Chapter 115, Unique Opportunity and Choice
The reform of the boar knights did not bring about a complete reversal.
Quite the contrary.
This was discovered by Sheng Qi.
For a long time, there were no traces of boar knights in the lush forest, and there were more and more elite heavy armored soldiers on the city walls.
This abnormality was discovered.
A possibility was raised and gradually confirmed.
He was a lucky guy and had always been like this.
If those boar knights really disappeared as he guessed.
Then a unique opportunity appeared.
An opportunity to abandon the stalemate in the lush forest and rush directly into the boar hinterland.
When this possibility appeared, Sheng Qi was excited.
But he quickly calmed down and was troubled by this matter.
He couldn't tell whether this was a trap.
What if the group of knights appeared when entering the boar hinterland?
Such a scene represented an unprecedented defeat.
Sheng Qi hesitated. He didn't have the courage of Shu Zhan, nor was he decisive enough.
He was reluctant to leave the power in his hands, and was also afraid of accidents.
If the Western Expeditionary Force in his hands was destroyed, then everything would return to the starting point, and he would still be a young rat priest in the outpost.
This made him cautious.
Hesitantly at the edge of the lush forest, looking at the unfamiliar plain outside the forest.
After a long hesitation.
Until a troop split from his men and resolutely rushed into the unfamiliar plain in front of him.
It was the old priest.
A new flag was raised, and one-fifth of Sheng Qi's troops were taken away, and half of the rat knights were taken away.
It was an old rat who was about to go crazy.
Compared with Sheng Qi, he was old and aged, but more crazy and greedy.
Sheng Qi did not stop the old priest, or rather, he could not stop the old priest.
In the rat army, a large number of priests were originally the subordinates of the crazy old priest.
Sheng Qi, who had not completed the integration of the army, could not control the army at all compared to Rat Zhan.
Sheng Qi could only watch the old guy go away.
Inexplicable irritation was brewing in Sheng Qi's chest, but he had never been able to make that decision.
Sheng Qi had received the news that the Central Expeditionary Force had begun to arrive.
The size of the army in his hands would continue to expand in the future.
There was no need to take such a risk at all. Even if the Central Expeditionary Force was gathered, it would still not be able to defeat the wild boars in the lush forest.
There would be a steady stream of ratmen arriving in the barren mountains in the future. In this great holy war, everything did not need to be urgent.
Even if his boss was unreliable, the white rat would not tolerate the failure of this holy war.
Just wait for a while, and these wild boars will be easily crushed and flattened.
Why take a risk?
He was not that old guy.
He only needed to win this war smoothly, and he would become the hottest big man in the underground rat city.
And that old guy was just a slave-catching priest rolling around in the outpost!
He comforted himself in this way.
But obviously, the old guy who had been rolling in the outpost for a lifetime was more decisive and resolute than him.
In the end, Sheng Qi still did not make up his mind. He chose the most correct and safest choice, staying in the lush forest waiting for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.
Many times, there is only one chance to choose.
………….
The 20,000-man rat army broke directly into the hinterland of the wild boars, led by a crazy old priest who was about to face death.
Everything along the way was cruelly destroyed.
The old priest did not encounter the large army of wild boars, one because a large number of wild boar troops piled up in the lush forest and were still in a stalemate with the large army of rats in the forest.
Second, this crazy old priest did not stay in any place for too long.
The crazy run never stayed in a certain place for a long time and destroyed everything along the way. All that could be left was a blazing fire, piles of corpses, and the simple altar.
This old guy was offering sacrifices to the gods in his own way and praying for blessings from the gods.
The destroyed boar towns were sacrifices, the boar civilians piled on the crude altar were sacrifices, and the golden wheat fields that were trampled and set on fire were also sacrifices.
All were sacrifices, all were sacrifices!
He wanted a gift! He only wanted a gift!
He ran wildly in the boar kingdom in an irregular manner.
And finally rushed closer and closer to the goal he had originally envisioned.
The city where the temple of the heretic evil god was located, the capital of the boar kingdom, the fertile city surrounded by golden wheat waves, the Golden Wave City, rushed there.
………….
This was really an incredible thing.
At least for the boar high priest.
He had just woken up and was still weak, and faced such news, he roared angrily.
Not only because of the incompetence of the army left in the kingdom, but also because of those bastards who were indifferent in the lush forest.
How could they just let the ratmen go? Those damn bastards, those damn bastards!
That day, the boarman high priest threw away the most important bargaining chip in the priest camp.
He gave up the industrial city.
Without notifying the boar commanders, the boar priest started to return to the rescue as soon as he woke up.
He led the boar warriors originally stationed in the industrial city to rush to the heartland of the boar kingdom.
But it was too slow!
It was still too slow to rely on infantry alone! This speed was simply too late!
All that came into view were ruins and flames.
The golden wheat fields were set on fire, the flames burned the earth, and the soil became dry and hard.
The town turned into ruins, and the corpses piled up on the simple altar, no one cleaned them up, and they rotted and stank silently.
The defense plan originally formulated based on the high mobility of the boar knights completely collapsed after the reform of the boar knights.
But for a while, no new plans were proposed.
The hinterland was completely empty. As early as when the war was in a stalemate and disadvantage, a large number of troops originally stationed in the hinterland of the kingdom rushed to the battlefield with repeated increases.
The fact that the ratmen never crossed the lush forest and directly attacked the hinterland made the wild boars a little delusional, and gradually their eyes turned red. The chips were constantly added to the lush forest.
Perhaps the lush forest was too important to the ratmen.
Perhaps the ratmen's supply line was not enough to support them to rush out of the forest.
Perhaps these rats were all stupid.
Little did they know that these were all wrong. The lush forest was insignificant to the ratmen, and the ratmen leaders did not care about supply lines at all.
When they got angry, even the most elite troops would eat tree bark and grass roots and even eat each other.
The ratmen were not stupid.
There was only one reason why they never tried to attack the wild boars' hinterland.
The super-large-scale elite wild boar knights existed.
But now, these knights seemed to no longer exist.
