These thousands of steel-toothed rats sound like a lot, but because of the super reproductive ability of these guys, as long as a few steel-toothed rats escape in a single sweep, they will be able to breed a rat colony of this size again in less than a month.

The steel-toothed rat is a fierce beast, because of its small size, and is very good at digging burrows, so it is difficult to completely eradicate it, often after several times back and forth to clear it, and when the army withdraws, there may be dozens of fish that have slipped through the net.

So for this patrol found the nest of the steel-toothed rat, Mo Jiale and they were not surprised at all, after getting the two teammates who were scouts to remind them, they immediately ordered their soldiers to check their respective equipment again, after all, the next battle will start soon, if there is a problem with weapons and armor at this time, it will kill people!

After Ma Qiancheng got the order, he immediately carefully checked the armor and weapons on his body, after all, there are so many steel-toothed rats, once the fight starts, maybe a few will rush through the defense line, and then he himself will have to have the power to protect himself.

Because the strength is the weakest in the team, Ma Qiancheng is naturally wearing the lightest plate armor, the thickness of the armor is only about five millimeters, but even this kind of light plate armor, Ma Qiancheng also feels a little difficult to wear, unlike other team members, one by one wearing steel plate armor with a thickness of at least ten millimeters, and can still jump around, especially those who are scouts, before and after running, the physical strength consumed is much greater than that of Ma Qiancheng, who has been marching slowly with the large army.

As a result, those guys were only slightly sweating on their foreheads now, but Ma Qiancheng was already exhausted and out of breath, and at this time, he took the opportunity to check his equipment, and also took the opportunity to sit on a tree stump by the side of the road and rest for a while.

In addition to the light plate armor on his body, Ma Qiancheng's weapons were only a Demon Slayer Type 1 flintlock rifle with a bayonet and a straight-edged steel knife almost a meter long, after all, his physical strength was not as good as that of other team members, and if he brought too many weapons, he might exhaust himself halfway.

For the so-called Demon Slaying Type 1 flintlock rifle of the Blue Dragon Empire, Ma Qiancheng was very disgusted, after all, this kind of thing like a burning stick was too troublesome to load, I am afraid that even if a soldier who has mastered all the reloading procedures, it usually takes more than ten seconds to complete a reload.

For a novice like Ma Qiancheng, it would probably take about a minute to complete a reload, so considering the impressive rate of fire of this, he only carried thirty rounds of fixed ammunition.

As for the rest of the team and the skeleton musketeers, each of them carried a hundred rounds of ammunition, including fifty rounds of lead bullets and fifty rounds of scattered bullets, and the zombie warriors all carried a hundred rounds of these two types of ammunition as a supplement.

Under the reminder of the squad leader Mo Jiale, Ma Qiancheng filled his rifle with scattered bullets, this kind of scattered bullets is actually a large number of small steel balls, the caliber of the Demon Slayer 1 rifle has reached a terrifying eighteen millimeters, and it is about to catch up with some small-caliber artillery, so it can hit more than a dozen steel balls at a time, although the range and power of such steel balls are not as good as the steel core lead bullets, but they are better than the strike range is large enough, and most of the strength of those steel-toothed rats is also very weak, even if it is a weak scattered bullet, it is enough to hit it hard or even kill.

After everyone had checked the weapons and equipment, Mo Jiale began to lead a group of subordinates and lightly approached the steel-toothed rat's nest.

Luckily, they're in the downwind, so as long as they're careful enough to make a big fuss, the steel-toothed rats won't be scared away in advance.

In the process of advancing, the experienced Mo Jiale quickly completed the grouping of his troops, each human soldier was responsible for carrying a bone spur wild dog war beast and twenty undead warriors, and then arranged in different directions, silently surrounded the group of steel-toothed rats.

Although he was only dealing with a group of weak steel-toothed rat beasts, Ma Qiancheng, who participated in this kind of actual combat for the first time, was still very nervous, and at the same time had a trace of excitement, after all, before he was sent by his mother, he had already left a spiritual imprint on the Holy Tree King, and even if he died in battle, he could be resurrected again.

Therefore, in Ma Qiancheng's view, the current situation is like a game with a high degree of realism, but it can't adjust the level of pain, once injured, it will still hurt a lot, if you have that kind of fatal injury, that kind of pain can make people collapse, anyway, Ma Qiancheng doesn't want to experience it a second time.

So in order not to repeat the mistakes of the last time, Ma Qiancheng walked in the back with ten skeleton musketeers who were responsible for remote output, and he was ready to slip away at any time, which can be said to be a batch of reluctance!

Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way, and Ma Qiancheng took the twenty undead warriors to which he belonged and successfully arrived at the position designated by the team leader Mo Jiale.

And after Mo Jiale saw that everyone had arrived at the position, he violently blew a bone whistle that he hung around his neck.

After hearing the huge whistle, everyone led their undead warriors and forced them towards those steel-toothed rats.

And when those steel-toothed rats heard the sudden bone whistle, they immediately realized that something was wrong and rushed towards the entrance of the nest.

In order to cover the evacuation of those rat cubs that have not yet reached adulthood, dozens of steel-toothed rats that are relatively strong and have reached about three times the day after tomorrow take the initiative to stay behind.

These steel-toothed rats who were left behind soon collided with the team of undead warriors led by the squad leader Mo Jiale.

In just one volley from the skeleton musketeers, more than a dozen of the steel-toothed rats were killed, and many were hit in the body by the steel balls, suffering injuries ranging from severity.

Then the javelins thrown by the zombie warriors nailed several steel-toothed rats to the ground on the spot.

In the face of these invincible and powerful enemies, these steel-toothed rats no longer had the courage to confront them, and quickly scattered.

However, at this time, as the various teams continue to encircle, those steel-toothed rats have long had no chance to escape, and they will be blocked wherever they run.

After a few more rounds of gunfire, the steel-toothed rats that had scattered in all directions were completely annihilated, and now all that was left were the steel-toothed rats that had fled into the underground nest.

After Mo Jiale led his undead warriors to block the entrance of the cave, while preparing to light poisonous weeds to create poisonous smoke to force those steel-toothed rats out, he asked other team members to search for other holes everywhere, so as not to escape from other holes.

Soon, with the help of his own skull-spurred wild dog war beast, Ma Qiancheng found a hole hidden in the bushes.

In addition to this hole, two other holes were soon found, which were relatively few compared to other rat colonies, probably because this was a new rat colony, so they hadn't had time to open too many holes.

After making sure that all the holes were found, Mok Kalok stuffed a handful of lit poisonous weeds into the largest hole, and then plugged it completely, ensuring that the poisonous smoke would only pour into the cave and not drift out.

And as these poisonous smoke poured into the hole, the steel-toothed rats hiding inside immediately became agitated, in order to avoid being poisoned by the poisonous smoke, although these steel-toothed rats knew that there must be enemies in ambush at the other holes, they could only rush there.

Ma Qiancheng and the other two team members, gathered sixty undead warriors, and ambushed them at the mouth of one of the caves, unlike the other team members who were at the forefront of the team, Ma Qiancheng was hiding in the rear, mixed in with a group of skeleton musketeers.

"It's coming!" With the shouting of one of the team members, several black-haired steel-toothed rats rushed out of the black hole at once.

The two team members were armed with flintlock rifles, a few meters away from the steel-toothed rats, and almost fired a large piece of steel balls out of their faces, and the steel-toothed rats had no room to dodge before they were hit and burst into a bunch of blood sprays, screaming and flying back.

However, in the next second, more steel-toothed rats gushed out of the hole like the spring water of a fountain, and fortunately, the thirty skeleton musketeers in the team had already been divided into three teams, and at this time, they fired dense pieces of scattered bullets in orderly batches according to the three-stage shooting, and those steel-toothed rats gushing out of the hole were often killed as soon as they appeared.

The lucky few who are not killed will also be stabbed to death with a javelin or a short spear by the zombie warrior at the front.

After Ma Qiancheng hid behind and fired a few shots, he found that the battle was indeed very easy, and it seemed that he himself was a little too careful.

"Good guy, I'm afraid the number of this group of steel-toothed rats is almost two thousand, which is a lot more than expected!"

Looking at the steel-toothed rats that kept pouring out, a team member sighed after a rifle with a bayonet on it killed a steel-toothed rat injured by a steel ball.

However, although the number of steel-toothed rats was a little higher than expected, it did not affect the outcome of the battle, and after a few minutes, the steel-toothed rats were no longer seen in the hole.

It seems that either all the steel-toothed rats have rushed out, or the remaining ones have also been poisoned by the poisonous smoke, after all, the steel-toothed rat is a very weak beast, and it can't last long in the face of that kind of poisonous smoke.

After reopening the largest hole, Mo Jiale and the others waited for a while, and when the poisonous smoke was almost gone, they sent a few bone spur wild dog war beasts into the rat cave to check.

These skeletal wild dogs are also specially selected for their juvenile kind, and they are small enough to easily burrow into rat holes.

After waiting for a few minutes, the skeletal spur wild dogs emerged from different holes again, and when they came out, most of them were holding several steel-toothed rat corpses in their mouths, and most of these steel-toothed rats looked like they were young rats that had not been born for a long time, and it was estimated that they were poisoned by poisonous smoke because their physique was too poor to rush to the entrance of the cave.

Finally, after counting, the number of these steel-toothed rats is actually 1,820, and don't look at the weakness of this steel-toothed rat, but it also has recycling value, not to mention the others, the teeth of these steel-toothed rats are the best raw materials used to extract the alloy of the beast.

Therefore, Mo Jiale and the others waited until a transport team from the logistics department sent from the rear came to take over the corpses of these steel-toothed rats before setting off again to start patrolling.
