A riot outside the town interrupted the trial which was about to begin. The soldier who came to report was wearing bear hunter''s armor, which was enough to make Lothar stop what he was doing and pay attention to his message.

    "What monster? Are those mice? " The count of Heishan took two quick steps to hold the soldier''s shoulder to prevent him from falling down due to inertia.

    As a soldier under Lothar, every bear hunter can be said to have experienced many battles. The count of black mountain almost chased every battle in the kingdom. His soldiers were the most elite troops in the whole kingdom. The only thing that allowed the great nobles and royal families to tolerate their existence was that the number of bear hunters was not large, and since everyone knew that although it was easy to be promoted with the count, it would be faster to die in battle, so the recruitment of bear hunters has always been a problem. However, the stable military establishment also allows every soldier under Lothar to cooperate with each other, which is enough to become a nightmare for any enemy. But now, the bear hunter, who has experienced a lot of battles, is scared out of his wits. It is hard to imagine what kind of impact he has experienced.

    "Mouse! quite a lot! All over the place! The outskirts of town are lost! " The soldier replied hastily, his eyes wide open, a look of panic.

    It''s not that bear hunters haven''t seen the native rat people. In fact, after they were stationed in Zhuoluo Town, there have been several mutations in the refugee camp, and some of them have attacked the town in the dark. However, the number of native rat people is not large, whether it is an emergency in the isolation area or an occasional night attack. In addition, they do not dare to appear in the sun, and they are often found and killed by soldiers on guard before they get close. Therefore, in the eyes of the soldiers stationed in Zhuoluo Town, these monsters that look like mice have nothing to fear. However, the warnings brought back by the Knights of the hammer for the rat people were also tragedies when they did not have a large-scale shelter. From their oral statements, we can only conclude that rat men are a great threat to small groups of troops at night. As for whether they have the ability to attack such a complete town as turbidite Town, no one is optimistic about those deformed monsters.

    What''s more, the photophobia of rodents is well known to all. It was midday when the trial began. The sun in the North was not hot at this time, but the cloudless weather was enough to make it warm for people in the sun. In such a strong light moment, how can the rat man, who is afraid of the sun, have the ability to attack turbidite town? This phenomenon, contrary to the information collected before, shocked the count of Heishan and Gregory, while cheese, who had a better understanding of the rat man, was simply surprised by the arrival of the rat man attack at this time, which was almost completely contrary to their understanding of the rat man''s habits. Moreover, even if a large number of native rat people attacked Zhuoluo town from the Earl''s defense line, the defense line composed of the Royal Knights'' order and bear hunters is not so easy to break. Faced with the large-scale human professional troops and well-designed fortifications, those rodents who lack command could not defeat the human defense lines in a short time.

    Obviously, Lothar also thought of this. As a mature military leader, even though he had only experienced a few battles, he also had a relatively clear understanding of the fighting power of the native rat people. In his opinion, his defense line was fully capable of blocking those ugly mutants. He could not understand why the soldier was so embarrassed.

    "What''s going on? What happened to the mice? Why is the defense line outside town lost? "

    Facing the question of his army leader, the soldier took a big breath, trying to calm down his spirit, and then he said in a more gentle tone.

    "All of a sudden the rats came out of the ground, behind the fortifications, and under the houses nearby! There are so many of them that the troops will be divided before they can join together! My Lord, please call up the troops in the market town as soon as possible. Those mice are coming towards the town

    Let go of the hand holding the other side''s shoulder and let the detached soldier collapse to the ground. The count of Montenegrin knew what he was facing, but this sudden predicament did not make Lothar angry. Although his defense line was broken by the other side with unexpected means, but such an unpredictable opponent made the count of Heishan ignite enough fighting spirit.

    "Give me an order to gather the rest of the town, and we will teach the rats a lesson!"

    After issuing orders to the guards around him, Lothar threw the red cloak behind him and walked back to cheese and others. He looked down at Lyon and said.

    "I ask you, dare you swear in the name of a knight that you are still loyal to the kingdom?"

    "I swear in the name of a knight that I Lyon will be loyal to the kingdom to the end of my life. From the past, until eternal sleep forced me to stop The blood lion replied in a deep voice.

    "Well, then you are still the Knight Commander of the royal order." Perhaps he had faith in Lyon, and the count of black mountain nodded, took out his knife and cut the rope tied to the knight. Then he threw the knife to the knight, indicating that he would untie the rope of cheese.

    "Remember, I''m going to lead the soldiers to fight with the mice, and I don''t have any extra hands to watch over you at this time."

    With that, Lothar called the soldiers around the square to the fighting area outside the town. And as Gregory tried to protest against what he had done, the old count looked back and said."The task of the royal order is to assist me in Garrisoning the Northern Territory led by the count. Now Lyon is a man of sin. As the leader of the order, don''t you follow me to resist the enemy?" With that, he took the shining double handed axe from his own guard. Judging from his tone, if Gregory dared to put forward the opposite opinion, he would not mind lubricating the axe blade with the other party''s blood first.

    In the face of such a substantial threat, even if he was not willing to do so, Gregory could only temporarily let Lyon go and ask the Knights of the knights to keep up with the count of Heishan. It''s just that the bitterness in his eyes was real when he passed Lyon. Soon, there were only three of them left in the square full of soldiers. From the prisoners on trial to being left here, the situation has changed so fast that all three of them are confused.

    "I didn''t expect that count of black mountain was a good man." After a while, the boss''s wife said first.

    "There''s no time to comment on Lothar''s good or bad. Our top priority is to get to the exclusion zone and see how the others are doing." Said Lyon. Then he looks at cheese, hoping to get the master''s attitude.

    "Although I''m very concerned about why the rat men attack at this time But I think we should go back first No, you go back to the quarantine area and get out of here with the rest. " Said cheese.

    "And you?" Asked Elsa.

    "Now the soldiers in the town are sent to fight against the rat people. I''ll go to Heather and the hammer''s men, and we''ll know more about them." The master replied.

    "Then I''ll go with you. Lyon alone is enough to take them away The landlady said of course.

    "No, they don''t have to trust Lyon if you don''t go back to Mona. You have to persuade them to follow the Knights. I''ll meet you when I find Heather and them Cheese refused. However, there is another reason that the mage did not mention. Since he was set on fire in the pharmacist''s residence, he always felt that there were other forces in the town besides those on the surface. On the one hand, they can take advantage of the opportunity to fish and let the other party think that the mage is alone, so that they can take advantage of it. On the other hand In such a strange atmosphere, cheese thinks that he may be forced to use his previous abilities. In this way, the fewer people around him are the better, so that he will not hurt others as he did in a fire.

    Although Elsa was not satisfied with the master''s arrangement, Lyon obviously noticed that cheese had some plans of her own. He stopped the landlady''s protest and semi forcibly convinced Elsa to accept the mage''s proposal. Then, after saying good luck to the cheese maker, he took the boss''s wife to the quarantine area first. After the two figures disappeared in the shadow of the building, cheese also started his own action. He still had the map of turbidity current town drawn before in his mind, so it was still possible to find the two-story building where Heather was suspected of being imprisoned.

    With this unusual rat man attack, the mage faintly felt that he was being pointed at by something since he came to Zhuoluo town. But the other side is so hidden that so far cheese has only kept this feeling in a guess. But now more and more situations make the mage feel that the warm sunshine is not enough to illuminate those dark corners.
