On a patch of green land.
Kana and the others were advancing.
Looking at the information in the channel, Kana nodded with satisfaction.
Because from the information in the channel, it could be seen that the mainline war of the large force on the other side was already beginning to gain advantage.
They were quickly encircling, dividing, and annihilating the rat troops using the advantage brought by the Night Watcher.
And they were also swiftly passing through the rodents' encirclement using the advantage brought by the map.
After all, this was the prairie.
And they were an elite small team, with a total of just over 100 people.
"According to the map's location, we are about to reach Twin Serpent City."
Miguel West said while looking at the map in the channel.
Their mission this time was to rescue Twin Serpent City from the rodents' siege using this elite unit.
"There are rats ahead, let's go around them."
By scouting with the dispersed Night Watchers, they had a clear grasp of the surrounding enemies.
Thus, Artuka followed Kana and others, weaving between the various rodent reconnaissance teams.
Forcibly breaking through the encirclement.
The giant wolf he was riding kept issuing warnings, seeing them as if they were walking back and forth in a rat nest.
"Don't worry, we have enough confidence to get through their encirclement."
A nearby Night Watcher said confidently.
For such an elite unit to break through the encirclement, or to enter a heavily guarded area in such a manner by squad was quite normal.
They were gradually getting used to it.
Soon, they reached the border of the prairie. After passing through a dense forest, they arrived at a cliff.
Looking down from the cliff, they could see a city below and a wide, ceaselessly flowing river.
From the cliff, one couldn't see the opposite shore of the river.
Kana stood on the cliff, shaking his hand, taking out some alchemy components from the space waist bag.
Then blood intertwined with the components, forming one blood-colored small bird after another.
Flapping metallic wings, they flew toward the city below like arrows, piercing the air.
Soon, the scene below the city was projected before everyone through the reconnaissance of the alchemical birds.
Though the sound couldn't be heard, the picture clearly showed that on the walls of Twin Serpent City, the snake-man city defense troops were repeatedly fighting against the rodents.
However, the rodents didn't seem to attack the city through a human wave tactic, but kept sending rats for harassment, keeping the snakes busy.
Though the number of rodents continued to wear down, these numbers were entirely acceptable to the rodents, whereas the snakes would occasionally get injured or even killed.
Through such means, they were slowly wearing down the defending troops.
"It seems the defending troops aren't many, yet there are plenty of rodents around. Why don't they just use their numerical advantage or tunnels to directly take over the city?"
Bobo looked at the situation, somewhat puzzled.
On their way, they did find quite a few cities that were occupied and destroyed by rodents, falling victim to such tactics.
Hearing Porter's question, Artuka explained, "The City Lord of Twin Serpent City is a pair of twins, this is Red Snake City. The one managing this city is the younger twin sister, she is a powerful mage."
Artuka thought perhaps it was due to this powerful mage that the rodents' attacks could be resisted.
Kana pondered briefly and explained, "Red Snake—Ashley, is said to be an apprentice of one of the six mages in the Mage United Council.
Did you notice the Mage Tower in the city? It's that one."
Everyone looked over, indeed they could clearly see a cylindrical high tower in the city below at the center, with a sculpture of a coiling snake on top.
"Perhaps by utilizing the Mage Tower, some sort of magical capability to protect the city was constructed, which is why a small army could resist the rat siege."
Everyone had a brief conversation and understanding of the situation, then they descended the mountain from the side.
This part could no longer be passed through the previous method, since the area around the city was nearly filled with rats' troops.
Apparently, they intended to completely besiege the city, even having their derelict warships on the river.
To enter the city, the only option was a forceful raid.
This was not something difficult for Kana and the others.
Kana thought for a moment.
Decided to lead from the front.
The [Frost Lord] behind him floated in front of him.
"Humans? Ahhh! Humans behind!"
A rat first noticed them.
But by then, Kana and the others were already approaching the city walls.
"Take them out!"
"Suicidal humans!"
The rats shouted.
Turning directly to surround Kana and the group.
Instantly, numerous rats charged like in a battle on the plains, like a tide.
Evidently, they had numbers, but chose a slow depletion strategy when attacking this city.
Seeing the tide of rats before him, Kana gripped the hilt, the blade unsheathed.
A flash of cold light.
The surrounding temperature instantly plummeted, dew on the grass directly frost-frozen.
A cold wind gusted forward.
"So cold!"
"Ahh! I can't move!"
"My…"
The rats squeaked incessantly.
But the cold wind did not stop blowing, the low temperature and the power of frost instantly froze the rats in front, then rapidly spread outward.
Those low-level rats, having only numbers, had no ability to resist, not even the time to react.
Layer by layer froze over, when the rats behind realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
Instantly, a multitude of ice sculptures appeared before them.
Kana sheathed the blade back into its scabbard.
At the moment of sheathing.
The sculptures exploded, turning into a wintry spray of frosty snow.
The Night Watchers following Kana looked left and right, advancing towards the city walls.
Kana's strike instantly cleared all the rats around the section of city wall they faced cleanly.
The mass freezing of rats just now rendered the approaching reinforcements from afar frozen in fear, not daring to move an inch.
Because those frozen rats were shattered right before their eyes, in just a moment crumbling into fragments.
This scene imposed tremendous psychological pressure on the rats, even the commanders among them dared not shout the slogans to advance.
And the guards on the wall seemed to have noticed the unusual reinforcements.
Though they didn't open the city gates, just as they were about to lower the retractable basket.
Kana and his group already climbed over the walls.
The leaders of the besieging rats silently watched from afar.
"Is that the Enemy of God? Why come here?"
