The situation was more severe than Rhodes imagined. The rats dared to bite even such a big river crab, and maybe they would dare to take a bite when they saw a human being.

Rhodes summoned three wolves, six birds, stone beetles and marsh frogs to surround himself and Mira.

Although I am not afraid of mice, it would be unlucky if I were bitten by one of those things.

When the two arrived at the place where the crab was attacked, the big rat was still hanging on the crab's legs, and the carapace on the crab's legs had been gnawed out by it.

There is nothing the river crab can do to this mouse, its pincers are too short to reach.

Rhodes waved his hand, and a shadow wolf rushed forward, bit the mouse in one bite, and shook its head a few times to relieve the mouse's pain.

"It's so big." Mira looked at the mouse's body and saw that it was almost as big as a rabbit.

Rhodes looked around and asked, "Have you ever felt that the neighborhood is desolate?"

Mira nodded: "Well, at this time, the crops near Magnolia have sprouted, but here they are bare."

Not only the crops, there is almost no grass growing in the crop fields here. Those who don’t know better think that the fields have just been plowed and weeded.

After walking forward for a while surrounded by wild monsters, the situation became more serious near the village, with the bark of many trees being chewed off.

I saw mice running by a few times on the road. A pair of small eyes looked at them, maybe because they saw that they were "outnumbered" and ran away before they dared to approach.

Rhodes commanded the razorbill to shoot out its feathers, pinning the big mouse to the ground.

Shadow Wolf dug a hole on the side of the road and threw the mouse into it. Rhodes waved his hand and wrote flame text, providing a one-stop service.

Smelling the strange smell of burning, he took out two masks.

After Mira put it on, Rhode stared at her for a few seconds. Although it covered most of her beauty, her eyes looked even more beautiful.

Mira could probably tell what he was thinking because it was all written in his eyes.

There are no tall walls around the village of Lavender, only a somewhat crude-looking fence. It is unclear whether it is used to delimit the boundary or to prevent wild animals.

This thing obviously couldn't protect against rats. Rhodes saw signs of being gnawed by rats in many places.

There are many herbs hanging on the fence, and there are many burned out fires outside. If you look carefully, you can see some mouse traps, animal traps, and wire loops...

It seems that the village has thought of many ways to prevent and eliminate rats.

The two young men standing guard at the entrance of the village were obviously a little nervous when they saw a large group of animals approaching. They relaxed after seeing clearly that they were surrounding them.

The person who came up to say hello was Mira. She was an S-class mage and by default was the captain of this team.

Mira took off her mask and said: "Hello, we are the wizards of Fairy Tail, and we have accepted Mr. Jasper's commission to exterminate rats."

Rhodes lifted up his short sleeves to show his coat of arms, while Mira just pointed at the logo printed on the lapel - the real coat of arms was on her legs, so she couldn't lift her skirt.

One of the young people said excitedly: "You are finally here! Please follow me to see the village chief!"

The wild monsters were left behind by Rhodes at the entrance of the village with the remaining young man standing guard.

It was quite strange for a guard to appear in an ordinary village. Rhodes asked casually on the road.

The young man in charge of leading the way said: "We are responsible for guarding the fire. Because the activities of the rats will be particularly frequent at night, a fire will be set up outside the village to prevent them from rushing into the village. But in the past few days, the rats seem to be coming more and more.

The more bold you become.”

Rhodes felt that he might not be getting bolder, but getting hungrier: "Have you ever hurt anyone?" "Yes, two of my friends were accidentally bitten by mice when they went out, and they got mad after they came back.

I had a high fever for several days and almost died."

Those two are considered to be very lucky. Being bitten by a rat is a terrible thing. If you are unlucky, you will be infected with diseases such as plague. If you are not careful, your life will be lost.

The mayor of this village is the client, Mr. Jasper, a middle-aged man with Mediterranean hair.

When seeing Rod and Mira, the village chief was a little disappointed: "There are only two of them?"

Although I know that 200,000J is unlikely to invite too many people, I am still a little disappointed when I see only two.

"No, village chief. They brought nearly twenty strange animals. There is a wolf with two heads, which looks very fierce."

The village chief nodded, even more disappointed. They had tried biological control. It was okay to catch sporadic rats in the village, but nothing could be done about thousands of rats outside.

Last week, two dogs and three cats died when the village organized a rat hunt. Too many rats are really troublesome.

Although he thought so, the village chief still politely invited the two of them to come in and sit down, and asked the young man to take good care of the fire.

Mira followed the procedure and took out the power of attorney to the village chief for confirmation, and then asked for details.

“Actually, in the beginning, people only caught big rats in the village every now and then, and sometimes voles could be seen running on the road during the day.

No one cares about rats. How can there be no year without them? It is normal for rats to become more active after spring.

It was not until almost a month after the sowing was completed that there were no seedlings growing in the ground that everyone felt that something was wrong.

After that, I went to check everywhere and found that there were rat holes everywhere in the fields. The seeds had been eaten up long ago. The rats in the village became more and more ferocious. There were traces of rats gnawing on the clothes, rice bags, and roofs at home. At that time,

Only then did we realize that rats were infested.

We have tried various methods, such as drugging, making traps, and releasing cats and dogs, but we have only been able to almost eliminate the rats in the village. The rats outside have developed to the point where they bite poultry and livestock, and even hurt people.

We have also organized rat-catching operations, but with little success, and some people were injured. In recent days, the rats outside have even tended to invade the village in groups, which makes us very uneasy."

Mr. Jasper told them about the village's plight and looked at them with hope: "Is there that kind of magic that can kill all the rats at once?"

There must be some, such as goblin laws.

Once fired, it is guaranteed that not a single mouse will be left.

It is roughly equivalent to using nuclear bombs capable of directional explosions to accurately kill mosquitoes.

"It's a pity that the two of us don't have that kind of magic." Mira said, "But give us some time, we have other methods."

"Are they based on the animals that Lighten mentioned?" Jasper shook his head, "With all due respect, the number is too different, and your pets may be in danger."

"Of course it's not just them. You don't know much about us magicians, so quantity is not a problem."

Rhodes smiled confidently, "To be honest, as long as you give me a little time, I can fight thousands of troops by myself."

Mira looked at Rhodes with a smile.

"I alone am like a thousand troops." When he said this, he felt like his whole body was shining.
