Chapter 113: The ‘rat’ emblem among the wild wheat

A burning square hammer whizzed through the air and hit the rotten armor violently. The huge impact force knocked down a piece of wheat around the blasphemer. And the blasphemer flew into the air like a can that was crushed and choked.

Its broken and rotten body began to break into pieces in the air, and then a holy fire suddenly burned from its body.

After the burning wreckage landed, it ignited a piece of wheat straw around it, and also attracted a dozen companions near the blasphemer. These undeads waded through the wheat straw weakly, and slowly walked towards the direction where the wreckage flew while staggering.

Among these dozen undeads, there were two blasphemers. When they waded through the wheat straw, the breath on their bodies made the wheat straw gradually wither and become very flammable. But when they passed the burning wreckage, the holy fire burning on the ground was suppressed by the thick fog brought by the two blasphemers.

Waves of horse hooves approached from far away, charging towards the group of monsters. The punishment mantras spoken by the riders on the horses became clearer and clearer. This sacred power was so solid and pure that the fog around the knight seemed to be dispelled.

The square hammer near the wreckage suddenly trembled twice, and then suddenly flew into the air, spinning into the fog. Then, a golden horse suddenly jumped out of the fog, smashed a walking skeleton directly, and rushed into the dozen monsters.

These undead who had never known what fear was, trembled all over and stopped in place after hearing the hymn at this moment. Only the two blasphemers suddenly charged at the knight at the moment the knight rushed over.

Looking at the two figures rushing over, George's eyes widened with anger, and the burning square hammer in his hand brought a golden flame in the air, and beat the first blasphemer who rushed over. It hit the long sword that the blasphemer chopped over.

Amid the humming sound of metal, the long sword suddenly shattered. It landed on its chest without any obstruction. The broken armor suddenly broke into pieces under the terrifying impact of the horse and the square hammer, and the body of the blasphemer, which could not be destroyed because of the curse, also scattered like a handful of ashes in the burning moment when it came into contact with the square hammer, and a large number of sparks burst out in the air.

Then, George stretched out his palm to the second blasphemer who rushed over. Then a dazzling white lightning suddenly shot down from the sky and hit the blasphemer.

The blasphemer who was charging halfway turned into a ball of fire in the thunder and lightning of punishment. At the same time, a strong light suddenly broke out around, dispersing the surrounding fog (triggering the range effect of "punishment").

The dozen or so undead nearby suddenly burned after being illuminated by the strong light. They covered their faces and fled around in fear. But this level 4 punishment, which focused on 2 mana points, was extremely powerful. Monsters with less than 8 vitality were quickly burned to ashes halfway, and the remaining two were also smashed by the flying hammer that chased them in the air.

In a moment, the surrounding monsters had been cleared out.

George took the flying square hammer, patted the horse's neck, and exhaled a breath of hot air: "There are 3 blasphemers among the 18 monsters. The proportion of blasphemers near the manor is indeed a bit scary."

After putting away the square hammer, George took out the scroll from his waist.

They have been harvesting wild wheat in the Rat-inhabited Territory these days. All the lords, soldiers and militias together have more than 2,000 people, and more than 1,000 auxiliary soldiers (farmers), a total of more than 3,000 people. In addition, there are many horses and cattle responsible for transportation.

The grain harvested every day will be temporarily stored in several clean farms and beacons. When they go back, they will be transported back to various territories together.

At first, they were rushing to harvest wild wheat in the outermost part of the Rat-Dwelling Territory, but in the past few days, the team is only a few kilometers away from the manor.

According to the wolf pack's investigation, most of the monsters are concentrated in the manor, and the monsters outside the manor are very scattered. In the past few days, George has encountered very few monsters, relying on the investigation of the wolf pack and the knights. Only today, there are slightly more monsters. But according to the map, the monsters around here add up to only a few hundred. Counting the possible wandering monsters, the monsters encountered today will not exceed one thousand.

Forty-six reserve and formal dawn knights, plus the knights and attendants of the lords, there are about five hundred people. Divided into more than a dozen teams, following the wolves, they are responsible for patrolling and cleaning tasks in the outer circle of the team. The others are doing their best to harvest wild wheat in the circle.

These wolves can easily identify where there are monsters around by smell. And some knights also bring hunting dogs specially trained for this purpose. So these days have been smooth.

This kind of work is also being done today, but under George's deliberate manipulation of the wolf pack, the groups of the Dawn Knights have left the circle of harvesting wheat and are heading towards the periphery of the circle where George is.

George looked at the map and found that some of Aji and Gavi's subordinates were already ready on the other side of the manor.

George knew that everything was ready.

In the past few days, George conducted several experiments.

Gavi and other lords once told George that when the lords first attacked the manor, they tried to use fire to burn the monsters in the manor. But those monsters were chased away by the fire, and returned to the manor after running a few kilometers.

After George learned about this, Aji and others secretly tried some small groups of zombies and confirmed two things - the first is that Anthony calculated the wind direction very accurately. The second is that monsters will not only be driven away by the light of the God's Grace Torch, but also by ordinary fire.

And some monsters far away from the flames will also be attracted by the flames. They will rush into the flames like moths to a flame, and then flee from the flames after sensing danger. Eventually, a situation of being driven away by the flames will be formed.

Even if the flames are extinguished, the monsters often continue to rush forward for a long distance with the zombies in inertia.

This seems to indicate that there is something in the manor that attracts the monster group, so there must be something to attract the monsters farther - they can be driven away by the fire, or attracted by the fire. Then they will naturally be attracted to humans!

Originally, George planned to instigate the team to rush to the vicinity of the manor to attract monsters, but after confirming this better plan, he changed his original plan.

However, he considered a problem.

When tens of thousands of monsters rushed out of the manor, the first to rush out must be small groups of zombies. If the team starts running when they see the monsters, many monsters will run around or stay where they are because they can't catch up with the crowd.

And the blasphemers walk slower than zombies.

So in the best plan, the team should resist for a while, and then run away when most of the zombies rush out, so as to lead the monsters as far as possible!

Undoubtedly, this is a more deceptive plan.

But George did it thoroughly. In order to prevent accidents, he did a few things.

In the past few days, George specifically asked Aji and others to secretly use the smell of blood to attract several small and medium-sized zombie groups. When the wheat harvesting team encountered this "accident" for the first time, many people dropped their things and ran away.

There were only a few hundred zombies and five or six blasphemers. But even the extremely brave Bianhe warriors had no intention of fighting when fighting together with the lord! As long as one lord's troops began to disintegrate, it would cause a major collapse!

After successfully cleaning up this accident, George expressed his dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction made Gavi and other people who expected to be saved terrified, and they were afraid that the bishop would change his mind.

The lords punished the deserters cruelly, and the team got better and better. As everyone found that the team could easily solve the problem every time, they began to get used to it.

Just like the "little boy and the wolf", today, the wolf is really coming.

In this world, the people at the bottom have never left the village in their lives. Many soldiers are not familiar with the situation outside their own lord's territory. In addition, they have been traveling in the fog these days, so most people don't know where they have gone.

A few experienced knights can guess and even know some "inside stories". But in military operations, the commanders will not tell the soldiers a lot of news. Especially since the fog, all lords have strictly prohibited internal discussions of these things during the operation to ensure the stability of the army.

In this operation, the lords seemed to be deliberately keeping secrets, and George and some lords also understood the mission.

Although George has been emphasizing that they only collect wild wheat and don't alarm monsters. But some lords can't help it anymore.

Seeing that the lords have been getting more and more sneaky recently, George also felt that the time was almost right.

The night before yesterday, when resting in an unmanned manor, George called Gavi over. And reprimanded him severely. Finally, in Gavi's tearful confession, George finally gave a clear answer in his "soft heart".

Last night, Aji, Martin, and some of the people arranged by Gavi went to the manor.

In addition to a lot of kerosene, they also brought a lot of "God's Grace Torches".

The fire should have been started, because Aji and Martin had already made a big circle from the manor, followed the wolf pack, and came to George.

So George guessed that the dozen monsters he had just solved came from the direction near the manor.

On the map, this group of people and George's group were on both sides of the manor. It was a diagonal straight line. Today's wind is also blowing from the 'east' of the manor where Aji and his team are to the 'west' where the team is, so Aji and his team only need to set a big fire, and most of the monsters in the manor will rush from the manor to the team in this raging fire.

George didn't know whether this plan would succeed. But if it doesn't succeed, then die.

Including the lords, all of them are now grasshoppers tied to a rope - if the fleeing team is finished first, the beheading team will have no chance to escape after failure.

And if the beheading team fails, the lords will all be finished.

For this matter, Gavi and other few lords who know the situation will keep it strictly confidential - first, the fire is related to whether the bishop will be punished by the Holy See, so it must be staged as an accident!

If the news leaks out, the bishop is likely to stop doing anything in anger.

Second, although the bishop will light the fire, this play has to be performed, and some people will die in the process of acting.

Therefore, even if Gavi and his team don't consider anything else, they will never tell their companions that they are working together to pit their teammates!

The fire will be lit, and the whole situation will be the same as Gavi and others imagined - although more people will die than they believe, and the fire will be lit later.

And there is another premise - George and others really succeed.

"Today is the last stand!"

After thinking about it, George looked at the map and asked the wolf pack to take the Dawn Knights to a certain place to gather. Then he flicked his whip and went there.
