The large magic steel shield is at the front, the crossbowmen and pikemen take turns to go into battle, and the mage casts spells and assists at the back,

Relying on the advantages of the terrain, the soldiers of the Emerald Collar successfully blocked the crazy rat tide from the ruins, giving the more than 300 people in the ruins a chance to breathe.

"Elements oscillate, which has never happened before."

In the absence of Meredith, the mage Uzar of the Black Rose tried to use a crystal ball to send messages to Meredith, but found that the magic element was severely disturbed and could not transmit information stably at all. The male mage looked dignified drop the crystal ball.

"What is certain is that within a kilometer range, there is a powerful source of magical interference, which not only makes the magic power out of control, but also affects the state of the Ratman. In previous battles, the Ratman has never had such a Crazy unified offensive behavior."

Looking at the big rats that died fearlessly at the pass of the fortress, Lester understood that the male mage was telling the truth.

The appearance of the rat man is simply immortal.

Leste, who could feel the magic chaos, nodded, expressing his approval of the male mage's words. The man looked at Morris and the other four nightblade killers, and said in a deep voice.

"Have you obtained any information about the number of ratmen in your previous exploration operations?"

"There are some inaccurate guesses."

Recalling the dense gnawing marks he saw when he went deep into the ground, Morris looked a little grim.

"Judging from the traces of activity, there are about 5,000 rats in a large rat nest in the underground Ratman, and more than 2,000 ratmen in a small rat nest. In the past five years, we have destroyed six large rat nests and nine small rat nests. nest,

If those Ratmen killed by us are regarded as abandoned sons of Ratmen, it is conservatively estimated that there will be more Ratmen still alive, and the number of Ratmen underground will reach more than 50,000. The most important thing is that we have never Find the trail of the Rat King and Rat Queen, they are well hidden. "

"If the number is more than 60,000, then we will definitely die if we stick to it. Just talking about the food problem, even if we reduce the daily ration by half, we can't last for more than a week, let alone in a state of intense fighting. The loss of medicines and equipment is very serious. It is conservatively estimated that under the condition of strict food control, we can only last for five days before we run out of food, and three days will use up the herbs and bandages we carry.

In the blocked underground, we have no food at all except disgusting rats. "

Margaret analyzed the current logistics situation with a sullen face, which made everyone present look unhappy.

To put it bluntly, if these rats are always so crazy and fearless, even dry consumption can consume everyone present in the ruins and drain the last drop of blood.

"These mice have wisdom that is not inferior to that of humans. They seem to be retreating steadily, but they are actually luring the enemy to go deep, turning passive into active, leaving us in a helpless situation, and then annihilating us all at once...

The question is, what is their motivation for doing so? Just because we came here and wanted to eat hundreds of us? Or is there another purpose? Why wasn't this done before? "

Lester's words made everyone present deep in thought.

Motivation is a very important factor. The first few strongholds are not far from here. Under the same conditions, why did you choose this day to launch an attack? And is it better to attack a more complete, easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack transformation fortress?

Unfortunately, such a question is destined to have no answer without sufficient intelligence support.

"Unfortunately, we don't know the timing of the Ratman's attack. Maybe it's because of food shortages and we need to reduce the population, or maybe it's because we think we can get a bigger harvest at this time. The most important question now is, how do we change this situation? "

Already having some calculations and thoughts in his heart, Lester looked at the others, wanting to hear their thoughts.

Knowing what Lester meant, Margaret spoke first.

"The Ratmen have their own command system. Standing still and waiting for help is definitely not an option. We must send out elite soldiers, give priority to killing the commanders of the rat swarm, and destroy the command of the rat swarm. We have an advantage in elite troops!"

Nodding, Lester looked at the hesitant mage Uzar again.

Uzar couldn't continue to hesitate, so he could only speak slowly.

"We have been fighting the Ratmen for five years. Everyone knows that the Ratmen themselves are very timid. Even if they have a short berserk state, they will never last forever. Normally speaking, as long as they break their lines or Mass destruction with black magic is enough to frighten them,

The continuous attack on us in a self-destructive way like now is due to the influence of some non-magic factor, and I can't say what it is, but I can be sure that there is a rat man behind the rat man who intensifies the morale of the rat man. Something is maintaining the Ratman's berserk state. "

"That is to say, if we can kill the source of the Ratman's madness, can the rat group return to its previous state?"

"It should be like this, but I'm not sure, maybe there will be many sources..."

After getting important information from Uzar, Lester thought about it and asked again.

"Then do you have a way to lock the location of the source?"

Holding the crystal ball in his hand, Uzar hesitated for a moment, thinking that if he refused to take the risk, he might really die in the world of kilometers underground this time, so he nodded.

"I can locate the direction of the magic fluctuation through the magic crystal ball. It should be right to go in this direction."

"Maurice, do you have any ideas?"

"Master, I think this plan is still feasible."

Pointing to his companion, Morris, holding the magic steel spear, whispered respectfully.

"Use the black guard to lead the way, and the nightblade killer as a countermeasure. We will protect the mage Uzar and kill the commander of the ratmen along the way. Just kill them all the way, but we have to find a way to guard against the ratman crossbowmen. In addition to the corrosive liquid, there are only demons. Steel crossbow bolts can cause us harm... can't we bring the big shield?"

Lester glanced at the large shields with hundreds of magic steel crossbow bolts stuck in them, and could only shake his head.

Leaving aside the inconvenience, without the magic steel shield to block the Ratmen's crossbow arrows, the casualties of the soldiers would instantly increase.

"My blood knight's square magic steel shield has been tested for performance in the war workshop, and it is enough to defend against the magic steel crossbow bolts of the ratman crossbowmen. I will be the arrow when the time comes."

"Lord Leicester, you still have to give priority to ensuring your own safety... The plate armor of the black guard can block the magic steel crossbow arrows, and the black guard can quickly kill the rats as the vanguard, and the ratman crossbowmen will also throw rats..."

"Margaret, you still stay and defend here. Your command is needed here. Believe me, I will return with victory."

"……yes."

"Lord Leicester, using area-of-range (harmony) magic can defeat the formation of the Ratman crossbowmen. Klein can do this, and I will also use lighting magic to point out the way forward..."

"We need to prepare something to prevent corrosion tanks..."

A rough counter-plan is quickly taking shape amidst the chatter.
