Chapter 246, Rat Troll
The rat priest was the first to give the order to attack, and the giant rats hesitated. Perhaps it was because their external performance was too good. These guys had not even participated in a few serious battles before being sent to the battlefield.

These giant ratmen are hybrids created by the Big Claw Priests using a special type of tall ratman and ordinary ratmen.

The hybrid ratmen born from hybridization lost the ability to reproduce again and became exceptionally tall, but seemed to have inherited some shortcomings. As a novel and precious thing, these giant ratmen could even indulge in eating a whole blood mushroom when they were born, a treatment that ordinary ratmen could only dream of.

However, their bloodline inherited more characteristics that did not belong to the rat people. They were surprisingly docile, and apart from their appearance, they had almost no similarities with the rat people.

He wasn't as manic as the young rat man, he didn't go berserk in the blood, and he wasn't too crazy either.

A very strange product, very gentle. Such performance is more of a disadvantage for the rat people, but their excellent appearance and huge body made them the darlings of the rat priests as soon as they were born.

This was the first battle they had fought.

Somewhat hesitant and somewhat at a loss, these gentle but flawed big rats showed such a performance in the face of the enemy, which made the ratman priests who spent a lot of money to recruit them not satisfied.

In a rage, he hit the cowardly giant rat man beside him with the wooden stick in his hand and cursed angrily.

The ratman priest's rage made the huge ratman even more panicked, and also made the Vatican knights on the side even more confused. Obviously, such a scene was a bit anticlimactic, so they all grabbed their weapons.

A charge is about to begin. This team of Vatican knights will break through the obstruction of these strange ratmen that suddenly appear in front of them, just like they broke through the ratman team that blocked the village just now.

They did not launch a charge immediately. The long run brought fatigue. The timing of the arrival of this group of giant ratmen was very good. The knights of the Holy See were quite tired. At this time, they took a short pause to catch their breath. At the same time, these huge ratmen that were as tall as their war horses also brought them a certain deterrent, making them have to deal with them carefully.

No matter how fragile they are inside, a good appearance still adds a lot of points to these giant ratmen.

Although this power was cut off and disappeared when these giant ratmen hesitated.

The ratmen priests have quite a few ways to deal with this situation.

A leather whip with sharp thorns was taken down, and with a whistling sound, it fell heavily on the huge rat man in front of him. In an instant, his skin and flesh were torn apart, and wails of pain were heard.

The captain of the Vatican Knights drew the long sword from his waist.

A blood-red light first enveloped the area, in the wooden staff raised high.

The killing field was expanded in an instant, accompanied by sharp curses and continuously falling whips. After the giant rats received the brutal beating from the rat priest, their eyes quickly turned red.

In order to avoid the falling whip, he subconsciously dodged forward and collided with the Vatican knights who were rushing towards him.

The ratman priest began to release the earth-shattering technique while dancing.

The huge ratmen that collided with each other and the team of Vatican knights were all included in the ground-shattering technique. At the same time, the killing fields in their hands were not put down. Benefited by the rising elemental concentration in the world, the spellcasting level of the ratmen priests has greatly improved. Of course, even so, releasing two spells at the same time is not something that ordinary ratmen priests can do.

This represents the level of this ratman priest, and also represents that he is approaching that line and is about to become a real big man in the Ratman Empire, a senior ratman priest.

Such a guy is naturally not an unknown person. He came from the underground rat city and arrived in this new continent with some things. That is why he was able to successfully recruit this first batch of giant ratmen even though the temple guards were interested in these giant ratmen.

The temple guards voluntarily gave up competing with him. As for Shu Zhan, well, this guy who hated dogs, even if he was interested in these silver spear wax heads, his bad reputation meant that Shu Zhan was destined to be the first to be excluded from the competition.

There is no other reason. These breeding houses that produce giant ratmen are located in many ratman cities on the vast grassland. The leaders of those ratman cities are ratman lords, who are also senior ratman priests.

The reason why such a guy would take the initiative to attack these Vatican knights is because he is curious about the Ghost-Eyed People.

The ratmen have no shortage of captives, but those weak captives and powerful warriors are two different things.

The second purpose is to see what the quality of these giant ratmen is like.

The giant ratman was not of good quality, so there was no need to feel sorry for him. The cracked ground caught the Vatican Knights off guard, but they reacted quickly. The Vatican Knights were not like the noble knights, who almost all opened their magic eyes in the face of the accumulation of resources.

But the leader among them was not in this line. The warhorse leaped high, and the captain of this team of Vatican knights raised the sword in his hand. Bright light was brewing on his body, and he fell heavily to the ground. With the huge impact, the huge ratmen nearby were knocked to the ground, and the crack in the ground torn open by the ratman priest was also opened.

Many of these giant, docile ratmen briefly regained their sanity after being hit like this, and tried to flee to the rear in panic.

However, he ran into the ratman priest with red eyes head-on. Shrouded in the aura of killing, his briefly regained sanity was quickly exhausted. He began to become manic and even wanted to kill the dwarf ratman priest who was blocking his way.

Until I met those eyes, those red eyes.

Coldly whipping, the Rat Priest didn't care about the frenzy of these guys in front of him. As the ruthless ruler of the Rat Empire, the Rat Priest's control over ordinary rats was more efficient than any other means. It was a pity that they were not loyal, especially when you didn't get along with them.

This is a big problem, a very big problem.

The giant rats turned back, and several Vatican knights struggled to climb out from the cracks in the ground that had stopped spreading. Their horses were stuck in the cracks and could no longer climb out.

The Vatican knights gave up the idea of ​​breaking out because it would mean they would have to abandon the knights who had lost their horses.

Especially when those huge ratmen that were rushing in and the Vatican knights that had landed were entangled tightly together.

The two sides fought each other, but the result was equally unsatisfactory. These giant ratmen were not unarmed. They were equipped with a set of weapons that were relatively suitable for them, a huge rough iron rod that was thick at one end and thin at the other end, and an equally huge iron-inlaid shield, although the special armor provided for them had not been rushed out in such a short time.

But the giant ratmen with their size and numbers should never have fought like this. It was not a back-and-forth battle, or even an evenly matched one, but a one-sided battle. The killing aura seemed to have destroyed the sanity of these giant ratmen to the greatest extent, and they gave up the weapons they had been holding.

Waving the huge claws in a frenzy, he attacked these well-trained knights like a wild beast. Naturally, the result was not good. It would be good if these guys could really be like wild beasts, but every time they were attacked, their panic would temporarily overwhelm their madness, and the first thing they did when they regained their sanity was to escape. This performance was really too bad.

These giant ratmen were also being destroyed at a very fast speed.

Such performance made the ratman priest's face completely dark. Faced with such a situation, it would be his turn to escape soon. Fortunately, he still had a good thing in his hand.

He carefully took out a mass of squirming flesh and blood, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face. At the edge of the melee, he found a giant ratman who was dying. A penetrating wound appeared on his chest. He chose him and threw the squirming flesh and blood in his hand down. It landed on the wound on the chest of the dying ratman. He cast an expectant look at him and quickly retreated to the rear. Both sides in the melee did not notice the actions of the ratman priest.

These huge ratmen huddled together really blocked the view.

The guy on the ground twitched violently, and scarlet flesh and blood rushed into his body along the penetrating wound on his chest. The sound of his heart beating violently appeared on the edge of the melee. The poor guy wanted to struggle, but the process was too painful. It was just that the part of his chest that was pierced was his lungs, and his wailing turned into a faint whistle like pulling a broken bellows.

Like a corpse, it lay on the ground enduring the pain. Its body was expanding rapidly and turning blood red. The fur on its surface fell off during the expansion process, revealing its hideous surging blood vessels and muscles. The master version of the skinning giant rat seemed to have slight deviations from normal when used on these giant ratmen.

The surging deformed flesh and blood did not make these giant ratmen transform into deformed dragonborn, but made their strong bodies even stronger. The wounds on their chests healed completely in the surging of the deformed flesh and blood. In terrible pain, the hideous deformed giant ratman let out a terrifying roar to the world.

If we talk about strength, the skinned giant rats are definitely stronger. These severely deformed guys are getting closer to the real dragon. Although driven by the deformation of their flesh and blood, the closer the skinned giant rats get to the dragon, the more completely they are deformed and the closer they are to self-destruction, but that real power cannot be faked.

These deformed giant ratmen seem to have no other changes except that they have become even bigger.

It was three meters tall, a real behemoth. The upper part of its body was more thoroughly deformed and became stronger, but it lost its balance and could not stand straight on the ground. Its strong upper body tilted and its arms fell to the ground. It had only a small amount of fur on its body, and scarlet flesh and blood was surging.

A completely new type of distortion. When this giant distorted ratman stood up again, it completely became the center of this area.

His timid and gentle character had long been overcome by the painful deformation process, and his red eyes were filled with mania and anger.

He regarded the Vatican Knights in front of him as his target and charged through the huge ratmen gathered in front of him. Even the Vatican Knights riding war horses were shorter than these overly tall deformed ratmen.
It has no special abilities, neither the skinned giant rat's hypertrophic scales with extremely high elemental resistance, nor the broken and twisted flesh wings, degraded dragon power, nor the horrific acid breath.

It's just taller, stronger, possesses greater power, and has the huge vitality shared by all the deformed creatures.

A slap was swept towards the Vatican Knight in front of him. The Vatican Knight reacted in time and raised the sword in his hand to meet the attack. The sword sank deeply into the palm of the huge deformed ratman, but the damage caused by this attack was not significant, like a toothpick piercing into the palm. The Vatican Knight was knocked away heavily.

It fell far away and there was no movement. The long sword remained in the palm of the giant deformed ratman, causing him to howl in pain. The giant deformed ratman pulled the long sword out of his hand. He seemed to still retain a certain amount of intelligence and was not as manic and heartless as those skinned giant rats.

The sword was thrown out, and the wound caused healed extremely quickly.

The Vatican Knights were still elite and were not at a loss because of this sudden change. The captain of the Vatican Knights' sword began to be wrapped with dazzling light. With a special feeling of heat, he clamped his horse, jumped high, and wanted to chop at the huge deformed ratman's head.

It can easily penetrate flesh and blood, but the price of its simplicity is that it cannot cope with high-intensity attacks. The huge deformed ratman without the growth of tiny scales is obviously not resistant enough to elemental attacks. Once its head is cut off, even the strongest physique will face death.

With a howl of pain, the giant deformed rat was about to be chopped off the horse as soon as it came into being, until a sharp rock spike arrived and the ratman priest took action. The captain of the Vatican's knights' fatal sword was deflected to the side by the rock spike and only cut off half of the giant deformed ratman's thick neck. This was not a fatal injury.

It had the opposite effect, causing the giant deformed ratman to go berserk.

An angry blow landed, hitting the Vatican Knights' captain's armor on his chest. At this moment, you could hear the horrible creaking sound from the deformation of the armor. He was blasted away like a cannonball, and paused in constant tumbling. He did not die, and the Vatican Knights' captain was very tenacious.

He barely supported his body with the sword in his hand. As a knight, he did not let go of the sword.

Looking not far away, I saw the scarlet area, the huge and roaring giant ratman, and the short figure behind the giant ratman.

He will pay the price for his decision. Running through this dangerous area is not a wise decision. But before that, he has one last thing to do.

He struggled to stand up and raised the sword in his hand high. The magic he used did not come from the gift of God, but came from the opened magic eye and his own will.

For glory.

He was very sorry for dragging his companion who was following him into such a desperate situation. Please forgive him, he just wanted to save more people.

The dazzling light almost pierced through all the darkness at this moment. The surviving knights of the Vatican seemed to realize something and closed their eyes at this moment, but the rat people obviously did not understand this guy's methods.

What would happen if a sudden burst of extremely dazzling light broke out in the darkness?

It will blind your eyes.

No matter whether it was the violent giant deformed ratman, those giant ratmen that were frantic in the killing aura, or the ratman priest who was looking at the giant deformed ratman with satisfaction, they all felt the dazzling light at this moment.

The killing aura paused, and the ratman priest knelt on the ground in pain, covering his eyes.

The embarrassed Vatican knights mounted their horses and galloped away into the distance.

The captain of the Vatican's knights, whose chest was deeply sunken and who was obviously dead, fell powerlessly into the wheat field after witnessing this scene.
