After venting his impotent and furious roar, the Rat King finally regained his composure, controlled the plague mist, absorbed it back into his body, and restored his usual majesty.
He hurried out of the hall where he was and headed for the war conference room.
In the combat meeting room, the Ratman Royal Think Tank and high-ranking Ratman military officers had been waiting for a long time.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The guard at the door opened the door and shouted inside.
When the Rat King came in, everyone was busy studying the battlefield situation and analyzing strategic deployments. The conference room was in chaos, filled with quarrels and insults.
Seeing the emperor's arrival, the conference room suddenly became quiet, and all the rat people looked at the emperor and saluted him.
"No need to salute. Let's talk about the current situation. How should we solve the current trouble?" The Rat King waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up without saluting. He hurriedly walked to the center and sat down, then asked the rats present.
"Your Majesty, I think we should contact the Holy Temple and let it solve this trouble and force the undead to retreat." An old ratman stepped forward and said tremblingly.
"Don't worry about the Holy Temple. They are useless. This emperor has already contacted them. They failed to stop the undead. Let's talk about something else." The Rat King waved his hand and said bluntly.
"We can consider withdrawing a part of the troops from the Troll Battlefield and the Harpy Battlefield respectively and deploy them to the battlefield against the Undead. As long as we can stop the enemy for a while and hold out until the outcome of the Troll Battlefield is decided, we will have enough ability to deal with the Undead." A middle-aged ratman officer said confidently.
"You know nothing! We absolutely cannot withdraw the legions from those two battlefields. They are our graveyards. Once we withdraw the legions, it means we will be unable to quickly resolve the trouble on the Troll battlefield. Moreover, the Harpies may use their flight advantage to break through our defenses and directly attack the capital. What will we do then?"
Before the Rat King could speak, the people in the think tank started shouting and cursing.
"Hehe, this won't work, and that won't work either. Your think tank is so powerful, why don't you give us a solution?" The middle-aged ratman officer didn't tolerate the people in the ratman think tank, and asked with a sneer.
"Okay, I asked you to discuss how to deal with the Undead Legion, not to quarrel with each other!" The Rat King's face turned black as he stopped the meaningless quarrel between the two sides.
It's already this late, the Undead are attacking, and you still have the mind to make a fuss. It's really inappropriate for the occasion!
Faced with the anger of the Rat King, both sides tacitly stopped fighting and all looked at the King, waiting for his decision.
The Rat King pinched his whiskers, thought for a moment, and said, "The troops in the Troll Battlefield and the Harpy Battlefield cannot move."
"Our men have already achieved rich results in the Troll Battlefield. We cannot abandon those gains at this moment. That would be disrespectful to the fallen men, chill the hearts of the warriors, and might also allow the trolls to regain their strength."
"As for the Harpies, the think tank is right. We can't relax. Those Harpies have advantages that we don't have. They move too fast. If we withdraw the troops on the battlefield, they may succeed in breaking through."
"Issue an order to mobilize the legions of each city-state to reinforce the Undead battlefield. Prioritize the city-states under attack by the Undead to hold back the Undead!"
The emperor gave the order while thinking.
"The emperor is wise!" The ratman think tank shouted.
In their opinion, this is the best solution at present.
The Ratman think tank thought so, but the Ratman officers did not think so.
They have always been at odds with think tanks, believing them to be a bunch of trash who are only good at talking big but have no battlefield experience.
The real battlefield is far more difficult than the think tank imagined.
"Your Majesty, even if we withdraw troops, we will not be able to stop the Undead Legion. We can't withdraw all the legions from each city-state. The city-state will not allow us to do so." Immediately, a legion stood up and raised questions.
As an officer who had worked his way up from the bottom, he had a deep understanding of the legions in various city-states.
The city-state legions have become corrupt. In order to deal with the Troll Battlefield and the Harpy Battlefield, almost all the elite legions from each city-state have been withdrawn.
The remaining legions, apart from those who are paid without working wages, the old and weak, have low combat effectiveness, and are composed of the second generation of officials and businessmen who come here to gild their reputations.
These legions are unable to go to the battlefield and have almost no combat effectiveness.
To be honest, for the officers who are familiar with the Skaven Legion below, after the opening of the Troll Battlefield and the Harpy Battlefield, there are almost no corps available in the various city-states in the Skaven territory.
Even if a group of legions were forcibly dispatched, they would be sending themselves to death and would be unable to stop the undead attack.
In addition, the emperor must ultimately obtain the opinions of all city-states.
The ratmen are a city-state system. To put it bluntly, the capital, Buirada, is the strongest and largest of all the ratmen city-states, so all other city-states obey it.
But if the city-state really wants to completely sacrifice its own interests to fulfill the city-state of Builada, that is impossible.
The ratman city-state is a relatively independent existence.
During the Troll Battlefield, it was promised that after conquering the Trolls, huge benefits would be given to each city-state, which is why the elite legions and high-end weapons in each city-state were mobilized.
During the Harpy Battlefield, it was to protect the Ratman territory. The lips and teeth are interdependent, and the Ratman territory is relatively safe. The Emperor also talked for a long time before allowing the various city-states to send troops.
