Chapter 532: The Immortal Old Man
At the same time, on the southern battlefield where the Lizardmen army was...
As the ratmen began to counterattack, the pressure on the southern battlefield doubled.
Of course, the Lizardmen had previously been able to seize the opportunity to defeat the Ratmen’s front-line forces, fight all the way to the Ratmen’s doorsteps, and even break into a Ratmen’s nest, which shows that the Lizardmen are not vegetarians either.
Under normal circumstances, even if a fight breaks out, it would be impossible to determine the outcome of the entire situation in a short period of time.
And this is indeed the case. From the time the ratmen launched their counterattack to now, the two forces have been engaged in a nearly stalemate.
Until that round of confrontation broke out...
At this moment, the Lizardmen have retreated all the way to the outside of the ratman's nest that they had previously attacked, intending to form a line of defense here to resist the advance of the ratman army.
War broke out again, and the dense tide of rats surged towards them as usual.
The mortal enemies who have been entangled since the old civilization period know each other too well. Faced with the methods of the ratmen, the lizardmen also deployed their troops and calmly fought back.
Logically speaking, this would inevitably be another protracted battle. If nothing unexpected happened, the battle would eventually come to a temporary end with both sides tacitly stopping.
But unfortunately, an accident happened.
That moment was like the most horrific nightmare for the lizardmen on the battlefield.
In the battle, they suddenly lost all their strength, and a feeling of weakness they had never felt before enveloped them. Then the surging tide of rats completely submerged them in fear in an instant! In an instant, shrill screams spread across the entire battlefield, and the large army of lizardmen was defeated in an instant.
Even the ratman's supreme commander, Jikum, did not anticipate this situation.
Looking at the sudden defeat of the Lizardman army, Jikum's face was filled with confusion.
Although he really wanted to defeat the Lizardman army, the problem was that he hadn't done anything yet. How did he suddenly get defeated?
[Wait a minute, is this a trap? ]
If he thought about it carefully, he had suffered a great defeat before because he had fallen into the trap set by the Lizardmen.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Jikum hurriedly signaled the main force that was about to launch an action to slow down and be alert to the surroundings, while the rat tide's offensive continued.
Although the huge number of rat slave soldiers are the main force of their rat army, they are also the cheapest force of the ratmen.
For them who use the tactics of sea of troops, these two things are not in conflict.
This also allows them to squander the ratman slave soldiers at will to a certain extent.
These rat slave soldiers were already starving to death. Even if it was the corpse of their own kind beside them, they would eat it without hesitation, chewing up even the bones and swallowing them!
Now that the Lizardmen had suddenly lost their power and were overwhelmed by the tide of rats, they naturally could not escape the fate of being eaten completely.
But it is precisely because of this that the rat tide has a very fatal flaw, that is, the overly hungry rat slave soldiers will be more inclined to fight for the food in front of them than to obey the orders of the commander in the rear!
One fallen Lizardman was enough to attract a large number of rat slave soldiers from the surrounding area to rush forward, and then in just a few breaths, they would be eaten to pieces without leaving any residue.
Also eaten clean up are often some rat slave soldiers who failed in their fight for food.
These hungry ratmen were so crazy!
But for the defeated Lizardmen, this madness also gave them a chance to escape.
This sudden incident caught them off guard. In the onslaught of the rats, their commander-in-chief was missing, causing the lizardmen on the front line to suddenly lose their backbone.
Fortunately, they did not become headless flies and knew to escape to their own border defense line.
Although at the beginning Jikum had some doubts in his heart whether this was a trick of the Lizardmen, after all, the opponent's defeat was really inexplicable.
But as the Lizardmen's army continued to retreat, Jikum gradually had to admit that this was somewhat true.
Therefore, Jikum, who had been maintaining a cautious state, slowly began to relax and command the large forces to further devote himself to the pursuit operation at hand.
However, at this time, the main force of the Lizardmen had already scattered. Even though the general direction of retreat could be basically locked down, it was no longer realistic to surround and kill them on a large scale.
During this period, High Priest Bolevin, who received Zhou Xu's order and rushed to the border to formally incorporate the Lizardmen on the southern battlefield, happened to see the large army of Lizardmen, who were beaten like stray dogs by the ratmen, fleeing in batches back to the border defense line of their own territory.
At this moment, Bolevin's face was so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.
The large army of Lizardmen on the front line suffered a crushing defeat. If this matter is really talked about, Zhou Xu must take the blame.
To put it bluntly, he is the culprit.
But Bo Levin would definitely not think that this was their king's fault. If anyone was to blame, it would only be that bastard Soros. It was that guy who caused them to betray the gods and be punished by the gods! In this way, in a few words, Bo Levin successfully incorporated the lizardmen troops here, allowing the lizardmen to return to the arms of our lord, and at the same time, he put all the blame on Soros's head.
Of course, during this period of time, Bo Levin was not just busy putting the blame on Soros. After confirming that the large army had been defeated, the defeated troops have now fled back one after another, which means that the large army of ratmen is probably about to arrive.
Bo Levin knew their mortal enemy too well. Given the fact that they had just suffered a crushing defeat, it was impossible for the ratmen to let them go just like that! They would definitely hunt them down to the end!
But in the current situation, not to mention that the blessing the king gave them now is far less than before, even if they had the previous blessing, suffering such a great defeat would have a serious impact on the morale of their troops.
Although his arrival can boost morale to a certain extent, it is highly unlikely that they will have a chance of winning if they continue to fight against the rat army in such a short period of time. It is best to slow down for a while and regroup.
However, will the Rat People give them this opportunity? Obviously not!
Soon, the rat army was approaching! Looking at the black mass of rats outside the border defense line, Bo Levin's face was solemn.
Things had come to this point, and he had no other choice but to take a risk! At the command, the Blue Lizard Sword and Shield Soldiers, holding shields and swords, advanced forward in an attacking formation.
Immediately afterwards, heavy footsteps were heard from behind, and a group of burly armored dragons appeared on the battlefield.
The appearance of these troops was nothing surprising to Jikum, the commander of the ratmen, as they were all old rivals.
But this time, unlike before, a large chair was placed on the back of the armored dragon in the middle. On the chair, a figure covered with dark red scales was sitting there! When this figure came into view, Jikum's face suddenly changed.
"This old immortal is still alive?!"
