Let go of that monster girl!

Fear gave them extra strength, and the three mouse girls were able to push a creaking train along.

"Your Excellency, can we really hold them off?"

A militia rat asked, trembling.

Molen put down his binoculars, glanced at her, and waved his hand without saying a word.

"fire!"

The first wave of artillery fire exploded at the forefront of the beast tide.

Flames spewed from the bronze cannon barrels, and the cannonballs crashed violently into the black waves.

The explosion's flames instantly illuminated a large area, and shrapnel and shockwaves tore apart the bodies of more than a dozen Chimera Beasts, sending limbs and internal organs flying into the air.

Swarms of chimeras fell, and the piles of corpses and the flames of explosions blocked the advance of the raging beasts behind them.

The entire herd of beasts shifted slightly to the north.

"Cross-fire reloading!"

"Quick, load!"

The militia rats frantically turned the breechblock open.

More cannons were pushed to the north city wall, and more artillery fire exploded in front of the beast tide.

The main force of the beast tide rushed past from the north of the low mountain, but the beast horde, which was contained in the east, trampled over cannon fire and piles of corpses, and pressed towards the city wall of the low mountain little by little!

"Screech! It's going to crash into us!"

The chimera beasts at the very front did not slow down at all, and crashed straight into the city wall of the low mountain, which was more than ten meters high.

A dull, loud bang, followed by a spurt of blood.

The monster's head exploded on the stone wall, its brains and bone fragments covering the surface.

More chimeras charged straight up, and the entire city wall shook violently under the terrifying impact.

The corpses piled higher and higher below the city walls, and the Chimera Beasts continued to crash into the walls, stepping on the corpses of their own kind.

The blood spurted from higher and higher positions.

"They're going to climb up!"

They are not an army, nor even predators.

It was a flood, merciless, sweeping away and swallowing everything!

"Breath of fire!"

Morren gave the order.

The flamethrowers on the city wall were activated simultaneously.

The crank was spinning wildly, and the gas canister was clicking.

Fuel gushed out, and red and green acid fire swooped down, crashing into the piles of corpses and herds of beasts below the city.

The flames exploded upon landing, shooting up five or six meters high and turning the area in front of the city wall into a raging inferno filled with poisonous gas.

The terrifying wall of fire activated the last vestige of instinct remaining in the Chimera Beast.

The beast horde in front slowed down slightly, only to be immediately knocked over and thrown into the fire by the ferocious beasts behind.

The fur and flesh sizzled in the acid fire, and the direction of the beast tide was greatly deflected to the north, causing the number of chimeras that crashed into the city walls to decrease rapidly.

The flames from the explosion mingled with the acid fire, illuminating the area in front of the city wall.

can win!

If we hold on, the beast tide will eventually pass.

"Your Excellency, Baron."

The militia rat said, trembling:

"We're out of ammunition."

The ammunition box behind her was empty.

"Squeak! Your Excellency! We've arrived too!"

Shouts came from below the city wall, and a large group of worker rats, mining rats, and carpenter rats ran towards the city wall carrying gunpowder canisters of various sizes.

Lyme followed in the crowd, carrying a long string of acid bottles.

Molen picked up a gunpowder canister and weighed the copper canister in his hand.

He walked to the edge of the city wall, aimed at the thickest part of the pile of corpses below, and threw the jar down with force.

The acid ignited the gunpowder, sending fragments flying, and the pile of corpses collapsed instantly.

More gunpowder canisters were thrown down, and explosions echoed one after another.

The tail of the beast tide was slowly becoming visible, the black torrent was beginning to thin out, and the number of Chimera Beasts that followed was significantly reduced.

Once reduced to a certain level, they will no longer be able to scale the high wall.

Hope shone in the eyes of the mouse girls.

boom!

A loud bang came from behind the city wall.

A jet-powered train flew sideways, tumbled several times in the air, and crashed heavily into the rock wall on the mountainside, exploding into a ball of burning fragments.

The mouse girls looked up.

All that could be seen was a tall monster standing on the city wall.

It looks like a bird with an extremely long neck, very tall, over five meters, completely black, with pustules and sores under its feathers.

In the firelight, it raised its eyeless head, and a terrifying, maniacal laugh emanated from its eye sockets.

Flying species.

One of the rarest and most dangerous beings among the Chimera Beasts.

Chapter 27 Blind Bird

The blind bird's curved claws hooked onto the bronze frame of the jet train, and its wings suddenly spread, stirring up a gust of wind.

The massive body dragged the entire flamethrower into the air, acid continuously flowing from the broken pipe, sizzling as it burned on the ground.

Morren gripped the scabbard at his waist and shouted:

"Get out of the way! Everyone back up!"

The militia rat beside him was still staring blankly up at the dark shadow rising into the sky.

Molen grabbed her by the back of her collar and dragged her backward.

"Run!"

The mouse girls then came to their senses and scattered in all directions, squeaking.

Several militia rats clutched the last shell and frantically turned the crank on the base of the cannon, trying to aim the muzzle at the dark figure hovering in the air.

But the blind bird's speed far exceeded their expectations.

"Too fast, I can't aim!"

"It turned back!"

The blind bird folded its wings and fell straight down from the height.

The heavy flamethrower in its claws, carrying half a canister of fuel, spun and crashed into the center of the city wall.

Acid gushed out of the cracked copper pot, red and green flames shot into the air, and the shockwave blew the rat girls within a dozen steps around them off balance.

not good!

Half of the city wall collapsed under the violent impact.

Large chunks of stone slid off the cross-section, revealing a gap three to four meters wide.

A chimera beast engulfed in flames pressed its claws against the edge of the breach, and more chimeras engulfed in flames surged up from below the city.

Their fur was still burning, and the acrid smell was nauseating.

These monsters seemed to feel no pain at all. A giant wolf with half its face burned off used its remaining front legs to grab onto the edge of the stone, and immediately three or four smaller chimeras climbed over its back and rolled in.

The militia rats immediately raised their spears and thrust them forward.

The spearhead pierced the chest of the foremost chimera, but its 1.4-meter height made it look like a mouse in front of these monsters weighing hundreds of kilograms.

With a flick of its neck, the Chimera sent the Rat Girl and the spear shaft flying, instantly shattering the militia's formation.

Moren drew his sword, staring at the blind bird still circling in the sky, and directed the two remaining flamethrower devices.

"Push the jet train over here and plug the gap!"

The carpenter rats and blacksmith rats were pushing two nearby spray trains with all their might, while the mining rats were frantically shaking the air pump handles.

Acidic fire gushed from the nozzles, burning the inlaid animal hides that were climbing, tearing them apart and sending them tumbling back down to the city walls.

A mouse girl screamed and pointed to the sky.

"That guy's going to charge down again!"

The blind bird circled once high up before folding its wings and swooping down again.

The militia rat quickly maneuvered the ballista, which was turning faster, and fired it repeatedly at the dark figure. The thick bolts streaked into the night with a whooshing sound.

The arrows grazed the tips of the blind bird's wings, one of them embedding itself in its wing and forcing it to change its trajectory in mid-air.

The blind bird didn't hit the fire engine directly, but it still crashed violently into the top of the city wall, its massive body tumbling wildly on the top, knocking down a group of militia rats.

The rune sword in Morren's hand glowed with a pale blue light.

He stepped forward and swung his sword, the blade striking the blind bird's left claw the instant it took flight.

The blind bird let out a shrill cry, its wings flapping violently, creating a huge gust of wind that extinguished all the acid fires around it, and forced all the rat girls, Moren, and Lyme to the ground.

The firewall disappeared, and the chimeras surged onto the wall through the breach.

The first giant chimera beast to charge forward opened its gaping maw, aimed directly at Lym, who was lying on the ground still holding an acid bottle.

Lyme stared blankly at the gaping maw before him.

The unlit acid bottle slipped from her hand and fell to the ground, shattering. The slime spread along the stone slab, connecting with her translucent body.

At this incredibly dangerous moment, Lyme felt everything around him slow down.

Her senses became incredibly sharp, so sharp that she could see the hot breath exhaled by the Chimera Beast.

It was so clear that you could feel every single drop of acid overflowing, every single drop of acid boiling and burning.

She can do it.

Only she can do it.

Red and green flames exploded from beneath Lyme's feet.

All the slime that leaked onto the ground ignited at the same moment, and a wall of fire swept outwards in all directions from Lyme's center.

The massive shockwave blew the chimeras off the city walls one by one, and scorching flames, accompanied by acid mist, devoured all living things near the breach.

But the wall of fire, in its spread, cleverly avoided Moren and every ratgirl lying on the ground.

The surrounding herds of beasts were engulfed in the inferno, their fur and flesh turning to charcoal in the acid fire, screaming as they fled in all directions.

As the beast tide drew to a close, the beasts below the city walls howled and turned to chase after the main body of the beast tide.

The blind bird, its claw severed, lost its balance, struggled to flap its wings and flew for a while before finally changing direction and flying towards the back of the low hill.

Morren got up from the ground, his eyes following the trajectory of the crooked black shadow.

not good!

It's flying towards the mine!

The reason this creature attacks the jet train even though it has no eyes is because it possesses an extremely powerful ability to sense heat; it can see the rats hiding underground!

Moren dashed forward, followed by the militia rats carrying spears and crossbows, tumbling and crawling along the mountain path.
