Without the cover of darkness, the position of the protozoan is exposed to humans. The sudden light made the rat people start to stir up. It can be seen that these native rat people really hate the bright environment, and even the two rat people who look different from each other become a little rusty under the light of the fire. That''s why Heather and his team can rush to the native rat man without incident. Those ordinary rat people completely forget to use spears to restrain the human''s charging steps, and let the enemy approach a very dangerous distance.

    After running for a certain distance, the female Knight jumps up fiercely with one foot, and uses the speed and inertia to chop at the bewildered gray mouse man. Although the target has been assigned before, the huge rat man is not an easy target to solve. Instead of wasting time and circling with it, it is better to kill this gray mouse man first.

    "Gaga!" But of course, Heather''s attack did not succeed. The huge rat man appeared in front of the gray mouse man at a speed not matching its body shape. With the rat man''s strange cry, the wooden tenon met the knight''s blade with the wind.

    "Bang!" With the sound of a string, "monkey" arched from a far away place, but because of the huge size of the rat man standing in front of him, the arrow originally aimed at the gray mouse man was thrust into the right arm of the giant rat man.

    As soon as his right arm softened, the wooden tenon in his hand deviated a little, and Heather''s Knight Sword crossed over the tenon, leaving a deep wound in the other''s chest. The rat man let out a piercing howl, and his body unconsciously stepped back a few steps. The female knight, with her sword in pursuit of victory, stabbed the mouse man''s neck with her sword. If the sword was really stabbed, even if the head of this giant rat man could not be cut off, it would be almost as good.

    "Wait, save it!" The cry of cheese came from a distance. Although she was very reluctant, the female Knight also knew that the victory or defeat had been decided, so she did not have to kill the native rat man. She changed her movements temporarily. With the rotation of her wrist, the knight''s sword changed from the original stab, and the target changed from the throat of the giant rat man to the left arm. The sharp blade cuts into the muscle unimpeded, and the blood splashes along the wound. With such a heavy injury, the rat man has lost the ability to fight.

    At this time, Mona and they have already captured the gray mouse man. The female soldier cuts down on the mouse man''s knee with an axe. The gray mouse man falls down on the ground uncontrollably. Although he still tries to struggle, Jack''s hunter''s knife has quickly cut his tendon. At this point, the two leaders who commanded the group were under the control of the human side. Seeing the capture of the leader, the morale of the rest of the original rat people dropped to the extreme in an instant. In addition, the distant horizon had begun to emit a faint white light. These murans scattered in a hurry, taking advantage of the last glimmer of darkness before dawn, and fled quickly.

    Although Heather wanted to hunt down these fleeing protozoans, the mage once again stopped the chivalry. Cheese knew that although these primitive murans were now beasts acting entirely by instinct, he could find a way to cure them. If not, he could restore them to their senses like Gloria, and there was no need to put them now It''s right here. What''s more, the two unusual creatures captured alive are more worthy of the mage''s study than those of the ordinary protozoans.

    Even if the Chevalier wanted to hunt down the rat men again, they had already run away. As the world around him returned to light, Heather knew that the battle was over. The knights who were still able to move began to sort out the scattered camp and further deal with the wounded. Fortunately, most of the wounded knights were crushed by their own horses. Although the injuries were serious, there was no risk of infection. As for the rest of the knights who were unfortunately stabbed by wooden spears, most of them were only abrasions. According to the instructions of the mage, all the muscles around the wound were cut off with a red dagger. Without painkillers, each knight could only bite a piece of rag to complete the operation, and then sprinkle the herb powder of cheese on the wound to prevent infection and accelerate healing Having said that, it may be difficult for these knights to fight again in a short time.

    Only a few soldiers were fatally wounded in the battle, and the most tragic one should be the knight whose heart was pierced with a spear by the giant rat man. The five knights who died in battle had a short funeral under the leadership of heather. The team had no conditions to transport their bodies back to the Lord of hammer. In addition, their bodies were basically scarred by rat people, which could not rule out the possibility that their bodies became the source of infection of the plague. The Knight Commander can only cremate their bodies, take down their family insignia, and return them to their families after the mission is over.

    While Heather presided over the funeral, cheese did not go with the rest of the frost fighters. He put on his gloves again and examined the corpses of the killed native rat. There is no condition for these corpses to be made into specimens. In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the mage had to deal with the corpses in the same way after the Knights'' funeral, so time became more precious. Fortunately, he has examined Gloria''s body in detail. In addition to the corpse found on the road before, the mage has a general grasp of the structure of the rat man. What he has to do now is to judge the variation of plague virus through the subtle differences between different individuals.But soon, during the dissection of cheese, he found something wrong.

    "Do you recognize this badge?" The mage threw a washed piece of iron in front of heather and washed his hands with water.

    Heather frowned. She recognized the origin of the emblem at the first sight, but she didn''t want to believe that it would appear in the corpses of these native rat people. So she carefully picked up the piece of iron and looked at it closely, hoping that she could find some traces to prove her judgment was wrong. However, this only allowed her to affirm her judgment from the details of the emblem, an answer Heather did not want to admit.

    "I''m afraid This is the emblem of the royal order. To be precise, this should be part of their badge. "

    "It''s almost what I guess." The mage nodded. He also knew the style of the Kingdom Knights'' insignia of Cang Lion Kingdom. However, as the female Knight said, the emblem was not complete, so for the sake of safety, he asked Heather to confirm.

    "Where did you find it?" Asked the matron.

    "On a rat man''s necklace, it seems that he took this thing as some kind of booty. I''m afraid the original owner of this emblem is in danger

    The mage''s answer made Heather feel more uneasy. However, her trust in the royal order made her try not to draw too pessimistic conclusions. Now the troops she leads are seriously damaged. If the Royal Knights'' order, as a strong reinforcement, is also in danger, the result of this mission may be more ominous.

    "Maybe it was the knight of the kingdom who dropped it accidentally and was picked up by these rat men."

    "Maybe." The mage did not refute Heather''s words, although both of them knew that the knight always regarded his own badge as a symbol of his own glory, how could he discard it at will? However, it is too early to say that the Royal Knights'' order is already unexpected, and a piece of badge fragment is not enough to sentence the death penalty of an entire Knight army.

    But this piece of fragment can''t get clues from the Knights of the Kingdom, but the person who got it can. Cheese took his eyes off the debris and turned to the two mousemon leaders, the two heavyweight prisoners of war who were under the strict care of six or seven knights.
