The gatehouse is very dark, and the common magic lamps are not installed on the walls, but oil lamps are used instead.

But now the oil lamps are out.

Every time Li Shanren saw one, he would light it up again with a torch.

When he walked up to the second floor, a berserk soldier rushed towards them with a long sword, but he was quickly stopped by the forward soldier with a brass shield, and then Li Shanren pierced his forehead with a piece of pyrotechnic stone. .

On the second floor there is a push-type rotary valve that opens the city gate.

That soldier was probably the person who was originally stationed here to control the city gate.

Li Shanren did not stop and climbed straight up the city wall through the upward stairs.

The wind on the city wall was a bit strong, carrying icy raindrops and hitting him, making his clothes rustle.

Li Shanren asked the soldier Grek to hold up his shield to protect him from part of the wind and rain, and then walked to the crenel with some difficulty and looked down.

The military camp outside the castle was completely dark, with no light visible, and it was terribly dark under the heavy rain.

Li Shanren thought for a while, took out the magic monocular telescope he had bought from a wandering merchant, brought it to his eyes, and looked down again.

In the junction area, the sages who looked up at the stars used such telescopes to search for the trajectory of fate in the night sky.

Therefore, darkness basically does not hinder observation for this telescope.

Through the lens, the conditions of the military camp are clearly visible.

Li Shanren clearly saw that there were piles of dark creatures squeezing together on the ground of the military camp, squirming like pythons entangled in themselves. Countless pairs of tiny eyes flashed through them, showing a blood-red scarlet color.

"The outer perimeter has actually been occupied by the rat tide. No wonder those crazy soldiers came in here. It seems they can't get out from here. We have to tell them not to open the city gate."

Li Shanren put down the telescope with a solemn expression, called the Greg soldiers back to the bell, then turned and walked down the city wall.

Arriving on the second floor, two junior shield warriors were preparing to push the turnstile and release the city gate.

Seeing this scene, Li Shanren immediately stopped him and said: "Don't open the door!"

The two shield warriors stopped moving and looked at him blankly.

Dillenna was also present, and the others were probably waiting in front of the gate.

Dillenna heard the urgency in Li Shanren's tone, so he asked: "What did you see on the city wall?"

"The rat tide has occupied the outer perimeter." Li Shanren said solemnly, "I suspect they invaded from the main entrance of the castle. In short, they cannot leave here."

"Is there any other exit from the castle?" he asked.

"No." Dillenna tightened his grip on the sword hilt slightly and shook his head regretfully, "Unless we can find the secret passage in the castle."

"Ask the butler, he might know."

Li Shanren walked quickly downstairs, followed closely by Dylanna and two shield warriors.

In front of the city wall gate, a group of extraordinary beings were still wondering why the city gate was not opening for a long time.

At this time, Li Shanren walked out with hurried steps and walked straight towards the elite shield warrior Relf who still held the old butler under his arm.

However, Direnner, who was originally walking behind, quickly came to Ralph and said, "Leave him to me."

Ralph put the old steward down obediently.

Dillenna directly grabbed the old man's collar, lifted him up, and asked in a cold voice: "Tell me the location of the secret passage in the castle."

After being hit by heavy rain and being treated roughly, the old housekeeper looked a little haggard at this time, his silver hair hanging weakly on his forehead, his eyes weak, as if he was about to faint at any time.

Hearing the question, he moved the corners of his mouth, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Only the Viscount knows about this kind of thing, and even if I knew it, how could I tell you?"

"I have said before, death is your final destination. There is no need to struggle. As a sacrifice, you should wait to be sacrificed honestly."

"In the future, when the Arman family will be glorious again, your contribution will be in it. You should feel honored and grateful for everything."

"Without the arrangement of Lord Viscount, you guys who are adventuring all day long will die in obscurity sooner or later."

"Actually, if you don't do so many extraordinary things, I can let you die slowly and unconsciously one by one."

"However, you have discovered too many things, and you are still unwilling to cooperate with the death I arranged for you, so you have created the current situation."

"But it doesn't matter now. It's all the same. You have already missed your last chance to leave here."

After the old housekeeper finished speaking, his face showed a proud and unbridled look.

Upon hearing his words, most of the people present changed their expressions.

"what are you saying?!"

Captain Poison Fang, who had brown vertical pupils, suppressed the fear that flashed in his eyes and stepped forward to ask.

Except for Li Shanren and Direnner, the remaining extraordinary people didn't really understand what happened. They just knew that a major change suddenly occurred on Castle Road.

Not only was there an invasion of rats, but the soldiers originally stationed in the outer military camps also inexplicably turned into crazy enemies.

And now, someone told them that this place would be their death place, and everyone would become sacrifices to unknown beings.

This feeling is tantamount to being suddenly struck by thunder in the forehead, sudden and shocking.

"Why... why is this happening?"

The archer Fu Ya was a little disbelieving, clutching the bow arm tightly, the sweat from her palms mixed with the raindrops.

The captain of the Jianfeng Team looked a little heavy. He quietly approached Li Shanren and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Lisern, is what he said...true?"

Li Shanren smiled bitterly and nodded.

Captain Gould, who looked fierce but was the most low-key, winked at his team members and left the team silently, slightly distancing himself from the others.

Looking at the old butler who seemed to have lost sight of life and death, Dillenna narrowed his eyes.

He knew that it was no longer possible to get any useful information from this stubborn old guy by simply questioning him, so he had to use some means.

Li Shanren walked up to Dillenna, patted him on the shoulder, shook his head at him, and said, "There is no time. We must first find a place that can effectively resist the rat tide."

In that overwhelming rat tide, only Li Shanren and Direnna had room to struggle. Li Shanren still relied on the fast-moving spirit horse Torret.

However, even Thoret could not survive the rat tide for too long.

It will eventually be bitten by the crazy rats coming from all directions, and it can only retreat to the Spirit Horse Sentinel.

And Li Shanren, who was forced to fall from power, will also become a meal for those rats.

Other extraordinary beings will be like a small raft drifting in the storm in the rat tide. Just one wave can break it up and make it disappear on the sea.

Their strength is not enough to ignore the number of enemies.
