Bang-!

The first roaring explosion from the distant cemetery immediately attracted the attention of most of the extraordinary people in the castle.

Fuya, who was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, opened her eyes, grabbed the purple long bow beside her, sat up suddenly, picked up the quiver and carried it behind her back.

"team leader!"

As soon as she got up, she only saw the shield warrior standing by the window with a solemn face, looking at the distant scenery through the rain and fog.

"Relf! Why are you here? Where are the captain and the mage?" Fuya asked with wide eyes.

"Did they go out for something? Captain, let me help you keep watch."

The Shield Warrior didn't hide it, after all, Direnna didn't tell him to hide it either.

"out?!"

Fuya got off the bed and looked startled.

"Well, the captain didn't tell me what they were doing out there, but now, it seems that some terrible changes have happened outside." The shield warrior turned back and said seriously.

"I heard it too, what happened outside?"

Fuya walked to the window and looked out.

So, she saw something far away in the hazy rain and fog, and something like a wave was surging and spreading.

If you look closely, those look like...rats!

No, it’s a rat tide!

A rat tide like a natural disaster!

Fuya's heart trembled, her face turned pale and lost some of its color.

Captain...Captain and the others, are they still down there?

"Quickly go, go meet the others, and then we'll go find the captain."

The Shield Warrior turned away from the window and walked out of the door.

Fuya took a deep breath, picked up the bow and arrow, and chased after him.

When they had just gathered with the other two teammates in the castle, they went down to the hall and were about to go out, Li Shanren and Direnna, who were all wet, opened the door and walked in, followed by the Venom Fang Team and Gul, both of whom looked extremely ugly. German team.

"You came down just in time." Dillenna looked at his team members with a serious expression, "It's not safe here anymore. Follow me and leave the castle."

Then, he threw the old butler he had been dragging in front of the shield warrior.

"Take him with you, Ralph. Don't let him get away, and don't let him kill himself."

"understand!"

Although he didn't understand what happened specifically, the shield warrior still held the old butler under his arm, followed Dilenner and ran out of the hall from the side door, and ran towards the inner wall gate of the castle in the increasingly heavy rain.

On the way, they met the Jianfeng team who was about to lead people to the hall. They briefly explained the situation to them and took them away together.

There seemed to be no ordinary people left in the castle.

Under such commotion, no servant went to check the situation.

Thinking about it, those cloaked figures that the old butler brought with him before should be all the servants in the castle.

As soon as Li Shanren walked out of the side door, he called out Thoret again, leading the way and conducting reconnaissance.

The old housekeeper's behavior tonight was a bit embarrassing.

It's hard to say whether something happened on the other side of the city wall gate.

He rode all the way there in the heavy rain.

Sure enough, under the cover of the rain, it seemed that many black figures could be seen standing in line in front of the door, blocking the door on the inner wall, as if to prevent anyone from escaping from here.

Something bad arose in Li Shanren's heart. He rode his horse forward and approached. It wasn't until he was more than ten meters away that he could clearly see the appearance of the black figures.

They were the soldiers who had previously been stationed outside the castle.

More than two hundred soldiers were now wearing cotton armor and holding standard long swords. Their eyes were blood red, revealing suppressed madness, as if they would break free from their restraints and fight everywhere in the next second.

Are they being controlled? !

Li Shanren didn't dare to step forward for a while. With more than 200 soldiers, he would have to kill them for a while even if he kept releasing rock balls.

During this period, you must also pay attention to physical exertion to avoid losing strength again.

Li Shanren could only change direction, and it took him two minutes to return to the marching team.

"There are soldiers guarding the entrance to the inner wall. There are about two hundred soldiers in number. They are all mad." He shouted to Direnna to prevent his voice from being swallowed up by the noisy rain.

"Kill out!"

Dillenna held the hilt of the sword and said emotionlessly, with a cold look in his eyes.

The two had discussed before on the road that with the rat tide raging, there could no longer be a safe place in the castle.

Therefore, the best option right now is to escape from the castle.

Although Li Shanren took the initiative to step into the trap to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes, it was very dangerous, but the effect was obvious, eliminating the need for step-by-step investigation and directly exposing the old housekeeper.

However, the old butler will not be the leader behind the scenes. After all, according to the words Li Shanren induced him to answer, the old butler is still loyal to the Arman family.

Then, it is self-evident that the leader of all things is——

That is Viscount Arman who has never appeared since the garrison mission!

And Miss Yoni and the fetus in her belly are nothing more than powerful "tools".

Li Shanren had already learned from Direnna that the time when wild red-eyed beasts began to appear in the forest outside Farm City was about five months ago, which was almost the same time as the disappearance or death of Yoni Yalman.

In addition, there are now mad soldiers and mad rats in the castle who are suspected of being controlled by others. This can almost be concluded that Viscount Arman did not know how to gain power from the fetus with extraordinary power.

The most common manifestation of this power is to make creatures become crazy, bloodthirsty, irrational, and extremely aggressive. When used on humans, it seems to have the effect of enhancing physical fitness.

Viscount Arman may be able to control these mad creatures in some way, at least the mad soldiers showed signs of being manipulated.

And those mice seem to be difficult to control and tend to go berserk.

Now, the question that still remains doubtful is why Viscount Arman hired a group of extraordinary beings to garrison the castle?

Previously, Li Shanren speculated that it was to prevent the fetus that was about to be born.

But judging from the situation tonight, this guess is most likely wrong.

Because the old housekeeper obviously mentioned the word "sacrifice" when he was in the cemetery before.

It can be seen from this that these extraordinary beings were simply deceived into being used as "sacrifice".

Based on this speculation, Li Shanren couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart. He didn't know if Tifa and the others had successfully left the castle and returned to Fam City.

As a sacrifice to escape, it is inevitable to be attacked on the road.

However, based on the connection on the slave seal, Li Shanren could only confirm that Tifa was still alive.

The current plan is to escape from the castle invaded by the rat tide, go to Farm City to seek support, and then come back to annihilate this place.

Although Fam City is the fiefdom of Viscount Arman, his behavior has obviously violated the laws of the kingdom. In this case, even if he is sanctioned, it is reasonable.

Of course, relevant evidence must be submitted afterwards to prove that Viscount Arman is indeed guilty, otherwise most people would not be qualified to kill a border viscount canonized by the kingdom.

......

Under the pouring rain, the soldiers lined up in neat rows stared blankly ahead, breathing heavily and with blood-red eyes.

When Direnna and his party appeared within their sight, these soldiers reacted immediately. They charged towards the extraordinary team like beasts awakening from their slumber.

Unlike the berserk soldiers we saw before, these soldiers can use weapons.

More than two hundred standard long swords were unsheathed in an instant, and the sound of metal friction was extremely clear in the heavy rain.

They ran towards the extraordinary team in a chaotic formation, and the few soldiers running at the front quickly encountered obstacles.

Three purple rock balls the size of carriage wheels flew out of the rain and fog, knocking them down in the blink of an eye. Under the impact of pure physical gravity, their bones were crushed in an instant, their chests were sunken, their brains burst out, and they died silently.

The four extraordinary teams each formed a formation to face the enemy. The extraordinary people who focused on close combat waved their weapons and stepped forward without fear to resist the attack of the mad soldiers.

The archers and magicians as long-range units were protected in the center of the formation. Arrows were shot straight at the berserk soldiers. Powerful water bombs were condensed and rushed towards the pile of soldiers. A few soldiers staggered or fell due to the impact, and were then crushed into blurry flesh by the rock balls that followed.

Among the 23 extraordinary people in the remaining four teams, apart from Li Shanren, there are only two junior water magicians, one male and one female, who belong to the Poison Fang Team and the Gould Team respectively.

In this world, water magicians are quite common. On the one hand, water magic is the simplest and easy to get started. On the other hand, beginners can get into contact with the "Elementary Water Healing Technique" from the beginning. This is almost It is the simplest healing magic.

Most of the time, Water Mage is positioned as the healer in the party.

Li Shanren did not stay in any formation.

He rode Torette and roamed around, throwing a rock ball wherever needed, becoming one of the most powerful supporters in the entire battle.

During this period, Li Shanren was slightly distracted and observed the two junior water magicians.

This was the first time he had seen the magic of this world.

It's not the same as the magic in the borderlands.

When the two water magicians are condensing water bombs, they will use their hands to form a strange handprint in front of them, and in conjunction with a low chant, a magic rune similar to water waves will appear in the void in front of them, and then there will be Three water bombs were fired from it.

This magic is called "Elementary Water Magic Bullet". It is a basic magic at the apprentice level. It consumes less mental power. Like the rock ball, it is also a pure physical attack magic.

When they cast spells, they can do it with their bare hands, unlike Li Shanren who needs a staff as a medium to cast spells.

Similarly, when Li Shanren uses his staff to release magic, different magic runes will appear on the top of the pyroxene according to the type of magic.

For example, academy magics such as pyroxene magic gravel and pyroxene arc will have academy magic runes, and rock balls will have gravity magic runes.

However, the runes appear and disappear so quickly that most people don't even notice.
