in unknown language. They looked around the camp, did not rush to attack, and seemed to be looking for the weakness of their prey.

    If it is just creepy to look at the green light spots in the dark before, then surrounded by these deformed monsters in the only fire light, a section of twisted body will flash out from time to time in the darkness in front of them, which has different pressure on people. As the staff officer of the blood lion once said, these soldiers who are accustomed to fighting may be more afraid of this kind of spiritual oppression than fighting the enemy head-on. Soon, some people become crazy because they are too nervous.

    "Ah A knight suddenly roared out of the line of defense and slashed at the dim shadow in front of him. Of course, he did nothing. However, the knight, who had been greatly nervous by those disturbing voices, had no intention of returning to his comrades. He waved the Knight Sword wildly in the dark, as if he were fighting with the invisible enemy. And the Cavaliers and his team mates were also frightened by his sudden move. They stood on the edge of the fire and didn''t know what to do next."Damn it, get him back!" Heather brought out the team of knights are carefully selected, each of them is a valuable asset of the hammer order, as the Knight Commander, Heather can not tolerate his subordinates have not seen the enemy''s body so inexplicably lost.

    The knights who got the order were brave enough to get the straggler back, but just as they were about to get out of the fire, Jack suddenly roared.

    "Don''t go there!"

    Almost at the same time that "monkey" uttered this sentence, a frightening scream came from the direction of the detachment knight. The nearby Knights quickly lit torches, and they saw a frightening scene.

    Several terror creatures with rough human appearance but similar to mice attacked the poor knight from different directions. His knight sword had fallen to the ground because of the bite on his hand. Not only his arm, but also four or five primitive rat people had attacked his limbs and trunk at the moment when he lost the ability to wield weapons. They use sharp arms, or forepaws, to insert into the gaps in the armor, tear the knight''s armor with unimaginable force along the gap between the armor pieces, and then use their sharp teeth to wantonly destroy the knight''s fragile physical tissue.

    Flesh and blood, perhaps this is the simplest word used to describe this scene. The rat men, apparently aware of the light of the torches, quickly pulled the dying Knight out of the torchlight range and hid in the dark again. And outside the camp, the faint cry and the sound of chewing in the dark also showed the end of the knight.
