Chapter 924 Symptoms
The madness of the Ratman Commander shocked all the Ratmen present.
None of them expected that the battle in front of them would reach this point, and many ratmen didn't even know what to do.
Looking at the large vines in the distance that forcibly changed the battlefield environment, directly occupying the center of the battlefield, squeezing the entire battlefield space.
Those vines are now directly blocking there. If they are not dealt with, it will definitely affect their offensive efficiency.
The Ratman Commander is undoubtedly clear about this.
"Send me an order to have the warlock perform the Blood Explosion Technique. The range is the area covered by those vines!"
This order startled the adjutant next to him on the spot.
"Commander, there are many trolls and regular soldiers in that area! There are even warlocks!"
Forget about those slaves at the bottom, regular soldiers, especially rats Trolls and rat warlocks are also expensive units here. If they are all blown up by blood explosion, how will they explain to the clan leader later? !
However, the Ratman Commander didn't care about this at all.
“Are you questioning my order?!”
The scarlet eyes made his face particularly ferocious. Staring at these eyes, the adjutant suddenly broke out in sweat. , and it also made him clearly realize that if he dared to raise a word of doubt again, he would definitely die!
“I don’t dare!”
Does the Ratman Commander not know what the adjutant can think of?
But in the view of the Ratman Commander, the Rat Trolls, Ratman Warlocks and regular soldiers who had been entangled by those vines were no different from dead.
If because of this situation, they become helpless in their subsequent actions, that would be really fatal.
After the order was issued, the new rat warlocks quickly entered the field under the escort of regular soldiers and performed the Blood Explosion Technique in the designated area.
As the technique unfolded, and stimulated by the Blood Explosion Technique, countless rat soldiers trapped in entangled vines began to explode wildly.
This corrosive black-red blood can burn through even metal armor, and the entangled vines are still plants after all. Once the number and scale increase, how can they still withstand it?
The lush, entangled vines that grew there were burned to death in patches.
In just a blink of an eye, the originally vibrant area was transformed into a dead place under the corrosion of the black-red blood!
At the same time, standing on the wall of the southern fortress, watching such drastic changes, Thoros and Bai Tu quickly realized what the other side had done.
"Is it ruthless enough? Explode as soon as you say it will explode?"
The ruthless and decisive attitude of the Rat Man Commander made Bai Tu feel a little chilly in his heart.
At this point in time, the wood elf mages had been brought back by the pterodactyl riders, which made Bai Tu and Thoros basically certain that Locke and John had no fighting power in a short period of time.
Although due to the limited number of pterosaur riders, there are still some wood elf mages in the wood elf mage group who are in perfect condition.
But Bai Tu and Soros, who had learned about the situation, understood in their hearts.
The focus of the round of mantra spells just now was on Locke, who is an extraordinary mage!
Without Locke and the twenty-nine wood elf mages headed by John, the effect would not be enough on a battlefield of this scale.
Probably feeling the change in Bai Tu's mentality, Soros quickly adjusted his emotions and spoke calmly...
"The strength of the rat men is not unlimited. From yesterday to now, their offensive has been so crazy. They also frequently launch self-destruction methods. Counting this wave, they have probably lost more than half of their troops."
"Not to mention that there are also two to three hundred rat trolls, without the rat giants. The demons, the Ratmen will no longer be able to use the flying barrel attack as before, and the threat to our fortress will be greatly reduced."
"Stay calm, the advantage is still with us."
Bai Tu is not a fool, so he can naturally understand what Soros said.
At the same time, he couldn't help but recall Diack's reminder earlier.
To fight against the rat men, keeping your mentality is really the key!
However, it is not that easy to withstand this kind of psychological pressure and mental suffering in actual experience.
At this time, Bai Tu could only adjust his mentality and calm down his emotions by taking deep breaths. During this period, the Skaven's follow-up offensive did not start immediately.
But this is not a good thing for them.
On the opposite side is the sea of fire burning outside their fortress.
At this stage, the opposite wave of offensive has ended, and the next wave of offensive has not yet been launched.
At this point in time, there is no need for them to launch an attack under the sea of fire. They can wait until the fire is extinguished before launching an offensive. This can effectively reduce the casualties of their rat tide.
From the perspective of Bai Tu and Soros, it is not difficult to see from the Rat Man's decision that the opponent's military strength is indeed not as abundant as before.
If it were the previous ratmen, they wouldn't care about this!
Looking on the bright side, this at least gave them some time to breathe.
During this period, a person in charge from the medical class also came and reported the latest situation to them.
“Considering the possibility of an infectious disease, we have now isolated all the patients.”
They have had flu in the past. of infectious diseases, so they all have certain experience in this area and are not unfamiliar with the operation.
"We have checked the conditions of those soldiers, and the symptoms are very similar. In addition to fever and coma, they all also have festering wounds."
"At this stage, we suspect that those soldiers were infected by rats. It was caused by the fact that human corrosive blood was splashed, but no proper treatment was carried out in time."
This situation was somewhat incomprehensible to Bai Tu.
“Why was it not dealt with in time?”
Faced with this problem, the other party said bluntly...
"Because there are not enough manpower, there are too many injured soldiers. We give priority to rescuing the seriously injured. Judging from their situation, they are all lightly injured who have treated their wounds themselves."
Hearing this Bai Tu's face turned ugly for a while.
This is not unusual in the military. As the other party said, medical personnel are limited. After a battle, so many wounded soldiers cannot be dealt with in a short time.
For this reason, while their troops conduct combat training on weekdays, they also conduct some self-rescue training.
So that soldiers can treat some injuries by themselves when medical manpower is in short supply.
Generally, for minor injuries, if conditions permit, squeeze out the blood in the wound, then rinse it with boiling water, and finally apply wound medicine and bandage it, and then the treatment is complete.
However, those who were attacked in this wave were all soldiers who treated their own wounds.
“Is there a problem with the treatment method?”
“We have also studied and discussed this issue. The problem should be with the cleaning and disinfection of the wound.”
< br>Without any fuss, the other party directly gave the results of their internal discussions.
"They were also wounded soldiers who were spattered by corrosive blood. Among the soldiers we rescued at that time, many were more seriously corroded, but they did not show similar symptoms."
"Between the two, The only difference is that they used alcohol for disinfection. "
Refining alcohol requires a large amount of food, so at this stage, alcohol is still a very important medical material in their empire, and the quantity is relatively limited. .
Under normal circumstances, if it is just a scratch or a small cut, alcohol will not be used to treat it.
And this is probably the root cause of the situation at hand!
"At this stage, we have disinfected their wounds with alcohol and taken antipyretic drugs. Whether the specific symptoms can be controlled and improved requires follow-up observation before we can draw a conclusion."
