A strange world

Chapter 836 Chapter 67. The hero always appears at the end

Fermi called Belial, Ymir, and Blom to him.

No one knows whether the Ratmen will find a way to knock the "hive" open, and they have to delay this for the last hour.

Belial said: "Don't you have any way to contact Liberty City?"

"This is Lord Annan's talent." Femi replied.

"Then pray that your Lord Annan still remembers you..."

Fermi ignored the topic: "We have no retreat. Before six o'clock, we must ensure that the rat men will not come in."

But the painful thing is that it seems as if the God of Time is against them... It has only been less than ten minutes since they withdrew. as well as……

"what sound?"

A dull sound, like the rustle of wind blowing through the forest, sounded faintly underground.

They listened attentively——

"They are digging into the mountain..." Belial suddenly said, "This is how they got from the ground to the streets of Brunmando Castle."

"The rock formations here are very thick..." Blom hesitated.

"Are you looking down on the mouse's burrowing talent?"

Well, Blom thought of the huge cavity beneath Breeze City... If it hadn't been discovered by Annan, Breeze City would have ceased to exist... even now.

Adjutant Walter turned around, walked towards them, and handed a stack of notes to Fermi.

"These are suicide notes from soldiers who are worried they won't have a chance to go back."

Femi took the suicide note, thought for a moment and took out a more formal suicide note with an envelope, put it together and handed it to Ymir.

"You have the best chance of escaping among us... If the basement is lost, we will hold off the rat men and give you time to leave."

Ymir took the suicide note, and Belial sighed: "You are stronger than many knights I have seen."

The adjutant smiled bitterly and said: "There are rat men everywhere, and we can't evacuate even if we want to."

There is also the order to "hold on until August 12th" hanging above my head... I don't know if it counts as disobedience now.

"It's different. Do you know what it was like in the last moments of Brunmando Castle? The city wall fell, and the nobles recalled their private soldiers and asked them to escort them to escape. The gangsters took advantage of the Ratmen's invasion to plunder property wantonly. Rape women and children. The rich man put himself in a perfectly built shelter. Brunmando Castle was supposed to last for at least five days, but it was captured by the rat men in three days!"

Belial was once a minor nobleman, but now he just wants to spurn his former self.

"We can talk about these things after we get out alive." Fermi interrupted them, "We must hold on for another fifty minutes."

In the brief silence, the rustling sounds all around were clearer than three minutes ago.

"It's not up to us," Blom said. "Whether we can hold out for fifty minutes depends on whether the rat people want us to die quickly..."

There are no more than ten mages who can still stand up. They have no means to stop the evil energy...

"I have a way, but you have to believe in me." Belial said.

"I now give you the position of staff officer of the Hellfire Legion." Fermi proved his trust with actions.

Belial expressed his thoughts: "We will resist normally after the passage is dug, but if the soldiers deliberately cough and wail, we must not let the rat people think that we still have hope... In this way, everyone who squeezes in will be Greedy Rat Man.”

"It's best if someone takes the initiative to die and plays out the scene..." Belial moved his lips, but did not say this sentence in the end.

Belial tried to be cold, but he really couldn't let those young faces die for his words... Even if he had an illusion, as long as he said so, they would really die to let their companions live. Sacrifice yourself.

"Let everyone do what Belial said." Fermi and the adjutant said.

The adjutant gathered the dozens of people who coughed the loudest - the most seriously ill ones couldn't cough loudly.

After all this is done, there are still forty minutes.

The rustling sound came closer, it was a creepy sound like countless teeth gnawing something.

The warriors gathered in front of the passage where the sound of digging was closest, preparing to give the ratmen a severe blow.

Good thing they're not digging from above their heads. Otherwise, they would not be able to resist the rat people anyway.

"Remember, don't roar, don't shout, don't do anything to boost morale, imagine that you are a group of defeated troops with no hope..." Belial warned for the last time.

They don't think it's useful, but there's no cost anyway...

Bang - bang - bang -

The mud wall blocking the passage began to loosen significantly. Ymir gave them a final layer of blessing.

"Let me show you—"

Belial held the big sword close to the loose soil, and when he suddenly opened a hole and drilled out the rat man's hideous head——

"Help! They're coming in!"

Belial let out a shrill scream like a woman while stabbing the sword into the rat man's head.

There were more and more holes, and Belial retreated to the rear, letting the heavily armored orcs stand in front.

The "music band" standing nearby began to cough one after another.

The rat people's eyes flashed scarlet, and they excitedly rushed towards the group of weak humans. They were greeted by powerful slashes——

Many ratmen died with their eyes open. It was obvious that the human things were coughing, so why did they move so fast...

Rat corpses were piled in the passage. The rat people tore the corpses of their companions and stuffed them into their mouths while rushing forward and turning them into food.

Belial is right!

There were still thirty minutes until dusk.

They thought they could hold out until the portal opened, but the ratmen in the passage suddenly changed from slave rats to elite rats.

The coughing and wailing of the human stuff had never stopped from the beginning to now, but they died in groups, but the humans were fine... No matter how stupid the ratmen were, they should know what was going on.

The ratmen pouring into the passage changed from slave rats to elite rats. In addition to the cans being more difficult to open, they did not eat, but pushed the bodies into the basement.

The warriors fought desperately for the passage, but the balance of victory fell to the ratmen as the elite rats rushed in desperately, stretched the defense line, and fell to the ratmen.

They still had twenty minutes.

But there was no way to retreat.

Lockeron's magic musket aimed at an elite rat, and stopped because of the soldiers who were fighting with it.

Noticing him, the warrior suddenly hugged the elite rat and roared: "Shoot!"

Bang——

The gunshot rang out, and the smoke was annihilated in the chaotic basement.

Everyone was fighting, even Broken Tooth took Miller into the rat group, sneaking up on the unsuspecting fellow rats with their backs turned to them -

At this time, they could no longer care about accidental injuries.

But more and more ratmen were pouring in...

There were only ten minutes left...ten minutes like a natural moat.

Femi, covered in blood, cut off the head of an elite rat with its back turned to him, raised his head and looked at Ymir who was standing with the anchor: "We can't hold on...Ymir, we will cover you to leave."

The elf wizard began to cast a spell. The rats didn't know what she was going to do, but they rushed up to stop her.

An elite rat rushed in with a fishy wind -

The suddenly appearing arched portal cut it in half.
