"Damn it! The spell failed In a small room, came a woman''s angry voice. The floor in front of her was painted with an extremely complex pattern. In the center of these patterns, the crystal ball used as the medium of communication had broken, and the 666 candles surrounding the woman and the pattern were extinguished.


    In front of her spread out on the Magic Book suddenly burst out a strong flame, burning this evil book made of human skin in an instant.


    "How could that be possible? The boy is just a fledgling just out of the mage tower. How could he... " Kuyla, the witch who had spoken to emia before, walked into the room after hearing the cry of her companion. She saw the burning spell book with only the cover left. You know, this book is something that the sorcerers spent a lot of time getting. This whole book only records one kind of magic, that is, driving a terrible existence through sacrifice.


    This being is called the mother of shadow. According to the book, he is an old and evil god with a rebellious character. Different from other evil existence with many priests, the sacrifice to the shadow mother has rarely been recorded since ancient times, and no one has ever claimed or witnessed the sects or organizations worshipping it. Everything in this shrine is more unknowable and unpredictable than any other existence.


    However, no one will doubt the power of an evil god. Even if he is not obsessed with spreading his faith, it does not mean that he will be weaker than other known existence. In any case, from the perspective of the world''s creatures, the strength of those high-level beings is meaningless, just as ants can''t tell the difference between humans. That''s why witches regard this call that can only be used once as the best gift to meet. In their view, killing cheese, the biggest dependency of Emilia, easily can give the Betrayer the greatest fear, so that their revenge can be meaningful.


    But what they never expected was that the summoning skill, which had consumed a huge amount of resources, would fail! Although I don''t know what the problem is, it is certain that the grey robed mage named cheese has not been killed by the shadow mother. This result is obviously unacceptable to the witches. After all, as the person responsible for destroying the evidence of the Pharmacist Association, if the mage really lives and takes away the chief pharmacist''s notes, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the "adult" plan.


    "And Ellie? Call her here, and I want her to go and kill the man in the grey robe now Kuila''s brow frowned at the thought of the terrible consequences of releasing the mage. Her eyes were shining with fear or anger. Now cheese is just a weak time. As long as they start now, it is possible to kill the mage on the way. As long as they kill cheese, what happened tonight can be wiped out


    Lights out. The witches were engulfed by the sudden darkness and rigid in place. The room had no windows except the door to cast the spell, and when kuila entered the room, the door was closed. So, what is it that blows out the lights?


    On the other hand, outside the walls of the capital, a large number of rats are still attacking the city fearlessly. The corpses of rat people who died during the day were piled under the wall, making it easier for later comers to climb to the wall. As the battle progressed, the corpse mound grew higher and higher. Although most of the city wall was still above the corpse heap, the difficulty of attacking the city for the rat people had been greatly reduced than in the daytime.


    In contrast, the human side''s combat effectiveness has been severely damaged. Humans are a species that is easily controlled by emotions. After the initial fear and excitement, the whole day''s fighting numbs soldiers and commanders. In a protracted war, numbness is the most fatal problem. Once soldiers are used to chopping and killing, they will forget to avoid sudden changes. Physical fatigue can be recovered by taking a short rest and eating, but mental fatigue is more difficult to recover and more lethal.


    "GAHA!" The rat man who jumped up from the wall screamed and jumped at a soldier with his back to him. The soldier was concentrating on fighting the enemy in front of him. He did not realize that his companion, who should have covered himself, was now trapped in the battle and had no time to look after him. The rat man''s claws extended towards his neck which was not protected by armor. The attacked soldier had already noticed that it was wrong, but his mental fatigue made him miss the chance to dodge.


    "Poof!" The sound of the blade passing through the body rings from behind the soldier, but not from the rat''s paw. The iron Knight kicked down the mouse man on the sword and pulled out his weapon.


    "Soldier, focus." The old knight said, holding the soldier''s right elbow with his left hand, he pushed the sword forward and sent the sword into the heart of another rat man.


    After saving the soldier, Atticus did not stop. He walked upstream of the wall with iron bars in his hand. Whenever a garrison is found to be tired, the Knight Commander will help them clean up the rat people on the wall of the city, and motivate them to continue fighting with practical actions. As a matter of fact, not only the iron Knights themselves, but also the Knights of the Kingdom knights in the capital, just like their leaders, broke up into parts and became a beacon for other soldiers. It can be said that without these determined knights, the human front might have collapsed.But this is not the way. Atticus threw a rat man down from the wall, looked at the green eyes under the wall, thought. There are too many rat people, but the space on the city wall is limited. When the dead soldiers'' bodies and rat people''s corpses can''t be cleaned up in time, the space for human activities will be compressed. This trend is fatal. Once more than half of the space on the wall is filled with corpses, even if the rat man''s attack is weakened, human beings will no longer be able to defend the wall as easily as they did at the beginning.


    We need reinforcements. The iron Knight looked at the darkness in the distance. It doesn''t need too much, even if it''s just a small team of dozens of people. As long as they come from afar in the armor of grey lions, it will be enough to motivate all the soldiers on the city walls. Atticus had good eyesight, and his eyes had not been hurt by years of military service, and even in the dark, the iron knight could see far away from the fire on the wall of the city. Suddenly, in the distant darkness, behind the rat army, he seemed to see something.


    "Soldier, I need lighting." The knight went up to the tower, pulled a soldier with a bow and arrow and pointed to a direction in the distance.


    The soldier, who had been sniping at the larger individual of the rat man, was suddenly pulled up, which was somewhat chaotic. But as soon as he saw that the man who was talking to himself was the chief commander of the royal order, he was shocked and made a military salute without saying a word. After listening to the knight''s request, the archer nodded deeply, drew out an arrow wrapped in cloth from the quiver beside his feet, dipped the kerosene in the oil pool on the side, and immediately a soldier stepped forward and lit the lighting arrow.


    "Shoot high. It''s behind the rat man." Said Atticus.


    The archer nodded, pulled his long bow to the maximum and shot it into the air.


    The flaming arrow, like a meteor, swept across the battlefield at a very fast speed, causing the rats under the wall to turn their heads. Many soldiers are also attracted by this arrow. They don''t understand why they have to shoot the lighting arrow into the distance at this time. This is totally incomprehensible. But when they saw where the arrow had fallen, all the soldiers, including Atticus, were frightened by the sight of the fire.


    Although due to the distance and night, the rocket can bring limited vision, but in this limited field of vision, these people clearly see that behind the rat people, there is one or several huge, bloated, but bigger than the giant rat man.


    "Tomb guard." The iron Knight Commander murmured after seeing those shadows.
