Chapter 1129: The Rat People’s Evolution

Of course, even if the important military cities of the past had been razed to the ground by the Holy Light and its flames…

The city walls that had been rebuilt on the ruined walls were still filled with dense, metalized mandrake branches that looked like rows of deadly blades.

For the Great Horn Army that lacked siege weapons, it was not an easy task to cross the mountains of blades and take over Hundred Blade City.

Hence, the rebel army that surrounded Hundred Blade City did not receive the order to attack the city at all costs.

Instead, they tried their best to act in a grand manner to make the defending troops in Hundred Blade City feel the pressure and call for help.

As the saying went, “if you attack, it will be saved.”

That was the rule of war on Earth and in the Other World.

The Wolf Clan had already suffered several humiliating defeats in the battle to encircle the Great Horn Army.

They knew that the possibility of Hundred Blade City falling was not high, but they could not just stand by and watch.

Just the fact that Hundred Blade city was besieged was enough to make the wolves, tigers, and leopards, who had ruled over the blue lands for thousands of years, lose their prestige and face.

At that time, the Lion and Tiger Clans, who had a delicate relations.h.i.+p with the Wolf Clan, would have an excuse to attack and weaken the Wolf Clan.

Thus, the Wolf Clan would definitely send reinforcements night after night.

As long as they dared to come, the White Bone Battalion, which had already set up an inescapable net around Hundred Blade City, would naturally make these wolves realize even more the power of the rat tide.

Of course, it was not an easy task to make the defending troops in Hundred Blade City light up the signal for help.

Hundred Blade City was not like those small border cities that were empty.

There were enough weapons and mandrake fruits stored there.

Although the garrison troops were not all elite warriors in totem armor, they were still well-trained adult warriors.

Asking them to light up the flare and ask for help from the outside world because the rat tide was attacking the city…

It was equivalent to completely trampling on their dignity and beliefs.

In order to force them to go that far, the rat people’s rebel army launched a valiant attack on Hundred Blade City for three consecutive days.

Under the demonic sounds of the priests and the soul-destroying war drums, tens of thousands of rat people were like earth-shattering waves, rus.h.i.+ng toward Hundred Blade City wave after wave.

Then, they were stabbed by the countless sharp blades on the city wall until they were riddled with holes and even shattered. Only then did they retreat in a b.l.o.o.d.y mess.

Although the rat subjects did not attack in any way, they just rushed toward Hundred Blade City in a chaotic manner.

However, the shocking number of rat subjects around Hundred Blade City replayed the tragedy in the great extermination order era three thousand years ago.

Meng Chao and Ice Storm were also involved.

They were like two insignificant waves in a bloodthirsty tide.

Their goal was to make themselves a little more eye-catching, but not too eye-catching.

Of course, it would be great if they could force Hundred Blade City to release their flares as soon as possible and save the lives of a large number of civilian rats.

Therefore, they could not rush at the forefront to seize the key generals.

Instead, they had to carefully choose the most suitable “meat s.h.i.+eld” and let that “meat s.h.i.+eld” s.h.i.+ne so that they could hide their energy.

At this moment, the guy who was rus.h.i.+ng in front of them was more than five arms tall. He was waving two door boards that looked like axes with horns, and he had a long nose on his face. He was a mix of a barbarian elephant man and a Minotaur, hence he was the most solid “meat s.h.i.+eld.”

The rat warrior named Iron Head was only kicked out of the family because of some internal conflict during his father’s generation. He was reduced from a n.o.ble warrior to a lowly rat person.

Perhaps because he was born with his father’s resentment and hatred, Iron Head had been born with rough skin and thick flesh. His face was full of muscles, and his arms were full of brute strength. He was even more tyrannical than many n.o.ble children.

It was said that because his strength was too great and he did not know how to control it, no one was willing to wrestle playfully with him.

Whenever he was bored, he could only be alone and use the mandrake tree as a wrestling prop. He did not even need to use his hands and feet. He could just use his head that was as thick as steel to break the mandrake trees that had the circ.u.mference of a hug.

Unfortunately, in the era of prosperity that was a pool of stagnant water, it was extremely difficult for rat people like him, who had brute strength but lacked inheritance and resources, to stand out.

The rise of the Great Horn Army gave Iron Head hope.

The divine revelation in the dream and the divine medicine that the Rat G.o.d had given to the rat people caused the ferocity hidden in the depths of his bloodline to erupt like a volcano.

He was one of the few monsters who had consumed five divine medicines and burned his life five times, yet he was still alive and kicking, full of vigor.

The last time he consumed the divine herbs, Iron Head had gone berserk and even forcefully smashed through a city wall.

Such tyrannical combat strength made Iron Head famous, and he fell under Meng Chao’s radar.

From then on, Meng Chao, along with Ice Storm, consciously moved closer to Iron Head during their fierce battles. Without anyone noticing, he had helped Iron Head dodge countless open spears and hidden arrows. He had even delivered the battle merits that were within his grasp right under his nose.

Soon, news that Iron Head had won the favor of the Rat G.o.d and was able to turn misfortune into luck and survive a desperate situation had spread among the rat people.

As a result, when this round of attacks arrived and this boorish man, who was waving two large axes, rushed forward without thinking, hundreds of rat people trusted him a lot. They jumped out of the trenches and followed closely behind, forming a forward-charging storm.

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

A rain of arrows came at them as usual.

Meng Chao and Ice Storm narrowed their eyes and quickly calculated the trajectory of each arrow and the route for Iron Head’s a.s.sault team.

Moreover, by stomping heavily on the ground, they could change the shape of the piles of corpses nearby and guide Iron Head, as well as the other rat subjects, so that they could dodge the arrows as much as possible without changing the a.s.sault team’s formation.

After the two of them subtly and silently guided the arrows, only few rat subjects screamed and fell to the ground following the arrows’ impact.

The other rat subjects were unharmed. Before the second wave of arrows arrived, they jumped into the trench filled with corpses.

Iron Head was the biggest and most eye-catching. There had originally been three or four arrows aimed at his face and chest.

However, at the critical moment, Meng Chao gently flicked out a small stone and accurately hit Iron Head’s Achilles tendon, causing his feet to go soft. Then, he fell into the trench like a gourd rolling on the ground.

The trench was supposed to be part of Hundred Blade City’s defensive fortifications.

The trench was as deep as five arms, and the bottom was filled with extremely sharp mandrake branches.

The mandrake branches were also smeared with venom from the Dark Moon Clan, which could block a person’s throat with blood.

However, no matter how insidious the trap was, it could not stop the Great Horn Army from outnumbering them.

Tens of thousands of rat soldiers used the cruelest and simplest method to fill up the trench with their flesh and blood. They even built a low wall in front of the trench.

It was just enough to help their successors block the arrows from the city tower. They could take a breather in the trench and recover their strength before launching a full-speed in the next round.

Iron Head, who had fallen into the trench, did not understand what had just happened.

Even he himself could clearly feel the pain of the murderous arrow that was about to pierce through his brain and heart.

Yet, he somehow managed to dodge the fatal blow.

He used his huge but not very useful brain to think seriously for a moment.

Iron Head’s eyes instantly widened.

‘Is -Is it the Rat G.o.d’s blessing that has made me invulnerable to weapons?’

The extremely excited Iron Head jumped out of the trench again. He thumped his chest heavily and rushed toward the area where the arrows were densest.

Meng Chao and Ice Storm looked at each other.

Alright, “well-developed limbs but simple-minded” was also their standard for selecting “meat s.h.i.+elds.”

Only such a boorish man would not realize that he was already at Meng Chao and Ice Storm’s mercy!

After five rounds of full-speed sprinting, Meng Chao and Ice Storm helped Iron Head dash through a total of five trenches.

It was the farthest they had dashed so far.

Hundred Blade City was full of sharp blades. The glittering city wall was already within their reach.

As for the rat soldiers who followed them, they had lost less than 30% of their numbers.

It was not only because of Meng Chao and Ice Storm, but that was not a concern.

More importantly, the rat soldiers themselves were evolving at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and scanned the rat soldiers who were blocking the arrows and jumping into the trenches with extremely skilled movements.

Most of them were well-built with resolute expressions, and they moved like experienced fighters.

Even if they were pierced by arrows, they could still grit their teeth and endure it. Only when they jumped into the ditch did they take out their battle sabers, cut off the arrow shaft, and pour out the medicinal powder to stop the bleeding and detoxify the poison. The whole process was completed in one go, and they were very familiar with it.

Although they were completely different from a few days ago when they had just joined the battle to besiege Hundred Blade City…

Compared with the rat people whom Meng Chao had seen in Black-corner City two months ago, who were either panicking, dumbstruck, or running around aimlessly like headless flies… They were more like two different species.

War was indeed the most powerful force to promote evolution.

There was no genetic difference between the rat people and clan warriors.

It was only because of the education they had received since they were young, the resources they received, and the missions they shouldered that they were gradually divided into two completely different cla.s.ses.

Today, the flames of war that had spread to the entire Picturesque Orchid Lake had gradually smoothed out the differences that could be seen with the naked eye.

The changes that had happened to the rat soldiers reminded Meng Chao of the scenes in the ancient war. He had read about them from the core of the monster mastermind in the depths of the Hidden Mist Domain on Monster Mountain Range.

The horde of ancient beasts that were born and controlled by the mother was like the rat soldiers before him. Through the cruel selection of a large number of deaths, they were evolving at a shocking speed.

In the end, the primitive and weak carbon-based creatures devoured all traces of civilization that the Ancients had built on the surface of the Other World.

If the Great Horn Army was not destroyed, what would they evolve into in a brand-new future?

Such a thought suddenly appeared in Meng Chao’s mind.

“The walls of Hundred Blade City are right in front of us. Let’s Charge! The Big-horned Rat G.o.d must be in the sky. Let’s see who will be the first to charge up the city wall!” Iron Head roared.

He did not even have time to pull out an arrow from his arm.. He charged forth like a whirlwind.
