Chapter 330: Cannon Carriages Go to Battle
"Hurry, hurry, climb up the city wall!"
"Don't dilly-dally. Anyone who retreats will die!"
"Don't tell me who you are, or who's young master you are. Here, there are only brave warriors of the ratmen. The undead won't care about your identities!"
"Grab your weapons and prepare for battle!"
In the ratman city-state of Tekel, on the city wall, the ratman commanders and ratman warlords roared at the top of their lungs, pushing the ratman soldiers who were too timid to climb the city wall to form a defense.
Half a month has passed since the Undead declared war on the Ratmen, broke through the border between the Ratmen and the Undead, and started an all-out war.
The Undead are advancing rapidly, pushing down city-states and heading deep into the ratman territory. They have already completely conquered three city-states.
Three city-states are not three cities.
City-states and cities are different. City-states, also known as "city-states", refer to countries centered on independent, autonomous, separate towns or cities!
In other words, each ratman city-state is equivalent to a small country of the ratman tribe.
This is why the city-states will not obey the orders of the Rat King, because they are independent.
In a sense, the various city-states of the Ratman Tribe are in alliance, and together they form the large group of the Ratman Tribe. The Ratman King is equivalent to the most powerful one in the city-state, and is the "leader" elected by all the city-states.
The rat-man city-states not only have cities, but also villages, farmlands, and unique customs and habits.
City-states often use city walls to enclose land, and the area enclosed by the walls is the territory owned by the city-state.
The Undead conquered three city-states, which was equivalent to conquering three countries, except that the countries were relatively small and did not have such a large territory.
The undead advanced rapidly all the way and encountered almost no strong resistance. After taking over three city-states, they finally reached Tekel, the city-state known as the "Ratman Fortress".
Tekel is an ancient rat-man city-state, one of the earliest city-states established after the rat-men came to the central area.
The original Tekel city-state was only a small area, with one city and four villages of vassal races. Other arable land was transformed into fields for planting and grazing to provide food for the people living in the city-state.
During the period when the ratmen had not yet gained a foothold in the central area, the city-state had to consider not how to develop the army and war technology, but defense!
They had to resist invasions from other races and ensure that the city-state would not fall easily.
The ruler of the city-state of Tekel at that time was a down-to-earth man. He did not have any big ambitions. For him, survival was probably more important than anything else, so the policy of the ruler at that time was "build high walls and store up grain."
All research and development, all available resources, were piled on the city walls.
Combined with the arable land in the city-state, Tekel successfully became one of the surviving ancient city-states.
The later rulers of Tekel continued the style of the original rulers and worked hard on defense.
Even when it comes to war technology, they focus on defense.
The philosophy of rulers of all generations is basically the same, that is, "before launching an attack, at least ensure that you will not die easily."
After many years of development, the original area of the Tekel city-state was no longer sufficient. They began to expand outward, constantly building new city walls and applying their most advanced technology and magic to the city walls to defend against possible enemies.
Even among the ratmen, Terkel is a well-known "turtle" city-state and is known as the "ratman fortress".
This was clearly a mockery from the ratmen, but when the undead invaded, Terkel became the hope to stop the undead.
The mighty Undead Army slowly approached from a distance, and the ratmen soldiers who climbed onto the wall facing the Undead Army were shaking in their legs.
They moved their fingers, constantly relaxing and tightening their grip on the weapons in their hands, looking with horror at the densely packed undead army that was approaching like a swarm of ants.
Even though they had weapons in their hands and even though they were standing on city walls that had been reinforced countless times, they still couldn't hide the uneasiness in their hearts.
They are not elite, and are not even as good as ordinary ratmen warriors.
They were just a group of old and weak people, a group of old soldiers, a group of people who had never thought about going to the battlefield.
They can show off their power in front of ratmen civilians and slaves, but when facing the terrifying undead, they perform even worse than ordinary people.
The rat soldiers standing in front could already see the undead army clearly, and could see those strange-looking soul-born insects and armored beetle people.
In the sky, there were several inconspicuous floating objects, suspended high in the sky, overlooking the city-state of Tekel.
That is the eye of the dead.
The reason why the Undead were able to win victory after victory and easily conquer the three rat-man city-states including Ilmaha was due to the Eye of the Undead.
Through the Eyes of the Undead, Li Ziyu and the undead can know each other's deployment in real time, taking advantage of the information gap, just like cheating.
The importance of information in war is self-evident.
I know, but you don't. Even if you have better weapons, you will still suffer a great loss.
"This city-state is not easy to deal with."
Through the eyes of the undead, Li Ziyu looked down at the city-state of Tekel and muttered to himself.
Seen from the sky, the city-state of Tekel located in the wilderness looks like five circular rings stacked together from small to large. In the empty spaces, there are irregular longitudinal walls connecting the circular walls, dividing the city into independent spaces of different sizes, just like isolation chambers.
