Chapter 523: Chapter 430, Ratmen Legion_3
Many people were discussing the fight.
Some said that these Demon Rats were not hard to deal with, while others were seeking help.
They were using resources as bargaining chips, asking nearby lords to aid them.
Fang Hao was looking closely at the situation.
A raging roar suddenly came from outside the Lord’s Mansion.
Following that was the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground.
Fang Hao, sitting on his throne, was suddenly taken aback. Could someone have invaded his territory?
Without thinking, Fang Hao drew out his Thunder Sword from his storage space.
And ran towards the door.
He saw two Nisbits who were guarding the door already engaged in battle with the demon rats.
On the open ground in front of the Lord’s Mansion, there were several round holes.
From inside these holes, the Ratmen were continuously rushing out to join the battle.
“Master.” Eira also ran out from her room, her face pale.
Fang Hao instructed, “Stay back.”
“Okay.” Eira turned to run back inside.
Fang Hao turned his attention back to what was happening outside.
“Underground Runners (Tier 3)”.
This species of Demon Rat, amongst the Ratmen faction, plays the role of an engineer.
They can quickly dig tunnels, providing concealed routes for the Ratmen.
With the tunnel finished, the Ratmen Legion could use this concealed route to reach their target city directly.
And initiate a decapitation strike.
Although these Demon Rats were a part of the system’s mission, they nonetheless displayed intelligence no lesser than that of humans.
If it were not for the transmigrators preparing in advance, denying the Demon Rats time to organize and command their forces,
The transmigrators wouldn’t have any advantages, and the likelihood of failing the mission would exponentially increase.
More and more Demon Rats streamed into the city via the tunnels.
Their only target was the Lord’s Mansion, the heart of the city they were aiming to capture.
The Nisbits held off the first wave of Demon Rats.
The city’s defensive soldiers also rushed in from all sides.
After surrounding the Lord’s Mansion, they started to slaughter the invading Demon Rats.
The number of soldiers in the city could not compete with the vast numbers outside.
However, those defending the city were undead warriors equipped with the Temple Guard’s Set, which included high-tier units like the Skeleton Mantism and Nisbit.
The Demon Rat death toll rose swiftly.
Soon enough, the invading Demon Rats were largely exterminated.
Fang Hao immediately instructed his soldiers to throw explosives into the holes.
With several muffled explosions, the tunnels the Ratmen had dug were blasted apart.
However, this had merely destroyed the existing tunnels. If the Ratmen still had Underground Runners, they would continue to dig more.
Fang Hao immediately gathered the guards in front of the Lord’s Mansion, with a new plan to tighten the defence.
“Eira,” Fang Hao called.
“Master.” Eira came running back out from her room.
“Get all the maids together. We’ll be sleeping in the Lord’s Mansion tonight,” Fang Hao instructed.
“As you wish, Master.” Eira answered and ran off to the area where the maids lived.
Meanwhile, Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords and sent messages to Dong Jiayue and Kong Yong.
He warned them to be aware of the tunnel-digging Demon Rats.
To prevent them from being taken by surprise.
After finishing his instructions to them, Fang Hao posted a snapshot of the tunnel-digging Demon Rats in the area’s chat, warning everyone taking up the mission to watch out for the Demon Rats and their decapitation strikes.
“Damn, they can target our leaders? These rats have evolved,”
“I’m glad I didn’t accept this task. A lot of people are going to die tonight,”
“Damn it, I was wondering why those Ratmen seemed so relaxed, they were digging tunnels. Thanks for the heads up,”
“Thanks for the warning, Lord Fang Hao,”
The crowd spoke at will.
Fang Hao did not have time to reply to them. He closed the Book of Lords and saw Eira approaching with all the maids.
