……

Hunter: [Retreat. 】

Skeleton Undead: […]

Black Warrior: [Got it. 】

[Observation report: The enemy is not very powerful. The skeletal undead holding Thorn No. 1 can cause effective damage to the enemy. After being attacked by the Thorns, the enemy's vitality will be significantly weakened until death. The enemy has long-range firepower, but it cannot penetrate our armor. The enemy will spray flames at us from a distance, and the flames can be extinguished. After observation, the smoke caused by the flames will cause an effective attack on the enemy, causing the enemy's life breath to weaken quickly... The results show that if the opponent's long-range firepower can be eliminated, they will There will be nothing to fear. 】

The news was constantly being transmitted in the soul network. Li Ziyu's mouth twitched as he watched it. He could feel that the black warriors on the front line were a little irritable.

Just like the information he collected, the rat people really relied on remote control to survive.

Sigh... It's no longer at the scene. It's impossible to know what happened at the scene just by relying on the news in the soul network.

However, it seems that the opponent's attack on the undead is not sharp enough.

There were only a few undead on the front line, but they were able to withstand it. They even managed to hold on with just the skeletal undead No. 1 holding thorns in their hands. Black Warrior and the others didn't move.

Well, that being the case, it’s time to establish the first fixed undead stronghold in the central zone!

Undead, move forward!

As early as when the temporary stronghold was first established, Li Ziyu deployed a large number of undead troops on the border.

After he gave the order, the undead stepped forward, walked out of the dead land, and stepped onto the land in the central zone.

Two full armies of two hundred thousand undead legions equipped with hand crossbows and thorns, commanded by skeleton warriors.

In addition to the regular skeleton warriors, these two legions are also equipped with two hundred roving knights who serve as scouts, two thousand skeleton spitters type 1, two hundred spirit artillerymen, and four hundred throwers type 2.

Behind the skeleton army, there was a battle order formation, including three thousand skeleton short archers, two thousand skeleton long archers, ten thousand elite heavy hammer skeleton warriors, and one hundred skeleton knights.

Li Ziyu didn't dare to send too many at once. He was afraid of irritating the rat people and launching an all-out war.

We have to gradually encroach on it, not be aggressive.

He sent more than 200,000 undead, but the skeleton undead were all novices. Even if they were large in number, they died quickly and should not trigger a full-scale counterattack by the rat men.

Of course, if the Rat Man cannot defeat more than 200,000 undead, then it is not that the Rat Man will not launch a full-scale attack, but that Li Ziyu will launch a full-scale attack.

Li Ziyu used the skeletal undead to lay out a long battle line. He wanted to give the rat people an illusion, making them feel that the undead really came from the wasteland and the dead land, instead of being sent here by Li Ziyu specifically.

"insidious"

The undead landed in the central area of ​​the wasteland on such a large scale, and the villages near the landing point immediately panicked.

Are you kidding me, so many undead? !

However, what happened next was not what they imagined.

These undead souls who came out of the dead land of the wasteland are walking forward silently. Only when they attack the undead souls will the undead souls show their power.

Several villages that attacked the undead did not end well, and were killed by the undead.

Those villages that did not try to attack the undead and defended themselves were unscathed. The undead just passed by their villages silently, with no intention of attacking at all.

This made the village realize that the undead don't seem to kill everyone. As long as you don't go and mess with the undead, they won't bother to care about you.

And the undead seemed to be rushing somewhere.

The news was quickly sent to Illamaha.

"That loser hasn't gotten rid of the previous undead, and yet so many more have come?"

"There must be tens of thousands of them. No, no, no, let me see..."

The city lord of the upper city of Illamaha rummaged quickly on his long table, found several pieces of animal skin paper, and compared them with the numbers on them.

"My ancestors, these are hundreds of thousands of undead!"

"How come there are so many!"

"Is it possible that there is a lair of the undead in the wasteland of death?!"

After calculating the approximate number of undead, the face of the city lord of Illamaha's upper city changed.

This time it is not as simple as whether the undead have come to the central zone, but the undead are attacking the central zone.

What makes him uncomfortable is that the city closest to the undead is the city-state of Illamaha.

Although it is stated in the report that the undead are not powerful, the numbers are there after all!

To eliminate so many undead, a team of at least tens of thousands of people would be needed.

The rat city-state is half above ground and half underground. The above ground is basically a trading city. Most of the cities are merchants or people of other races.

There are not many troops in the above-ground cities, and the focus is on maintaining stability.

The real rat people all live underground, and the underground city is their real home!

A large number of undead have entered the territory. This matter can no longer be handled by the underground city. It must be reported to the underground city.

"Ha, let those guys below have a headache!"

The city lord of the upper city of Ilmaha said pretending not to care, but the cold sweat on his forehead proved that his heart was not that peaceful.

He still doesn't know where the undead came from. Did they come to the central area after being captured by the undead in other areas of the wasteland? Or did they originally live in the dead land of the wasteland and only appeared this time? He didn't know any of this.

Another question is why do the undead come?

For so many years, since the rise of the Skaven, the undead have been a legend. Legends passed down from generation to generation, no one has ever actually seen the undead.

If they have always existed, why didn't they come before, but now.

How on earth could so many undead be hidden?

One question after another appeared in the city lord's mind, but there was no answer.

What he can do is to find ways to suppress the news and stabilize the upper city of Illamaha so that the underground city will not panic and continue to operate smoothly.

The question of whether he could defeat the undead was simply not within the city lord's thinking.

The rat people are powerful. Countless battles and competitions with various powerful tribes have made the rat people full of confidence in any hostile force. They are not afraid of anyone!

Just when the information about the undead was sent to Illamaha, the army of the undead was rushing towards the temporary gathering place on the front line.

As a frontline commander, the second generation naturally got the news, but he did not pay attention to the undead. In his opinion, there were so many vassal races, and he also had the proud long-range troops of the rat people, so the undead were naturally There is nothing to fear.

However, when he saw a long black shadow on the horizon from a distance, swaying forward and gradually revealing a skeleton, he became afraid.

The densely packed skeletons and the suffocating aura of death were far beyond what a second generation like him could bear.

More than two hundred thousand undead, rubbing shoulders and swaying forward, they are not afraid of pain and do not care about death, as if nothing can stop them.

The second generation had never seen so many undead, such as an army of hundreds of thousands. He had only heard of it, but had never seen it with his own eyes. This time he saw it. Unfortunately, it was not an army of rat men, but an army of undead.

There are more than 10,000 auxiliary warriors left, as well as the rat troops he brought from the upper city of Illamaha, to resist the army of more than 200,000 undead?

What's going on? !

The second-generation commander suddenly realized that this battle was no longer something he, a little mouse, could fight.

He was not pretentious and decisively issued the retreat order. He was the first to escape, and his escape was so clean.

The commander ran away, and the others would not stay where they were. The Rat Corps ran with the commander.

When the more than 10,000 affiliated soldiers saw that the Rat Man Corps had run away, they immediately dispersed and fled without a trace.

When the undead army arrived, they saw a messy battlefield and the black warriors who had cleaned the battlefield and were calmly waiting for them.

The two sides merged into one place and instantly occupied the surrounding area.

News of the arrival of the undead was spread to the city lord's palace in the Illamaha underground city.

The underground city is the territory of the rat people. There are almost no foreigners here. If foreigners want to enter here, they need to go through layers of reviews and obtain dual permissions from the aboveground city and the underground city before they can enter.

Most of the time, the only foreigners who can enter the underground city, apart from the envoys of other races, are those with powerful hands and eyes that can reach the sky.

knock knock knock.

"Come in." The lord of the underground city raised his head and said after hearing the knock on the door.

The door of the office opened, and the rat-man assistant came to him with a roll of animal skin paper, saluted, and handed the animal skin roll over.

"Your Majesty the City Lord, this is an urgent document sent from the aboveground city district."

The city lord took the animal skin scroll with a serious face, unfolded it, and read it carefully.

The rat people attach great importance to the above-ground city. After all, the upper city will provide food and wealth for the underground city. These will stabilize the lives of the rat people nobles in the underground city and provide research and development funds for the scientific research institute.

If there is trouble in the above-ground city, there will be no problems in the underground city for a short time, but if it takes a little longer, there will be trouble.

It’s not like the rat city-state has never had this kind of problem.

One year there was a severe drought, which reduced food production in the above-ground urban areas and also hit businesses.

The materials in the above-ground city could not be supplied to the underground city in time, and the rat nobles in the underground city had long been accustomed to a high standard of living. However, it was not the rat nobles who started the chaos, but the rat people in the institute.

The ratmen in the institute may not be high-ranking, but their social status among the ratmen even exceeds that of the ratmen nobles.

Once there is a problem with their experimental materials and capital chain, these research madmen don't care whether you are a city lord or a noble, they will go crazy.

No one knows what kind of ghosts are inside the Scientific Research Institute. The unlucky city-state was almost destroyed because of the lunatics of the Scientific Research Institute.

That incident made the Skaven realize the importance of the above-ground city.

From then on, the underground city will also take matters in the above-ground city seriously.

The city lord of the above-ground city of Ilmaha is a capable rat man. He has always taken good care of the above-ground city and supplied supplies in a timely manner. In the underground city, not only the nobles praised the city lord, but also the scientific research The lunatics in the courtyard were also very satisfied with the city lord.

There is even news that this is the next city lord of the underground city.

But now the praised city lord actually sent an urgent document, indicating that there was really a problem. It was the kind of problem that the above-ground city could not solve, and the city lord in the underground city could not tolerate not paying attention to it.

The animal skin paper was specially written in small characters, detailing the journey of the undead. There was a red pen mark at the back, indicating that the undead army had logged in. The city lord of the above-ground city speculated that the opponent's destination was the new gathering point.

"Undead?"

After reading the emergency documents carefully, the underground city leader frowned.

He had the same doubts as the city lord on the ground, why the undead suddenly appeared.

The rise of the Ratmen was accompanied by war. He had read a lot of historical materials about the Ratmen and knew that during the rise of the Ratmen, they had faced off against too many races, and it was through the corpses of each race that they climbed to their current position.

I have fought so many wars and seen so many races, including legendary races, but this is really the first time for the undead race.

In his memory, the last battle with the undead in the history of the rat people could no longer be verified. It was too long ago, and even in the vast history of the rat people, there were only a few sentences.

It is not even certain whether the undead race exists.

As soon as he thought about it, he thought of something, grabbed a piece of animal skin paper, quickly wrote a few questions, handed the animal skin paper to the assistant, "Send it up and give it to the Lord of the City, and ask him to reply to me immediately." Accurate news!"

"Yes!"

The assistant took the animal skin paper and left in a hurry, while the Lower City Lord also stood up and left the office, rushing to the big library.

Regardless of whether it was what he guessed, he had to go to the big library to find information about the undead and determine how to deal with the undead.

Every Ratman city-state has a large library, and most of the books in it are the history of the Ratmen.

Documents about Ratman technology will not be stored in the Big Library, but in the Research Institute. Those lunatics cannot trust the Big Library. Firstly, they feel that the Big Library cannot protect their own documents; secondly, Afraid that someone would sneak into the Great Library and steal their rat-man research successes.

The Scientific Research Institute has its own independent documentation system, and every once in a while, it will transport documents from various city-states to the Ratman capital through secret channels.

What the Lower City Lord needs is to first look for clues of the undead from history.
