After realizing that something was going on in these native rat humans, Lothar instinctively felt wrong. Although it has long been known that these rat shaped monsters dislike the sun, the extent of this is that nocturnal creatures escape from the sun instinct. However, it is obvious that the curly hair on the body of the severely injured and fallen rat is not caused by psychological factors.

    Fortunately, with the arrival of the count of Heishan, the battlefield situation has gradually turned into an advantage. As long as the knight with gold armor is riding his horse in the army, its significance is enough to let bear hunters know that the situation is still in human hands. As for the Knights of the royal order, they were also inspired by the excitement of their comrades in arms. Although the attack of the rat man did not seem to weaken, the human defense line seemed to stop retreating and even moved forward. This gave Lothar time to observe the rat men in front of him. In the count''s eyes, they were neither ferocious monsters seen by ordinary people, nor the poor infected people they knew. For Lothar, they were just rivals. This is enough, without any personal feelings. Even if he knew that these primitive rat people were once human, he would not have pity on them. Even if these monsters were ferocious and devouring blood, he would not hate them. This gave the count of Heishan a chance to examine them from a different perspective.

    There is no doubt that the rodents under the plague are fierce and fearless beasts, but regardless of the hostile relationship, as a commander, their tactics are almost tyrannical in Lothar''s eyes. Excellent stealth ability, keen senses, and the ability to easily climb buildings or dig tunnels. Rodents with these abilities should be scouts in the shadow. They can become the most excellent eyes and ears of commanders. The traces of enemies will be nowhere to hide under the penetration of rat people, which makes the excellent physical functions of rat people worthless in comparison. After all, although they are agile, the hardness of the rat man''s body is far less than that of a soldier in heavy armor. If you match the mouse man with armor so that they can gain defense and sacrifice their speed advantage, it''s better to go straight to an ordinary soldier. In short, any commander with common sense would not let such a soldier serve as a Ranger on the front battlefield.

    Although the fact that luosa''s attack has become extremely inefficient, it seems that the time consumed by the attack of human beings is extremely low. As far as the count of Heishan could see, before and after the defense line formed by human soldiers, there were dead bodies of rat people everywhere, while the soldiers who retreated into Zhuoluo town and operated in small groups suffered little death and injury. Therefore, it should be only a matter of time to resist the attack. That said, there is only one place left in this battle that has puzzled Lothar.

    The count of black mountain found a middle-level officer among the bear hunters, whose troops were in charge of the outer defense of chuoluo town during the rat man attack. Seeing Lothar come by himself, the officer instinctively thought that the count was to be held accountable for the loss of the outer part. However, Lothar quickly indicated that he did not intend to pursue the matter for the time being. On the contrary, the count asked a question that did not sound very important to the situation at this time.

    "Did you see those monsters eating people?" Asked Rosa.

    The officer subconsciously wanted to say that, after all, the ferocious appearance of the protozoans and their blood sucking behavior made it hard to believe that they would not touch the bodies of the soldiers. But just as he was about to answer this question, the officer, out of the perennial dignity of the count of Heishan, still calmed down. He made a look of thinking and tried to find the picture of rat man swallowing human body in the confused memory. But after about ten breaths, he could only say that.

    "I think they were cannibalizing, but I didn''t see it directly, my Lord."

    Getting the other party''s answer also confirmed the last doubt in Lothar''s heart. Gregory, who was searching for the count among the soldiers, happened to find him, and he heard the officer''s reply.

    "Is it important that these monsters eat people or not?" Asked Gregory.

    Lothar glanced up at the man. Although he had agreed to Gregory''s proposal in the process of proposing to isolate Lyon and others, he even presided over the trial of cheese makers. But that was what a Lord had to do. These actions only show that the count of Montenegrin did not protect Lyon, but did not mean that he liked Gregory, who took the opportunity to get rid of his own officer. However, Lyon could not come back directly to take over the command of the royal order, so Lothar had to bear to explain his ideas to the other side.

    "If they eat people, I can understand that these monsters attack turbidity flow because of hunger. If that''s the case, then their hunger should make them eager to enjoy everyone who is knocked down by them. But they didn''t, and maybe these mice did eat human flesh, which I have no doubt about, but since they didn''t have their lunch in the first place. Then why they want to attack us is a question. " Said the count.

    "Maybe They want to kill us all before they eat? " Said Gregory, hesitating.

    Yeah, maybe they want to sprinkle some more seasoning on us before dinner. What a fool, a hungry beast doesn''t care about the order of his meals. Lyon will trust this guy. He deserves to be set up. The count of black mountain thought in his mind. But although he was disdainful of Gregory''s slow reaction, Lothar knew how to deal with it on the battlefield, so that he could not keep up with his allies. At least, he would not put his disdain on his face."Maybe, but I''m more inclined to think that these rats attack us because they''re driven by someone." With that, the count tilted his head and motioned to the rats who had fallen to the ground and had not yet breathed. Their hair was burning and emitting a faint black smoke.

    "Do you mean that these monsters have been ordered to attack our soldiers? I think it must be the wizard! Because he was afraid that we would judge him, so he found these monsters! You''re right! " In Gregory''s eyes, Lothar''s reasoning completely changed into another one. The knight happily thought that he had found a "criminal evidence" that could be passed through the head of cheese, and Lyon, who brought him, was naturally to blame.

    Narrowing his eyes, he resisted the strong impulse to smash the power and dirty fool in his mind. Lothar chose not to communicate with Gregory any more. In his opinion, this man was totally worthless. It was because there were such people in the royal order that the count of Heishan never wanted to obtain the title of Knight, the title of glory It''s been spoiled by too many people like that.

    At this moment, the battle field suddenly made a huge sound. It felt like someone was pounding the wall with a siege hammer. Without saying a word, Lothar immediately turned on his horse and went to the place where the sound came from. On the not so spacious street, he saw the source of the sound. It was the rat man variety called the giant rat man by cheese, but compared with the two meter tall giant rat man seen in the Valley City, he stood on the street and threw bear hunter soldiers as stones on the road He is at least three meters tall. This is no longer a giant that can be generalized. There is only one word in Lothar''s mind to describe such a creature - giant.
