Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 37
Of course, there are no reinforcements in the imagination. In the face of a huge and threatening army of rat men, the ability to break through the encirclement was not even possible with the help of cheese alone. Even looking numbly at the enemies still emerging in the distant buildings, cheese was very suspicious that even if Heather and them were here, they would only delay some time for the native rat people.
Having said that, but even if they had the absolute advantage in number, they did not rashly launch the attack. With the approach of a large number of rodents, the mage also found that there were mutants among them. Among them, the most common and largest number of mutants was the giant rat man that had been caught before. These mutants with powerful bodies account for more than half of the mutant Murmans observed by the mage, and he also saw that there were some giant Murmans wearing fitted iron armor! It seems that this armor style is specially made for these mutant rat humans. How can this be possible? Rodents have never been seen before in history, and there is no armor built for them in valley city. So the only reasonable explanation is that these protozoans forged the armor for themselves.
"Cheese, I remember you said before that these Murmans are just beasts controlled by instinct, right?" Jack asked. I can''t believe that cheese wasn''t the only one in sight. The good order of these native rat people surprised all the people present.
"They should have lost any ability to think rationally after being infected by the plague. Even the instinct of animals to survive will be weakened by the gradual invasion of the virus It should be like this. "
At this time, the mage felt that all his previous knowledge of these creatures transformed by the plague was rapidly collapsing. If we say that the good discipline shown by the rat man in the night battle outside the city is due to the command of the gray mouse man, but the behavior of these rat people is far more than that. In the face of almost no resistance ability, these native rat people did not rush to eat several people, but showed strong self-discipline. It''s unbelievable.
And even more terrifying things happened. The mutant murans, except for the giant ones, slowly approached the gray mouse man who escaped from the cheese. These mutants communicated with each other in an incomprehensible human voice, and from time to time they made some shrieks, as if they were arguing about something. Cheese noticed that the rat people would look in the direction of humans from time to time when they were communicating, but the way they looked made cheese feel like they were looking at the goods on the shelf.
Soon, the mutant rat people seemed to have come to a conclusion. The gray mouse man approached the human side with a disgusting smile on the corner of his mouth. He threw a big lump of stuff at the cheese. At first, everyone thought that the gray mouse man was throwing some kind of lethal weapon, so in a moment, all the Knights raised their shields, even Mona and they quickly blocked the cheese behind them, ready to use their bodies to resist the attack for the mage. But the expected danger did not come, only the sinister laughter from the rat man. Human beings put down the shield in front of them in a daze. At this time, they finally saw what the grey mouse man threw in front of him. It''s a big rope.
However, seeing the things thrown by the rat man did not make people understand their intention. The whole group looked at each other and didn''t know what it meant. Only cheese looked at the rope for a moment, and then looked up at the grey mouse man.
"I''m afraid these ropes are for us to tie ourselves up." Said the mage.
Although cheese, as a caster in the team, almost all members of the team had full trust in what he said. However, what the mage had just said was too bizarre. Eight people, including two frost guards, could not accept his words. Elsa also looked at cheese in shock at the beginning, and felt incredible at the master''s speech. However, the landlady looked around the mob of rat people who were not attacking and the grey mouse man who still had a strange smile. She finally bit her teeth and decided to believe the master. So, in the eyes of others, Elsa picked up the rope, tied her hands to the front of a cheese with an arm that was not able to move. Then she gave the rope to Mona, indicating that the other party would help to tie her up.
"Are you crazy?" The woman soldier took the rope and said. In her opinion, it is an acceptable way to die under the cover of these rat men, but surrender to these twisted monsters? And it''s still a humiliating way to bind your hands, which is simply unreasonable.
"If I could, I would choose to fight these guys to death. But the purpose of our trip is not to kill these protozoans. We are here to find ways to curb the spread of the plague. Don''t forget, these monsters in front of you are all the same human beings as you and me before. If we fail here, how many people will become like this, do you think? " Cheese said, he did not dodge to meet Mona''s eyes, with the action to tell the female soldier that he did not lie.
“…… I hope what you said is true. It''s not an excuse you''ve made up to survive. Or I don''t mind cutting your head off before I die, mage Cheese''s words are not unreasonable, and the current number of enemies with such a large number of head-on combat is indeed suicide. Although I still feel resistance to surrender in my heart, I think of the people in the small town at the foot of the mountain and my comrades in arms in the army. The female soldier also had to admit that she didn''t want to see them become the rats in front of them.With Mona and Elsa taking the lead, "monkey" naturally has nothing to say. Although the northerner was humiliated by the surrender, he was willing to compromise once in order to protect the mage. As for the other five hammers, as proud knights, they showed strong resistance to surrendering to the rat. Although Heather gave them the order to protect cheese, they didn''t know the mage as well as the three people from Shanxia town. When cheese tried to persuade them, the rat people who had been waiting for a long time seemed to be impatient.
"Creak! Gaka..." A series of incomprehensible sounds were made in their mouths. With some command from the gray mouse man, three giant rat men with strong body and armor came out of the rat group. They quietly went to the human beings, ignored the five hammer knights, and directly led the four cheese men who had been tied to a rope and led them into the ranks of rat men. It seems that the original target of these protozoans should be mages, because when cheese was brought into the group, it was obvious that the grey mouse man was relieved. Then the mutant rat man, who planned the ambush, left with a satisfied look the giant rat man who escorted them to cheese.
Cheese and others were surrounded by five or six giant rat men, surrounded by these terrible creatures infected by the plague. But the landlady couldn''t bear to look back at the fate of those knights, but she was also blocked by layers of rat people, unable to see the figure of the five hammer knights. Only the smell of blood floating in the wind is telling their ending.
"Under the wind and snow, among the mountains, may your soul be with your ancestors..." Mona and Jack spontaneously sing a sad song, their singing is not good, even can be said to be pentatonic, but this song has been sung by frost guards for a hundred years, in their mouth still with the memory of the dead and dedication to the battle.
Elsa has heard this song. Every time a frost guard dies or dies in an accident during a mission, all the Legion soldiers present at their funeral will use this song to send them off under the guidance of the commander. The landlady still remembers that when her grandfather died, commander Jon, who came to hold his funeral, also sang this song. With this bleak song, some white crystals fall from the sky, and Xigu city begins to snow.
