Chapter 341 Commander's Last Words

“We failed!”

In the temporary combat meeting room, a ratman soldier, covered in blood and with one eye blind, rushed in with his injured body and shouted to the ratman officer who was still busy and tense.

Click.

The water glass fell to the ground.

The officers stopped moving, confused, surprised, puzzled, and shocked. They all looked at the rat soldier with different eyes.

"What did you say, what failed?"

An officer stood up, ran to the rat soldier in two steps, grabbed his shoulders, and asked in a trembling voice.

His question was also what other officers wanted to know.

"We suffered a defeat on the front line. Our troops who were sent to ambush the Undead were discovered and suffered heavy losses." The rat soldier said dejectedly.

"Impossible! With our commander here, how could we be defeated so easily by the undead?" the officer shouted in disbelief.

This result is unacceptable to them.

To support the city-state of Takker, the nobles assembled an elite army of 600,000.

In a battle with the undead outside the city-state of Takker, tens of thousands of people were lost.

Later, tens of thousands of people were lost in guerrilla warfare, ambushes, and tunnel warfare.

After the tunnel warfare was cracked by Zhang Peng's ratman army, the old commander decided to abandon other tactics and instead use long-range firepower to forcibly bombard the other side's undead army attacking the city-state.

By borrowing the ambush talent of the ratmen, they did achieve quite good results, and achieved good results at a relatively small cost.

The Undead seemed to have been driven crazy by them. Instead of restraining themselves, they gathered their troops and launched a frantic attack on the city-state.

Faced with wave after wave of attacks from the undead, the city-state is in danger and is in danger of falling at any time.

The old commander suspected at the time that the Undead launched an attack of such a scale just to lure them into a trap.

This is not a conspiracy, it is an open conspiracy to force the rat people to go to war.

If they don't go to the rescue, the city-state will fall.

Faced with the powerful undead tribe, the old commander had no choice but to fight.

But before leaving, he had made preparations and took with him an army of more than 300,000. If nothing else, it could relieve the pressure of the siege.

Of course, since you are preparing to face the undead, you must be prepared for losses.

The old commander estimated that there would be considerable damage.

These are all known to everyone.

But I didn't expect the news I received was failure.

Failure and injury are not the same concept.

The damage is estimated. For example, the old commander feels that the number of lost ratmen troops should be less than 100,000.

Failure is different. The damage is completely uncontrollable and morale is completely destroyed.

With the results of previous guerrilla warfare, ambushes, and tunnel warfare, the officers believed that the old commander could still gain the upper hand over the undead this time.

In response to the officer's roar of disbelief, the ratman soldier simply shook his head and explained, "Our actions were discovered. Just as we launched the attack, the ratmen rushed out. Some of us were forced to go underground to fight the ratmen, and the ground forces were ambushed by the Undead cavalry, disrupting our plan."

The officer gasped, loosening his grip on the ratman soldier and stumbling back a few steps, muttering to himself, "Impossible! I don't believe it. Absolutely impossible! The commander can't be defeated so easily!"

The other officers had already reacted by now, and someone immediately asked, "How is our army now? How many have been lost? Has it been disbanded? How many have returned?"

A series of questions left the rat soldiers silent.

Although he was anxious, no one rushed him and gave him time to think.

After more than a minute, the rat soldier finally spoke, "We were scattered. Everyone was running away. At least half of our men were lost, probably more. I don't know how many of them made it back."

Hundreds of thousands, at least hundreds of thousands of people were lost.

The officers looked at each other, feeling sad.

Their army was originally insufficient in number, and facing tens of millions of undead, their hundreds of thousands of people were a drop in the bucket. If it weren't for the old commander, their confidence would have been shattered long ago.

Now we have lost more than 100,000 people, which is like adding insult to injury.

Suddenly, an officer thought of a serious problem. He stared at the rat soldier and asked, "Where is the commander? Where is he?"

Everyone present was startled and looked at the rat soldiers again.

The ratman soldier seemed to be thinking of something extremely sad. He stood there stupidly and said in a hoarse, low voice, "The commander was killed. The place where he was was the focus of the Undead Riders and was directly attacked. None of the personal guards under the commander's command were spared. The commander also died at that time."

"What!"

The officers' throats were blocked, and several officers who were unable to stand steadily fell into their chairs.

This is the worst news.

The old commander is dead.

That is their backbone!

The death of the commander-in-chief is much more serious than the loss of hundreds of thousands of ratmen warriors.

Looking at the distraught Ratman officer, the Ratman soldier choked back his sorrow and said to the officers present, "The commander left his final order."

The officers suddenly looked up and stared at the rat soldiers.

"Convey the commander's final order." The rat soldier stood up straight and adjusted his breathing.

"Friends, I'm sorry. I failed. I couldn't complete my mission. The undead are more powerful than I thought."

"For the future of the Skaven, and for their continued survival on this land, we must continue to fight, even if we face difficult circumstances."
