Dawn of the Ash Tower

What happened to the companions caused the morale of the knights who had witnessed all this to drop to the bottom almost instantly.If it weren't for the long-standing discipline and the honor of being a knight still supporting them, these poor people might have escaped.

"Shrink the formation!"

Heather also knew that in this situation, the knights' sense of security must be improved. She made a decisive decision and decided to give up a part of the outer area to make the team shrink more closely. This will not only respond to the enemy's attack more quickly, but also make the soldiers feel at ease. , which helps to stabilize the morale of the troops.

"Be good at collective action, know how to intimidate the enemy, and also take advantage of the environment..." Cheese muttered in a low voice. The moment just now may be just a horrible and horrifying picture in the eyes of others, but the mage tried his best to learn from the blood this time. Gather information about the enemy.

The shrinking formation is tighter than before, and because the soldiers are no longer standing on the edge of the fire, those native ratmen will definitely expose themselves to the fire if they want to launch an attack. Once they lose their suddenness, their emotions have been lost. Stable knights have a high probability of counterattack.However, it seemed that they sensed that the situation was becoming unfavorable to them, and those native ratmen did not attack the people in the flames.The two sides seem to be facing each other like this.

While everyone was waiting for the Ratman's second attack, Heather suddenly thought of something, and the female knight commander exclaimed loudly.

"Oops! War horse!"

Originally, in order to control the size of the camp, the knights had to tie their mounts to the nearby open space. Although they also planted torches near the horses when night fell, the horses tied up were undoubtedly the ratmen. Best target when humans are out of reach.As if to confirm Heather's exclamation, the flames emitted from the torches near the horse not far away were extinguished with a gust of airflow like a candle in a strong wind.The neighing of the war horses, the weird roar, the sound of the horseshoes stamping on the ground, all kinds of chaotic noises began to come from the darkness, and it was easy to know that the war horses must have been attacked by the original ratmen.

"Teams one, two, three, bring torches and follow me!"

Holding a torch in one hand, Heather raised her sword and took the lead in rushing towards the horse.If the previous loss of a knight was an accidental loss due to unfamiliarity with the opponent, the female knight leader knew that once she lost her mount here, let alone finding out the source of the plague, it would be very difficult even to get out of the earldom.These horses must not fall into the hands of the Ratmen.

Fortunately, the Hammer Knights are a battle-tested troop after all. Although the knights still fear the unknown enemy, the order of the knight commander still makes them act.A total of fifteen knights in three teams lit the spare torches in their hands and followed Heather into the darkness.The rest of the knights quickly filled their gaps, and firmly protected the only support in the darkness—the bonfire in the center of the camp.

As Heather led the knights towards the horses, the noises near the horses quickly quieted down. Except for the horses' screams and the sound of the horses' hooves stamping on the ground, the ratmen hid in the darkness again.The knights quickly rushed to the side of their mounts. Fortunately, perhaps the Ratmen were not good at dealing with large animals like horses, and these war horses were not injured except for being frightened.They really weren't hurt at all, it was like... like no one wanted to hurt these horses at all.

"Oops! It's a trap!" Almost at the moment when he confirmed the extent of the horse's injury, Heather realized what kind of tricks those native ratmen were playing.However, it was too late.

A sudden attack from the darkness, attacking from the opposite side of the camp to the direction of the warhorse, these native ratmen jumped from the distant darkness to the top of the target like a large flea, and the black shadows frightened the opponent while intimidating them It also blocks the opponent's vision from other skaven approaching from the ground.

"Enemy attack...uh..." The first knight to be attacked tried to slash the ratmen approaching from above his head with his sword while warning, but he only swung his sword halfway, and a cold shock came from him. Hearing from the position of his chest, the knight lowered his head numbly, looking at the wooden tenon inserted into his chest, his eyes were full of bewilderment.

"Damn, be careful! These guys can throw spears!" Jack, who was in the middle of the line, saw the wooden object piercing through the knight's body at a glance. In theory, no matter how humans threw it, it was impossible for a wooden tenon to pierce the armor, but this One scene happened, which only shows that the arm strength of those native ratmen probably far exceeded the scope of common sense.

After hearing the warning, the knights immediately changed their tactics. They gave up holding swords in both hands and removed the knight shield with one hand from behind. The shield slams into the enemy so they have more energy to defend against wooden spears hurled from the shadows.

Different from the previous temptation, this time these native ratmen seem to want to take advantage of the absence of Heather and the others to quickly cull the humans around the campfire. These deformed monsters have completely changed their cowardly appearance. They screamed , attacking the defending warriors with fangs and sharp claws.

"No, there are too many of these guys!" Using a longbow to separate the Ratmen's paws, no need for "monkeys", everyone can feel that the number of Ratmen entering the battlefield far exceeds the number previously estimated .

"Good guy, these monsters have been plotting against us from the very beginning!" A ratman's head was split open with an axe, and Mona didn't care whether these guys still had the possibility of being cured at this time, this time The battle had turned into a bloody battle. The human side had to defend the bonfire under the attack of an unknown number of ratmen, and there was no possibility of escaping.

Elsa kicked away the rat man who was pounced on Cheese, and she glanced back at Cheese who was half kneeling on the ground and casting a spell. The proprietress only hoped that Hahn hadn't stayed in the camp in Tianshui Town.Finally, after the last syllable in Cheese's mouth, a strong dark green light bloomed in the mage's eyes. When he raised his head, countless vines also broke through the ground with his gaze, covering those who just stood The feet of the Ratman on the ground were firmly tied.The mage's magic once again achieved a miraculous effect. Those native ratmen couldn't understand why their feet were caught by vines. Naturally, the battle-hardened knights would not miss this opportunity, and there were no less than ten rats in a short time. People were killed.

"Squeak!" A piercing scream came from Heather's direction. The female knight captain who had been tricked into diverting the tiger away from the mountain finally couldn't care less. With anger, he beheaded the ratmen outside the camp one by one.And the rest of the knights followed suit. Relying on the weight and speed of their horses, they charged recklessly at the edge of the flames, knocking those Ratmen who hadn't had time to react directly into the air.

Seeing that the situation on the battlefield seemed to be returning to the human side, there was a sharp cry in the darkness, followed by the sound of piercing the sky.

"Beware of throwing spears!" Jack's eyesight once again detected the enemy's plan in advance. Following his warning, the knights all put their shields in front of them to defend against the wooden tenons from the Ratmen.

But the facts have proved that although the knights can rely on their shields to defend against the thrown wooden spears, the horses they sit on cannot. The best target for a spear thrower.

"Pfft!" With a muffled sound, the horses shot by the wooden spear fell down with a mournful cry, and even the knights on their backs fell down heavily.Except for a few able-bodied knights who jumped off their horses in advance, most of the knights were unlucky enough to be crushed by their own horses, and some even had their leg bones crushed directly.

"Rescue the wounded!" Heather successfully avoided the attack of the wooden spear with her superb skills, but the fifteen knights did not have such good luck. With her glance, at least six or seven knights were killed by her His mount was pressed down and he couldn't move.At this time, the huge and heavy body of the horse becomes a burden. To lift the horse requires the cooperation of at least two people, and a third person must drag the injured out from under the horse. During this period, four people including the injured There is no way to defend against the enemy's attack, and the human side of the entire battle situation fell into a passive state again.
