Dawn of the Ash Tower

.,

After realizing that something was happening to these native ratmen, Lothar instinctively realized something was wrong.Although it has long been reported that these mouse-shaped monsters hate the sun, the extent is the instinctive escape of nocturnal creatures from the sun.However, the burning and curly hair on the severely wounded Ratman who fell to the ground in front of him was obviously not caused by psychological factors.

Fortunately, the situation on the battlefield has gradually turned into an advantage due to the arrival of the Earl of Montenegro. As long as this knight in golden armor stands in the army on his horse, it is meaningful enough for the bear hunters to know that the situation is still in the hands of humans.As for the knights of the Kingdom Knights, they were also encouraged by the excitement of their comrades-in-arms. Although the Ratman's offensive did not seem to be weakening, the human defense line seemed to have stopped retreating, and was even faintly moving forward. advance.This allowed Lothar to have time to carefully observe the rat people in front of him. In the eyes of the earl, these rat people are neither the hideous monsters that ordinary people see, nor the poor infected people they know about cheese. For Lothar, they are just opponents.This is enough, without any personal feelings involved, even if he knows that these native ratmen were once human, he will not feel pity, even if these monsters are ferocious and devour blood, he will not be disgusted, this gives the Earl of Montenegro the opportunity to use another One way to look at these ratmen.

There is no doubt that the ratmen under the plague are fearless beasts, but putting aside the hostile relationship, as a commander, the tactics of these ratmen are almost reckless in Lothar's eyes.Excellent stealth ability, keen senses, and the ability to easily climb buildings or dig tunnels. Ratmen with these should be scouts in the shadows. They can be the best eyes and ears of the commander. There is nothing to hide under the infiltration of the rat people, which makes the excellent physical functions of the rat people worthless in comparison.After all, despite their agility, the Ratman's body is far less rigid than a soldier wearing heavy armor. If you equip the Ratman with armor so that they can gain defense while sacrificing their speed advantage, it is better to go directly to an ordinary soldier. warrior.In short, any commander with common sense would not let such a soldier be an assaulter on the frontal battlefield.

And the facts seem to support Lothar's conclusion. Although they gained an advantage because of their terrifying appearance and sudden attack, as the humans had time to gain a foothold, the Ratman's attack became extremely inefficient. War of attrition.As far as the Earl of Montenegro could see, there were rat-man corpses everywhere in front of and behind the line of defense composed of human soldiers, while the soldiers who retreated into Zhuoliu Town and acted in small groups had few casualties. From this point of view, resisting this assault should be just a matter of time. time issue.In this way, there is only one thing left that puzzled Lothar in this battle.

The Earl of Montenegro found a middle-level officer among the bear hunters. His troops were in charge of the outer defense of Zhuoliu Town when the Ratmen attacked.Seeing Lothar approaching in person, the officer instinctively thought that the Earl was going to be held accountable for the fall of the outer part, but Lothar quickly expressed that he had no intention of pursuing this matter for the time being. Instead, the Earl asked a listener It seems that it is not a problem that is not relevant to the situation at this time.

"Did you see those monsters eating people?" Lothar asked.

The officer subconsciously wanted to say yes. After all, the ferocious appearance of the native ratmen and their blood-eating behavior made it hard to believe that they would not touch the corpses of those soldiers.But just when he was about to answer this question, the officer calmed down due to the perennial majesty of the Earl of Montenegro. He pretended to be thinking, and tried hard to find the picture of the rat man devouring a human body in his chaotic memory. .But after about ten breaths, that was all he could answer.

"I think they are eating people, but I don't see it directly, my lord."

Getting the answer from the other party also confirmed the last doubt in Lothar's heart.Gregory, who was looking for the count among the soldiers, just came over at this time, and he also heard the officer's answer.

"Does it matter whether these monsters eat people?" Gregory asked.

Lothar glanced up at this person, although he agreed to Gregory's suggestion in the process of suggesting the isolation of Leon and others, and even presided over the trial of the cheese, but that is all necessary as a lord made.These actions only showed that the Earl of Montenegro did not protect Leon and the others, but it did not mean that he liked Gregory who took the opportunity to get rid of his chief.But now Leon can't come back directly to take over the command of the Knights of the Kingdom, so Lothar still has to explain his thoughts to the other party patiently.

"If they eat people, I can understand that these monsters are attacking Zhuoliu Town because of hunger. If so, then their hunger should make them eager to eat every person they throw down. But they don't, maybe These rats will really eat human flesh, I have no doubts about it, but since they didn't enjoy their lunch in the first place, then why they came to attack us is a question," said the count.

"Maybe...they want to eat after we're all killed?" Gregory hesitated and said.

Yeah, maybe they want to sprinkle some more seasoning on us before the meal.What a complete fool, hungry beasts don't care what order they eat.Leon would trust this guy and he deserved to be framed.The Count of Montenegro thought in his heart.But although he felt disdain for Gregory's slow reaction in his heart, on the battlefield, Lothar knew how to deal with such an ally who couldn't keep up with him. At least, he would not show his disdain for the opponent.

"Maybe, but I tend to think that these rats will attack us because they were driven by someone." As he spoke, the earl tilted his head and gestured to the ratmen who had fallen to the ground and hadn't died yet. And a faint black smoke came out.

"You mean, someone ordered these monsters 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 are so right!" Lothar said In Gregory's eyes, the inference changed completely. The knight happily thought that he had found a "criminal evidence" that could be passed on Cheese's head, and Leon, who brought him, could not escape the blame.

Squinting his eyes to resist the strong urge to smash this idiot full of power and filth with an axe, Lothar chose not to communicate with Gregory. In his opinion, this person is completely useless, because even There are such people in the Knights of the Kingdom. The Earl of Montenegro himself never wanted to get the title of knight. That glorious title has been spoiled by too many people like this.

Just as he was thinking this way, an extremely loud sound suddenly came out from the battle field. It felt like someone had hit the city wall with a battering hammer.Without saying a word, Lothar immediately got on his horse and went to the place where the sound was made. On that not-so-spacious street, he saw the source of the sound. It was a rat-man variant called a giant rat-man by Cheese and the others, but Compared with the two-meter-tall giant Ratmen seen in Xigu City, the guy standing on the street and throwing the bear hunter soldiers around like stones on the roadside was 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.
