Chapter 452: A Plan
The rat army, which had been tricked by the high priest, was suddenly attacked by the velociraptors in the rear position. They suffered heavy losses and were forced to withdraw, along with the rat tide, which also retreated like a tide.
And just like when the Lizardmen are in trouble, the Ratmen will not let them go easily.
Now that the ratmen had been badly damaged, the lizardmen would certainly not miss this opportunity! Before dawn, the exciting attack horn had already sounded, and the lizardmen soldiers stepped on the corpses of the ratmen and launched an offensive with roars.
The ratmen, who had just suffered a severe blow, were already in a bad situation. Facing the massive attack of the Lizardmen army, they could hardly even keep their footing, let alone regroup, and retreated all the way.
In response to this, the Lizardmen, who still had no intention of letting the ratmen go, naturally continued to pursue them relentlessly.
As mortal enemies that have been entangled for countless generations, it is not easy for each of them to catch the other. Once they catch each other, they will definitely hold on tightly and will never let go easily!
During this process, the rat people had already shown signs of being defeated.
In order to curb the Lizardmen's pursuit momentum and buy a chance to retreat, the leader Jikum frequently ordered the rats to carry out suicidal interceptions against the pursuers.
The effectiveness of this simple and crude approach is unquestionable.
Faced with the rat tide, the Lizardman army's pursuit momentum was indeed significantly slowed down, but conversely, the number of casualties on the ratman side was also increasing rapidly.
They really don't care about the life or death of the slave ratmen, but as mentioned earlier, the countless slave ratmen are the core component of the ratman army.
Appropriate deaths can alleviate their internal food pressure, but if there are large-scale deaths, it will undoubtedly affect their combat effectiveness.
But at this point, Jikum undoubtedly can't care so much.
For him at this moment, the most important thing was to get out of this situation safely. He would deal with other things after he survived this wave! I don't know if it was because he had been holding back for too long, but the lizardmen's attack was extremely fierce. They maintained an amazing pursuit momentum and broke through the first nest of the ratmen.
This kind of thing has never happened in the nearly 100 years of history of the two tribes.
Having accomplished a great feat, the lizardmen became even more excited and continued to chase.
However, although the secretion of dopamine can make them temporarily forget their fatigue, this state cannot last forever.
In fact, after breaking through this ratman's nest, the condition of the Lizardman army had begun to decline due to long-term high-intensity pursuit.
After that, they launched two more rounds of attacks, but neither achieved very good results.
After understanding the situation, the high priest decided to quit while he was ahead.
He ordered the Lizardman army on the front line to temporarily stop their offensive and settle down to rest.
At this stage, their record in this wave of battle is at least good. The opposing ratmen have also suffered heavy losses and their morale is low. They should not dare to act rashly in the short term.
Under this premise, if he ignored the condition of his soldiers and continued to force the offensive.
If the offensive fails at that time, it will affect the morale of our side.
The best strategy is to let the soldiers who have been fighting all the way rest and adjust their condition before looking for an opportunity.
At the same time, deep in the ratman's lair, Jikum, who had escaped in a panic, was now tied to a wooden stake. The ratman standing in front of him had a pair of claws that were even more exaggerated than those of ordinary ratmen.
The next moment, the opponent's claws pierced directly into Jikum's flesh.
At that moment, the boiling blood splashed directly onto the ratman's face. The sharp claws broke through his flesh and pierced into his body. The pain made Jikum shiver uncontrollably, but he clenched his teeth and did not utter a scream.
The guy in front of him is Claw, the patriarch of their Claw tribe. The entire tribe is named after him.
"Jikum, you won't have another chance. I think you should understand what I mean."
While speaking in his cold voice, Sharp Claw kept stirring in Jikum's flesh and blood with his claws, causing Jikum to almost scream several times.
"Don't forget, when you were about to be killed after failing in the fight for the leader of the Corrupted Tribe, it was me who saved your life."
While speaking, Sharp Claw casually pulled his claws out of Jikum's flesh and blood, causing a string of blood to bloom. Then, Sharp Claw waved his hand, and the sharp claw tip cut through the ropes on Jikum's body and the straps wrapped around Jikum's head.
Under the bandages, a rotten head with no fur left and flesh that had turned purple-black was suddenly exposed to the air.
"I saved your worthless life, not to let you cause me any loss. You should understand what I mean!"
At this moment, listening to the other party's sharp words, Jikum did not dare to resist at all, but just lowered his head deeply.
The claws glanced at him and licked the blood on their claws.
"Next time you either bring the lizard man's head here or your own head here! Get out of here!"
Amid the sharp claws' scolding, Jikum grabbed the straps that had fallen to the ground and quickly retreated.
At the same time, at the front-line camp of Da Zhou, the latest round of supplies was delivered just now.
While further replenishing the food supplies on their front line, they also delivered a large number of giant crossbows and a freshly-made three-bow crossbow, as well as the last batch of rattan armor and the latest batch of scale armor!
As of now, the comprehensive performance of rattan armor is undoubtedly better than that of scale armor, and it is still allocated first to elite soldiers who wear rattan armor, while scale armor is allocated to soldiers in ordinary troops.
In this way, their Great Zhou troops were finally able to properly put their troops in armor.
The availability of equipment makes them more confident about the upcoming battle.
However, Li Ce, the front-line commander, had no intention of launching an offensive at this stage.
Their core combat power on the front battlefield is still the cavalry after all, and active attack means that they need to enter the rainforest area. In this environment, the cavalry is basically useless and has no advantage for them. There is no need to take the risk of damaging their own combat power to do this for the time being.
For now, his main task on the front line is to guard the camp and wait for the mountain soldiers who have completed subsequent training to arrive at the front line.
After the troops are basically in place, follow-up operations can be gradually carried out.
However, the whole thing did not go as smoothly as Li Ce had expected.
Just one week later, the Lizardmen on the outskirts of the plain began to take action.
The huge armored dragon stepped into the plain area, just when the sentinels on the Da Zhou side thought that the other side was going to launch another action like before.
There was another noise in the rain forest opposite, and the second, third, and fourth armored dragons entered their field of vision one after another! ! ! I slept late and woke up late yesterday (End of this chapter)
