Chapter 533: Capture the thief and capture the king first
The Bug Commander finally reacted.
More cockroaches, lizards, spiders, centipedes, and toads poured in like a tidal wave from the mist.
The real war began.
The elites of both sides poured out of the nest,-for-tat, and fought to the death.
The Rat army wants to cover the rescue team to quickly find a safe rock crevice, leave the battlefield as far away as possible, and then slowly find a way to find the main force of the national division.
However, the Insect Tide Commander wanted to break the blockade of the Rat army as soon as possible, and intercept and strangle the rescue team in time to be in infancy.
For a time, the stump and broken arm flew wildly, blood and mucus danced wildly, the "squeak" sound of mice and the "croak" sound of the toad converged into a terrifying sonata, and a small mountain bag composed of corpses was piled up under the luminous city.
With their sharp "spears" and "knives", as well as sturdy "shields" and "armor", the rats still have the advantage on the field.
But it seems that the endless tide of insects is constantly consuming their energy and the durability of their weapons and armor.
It was the hardest battle the rats had ever faced. Almost every Rat heavy infantry had at least three centipedes and five cockroaches hanging from them, and their tails were bitten by several lizards.
The tail is the only weakness of the Rat heavy infantry, because the forging technology is too backward, they can't create enough armor to make the tail run freely, and they can only barely put iron rings on the tail, and inlay tacks on the iron rings, using this method to increase the lethality of wielding the tail.
Ten minutes after the start of the bloody battle, not counting cannon fodder, the rat elite suffered casualties one after another.
Either the insect tide has come and gone, and finally used the corrosive venom to burn through the shocking holes of the layers of armor they wear, so that the long blade-like tongue can pierce the flesh and blood of the rat clan.
Either the huge toad swarmed up and crushed or suffocated the rat warrior with his helmet and armor.
Either the venom turns into a poisonous gas that envelops the heads of the rats, suffocating them to death.
There were even some rats who fell to the ground one by one, unable to get up again, and died of exhaustion.
What's worse is that as the war is scorching, the original strict formation of the rat clan is gradually completely dispersed by the insect tide, and the warriors of each family are divided into small squares, each of which has its own affairs, and the spearmen in front and the firecrackers in the rear have also lost their cooperation, and there has been an accident in which the firecrackers accidentally scattered a large amount of gunpowder on the spearmen or heavy infantry in front and ignited them, making the rats become live candles that run all the way and burn all the way.
In this case, the scales of victory still crunch, and it is not yet known where it will eventually tilt.
"Long tongue! Long tongue! ”
In the midst of the insect tide, the cat eaters, covered in blood and covered in shiny slime, shouted loudly.
"I'm here!"
Chu Ge deftly flashed the attack of a toad's long tongue, as if he was in a hurry, and his tail was waving wildly, but he was impartial, and pierced a tack with his tail rolled deep into the toad's tongue, the toad was in pain, and the long tongue suddenly rolled back, but unexpectedly, the tack was rolled into the mouth together, and it was injured twice, and it screamed in pain, but there was no way to pull out the tack, so it could only dance away.
Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the surrounding cat-eaters, there were only twenty or thirty family warriors left, and the rest of the elite of the cat-eater families were scattered by the insect tide, or their armor and shields were torn apart, and they were reduced to sacrifices in the sea of corpses and blood.
Chu Ge never imagined that living in the twenty-second century, with advanced science and technology, and a thriving civilization, he would participate in such a tragic cold weapon war in such a strange form, and the strangulation of the rat clan and the insect tide was comparable to the most brutal decisive battle in human history, and the degree of disgusting was not much worse.
Several times, Chu Ge wanted to sneak around to find a corner, cast the secret method of the divine soul, extract the soul from this damn body, and "break the line and escape".
But on the one hand, he hadn't had time to talk to Bai Ye, nor had he been able to meet the mysterious national teacher and learn more about the truth of the Long Fang Kingdom, so he was reluctant to return empty-handed.
More importantly, Chu Ge saw the true spirit of a civilization in the sacrifice of life and death among the rat tribes.
Matter determines consciousness, I don't know if his soul has been in the body of the mouse for a long time, he less and less feels how ugly the appearance of the mouse is, but has a kind of "intelligent life is originally like this" The idea that "intelligent life is originally like this", seeing the rat being torn apart and devoured by the insect tide, he will also produce instinctive sympathy and anger.
In particular, the cat eater was very righteous, saved him many times on the battlefield in a row, and even ordered the clansmen to firmly protect Chu Ge in the middle and try not to let him contact the front-line battle, which made Chu Ge very moved.
Even rats know how to talk about righteousness, there is no reason why human beings are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they don't repay their kindness, right?
Counting the time in the fierce rat tribe the day before yesterday, in just three days, the cat eater had already saved him several times, and he had to at least accompany the cat eater to finish this battle, and then break the line and escape, so that he could be considered a good man.
"You can't fight like this!"
Chu Ge pulled his throat and yelled at the cat eater, "The number of enemies is too much, we are not opponents at all, look around, we have been completely dispersed by the enemy, and we will soon be eaten one bite at a time."
"Retreat, Lord Cat Eater, the Immortal General's order is to cover the breakthrough of the rescue team, and now, the rescue team has been drilling along the rock crevice for a long time, they must have successfully passed through the rock crevice, escaped from the insect tide, and went to find the main force of the national division, right?
"Then, there is no need to continue such senseless sacrifices, retreat to the city that never sleeps, rely on the familiar terrain and the enemy, and wait for the national division to lead the main force back to help, it is the royal way!"
"I know!"
The cat eater brandished a scalpel with broken hair like a green dragon glaive knife, and even stirred up a knife light dozens of centimeters long, cutting a lizard in half from head to tail with a knife, and by the way, he also cut off the back of a centipede, he shook off the mucus on the knife, and said with a very ugly face, "I also want to retreat, but there are rules for retreat, and now our troops are entangled by the enemy, and if you run away rashly, it is easy to become a total rout."
"The troops must be reorganized, and another wave of charges must be made, forcing the enemy back at least three or five meters, so that they can cover each other and retreat alternately, otherwise, it will not retreat but collapse, and it will be a one-sided massacre.
"Long tongue, you are light and have sharp eyes, help me see where the battle flag of the immortal general is?"
The cat eater said, carrying Chu Ge's tail and directly throwing him high into the air.
Chu Ge took the opportunity to look down on the entire battlefield, and sure enough, he found the battle flag of the immortal general, Bai Ye, hunting on their left side.
"On the left!"
Chu Ge landed on the ground and shouted, "The immortal general led his personal guards to kill in from the left flank, but they didn't seem to be able to find a good target, so they could only kill at the cannon fodder - with all due respect, this is meaningless at all, but will lose the elite spirit!" ”
"That's right, you have to find the commander of the insect tide."
The cat eater said with a gloomy face, "It's really strange, these cockroaches, centipedes, horses, lizards, including toads, are obviously the lowest underground creatures, completely controlled by survival instincts, and if they encounter a slight setback, they should collapse at the touch of a button, how can they fight to the death and fight with us to this extent?" ”
This is indeed an odd thing.
Although wild beasts are often thought to be fierce and fierce, the truly fierce beasts are almost non-existent in nature.
Except for a very small number of female beasts whose personalities become extremely ferocious after pregnancy, the vast majority of wild beasts are standard "bullying the soft and fearing the hard", "seeing the wind and making the rudder", even if the lion and tiger are large beasts, they will not have the thoughts and actions of "seeing death as home".
Inferior creatures such as cockroaches and lizards are even less likely to have the idea of dying with their enemies.
If it is said that the rat people rely on fanatical beliefs and determination to defend their homeland, they can fight hard to this moment.
Why, then, did these inferior creatures, who had no mind, will, or faith at all, fight, and how could they fight so fiercely?
"Master Cat Eater, are you saying that there must be some kind of 'mastermind' behind the insect tide that is good at repelling insects?"
Chu Ge suddenly realized, "It's a key existence like a queen bee and queen ant in a bee colony and ant colony?" ”
