The Ratman King temporarily withdrew his fist and crossed his arms to block his head.

A dull sound, like a blunt knife cutting through leather, rang out.

The long sword, as slender as a sapling, was retracted, leaving a wound on the Ratman King's sturdy fur. It only cut through the fur and damaged a small amount of muscle.

However, a chilling force was preventing its powerful self-healing ability from recovering from its injuries, and at the same time, the chilling pain made the Ratman King unable to help but show a pained expression.

It looked at the person in front of it.

"Squeak—"

Zhang Lin leaped directly through the crowd. Instead of blocking the Ratman King's fists aimed at the two experts from Hope City, he slashed directly at the Ratman King's head.

To relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao.

Humans have this advantage: the wisdom accumulated over thousands of years is unmatched by the newly emerging intelligent race, the rat-people.

Especially in this ancient country, a very profound strategy was summarized by our ancestors in just four words, making it easy for future generations to remember.

In critical moments, you don't even need to think; you can use it directly.

Saving two people at once is too strenuous, and there's a chance he might get hurt by the Rat King.

Therefore, Zhang Lin chose to attack its vital points directly.

As expected, Zhang Lin slashed at the Ratman King's head with his sword. The Ratman King decisively abandoned its attack on the two Hope City experts and chose to return to defense.

"Recover, then help me kill the Rat King!" Zhang Lin said to the two experts from Hope City without turning his head, then took up his sword with both hands and began to fight the Rat King.

The two experts from Hope City looked ashamed.

During the battle, they were actually intimidated by the Ratman King's aura. If Zhang Lin hadn't appeared, they might have been killed.

They're all seasoned veterans, yet they made such a basic mistake, performing worse than Zhang Lin, who has never awakened his memories...

The two composed themselves and immediately joined the hunt for the Rat King.

Everyone else was tied down by the rat-men around them and couldn't help Zhang Lin for the time being. There were only two people by his side.

The Rat King's attributes are definitely very high, at least higher than Zhang Lin's.

Zhang Lin didn't dare to confront it head-on.

Especially after it used an ability similar to Yang Wenhao's "One Mouse Takes the Lead," Zhang Lin could only temporarily avoid its sharp edge.

If things continue to develop this way, it will be detrimental to humanity.

More and more ratmen are awakening. Once the ratman army has dealt with everyone else, even Zhang Lin will die in despair surrounded by tens of thousands of ratmen.

Zhang Lin could only think of new solutions.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in his mind.

"Xiao Nuan, bring that woman here!"

Zhang Lin roared without turning his head.

Yang Wenting.

This woman is of great use.

Zhang Lin had previously thought that he would kill the Rat King first, and then let Yang Wenting control the Ratman army, so that the crisis could be resolved.

But who could have imagined that the Ratman King would be so powerful that he was no match for him, and that the Ratman army would be so formidable that they completely held back the experts of Hope City.

At this point, Yang Wenting had no choice but to go on stage first.

Her ability, "second only to the Rat King," makes her the second most important person in the Rat People, second only to the Rat King.

Sending her along, while not enough to completely control the ratman army, could at least delay them a bit, preventing them from fully utilizing their advantages of large numbers, unity, and fearlessness.

"Understood!" After resting for a while, and with Ji Yuetong constantly feeding her the sacred ritual food, Xia Xiaonuan had recovered most of her strength. Hearing Zhang Lin's call, she immediately led Yang Wenting forward.

She wields a Type 92 pistol, each bullet imbued with flames emitting orange and blue light. Upon hitting a ratman, the bullet explodes, and each bullet can kill at least one or two ratmen.

However, Xia Xiaonuan soon discovered that she didn't need to fight at all. Wherever Yang Wenting behind her went, all the ratmen were confused, not daring to attack, but also not daring to retreat.

Surrounded by the rat-man army, Yang Wenting trembled slightly. Although she could control the rat-men, she had never used this ability before, and she was instinctively terrified.

"Hurry up!" No longer needing to fight the ratmen, Xia Xiaonuan simply pointed her gun at Yang Wenting, as she didn't quite trust this woman.

Yang Wenting could only quicken her pace.

As she moved forward, wherever she went, the nearby ratmen, just like the previous ones, immediately fell into confusion, not knowing what to do.

The experts from Hope City were all dumbfounded.

What's going on?

The rat-man army, which had been so ferocious just moments before, suddenly stopped attacking!

"Go help Zhang Lin!" Xia Xiaonuan was overjoyed and immediately gave the order to the group of people who were now free.

As the first captain, she was renowned and her orders were perfectly reasonable. After a brief adjustment, the group rushed towards the Ratman King.

"Squeak—"

The Ratman King realized something was wrong and became very anxious. He immediately wanted to change his target and attack the "Ratman High Priest" Yang Wenting.

"You don't take me seriously?" Zhang Lin saw his enemy, with whom he had been locked in combat for a long time, suddenly change targets, and immediately stabbed it in the rear with a knife. "Come back here!"

"Squeak—"

The Ratman King felt a chill run down his spine and dared not continue attacking Yang Wenting. He could only turn around and punch the Miao sword to save his chrysanthemum.

Its body was covered in tiny wounds, and the increasing amount of Netherworld power made it slower and slower. Its already limited intelligence was also tormented by the cold pain, leaving it with very little intelligence.

Having failed to change his target, the Rat King simply ignored Yang Wenting and, in a fit of rage, charged directly at Zhang Lin.

However, by this time, Zhang Lin's helpers had already arrived. Although they were not as strong as Zhang Lin and were nothing in front of the Ratman King, they had the advantage of numbers and intelligence.

When the Rat King attacked Zhang Lin, they launched a sneak attack from behind.

The Rat King turned and attacked them, so they ran away to escape.

Zhang Lin would also take the opportunity to stab the Ratman King's buttocks with his Miao sword.

"Squeak squeak squeak squeak!!!"

The Rat King roared angrily incessantly.

It had barely been born when it sensed the sinister intentions of humans. It was filled with rage and wanted nothing more than to beat all the humans present to death.

However, a moment later, the Ratman King could only reluctantly close his eyes, covered in wounds.

"We've won!"

"We've won!"

The experts from Hope City were moved to tears.

After a fierce battle, many people died.

But thankfully, we still won.

With so many ratmen, they can obtain a massive amount of demon cores.

Everyone who survives has a bright future.

"I knew it, Captain Zhang would definitely have a way..." Qiao Ruoxi sat down on the ground with a thud. Her white top and light blue pants were now covered in blood. She was almost exhausted. She sat on the ground panting, a relieved smile on her face.

Beside him, Chen Junyu stood with his sword, gazing into the distance, his lips pressed tightly together, not uttering a word.
