The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 24 Ringtones
"Master! It's foggy!"

Ickert was about to explain the principle of the magic circle to little Sasha, but was stopped by Aris' eager and suppressed voice.

Looking around, I don't know when, the forest has been covered with a thin layer of mist. Wherever the eyes can see, all the scenery is gradually being swallowed, first blurred, and then can no longer be seen clearly.

The thin mist also became thicker as time went by.

Anyone would feel that something was wrong with such a weird scene, but due to the effect of the magic circle, Ickert could no longer know whether the fog was activated by magic.

He could only mobilize the defense silently, and the 20 crossbow rats got the order and began to turn the winch to wind the crossbow.

The other ratmen used their vehicles as cover and turned the camp into a hedgehog formation with their spears.

The others didn't want to sit still and set up their spears after being mobilized by Ickert.

Both the man and the rat stared at the thick fog in front of their eyes, and no one knew what would come out of it.

However, everyone waited for a long time with tense nerves, but nothing happened. At this time, some people could not bear the long-term tension and became relaxed.

The same is true for Ickert. Human energy is limited after all. If worrying is useless, he is more inclined to take a break.

However, a melodious ringtone made him tremble!
Jingle bell~
The ringtone itself is not very eerie, but in such a tense atmosphere, it will inevitably make people's adrenaline soar.

The spear rats swallowed their saliva, tightened their spear shafts, and looked around, while the crossbow rats unconsciously loaded their crossbow bolts, their fingers on the trigger, and their eyes locked forward.

Jingle bell~
The bell rang again, and each sound hit Sasha's heart like a heavy hammer. She had already recognized it, and this was the bell that night!
"They're coming! They're coming!"

The frightened little Sasha bit the hem of Ikert's windbreaker. She was sensible and knew very well that no matter how frightened she was, she could no longer speak indiscriminately.

Ickert let little Sasha hug him and tremble, and one hand was already on the hilt of the sword.

I don't know if his sword can solve the next crisis.

The weird ringing ended after thirteen rings, no more, no less.

"Thirteen! Damn thirteen! It's not a good thing to have anything to do with that number!"

Ickert cursed in his heart, it would be fine if the bell rang twelve or fourteen times, but why it was thirteen!
Why is it always thirteen!

After the bell rang, there was a different sound in the forest.

The sound at this time was still a little fuzzy, and to everyone's ears, it seemed that a large group of people were coming here from afar.

For a moment, it seemed that the forest was full of banquets, people everywhere, and life everywhere.

If it wasn't for Ickert's determination to keep his subordinates silent, the leaders couldn't help but say hello!
Most people breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, as long as they are of the same kind, it will be easy to handle.

The noisy voices came from far to near, and after an unknown period of time, a faint blue light began to appear faintly in the dense fog.

A farmer thought it was the light of a lantern, but only saw that the blue light spot turned into two in a short while, and then three more and more, more and more, and continued to extend into the distance until all the light spots connected into one. a line
Then the nearby light spots became two, and the blue line in the distance "grows" endlessly, and after the blue line is another blue line, endless blue waves rushing towards the camp.
If they are waves, then Ikett is the island reef.

When the thin blue line reached everyone, how could they see any human beings!Some are only undead with blue light shining from their eyes!The body is clinging to the flesh that has not completely rotted!
That noisy "human voice" is just the unconscious roar of the undead!

"Master Clan Head! Do you want to shoot arrows?"

Looking at the huge undead army that can only be described as a natural disaster, Genil couldn't sit still anymore. Of course, he didn't think that he could do anything with the limited crossbowmen in his hands.

So what if all the thousands of crossbow arrows are shot?This is no longer an army that the living can contend with!
"Hold on, don't shoot arrows without my order! Shoot all the crossbow arrows!"

"As you order, Clan Chief."

No one, and no mouse wants to try the quality of the undead army at this time. Their only hope at this time is the magic circle arranged by the lord.

The undead walked crookedly and approached the camp step by step. From time to time, some undead lost their balance and fell to the ground. At this time, it either got up quickly, or was trampled to death by the continuous undead behind.

However, no matter what the creatures in the camp expected, the magic circle seemed to have no effect. Little Sasha finally mustered up the courage to open her eyes, but unexpectedly saw the undead very close at hand!

There are spears like forests, and these undead seem to want to have close contact with them!
"Fit arrows! Change to killing arrows!"

Although he knew that the crossbow arrows had little effect on undead creatures, but until now, Ickert could only use all his firepower as much as possible in order to gain a chance of survival.

The Ratmen put the huge killing arrows into the quiver slots. This kind of big ax-shaped arrows was originally used to kill unarmored and lightly armored targets, and it was just right for the undead whose weaknesses were not obvious.

But in the final analysis, it is hard to say whether their crossbow arrows can accurately hit the undead. Even if they are hit, it seems that piercing a pile of rotten meat that has already rotted does not cause much damage.

"Aim for the head!"

Ickert's order came again, and the crossbow rats aimed at the heads of these undead based on their own experience. At the same time, the spearman was also ordered to do everything possible to set aside the undead.

Cold sweat had soaked Ickert's back, and the magic circle he had worked so hard to set up seemed useless, making him look like a clown!
Now, how can he fight against the army of undead that can't be seen at a glance?
The faint blue waves moved forward, forward, step by step, bit by bit towards Ikett's heart!

pat!

The skull of the undead has hit the spearhead of the Ratman!
The Ratmen in the first row had completely lost their fighting spirit under such desperate pressure, and were so frightened that they stopped in place and did not dare to move!

"I lost the bet?"

No!Ickert rubbed his eyes and found that he hadn't lost yet!

It turned out that the spear extended a certain distance from the chariot formation, just beyond the bounds of the enchantment!

"Retract the spear! Retract the spear!"

Ickert, who finally discovered the loophole, ordered loudly, there is no need to worry about the sound spreading far away, because the noise of the undead will overwhelm everything!
And when all the spears were retracted, the effect of the magic circle began to show!
The undead suddenly changed their direction of travel, they turned a blind eye to the delicious and juicy creatures in front of them, and walked around the enchantment through the car formation!
A stubborn stone in the turbulent river, at this time it can be used to describe the car formation in the wave of undead.

"Teacher! This is!!!"

Little Sasha couldn't hide her inner excitement. The catastrophic ocean of undead was so easily resolved by his teacher!

The teacher is amazing!
At this point, Ickert's impression in little Sasha's heart suddenly became stalwart!
"Don't get excited, you still have a lot to learn!"

After Ickert finished speaking, he raised his left hand towards the crossbow rats in the distance, took a deep breath, and then put it down suddenly!

"Fire arrows!"

The crossbow rats who had been waiting for a long time pulled the trigger subconsciously, and twenty crossbow arrows roared and shot towards the sea of ​​undead, smashing the skulls of several undead!

The undead whose skull was shattered immediately fell to the ground, and the blue light in his eyes dimmed and gradually disappeared.

But even so, their bodies can still twitch in place.

Fortunately, even if the crossbow rats were so provocative, the undead had no intention of revenge at all. The rat people instantly became more courageous, and they were no longer so panicked. The leaders were also greatly encouraged.

Lord Faye!It is reliable!
Ikert, on the other hand, threw up his windbreaker and walked towards his tent without looking back.
