Chapter 281, The war has changed

Pausing in front of the river, in the darkness, the rolling waves could not be seen, only the gurgling water could be heard.

In the distance, a little light appeared, it was the patrol boat patrolling the river.

Can't wait any longer, to be honest, Qi is not so at ease with the water in front of him, perhaps the experience of swimming in the bitter salt lake is too profound, even if the light is getting closer, but he still hasn't made a decision.

The rat people around Qi didn't urge him, and their respectful and admiring eyes fell on him, which is a rare state among rat people.

Or maybe it's because of the appearance of the rat people gathered around Qi.

Long and short hands, alopecia, missing ears, missing fingers.

Qi continued the previous style, he accepted many unqualified defective products.

These guys are waiting for Qi to make a decision.

Qi didn't disappoint them.

Gritting his teeth, he finally roared on the shore.

"Great God bless you!"

Behind him, the rat warriors responded excitedly.

He jumped up and jumped into the river in front of him. Of course, he was not unprepared. He was holding a thick log.

Even the guy who crossed the river did not take off his armor.

The rats fell into the river in front of him one by one, causing a lot of noise. They were noticed by the patrol boat not far away. A red light was hit in the sky, which was a warning signal.

The human soldiers on the patrol boat were as if they were facing a great enemy.

It was really that the rats' actions were too horrifying.

If it weren't for the arrival of those royal knights, panic would be the emotion that enveloped this area at this time.

The rats were different from the mountain people. Well, it seemed that there was nothing different. The mountain people never avoided blood sacrifice.

But how to say it, the mountain people retreated step by step in the attack of the rats.

The rats were more powerful enemies.

But in fact, there was no need to be so panic, because at this time, the leader of this army, the rat warlord who was already a big man, was holding the log tightly and rolling in the river with the water.

Well, although the temple guards can even wear armor to fight the Naga in the bay, the physical fitness required to do this is really terrifying, and Qi can't do it yet.

Rolling, rolling awkwardly, choking and drinking water.

At this time, he can't resist the attack on him, so the patrol fleet is particularly cautious about the large number of rats rolling in the river.

The rats under Qi are chasing their boss, and a large number of rats are sinking and floating in this river.

More lights appear in the distance, and more human warships are about to arrive at the battlefield.

In fact, they arrive very quickly.

In the dim light, these warships with rams began to rush on the river. The rats couldn't fight back, but they didn't plan to fight a water battle with the human side on this river.

The rolling log finally reached the shore in the bumps. The mud on the armor was washed away during the rolling process, revealing the bright silver armor. Qi vomited violently on the shore, pulled off the mask, and kept vomiting the muddy water mixed with bile.

This was really a difficult process, but he finally crossed it.

Stuffing a light red blood mushroom into his mouth, Qi suppressed the discomfort in his body, jumped onto a big rock by the river, and began to shout loudly.

Start to make a promise.

The ratmen around him were less than half of the number when he crossed the river, but this was not the final number, because there were still a steady stream of ratmen climbing up from the river.

The human warships did not pursue anymore, and fighting on land was not what they were good at.

Circling over the river as a background.

These ratmen were quite convinced of what Qi shouted, after all, Qi had always given most of them, which was the basis of trust.

"We are going to kill those heretics, and we are going to start a grand sacrifice.

To offer to the great gods!

You can also offer to the great gods.

This is my mercy, this is my gift!"

As he spoke, the ratmen gathered in front of the flag cheered enthusiastically.

In fact, this road may not be easy to walk. After all, in the first step of the lightning attack on the rear of Lianyan Province, the flag was caught red-handed.

But it is obvious that this guy will not retreat so easily.

The ratmen gathered enthusiastically under the flag and began to run wildly towards the unknown area in front of them.

The march of the flag began.

………….

In the nameless province, in the gullies, fierce competition is continuing, but the ratmen are gradually falling into a weak position.

The Dark Eyes Human Race, in the noble coalition.

What reversed the situation was the gap in weapons.

Some real elemental weapons were brought to the battlefield.

It is not surprising, after all, in the hands of many great nobles who formed the noble coalition, magic academies acted as the backing of the war.

The weapons that were carried onto the battlefield were crude prototypes.

Complex pipelines, huge volumes, and diamond-shaped crystals embedded in a bright silver structure. Each activation was like a ceremony, requiring a bunch of accompanying mages to perform complex debugging.

These were all shortcomings, but there was one thing that could not be ignored.

This thing, this elemental cannon, had a long enough range and was indeed powerful enough.

After the accumulation is completed, the terrifying riot element will be constrained into a sphere and thrown out in the acceleration of the ritual.

Able to strike out of sight, the unrestrained riot element can completely cover a small hill, and in the terrifying shock, it can effectively destroy the tunnels and underground tunnels.

Faced with this kind of thing, the rats seem to be a little helpless.

Obviously, the current war is no longer just a matter for the rat warlords and Shu Zhan alone to deal with.

After being hit by a bullet and almost buried alive by the collapsed tunnel, Shu Zhan began to seek help from the rat priests.

The Eastern Expeditionary Force now needs some help from magic power.

The terrifying catapults of the big claw priests are outdated. Although the big claw priests are reluctant to accept this, this is indeed the case. When facing the magic cannons of the ghost eye human race, these huge catapults are like some useless toys.

This makes them very frustrated.

But soon they found that there is far more to their frustration than this.

The momentary demise of the terrifying catapults does not mean that they can leave the battlefield. In fact, all parts of the battlefield now need the input of these guys.

The digging of tunnels, the construction of positions, and the stacking of ground fortresses.

The war has changed in form in a very short time.

The rats are indeed very good at digging underground tunnels and underground wars, but they cannot set up the entire battlefield underground.

The commander on the opposite side is not a fool.

If you invest all your strength underground, then the magic knights in the noble coalition will start to prepare a charge.

They will directly want to cross this long front line, and you can't even stop them.

The ground that is too open is the home ground of these knights. It is easy to advance and retreat.

Fortresses and tunnels are necessary. Rat war is not a guerrilla war. In order to maintain the stability of the rear, he must prevent these guys from crossing the front line.

Fortresses and tunnels are connected.

In a very short time, the rats built such a huge position, and the big claw priests played a great role, although they did not want to take on these tasks.

Too close to the front line, it was difficult to escape when being bombarded and the enemy began to advance.

But obviously, they could not refuse this job.

Such a powerful position construction ability made the human side suffer a lot. If they wanted to move forward, they had to eat these fortresses that rose from the flat ground and set up various war equipment, and cross the pits and tunnels that were connected together.

This is a very troublesome thing.

The rats also dug out intricate underground tunnels and large and small chambers under the position. The tunnel fortresses on the ground and the underground tunnels and chambers are connected together. You don’t want to know how many rats can appear around you in an offensive.

The interlaced gullies made the land in this entire area as ugly as if it had been bitten by a dog.

A large number of rat warriors were filled in this intricate tunnel.

Their mission was not complicated, and what they had to do was not complicated either. They just had to stay here and kill the enemies that appeared in front of them. That was all.

The interlaced gullies made these rats feel at ease.

At least for this young guy, he even had the mind to look around.

In fact, it was not that he was young. He had already participated in a war. Not long ago, he was mixed in with many rats and charged towards a city under the flag waved by the commander-in-chief.

It was just very lucky that when it was his turn to climb the city wall, the city fell.

He still clearly remembered the scene that appeared in front of him that day.

He was very scared and uneasy. The guy behind him kept pushing him forward, and rats kept falling from the towering city wall in front of him.

He watched himself being pushed towards the towering city wall little by little. Not far behind him, those cold devils raised their spears high.

Even now, when he thought of the scene at that time, his body couldn't help but tremble.

At that time, every step forward would feel fear, but here, he would feel more bored.

There is no need to move forward endlessly. Those cold devils will not stand not far behind you and wave their spears. You just need to wait in a quiet place.

It's even a little boring.

In boredom, the no-longer-young young ratman turned his head and began to climb the tunnel wall beside him. For a ratman, climbing such a not-so-smooth surface is not a difficult task.

Although he couldn't see anything particularly different after climbing up.

There were only interlaced tunnels and the surface of the earth that looked like it had been chewed by a dog, and even a little disgusting.

Oh, and there was a white light ball.

White light ball?

The no-longer-young young ratman had some doubts in his mind.

It seemed that he was thinking about what this thing was. Just when he was thinking, the light ball fell to the ground.

It suddenly expanded, and the chaotic and disordered elements swept everything in the way indiscriminately, leaving a block with mottled light and the earth that began to tremble.

The poor guy was right in the core area of ​​the attack, and he didn't even have time to feel the pain. He was dying in this terrifying magic shock. His flesh and blood were eroded by the elements and turned into turbid crystals. The surging magic kept shaking in the crystals until the balance was broken and the turbid crystals began to break.

Turned into a light spot, turned into a part of the violent elements, and spread in the world.

This is a very dangerous means of attack, and also a very efficient means of attack.

In general, in the area hit by this chaotic element, any creature that cannot withstand the erosion of the elements will be swept away instantly, and the elements that are instantly unbalanced in the area will also bring about the vibration of the earth.

You have to admire the business ability of the big claw priests. In the face of such a blow, they can still retain most of the tunnels they built.

This is the power of excellent architecture. Structural science is something that must be mastered to build a qualified underground city.

The shock of the elements gradually subsided as time passed.

The team of the noble coalition also appeared at the end of the sight.

In the absolute suppression of firepower, first use magic cannons to suppress the enemy, and then press on the army. This is a very suitable tactic.

More rats began to appear on the battlefield while being driven away. They were filled into the surviving tunnels and fortresses with uneasy spears.

The form of war is changing rapidly.

Although it is hard to say which war mode is more cruel to rats in the past and now.

In the past, endless rats rushed forward in groups, and then greeted their own deaths in fear.

Now, they greeted their own deaths silently.

If we look at the casualty rate, there seems to be no particular difference between the two.

After all, no matter what, a large number of humble guys will die in the end. Is there any essential difference between falling off the towering city walls and being bombarded into a ball of chaotic elements by magic cannons?

In fact, there should be, if you are more emotional.

Climbing the towering city walls and witnessing your own death with your own eyes, there are still some choices. You can die in anger, die bravely, or die in panic, anxiety, and despair.

Being blasted into a ball of chaotic elements by the magic cannon was a quick process without extra pain, but it seemed even more humble, with a feeling that your death had little to do with you.

Life seemed particularly humble.

But there was no need to think too much about this issue.

Humble guys were never qualified to decide their own fate.

For those warlords and high priests who could dominate their fate, there was only one thing these guys needed to do and could do.

Hold the weapons in their hands tightly and then go to meet the war.
