Chapter 16, Accumulating Strength
In this way, the Rat Man was divided into three parts.
The most numerous ones are slave rats, which are constantly digging holes to grow more cave mushrooms.
Next are the rat warriors, who are constantly attacking the lizard man positions every day, and they provide a steady stream of sacrifices.
There are also rat priests, who are the smallest in number and are responsible for conducting sacrificial rituals and cultivating and growing blood mushrooms and cave mushrooms.
Due to restrictions and food constraints, this cave can only support four thousand ratmen now. Of these four thousand ratmen, one thousand eighty are fighting the lizardmen, two hundred have become priests, and the rest are all beings. Beaten into a slave rat.
But the breeding of rat-men has not stopped, and even the troops in the hands of Spear Rats are being filled with rat-men every day.
This is not a decision given by Du Yuan, it is a decision made by the white rat himself. There are always losses in daily battles, but the cultivation of the mouse people is not a loss anyway. Even if he dies, he can still be used as a sacrifice. Cannon fodder, if you are timid, you will become a slave rat, if you are brave, you will become a rat warrior, or if you are more pious, you will become a rat priest.
But sometimes the population overflows, and the solution is very simple. If there is really not enough food, just sacrifice another batch of slave rats.
It can only be said that as a leader of the rat people, White Rat does not have any moral bottom line or humanistic care, and Du Yuan turned a blind eye to this.
As long as new babies continue to be born, it is foreseeable that when more caves are opened deep in the mountains and more cave mushrooms are planted, Du Yuan's group of ratmen will expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Population is war potential.
At dawn, the lizardmen left the forest, and each sentry tower entered the construction stage. At the same time, a small team led by a burly lizardman also launched a charge towards the ratmen entrenched on the hillside not far away.
Facing the charge of the lizard people, the rat people fled in all directions, running into the rolling mountains and disappearing.
This performance made Du Yuan's mouth twitch. He knew that this was a strategy, that the rat people were engaging in a harassment war.
But these damn mice ran so smoothly, which made people feel bad for no reason.
No wonder the first divine technique in the rat-man priest's inheritance is the madness technique.
Shaked his head.
Soon, after those arrogant lizardmen left, the rat people quickly ran back from the rolling mountains and gathered on the hillside again. In the vast sea, there were not even many lost ones, almost all the rat people. They are all back.
Because of the gregarious nature rooted in the blood of the rat people.
The weak ratmen must stick together to survive.
Thanks to this characteristic, Du Yuan's ratmen can still gather together again even if they keep running away.
The harassment day and night will continue, but the opponent's reaction is a bit puzzling.
Du Yuan didn't understand what the lizard people were doing, or what the gods of the lizard people were thinking.
They clearly had an absolute advantage, but they did not directly invade the mountains to find Du Yuan's altar. Instead, they built walls, and from time to time, teams of lizardmen rushed over to perform such inexplicable actions as if they were showing off their power. , it’s really puzzling.
Du Yuan is waiting for the number of rat warriors under his command to increase, for the digging of caves and the increase in the production of cave mushrooms. What are these lizardmen waiting for?
It's really confusing.
But this situation is a good thing for Du Yuan. Du Yuan was originally prepared to let the rat people and the lizard people fight guerrilla warfare in this complicated mountain range, and even dug out several false strongholds.
I'm going to play hide and seek in the mountains.
Although building walls and building sentry towers is a strategy, the mountain range occupied by ratmen is too barren. Even if they want to grow mushrooms, they cannot do without the resources in this forest.
It is true that we cannot let this group of lizardmen completely surround the forest, but that is a matter for later. For now, if we delay it, I will have the advantage.
After leaving the family world and returning to the dormitory, he was not well-informed and naturally did not know what happened in the school recently. If he knew, then he probably would not be surprised by the lizard man's strategy.
There is an extra banner in the school square, and there is also an extra young man standing upright with a dazzling smile on his face, who is working hard to introduce to the crowd gathered in front of him.
This young man is Li Sheng who is still fighting with Du Yuan.
This guy did not enter the world of the Familia to command the Familia. On the contrary, on the second day of the banquet, he widely publicized the news of his bloody battle with Du Yuan, causing an uproar among the lower-level students of the academy.
Everyone has learned about the specialness of this batch of anchoring. Some people are happy about this sudden change in the rules, some are sad, and even more sad. After all, according to the original plan, most of the trainees who have completed the anchoring only need to After the belief is stabilized, even if there are no resources, the subsequent path will inevitably be difficult, but most people will have the opportunity to try to become a demigod. However, the current rules have caused many students to become a few more. It's very pessimistic, because if they are defeated, they will probably have no fate with the word god anymore.
Some people are sad about this news, and of course some people are happy. After all, the initial anchor world is so much bigger. If you have the confidence to defeat competitors and monopolize this anchor world, then the road ahead will naturally be much easier. .
Suddenly, there was a lot of confusion and people's hearts were floating. Of course, this situation was only limited to ordinary students. Most students with backgrounds had already known about this matter and had been prepared for it.
It's not fair, but the world is hardly fair.
As Li Sheng revealed the news of his bloody battle with Du Yuan, he naturally became famous as a whistleblower.
So there was such a scene.
The banner in the square, the bright smile of Li Sheng, and even a video of a lizard man beating a rat man next to it.
What is playing is the story that happened on the edge of the forest.
A so-called mutual aid society was established today.
If Du Yuan saw this scene, there would undoubtedly be a twisted expression on his face.
No respect, no respect!
As for this guy's purpose, it's easy to guess. He wants to use his reputation as the first person to bring this matter to light to rally this so-called mutual aid association.
When more people join, it will be a good choice whether it is selling or selling.
As for why it must be sold, it is very simple. Although this guy's background is not bold enough, he is also a junior.
Although the mutual aid association does not set a threshold so students can join, it is estimated that most of those willing to join are just ordinary students.
Even if both parties can't sit together, Li Sheng can really benefit everyone!
