Chapter 53, Old City of Enlightenment
Amid the roar, the rats gathered under a tall battle flag, and in the chaotic sound, they charged towards the huge city in front of them.
Thick wood was simply built into a high platform, and the rat war stood on the platform lifted by many young rats with difficulty, waving the god's battle flag in one hand and the spear of divine punishment in the other.
Sharp shouts!
"For the gods!"
The rats below responded enthusiastically.
"For the gods!"
"Praise the gods!"
"The gods are the most powerful! Kill them! Kill them!"
There were noisy calls from the huge rat group, and they roared and charged towards the city in front of them.
But today's battle was not so easy, because the rat army had found the second largest city of the lizardmen.
The city that was originally planned to be built as the capital, although it was no longer in status because of the discovery of the hatching pool, but the city that had once spent a lot of resources and had been half built was perfected.
There is no doubt that this is a city that transcends time and is also the second largest city of the Lizardmen. The swamp was flattened and solidified into rock by divine magic, and the tall city walls were formed in one piece, connecting with the swamp.
Densely packed watchtowers extend from outside the city to the top of the city wall.
Even with such a tall city, the Lizardmen still seemed so unprepared when facing the approaching army of the Ratmen.
The desperate Rat War rushed too fast after abandoning the logistics replenishment, and it rushed here almost in a short time.
The Lizardmen were held back by the Snakemen and the Dog-headed Men, and they were simply unable to effectively stop the Ratmen army in the wetlands. They could only let Rat War advance rapidly all the way and arrive here after sweeping a large number of small settlements and cities.
The Lizardmen named this tall and solid city the Old Enlightenment City, which means the city that once carried the revelation of God.
And today, Rat War is going to lead the Ratmen army to charge towards the Old Enlightenment City in front of them.
The lizardmen could no longer retreat, because behind the Old Enlightenment City was their true Enlightenment City, their God-blessed land, their hatching pool.
Everything was in a hurry, but fortunately, the lizardmen finally completed their integration.
A large number of young lizardmen were taken out of the city by female lizardmen. The leader Huo, who had red scales, climbed the city wall, and the snakemen carrying short bows and spears disappeared in the outpost.
Among them, the most conspicuous were naturally the tall lizardmen warriors holding war clubs and wooden shields.
At the same time, a large number of troops were rushing to their positions in a chaotic manner.
There was a bit of chaos in the city.
Because this army was originally the vanguard that Huo had rushed to after hastily completing the integration.
Huo was already very fast, but Shu Zhan was even faster. When Huo just arrived at the Old Enlightenment City, Shu Zhan also arrived.
Most of the lizardmen troops who arrived in a hurry did not even adjust to the situation, and the ratmen were already roaring in.
The dense ratmen immediately flooded the dense watchtowers outside the city, and then directly crashed into the city wall.
At this time, the scarlet light lit up, and the ratmen priests took action, and a large area of madness was directly thrown at the vanguard of the ratmen army.
In this way, the ratmen would not panic and want to flee the battlefield because of the fear that would come later.
Facing this tall city wall, the ratmen naturally had no particularly good way.
But fortunately, the ratmen army led by Shu Zhan still had a huge number.
It could also withstand losses.
That was the simplest way.
Use the number of people to pile up!
Under the waving battle flag, driven by the ratmen warlords and the supervisory team, the ratmen army gave up any formation and just rushed forward frantically until they crashed into the tall city wall, and then stopped.
But at this time, the only ones who stopped were the ratmen in the front row who were inflicted with the frenzy effect. They waved their wooden spears wildly, doing useless work on the city wall in front of them.
But the ratmen behind them did not stop. Under the pressure of the supervisors, they could only climb onto the head of the ratman in the front, and then when they were afraid and wanted to escape, the priests gave them a frenzy spell, and they waved their weapons wildly.
In this way, layer after layer of ratmen piled up.
More and more weight was imposed on the ratmen who served as stepping stones, until the desire for survival overcame the frenzy imposed by the frenzy spell.
But it was too late at this time. In the layers of stacking, there was no room for these ratmen who served as stepping stones to struggle. Even the screams of fear were drowned in the layers of ratmen, and not a single bit of it could be emitted.
In this way, in a very short time, a rammed siege rat slope appeared.
The rats rushed up the Rat Slope and directly crashed into the city defenders who were still in a bit of confusion.
In this rush, the lizardman warrior was the first to react and fought with the ratmen warriors who climbed the city wall, and even pushed the ratmen back to the siege rat slope.
Caught off guard, but not losing the wind, such a performance is quite good.
But the snakemen and dog-headed men mixed on the city wall did not perform so well.
The melee ability of the snakemen is not as strong as that of the lizardmen, and it is easy to be killed on the spot by the senior ratmen warriors who rushed up the city wall.
There was no time to draw the short bow in their hands.
Then these senior ratmen warriors who killed the snakemen were able to free their hands.
The scattered lizardmen warriors faced attacks from all directions. Soon, these brave lizardmen warriors had to retreat after many of them were killed.
The ratmen rushed up.
Of course, these snakemen were not the biggest surprise. The biggest surprise was the dog-headed men who had just climbed the city wall with wooden sticks.
This group of dog-headed men were unlucky enough to collide with the rats who were climbing the city walls, and most of them were killed. When the subsequent lizard warriors arrived and rescued this group of dog-headed men, their number was no longer half of what it was at the beginning. However, even so, when these dog-headed men who were stunned by the charge came to their senses from their panic, the terrifying fireballs began to flicker on the battlefield. These dog-headed wizards also have the ability to cast spells, and unlike the rat-headed priests who specialize in berserk magic, the spells they master are real offensive spells. Fist-sized fireballs were launched one by one amid the angry howls of these dog-headed wizards. They directly blew up the rats who climbed the city walls. The precarious situation was reversed a lot. In just a moment, more rats surged up again, and soon, they were about to fill up all the standing spaces on this section of the city wall.
