Chapter 78 Please come with me to the Netherworld!
"The Sheriff, the Sheriff is in trouble..."

Yingchuan County, Wuyang City.

A county soldier covered in blood ran toward the city wall with a cry.

On the city wall, body parts were everywhere.

Most of them are human, with only an occasional rat visible.

Staggering to the side of a general who had broken his arm, the soldier said in a tearful voice: "Chief Commander, the East City has been lost. Those rats and birds have broken into the city."

"what!"

The county guard, who had already lost his arm and was seriously injured, heard that Dongcheng had been lost and that rats had broken into the city. His body that had just stood up staggered, his vision went dark, and he fell down.

"The Sheriff, the Sheriff..."

The surrounding officers and soldiers became nervous for a while, helped him up, and pressed his body hard.

Slowly waking up from his coma and seeing the soldiers staring closely at him, the county guard was silent for a while and said to the only surviving officer next to him: "Help me up!"

Several officers and soldiers quickly helped him up.

Holding a bronze sword full of gaps in his hand, the county guard said to the surrounding soldiers: "Brothers, if the enemy attacks the city, I may ask you to give up resistance and break through, or surrender."

"But today I can't."

Pointing to the bottom of the city, "There are beasts and monsters there. They have no wisdom and no humanity. Giving up resistance will only become their food."

"Brothers, we have no way to retreat. We can only use our humble lives to buy a little time for the old, young, women and children behind us."

"I don't know when the imperial reinforcements will arrive, but I hope we can bring them a glimmer of hope before we die."

After saying that, he hit the bronze sword with a wave of his hand, and the county guard roared loudly, "Not for the court, not for the county, not for us, just to kill a way out for the young sons and to fight for a chance of survival for them. Please join us. Let’s go to the underworld together and kill!”

"Give me a chance to survive for my wife and children, kill!"

A young man who went to the city wall to help thought of his wife and a pair of children under the city wall.He roared angrily, brandished the bronze ax in his hand, and rushed down the city wall with the governor, preparing to use his life and body to fight for the short time for his wife and children.

The east city was destroyed, and dense rats poured into the city, frantically preying on any life they saw.

The people, who had nowhere to escape, cried and screamed and fell under the mouse's mouth.

There were even those who were not bitten to death on the spot. They watched in fear as their bodies were being swallowed bit by bit.

Screams, roars, and cries, all in one.

"Evacuate to the Sheriff's Mansion, all go to the Sheriff's Mansion..."

The magistrate, who had lost his arm, led the few remaining soldiers and young men, blocking the attack of the rats with their lives, while shouting for the people in the city to go to the magistrate's house.

If they are outside officials and have no sense of responsibility, they will definitely not care about the life and death of these people.

But this county guard grew up in this city, and everyone in the city was related to him.

Because of this, with just a call from him, the young men in the city followed him up the city wall to resist these rats.

These rats arrived yesterday. It was the first time they saw this kind of monster. The county guard was also shocked.

Seeking help from outside was hopeless, so he could only recruit young and strong soldiers in the city, thinking of resisting for a while and waiting for the court's rescue.

But he thought too highly of himself. The rats launched their attack in the morning.

These guys didn't even use digging holes, which they were best at, and directly climbed the city wall to attack.

In less than half an hour, the entire city's defense completely collapsed.

There were nearly a thousand young and strong soldiers on guard, but less than two hundred survived.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. The bronze weapon in the soldier's hand struck the mouse, not to mention damaging its life. The skin was broken and not even a hair was cut off.

On the other hand, the defenders were unable to withstand the opponent's collision and swiping claws.

"I can't save you. The county guard will take care of my wife and children!"

The last officer guarding the city saw more and more soldiers falling down, and the number of rats was also increasing.

Seeing that the county guard was also surrounded, he roared angrily, knocked away two mice with his body, hugged one and held it down, trying to find a way out for the county guard, and roared at him to take the people away quickly.

"Ye Dan!"

"retreat."

Seeing the officer whose body was cut into pieces by a few clicks of the mouse, the county guard shouted with red eyes to ask the people who had been rescued by the soldiers to retreat to the county guard's house.

"Chichichichi..." But the mice would never let go of their prey. One of the rats in the group, with a strand of yellow hair on its head, squeaked a few times in the distance.

The ground where the Sheriff and others retreated suddenly collapsed, and dozens of rats jumped out, surrounding them.

"hateful!"

The Sheriff's Mansion was right in front of them, but the group's life was cut off. The Sheriff's body was trembling with anger.

It’s just a little bit close, just a little bit close!

Although he knew that the Sheriff's Mansion could not stop him for long, there was still a glimmer of hope.

Now it's all gone.

The remaining dozens of young men and soldiers formed a circle, blocking the county guard and the dozens of rescued civilians behind them, and nervously stared at the giant rat that was slowly approaching.

"Woooo..."

"Be good, don't be afraid that grandma is here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

There were bursts of whimpering from the crowd behind them, and the children were so frightened that they cried loudly. Women and elderly people hugged their children tightly, their bodies shaking because of fear, but they whispered comfort on their lips.

"Chi Chi Chi..."

A burst of rat barking sounded again, and the rats surrounding the county guard and others began to stir and slowly pressed forward.

"call!"

Taking a deep breath of bloody air and holding on to his body's weakness, the county guard pushed away the soldiers blocking him.

As the governor of a county, he did not allow people to die in front of him.

"Your Majesty, please avenge us."

Glancing in the direction of Chang'an, the county guard roared angrily, picked up the broken bronze sword, and was about to fight these old men for the final time.

"Buzzing..."

Just as the two parties moved, a strange sound came from the air.

"Chi Chi Chi..."

There was a rapid cry, and the rats that were about to attack stopped again, with their hair standing on end, and looked at the place where the sound came from.

Seeing this scene, the county guard and others did not dare to move. They stood in front of the old, young, women and children, and were wary of the rats on the opposite side.

"This is the blue bird, a large number of rats have been found in Wuyang City."

A monoplane fighter flew across the sky. The pilot looked down with a telescope, turned on the radio, and reported the situation here.

"The main station has received it, continue the investigation!"

A reply came quickly from the other side.

The pilot turned off the radio and was about to pull up the nose of the plane to investigate other places. He glanced at the center of the city and saw people surrounded by rats.

"Headquarters, main station, Blue Bird has found the survivors, and a large number of rats are besieging them. May I ask if you can launch an attack and rescue them."

"Launch an attack, open a way out for them, and tell them that reinforcements will arrive immediately."

"Bluebird received it!"

After receiving approval for the attack, the pilot pulled the control stick and the plane, which was originally headed elsewhere, turned around and flew toward the center of the city.

At the same time, the pilot turned on the additional microphone and shouted below: "Reinforcements are about to arrive. I will open a way out for you first. Target the building on the left."

The county guard, who was staring blankly at the huge iron bird in the sky that could fly without moving its wings, suddenly heard human voices and was extremely shocked.

This strange bird can actually speak human language.

Although what the other party said was not very standard, he could still make a rough guess without even guessing.

The strange bird seemed to be saying that reinforcements were about to arrive and would open some way for them.

However, before the county guard could figure it out, the iron bird rushed over their heads, turned in a different direction, and came towards them again.

He estimated the distance in his mind, and after confirming that it was about the same, the pilot pressed a button on the control handle.

"Da da da da..."

Several tongues of fire spurted out from both wings. Those rats that were difficult to cut with swords had bloody holes appear on their bodies under the whip of the tongues of fire. They screamed and twitched and fell to the ground.
