Lords of All: The Moving Castle of the Dead

Ratman Legion Camp.

The old nobles of the rat people must pay attention to the aristocratic manner at all times, even on the battlefield, they must still pay attention to it.

The commander-in-chief is an old nobleman. He likes complex and exquisite patterns, bright gems, expensive wood, and enjoyment.

Even when he was away on war, he never changed his true colors.

Others lived in tents, but he lived in a palace.

The main material of the palace is expensive wood, on which the best carvers of the rat people were invited to carve reliefs, and magicians and shamans were invited to draw specially beautified defensive runes.

The biggest feature of the palace is that it can be split. Using the special technology of the Rat Man, it can be split into several independent parts, which can be pulled around with only a beast cart.

After unfolding, the palace has an area of ​​hundreds of square meters, five independent bedrooms, three halls, bathrooms, toilets, dining rooms, etc. There is a lot of everything, and everything is expensive.

At the long table in the restaurant, the old commander-in-chief and several senior officers and assistants were eating a sumptuous dinner.

A guard hurried in and whispered softly in the old commander's ear.

The old commander put down his knife and fork and listened carefully.

"Well, okay." After hearing this, the old commander smiled and nodded to the guard, indicating that he could go out.

The guard saluted and left in a hurry.

The senior officers and assistants put down their knives and forks one after another and looked at the old commander.

"The good news is that the undead clan has sent cavalry, and they seem to want to take advantage of the night to raid us." After saying this, the old commander shrugged, with an old naughty smile on his face, "But they underestimated our bravery. warriors, our warriors ambushed them, killed more than a thousand knights, and drove them away."

Everyone present laughed softly, this is indeed good news.

The old commander seemed to simply want to tell them the news. After speaking, he picked up the knife and fork on the table and continued eating without any intention of commenting.

His serious-looking assistant had a light flashing in his eyes.

I knew that the old commander would not be so simple and unprepared. He defeated the temptation of the undead without making a sound. It was indeed the old commander.

……

The failure of the Skeleton Knight served as a reminder to Li Ziyu.

He couldn't underestimate the rat people. They had developed in this world for who knows how long before they became a powerful clan.

The result of ignoring any enemy may be your own life.

The Ratmen are not that simple. They must be hiding something, and these things can affect the battlefield.

Just like today, Li Ziyu didn't understand why the Skeleton Knight failed to discover the ambushing Rat Man.

He had never seen anything like this.

The soul power of the Skeleton Knight is much more powerful than that of ordinary undead. Even they cannot detect it, so other undead cannot find it even more.

If the opponent uses this method to lurk around the legion and launch an attack, it will be a devastating blow.

Li Ziyu must find out what is going on.

If you don’t understand, just ask and check the forum!

There are many posts about ratmen in the forum, of all types, mostly battle report types.

Li Ziyu quickly read the post as if reading a novel. He also asked Liu Xingxing and Zhang Peng to help and search together.

I kept scrolling until late at night, when a battle report caught Li Ziyu's attention.

It was about a conflict between the time traveler lord and a tribe of rat men. It was a pretty normal battle report.

As for the strength of both sides, the strength of the time traveler lords was far greater than that of the rat tribe, and the time traveler warriors were even stronger.

Logically speaking, this is a battle without any suspense. The time traveler does not need to worry about anything at all. He can easily defeat the rat tribe by pushing all the way.

However, the fact is that the time traveler lost.

When he sent his troops towards the Skaven tribe, he found that there were very few resisters.

Just when the time traveler thought that the rat men were letting the young rat men escape, a rat man warrior suddenly appeared from his side and behind.

Facing the sudden attack of the rat men, the time traveler panicked and issued several wrong orders in succession, resulting in the failure of the battle.

The person who wrote this battle report obviously noticed the sudden appearance of the rat men. He added a paragraph at the end of the battle report. He went to check the information and then came back to supplement it.

[After careful searching, checking the information, and even sneaking into the rat tribe tribe to steal their books, I finally discovered the clues. Among the natural abilities of the rat people, in addition to being extremely immune to plague, viruses, poisons, etc., and being good at digging holes underground to build cities, they also have many special talents, such as ambush. 】

[Ambush is a very special racial talent that allows the Rat Man to hide around the enemy without being discovered, thus delivering a fatal blow to the enemy at a critical moment. It is worth mentioning that the rat people rarely use this talent. They consciously make people forget this talent. These treacherous rat people have a very bad conscience. 】

ambush……

Li Ziyu began to look for clues about the ambush, and indeed found some posts about the ambush, but they were all similar to the previous battle report posts.

It didn't say how to break the ambush, it just introduced the ambush.

This is a headache.

The Ratmen's ambush talent is quite difficult to solve. Even the undead cannot find them through the breath of life.

Just outrageous.

Not scientific.

But when you think about this being a different world, you don't have to worry about whether it's scientific or not.

When the ambush skill is used well, it is a magical skill.

But it seems that the Ratmen don't use ambush very often.

Otherwise, as mentioned in the post, the Rat Man is hiding this talent.

Otherwise, there are some restrictions on this skill, making it inconvenient to use it casually.

Li Ziyu prefers the latter.

Hiding talents and skills is somewhat unjustifiable.

After all, the skill of ambush is too powerful. If this skill could be used casually, what would the Ratmen have to fear? All the people would be assassins and that would be it.

But the fact is that not all ratmen are assassins. They mainly rely on long-range firepower.

After Li Ziyu came to the central area, it was not that he had no conflicts with the rat men, but he had never seen the rat men use ambush skills.

From this, Li Ziyu felt that because the ambush skill was very restrictive and difficult to use, Ratmen rarely used this skill and could only develop other directions, such as long-range firepower.

It didn’t work before, but now?

When dealing with others, Li Ziyu doesn't care whether they use him or not, but when dealing with him, if the other party uses an ambush, he will definitely suffer a big loss.

What Li Ziyu wants to figure out most now is what kind of skill Ambush is.

Is it a magic skill?

Illusion?

Or what?

What conditions are needed to trigger the ambush effect.

Li Ziyu didn't know any of this.

This battle doesn't seem to be that easy to fight.

Li Ziyu sighed in his heart.

"Boss, have you seen that post?" Zhang Peng came over to ask Haqie.

"Which post?" Li Ziyu came back from her thoughts and looked at Zhang Peng and asked.

"Oh, I found a post. It was a battle report. It said that the Rat Man has an innate skill called ambush, which allows him to avoid detection." Zhang Peng said briefly.

"That post you are talking about, I saw it, and I am still looking for information about ambush, but there is not much information about the ambush skill in the forum." Li Ziyu rubbed his temples and said with a headache.

"Boss, this is what I think. Now that we know that the rat people have such a skill, it is enough. Their skill should not have much impact on us. We should not spend too much energy on this skill." Zhang Peng said.

"Huh? Peng, I don't agree with what you said. Ambush is an extremely powerful skill, a skill that can change the situation of the battle. If the opponent hides a team, it is not a big problem for us, but if the opponent hides cannons, throws stones If a weapon like a car suddenly appears on the battlefield, we will suffer a big loss." Li Ziyu shook his head. He felt that Zhang Peng had been in contact with the battlefield too few times, otherwise he would not have said such a thing.

"No, I don't think so. Even if they hide the cannon, what can they do? How many of us can they kill?" Zhang Peng asked.

Such a question made Li Ziyu stunned. He looked at Zhang Peng in confusion and said, "Go on."

"If our number is two, three, or even five times that of the rat men, the opponent's method of hiding weapons and troops will be very effective and can turn the tide of the war."

"But now, there are only five to six million rat-men on the opposite side, and we, the insect-men alone, have tens of millions. We are not three to five times the number of the other side, but dozens of times the number of the other side."

"Faced with absolute numerical superiority, what kind of weapons do they need to have to change the battlefield?"

"If the Skaven really had such weapons, why would they use an ambush to hide them? Wouldn't it be better to fight us head-on?"

Zhang Peng analyzed and said, shrugging his shoulders and saying, "I feel like we are thinking wrongly. We don't need to think so much at all. We can just press forward and see how the rat people solve it."

"Damn it, Peng, you're right." The words woke up the dreamer, and Li Ziyu suddenly became enlightened and realized.

Yes.

If the gap is not outrageous, using the ambush skill is indeed effective.

But in the face of a dozens of times difference in numbers, what can be changed with ambush skills?

Even if he hides area-of-effect weapons such as cannons, as long as they are exposed, he can still send out highly mobile troops to destroy them.

He could fully bear the damage caused by those cannons.

For other races, due to morale reasons, once a range-type destructive weapon such as a cannon appears, killing a group of soldiers in a short period of time will make other people in the army fearful, thus lowering morale and leading to a rout.

But this trick is useless against the undead!

There is no such thing as morale among the undead. The only function of artillery against the undead is to kill casualties on a large scale. It is impossible for the undead to actively retreat and cause a rout.

Zhang Peng reminded Li Ziyu and asked him to get out of his thinking trap.

As long as he killed and injured a bunch of cannon fodder and let the bugs rush forward, the battle would basically be over.

I am thinking nonsense here, what nonsense is this?

Of course, if the entire army pressed forward, it would inevitably lead to a large number of insect-men losses, but Li Ziyu felt that instead of worrying about the ambush skills that he didn't know how to solve, it would be better to lose a group of insect-men. At the worst, he would go to the grassland to purchase goods.

After thinking about this, Li Ziyu instantly felt relaxed.

I, the undead, am upright and relying on my solid numerical base, I will crush you without any tricks!

The war between the undead and the ratmen finally broke out. The two sides fought on the flat wasteland in the southwest of the city-state of Tucker.

The Ratmen will fight with 600,000 troops against tens of millions of undead.

This is destined to be an unfair battle.

The Ratmen used their elite troops, possessing advanced weapons and various special units.

At the front are the rare human shield types of the Ratmen, including the Mutated Giant Rat Corps, the Mechanical Giant Rat Corps, and so on.

Behind these human shields are many long-range troops, such as elite gun-carrying ratmen, elite plague melters, plague rat tooth bombers, etc.

More than 400,000 ratmen lined up in formation, ready to attack.

What they faced was boundless and endless undead souls as far as the eye could see.

The formations of the rat men were all seen by the eyes of the dead in the sky.

"Ha, sure enough, they didn't put all the ratmen on the battlefield. They still used the ambush skill. Now, let's see if their ambush is effective!"

Li Ziyu looked at the number of rat men and felt keenly that the number of rat men waiting to fight the undead on the front battlefield was wrong.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Forward, attack!

The so-called forwards are cannon fodder troops.

Tens of millions of soul-born bugs and armored bug-men advanced slowly.

As they felt the breath of life, these guys seemed to be stimulated and ran wildly towards the Rat Man position.

Through the eyes of the undead, Li Ziyu clearly saw that the undead army was like a stream, gradually expanding and covering the earth.

The rat people were not idle either. After the undead began to charge, various long-range attacks were launched at the same time, pouring firepower into the pile of undead.

No need to aim, no need to think about anything else, just shoot with your eyes closed, don't miss the mark.

The undead gather together, and if any cannonball hits, at least four or five of them will be blown apart. The flames will burn and they will burn into pieces.

If the legions of other races encountered such a saturation attack from the Skaven long-range troops, without protection, they would be defeated in one wave.

It's a pity that the undead are different from other races. They don't care at all. They don't care whether there is defense or not. They don't care whether their companions are bombed to death or even whether they themselves will be blown away. They also don't care. In their eyes, they only see the breath of life in front of them.

The old commander remained calm and commanded the rat people to attack continuously.

The Rat Raiders and Melters formed a dense network of crossfire. The undead at the front were continuously knocked down and crushed, unable to advance even an inch.

The undead continued to pile up in front, and the piles became more and more. The dead undead piled up into a wall, and the undead behind jumped over the wall made of corpses and continued to charge.

Those who have never witnessed the charge of the undead will never be able to feel the fear firsthand.

The same goes for Skaven.

They have experienced many battles and seen many battlefields, but they have never seen such a terrifying sight.

With the long-range firepower of the Rat Men, they can be turned into meat grinders.

This is also the reason why the Ratmen can dominate the central area. With such firepower coverage, they are fearless of other races.

But when they saw that the undead did not flinch and used their bodies to resist the attack, they could not help but feel fear in their hearts.

Can we defeat such an enemy?

Can 600,000 troops really kill the undead?

This is still a junior unit, and the main event of the undead has not yet come!

Fortunately, they are all elites trained by the nobles, so they will not turn around and run away.

"Hold on!"

"Don't panic!"

"Don't let your emotions rule you!"

"Shoot, keep shooting!"

"What you have in front of you is just a pile of corpses. They were already dead!"

The old commander-in-chief also had a serious face at this time and continued to encourage the army.

Although the attack momentum is very strong, there will inevitably be some minor problems in the supply of ammunition, and when these minor problems occur, it is the time when the undead break through the blockade network.

After just a slight pause, the undead army crossed the blockade and continued to advance.
