Chapter 451 Rat Tide (extra update for 600 monthly tickets accumulated)
The Lizardmen have one more enemy. As their mortal enemy, Jikum must be happy, but this does not mean that he will continue to attack regardless of the consequences after hearing the news.
The fundamental purpose of all these actions is to put the interests of the rat people first.
Considering this point, he didn't mind the Lizardmen transferring troops over and using more forces to deal with the enemy, thereby reducing the pressure on their side.
At this moment, our forces undoubtedly have their own plans regarding this battle.
During this period, the Lizardmen were stuck in the middle, being the party attacked by both forces. Their situation was undoubtedly the worst.
No matter what choice they make, they will have to bear huge risks, but they have to make a choice quickly. After all, according to the current situation, they no longer have the capital to waste! "Leader! Leader! The soldiers we sent out to scout have discovered that some of the Lizardmen troops are secretly evacuating the front line!"
The confidant rat man who told the news had an excitement in his voice that could not be concealed.
On the other hand, after a flash of excitement in Jikum's eyes, he quickly returned to his original calm.
"Don't worry, let them go for a few more days."
The ratmen are not brainless fools, they have always been a cunning group.
Under Jikum's command, the entire rat group hibernated for another five days. Five days later, in the middle of the night, the rat tide broke out completely. A large number of slave ratmen quickly rushed to the front-line camp of the lizardmen under the cover of night.
Alarms sounded in the Lizardman camp when they discovered the enemy attack. A large number of Lizardman infantry poured out of the camp to fight back, waving their weapons and mercilessly slaughtering the countless slave ratmen before them.
As it stands now, those slave ratmen are no match for the Lizardmen and are being killed one after another by them.
However, there was no trace of joy on the faces of these lizardmen.
Having fought against the ratmen for many years, they knew that this was just the beginning.
Those they were killing now belonged to the lowest class of slaves among the rat people, commonly known as slave rat people.
The number of slave ratmen like this basically accounts for about 70% of the entire ratman population.
Those ordinary ratmen and the ratmen in power do not care about the lives of these slaves. Whenever a war breaks out, they will let these slave ratmen form a rat tide and launch a suicidal attack.
The root cause is that the ratmen are a particularly fertile race, but it is precisely because they are too fertile that under normal circumstances they cannot afford food for the entire tribe.
In order to reduce the food pressure of the entire ethnic group, they would immediately initiate a war whenever the population was too large. While letting the slave rats suppress their mortal enemies, the Lizardmen, through a suicidal rat tide, they would also relieve their internal food pressure by sending the slave rats to their deaths.
From the perspective of the rat people, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But on the other hand, from the perspective of the lizard people, this suicidal style of fighting is undoubtedly terrifying.
Although these slave ratmen were very weak due to not having food for a long time, resulting in poor fighting capacity, their numbers were too large. In their opinion, they seemed to be endless.
Every time we go to war with the ratmen, it all depends on willpower until the end.
And now, this battle of willpower has just begun.
Standing in the rear of his own position, looking at the surging tide of rats in the distance, although Jikum looked very calm on the surface, he was actually very excited on the inside.
The two tribes have been fighting for too many years. Over the years, both sides have won and lost, but neither side has been able to completely defeat the other and kill the other side.
This time, it was probably the most likely opportunity for the Rat People to completely defeat the Lizard People in the past hundred years!
When Jikum thought of such an opportunity falling into his hands, even his breathing became a little faster unconsciously.
If he could accomplish this, his status in the rat tribe would surely rise, and he would be able to get the position of tribe leader!
When he thought of this, Jikum almost laughed out loud.
Of course, he also knew that now was not the time to be happy. Their rat tide tactics were typical attrition tactics, and attrition wars were the most time-consuming.
In the past, Jikum never worried about the battle lasting too long, but now he started to worry.
After all, the longer the time, the greater the variables.
Thinking of this, Jikum couldn't help but order his subordinates to blow the horn, signaling the rat tide to speed up the attack.
With the sound of the horn, the rat tide surged even more violently, with wave after wave of rats constantly rushing towards the Lizardmen's camp.
These slave rats who have gathered into a rat tide are so active, but it is not for the sake of their tribe.
The rat people have never been a group with a spirit of dedication, especially when their own group has already told them to die.
The reason why the slave rats show such enthusiasm is essentially for food.
When they pounce on a lizardman, they will immediately start to eat the opponent's flesh and blood. In just a blink of an eye, they can gnaw a lizardman until only bones are left!
This is nothing to the slave rats.
You know, when they are extremely hungry, as long as their fellow tribesmen show a flaw, they will not hesitate to eat them up completely! This is the rat people!
The intensified offensive of the rat tide caused the opposing Lizardmen's position to appear to be on the verge of collapse.
Seeing this scene, Jikum became even more excited, and it also made him urge the attack even more.
However, after two or three times, looking at the Lizardman defense line that was still struggling to hold on, Jikum gradually realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, a horn sounded suddenly from the flank of the battlefield, causing Jikum's heart to skip a beat.
He quickly turned his head and saw that at this moment, a large group of dragoons had rushed out from the flank of the battlefield, aiming directly at the ratman position where he was.
Seeing this scene, Jikum's expression suddenly changed.
"Those damn stinky lizards!!!"
At this point, Jikum had undoubtedly realized that the lizardmen had not really left the front line. The other party's action of quietly leaving the front line was deliberately performed for them to see! Among the ratmen, the rat tide can be used for both offense and defense.
And now, because of Jikum's repeated urging, the tide of rats in his hands has advanced in an all-round way and all pressed outside the Lizardmen's position.
What does this mean? This means that the position he is in has lost the protection of the rat tide! (End of this chapter)
