Alien world

Chapter 139. 138. Ratman Defense Battle

The much-anticipated Reeves family motorcade drove out of the west gate of Breeze City.

The news that Annan Reeves will set off to explore the western coast has spread throughout Breeze City, and even "The Fall of the Mage Tower" has also attracted attention.

Before leaving, he handed "The Fall of the Mage Tower" to Michael, François and Bronzebeard.

Breeze City gradually disappeared into the depths of the forest sea, but it did not make people feel lonely far away from civilization, because more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages and cavalry formed a nearly [-]-meter-long convoy on the road.

The two master professionals in the team, Reynold the Reckless, rode a Thunder Lizard horse and followed Annan's carriage, the centurion, the scavenger, sat in the carriage in front, and the caster sat in the carriage behind.The private soldiers of the Lawrence family and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion surrounded them.

These people are more than enough to slay dragons.

Speaking of dragon slaying... Annan hasn't tried what would happen if he released two low-level summoning spells in a row.Summon the blue dragon once and call Della or Wood once?Or will there be two rifts?
The distant snow-capped mountains outside the car window seemed to be walking with them. Farmers were harvesting crops in the golden wheat fields where scarecrows stood, and soldiers guarding against ratmen patrolled the field ridges, paying attention to this unusual convoy.

And as it gradually moved away from the Breeze City, the surrounding structures became less and less, and the fields were gradually replaced by dense and tall forests.

Annan's eyes fell to the depths of the passing forest.

This team should make the Rat Man back, which is the best, but Annan felt that the Rat Man would not let him reach the territory.

It would be meaningless for Augusta Olmedo to use the territory as an excuse to let Annan leave Breeze City.

Annan invited the reckless Reynolds and the captain of the guards to come to the carriage and unfold the map brought out from the city lord's mansion.

It is about 900 miles from Breeze City to Glacier Bay. It takes about a week for a normal caravan, but it will take them almost three days to arrive.There are no passes or basins where traps and ambushes can easily be laid.

Reckless Reynolds said that the rangers were twenty miles ahead of the convoy, and they could find the Ratman in advance.

As soon as he and the captain of the guard returned to the horse, there was sudden confusion behind the team: a floating figure chased the team.

"Instructor Yrilanzer?"

Annan recognized the figure, and let her join the team after the accompanying mage cast a detection spell to confirm that there was no disguise or bewitchment.

Thankfully, the elf mentor rushed to Annan after returning to the carriage: "Boy, why didn't you take me with you?"

Annan was grabbed by the collar, and his intellectual and fanatical cheek was pressed against the tip of his nose.

"...I just went to take over the territory and will come back."

"Michael said you asked a lot of people for help, but you didn't come to me. Do you think I'm a problem?"

"...Because you've helped me so much, I'm worried that it won't be enough..."

"Don't worry, you have many ways to pay off, such as..." Annan felt the hand on the collar start to pick up the buttons.

"I'm still young."

"I can teach you Transfiguration—"

"I mean age...you don't want to be caught by the elves again, do you?"

The elf teacher finally calmed down a bit, returning to his intellectual and knowledgeable appearance.

In any case, the presence of the Elven Mentor has eased the atmosphere in the team—because there is a third master professional in the team.

But Annan's worries were gradually increasing, because the team had marched so far, and hadn't even encountered the Ratmen wandering around Breeze City, as if they were avoiding them.

how can that be……

In the afterglow of the evening, the convoy passed a vast wheat field.This is Sunset Plain, the outermost farmland of Breeze City.

At this time, the scouts who were supposed to be in front rushed back and found a large number of ratmen.

Annan decisively let the guard captain take over the team.

"Build defenses in place! Scouts look for rescue!"

Following the order of Olmedo's cronies, the elongated convoy gathered around Annan's position and set up a defensive line.

And in the afterglow of the bloody sunset, the heavy wheat field has strange ripples...

The first skaven got out of the wheat field and was brought back into the field by several arrows, but more skaven came out of the wheat field like a tide.

The sound of arrows was quickly suppressed by the screams of the rat people.

"Warrior on top!"

The soldiers approached the perimeter of the defense line and began to meet the Ratmen.

The mage and ranger concentrate on attacking the rear row of rats, creating faults to reduce the pressure on the front.Occasionally falling fireballs blasted a cavity, but new ratmen flooded in in an instant.

As night fell, the lighting technique replaced the setting sun to illuminate this land of killing and death.

Countless ratmen died every second. From evening to late night, the warriors wielded knives and spears gradually became dull, but the tide of rats was still endless.Bodies began to pile up, and they were forced to start shrinking the front.

And the Ratman professional has not yet appeared.

"This is simply a defensive battle..." The captain of the guard cursed in a low voice, and asked Annan for instructions: "Master King of the North, we must set fire to these wheat fields..."

"go a head."

Otherwise, these wheat fields will also be polluted.

"Prepare fire arrows!"

The captain of the guard ordered: "Let go!"

More than a dozen fire arrows flew across an arc and fell towards the wheat field behind Shu Chao.

The flames spread rapidly, accompanied by burning silhouettes and screams, presenting a picture of hell.

The elf teacher stood in front of the carriage at this moment, and the vast magic vortex surged, causing thick smoke and flames to bypass the team and accelerate to the wheat fields and distant forests.

The flames burned the sky a terrifying orange.The death of a large number of trees will attract druids, who may pursue trouble, but will save them first.

"Is the Scavenger Headquarters ready to attack?" Annan asked the centurion who hadn't made a move yet.

"No, the Ratmen are more malicious towards Breeze City."

Annan thought he was the bait, but he was not.

Their ultimate goal of attacking Levi's and Annan is to capture Breeze City, which is the core of everything.

Countless ratmen died tragically in the flames, and the elder ratmen who manipulated the attack finally sent out a new ratman—a giant squirrel emerged from the flames. The flames did little damage to it, but its hair was ignited, violently messing up the surrounding area. The fleeing Ratman was crushed into a pulp and rushed towards the team.

But the squirrel, which was close to three meters, looked like a child in front of the ogre, and was easily dealt with by the ogre.Then, hordes of rogues emerged.

"Why are there so many ratmen hiding in the northern border..." Annan whispered.

And right under the nose of Breeze City.

"Knights ready!"

In the roar of the captain of the guards, all the knights got on their horses, and the special envoy knights handed over the king's documents and the development order to Annan, and also joined the cavalry.

"We are not far from Breeze City, hold on until support arrives!"

Reckless Raynor cheers up his weary men.

But at this moment, all the rat people suddenly stopped and started to back away, as if abandoning them.

The cavalry dragged their wounded comrades back to the line of defense, "Have we survived?" While they were still thinking this way, Annan saw a figure stepping out of the flames.

The surrounding flames jumped and rejoiced with the figure, and those blue eyes were dotted with blood and fire.

"Augusta Olmedo..."
