Chapter 344, The Beginning of the War
Twin Fortresses.
The dark door opened again on this day, and countless rat men swarmed out amid the crowd.
Only the rat men appeared in the first wave, and countless rat men poured out from the dark door that slowly opened.
The great noble who supported the coalition of nobles may be one of the few great nobles in the Dark Eye human race who did not devote all his energy to the upcoming power game.
Always stationed in front of the twin fortresses, stationed in the connecting area between the two continents.
Duke Walton Byrd, a grand duke who was born in the barren land of the far east.
He seemed to be prepared for all this. During this time, he never relaxed.
Perhaps because of their eagerness for war, the rat people launched their charge during the day. Such a charge did not require lighting spells all over the sky to give early warning.
In the newly built fortress, this nobleman, whose appearance was not so impressive compared to his title, put on his own armor, which was a rather gorgeous set of armor, and stood on the high platform. , knights stood in front of him.
A loud cry, a cry of glory.
Bringing bursts of cheers.
The knights began to climb the city wall, and the rat men also arrived.
Three flags were erected in the chaos. It is doubtful that in such chaos, can these rat warriors belonging to the three armies really find their commander-in-chief? .
Amidst the chaos and the sharp and ear-piercing sounds, the rat people slammed into the fortress.
There is no more preparation, no more orders and command, not even a long ladder.
In an extremely crude way.
Rush, rush, rush, and then crash into this strong fortress.
It's not that the rat people haven't prepared war equipment. In fact, these things have already been piled up behind the Twin Fortresses.
It's just obvious that neither the private army leaders sent by the rat-man lords nor the war priest took the rat-man warriors in their hands seriously.
These guys were accumulating more and more in the corners of that vast grassland day by day.
Of course, this seems to be something done by Shu Zhan, but how can I put it, they may not have the prestige and ability of Shu Zhan, but they have learned this bad habit of Shu Zhan. .
In addition to the flag, he has to pay attention to something. He climbs on the bodies of the guards who are fanatically chasing him, stands on the heads of these surging guys, takes the lead on this battlefield, waves his flag, and uses his sharp The voice shouted loudly, trying to fight against this chaotic state.
His behavior is actually an abnormality.
Too unique.
Could it be that while chanting day by day, even I believed in those nonsense slogans?
No, no one can understand the hardships of this road better than Qi. How can he not know that what he chants every day is more just talk?
Of course, of course, he did this not because he cherished these lowly guys who were not very valuable, but more for himself.
Escaped from that run and stayed in this twin fortress, and came into contact with the temple guards early, even turning himself into a chess piece.
Everything went so smoothly, he brought about the beginning of the war again, but it was not as good as he thought.
As a remnant who was appointed by the Rat War, he took refuge in the temple guards, but he did not get the full support of the temple guards.
When the war was about to begin, the big shots were eager to promote the war. It was at this time that he waited for a group of rat priests to descend from the sky.
Even if the temple guards are never short of blood mushrooms, as long as there are choices, there will definitely be differences in severity, not to mention that in this war, the temple guards do not intend to completely rely on those rats. Instead of using a human caravan, they pulled up a not-so-good logistics line all by themselves.
It was right not to believe in the rat caravan. Rat Zhan once thought that he could easily suppress these greedy guys.
But it was a bitter experience.
A problem arose. Amidst the stumbling of the logistics line, the temple guards were faced with two choices. One was the orthodox rat warlord Qi, and the other was a large group of war priests from the rat army.
Their choice suddenly became clear.
I have to admit that War Priest is really useful.
Wearing heavy armor on the battlefield, raising the spear high in the hand, and shouting sharply, while charging, he can also continuously spread various motivating magic spells. The iconic killing halo ensured that as long as they did not die while running wildly on the battlefield, there would be no possibility of the morale in this area collapsing.
What does the flag have?
The only thing he had left was this group of cripples who tightly gathered around him.
He has no right to choose, he can only hold on to these firmly.
Shouting loudly on the battlefield is not safe, but it is simple. Even though it has taken the lead, the flag still does not look very conspicuous in this chaotic battlefield.
The owners of the two flags, competing for merit, have appeared at the forefront of the war.
The rat warriors began to ascend the city.
The sharp claws can firmly grasp the city wall that is not smooth enough. The rat men behind them are coming in waves, pushing the guy in front to keep moving forward.
In such a short period of time, the military mages were unable to shape the walls of this fortress into such a smooth state that the rat people could not get their claws on them. However, some good things from the underground of Yuanwang City were partially dug out, and the stone pillars engraved with inscriptions were relocated under the fortress.
Unfortunately, due to the slight changes in the rules of the world, these stone pillars have become less effective.
The military mages were nervously debugging, but this problem could not be completely solved for a while, which exposed a fatal loophole in this fortress.
In general, this war was not that exciting. In the absence of lightning cannons and chaos cannons, the war returned to the desperate melee combat.
Throwing stones, fire oil, magic, each rat-man fell from the city wall, and disappeared in the crowded tide of rat-men with horrified shouts.
Desperately pressing forward, with the participation of these rat priests, it is not difficult to continuously push these despicable guys onto the battlefield.
Wailing, neighing, roaring, and gradually red-eyed rat warriors were advancing desperately.
At the same time, the Ratmen opened a tunnel underground.
You have to admit the efficiency of the Great Claw Priest engineering team, although this hastily dug underground tunnel is not that reliable.
When the tunnel was about to be completed, the slave rats involved in the construction were driven out of the underground tunnel without hesitation. They were used as the first batch of cannon fodder to explore the path and to attract attention.
The Big Claw Priests are not very distressed by this act of killing donkeys. With the strong support of the rat lords, a large number of rat caravans come to the Twin Fortresses every day, one after another. The Ratman breeding houses, workshops, and planting rooms in the city are all operating at full capacity.
In such a situation, of course they will not be moved by the loss of some slave rats.
A large number of disgraced slave rats suddenly appeared in this strong fortress, causing a considerable degree of chaos, but causing no casualties. These timid guys were thrown a round of spells by the accompanying mages on the city wall. After that, I completely lost my courage.
Running around in this fortress like crazy.
Some even wanted to go back through the dug underground tunnels, but unfortunately, just as they entered, they ran into a group of tall guys.
Such a narrow underground tunnel makes the rat trolls particularly restless.
It would not be a good thing to run into them at this time.
Chaos suddenly began to spread within the fortress.
The defense of the noble coalition became precarious.
This looks like it will be a good start.
Until that gorgeous armor appeared on the city wall.
The commander of the noble coalition, Duke Walton Byrd, stood on the city wall. Compared to the chaos in the fortress, the situation on the city wall was not that critical.
The towering city wall is an extremely strong line of defense.
Climbing alone is already an extremely difficult task, not to mention having to face all kinds of interference.
But there is no doubt that the chaos in the fortress brought about a swing in morale.
A large number of magic knights have formed a formation and are pressing towards the entrance of the underground tunnel where ratmen are constantly pouring out. Nearly half of the defense measures on the towering city wall have changed their aim.
The mobilization of defensive forces brought about a void in defense, and more and more rat warriors began to rush onto the city wall.
The swing in morale at this time is fatal. The too narrow underground tunnels are also restrictive for the rat people. Even if there is a steady stream of horrific distortions like rat trolls, that is The Magic Knights, who formed a defensive formation and equipped themselves with heavy tower shields, were still able to deal with it.
Humanity is also making constant progress.
The fall of the city wall is undoubtedly more fatal.
The long swords struck the rough chain armor one after another, making crisp sounds.
The rat people have never forgotten what they are best at, and they are constantly strengthening this point.
Perhaps in the near future, the warhammer will become the most common weapon equipped by the warriors of the Youyan tribe.
Supported by the killing aura, the rat warriors who climbed up the city wall rushed towards the human warriors in front of them manically and without any rules.
He was slapped hard on the face by a wooden shield and fell off the city wall.
Obviously, these guys are still too young and not as sophisticated as their predecessors. Those senior rat warriors would not be so reckless.
Those guys are not only resistant to all kinds of madness and magic, but also know more clearly that the first thing to do when climbing the city wall is to stand firm, not to show off your face. He bared his teeth and claws ferociously.
The young rat warrior crossed the sky and brought that long scream.
Or perhaps, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities for the two sides to fight face-to-face in subsequent wars.
The rat people caught the Dark Eye humans by surprise, and the absence of magic weapons made this war the most barbaric form.
The decision made by the commander of the noble coalition was correct. In a very short period of time, the two sides fighting on the city wall formed a flesh and blood mill.
Blood, death, and the rat-man corpses falling like raindrops.
