Chapter 589: Knowingly It’s a Setup
On a new day, the rat tide surges again.
In the past, the rat army launched offensives. With the huge strength of the rat tide, they often fought for an entire quarter without stopping.
Although the current siege force losses are large, according to the scale of the rat tide, it is undoubtedly unrealistic for Li Ce and others to reduce their strength to the bottom in a few days.
Faced with the rat tide's new offensive, Li Ce, who had just led his troops to attack yesterday, undoubtedly planned to defend the city wall and recuperate today.
After many consecutive days of defensive battles, they had already become proficient in this city defense method. The whole process was smooth.
But today, the Rat Man made a new move.
"The rat men's regular army has moved!"
Thanks to Zhou Xu's talent, Li Ce's eyesight is quite outstanding. Standing on the top of the wall, with this height Take a panoramic view of every move of the Rat Man in the distance.
“Facing this high wall, there is not much difference between the rat men’s regular army and the slave soldiers.”
The person who said this at this time was a lizard man adjutant that Li Ce arranged for himself out of convenience after the battle started.
After all, they are now surrounded by enemies, and Soros is also a capable commander. It would be a waste to follow him to command the same city wall.
On the other hand, if Thoros is allowed to help him direct the battle on the two city walls, the pressure on him will be greatly reduced.
Li Ce did not doubt his adjutant's words. After all, judging from his understanding so far, it was indeed the case.
Focusing on the advancing Rat Man regular army, they did not rush into the battlefield in one breath, but stopped at a certain safe distance after entering the battlefield area.
Immediately, a rat man suddenly jumped out, and then shouted at the wall...
"You bunch of courageous stinky lizards, will you just hide in there? Come out and fight if you have the guts." Pass! ”
Listening to the shouts and curses outside the fortress, Li Ce was expressionless and unmoved at all. He only felt that the rat man who jumped out looked strange.
However, when the lizard soldiers, including his adjutant, saw the rat man, their expressions changed drastically, and some soldiers could not help but curse.
Li Ce frowned when he realized something was wrong.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, his adjutant's expression was simply terrifying.
“That damn ratman is wearing Lord Baal’s skin on his face!”
[The name Baal, if I remember correctly, is the name of the former lizardman chief of the southern camp. The name of the commander. At that time, the lizardman army was defeated, and he also disappeared in the chaos...]
It was said that he was missing at the time, but basically it was not much different from dead.
After Li Ce took office, he tentatively confirmed the situation here.
It’s just that it’s been more than two years since this happened. When he heard the name, it really took Li Ce some time to react.
At the same time, after listening to the adjutant's words, he took a closer look and realized why the rat man looked so weird?
It turns out that the rat man’s face is actually covered with the face of a lizard man!
During this process, the rat man with the face of a lizard man was still shouting, and the lizard people here seemed to be excited.
"Captain, please allow us to fight!"
"Captain, please allow us to fight!"
"Captain!!"
This shout almost formed a chain In response, the lizard soldiers on the wall asked for a fight.
Facing this situation, Li Ce tensed his face, but his mood was extremely bad.
The opponent was clearly motivating them to give up their defense and take the initiative. The meaning was too obvious, but this move completely hit their vitals. He really didn't care about Baal's face, but the lizard people did.
If he forcibly stops him now, the impact on his morale will be minimal, but he is afraid that it will cause a gap between the lizard people and him. This will be the biggest trouble.
This feeling of knowing it is a trap but having to take advantage of it is really terrible.
Unexpectedly, just when Li Ce was about to order an attack, a voice rang before him.
"You idiots, can't you see that this is a trap set by the rat men across the street?!"
As the voice sounded, Thoros, dressed in military uniform, hurried over with a confused look on his face. Extremely ugly.
“But Lord Baal...”
“Baal hopes that we can win the battle and destroy the ratmen! Instead of falling into the trap of the ratmen like you idiots! "
Soros interrupted the other party's words without politeness, and the group of lizard soldiers were speechless.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and get back to your position!!"
Amidst Thoros's scolding, the lizardman soldiers who came to ask for a fight were all ashamed and ran back to their positions. .
During this period, Li Ce, who was standing by the side, said nothing, but felt greatly relieved.
He knew all these words, but he couldn't say them. This time, he could only say that Soros came too timely.
At the same time, on the battlefield, the rat man yelling and cursing in Barr's face was none other than Talon.
Talon was famous for his cruelty and ferocity in his early years. He liked to peel off the enemy's face and make it into a hood to put on his face to fight the enemy. Therefore, he got another cruel nickname, "Skinner".
Of course, not every lizardman is qualified to be skinned by him and collected as a trophy.
The one who can have his face peeled off by sharp claws must at least be a commander.
As the original supreme commander of the Lizardmen's southern defense line, Barr can be said to have the highest status among all his trophies so far.
At this moment, with Baal's face, Talon kept yelling and cursing for a while, but the other side showed no intention of going out to fight. Although Talon was annoyed, there was nothing he could do.
Then with an order, a group of burly figures walked out from the regular army.
They have all the characteristics of rat men, but they are completely different from the ordinary thin rat men. Their body size is visually estimated to be five meters. They stand on two feet, with muscles all over their bodies, and their postures look quite... ferocious.
“What is that?”
While Soros was still there, Li Ce quickly asked the question in his heart.
“They are rat trolls. They are different from ordinary rat people. They are very powerful and physically strong, and their speed is not slow.”
Hearing this, Li Ce's eyebrows were about to knit together.
“Is there no weakness?”
“Weakness. Maybe it’s because the brain is not very good.”
“…”
While speaking In the blink of an eye, the ordinary rat soldiers at the rear had already pushed the barrels to the feet of the rat trolls.
The rat trolls didn't hesitate when they saw this, and directly grabbed the barrel with one hand, then stretched out their arms, exerted force, and threw the barrel towards the wall of their border fortress on the spot!
