Dawn of the Ash Tower

Imaginary reinforcements, of course, were absent.Facing a large and menacing army of Ratmen, the ten people just relying on Cheese didn't even have the ability to break through.Even looking numbly at the enemies that are still appearing in the distant buildings one after another, Cheese is very suspicious that even if Heather and the others are here, it may just delay these native ratmen.

Having said that, even though they had an absolute advantage in numbers, these Ratmen did not attack rashly.As a large number of ratmen approached, the mage also discovered that there were mutant individuals among these ratmen. The most common and largest mutant individuals were the giant ratmen that had been caught before.These mutant ratmen with powerful bodies accounted for more than half of the mutant ratmen observed by the mage, and he also saw some giant ratmen wearing iron armor that fit!The style of this armor seems to be tailor-made for these mutant ratmen. How is this possible?Creatures like ratmen have never appeared in previous history, and there will be no armor made for them in the valley city.So the only reasonable explanation is that these native ratmen forged these armors for themselves.

"Cheese, I remember you said before that these ratmen are just beasts controlled by instinct, right?" Jack asked.I can't believe that Cheese is not the only one I see in front of me. The good order shown by these native rat people surprised all the humans present.

"After being infected by the plague, they should have lost any ability to think rationally, and even the survival instinct of animals will be weakened by the gradual invasion of the virus...it should be like this."

At this moment, the mage felt that all his previous understanding of these creatures transformed by the plague was rapidly collapsing.If the good discipline shown by the Ratmen in the night battle outside the city was due to the command of the gray-haired Ratman, but the behavior of the Ratmen in front of them was far more than that.In front of the crowd who had almost no ability to resist, these native rat people did not rush forward to divide and eat several people, but showed extremely strong self-discipline.It's just unbelievable.

And something even more terrifying happened. Except for the giant rat-men, the mutant rat-men slowly approached the gray-haired rat-man who escaped from Cheese. Incomprehensible voices were communicating, and there were screams from time to time, as if they were arguing about something.Cheese noticed that those Ratmen would look in the direction of humans from time to time when communicating, but the way they looked over made Cheese feel that they seemed to be looking at the products on the shelf.

Soon, those mutated ratmen seemed to discuss a result, and saw that gray haired ratman approached the human side with a disgusting smile at the corner of his mouth, and it threw a big pile of things at Cheese and the others.At the beginning, everyone thought that the squirrel man was throwing some kind of lethal weapon, so all the knights raised their shields in an instant, and even Mona and the others hurriedly blocked the cheese behind them, Prepare to use your body to resist attacks for the mage.But the expected danger did not come, only malicious laughter came from the ratmen.The human put down the shield in front of them in a daze, and only then did they finally see clearly what the gray-haired rat man threw in front of him.It was a big ball of rope.

However, after seeing the things thrown by the Ratmen, people could not understand their intentions, and the group looked at each other without knowing what it meant.Only the cheese stared at the ball of rope for a while, then looked up at the gray haired rat man.

"I'm afraid these ropes are for us to tie ourselves up," said the mage.

Although cheese is the caster in the team, almost all members have full trust in what he said, but what the mage just said is too unbelievable, and it is difficult for eight people including the two frost guards to accept him. if.Elsa looked at the cheese with a shocked face at the beginning, and felt unbelievable about the mage's speech, but the proprietress looked around at the surrounding rat army and the gray fur still with a strange smile. Ratman, she finally gritted her teeth and decided to trust the mage.So under the puzzled eyes of others, Elsa picked up the roll of rope, helped Cheese, who had a handicap to move his hands, tie his hands in front of his body, and then handed the rope to Mona, beckoning to the other party to help her get her tied up.

"Are you crazy?" the female warrior took the rope and said.In her opinion, being drowned and killed by these ratmen is an acceptable way to die, but surrendering to these twisted monsters?And it's in a humiliating way of binding one's own hands, which is simply unreasonable.

"If I could, I would choose to fight these guys here to the death. But the purpose of our trip is not to kill these native rat people. The reason we are here is to find a way to curb the spread of the plague. Don't Forget, these monsters in front of you, they were all human beings like you and me before. If we fail here, how many people will become like this, what do you think?" Cheese said, he He met Mona's gaze without dodging, and told the female warrior with his actions that he was not lying.

"... I hope what you said is true. Not an excuse you made up to survive. Otherwise, I don't mind chopping off your head before I die, mage." Cheese's words are not unreasonable, and now with Combatting such a large number of enemies head-on is indeed tantamount to suicide.Although I still feel conflicted about surrendering in my heart, I think of the people in the small town down the mountain and the comrades in the army.The female warrior also had to admit that she didn't want to see them transform into these rat-like aliens in front of her.

With Mona and Elsa taking the lead, "Monkey" naturally has nothing to say.Although this northern man also felt humiliated by the surrender, in order to fulfill the task of protecting the mage, he was willing to make a compromise for the time being.As for the other five Hammer Knights, as proud knights, they showed great resistance to surrendering to the Ratmen.Although Heather gave them the order to protect the cheese, they knew far less about the mage than the three from Shanxia Town. When the cheese tried to persuade them, the ratmen who had been waiting for a long time seemed to be finally impatient .

"Squeak! Kaka..." A series of incomprehensible voices came out of the mouth, and following some kind of instruction from the gray haired rat man, three giant rat men with strong bodies and armor came out from the group of rats. They silently walked in front of the humans, ignored the five hammer knights, and took the four cheesemen who had been tied to a rope, and pulled them into the team of ratmen.It seems that the original target of these native ratmen should be the mage, because when the cheese was brought into the rat group, it was obvious that the gray haired rat man was relieved.Then the mutant rat man who planned the ambush with one hand followed the giant rat man who escorted Cheese and the others away with a satisfied expression.

Cheese and others were surrounded by five or six giant ratmen and passed through the ratmen. They were surrounded by these horrible creatures infected by the plague.And the proprietress couldn't bear to turn her head to see what happened to those knights, but she was also blocked by layers of ratmen, and she couldn't see the five hammer knights.Only the smell of blood floating in the wind tells their ending.

"Under the wind and snow, in the mountains, may your heroic soul be with your ancestors..." Mona and Jack spontaneously sang a sad song. However, this ancient tune that has been sung by the Frost Guards for a hundred years still carries in their mouths the nostalgia for the dead and the obsession with fighting.

Elsa had heard this song, and whenever a frost guard died in battle or in an accident during a mission, all the legionnaires present at their funeral would use this song to send them off under the leadership of the commander.The proprietress still remembered that when her grandfather died, Commander Jon who came to hold his funeral also sang this song.With this desolate song, some white crystals fell from the sky, and it began to snow in the valley city.
