Chapter 224, Shu Zhan’s decision
Zhu Zhan is indeed a qualified commander. He was not defeated by such a terrifying scene and thought about a way out.
Most of the Eastern Expeditionary Force was destroyed in the Falling Star attack. The dead Ratmen did not even leave their bodies behind, and turned into blackened ashes. They disappeared with the surging waves in the young strait. The agitation dyed the sea a murky black color.
No matter how hesitant and confused, they have to be put down. The fleeing rat people are gathered bit by bit. Even if most of them are wiped out at once, the remaining rat people army is still huge.
While thinking about it, the option of turning back was the first one abandoned by Rat Zhan. Even he was inevitably afraid of such a terrifying scene.
All the core strength he had in the Eastern Expeditionary Force was lost. Now he can never go back, and the White Rat will not let him go back.
Soon, an order arrived, confirming Shu Zhan’s judgment.
The White Rat learned everything that happened here, but did not say anything.
He is still asking the rat war to move forward.
But even if we want to move forward, we still face many problems.
The mainland corridor has been interrupted.
One after another, the rat people are returning. Such horrific scenes have not completely destroyed their morale. In other words, their morale has never been high. They are buried in the turbid and rolling sea water. There are more than a million Ratmen, and the Rat War really suffered an unthinkable disaster.
Sheng Qi was not targeted, perhaps because the bathtub battleship group formed by this guy was too childish and did not look threatening.
Mouse Zhan climbed up to the high platform and stared at the surging strait in front of him. His expression gradually became terrifying. Mouse Zhan has not yet figured out where such an attack comes from, but Mouse Zhan feels that this is It won't be the end, there is no other basis, just intuition.
A large number of rat people are still being supplied to Rat Zhan in a steady stream. The Eastern Expeditionary Force, which has suffered serious losses, is replenishing its troops at an extremely fast speed. However, the more this happens, the more uneasy Rat Zhan becomes.
Rat Zhan's intuition was very keen. In such uneasiness, one day after the attack, at that moment when the turbulent waves stopped.
Rat Zhan made a judgment.
Countless rat warriors and young rat men were pushed down the strait by Rat War. Due to the absence of the supervising team, this order could not even be executed smoothly in the Eastern Expeditionary Force.
Those loyal guys gathered around Shu Zhan and were all destroyed by the terrifying flying stars.
Rat Zhan personally supervised the progress of this matter. Waving the flag, he roared and sent groups of rat men into the sea.
Rather than defending, he chose to take the initiative to attack, in that uneasiness.
Countless rat warriors were floating in the sea, swimming towards the other shore in a hurry.
The rat people are not complete landlubbers. Swimming is not a difficult thing for them. Although it is definitely the first time for the rat people in the Eastern Expeditionary Force to come into contact with such a wide and salty river, Simply put, although the crater created by the meteor cut off the land bridge connecting the two continents, it did not really create a hopelessly wide strait.
Countless rat men who fell into the water, these rat warriors with only simple weapons almost filled this young strait and began to land on the opposite continent.
It's almost done. Rat Zhan estimated the rat people who were driven down the strait. After feeling that it was almost done, he jumped up without hesitation.
He plunged violently into the murky sea water.
This was a huge landing. It happened shortly after the horrific attack. Rat War was indeed more courageous and radical than ordinary rat people.
He noticed a possibility. From the perspective of a commander and general, if the enemy stationed an army on the opposite side, he would be completely stopped here. No matter how many rat people and people the white rat had brought, The supplies were delivered to him, but he couldn't rush to the other side.
The growing number of troops and resources may lead to a second attack.
Such a terrifying power was directly identified by Rat War as an attack by a heretic god. However, this arrogant guy obviously did not respect the gods enough. After being rescued by the banner blessed by Du Yuan, he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't pray to the gods, nor did he lose control of himself in panic. Instead, he thought about how to deal with such a situation.
He was as impious as his elder spear rat, and more daring, thinking about how to deal with gods, even those heretical gods.
The war must continue. If he retreats and shows cowardice at this time, the ending for him will not be good. Now is his weakest time, and it is not like the second divine war has just ended. Like him, he is still the God-given one, but there is no shortage of generals in the Ratman Kingdom who can command the army.
The war can only continue, and for this we must take a gamble.
Landing on the other side of the strait, the Black Dragon flag was raised high, and he climbed up a boulder. His wet appearance could not undermine the majesty of the rat war. Each of them had just swam across the strait in embarrassment. The unbearable young rat men and rat warriors all looked at Rat Zhan with reverence.
The Rat War is already a legend, an out-and-out legend in the Rat Kingdom.
The loud shout was widely responded to, with sharp and excited neighing in response. Rat Zhan raised the scarlet spear in his hand, and countless wet rat warriors also raised their spears.
“For the gods!”
“For the gods! For the gods!”
“War, honor, everything!”
"The Great Commander of the Rat War! The Great Commander of the Rat War!"
Facts have proved that commanding a huge army will not be a troublesome thing for the Rat War even without the suppression of the Supervisory Team.
The Rat War once again made promises, blood mushrooms, weapons, land, the qualification to join the Rat Runners, and the final prize that is always the finale and always so useful, the Rat Warlord's Rewards, these were all thrown away by him.
Although at this time, most of the promises on this list are actually somewhat illusory. The last huge battle has almost bankrupted the Rat War, and it has not yet been completely eliminated. Come on, as for the weapons and land, the weapons have to wait for subsequent transportation, and the land has no shadow yet.
The Skaven Runners are even more empty talk. Rat Zhan himself has no blood mushrooms. Where can he find the resources to form new Skaven Runners? The most practical thing among these things is that the only thing left is that A reward from the Skaven Warlord.
But this does not prevent Rat War from throwing these out without any burden.
With a simple maneuver, the swarming group of rat men gathered under the command of the black dragon flag and began to charge along the remaining half of the continental corridor of this small world.
Rat War has increased the bounty on the enemy tenfold.
In exchange for the excitement of these rat warriors, of course, rat war cannot fulfill such a promise, but it does not matter, he believes that someone will help him fill this vacancy.
Such a reckless advance almost leaves all your options in the hands of the guy behind you. At this time, it is absolutely extremely easy to target and deal with the rat war.
As long as the support is cut off, Shu Zhan will be easily forced to a dead end. Shu Zhan can think of this, and there must be others in the Shu Man Kingdom who can think of it.
It’s just that Rat Zhan still chose this most radical plan. He really didn’t believe those rat priests or those rat lords. Even the gang of temple guards were non-committal, but he didn’t Do not doubt the white rat.
Amidst the shouts, the huge rat army launched a fierce charge.
Mouse Zhan’s judgment was correct. Shortly after the meteor fell, two forces were mobilized, coming from two directions.
Just after the huge rat-man army came ashore, there was a ripple on the sea here, and tall figures emerged one after another, a group of uninvited guests, a group with fine collar patches on their bodies and sharp teeth. A guy with gill holes on his cheeks and a slender snake tail.
The leading guy among them had four arms. They appeared in this sea area and stopped in the young strait, not preparing to leave.
Obviously, the person who came here is evil.
As the core area of this small world, the main continent has a more adaptable climate and richer resources. The competition on it is naturally more intense, and one race after another is the protagonist. The stage of this prosperous continent has gradually faded away in rounds of wrestling.
About a thousand years ago, the pattern of this continent was completely settled. One race completely rose up, driving other races into the rolling mountains, or driving them there. In the wild forest, he became the absolute controller and protagonist of this continent.
A huge empire was established and has been maintained to this day despite the ups and downs. Yes, this continent has a unified imperial structure and nominally belongs to a unified empire. Although This empire has been on its last legs due to the advent of the gods and the regional isolation caused indirectly by the arrival of the gods. But now, this empire has not yet perished and exists in name only.
Its existence makes the rules of the game for the gods who come to the main continent different from those of Du Yuan and others who parachute directly into the wilderness to engage in melee at the beginning.
The gods have occupied areas with their own beliefs, and large numbers of missionaries are running around in areas that are nominally part of the huge empire but are actually completely independent.
It is more of a conflict of faith, not as barbaric as the subcontinent where Du Yuan landed, where they often engage in genocidal wars with all their resources being spent on each other.
Of course, if they really can't compete with each other in terms of faith, the gods will not give up commanding their believers to engage in a holy war.
But it is overall more harmonious and civilized.
By the way, this race that occupied this continent and established a prosperous civilization and unified empire early on is also a famous star race.
Human race.
