The encounter of his companions made the morale of the knights who saw all this drop to the bottom almost in an instant. If it had not been for the discipline and the glory of knighthood, these poor men would have fled.

    "Shrink the formation!"

    Heather also knew that this situation must improve the Knights'' sense of security. She decided to give up part of the peripheral area and let the team contract more closely. In this way, not only can we deal with the enemy''s attack more quickly, but also can make the soldiers feel at ease and help stabilize the morale of the troops.

    "He is good at collective action, knows how to intimidate the enemy, and can make use of environmental advantages..." Cheese murmured in a low voice. In the eyes of others, that moment might be just a horrible and frightening picture, but the mage tried to collect the enemy''s intelligence from this blood lesson.

    The shrunk formation is more compact than before, and since the fighters are not on the edge of the fire, those native rat people who want to launch an attack will definitely expose themselves to the fire. Once they lose their suddenness, the Knights whose mood has been stabilized have a high probability of counterattack. However, it seems that they are aware that the situation is not conducive to themselves, and that the native rat people did not attack the people in the fire. The two sides seem to be in such a confrontation.

    Just as everyone was waiting for the rat man''s second attack, Heather suddenly thought of something, and the matron exclaimed.

    "No! War horse

    Originally, in order to control the scale of the camp, the knights had to tie their mounts to the nearby open space. Although they also planted torches near the horses when night fell, the horses were undoubtedly the best targets for these rodents when they were unable to attack humans. As if to confirm Heather''s exclamation, the light from the torches near the horses was extinguished by a gust of air like a candle in the strong wind. The neighing of the horses, the strange roar, the trampling of the hooves, and all kinds of chaotic sounds began to come from the darkness. It is not necessary to know that the horses must have been attacked by the native rat people.

    "Team one two three with torches and come with me!"

    With a torch in his hand, heatherty speared in the direction of the horse. If we say that the loss of a knight before was due to an unexpected loss caused by a stranger to the opponent, but the matron knew that once she lost her mount here, let alone find out the source of the plague, it would be very difficult even to get out of the Earl''s command. These horses must not fall into the hands of the rat.

    Fortunately, the Knights of the hammers are an experienced army after all. Although the Knights still fear the unknown enemies, the order of the Knight Commander still makes them act. The three teams of fifteen Knights lit their spare torches and followed Heather into the dark. The rest of the Knights quickly replaced their gap and protected the campfire in the middle of the camp, which was the only support for the people in the dark.

    As Heather and his knights rushed to the horses, the sound of the horses soon quieted down. In addition to the sound of the horses and the trampling of their hooves, the rat men once again hid in the dark. The Knights soon got to the mount. Fortunately, perhaps the rat man was not good at dealing with large animals such as horses, which were not hurt except by fright. They really didn''t get any harm, like It''s like no one wants to hurt these horses at all.

    "No! It''s a trap Almost at the moment of confirming the extent of the horse''s injury, Heather realized what the native rat people were up to. But it''s too late.

    A sudden attack from the dark comes from the opposite side of the camp to the horse. Like large fleas, these native rat people suddenly jump to the top of the target from the darkness in the distance. The black shadow not only threatens the opponent, but also blocks the opponent''s vision, making him unable to see other rat people approaching from the ground.

    "Enemy attack Eh... " The first knight who was attacked tried to cut down the rat man who was approaching from his head with his sword at the same time. However, his sword was only half waved. A cold shock came from his chest. The knight lowered his head and looked at the wooden tenon inserted into his chest. His eyes were full of confusion.

    "Hell, be careful! These guys throw spears Jack, who lives in the middle of the team, can see the wood penetrating the knight''s body at a glance. Theoretically, no matter how people throw it, the wooden tenon can''t pierce the armor, but this scene just happened, which only shows that the arm strength of the original rat people is far beyond the scope of common knowledge.

    After hearing the warning, the Knights immediately changed their tactics. They gave up holding swords with both hands and took one hand Knight shield from behind. Their swordsmanship changed from the pursuit of large slashing to defensive stabbing and hitting the enemy with shields. In this way, they had more energy to guard against the wooden spears thrown from the dark.

    Different from the previous trial, this time the protozoans seem to be trying to use Heather''s absence to quickly kill the humans around the campfire. These monsters are totally cowardly, whistling and attacking the defending warriors with their fangs and claws.

    "No, there are too many of these guys!" Using a long bow to separate the rat''s paws, everyone can feel that the number of murans entering the battlefield is far greater than previously estimated."Good fellow, these monsters have been calculating us from the beginning!" One axe split a rat man''s head. Mona didn''t care whether these guys still had the possibility of being cured. This battle has become a complete bloody battle. The human side must keep the campfire under the attack of unknown number of rat men, and there is no possibility of escaping.

    Elsa kicked out the mousman who fell on the cheese. She glanced back at the cheese that was half kneeling on the ground. The landlady just hoped that Hahn had not stayed in the camp in sweet water. Finally, with the last syllable in cheese''s mouth, the mage''s eyes burst into a strong dark green light. As soon as he raised his head, countless vines came out of the ground with his eyes, firmly binding the feet of the rat people who just stood on the ground. Once again, the mage''s magic had a marvelous effect. Those native rat people could not understand why their feet were caught by vines. Naturally, the experienced knights would not miss this opportunity. In a moment, no less than ten rat people were killed.

    "Squeak!" The shrill scream came from Heather and their direction. The female Knight Commander who had been caught in the scheme of luring the tiger away from the mountain finally did not care so much. She was already on her horse, and the Knight Sword in her hand was carrying anger to kill the rat people outside the camp one by one. The rest of the Knights did the same. With the weight and speed of their horses, they charged at the edge of the fire, smashing the rat people who didn''t have time to react.

    Seeing that the battlefield situation seemed to return to the human side, there was a sharp cry in the dark, followed by the sound of breaking the sky.

    "Watch your spear!" Once again, Jack''s vision saw the enemy''s intention ahead of time. With his warning, the Knights put their shields in front of them to defend against the mortise and tenon from the rat man.

    However, it turns out that although knights can defend their wooden spears with their shields, the horses they sit on are not. The armour and stomach removed in order to recover their horsepower have not yet been put on the horses. These horses with huge targets have become the best targets for spearmen.

    "Poof!" With a dull sound, the horses shot by the wooden spear fell down, and the knights on their backs fell down. In addition to a small number of strong Knights jumping off the horse in advance, most of the knights were under the pressure of their own horses, and even crushed the leg bones directly.

    "Rescue the wounded!" Heather successfully avoided the attack of the wooden spear with her superb skill, but the fifteen knights were not so lucky. With her glance, at least six or seven knights were crushed by their own mounts and could not move. At this time, the huge and heavy body of the horse becomes a burden. If you want to lift the horse, you need at least two people to cooperate, and a third person will drag the wounded out of the horse. During this period, four people including the wounded can not defend against the enemy''s attack. For a moment, the human side once again fell into a passive position.
