Chapter 80: Border of Cardero Province—During the Battle of Lumen Nanshan

On the earthen wall of Lumen Nanshan Fortress, Weilin was fully armed and stood under the military flag with his sword in hand, within the sight of all soldiers and officers.

The busy soldiers looked in the direction of the military flag from time to time, feeling at ease in their hearts.

"attack."

The giant rat-man Tucker roared, and the rat-man soldiers behind him automatically retreated tens of meters.

The ten rat plague priests behind the giant rat man picked up the plague war drums and began to beat them regularly.

Affected by the sound of the drums, thousands of goblins and kobolds had bloodshot eyes, their limb bones were mutated, spikes sprouted, and their backs bulged. A stench swept through the entire battlefield, and all the surrounding trees withered.

After a while, the drum sound suddenly changed, and thousands of plague sources charged towards the Lumen Nanshan Fortress.

"The Rat Man's plague source is only active for three hours. If it survives, it will be a victory."

"Now, wrap up your exposed skin and prepare for battle."

Officers at all levels issued orders in an orderly manner, and the soldiers followed the orders one by one. They took out clean cloth strips from the gaps in their inner armor and wrapped their hands, feet, mouth and nose, leaving only their eyes outside.

"Archers, shoot your arrows."

On the city wall, hundreds of archers first fired three rounds of volleys at the source of the plague, and then started shooting freely, shooting out all the arrows in their hands in the shortest possible time.

Hundreds of the kobold plague bodies running at the front were shot and killed, but this still did not slow down the pace of the plague bodies.

"Soldiers come forward and prepare to meet the enemy."

The archers retreated, and the soldiers with knives and guns stepped forward, staring closely at the approaching source of plague below.

The shrill and harsh sounds resounded throughout the fortress, constantly testing the soldiers' mental endurance.

"Puch"

The plague bodies that climbed up the city wall were eliminated one by one, and the stinky juice carrying the plague virus covered the entire earth wall, corroding the gravel mixed in it.

As time went on, soldiers continued to miss and were torn off the city wall and torn into pieces.

Weilin stood on the general platform, watching everything happening on the city wall, his face expressionless, and his heart a little turbulent.

As the spiritual pillar of the army, he cannot show any expression on the battlefield.

"Kill, the master is watching us."

"In half an hour, these monsters will lose their activity, hold on."

Soldiers were constantly being scratched, but they were quickly carried down and given diluted water of life to treat their injuries and remove the plague virus.

As the war came to an end, thousands of still-active plague bodies stopped moving in an instant, lying limply on the ground, quickly corrupting into a puddle of liquid.

Although the source of the plague has all been inactivated, the soldiers guarding the city still dare not relax at all. The real monster army has not yet begun to attack.

"Master, the war is over."

The giant rat man Tucker carefully glanced at the half-dragon next to him, and humbly reported to the rat wizard Tattersall.

"Retract the troops and wait to take over this fortress tomorrow." The rat wizard stopped meditating and ordered the giant rat man.

"Yes, my master."

Under the puzzled eyes of the defense forces, the monster army began to withdraw in an orderly manner.

"Lord, why is this?" Kyle on the side asked with some confusion.

"Things are not that simple. Let all soldiers have a good rest and take potions to avoid the spread of the plague."

"Yes."

After Kyle left, Verin looked at the monster army disappearing from sight, his face a little solemn.

When there are ratmen, be careful about poisoning.

This is a slang word widely circulated among the nobility of this world.

Subsequently, Weilin ordered that no groundwater was allowed to be consumed, which caused an uproar in the army for a while, and was later suppressed by officers at all levels.

At night, in the monster camp, the rat wizard sat beside the fire and entertained two half-dragons enthusiastically.

"Tattersall, if you can't take this castle tomorrow, you know the consequences." A half-dragon stared at the rat wizard and warned.

"I know, I know, just go and accept the earthen fort tomorrow." The rat wizard said with a smile on his face, confidently.

"Huh, conspiracy, rat people are indeed a despicable and dirty race." The other half-dragon said with disdain.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Facing the half-dragon's ridicule, the rat wizard could only respond in a low voice.

Others have a half-dragon clan leader and a legendary red dragon to back them up, but he is just a ratman with no background.

If he hadn't had the profession of wizard, he would have been thrown into the fiercest battlefield as a cannon fodder army commander.

Late at night, in the Lumen Nanshan Castle, a large number of soldiers were thirsty, extremely dehydrated, and kept licking their lips.

Looking at the mouth of the well guarded by knights and attendants, and the officers constantly patrolling the camp, many soldiers gave up their thoughts of grabbing water. They were puzzled as to why the people above would issue such an order.

Early the next morning, it started to rain lightly. The hungry and thirsty soldiers took off their helmets and pointed their mouths to the sky to enjoy the gift from heaven.

Looking at the drizzle outside the window, Weilin licked his chapped lips and smiled. God was really helping him.

Yesterday he was not sure whether the groundwater was contaminated and banned everyone from drinking it.

He knew a little about the methods of the rat men, so he had to do this.

After gnawing on the dry black bread, the soldiers guarding the city stood ready to prevent the monster from suddenly attacking.

"Everyone is hiding behind the walls and is not allowed to show their heads, waiting for orders."

"Tucker, take people to take over the castle. Those humans must be dead." The rat wizard said with confidence, "Don't destroy the human corpses, they are resources for my promotion."

"Yes, mice understand."

The giant rat-man Tucker led the rat-man army and headed towards the city wall in a swagger.

"Sir, I seemed to have seen a human figure just now?" A rat soldier wiped his eyes and said in disbelief.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tucker, the giant rat man, slapped him, causing the rat soldier to spin in circles and then fall directly to the ground.

"The master said that these humans must die, then they must die."

When the other rat soldiers heard this, they shut their mouths and did not dare to say another word.

When the group of rat men approached the earth wall for more than 200 meters, more than 500 archers stood up, nocked their bows and fired arrows.

"shoot."

Seeing the sudden bow and arrow, the giant rat man grabbed two rat soldiers on the spot to use as shields, and ran towards the rear in a hurry.

The other rat soldiers followed suit and retreated one after another.

The monster left behind more than six hundred rat-man corpses and retreated in dejection.

"Tattersall, this is what you said, take over the castle." A half-dragon asked in a deep voice, holding a sword.

"Impossible. It's impossible for them not to replenish the water supply after the war. They must have fallen into the trap." The rat wizard shook his head and said.
