Chapter 2494 - 832: Insolent Thing, This Place Has an Owner! Don’t You Know to Knock Before Coming In? (Part 2)
When Old Edward raised the pale bone whip towards it, the latter screamed like a mouse encountering a cat, dropped its weapon, and turned to flee.
This reaction dumbfounded Old Edward.
No...
Are you sure showing your back while fleeing is okay?
Which genius instructor taught you this retreat tactic!
As the Duke Wolfsbane possessing the Fear Blood, he accurately judged that the Ratman was indeed afraid of something, but the source of fear was not him.
"They’re retreating! Pa Ying."
Edward spared the life of the stricken one, looked around, and saw that the other charging Ratmen were also showing the same behavior, screaming as they retreated, prompting the Duke Wolfsbane to withdraw the Sting of Fear.
There’s no need to fight anymore; the Ratmen are fleeing despite having the advantage of surprise.
He swiftly moved past the field filled with corpses and blood to stand beside Lord Paryen, who was repeatedly charging on his Aurora, and said to the Millennium lord:
"Something has happened that I cannot comprehend, but these guys seem to have suddenly gone into chaos, their fearless state vanishing."
"Hold on!"
Lord Paryen had also noticed the anomaly.
He flicked the blood off his Holy Spear, rode his Aurora skyward, and looked down upon the battlefield.
Not just the Ratmen at the front; those in other directions were also exhibiting varying degrees of disorder.
This is definitely not a tactic!
Because the Ratmen were retreating in different directions, without any order or structure, as if shattered into eight pieces. They were scattering like bees, seeming to devolve from a goal-oriented legion to instinct-driven beasts.
Like...
Like a hunting dog’s collar being removed, turning it into a stray dog.
"Hey? Hey! Lord, can you hear me?"
As Pa Ying pondered, the Blood Crystal Stone in his arms vibrated, and Murphy’s slightly weak voice resonated from within, prompting the lord to take out the Blood Crystal Stone, with the scarlet glows revealing Murphy’s current situation before him.
He was being armored with the help of Count Bai of White Mountain and the Duke of Blood Fear.
Beside him were enormous jackals in Eden District security uniforms, and surrounded by Transylvanian warriors.
The lord instantly recognized several uniquely styled vampires, like the muscular bald vampire with arms crossed, whose garish appearance was an affront to the vampire tradition of elegance, unforgettable at first glance.
"I shattered the Ratmen’s mind control crystal; unless the Twilight believers create a new one, they can’t control the Ratmen anymore.
Based on my understanding of them, once their shared mind control is lost, their first reaction will absolutely be to flee. These poor fellows have never tasted freedom since their inception; the hollow feeling must have scared them senseless...
In any case, the Ratmen are no longer a threat!
Make sure to disperse as many dwarves as possible before the Jackal army enters the ruins; it doesn’t matter where they go—the place can’t be held anymore.
Ligurian Peninsula is destined to be the next battlefield; I’m counting on you for that."
"Understood, thank you for all you’ve done for the Brass Dwarves, Murphy. I’ll be sure to tell them of your heroic deeds."
The lord nodded, exhaled a long breath, then asked:
"What about you? Where are you headed now?"
"I’ve accepted the Elf Ranger General’s gift, now I must support Prince Filoseer, but it’s unrelated to your actions, so no need to worry."
Murphy replied:
"I’m contacting you not only to boast but to inform you; your God Slayer plan must proceed immediately, as once the Jackals enter the Ligurian Peninsula, the awakening of The Master of Hunting is imminent."
"I’ve already contacted a group of strong individuals willing to contribute to the peace effort."
The lord said solemnly:
"Once I confirm the defense of Charldo Harbor, I can depart immediately. Is the Wise Wolf ready over there?"
"The creator’s vanguard is arming!"
From the massive Black Power Armor beside Murphy, Wise Wolf’s voice issued, Hog firmly answered:
"We’re ready to set off anytime."
"Good, then await my message, swiftly recover the Elf Ranger Legion, Miss Filoseer is also a God Slayer, ensure her safety."
The lord advised before cutting the communication and returning to the ground.
Old Edward eyed him curiously, Pa Ying briefly explained the truth, and upon learning Murphy dealt with the Ratmen, the Duke Wolfsbane squinted.
He realized he might have underestimated the Crimson Witch’s little white face and pondered how to quickly improve their relationship.
"Once things here are settled, you need to visit Murphy."
Lord Pa Ying removed his helmet, shook his black hair, told Old Edward:
"He’ll help recover those forgotten ancient memories."
"Hmm?"
Old Edward felt a jolt inside but nodded outwardly calmly, saying:
"Hmm, I was wondering how you’ve changed so much all of a sudden, turns out your memories were recovered. It seems our friend Murphy is quite remarkable.
