With the large number of wooden spears thrown into the camp, the battlefield situation once again rapidly tilted towards the rat man side. After paying a heavy price, the hammer Knights managed to rescue the wounded under their horses, but the horses shot by wooden spears had no choice but to leave them in place. The wounded and uninjured horses were concentrated near the fire, and the people who could move held shields around the fire to form a defense.

    "How many of these guys are there?"

    A sword pierces the oncoming protozoan, and Jack says a question everyone wants to ask. Although it is uncertain how many rodents there are in the dark, judging from the number of wooden spears fired, including the number of native rat humans participating in close combat, the number of these attackers is at least 50, which is a terrible number, because up to now, only 20 protozoans can be confirmed to be killed under the condition that nearly 10 people have been lost nothing more. It seems that the 1:2 war damage ratio is very considerable, especially for the human side, most of them just lose their combat power due to injuries. But don''t forget that more than 30 people present are elite Knights of the hammer order and the best of the frost guards. With such a small team level, we can play such a war damage ratio, especially after several planned attacks The risk of rodents is increasing rapidly.

    "No, there''s something wrong with these protozoans." Since the release of the vine spell, cheese has been forced to protect the rear of the battlefield. Mages who lose the ability to move one arm are too prone to be in danger in the battle field with wooden spears. Neither frost guard nor Heather can take this risk. Thanks to this, the mage once again observed some abnormal things.

    "The only problem with them is that they are too strong and too many!" A wooden tenon was separated by a sword, and even Heather could not help saying.

    "The power of these wooden Spears is not right. The first spear instantly penetrated a soldier in armor. But look at these throwing spears, which can be separated by a light sword block. Their power is too weak!"

    In fact, it doesn''t need to be said by the mage. All the people present could feel this. After all, the sound of the first wooden tenon flying out of the dark was too frightening. If the attack intensity of each spear was as strong as that, the people present would have been shot into hedgehogs. However, it is another thing to understand what it means to understand clearly in the rapidly changing battlefield. Although soldiers who have experienced many battles can quickly insert into the enemy''s weak points by virtue of their combat experience, they want to find out the enemy''s weakness in the first battle and in absolute inferiority on the basis of facing similar opponents Neither Heather nor Mona can do it. But fortunately, cheese can.

    "What do you mean?" The woman soldier asked. She knew that the mage''s next answer would probably change the outcome of the battle.

    "I think there should be a special individual among these primitive Murmans. It is he who leads these rodents to make feint attacks. It is also the first wooden spear that is extremely powerful." The cheese exclaimed.

    "You mean it''s like a bunch of cavemen?" The female Knight''s chief quickly came to think of the cave dwellers who had fought before, and cheese''s conjecture was very likely.

    "But what can I do? The leader is much more cunning than those who only dig holes. " "Monkey" tries to fight back with a bow and arrow, but the darkness outside the fire makes it impossible to know whether it will work or not.

    "By the way, do you still have the kind of stone you used in the cave?" Elsa thought of the lighting methods used by cheese in the cave before. In such an open environment, the lighting range of torch and luminous stone may be larger than that of the former, so no one has ever thought of asking cheese to make that kind of lighting stone again.

    Hearing the landlady''s words, cheese also thought that it was a way to use the Lightstone as a guide sign, so he quickly searched his pocket to find the materials for making the Lightstone.

    "Yes, we can make two more!" The master said, lighting one of the stones with one hand.

    Heather and they had never seen a mage make this kind of lighting tool before, and naturally they didn''t know its use. In her opinion, this kind of luminescent stone is indeed a good lighting device, but it is not enough to expand their current lighting range.

    This problem also baffles cheese and Elsa. Although they have the illuming stone now, if the mage ignites the whole stone at one time like last time, it can light up the surrounding environment, but the strong light will also affect the soldiers on their own side. Even if they find the leading rat man, they can''t kill each other in a short period of time. However, once the enemy has a sense of crisis, the cunning of the opponent will not give the human side a second chance.

    When the situation reached a deadlock again, the mage saw the bow and arrow in Jack''s hand.

    "I''ve come up with a solution!" Exclaimed the cheese.

    "Monkey, Heather, I need your help."

    The two men called by the mage temporarily withdrew from the battle circle, retreated to the mage, and waited for the instructions of cheese.

    "Listen, the phosphorite glows because it burns. I used to heat it in one breath and let it burn out in a very short period of time to give off a strong light. But this time, I''ll try to heat it at a lower temperature. No, maybe it''s better to ignite it Cheese spoke with great speed what neither of them understood."All in all, Heather, I need you to wrap this stone in cloth and throw it into the mound of rat men, and the man in charge of command should be in the closest place where the spear is thrown. Then, Jack, I want you to shoot this stone with a bow and arrow. Remember, shoot it over the crowd of rats. I will enchant your arrow so that it can detonate the phosphorite. The fragments after the explosion can provide us with a long-term view before they fall. Do you understand? "

    After both of them nodded to make sense, the cheese handed Heather the illuminated stone in her hand. The matron observed a little, aimed at the native rat''s position, and waited for the next command.

    "Elsa, I''m going to enchant Jack''s arrow. You give the order." The mage stood next to the archer and said to the landlady.

    Although Elsa had not participated in the iceguard''s military operations before, she also understood that she had to stand up now. What''s more, cheese was willing to trust herself at this critical moment, which in itself made the landlady full of determination.

    "Well, I see. Whoa Three! Two! One! Throw it Taking a little breath, Elsa gave the throw command.

    The Lightstone wrapped in the cloth was hurled into the air by Heather with the last cry, like a star of hope rising from the ground. Monkey''s eyes followed the meteor. When the lighting stone flew to a certain point in the sky, the archer pulled out his hunting bow. The arrow on the bow that had been enchanted by the mage flashed a dark red light.

    Hand loose, string move, arrow out! All in a flash, the arrow with people''s hope flew towards the lighting stone. However, a cold wind blew, and the arrow trembled slightly in the air, missing the falling Lightstone. The lighting stone hit the ground and soon lost its light.

    Jack has always had a lot of confidence in his archery. His mistake at the critical moment made the hunter''s son quite angry.

    "No, there''s another one here." Although cheese also regretted the failure, the master knew that it was not the time to discuss the mistake. He quickly lit up the remaining gray phosphorite and gave it to Heather again.

    The matron took over the last hope, and she looked at Elsa, who was in charge of the order, and indicated that she was ready. The landlady got the knight''s signal and asked the mage and the archer. After getting the ready signal, she took a deep breath.

    "Three! Two! One! Throw it The second time the command rings, another Lightstone is thrown at the rat man.

    With another particularly loud string sound, an arrow flashing red light in the night sky across a perfect track, accurately hit the lighting stone.

    "Yes At this moment, all the people present could not help but exclaim. Then, the lighting stone which was smashed in the air burst into a strong light because of the enchanted arrow. It instantly ignited the wrapped cloth, and the burning light let the rat man hidden in the dark show their face.

    "There it is! There are two! " Through the burning dust, the sharp eyed Knight saw two alien beings in the original rat man. One of them was extremely tall, about twice as tall as the average rat man. His thick arms, even with black hair, could not hide his terrible power. It seems that it was the rat man who threw the fatal tenon. However, the existence of another kind of rat man was beyond the expectation of cheese. On one side of the giant rat man, there was a mouse man with gray hair. His fur color was gray white, and his body was even thinner than that of ordinary rat man. He looked like Gloria who had been stable and mutated. However, although he stood beside the giant rat man, his sense of existence was not weaker than the latter. This gray mouse man has a pair of long and narrow eyes. Cheese just saw it from a distance, and he knew that the commander of these rat people must be this rat man, because in those green eyes, there is something that the mage has never seen in the eyes of other native rat people - wisdom.

    "I''ll take care of the big one, frost, and you''ll take care of the gray one!" Heather pulls out his knight''s sword and runs out of the defensive circle alone.

    Mona and Jack are not willing to fall behind. They also catch up with the female knight with weapons. At the same time, three more Knights also follow.

    "For the hammer!" Once again, the familiar roar of war broke out.

    As if in response to the friendly forces, the two men in front of the charge and Elsa also issued a cry.

    "For the frost corps!"

    Seeing the end of the night, the fierce battle will soon usher in its end. Cheese seems to have been affected by the battlefield atmosphere. Although he didn''t shout any slogans, it was the first time that he felt a flame burning in his heart. A primitive desire for battle made his eyes unconsciously flash dangerous light.
