A strange world

Chapter 331 Chapter 184. Rat Tide

It took the elements and soldiers fifteen minutes from the time the blue dragon's landing portal opened to the battle line being pushed near the low wall, but they could no longer advance.

The endless tide of brown rats climbed into the low wall. The piled rat carcasses blocked the firing range of the musketeers and allowed the rear rats to fall from high places.

The large earth elemental blocking the front row was damaged, and the insidious elite ratmen mixed in with the rat tide, using their sharp weapons to knock off the earth elemental's armor.

Fortunately, the search from the rear became faster and faster, and hundreds of residents were rescued from houses, cellars and docks.

After confirming that no survivors had been missed, Fast, the captain of the supervising team, blew the ancient horn from the Northern Family.

As the front shrinks, the pressure on the elements decreases sharply. Fast observed the sea and said: "There are still some survivors on the sea..."

Annan remembered what the timid girl said: "Are there women and children on board?"

"They are all men..."

"I think they'll be fine."

"Keep firing!" Fermi shouted as he retreated from the front line: "Don't let me see you still have bullets in the chamber when I go back!"

"Shoot all your bullets!" Losey commanded, not to be outdone.

The ammunition bags of the musketeers were allotted fifty rounds of ammunition. Except for a few unlucky ones who encountered jamming and trigger failure, most of the ammunition bags were almost empty.

The injured musketeers were the first to retreat to the portal, and then the ones who emptied their ammunition bags. When it was the turn of all the musketeers to retreat, they casually pulled the triggers towards the distant rat tide, not caring whether any unlucky ratmen would be killed. I don’t care whether it counts as meritorious service or not.

After all the musketeers retreated into the portal, it was the turn of the supervising team. This special team holding the eternal magic stone also served as a record of the soldiers' meritorious service.

Finally there are the elements. Let the fire elements release the wall of fire together to give the rat people a parting gift. Annan closed the portal and climbed on the dragon's back.

Ilimayas waved her dragon wings and flew into the air, and the surging black wave swallowed the ground in an instant.

The rat men who stepped across more than twenty walls of fire turned into torches, and their rough cilia were just enough to ignite the surrounding companions. The burning rat-men squeaked and threw themselves at the sea water.

Ratmen can swim, but when tens of thousands of ratmen threw themselves into the sea water, the ratmen who extinguished the flames tried to climb ashore but were pushed into the deep sea by their companions, and finally sank into the ocean exhausted.

Annan looked down at the chaotic rat tide on the ground. This wave of parting gifts was probably more rat men than they killed in the fifteen minutes of their special operation.

It's just that the rat people will approach Xingyue Bay after a blizzard. Winter has arrived by then, and the flames will no longer have this effect, and the cold in November will not freeze the rat people to death... unless they use the eighth-level spell, blizzard.

And there are no rats above elite ratmen in this rat tide... Are they concentrated in the direction of Betar City and Breeze City? Or are these rats just forwards?

Finally, looking at the waves of hatred, the shallow sea stained with dirty colors, and the survivors floating on the sea waving, Annan patted the dragon on the back.

Ilimayas flew north over Glacier Port.

…

After admitting hundreds of survivors, the empty houses in Xingyue Bay are finally approaching saturation.

They were too close to the rat men, and some of them were injured by the rat men in order to prevent the spread of the plague. They were isolated in the mansion together with all the soldiers and received treatment from the mage.

Ingrid took her assistants to count the casualties, and couldn't help but miss the priests before the turmoil. Their divine spells were much easier to use than the wizards' healing spells.

"No musketeers were killed, but seventeen soldiers were wounded..."

Ingrid reported the results to Annan who came back, but the price was that the seven large earth elements would disappear forever.

The element summoned by the magic ring is just a projection, but when it is pulled out by Annan's "lower summoning technique", it becomes its true body. Their death means true disappearance, causing the earth element content of Allen's continent to permanently increase.

"Erect seven tombstones for them in the cemetery." Annan sighed.

"Earth element?"

"They are also territorial citizens."

Although Annan never succeeded in communicating with the elements.

Annan and Ingrid visited the injured in the hospital and then in the quarantine camp.

The Musketeers were excitedly discussing the rescue. They experienced real battles and rescued hundreds of people -

"Why is your ammo bag still full?"

"Forget it, my rifle jammed just after firing the third round!" The young soldier complained and slapped the gun body.

"You must not be praying to the God of Guns."

"I believe in the goddess of magic..."

"Hell, you don't even have magic affinity!"

"What if I have faith? Then the bullets I shoot will be enchanted by the goddess of magic... I see those elite mice are so greedy."

"They are also very greedy for you."

The soldiers were undeterred by the endless swarm of rats. This scene made Annan so happy that he even wanted to form a third musketeer team. Then we gave up due to the impending fiscal deficit. The Musketeers are suitable for proactive attacks and individual combat. To defend the city, you still have to choose magic artillery.

Annan found Hellfire's captain Femi, who was slumped with a bunch of "centurion" musketeers without any image. Annan's arrival made them scramble to get up and wipe the dust off their achievements.

"Lord Annan!"

"How do you feel?" Annan asked.

"It's much more accomplished than catching rats on the coast, that's..."

"What?"

This fierce and cruel man on the battlefield changed his face and showed a simple smile: "It's too slow to shoot one shot at a time. Do you have any good ideas to keep the musket firing?"

It took them a long time to get the bright red blood... If they had this kind of musket, they could make the ratmen unable to even touch the city wall!

"There will be."

Without improving the technology, the rotating barrel gun meets the most demanding needs. However, Annan is not planning to develop it for the time being - the same reason why he did not form a third musketry team: no money and inferior artillery.

But Fermi's idea reminded Annan of something: "You often fight with the rat people, so if you have any similar ideas, just talk to Bronzebeard. By the way, pick the one hundred most heroic people, and I will give them a secret mission." .”

Next, Annan said this to Luo Xi and found that Luo Xi wanted to follow.

"I am one of the hundred most brave people!" Losi proudly patted the bright red blood on his plate armor.

Annan asked them to join the Hellfire elite outside the camp. Losi arrived and found that Femi was also there... They both had the same idea.

Next, Annan's arrangements were presented one after another. A white dragon fell. The war supervisors appeared holding the Eternal Magic Stone and several carts of ammunition boxes. Mr. Fast commanded the earth elements to surround the white dragon, the musketeers to surround the earth elements, and the water elements to surround them. The musketeers surrounded the white dragon in anticipation, as if the rat men were about to emerge from the ground...

But why do you want several chefs to come and cook in front of Bailong...?
