Before ascending to God, be a good lord

As the two suns gradually set, a large amount of green smoke rose from both inside and outside the forest. This was because both sides were cooking fires and preparing for the offensive and defensive battle in the evening.

The rabbit-man Rebecca's gray crow and the canine's peregrine falcon took off at the same time, and together with several observation runes, they watched the movements of the rats.

The black-scaled horses that had rested for a long time were gathered together, and the barbarian priests and the flame priests worked together to apply the blessings of the barbarian gods and the fire to these raging groups.

In the basement of the auxiliary fort, the captains of each team that were about to set out gathered with Ned Land in front of the map and held a pre-operation preparation meeting as usual. They would decide on the number of Chasseur Cavalry regiments to dispatch based on the scale and distribution direction of the rat men.

Before today, a total of 8 hunting cavalry teams and 20 Frostwolf Knight teams were stationed in and around Xingba Castle, each team consisting of 5 people.

For each team of 20-man hunting cavalry, the captain will be equipped with a junior black scale horse, and there are at least 10 black scale horses and 9-10 other breeds of horses in the team.

Before the rats enter the forest every evening, 10 teams of hunting cavalry enter the tunnels of Xingba Castle and go in different directions to deal with the rats.

After nightfall, the remaining 10 teams of Chasseurs will serve as reserves and continue to invest according to the intensity of the fighting in all directions.

Finally, in the morning, before the battle was about to end, the Frostwolf Knights entered the battlefield to cut off the rear of the Chasseurs.

However, this afternoon, Yeqi City sent new reinforcements: Neil brought 50 knight students from Galloping Horse Academy to replace the cavalry injured in the previous battle.In addition to them, 70 cavalrymen arrived at the castle with 50 pack animals and 20 ankylosaurs.

Of course, before these hundred and ten grass-eating beasts arrived, the magic pattern tiger and Tierney had already arrived.

So now in the command room, the three knights that Lant admires most: Dogtooth, Neal and Tierney are already here.

"Our combat operations these days are somewhat similar, but every day is different."

Facing the re-marked map, Nedland introduced the magic pattern tiger, Neil and Tierney, "Although the rats will enter the forest after dark, their main force will only go deep into the forest after early morning. The forest is more than 200 meters away, so our fights were concentrated there.”

"Wait a minute," the magic pattern tiger suddenly interrupted the knight's introduction, "do you mean that in the past few days, you have never walked out of the forest to fight?"

"Forehead……"

Netherland also came back to his senses. As the leader of the barbarian cavalry, he should have led these barbarians out of the siege of the rat camp, maneuvering and harassing the enemy's rear, but now he had to fight against the rat army. Fight.

"This cannot be done by the Knights of Netherland."

At this time, Vianis suddenly stood up, "If we don't keep enough troops in the forest, or even enough black-scaled horses, those rats will eat up the entire forest!"

"Well, I don't mean to blame him," Tiger's voice was very lazy, "but now you don't have to tie your hands and feet. We have a special team responsible for cleaning up the group of rats that entered the forest. You can rush out. "

Ned Land glanced at Neil, got a look of approval, and led his men out of the command room. Before actually getting on the horse to fight, they had to check the ordnance, kettles, rations, and check the magic patterns on the junior black scale horses. etc.

"Why not let those high-ranking people stay and lead the hunting cavalry to fight?" When there was no one in the command room, Canine Ya could finally ask the question he had been asking, "Even if a high-ranking mage is in charge, most of them can be reduced." casualties."

The last time Lant withdrew the high-ranking troops, he only gave a very general reason. Both Hounds and Netherlands were confused. Now that the casualties of the Chasseurs are becoming more and more serious, Hounds feel that they can no longer continue. Endured it.Tierney said: "If there is a high-level knight from the imperial capital, in order to balance his influence, you will also need to appoint Gu Leiya, Wendy or Agni and Tutapara."

"Not only that, the God of Forest Cats has reached an agreement with Lant..." The Magic Pattern Tiger shook his head leisurely.

"What?" The three knights were shocked in unison.

"Now the war south of Hindukel has become a war between the rat tribe and the barbarian tribe. As long as the high-ranking humans do not leave the forest, neither the forest cats nor the scorched wolves will interfere between the two tribes. war between."

"This is the day you arrived at Inumori Castle..." Ned Land guessed it at once.

"Yes, it was at that time that the gods of the two local tribes reached an agreement," Big Cat nodded. "The Jiaolang Tribe was unable to maintain its original territory and gave a large area of ​​mines to the Rat Tribe. The gods were somewhat dissatisfied with their actions. satisfy."

No one dared to question the gods in the mouth of the magic pattern tiger, but there were still some things they couldn't figure out: "But, even if we clean up all the rats..."

"The entire Hindu Ker has been under the control of the dog and cat tribes for thousands of years. No matter which tribe rules it, the overall situation of division and rule has never changed for thousands of years. Now it's just that Jiao Lang himself is not ruling well. , actually let a group of rats enter the doghouse." The tone of the magic pattern tiger was a little more gloating, "The rats can eat the mines, and they can squeeze the entire dog race out of the Hindukel. This is something that the beast god cannot tolerate. matter"

Everyone finally understood, "So that's it..."

The magic pattern tiger nodded: "This is also the reason why Rant evacuated the high-level people. The Beast God reached a clear agreement with him. As long as the high-level human race does not move near Inusen, the will of the Beast God will not come here. "

Tiger looked at the few knights and said faintly, "Robbing the human slaves with the orcs and grabbing the territory from the beast god are completely different things. Naturally, Lant had no intention of marching to Jindu Ker, so he is naturally happy with such an agreement."

"But even if Lin Mao and Jiao Lang's Warcraft Gods don't interfere, the Rat Clan still has a Warcraft God? What if the Rat God appears? How will we deal with it?"

"Hehe..." Tiger smiled and said nothing.

……

At the edge of the large forest, the grassland that had turned yellow in autumn has now lost all vegetation and turned into densely packed caves of various sizes stretching for more than ten kilometers from west to east.

Thousands of rat men, hundreds of junior demon rats, and 70 intermediate demon rats gathered in a large open space south of the cave. In the center of this large group of rats, surrounded by a high-level demon rat, they first slowly After gathering, we continued heading south towards the forest.

As the rats moved forward, rats continued to dig underground, burrowing into the forest.

After entering the forest for more than 50 meters, the entire rat group suddenly dispersed. Except for the high-level magic rats wandering around the edge of the forest to command, the other magic rats, with two intermediate magic rats as the core, dispersed into 20-30 small teams, constantly searching the forest. All life in it.

As the little mice dispersed, the high-level demon rats and their personal guards: about 10 intermediate demon rats and nearly a hundred people finally stopped under a big tree.

"Zhi~zhizhi"

Under the order of the big mouse, several intermediate magic rats began to dig hard, and finally dug a passage about 1 meter in diameter.
