Chapter 288, Gambling and the Turning Point of War

The rat trolls are tearing the battlefield apart. These guys with strong vitality can even resist the suffocation caused by the collapse of the tunnel for a short time.

They struggled to climb out from the underground of the barren area that was plowed by the elemental chaos cannon again and again.

Their vitality is too strong, which is a bit unimaginable, but it is not surprising. The distorted creations are beyond the scope of ordinary creatures.

Rat War equipped these guys with heavy armor and heavy maces.

He wanted to use these rat trolls as a heavy-duty monster.

The effect shown was no different from Rat War's judgment, but there was a slight deviation in the details.

The rat trolls gave up the specially customized maces and the heavy metal armor.

Under the influence of distortion, these guys' arms grew excessively, and they were hideous and thick. They were no longer the same as ordinary ratmen. Their hands dragged on the ground, which was more similar to something else than ratmen.

Orangutans.

Orangutans with ratmen's heads and bigger.

Such a body structure limits their ability to hold and hold. Once they start running, they will unconsciously use their hands and feet together. The huge maces in their hands will also be thrown away casually in the process.

These guys are just more stable and can accept certain orders and wisdom, but they are not smart enough, at least not as smart as ordinary ratmen warriors.

The distortion still has a certain impact on the minds of these guys.

But this also brings advantages. Although these guys are not as smart as ordinary ratmen warriors, they are not like those guys who are always assessing the situation and preparing for strategic shifts all the time.

And they don’t necessarily need weapons. Under the blessing of that extremely huge power, even with bare hands, the human knights in the hands of the rat trolls are probably no different from toys.

For these reasons, most rat trolls will not use additional weapons or wear armor.

The reason for not wearing armor is not complicated. At least it is not because of the poverty of the rat war, but the characteristics of the distorted creation itself.

In the chaotic bombardment of humans, the distortion will be accelerated, and the flesh and blood will become extremely active at this moment. The heavy armor will not play any protective role in such a situation, but will become an obstacle.

The broken and rolled armor will be quickly wrapped by the flesh and blood in the accelerated distortion, and pulled into the body. Not only will the originally disordered distortion become more chaotic, but in great pain, the sharp metal fragments will continue to create wounds in the body of the rat troll in the wriggling of the flesh and blood.

This is not a good situation.

It also made Rat War give up wearing armor for these guys.

Running wildly on the battlefield with a savage posture similar to the skinned giant rat, but compared with the skinned giant rat, these rat trolls are more controllable and safer.

The rat trolls are being quickly filled into the army of the ratmen.

If the battle situation is not so tense, the first use of these expensive guys after their birth will undoubtedly be the guards of those rat priests, or to assume the duties of a personal guard.

However, in this crazy tug-of-war war, the current situation cannot afford to waste. The rat trolls have just emerged on the battlefield and were incorporated into the entire Eastern Expeditionary Force as a scattered unit.

In the second war of gods, the division of the army in the rat war was based on the nesting of small formations.

Although such division was abandoned by him not long after, the enemies to be dealt with in the past did not require too many tactics. Gathering together and driving forward, just these two points were enough.

But at this time, the abandoned things were picked up again.

Senior ratmen, young ratmen, rat trolls, priests accompanying the army, and various ratmen squad leaders.

In fact, the structure of the rat army has not improved during this period of time, and even regressed. With the rapid expansion of national strength, the rats have not encountered a difficult opponent for a long time.

Well, maybe they have encountered difficult opponents on the vast grassland, but the open environment on the grassland and the enemy's cavalry-based army structure are destined to be a wise choice to stick together.

It's different now.

Trench warfare, positional warfare, the command of the army must be distributed more finely. Every part of this long front is in the outbreak of war, and the ratmen warriors who are spread out are gradually losing command.

If it continues, the ratmen themselves will usher in chaos.

For such a situation, Rat War’s solution is very simple, or in other words, he has always tended to deal with some complex problems simply.

The division of the squad was left behind, and the position of the squad leader was put on the merit exchange table, and it didn’t matter who wanted to be the captain.

As long as you can survive in this war for a long time and accumulate merits, it will not be difficult to exchange for the position of a squad leader.

Young ratmen are still being sent to this battlefield in an endless stream, and the ratmen have never lacked soldiers.

Unexpectedly, the position of the squad leader issued this time is quite valuable, a clear organization.

You can gather a squad of 1,000 ratmen warriors in your hands, which can be exchanged for a rat troll, and the high-ranking rat priest is also in the scope of assistance.

The Ratmen team inherited their usual characteristics and was called a squad, but this scale is like a small army.

The leaders of these squads are simply beggars' version of Ratmen warlords.

The main body of the team is a mixture of thousands of young Ratmen and senior Ratmen warriors, Rat Troll monster units, Ratmen priests, giant rats, war machines, and big claw priests.

Well, unknowingly, the merit system of Rat War has included all kinds of messy things.

Of course, those Ratmen priests and Big Claw priests did not sell themselves to Rat War or the Eastern Expeditionary Force, but existed as a kind of employment. As long as you can afford the merit, these guys will temporarily belong to your command.

This is a very flexible structure.

It is also a helpless compromise. After the shelf is completely spread out, Rat War made a compromise to increase the control of the huge army in his hands.

The rat war whipped the rat warlords, the rat warlords whipped the rat squad leaders, and the rat squad leaders whipped the rat warriors in their hands.

This progressive progress prevented everything from being so chaotic.

The rout of the rat warriors in the front-line fortifications stopped, and the newly appointed rat squad leaders showed great enthusiasm in order not to be hanged on the battlefield by the rat priests above them.

After all, it is unlikely that a large number of routs will be captured and executed in such a chaotic environment.

But it is not too difficult to just keep an eye on these squad leaders.

How to say it, during this period of time, there was even a situation of fighting to the death, on that front line.

This is a very direct plan. After being incorporated into the system of the rat warlords, although he is only a small squad leader, it is different from before.

The rats who are afraid of death and cowardly should resist, resist this small position, but in fact it is just the opposite.

Some rat warriors began to take the initiative to take risks.

Rat War has always used the same old tricks, and they have always been so effective. In the past, it was the Rat Warlord, and now it is the Rat Warlord plus the Rat Squad Leader.

It's the same old tricks.

Hanging a big pie high up, does he really care about the Rat Warlord in his hand? Not necessarily. It is certain that he hangs this big pie for himself.

But at least the pie he hangs is real, but after using the most useful routines continuously, the effect will not be as good as before. The solution is also very simple, put this high hanging pie lower.

In the Eastern Expeditionary Force, the merits required to become a squad leader this time can be said to be the least in history. It seems that you can really reach it by just tiptoeing.

But everything has a premise. If you survive, then what you hold in your hand is real.

Those Rat Squad Leaders who fight to the death do not understand this point. They have just taken office for a few days, and they are fighting so hard.

Although it is not surprising, after all, these guys are rats, greedy rats.

The noble coalition forces were defeated step by step. After the appearance of the rat trolls, and after Rat War officially put the pie down for a distance.

It seemed that the war was about to enter the stage of tilting the balance.

But the environment of this battlefield was not so friendly.

Rat War did not conquer the central plateau, and retreated in the biting cold wind. The brazen invasion of the rat warlords did not completely swallow up the Lianyan Province.

This is not a good situation.

Rat War has been seeking an opportunity to end this war quickly, but the commander of the noble coalition forces was stable enough and did not give Rat War a chance.

The entanglement between the two sides when they first met, the noble coalition forces did not chase Rat War who was adventurous and deep, when the elemental annihilation cannon was brought to the battlefield, they did not take advantage of the advantage to move forward, when the Eastern Expeditionary Force spread too much, and when Rat War divided the Eastern Expeditionary Force again, these were all opportunities.

But the commander of the noble coalition forces chose the most stable way to play.

This left Rat War helpless.

It's not that he didn't make a plan for such a situation. In fact, Rat War's preparations were not limited to these.

He deeply knew what the advantages of the rats were. The rats were not in vain in the war of attrition, but this was too delayed.

He shouldn't be so anxious. The logistics of the Eastern Expeditionary Force were all taken care of by the Rat Council, and even the merit system was undertaken by the Rat Council.

It would be safer to retreat to the Golden Province and start the endless confrontation. This would not be an unacceptable thing.

But how to say it, the Eastern Expeditionary Force can afford it, the Rat Council can afford it, but he, Rat War, can't afford it.

If the war can continue just by giving enough resources and weapons, then what is needed for him, Rat War, and what is needed for him, the Rat Commander, to do.

Rat War has begun to regret his compromise. Simply bowing his head has put him on the fire.

He must prove himself with victory and declare his indispensability, but he happened to meet a turtle.

Rat War was really annoyed, and this annoyance came from many aspects.

During this period, Shu Zhan was really selling flaws, just to lure the enemy's generals to attack him regardless of everything. Those were real flaws. As long as they were seized, a great defeat would be inevitable.

However, the opponent had no intention of seizing these flaws at all.

Rat War is a guy who likes to gamble. Among many ways to break this situation, he chose the most radical one.

As long as the noble coalition army starts to advance and the long defense line has loopholes, then Rat War will not hesitate to abandon his rat warlords and take his own troops to tear a hole in the defense line.

There is no retreat. Rat War has always been thinking about advancing.

He wants to force the huge Eastern Expeditionary Force in his hands to the rear of the noble coalition army, and wantonly abuse and run in the hinterland of the human empire. These guys will never have the opportunity to organize a solid defense line to hold him firmly.

Compared with humans, Rat War has never been overly worried about the fall of the rear. After all, at the junction of the two continents, the group of guys guarding there are really stinky and hard.

Well, it’s not the first time that Rat War has thrown out the temple guards to help. He has no psychology at all.

This is Rat War’s real strategy, a radical and risky choice.

It’s just that it died in the womb before it even started.

Such a failure is really hard to accept, and what is even more unacceptable is that he seems to be the only one who is anxious about the current situation.

It shouldn't be like this, the old guy should be more anxious than himself, why can he be so calm.

"Damn old guy, why don't you die earlier!"

On a high ground behind the battlefield, such angry shouts came from a large tent.

In various aspects, various situations, many things were beyond Shu Zhan's expectations, which made him very angry, but after being angry, he also wanted to think more about what to do.

No matter how you look at it, the current situation is very unfavorable for him. Perhaps retreating to the Golden Province to start defending is not a bad thing.

After all, as long as the war does not have an unprecedented great defeat, then he will be neither meritorious nor wrong. Although his prestige will inevitably be damaged in the process of shrinking and consuming, he is still the leader of this battlefield. As long as the final victory or defeat falls, the war is still won in his hands, then the loss of prestige will not be a big deal.

But Shu Zhan is not reconciled to this.

I am also preparing for the last gamble.

There should be another rare opportunity soon. It depends on whether the leader of the noble coalition will take action.

The ratmen on the main continent are about to burn out.
