Chapter 586: How Cool It Is
Although the Claws did not send out regular army troops, the rat tide offensive they launched was stronger than ever before. Coupled with the continuous consumption, the Lizardmen army was under great pressure along the way.
Among them, Tash, who was at the front line and personally led his troops to fight, felt a sense of relief in his heart after a series of fierce battles.
[Fortunately, the king has given us more gifts, otherwise this wave of fighting would be even more difficult. ]
They had a safe journey and successfully retreated to their own border.
During this process, Claw, who was commanding the rat tide to chase the large army of Lizardmen all the way here, was stunned when he saw the Lizardmen's garrison camp on the border from afar. He rubbed his eyes immediately, and then opened his eyes wide again to look into the distance.
“Ah, this…”
Looking at the huge building that came into view, Li Zlaw was at a loss for words for a moment.
The other ratmen on the side, including Jikum, were all stunned at this moment, obviously shocked by the scene before them.
The eyesight of these rat people is indeed not very good, but they are not so blind that they can't see such a big thing.
At this moment, a tall wall was erected at the location of the Lizardmen border garrison camp, surrounding the entire camp directly inside, forming a border fortress! They have fought the Lizardmen for many years and have never seen anything like this.
But looking at the tall wall, the sharp claws vaguely realized something.
"No, we can't let them retreat!"
Amid screams, Claw hurriedly gave orders, trying to intercept and kill the retreating Lizardman army with all his might.
However, at this point, the main force of the Lizardmen had already retreated outside the border fortress, and it was too late to intercept and kill them with all their might.
As early as when they were retreating, Li Ce immediately sent a messenger back to report.
Now that their large army had just withdrawn to this place, the gate of the fortress had already been opened. The garrison troops inside the gate rushed out quickly to cover the withdrawing large army as quickly as possible and then closed the gate to block the subsequent tide of rats outside the gate.
Faced with the thick gate covered with iron sheets, the crazy rat tide directly launched an offensive, trying to completely destroy the fortress gate.
Li Ce and his men behind the door would naturally not allow the rat tide to do whatever they wanted.
The next second, accompanied by a sound, the fortress gate did not open, but a dense array of crystal iron spears stabbed out from behind the gate! The rat slave soldiers who were biting and scratching frantically on the door were stabbed through one after another!
It turned out that when the craftsmen were making the fortress gate, they opened many small windows on it. The soldiers standing behind the gate only needed to open the small window and then they could directly pass through the small window, stab the crystal iron spears out from the gate and kill the enemies blocking the gate.
At the same time, heavy wooden beams covered with iron nails were thrown down from the top of the ten-meter-high wall.
The wooden pole fell to the ground and smashed directly into the rat tide, creating a bloody mess! The lizardmen soldiers on the wall who were responsible for throwing the wooden pole cheered.
The effect created by the wooden beam hitting them was simply too cool to be true!
"Quick! Hurry up! Smash them to death! Smash these stinky rats to death!!"
On the top of the wall, the lizardman general in charge of directing this work was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
As the soldiers heard the cheers and shouts, they became more excited.
In order to deal with the threat of the rat tide, according to the instructions of their king, a lot of wooden spears have been stored inside the fortress. Now they are smashing towards the rat tide below one after another, and one smash can directly kill a large number of them!
This killing power is really as good as it can be for the lizardmen! During this period, as their enemy, the sharp claws in the distance twitched their eyes when they saw this scene.
Although he didn't care about the lives of those rat slave soldiers, it was not difficult for him to see how difficult it was to attack this border fortress.
He didn't know about this thing at first. He just thought it was a garrison camp, which didn't have much defensive advantage, so he didn't care whether the enemy retreated or not.
Who could have thought that things would turn out like this...
As his thoughts raced, Li Zhua turned his head and looked at Jikum standing beside him.
"Did you know that the Lizardmen came up with this thing?!"
Hearing this question, Jikum was startled and immediately shook his head.
"I didn't know about this matter before!"
Although he wanted to arrogantly say, "Yes, I knew it a long time ago. I called you a fool for not listening to me before, but now you are stupid, right?"
But considering that the consequences of saying this would probably be disastrous, Jikum decided to just feel good about it.
Not to mention that he really had no knowledge of this matter, so there was no need for him to take the blame just for the sake of pleasure.
At the same time, looking at the Lizardmen's border fortress in the distance again, the shock in Jikum's eyes became even more intense.
This was completely beyond their imagination! After being surprised, Jikum, whose emotions had calmed down a little, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed again.
[Why didn't you listen to me earlier? You are such an idiot! ]
Although he was not aware of the existence of this border fortress, it did not prevent his previous decision from being correct.
During this process, the garrison troops that had remained inside the border fortress as support now took on the main city defense work behind the city gate and above the city wall.
The large army of Lizardmen that retreated, led by Li Ce, took a short rest inside to recover the strength consumed by the previous continuous fighting.
There is no doubt that this is the advantage of having city walls.
The previous garrison camp could not provide them with the rest environment they have now.
At this moment, inside the city wall, although the lizardmen were the attacked party, their morale was high because of their frequent successes.
If Li Ce had not given the order, those lizardmen soldiers would have rushed out and killed everyone.
Of course, Li Ce would definitely not issue this order in a short period of time.
Apart from anything else, it is a fact that the Lizardmen army has been severely depleted of physical strength and is in a bad state at the moment.
To put it bluntly, the reason they are able to gain the upper hand right now is thanks to the defensive advantage that this city wall brings them.
If they really rushed out, the situation would probably be completely different.
Li Ce's idea at this time was very simple, which was to guard the city wall and fight a defensive battle with the ratmen first, and then do something after they had rested enough.
But the reality obviously won't let him get his wish so easily.
Soon, accompanied by bursts of exclamations from the top of the wall, the rat slave soldiers piled under the city wall were seen climbing up the outer wall of the city wall with their bare hands!
