Chapter 67: Rat people never mourn their dead (monthly ticket adds 26 updates)
The two troops of kobolds and swamp fishmen rushed towards a certain location in the wetland under Huo's order.
The giant beasts soaring in the sky are still driving away the fleeing rat men in the swamp.
It seemed that they were consciously driving the fleeing rat troops in a certain direction.
Regarding this, the rat warlords hiding in the army naturally felt that something was wrong.
Being driven in a certain direction by the enemy is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
But once a rat warlord tries to stand up and take command, the giant beast falling from the sky will take his life without hesitation.
Everything seems to be heading in the worst direction.
It was just the Rat Commander who was mixed up in the Rat Army, the newly inaugurated Commander.
Rat Zhan was not alarmed by this.
"Just go for it, idiot, there will be a surprise waiting for you!"
………….
After the Battle of Old Qicheng.
Swarms of rats are scattered throughout this area. Even though Rat Zhan once ran here and gathered his troops, because they did not stay too long, there were still a lot of rat people left active in this area.
However, Shu Zhan has already left with his large army, and these guys can essentially be considered abandoned.
And as time goes by, these abandoned rat men are quickly gathering into groups.
A single rat-man cannot survive in this harsh area, and the surviving rat-men can naturally only gather into groups.
But it is foreseeable that these poor abandoned guys will eventually disappear due to the annihilation of the Wetland Kingdom and the difficult survival conditions in this wetland.
Until a team of rat men led by a rat man priest returned to the vicinity of Old Qicheng and quickly gathered these scattered rat men troops.
With the addition of these abandoned poor guys, the team led by the Ratman Priest suddenly expanded a lot.
Returning to the rat colony was also a relief for these poor abandoned guys.
Although what they didn't know was that this noble priest had returned to the enemy's hinterland, but he was not specifically here to save them.
On the contrary, the results may be quite opposite.
After simply determining the direction, this fanatical rat-man priest led the team around Old Qicheng with excitement on his face, and then led the team straight towards the deeper parts of the wetland.
………….
Although they were driven away by black dragon beasts along the way, the rat army was still slowly evacuating this bad wetland.
Although it was greatly delayed.
Along the way, Rat Zhan didn't show his head at all, as if he had disappeared. Even the fire in the sky made him doubt whether his guess was wrong.
Perhaps, the rat-man general did not mix with the rat-man army at all, but had left the army secretly with his personal guards.
But no matter what, now that preparations have been made, Huo is ready to completely leave the rat army in front of him.
The kobolds and swamp murlocs had already completed their rendezvous at the location given by the fire, and before the rat-man army could retreat, they were now blocking the last stretch of the rat-man army's escape.
The junction of wetlands and forests.
Just waiting for the arrival of the rat army.
It seems that the outcome is doomed. How can this panicked, frantically driven rat army, which has been running for days, deal with an ambush?
What if the participants in this ambush include a dragon beast that the rat people cannot deal with at all?
It was obvious that an unprecedented defeat was about to happen.
Right on the edge of the forest and wetlands.
The Rat Expeditionary Force, which was about to escape, stopped. The rats, which had been running wildly for several days, almost all had a heavy look of exhaustion on their faces, and their eyes were clearly bloodshot.
The expeditionary force, which had just set off, under the leadership of Shu Zhan, was already in a state of disarray. Only about 20,000 of the originally huge number of 80,000 were left.
Countless ratmen were thrown into the wetlands during wars. Whether victory or defeat, they were always accompanied by death.
And most of the dead were ratmen.
Unknowingly, the number of rat warriors and young rat men who fell in this swamp may have been more than the total of the three races of lizards, snakes, and kobolds in the Wetland Kingdom.
Deep confusion now echoed throughout the entire Skaven army.
Of course they will not mourn for their dead compatriots, whether they are rat warlords, rat priests, rat warriors and young rats.
Dead ratmen, many dead ratmen, cannot make these guys feel even a little bit sad.
Skaven do not mourn for Skaven.
But they value their lives.
But at this time, it was obvious that there was no choice, on the last stretch of the journey away from the wetland.
Wuyangyang's troops were deployed and firmly blocked the way forward.
If he retreated, he would also be intercepted by the giant dragon swooping down from the sky.
Now, there is no escape for these rats.
But this is not a good thing.
A pair of bloodshot eyes were gradually becoming bloodshot, intense emotions were rising, and even the fatigue of running for several days was temporarily left behind.
Scarlet eyes stared at the shadowy enemies in front of him. The original joy and luck of escaping were interrupted in an instant, and fear crawled back into his heart, accompanied by a desperate rage.
The chaotic and reverberating emotions gradually suppressed the rat people's ability to think.
In simple words of description.
This group of rat men were driven into panic.
Gradually, the rat men are slowly entering a violent state, their eyes are completely red, as if they are actively going berserk without the help of the rat man priests.
And finally after a sharp neigh.
The noisy sound swept through all the rat warriors present like a wave.
"Kill them! Kill them!"
“Damn guy! Damn guy!
"I'm going to cut off their tails!"
"For the gods!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
If you could use a simple sentence to describe the current state of these rat people.
So probably, crazy.
Under the pressure of that damn lizard man, all these rat men went crazy.
At this moment, the timid nature has been completely suppressed.
The rat people rushed towards the kobolds and swamp murlocs blocking them in front of them like dancing.
The swamp fishmen who were curiously looking at these strange rat-men were startled by the claws and fangs.
But then, something even more frightening happened when the rat people swarmed up.
The swamp murlocs who were the vanguard collided with the crazy rat people in a panic, and the bone club they were waving in their hands was directly snatched away.
In the past few days of running away, the rat people had already lost everything they had in order to run faster.
Whether it was weapons, armor, or the tail necklace that symbolized glory, they were all thrown away, just to run faster, just to survive.
At this time, the things in the hands of these swamp fishmen became a supplement.
After snatching the bone club and knocking down the fish-man, after his animal nature completely overwhelmed his intelligence, the rat-man behaved more like a real rat.
During the continuous escape, these guys had not eaten for a long time.
The rising hunger has no restraint in the surging animal nature.
But now they were facing the weak murloc again. Regardless of the smelly mucus on his body and the environment he was in, he was no longer afraid of the dangers around him. The first batch of crazy murlocs that collided with the swamp murlocs The rat people bit it without hesitation.
Screams of pain have echoed on the battlefield, but they are not coming from the rat men.
Instead, it was issued by those fish people who were eaten alive.
This brutal scene made these swamp fish people who had the habit of using corpses stunned.
