Chapter 814 The War Restarts (extra update for accumulating 300 monthly tickets)
On the side of the Corrupted Clan, the subsequent actions of the Ratman reconnaissance team quickly allowed them to completely lock onto the existence of the enemy.
Although the Ratman Leader had guessed that something had happened to the Claw Clan long before, he still felt under increased pressure when they confirmed that the Claw Clan had been defeated by the Lizardmen and that all of the Claw Clan's territories had been occupied by the Lizardmen.
This result shows that the strength of the Lizardmen here has clearly surpassed that of the Claw Clan. Otherwise, given the size of the Claw Clan and the small gap in strength, there would only be an endless war like before. Wanting to destroy them would simply be a dream.
As he came to this conclusion, he had to re-evaluate the strength of the Lizardmen.
However, on the other hand, after successfully dealing with the enemies on the other side, the corrupt clan gained more resources and larger territories, and its strength is now far superior to what it used to be.
After all, it was because the patriarch of their Corrupt Clan believed that their strength had surpassed that of the Claw Clan and that they could successfully annex it, which led to the current action.
No matter what, since they have become "neighbors" with the Lizardmen, it is basically impossible for them to live in peace based on the identities of the two tribes.
Since war is unavoidable anyway, their next actions will naturally not be affected by it.
Not to mention that in the past six months, the population of their corrupt clan has continued to grow, and now it has reached the point where they have to give away some of their people in order to ease the internal food pressure.
In the past, this task would naturally be given to their old rivals.
But now that the old rivals have been destroyed by them, this task can only fall on the "new neighbors" in front of them.
There is no point thinking too much about some things. You still have to fight to know how powerful the lizardman on the opposite side is!
It was a new day, and the alarm sounded on the southern border. Soros climbed up the fortress wall as quickly as possible and looked into the distance.
Ever since the discovery of ratmen outside the border, the border garrison, which has entered a level one alert state, has been sending out pterosaur riders to patrol the air throughout the day. The approach of the large ratmen army naturally did not escape their eyes.
Almost at the same time as the target was discovered, the pterosaur rider in the air sent out a signal at the fastest speed.
During the time that Soros was on the top of the wall, the black tide of rats had already appeared at the end of his vision.
Needless to say, the lizardmen have rich experience in dealing with ratmen.
This is the first wave of rats, but it will definitely not be the last.
The ratmen were fighting a war of attrition, the core of which was to use countless ratmen slave soldiers to wear them down and exhaust them to death.
The high walls of the fortress can relieve their pressure to a great extent, but now they are at their peak and it is a good time to quickly reduce the ratmen's strength. Naturally, they have no intention of defending themselves from the beginning.
The fortress gate opened, and the dragoons rushed out directly, followed by the lizardman spearmen who pushed forward in a square formation to support them.
They had already practiced this set of tactics to perfection, and had also accumulated a wealth of experience at the cost of countless ratmen's lives.
Now he used it again, and in just two rounds, he almost defeated the rat tide on the opposite side.
Hiding in the dark and with limited vision, the Ratman Leader could not see the entire situation, but he was able to get a glimpse of the tactics. Combined with the reaction of the rat tide, his face was full of disbelief.
Had they not fought against the Lizardmen for many years? How could the other side have become so strong? Although the first wave of the Ratmen's attack had not yet ended, the Ratmen leader was already convinced that the demise of the Claw Clan was definitely related to the methods used by the Lizardmen.
There was no plan to retreat immediately, as these rat slave soldiers were here to die.
At the same time, the intelligence he has obtained is too little. If he withdraws now, wouldn’t the first wave of rats be wasted?
Thinking of this, the ratman leader waved his hand, and the messenger next to him immediately understood.
Soon, the horn sounded, and the second and third waves of rats quickly swept in.
Relying on the advantages provided by tactical coordination and weapons in their hands, they killed quickly, but the rat tide on the opposite side came even faster.
Relying on the simplest and most brutal advantage in military strength, after these waves of rats, the lizardmen garrison here really felt like they were being held down.
The Lizardmen soldiers stationed in the southern border had not fought such a tough battle for several years. The opposing ratmen directly challenged them, and they were a little uncomfortable with it.
Standing on a high wall, Soros, who was observing the situation from a high vantage point throughout, naturally noticed that the soldiers were in a bad state.
Faced with this situation, he also made a prompt decision and quickly issued an order...
"Send a signal and have the troops withdraw first. Tell the archers to shoot arrows at any time when I give the order to cover the troops' withdrawal."
As he spoke, orders and arrangements were continuously issued from Soros' mouth one after another.
"Are the wooden beams and boulders ready? Be on standby at any time!"
After confirming the signal to retreat, the Lizardman Spearmen maintained their formation and began to retreat.
Seeing this, the surging tide of rats had no intention of letting them go. Countless rat slave soldiers kept surrounding and killing them. Subsequent waves of rats also kept entering the battlefield, trying to rely on their absolute numbers to kill them on the battlefield outside the fortress.
This situation doubled the pressure on the Lizardman Spearmen.
During this period, relying on his charging ability, Tash led his dragoons to break through the encirclement of the rat tide and reached the periphery of the battlefield, preparing to adjust his status, catch his breath, and then fight back.
"Damn it, I haven't fought for so long that my body can't adapt to it."
"Captain! Look over there!"
Hearing his subordinates' reminder, Tash subconsciously turned his head to look.
At this glance, he just happened to see the subsequent wave of rats entering the scene, which made Tash's face turn black on the spot.
"Fuck! These stinky rats want to pile us up to death!"
Without even the time to catch his breath, Tash could see that the excessive number of troops had made it difficult for the spearmen in the center of the battlefield to hold on.
At the same time, countless corpses of the ratmen they killed continued to pile up at their feet, which directly hindered their movement. If no one supported them, it would be difficult to escape.
"Brothers, follow me and fight back!!"
With a roar, Tash led the dragoons and rushed back at the fastest speed.
At this stage, the cavalry units are still in good condition and still have killing power. Even though the scale of the rat tide is becoming more and more exaggerated as the enemy continues to increase its troops, they still have the strength to fight back.
Using all their explosive power, the dragoons led by Tash swept through the layers of rat tides and opened a path for the spearmen who were almost surrounded and killed.
Seizing the opportunity, the spearmen quickly broke out in that direction, and with the full cover of the dragoons, they finally managed to successfully retreat back to the fortress.
