Chapter 143: The Sandpiper and the Clam Fight, and the Green Skin Gains
The stone's boasting was not realized in the end, although the hunt continued, but when the ghost white wolf disappeared, he was only promoted by one level, just reaching LV13.
The next level requires too many "experience points", a full 40,000 points, which is equal to four thousand clan rats or eight thousand slave rats, even if the rat people line up to cut it, it will take a lot of time, he doesn't have that effort, and the rest of the rat cubs will be useful in the future.
All that is left to do now is to take advantage of the defeat of the rat people, arrest them all, and put them under centralized supervision.
The boys didn't have a second to rest, and everyone, whether orcs, goblins, or farts elves, including Squigg Jumpers and Despicable Lurkers, all went out to pull out the scattered nezumi and rush to the central plaza to assemble.
This is not a simple matter, especially the tribe is short of manpower, there are less than three thousand people in total, and a small half of them are fart spirit, so although they have not encountered any resistance, but the progress is very slow, seeing that the stone frowns, he doesn't have much time to stay here, and the large army of rat people may come back at any time.
Fortunately, the stone also told the Mogru of the "Iron Rock" before they agreed, if the battle above was near the end or the nezumi began to retreat, they would immediately put up a circle to let the stone know.
the hair! Fortunately, this signal has not yet appeared, and it seems that the battle situation above is still very stale, but in any case, there is not much time left for me.
Fortunately, although there are still many rat people in the nest, it seems that all those who have some combat power have already died in the square, and the rest are dizzy with hunger, weak limbs, and can only raise their hands to surrender in the face of the vicious green-skinned boy.
When a powerful enemy comes, the followers of these bighorned rats bring out their cowardly, selfish nature to the fullest.
The majestic Rat God Temple has been reduced to ruins, the most powerful pro-guard commander Klosinti was shot in the head, and even the well-trained Storm Rats have been wiped out, the fighting spirit of these rat people has been completely crushed, even if there are many of them, they cannot form any organized resistance, and even many captives have taken the initiative to throw themselves into the arms of the second brother after discovering the existence of Gosco, and help the green-skinned boss maintain order, just hoping to exchange the corpses of his companions and fill their empty stomachs.
The appearance of these rat rapists brought inspiration to the stone, want to eat? Yes, go door to door and bring out all the other rat cubs, tell them that as long as they join the imperial army, they will have something to eat, and for every hundred rat men who bring back with their hands tied, the leading party will get a corpse.
As soon as the selfish rat people heard this, they immediately signed up, and the stones were not afraid of their deception, and they were all released on the spot.
The effect of this move was immediate, and within a few hours, dozens of nezumi completed the task, bringing back thousands of their own kind with expectant faces, and the stones also talked about it, allowing them to get the corpses of their kind and feast on them.
Immediately after that, the inspired orc lord asked Golsco to take a group of ratmen to the surrounding caves to publicize, as long as they surrendered, they would have something to eat, otherwise they would all be killed, and the slave rats living in it immediately came out and surrendered without hesitation as soon as they heard the news.
These slaves were the worst, many of them were so hungry that they could not even walk, so they had to crawl all the way to the square like the walking dead, and let the rat traitors tie them up, and they were very cooperative, and for them, as long as they had something to eat, they could do anything.
In this way, almost effortlessly, the stone simply cleaned up the entire nest as quickly as possible, and when he saw that there were more than 20,000 rat people in the square, he knew that the nest was almost emptied, of course, there must be some rat people still hidden in the dark, but it was no longer a climate, and he didn't have time or energy to care about it now, and he would wait until later to take care of it slowly.
The corpses of the dead rat people were quickly distributed, but each rat could only get a few bites, which was also deliberate by the stone, not to mention that there is not so much "food" now, even if he has it, he will not let these rat cubs be fed, now hunger is his best helper, only hungry rats are not threatened, because the only ones who guard them next are the big bear and four hundred goblin spearmen.
And the stone himself has to lead the rest of the people to the next goal, which is also the last step of his entire plan, Steel Rock!
That's right, this is his real ultimate goal, from the very beginning of the discovery of the relationship between this legendary fortress and the "Clan of X", he moved his ghostly thoughts, and finally racked his brains to finally come up with this plan for this praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches to drive the tiger to kill people with knives.
First of all, he lured the human shrimp and the green skin of the north to fight, and then instigated the "Red Fang Tribe" to participate in the war, taking advantage of the fact that the rat people could not hold it back and sneak up to attack the "steel rock", and the stone led people to take the old nest of the rat cubs first, and finally waited for them to fight with the clam to have a green skin profit.
…………
Dawn breaks, the first rays of the morning sun shine across the land, a new day has arrived, and for the creatures in the "Steel Rock", today is no different from the previous two days.
Shouts and screams were everywhere, and there was killing, destruction, and a large number of greenskins and rat corpses, and as for the living, all that had to be done was to continue to take up arms and fight the enemy on the other side.
For Greenskins, this is their home, and naturally they don't give an inch, and for the nezumi, they also go against the grain, fighting a war of attrition, not only for food, but also because the town has a very special meaning for them.
In a certain corner of the battlefield, surrounded by the last few groups of Storm Rat Guards, the leader of these nezumi, the patriarch of the "Nexus Clan", Phoenix, frowned, obviously he was not in a good mood at this time.
His appearance is very old, and his black fur indicates that he was once a strong storm rat, but now his gray beard and eyebrows, leaky teeth, and rickety body all reveal that the patriarch has reached the age of the wind and candle.
Yes, Phoenix has lived for more than forty years, except for those powerful beings who have mastered magic, forty years old is an extremely rare age among nezumi, and if it weren't for the occasional consumption of some dimensional stone fragments, he would have turned into a pile of white bones.
It is precisely because he has lived long enough that he knows the preciousness of life, and when the opportunity suddenly comes, he will change his previous caution and lead almost all the forces of the clan to attack this green-skinned fortress, in order to gain a longer life.
But the current situation is not as optimistic as he imagined, the battle has been going on for two whole days and two nights, thousands of nezumi swarmed out, but the greenskin did not collapse at the touch, although they were caught off guard at first, even the city gate was lost, but soon organized other defense lines in the city, using various buildings in the town to fight with the nezumi in the street.
This kind of combat is obviously not what the nezumi are good at, but Phoenix has already been difficult to ride a tiger, and since his existence has been exposed, he must completely occupy this fortress, otherwise even if he grabs food and retreats underground, he will have to face the invasion of the greenskinned army in the future, so even if the losses are heavy, all the remaining greenskins in the city must be wiped out.
"Krees, Scott, and Lori, take your guards and kill all the greenskins in the city before night falls!"
