Dawn of the Ash Tower

Chapter 31 Night Battle


With a large number of wooden spears thrown at the camp, the situation on the battlefield quickly tilted towards the Ratmen again.Hammer Knight barely rescued the wounded under the horses after paying a terrible price, but those horses shot by the wooden spear had no choice but to stay where they were.The rescued wounded and uninjured horses were gathered around the campfire, and those who were still able to move held their shields around the campfire to form a defense.

"How many of these guys are there?"

A sword pierced the native Ratman rushing forward, and Jack asked a question that everyone wanted to ask.Although it is uncertain how many Ratmen there are in the darkness, judging from the number of wooden spears shot over, including the native Ratmen who participated in close combat, the number of these attackers is at least fifty, which is a terrifying Because so far, with the loss of nearly ten people, there are only twenty original ratmen that can be confirmed to be killed.It seems that the battle loss ratio of 30:[-] is very impressive, especially because most of the human side only temporarily lost combat power due to injuries, but don't forget that the more than [-] people present are elite knights and frost guards of the Hammer Knights The best among them, with such a team level, can achieve such a battle loss ratio, especially after several successive planned attacks, the danger of these native ratmen has increased rapidly.

"No, there is a problem with these native ratmen." Since the release of the vine spell, the cheese has been forced to protect the rear of the battlefield. A mage who has lost the ability to move one arm is too prone to danger on the battlefield where wooden spears are flying around. , neither the Frost Guard nor Heather can take this risk.And thanks to this, the mage once again observed some abnormal things.

"The only problem with them is that they are ridiculously strong, and there are too many of them!" Even Heather couldn't help saying aloud after separating a flying wooden tenon with a sword.

"The power of these wooden spears is wrong. The first wooden spear pierced through a warrior wearing armor in an instant, but look at these throwing spears now, and they can be separated with a light block of a sword. Their power is too weak! "

In fact, it is not necessary for the mage to say that everyone present can feel this. After all, the momentum of the first wooden tenon flying out of the darkness is too scary. If the attack strength of every wooden spear is like that, Those present were probably shot into hedgehogs long ago.But to understand it is to understand, it is another matter to figure out what this means on the ever-changing battlefield. Although experienced fighters can quickly penetrate the enemy's weakness with their combat experience, that is in the face of Based on the same type of opponents, neither Heather nor Mona can find the enemy's weakness in the first battle and at an absolute disadvantage.But fortunately, cheese can.

"What do you mean?" the female warrior asked, she knew that the mage's next answer would probably change the outcome of this battle.

"I think there should be a special individual among these native ratmen, who is leading the tactics of these ratmen to make a feint attack, and it is also the first to throw an extremely powerful wooden spear!" Cheese said loudly replied.

"You mean a guy like those big cavemen?" The female knight leader quickly realized, thinking of the cavemen who had fought before, Cheese's speculation was very likely.

"But what can we do if we know? This leader is much more cunning than those fools who only know how to dig holes." "Monkey" tried to counterattack with a bow and arrow, but the darkness beyond the fire made it impossible to know whether it would be effective. .

"By the way, do you still have the kind of stone you used in the cave?" Elsa thought of the lighting methods used by Cheese in the cave before. In such an open environment, the lighting of torches and glowing stones In fact, the scope of the former may be larger, so no one thought of asking Cheese to make that kind of lighting stone again.

Hearing what the proprietress said, Cheese also thought that it would be a way to use the lighting stone as a guiding sign, so he hurriedly rummaged through his pockets to find materials for making the lighting stone.

"I found it, and I can make two more!" The mage said, lighting up one of the lighting stones with one hand with a skillful technique.

Heather and the others had never seen a mage making this kind of lighting tool before, so they naturally didn't know its usefulness. In her opinion, this luminous stone is indeed a good lighting device, but it is not enough to expand their current lighting range.

This problem also stumped Cheese and Elsa. Although they now have a lighting stone, if the mage ignites the whole stone at once like last time, it can certainly illuminate the surrounding environment, but the strong light will also illuminate the surrounding environment. Affecting the fighters on their own side, even if they find the leading rat man, it is impossible to kill him during the short lighting time.And once the enemy has a sense of crisis, with the opponent's cunning level, I am afraid that they will not give the human side a second chance.

Just when the situation was deadlocked again, the mage saw the bow and arrow in Jack's hand.

"I figured out a way!" Cheese shouted.

"Monkey, Heather, I need your help."

The two who were called by the mage temporarily withdrew from the battle circle, retreated to the mage's side, and waited for cheese's instructions.

"Listen, the reason why gray phosphorite glows is because it burns, and I used to heat it in one go, let it burn out in a very short time, so as to give off a strong light. But this time, I will try to use a stronger Heating it at a low temperature, no, maybe it is more appropriate to ignite it." The cheese spoke at a very fast speed that neither of them understood.

"Anyway, Heather, I need you to wrap this rock in a piece of cloth and throw it among those rat men. The guy in charge should be in the thickest place where the wooden spears are thrown. Then, Jack, I want you Shoot this stone with a bow and arrow. Remember, you must shoot it over the rat population. I will enchant your arrow so that it can detonate the gray phosphorite. The fragments after the explosion can provide us with A longer horizon. Got it?"

After both of them nodded to express their understanding, the cheese handed over the lit lighting stone to Heather. The female knight commander observed a little, aimed at the position of the original rat man, and waited for the next password.

"Elsa, I want to enchant Jack's arrow, you give the order." The mage stood beside the archer and said to the proprietress.

Although Elsa had not participated in the Frost Guard's military operations before, she also understood that she had to stand up now, not to mention Cheese's willingness to trust herself at this critical moment, which in itself made the proprietress full of determination.

"Okay, I understand. Huh..., three! Two! One! Throw!" Taking a light breath, Elsa gave the command to throw.

With the last shout, Heather threw the lighting stone wrapped in the cloth into the air forcefully, like a star of hope rising from the ground. The eyes of the "monkey" followed the meteor. When the lighting stone flew to a certain point in the sky, the archer opened his hunting bow, and the arrows on the bow that had been enchanted by the mage flashed a dark red brilliance.

Loosen the hand, move the string, and shoot the arrow!It all happened in a split second, and the arrow carrying everyone's hope flew towards the lighting stone. However, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the arrow trembled slightly in the air, missing the falling lighting stone.The lighting stone hit the ground and quickly lost its light.

"****" A foul language with the characteristics of the Northlanders came out of Jack's mouth. He has always had great confidence in his archery skills. Angry.

"Don't be afraid, there is one more here." Although the cheese also regretted this failure, the mage knew that now is not the time to discuss mistakes, so he quickly lit up the only gray phosphorite left and handed it to Heather again.

The female knight commander took over the last hope. She looked at Elsa who was in charge of issuing the order, and signaled that she was ready.The proprietress received the knight's signal, and then asked the mage and the archer. After receiving the ready signal, she took a deep breath.

"Three! Two! One! Throw!" The second command sounded, and another lighting stone was thrown at the Ratman.

Following another exceptionally loud string sound, an arrow shining with red light traced a perfect trajectory in the night sky, hitting the illuminating stone accurately.

"I won!" At this moment, everyone present couldn't help but exclaimed.Immediately afterwards, the illuminated stone, which was crushed in the air, burst into intense light because of the enchanted arrow, which instantly ignited the wrapped cloth, and the light produced by the burning revealed the faces of the ratmen hidden in the darkness.

"There! There are two!" The sharp-eyed knight saw through the burning dust two incompatible existences among the original ratmen. One of them was extraordinarily tall, about twice the height of ordinary ratmen. Even black hair can't hide its terrifying power.Apparently it was this rat man who threw the deadly dowel.The existence of another kind of ratman was beyond Cheese's previous expectations. There was a gray-haired ratman on the side of the giant ratman. Its coat color was gray and white, and its body was thinner than ordinary ratmen. It looks like Gloria who has been stabilized and mutated. However, although it is standing beside the giant rat man, its sense of existence is not weaker than the latter.This gray-haired ratman has a pair of long and narrow eyes. Cheese just saw it from a distance, and he knew that the commander of these ratmen must be this ratman, because there are eyes in those green eyes that a mage has never seen in other people. What the native ratman sees in his eyes—wisdom.

"I'll take care of that big one, Frost, you take care of that gray-haired one!" Heather drew out the knight sword and rushed out of the defensive circle single-handedly.

Mona and Jack were not to be outdone. The two of them caught up with the female knight captain with their weapons in hand. At the same time, three more knights followed behind as cover.

"For the Hammer!" The familiar battle cry rang out again.

As if in response to the friendly forces, the two who were charging ahead and Elsa also shouted.

"For the Frost Legion!"

Seeing that the night is coming to an end, this fierce battle will soon come to an end.Cheese also seemed to be infected by the atmosphere of the battlefield. Although he didn't shout any slogans, this was the first time he felt a flame burning in his heart, and the most primitive desire for battle made his eyes flash unconsciously With a dangerous light.
