Chapter 813 Uninvited Guests
Just here, when Zhou Xu was sleeping soundly from exhaustion, outside the southern border of their Great Zhou, a group of figures were approaching the border line cautiously under the cover of night.
At this moment, no one knew what happened, their bodies froze one after another, followed by a muffled sound of heavy body falls to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they fell directly to the ground.
Such a scene was indescribably weird under the dark night.
After a while, after confirming that those guys who fell to the ground were dead, the scene nearby showed a visible distortion.
Then, a group of green figures with slender hands and feet, a pair of exaggerated protruding eyeballs, and hanging there like two big light bulbs slowly appeared, which was the Chameleon Lurker.
Chameleon Lurker is fragile and has poor mobility. The only advantage is that it has the ability of environmental mimicry. With this ability, they can achieve "invisibility" to a certain extent.
However, this "invisibility" ability is basically exposed as soon as it moves. If you want to maintain "invisibility", the body must remain still.
Chameleon Lurkers lack mobility, and can even be said to lack the ability to move. Even as an assassination unit, they are not very useful, let alone on the battlefield of frontal attack.
However, as a sentry for warning, they can play a good effect.
The uninformed enemy sneaked up, thinking that he was not exposed, but he didn't know that all his actions had been seen by the "invisible" Chameleon Lurkers.
This is the advantage!
Soros has made many deployments along the entire border line in the southern border.
Now the value of his deployment has undoubtedly been reflected.
Before approaching the target corpse, the Chameleon Lurker blew the bird whistle on his body, imitating the sound of a bird to send a signal to let the nearest patrol team come over.
The patrol team that received the signal came quickly. It was a team of green lizard short spearmen. They were swift and quiet, and with a large number of people, they were the best choice for night patrols here.
After the patrol team arrived, they confirmed the target as soon as possible.
It's ratmen! The group of figures that sneaked up on them in the middle of the night were the ratmen that hadn't appeared for a long time!
And the cause of their death was also very clear, that was the Chameleon Lurker's blowgun assassination.
After quickly confirming the situation, the patrol team took the bodies of the ratmen and rushed back to report as quickly as possible.
It was two o'clock in the morning, and Soros was sleeping soundly, but was awakened by this news.
There was no time to get angry. Soros, who realized that something was wrong, confirmed the bodies of the ratmen as quickly as possible.
"What the hell!"
Looking at the bodies, Soros couldn't help but curse.
[Didn't we kill all the ratmen at that time? After they escaped, they have now formed a scale again? ]
[No, even if they have formed a scale, it is impossible for them to develop to a stronger level than before in this period of time. Those stinky rats know our strength, how could they come to die? We should hide as far away as possible. 】
【According to this line of thought, these ratmen are probably from other ratmen clans...】
Ratmen are a species that can reproduce in large numbers. Dozens of ratmen can reproduce hundreds or thousands in a short period of time.
For a species with such a strong reproductive ability, the lizardmen certainly would not think that there is only one Claw Clan.
【Has this ratman clan lived here for a long time, or has it just moved here recently? 】
Soros obviously couldn't figure out this question at the moment.
But he didn't need to figure it out. He only needed to know one thing now, that is, they might have to go to war with the ratmen again.
After all, in this winter season, what does it mean for ratmen to appear nearby? He knows it very well.
Now that the other party's reconnaissance team died near their border, the other party will soon notice it and can't hide it at all.
"Pass my order to raise the alert level to level one."
After issuing this order, Soros quickly called the pterosaur rider to pass on the message.
While it was necessary to inform Bolewen of this news as soon as possible and ask him to provide logistical support, he also had to report to their majesty.
This night, Soros was destined to have no peace.
After such a thing happened, you asked him to go back to sleep, but he couldn't sleep, so he simply thought about the subsequent deployment.
Since the Claw Clan was destroyed by them, their Lizardmen ended the war with the Claw Clan that lasted for unknown years.
In the past few years of peace, the comfortable days really made him a little confused, and it was time to wake up.
Recalling the past wars, Soros's brain turned at high speed around the possible actions of the ratmen next.
In this state, a night passed quietly.
On the second day, somewhere outside the southern border of their Great Zhou, a ratman army had moved nearby.
The situation in the southern border is quite special. Because large tracts of land have not yet been officially developed, this side is basically an empty shell.
This also led to the garrison troops on the border not daring to make any big moves outside. Even if they would conduct appropriate exploration outside the border, they would not go too far, and their main focus was to defend the border.
The location of this ratman unit is obviously beyond the scope of their patrol unit's daily activities. Unless Soros suddenly orders to expand the patrol range, it will not be discovered at all.
"My lord, one of the reconnaissance teams sent out last night did not come back."
After hearing the report, a ratman with sparse hair on his head, exposed skin and flesh, and slightly ugly and ferocious appearance raised his eyelids.
The reconnaissance team sent out is composed of regular soldiers of their ratmen. They have a high status in the tribe and the probability of being a deserter is very small.
If they did not come back, it is likely that something happened.
[It seems that something happened to the Claw Clan. Was it destroyed by the Lizardmen? ]
The thought flashed through his mind, and the ratman leader quickly spoke...
"Continue to send teams for reconnaissance and find out the identity of the other side."
Their Corrupted Clan and the Claw Clan have always been neighbors.
For so many years, their two clans have always maintained a safe distance, and no one has approached each other. This practice has allowed them to live in peace for many years.
However, such actions are not entirely due to the identity of the same clan, but more because there are other threats on the other side of their respective territories.
Among them, the Claw Clan is facing the Lizardmen.
The Corruption Clan knows that the Claw Clan has been fighting with the Lizardmen for many years. Under this premise, how dare the Claws offend them?
In such a situation, it can only be said that the north has changed hands!
As for why the troops of their Corruption Clan appeared here at this point in time?
Of course, it is because the threat has been resolved by them, and it is winter again, a season of food shortage, which makes the patriarch of the Corruption Clan have the idea of annexing the Claw Clan, while obtaining resources, expanding the size of the clan, and then looking for an opportunity to defeat the Lizardmen.
So, they came!
If nothing unexpected happens, there will be more updates after 10:30
