Chapter 278, The Power of the Dark-Eyed People

The Ratman Raiders are a group of very unremarkable guys even in the military units of the entire Ratman Empire.

But it is extremely difficult to become a Ratman Raider.

It is more difficult than becoming a member of any of those elite Ratman, even including twisted flesh and blood transformers like Ratman Skinners.

Only one out of thousands of Ratman can withstand the transformation of deformed flesh and blood, and there is probably not one guy who can be a Ratman Raider among thousands of Ratman.

Even among the Ratman, among the vast number of Ratman, Ratman Raiders can definitely be called one in ten thousand, or one in a hundred thousand, and this number may be even higher.

Ratman have been sorting all their lives, and perhaps this word is the most appropriate.

From birth, those who are flawless and not too thin will stay, and those who can instinctively grab food will stay.

During the growth stage, those who can endure extremely narrow and crowded environments will stay.

Such selection happens almost every day. From birth to growing up successfully, and then standing on the battlefield, every ratman who can reach this step can be said to be one in a thousand.

But the selection is not over yet. In one war after another, only those who survive are qualified to experience the word growth and accumulate experience.

From young ratmen to ratmen warriors to senior ratmen warriors, and finally, ratmen raiders.

The conditions for becoming a ratman raider and becoming a ratman warrior to a senior ratman warrior are not particularly different in the process. There is only one way to survive in the war.

It's just that ratmen raiders have to live longer.

If you pay attention to the battles of these guys, you will find that the fighting methods of these ratmen raiders are not particularly different from those of most ratmen warriors.

They all wave their spears in their hands and dodge the enemy's attacks so skillfully.

There is only one thing that ratmen warriors find difficult to do. Ratmen raiders can cooperate with their companions very smoothly according to the situation.

They are using their own judgment as the most appropriate response.

This makes their battle process particularly smooth, and these guys are also the most outstanding group of guys among the ratmen who can show the power of the group.

Three ratmen runners surrounded a magic knight. Just a face-to-face encounter, two spears suppressed and blocked the magic knight's retreat, and a spear was protruded from a tricky angle. Just a face-to-face encounter, the magic knight was almost killed by these three ratmen runners.

These ultimate versions of ratmen warriors are not weak.

They are quite strong.

If they are not so selfish.

The cooperation of ratmen runners can only be achieved based on a very key point, that is, most of the ratmen runners can give a similar judgment, which is the basis of cooperation.

It's just a pity that these guys can only cooperate with each other in battle. As for further mutual trust and mutual entrustment, that is something that is impossible. .

A group of old-timers who have survived countless wars and crawled out of piles of corpses countless times can have any mutual trust. On the battlefield, the most important thing for them will not be anything else, but to stay alive, for themselves to stay alive.

In one war after another, they had enough experience in war and fighting. They knew what to do in what situation, and they knew how to kill the opponent as quickly as possible.

So they were able to cooperate very well.

The magic knight twisted his body forcibly, and the spear that stabbed at him from a tricky angle pierced through his armor, but failed to kill him immediately.

With a painful cry, flames began to appear on the magic knight's body.

The ratman raiders who besieged him began to flee in the screams. In other directions on the battlefield, another magic knight also noticed these guys, and a knight charged here.

The three ratman raiders avoided the expanding flames in a panic.

The guy who fell behind was locked by the running magic knight, and the dull sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer until the knight riding on a tall horse passed the flames.

Without any idea of ​​rescuing their companions, the two guys who ran the fastest were even secretly happy, after all, it was not them who were locked.

But what they didn't notice was that the guy who was left behind was not far behind them, and was even close to the two of them.

The magic knight raised his lance high, and the collision was about to happen. At this time, the last ratman runner grabbed the second guy among the three.

With a pull, the position between the two sides changed. When their figures crossed each other, the guy who was originally happy showed fear and anger on his face. He wanted to catch the damn guy who pulled him and drag this damn guy to death together.

But he didn't do it. Among the three ratman runners, the ratman runner who ran to the first one was the most powerful. Because of his strength, he ran the fastest. The second and third ratman runners were similar in strength, but one of them was better at calculating.

So the second ratman runner was pulled to be a scapegoat.

Amidst the dull sound, a figure was thrown high and landed heavily without a sound. After all, the ratmen runners were not wearing heavy armor like the fierce knights.

This guy still had such ferocity and unwillingness on his face, but it was a pity that he lost in both strength and calculation.

The two surviving guys immediately got into the rat group behind them and disappeared.

This group of guys was not united at all. If they really worked together, they might not be able to advance and retreat together, but unfortunately, they were so disunited, a group of selfish guys with sufficient experience and good judgment.

This may be the reason why Rat War didn't think much of them.

They were indeed a group of powerful warriors, but they would never be able to become a powerful army.

Not long after, the two fleeing ratmen runners came back, not only by themselves, but also with four other ratmen runners.

The battle had to continue.

This noble coalition was not so weak. Even in response to the sudden attack launched by Rat War, after the initial chaos, the situation was gradually stabilized.

Relying on enough magic knights.

Each magic knight can exist as an important node in this chaotic battlefield.

Each magic knight can also exist as a leader who can bear part of the battlefield.

In various blessings, gorgeous magic light columns appeared, and the elemental waves between each other tended to be unified in the collision. When all these happened, this chaotic army with different members from multiple provinces and nobles of all sizes was gradually integrated together.

The Youyan humans were able to defeat the large and small alien races on this continent one by one, and became the absolute overlord of this land in an unquestionable manner, relying on strength, and that strength came from the magic knights who gathered together.

The larger the battlefield and the larger the army, the greater the power that the magic knights can exert. These guys are born to exist as nodes of the army.

This was the first time that Shu Zhan experienced the true power of the Ghost Eye people, which was the most important power for the Ghost Eye people to support their dominance.

The Bone Chilling Plateau did not count, because it was a violent nature. The Golden Province and this nameless province that Shu Zhan did not even remember the name of did not count either. Even if one province was taken out alone, it would not be enough.

Shu Zhan still arrived early.

Farmers, town guards, mercenaries, strong or weak, these various soldiers were connected together in the network that continued to expand and connect everything, with countless magic knights as nodes.

The accompanying mages stopped their actions.

In the violently vibrating elements, they temporarily lost the ability to use spells.

This was a huge ceremony.

The ceremony could be held after the magic knights gathered enough and the human armies from multiple provinces gathered together.

Of course, it was not that mysterious.

Don't look at this scene as so big, but in fact, it was just a connection.

The commander is connected to the next level leader, the next level leader is connected to each magic knight, and then the magic knights, as the last level, directly mobilize the huge army and finally complete the integration of the entire army.

This is not a rare thing, but relying on this ceremony, this connection and communication is particularly efficient.

You can understand that relying on the power of magic, the ghost-eyed people have long achieved the circulation of orders from top to bottom during wartime.

But after all, it is the power of magic. Compared with real-time communication relying on the network and radio, this set of things has some other effects.

Various enhancement magics, and some particularly powerful battle magics.

Compared with the rats who can only stand shoulder to shoulder in a black mass, the generation gap of this technology has been pulled for more than one generation.

The rats were stunned.

The noble coalition turned around and showed the rats what wartime mobilization and magic technology are.

The tired retreat, the repaired advance, the weak points are supplemented, and the surplus points are mobilized.

Facing the ratmen coming from all directions, which were several times more than their own number, the human side easily held on in such a commander's efficiency, but the ratmen felt something was wrong the more they fought.

What they were facing seemed to be a solid wall, not only that, in the chaos, the fleeting opportunities were always accurately captured, the ratmen's front was forcibly divided many times, and a large number of ratmen were disrupted and eaten.

Morale was gradually falling.

Gradually, there were fleeing ratmen, although these guys would often be pushed back to the battlefield by the subsequent ratmen soon.

But this was not a good sign.

In the melee, the ferocious knights who were too close to the battlefield were attracted by the flaws sold by the noble coalition, and violently launched a charge, but were surrounded by the noble coalition.

This was a targeted lure, and the ferocious knights were fooled.

The noble coalition did not directly press forward with all its troops to try to eat the ferocious knights, but made a gesture of encirclement and pressure.

They wanted to attract the rats to rescue.

In order to stabilize the morale, Shu Zhan has indeed pressed forward, and the black flag appeared on the battlefield, which was particularly conspicuous.

But this calculation was wrong. Even if it was the Fierce Knights, when it was time to consume them, their losses would hardly make Rat War blink an eye.

The commander of the noble coalition army was unaware of this.

Rat War cooperated very well and mobilized the army to press on the besieged Fierce Knights.

Under Rat War's order, the Rat Man Supervisory Team began to push the Rat Man gathered on the field.

The human side was not to be outdone. A large number of magic knights acting as nodes gathered here, and the network vacated a blank space where the accompanying mages gathered.

Rat War noticed such a scene.

This crazy guy seized such an opportunity.

Almost a sudden turn of 180 degrees, the fluttering black flag rushed straight into the enemy.

The Rat War Guards, wearing the same armor as the Fierce Knights and holding short-handled hammers, dropped their weapons on their compatriots in front of them without caring, just to open a path.

It's also shameful to say that these guys are called guards, but in fact they probably can't catch up with Rat War.

For example, at this moment, Shu Zhan jumped up and stepped on the ratmen and ran wildly on the battlefield, while the guards could only vigorously wave their short hammers to clear a path in front of them and chased Shu Zhan frantically.

This raid has entered a very critical node

But many guys on the battlefield made different decisions.

The magic knights did not immediately return to help, but completely pressed on the violent knights.

The commander of the noble coalition was also ruthless and decided to eat the violent knights first. After all, no matter how crazy the rat was, there were still many troops blocking him and the army mages.

Shu Zhan simply gave up the violent knights. He and the commander of the noble coalition had the same idea and ate the most troublesome guys on the opposite side first.

The versatile mages of the army obviously meet the definition of the most troublesome guys.

As early as the siege of Jilang City, Shu Zhan had already experienced the troubles of these army mages.

Even though the human army was protected by various auxiliary spells and had greatly improved in all aspects, it was still vulnerable in front of Shu Zhan. Just one person was able to make the outermost formation of the noble coalition shaky.

A magic knight who came was caught by Shu Zhan and his arm was torn off.

Under the attention of the killing blessing, Shu Zhan found that he liked to tear the enemy to pieces on the battlefield more and more, not for other reasons, but just because he could clearly experience his own strength.

The magic knight whose arm was torn off was thrown aside casually, and in the desperate wailing, even the anger was slowly disappearing.

This is indeed a good way to relax.

Behind him, Shu Zhan's guards caught up, and these solemn guys in black armor gathered behind Shu Zhan one by one.

At this moment, this hairless guy was extremely terrifying.
