Chapter 631 Li Ce, Steady as a Rock
Frequent harassment and attacks by the ratmen will increase the number of troop mobilizations, greatly increasing the risk of exposing the nest's location.
With the help of the pterosaur riders' all-round aerial search, they quickly locked onto the location of the ratmen's lair.
Judging from the situation, this should be the last nest of the ratmen.
After receiving the latest feedback, Sharp Claws realized that his lair was most likely exposed. Surprisingly, he did not get furious, but instead fell into an unprecedented silence.
In the past, he had thought that their fight and slaughter with the Lizardmen would go on endlessly.
He also thought that he could display his divine power, destroy the Lizardmen in this generation, and become a legend that could be engraved in the history of the Ratmen.
But I never thought that this day would come.
This is not Claw's fault. After all, in the past few years, because the power left by the Dragon God Ceylon here has been declining, the Lizardmen under its influence have been on a downward spiral.
This has also made the Rat People's posture gradually stronger in the confrontations over the years.
Driven by this general trend, all the rat people believed that it was only a matter of time before they would wipe out the lizard people.
However, they did not expect that the reality was completely beyond their imagination.
Lying paralyzed in his own lair, his claws now had completely lost their former arrogance and brutality. His entire body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and he lay there like a pile of mud, with a hint of despair in his eyes.
This final fight has not yet started, but he already knows the result in his heart.
Or should he simply abandon his last lair and continue to flee south? This idea was not something that Sharp Claw had not thought about. If they continued to flee south, they would escape into the territory of the Corrupted Clan.
In the past, as the chief of the Claw Clan and with a huge tide of rats at his disposal, he didn't need to be afraid of those guys at all.
Even when the Corrupted Clan was fighting for the position of clan leader, he took direct action and rescued Jikum, who had failed in the fight and should have been executed by the new clan leader to establish his authority. He made him work for him, thereby enhancing the strength of their Claw Clan and thus increasing their chances of destroying the Lizardmen.
At that time, their Sharp Claw Clan was very powerful, and the leader of the Corrupt Clan had just come to power and had not yet secured his position, so naturally they did not dare to challenge him.
But now the situation has changed.
The Ratman understood the Ratman's nature best. Now that he had lost power, he had only a group of defeated soldiers under his command. If they fell into the hands of the Corrupted Clan, their lives would probably be worse than slavery...
[It’s better to die! ]
As the patriarch of the Claw clan, his dignity does not allow him to endure such humiliation. Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Claw's eyes.
"Gather the rats and fight the lizardmen to the death!"
After the order was given, the ratmen led by Claw no longer hid, and quickly gathered into a rat tide, pouring out of their underground nests.
The pterosaur rider flying in the air sent a signal to them immediately.
After receiving the signal, Li Ce still maintained his pace, as steady as a rock.
In Li Ce's opinion, in the current situation, as long as he does not reveal any flaws, the opposing rat people will have no chance of winning.
The troops of both sides continued to approach each other, and soon, the surging tide of rats came into their sight.
At the same time, looking at the surging tide of rats, the lizardmen soldiers clenched their weapons in their hands, but stood still like a mountain.
Now they have already been convinced of Li Ce. The orders in the Great Zhou army have always been as strict as a mountain. Without orders, they will never move even if the enemy has rushed to them.
During this period, Li Ce observed the situation and seized the opportunity.
"Spear formation, meet the attack!"
"kill!!!"
Following an order, deafening shouts of killing erupted from the mouths of the lizardmen soldiers.
With uniform steps, the spearmen advanced step by step. In front of their crystal iron spears, the bodies of the ratmen were as fragile as thin paper. The rat tide that was so fierce the moment before, seemed to have hit a piece of iron plate the next moment, and there was a tendency for them to collapse.
You know, as the Claws kept abandoning their nests and gathering their troops to retreat, their internal food supply became a big problem, and many hungry rats even resorted to cannibalism.
This is not a rare thing among the rat people, but it has caused them a lot of trouble.
And the entire rat society gradually collapsed in this process, and problems from all aspects continued to erupt.
The true victory or defeat had already been decided in the great battle on the border, and after that it was just a matter of struggling to survive.
The rat swarm gathering before us seemed to be of considerable size, and they could still fight even against a large army of lizardmen.
But in fact, this rat tide is just like a handful of sand squeezed out by hand. There is no need for wind to blow. It will disperse by itself after a few steps.
After one round of attack, the rat tide was defeated in an instant before the cavalry on both wings entered the battlefield.
Looking at the retreating tide of rats, Li Ce was not surprised at all and quickly gave orders.
"The cavalry on both wings will remain still for now. Let the outer green lizard short spearmen launch 'Sprint' to launch an outflanking attack!"
Since then, Zhou Xu has made many upgrades to the Lizardmen's military projects. As one of the few usable military types that can be strengthened, the Green Lizard Spearmen are undoubtedly Zhou Xu's main focus.
After upgrading the Green Lizard Spearman's item to level three, the Green Lizard Spearman's troop enhancement item 'Sprint' was successfully unlocked.
This is a skill that needs to be actively triggered. To put it simply, it is equivalent to the exclusive mantra that can be used by Green Lizard Spearmen.
After activation, it consumes strength and can increase the movement speed of the Green Lizard Spearman in a short period of time.
The acquisition of this mantra ability can be said to have greatly enhanced the tactical value of the Green Lizard Spearmen. It can be almost perfectly applied to a series of tactics that require mobility, such as outflanking, intercepting, chasing and pulling, etc., bringing a certain degree of qualitative change to the entire type of troops.
When the "Sprint" was activated, the green lizard spearmen's short legs swung as if there was wind under their feet, and they ran very fast.
As infantry, the Green Lizard Spearmen had an advantage in leg speed when facing the Ratman infantry. Now they could run even faster with the 'Sprint' function, and combined with their spear attacks, they not only caused damage to the Ratman troops, but also quickly formed an encirclement and launched a siege on the Ratman.
During this process, Li Ce had been observing the movements of the rat man.
If the ratmen make any new moves, he still has the velociraptors on both wings in his hands. With their cavalry-level mobility, they can "fill in the gaps" at any time.
Only after confirming that the situation was settled and the Ratman were powerless did Li Ce order the two wings of the Speed Dragon Cavalry to move out and speed up the elimination of the remaining Ratman forces! (End of this chapter)
