Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash - Chapter 279

c278 Great victory

Generally speaking, human armies will collapse after a certain percentage of casualties.

But for the extremely hungry rats, this percentage is obviously higher.

When more than half of the rats were killed or wounded, the first rat to escape appeared among them – it was the rat that had previously snatched the corpse of its companion and barely ate enough.

Then the number of rats further decreased, and a few more began to flee, this time around the golem.

Even if they were furious and climbed on the golem and bit everywhere, they could only bite hard stones.

The golem didn’t care much about the rats on its body, just stepped on them and bent over to smash them.

However, the two floating guns would help him clean up.

Rhodes felt uncomfortable for a while and asked Lightning, “Can you help me get a few buckets of water?”

“I’ll go right away!” Lightning was watching the battle between insects and rats with great interest, but he immediately went to do it when he heard Rhodes’ request.

Mira asked him curiously what he was going to do.

Rhode said: “Add some disinfectant to disinfect the golem, otherwise it always feels a bit disgusting.”

“Won’t it hurt it?”

“No, in fact, it can’t be hurt by boiling water directly, but it feels too cruel.”

“Yes, and it’s hard to find such a big pot if you use boiling water.”

“Hmm, hm?”

Rhode was stunned for a moment. What did he need a big pot for? Did he put it in the pot to boil it? Did she misunderstand or did she do it on purpose?

The unscrupulous summoner fell into deep thought after making a hasty disinfection plan.

The two sides fought fiercely for a while, and the rats began to flee in large numbers.

A small number of worms were dragged away by the escaping rats, and most of them were besieging the remaining rats.

Rhode ordered the three void nest worms: “Chase them, hang behind them, and kill as many as you can.”

Are you stupid? Our barracks will chase you.

The three nest worms left the village entrance and chased the retreating rats. On the way of chasing, worms continued to be produced on their backs.

The newly born worms jumped forward and chased after them, their speed was even faster than that of the nest worms.

Jasper asked: “Mr. Rod, should we catch up? Take this opportunity to completely…”

Rod shook his head: “Leave the hunting of the rats to me, you have more important things to do.”

“What? We will definitely do it.” Jasper was very confident. Everyone’s enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high. He felt that everything could be done now.

“After the remaining rats are dealt with, the rat corpses around the village need to be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to cause epidemics.”

Rod said, “Remember to take precautions when dealing with rats, and there may be problems with the water source in the village. Remember to remind everyone to boil it before drinking.”

Jasper glanced at the buckets next to Rod, which were called by Lightning on request.

Mr. Rod was so thoughtful! He even specially tested the water quality for them in advance!

“Yes, I will arrange it immediately!” Jasper left with gratitude.

“Did he misunderstand something?”

“Maybe, but it’s probably because you did too well, right?” Mira had stopped throwing the ‘grenade’ and stayed by Rhode’s side.

“I’ll be very proud if you praise me like this. Well, how about giving you a reward?”

“No.” Mira covered his mouth as he leaned forward. There were so many people watching here.

The final encirclement and suppression work lasted for nearly half an hour. The worms chased the last few fleeing mice and ran out, disappearing into the darkness. The villagers cheered. Although they didn’t get rid of all the mice tonight, they had solved a considerable part of them.

And with so many worms, it was only a matter of time before they got rid of the remaining mice.

It’s only June now. It’s still time to plant some summer corn, sorghum, soybeans, and late rice. As long as you work harder, your life will hardly be affected.

It’s so lucky to be able to hire such a powerful wizard with only 200,000 J commission!

The villagers began to get busy. They used shovels, dustpans and other tools to collect the dead bodies of mice and pile them into small hills.

After that, they looked at the wind direction, built a simple incinerator at the downwind of the village, found firewood and charcoal, and burned all the dead bodies of mice.

The ash from the furnace burned today will become high-quality fertilizer and be spread on the farmland in the future.

Even the small black particles left by these mice will be swept and collected by the villagers and turned into fertilizer.

It was already very dark, but the lights outside the village of Ravendel were bright, a scene of busy work.

And Rhodes was busy pouring disinfectant on the golem.

He brought the disinfectant himself and it could be used by mixing it with water. The goal of this mission was to kill rats, so Rhodes was naturally prepared.

The golem stood there stupidly and let him pour it at will, and even squatted, stood up, and even lay down in cooperation.

Mira looked at the clumsy movements of this big guy and felt a little cute for some reason.

Jasper was busy organizing people to work, and would do it himself when necessary, but he still took time out of his busy schedule to find Rhodes: “Thank you for your help!”

“It’s a mission, you’re welcome.” Rhodes pointed to the collapsed fence and the bumpy road surface, “We will find a way to repair these tomorrow.”

The culprit who damaged the road is now a little embarrassed: “I’m sorry, I didn’t pay attention before.”

“Please don’t worry about it! We can fix these soon.” How could Jasper care about such a trivial matter? He knew the quality of the broken fence in their village very well.

The same goes for the road surface, which is just a few potholes that can be filled in later. The most important thing is to solve the rat problem.

Rhodes wanted to say something, but his face became paler.

The golem that was squatting on the ground suddenly disappeared, and the three nest insects that were chasing the rats also suddenly disappeared.

The worms persisted for a while, and finally disappeared one after another.

Mira saw that Rhodes was not in good condition and immediately stopped him.

“Mr. Rhodes?” Jasper was startled.

“I’m fine. It’s just that my magic power has almost reached its limit and I need to take a rest.”

“Please come to my house, the room is ready.”

Rhode’s arm was on Mira’s shoulder, and Mira’s right hand was around Rhode’s waist. Mira supported Rhode and walked towards the village chief’s house.

But before she had gone far, she suddenly came up with a good idea. She stooped slightly, hooked her left hand around the crook of Rhode’s leg, and hugged him directly.

Rhodes didn’t even react: “Hey~ Mira?”

Mira had a cute smile on her face: “It’s more convenient to go this way.”

Rhodes couldn’t laugh or cry: “But it’s very strange.”

“What’s weird? That’s how you hugged me the day I fell into the water.” Mira even weighed Rhodes and adjusted his position, and said with a smile, “Isn’t this very interesting?”

“…” Rhodes hugged Mira’s neck and pressed his face against her hair, “It seems so.”

Mira could feel his breathing and threatened slightly: “If you move, I will throw you away.”
