Chapter 18, The Rats Are Coming!

Du Yuan needs at least 3,000 rat warriors to deal with these 800 lizardmen. Before meeting Du Yuan, these ratmen had no classification or concept of rat warriors, but it doesn't matter, because they have it now.

To support these 3,000 rat warriors and the growing number of rat priests, all the remaining rats need to be put into the ranks of slave rats. According to the food consumed by slave rats, it is estimated that more than 4,000 slave rats are needed to complete the support of rat warriors and rat priests.

But in fact, according to the crazy exploitation attitude of slave rats and the pitiful food supply, one grain may be divided among three to five slave rats, so the actual number of slave rats may be 10,000 to 20,000.

This can barely support the 3,000 rat warriors of the ratmen, who are comparable to the concept of human militia.

Now, Du Yuan has accumulated nearly 1,000 rat warriors.

For the remaining 2,000, Du Yuan thinks it will take about six months in the clan world to complete the accumulation.

Du Yuan wanted Li Sheng to ignore him for a few more days, but today, the situation changed. At the edge of the forest, the lizardmen abnormally left the wall and began to gather on a large scale on the side of the desolate mountains.

Soon, a lizardmen army of 300 people appeared at the edge of the forest, including 100 lizardmen warriors and 200 lizardmen militiamen, and they were ready.

Almost at the moment of completing the preparation, the team rushed towards the ratmen army led by the spear rats in the distance.

But the spear rats were not stupid. They had no idea of ​​fighting against this lizardmen army. They fled to the depths of the mountains with many ratmen.

However, this time the posture was much different from before. The lizardmen did not chase the fleeing rats, nor did they show off their power in the abandoned station of the spear rats as usual, but began to advance into the depths of the mountains.

In the forest, another much shorter lizardmen team came out, carrying large and small logs, and built a sentry post at the base of the spear rats.

Du Yuan discovered this change, and the lizardmen began to exert their strength.

In the next few days, the lizardmen army began to advance madly as if entering an unmanned area. The rats did not organize an effective resistance and fled.

In a moment, the lizardmen advanced deep into the mountains.

At this point, from the starting point of the lizardmen army, they have already walked halfway to Du Yuan's altar.

Faced with such an increasingly dangerous situation, Du Yuan did not issue an oracle to the rats. He kept watching what was happening here, and the rats' spontaneous actions were also recorded in his eyes.

If it was not necessary, Du Yuan was not going to interfere with the arrangements of his own group of rats.

It is impossible to do everything by yourself, especially for the gods who control the lifeblood of an entire race.

Although this battle is quite critical to Du Yuan, he has been paying close attention to the development of things for so many days.

On the other side, a similar illusory shadow was also suspended in the sky above the forest, and his sight fell on the lizardman army that was far away from the forest and into the depths of the mountains.

He frowned, although he didn't think that a group of ratmen could transcend the shackles of race in such a short time, obtain a completely transformed change, and become brave and unparalleled.

But it was strange, too smooth, everything was too smooth, smooth enough to make people alert.

Li Sheng also didn't think that the person who dared to provoke him like this would be so reckless as to make no preparations at all, and have no trump cards at all.

So where exactly is the opponent's preparation and planning?

He looked at the lizardman army that went deep into the mountains, and the outposts that spread all the way, and suddenly he had a guess.

Was it deliberately let go? Could it be that the opponent's goal was to put their main force into the depths of the mountains.

But what can this do?

Does he really think that he can rely on those weak ratmen to defeat the lizardman army in his hands?

This possibility certainly exists, but Li Sheng does not think that the ratmen in Du Yuan's hands can do it. This barren mountain range is too barren.

Development is difficult to maintain, so how can it do more?

However, after this idea appeared in Li Sheng's mind, it could not be shaken off. No matter how much he thought about it, it was not right. This mountain range was too barren.

Even the goblins, whose survival ability was not much worse than that of the ratmen, could not be found in this mountain range.

Li Sheng did not understand.

Obviously, he did not expect that Du Yuan had accepted the blood sacrifice and burned the precious power of faith for that little bit of food.

Running wildly towards the road of the evil god, there will always be some special gains.

………….

At night, in this barren mountain range, the lizardmen lit a campfire. The dry wind blew with sparse sand and gravel on the hard scales on the surface of the lizardmen, making most of the lizardmen feel a little more uncomfortable, but it was just discomfort.

They are not as dependent on water sources as the amphibious relatives, the water lizards, who live near water sources and have lost most of their scales.

The hard and dense scales growing on their bodies bring good water retention and very good defense, and they are not overly afraid of dry environments and blowing sand.

However, if there is a choice, the lizardmen certainly prefer to move in dense forests.

The environment of this barren and desolate mountain range is really not comfortable.

In the camp, the strongest lizardman leader sat cross-legged in front of the fire, thinking about something. The overly smooth progress made him a little more worried.

Although the rats were weak, they were not without any resistance. It was just that during the advance, this group of rats had no idea of ​​resistance and fled.

The brave lizardmen warriors were disdainful of the weakness of the rats on the opposite side and began to proudly cheer for the victory that was within their reach.

But as the leader of the lizardmen, he could not be as careless as the warriors.

But what exactly do they want to do?

Suddenly, the commotion in the camp interrupted the lizardman leader's meditation, and he looked in the direction where the lizardman warrior was looking.

The answer seemed to have been revealed by the opponent.

In the distance, a ball of fire suddenly exploded and began to spread along the mountain range along the way they came.

That was the warning signal of the outpost!

In the distance, on the top of the towering mountain range, pairs of red eyes appeared on the mountain range, and there were so many eyes that it was difficult to count.

Under the soft moonlight.

A high-pitched sharp hissing sounded.

The rats are coming!
