Chapter 43, The Second God War

A mighty march began, led by the lucky Good Eyes. This lucky ratman was lucky enough to survive again.

Because of his cowardice, when the White Rat was clearing up the rat priests, the Long Tail, who was in charge of logistics, was forcibly lifted up by his rat priests and led his slave rats to start a rebellion against the White Rat.

At that time, Long Tail contacted the Good Eyes, who was also facing the threat of liquidation. However, the cowardly Good Eyes had no desire to resist the White Rat.

Directly ignoring the request of Long Tail, the rat warlords did not make any movement in this riot. In the end, the rebellion led by the slave rats led by Long Tail was easily suppressed by the White Rat.

Amid the sneer of the White Rat, the cowardly but capable Good Eyes was left behind.

He still exists as a great warlord of the rats, the nominal lord of all rat warriors, and the biggest warlord among the rat warriors.

It was just that he had one more subordinate, a deputy.

That was a young ratman, a young ratman warrior named Shuzhan. Under the appointment of the white rat, he broke away from the temple guards and became the deputy of Haoyan, which was nominally the second in command among the ratmen.

………….

In the forest, compared with the first war between the ratmen and the lizardmen, the ratmen now had a larger army, more abundant logistics, and young ratmen who continued to join the army from the mountains.

It can be said that compared with the past, the current situation is very different. In this second war between the ratmen and the lizardmen, the ratmen can no longer take the lizardmen who suffered a lot of losses in the first war seriously.

After all, compared with the reproduction and cultivation speed of the ratmen, the lizardmen are really not good enough in this regard.

However, unexpectedly, the ratmen's crusade against the lizardmen was not smooth, even though the situation had reversed at this time and the ratmen became the dominant party.

But at the edge of the wetland, the first group of ratmen who arrived, numbering more than 30,000 and still increasing, suffered a heavy loss.

The edge of the wetland.

Countless ratmen warriors, with the cry of their leader, charged towards the swamp wetland in front of them, like a torrent.

But the momentum was inevitably slowed down after entering the wetland, and the ratmen warriors who entered had to move forward with difficulty in the muddy mud.

The environment here is extremely harsh, and it is not suitable for ratmen with short legs and black fur to move in it.

In contrast, their opponents, the lizardmen with hard scales, are much more adapted to this terrain, and can even be said to be like fish in water.

Whether it is moving forward or running, there are not many obstacles for these lizardmen. Even many experienced lizardmen warriors still take the initiative to sink their bodies into the swamp and wait for the arrival of the ratmen.

This makes the advancement extremely difficult. What's more, in this wetland, the ratmen face far more enemies than just lizardmen.

It was a large tribe of three scaly races.

This made the rats' offensive in the wetland more difficult, and what made matters worse was the serious lack of knowledge of the surrounding environment. To put it simply,

The rats were completely in the dark about this wetland. They didn't know what was in the wetland, the plans of the lizardmen in the wetland, or the main camp of the lizardmen.

They only knew that the lizardmen were here and that they had to kill all the lizardmen.

They were in the dark.

The reason for this was probably the overly hasty march. Just after the cleansing was completed, the white rats hurriedly assembled the ratmen and launched a war.

This was really too hasty.

Another point was the rats' crude military structure.

The construction of the rat army was not perfect, and it could even be said to be very rough. There was not even a special profession for rat scouts.

In the past, this was not a problem, or even a big deal.

Due to the characteristics of ratmen, there will always be many ratmen who start to flee during the battle. Even if there are special supervision teams behind to supervise the battle, once the situation becomes chaotic, there will always be a steady stream of ratmen fleeing the battlefield.

Until the end of the battle, these ratmen will run back from all directions again. At this time, as long as you catch a few ratmen who come back and ask them simply, you will basically know the situation nearby.

So the ratmen have never lacked intelligence in the war.

The opponent is too weak and no rats will run away, so there is no need for intelligence. The opponent is very difficult to deal with, so whether you ask the ratmen who run back after winning, or ask the ratmen who run back after losing.

It is a very convenient thing.

This is a very crude but effective way to obtain intelligence.

But now, it has failed and is not so easy to use.

Faced with this harsh wetland, once the rats escaped from the main force, they would never be able to return.

Swamps, wandering enemies, poisonous insects, and beasts lurking in the wetlands, each of which can easily kill the lone rats who have left the main force.

A single rat has no way to survive in this harsh environment.

This also made it impossible for the rat army to figure out the situation in the swamp, and also made the advancement of the rat army extremely slow.

Even though the casualties of their rats have never been taken seriously by the rat warlords, such a slow progress still made some rat warlords unable to sit still.

On the periphery of the wetland, on a huge flat rock protruding from the mud.

Warlords of all sizes in the rat army gathered here. They were the commanders of this rat army.

But at this time, these rat warlords of all sizes had no right to speak. All their eyes were on the two rats arguing in the center.

It stands to reason that no matter what kind of army it is, the most taboo is the head and tail, but at this time, the rat army is arguing because of this situation.

Good Eyes, the commander-in-chief of the rat warriors, had a dispute with his deputy Shu Zhan.

Both sides held an offensive strategy and confronted each other.

Good Eyes advocated a steady attack, slowly sweeping the wetland and the lizardmen in it.

Shu Zhan, on the other hand, demanded a radical tactic of integrating the rat troops, advancing all the way into the wetland and sweeping the lizardmen from the center.
