Chapter 87, Charge! Charge!
I just don't know if the same mistake will be made again this time.
Although the city has not been fully built, the wild boar army that came to garrison has arrived.
But to some extent, Sheng Qi did not lie to the rat priests.
Because with the arrival of the wild boar army, the huge slaves of various races they captured during the advance were used as labor and food and escorted to the location of the city under construction.
Not only that, a large amount of supplies were also continuously transported from the rear of the wild boar to the city.
With such strong support.
If there are no twists and turns, a huge and solid fortress city will soon rise from the ground.
If there are no twists and turns.
………….
Even though this narrow tunnel greatly slowed down the marching speed of the rat army, Sheng Qi, as the commander, did not rely on his men, the rat army that had expanded by nearly 40 times, to run wantonly in the forest.
He even commanded the rat army to choose a route that bypassed most of the wild boar outposts, camps, and small forest cities.
To some extent, he felt that he was very cautious, or cherished his life.
And this time he learned his lesson and threw the unreliable slave-hunting team to the front of the team without hesitation. Tonight, the slave rats of the slave-hunting team will be the vanguard.
When the rat army arrived at the destination and began to gush out of the narrow cave, the sky was already a little brighter.
Of course, it also set off the gushing rat army. It was even more terrifying.
There is not only one rat nest near this wild boar city under construction. This is an important area chosen by the wild boar gods.
It is also favored by the rat priests. A large number of underground tunnels are connected near this area.
The densely packed cave entrances are also hidden in every secret corner on the ground.
When there are no rats running in them, these cave entrances will not be taken too seriously even if they are discovered. After all, many of the many races in the forest have the habit of digging caves.
Only when you go deep into these dark caves and start exploring, the huge tunnel network that spreads all over the ground will really appear.
As a standard surface race, the wild boars obviously have little interest in exploring dark caves. Most of the treatment methods are to fill and compact them with soil, although such actions do have an effect.
At least at this time, no rats swarmed out from the foundation of the city that turned into a huge construction site.
But those cave entrances that were not blocked, the rats turned into a dark wave, like springs gushing out from the ground.
The rats, they are pouring out!
In an instant, the wild boar soldiers on the outposts around the construction site began to shout and sound the alarm.
The huge metal bell was rang by the night watch soldiers who reacted.
In the city where the construction progress was more than half completed, many wild boars moved, but the captured slaves of various races reacted earlier than the wild boar soldiers.
These slaves, who were originally regarded as short-term consumables, started the riot without hesitation.
In an instant, there was chaos.
Many wild boar soldiers gathered in a hurry. Before they had time to meet the attacking enemy, they began to suppress the rioting slaves.
However, they still had a certain amount of reaction time under the timely warning of the wild boars on the outposts.
But the outposts that gave the warning were not so lucky. The swarm of rats almost instantly overwhelmed the scattered outposts.
Even though these wild boar soldiers were wearing tough leather armor, they could not resist the attack of the rats and disappeared in the rats with screams.
In the terrifying overlapping and fragmented sounds, the horror of the rat army was first displayed in front of the wild boar.
Several wild boars wearing light armor ignored the riot of slaves in the city, rode huge black-haired wild boars out of the city and disappeared into the forest.
And the rats appeared from the cave with the commander and completed the assembly.
Sheng Qi was as excited as ever, especially when looking at the huge army wandering in front of him.
Waving the wooden staff in his hand, the young priest did not give too many instructions to the army in front of him, but just shouted simply and excitedly.
"For the gods!"
Noisy shouts rang out.
The wild boars were waiting on the city wall.
The rats began to charge!
At dawn!
The vanguard was the huge rat slave-catching team. Compared with the regular rat army, their biggest feature was the various ropes and nets prepared for slave-catching.
In the whistling charge, the various lassoes and nets that were so dense that they covered the sky became the first wave of the rats' offensive.
Nets kept falling and hitting the wild boar warriors. The thick rope-woven nets were difficult to cut even with metal swords.
In this battle, no slave rats from the slave-catching team dared to cheat.
Because behind them, with the start of the battle, the rat warriors who were already accustomed to charging would not give them the opportunity to cheat.
These guys were used to stabbing fleeing people to death with their spears, especially at the beginning of the charge.
In addition, the berserk spells kept falling.
Even though the priests left behind were all young unlucky guys, after the number of people increased, even most of them were young priests who only knew berserk spells, the coverage area was expanded.
Scarlet auras flickered continuously on the battlefield.
These slave-catching teams could only charge at the wild boars in front of them with all their strength.
After throwing out the nets and lassos in their hands, the slave rats of the slave-catching team jumped onto the uneven city walls with piercing screams.
They collided with the wild boar warriors who were hastily organizing the defense line.
The wild boar warriors who were caught in the nets and lassoes were dragged to the ground on the spot, and then a large number of slave rats holding spears rushed forward, and there was no sound in an instant.
If a difficult guy appeared, then this group of slave rats would scatter.
Unlike the rat warriors brought by the Rat War, the slave rats of these slave-catching teams are better at hunting and more cherish their lives.
When the riot caused by slaves in the city was quickly quelled, with the support of the wild boar warriors who continued to appear from the city to join the front, this group of slave rats, who were not good at attacking, fell into a stalemate.
But the rat warriors didn't care about this.
Push forward without hesitation!
The wild boars encountered the same trouble as the lizardmen troops in the old Qi city.
As more and more slave rats were pushed onto the city wall, the space on the city wall became more and more crowded with the influx of more and more slave rats.
