Of course, even if the former military town had been razed to the ground by holy light and blazing flames.
The walls of the city that had been rebuilt on top of the dilapidated walls were still filled with densely packed metalized mandala branches. They looked like rows of fatal blades.
To the Big Horn Army, which lacked siege weapons, it was definitely not an easy task to cross the mountains of blades and occupy Hundred Blade City.
Therefore, the real order given to the volunteer army of the rat people who besieged Hundred Blade City was not to capture the city at all costs.
Instead, it was to put on a grandiose show so that the defending army in Hundred Blade City would feel pressured and release a signal to ask for reinforcements.
As the saying went, "If you attack, you will definitely save."
This was the general rule of war between Earth and the Other World.
The wolf tribe had already suffered a few humiliating and crushing defeats in the battle against the Big Horn Army.
Even if they knew that the possibility of Hundred Blade City falling was not high, they could not just watch from the sidelines.
After all, the fact that Hundred Blade City was under siege was enough to make the jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards, who had ruled over Turanze for thousands of years, lose all their might and dignity.
At that time, the lion and tiger tribes, who had a strange relationship with the wolf tribe, would have an excuse to attack and weaken the wolf tribe's power.
Hence, the wolf tribe would definitely send reinforcements day and night.
As long as they dared to come.
The White Bone Camp, which had already set up an inescapable net around Hundred Blade City, would naturally let these jackals have a deeper understanding of the power of the rat people's rampage.
Of course, it was not easy to make the defending army in Hundred Blade City light up a signal to ask for reinforcements.
Hundred Blade City was not like those small towns at the borders that were empty.
There were enough weapons and Mandala Fruits stored here.
The garrison was not made up of elite warriors with totemic armor.
But they were still well-trained adult warriors.
He wanted them to light a fire beacon because of the rat people's attack and ask for help from the outside world.
It was the same as completely trampling on their dignity and beliefs.
To force them to this step …
For three whole days, the Rat Folk Volunteer Army continued to attack Hundred Blade City without any fear of death.
Amidst the Oracles' demonic voices and the soul-destroying beating of the war drums, tens of thousands of Rat Folk swarmed towards Hundred Blade City like huge waves that could shake the heavens and the earth.
After that, the walls of Hundred Blade City were riddled with holes or even shattered by the densely packed sharp blades. Only then did they retreat in a bloody mess.
Although the Rat Folk's encirclement did not have any sort of order, and they were just swarming forward in a chaotic manner,
There was a shocking number of them, but the tragedy of the Great Annihilation Order three thousand years ago replayed in the area around Hundred Blade City.
Meng Chao and the hailstorm were also caught in it.
They were like two inconspicuous waves in a bloodthirsty wave.
Their goal was to make themselves a little more conspicuous, but not too conspicuous.
Of course, it would be great if they could force Hundred Blade City to release the Fire Beacon as soon as possible to save the lives of a large number of Rat Citizens.
Thus, they couldn't rush to the front to break through the barriers.
Instead, they had to carefully choose the most suitable "meat shield" so that the "meat shield" could shine and hide their strength.
At that moment, the person who was charging in front of them was more than five arms tall. He swung two axes that were as big as doors, had horns on his head, and had a long nose. He was a mixture of the blood of an elephant-man and a minotaur. He was the sturdiest "meat shield".
This Rat People Warrior called Iron Head was chased out of his family during his father's generation due to internal strife in his family. He was reduced from a noble warrior to a lowly Rat People.
Perhaps it was because he was born with his father's resentment and hatred, but Iron Head was born with thick skin. He looked fierce, and his arms were strong. He was even stronger than many of the children of nobles.
It was said that because he was too strong and did not know how to control his strength, no one was willing to play wrestling with him.
When he was bored, he could only play wrestling with the Mandala Trees alone. In fact, he did not even need his arms or legs. He only needed his steel-like head to break the Mandala Trees that were as thick as a person's arms.
Unfortunately, in a prosperous era that was stagnant, it was hard for a Rat People like him, who only had brute strength but lacked legacies and resources to stand out.
The rise of the Big Horn Army gave Iron Head hope.
The divine revelation in his dream and the divine medicine the Rat God gave to the Rat People caused the brutality hidden in the depths of his blood to erupt like a volcano.
He was one of the few monsters who had taken five divine medicines and burned his life five times, but he was still alive and full of energy.
Tie Tou, who had gone berserk after consuming the godly medicine, had even forcefully smashed through a city wall.
Such great fighting strength caused Iron Head's reputation to rise, and he entered Meng Chao's sights.
From then on, Meng Chao and Ice Storm would consciously get closer to Iron Head during the fierce battles. They helped him avoid countless open and hidden attacks without anyone noticing. In fact, they even delivered achievements that were easily within his reach to him.
Soon, the news of Iron Head receiving the Rat God's favor and turning misfortune into blessing spread to the ears of the Rat People.
As a result, during this round of attack, when the boorish man waving the two axes charged forward without thinking, there were indeed hundreds of rat people who trusted him very much. They jumped out of the trench and followed him closely, forming a storm that was charging forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows came raining down like always.
Meng Chao and Ice Storm narrowed their eyes and quickly calculated the trajectory of each arrow as well as the path Iron Head and his vanguard would take.
Also, by stomping on the ground, they changed the shape of the mountains of corpses around them and guided Iron Head and the other Rat People so that they could avoid the arrows as much as possible while maintaining the formation of the vanguard.
After the duo's ingenious and discreet guidance, when the arrows landed on the ground, only a handful of Rat People screamed and fell to the ground.
But the other Rat People were unharmed. Before the second wave of arrows arrived, they jumped into the trenches filled with corpses.
Tie Tou was the biggest and the most obvious target. Originally, there were three or four arrows aimed at his face and chest.
But at the critical moment, Meng Chao flicked a pebble and accurately hit his Achilles tendon, causing his legs to go limp, and he tumbled into the trenches like a gourd.
The trenches were originally part of Hundred Blade City's defenses.
The bottom of the trenches was five arms deep, and there were many Mandala branches that had been polished until they were sharp.
It was smeared with the Dark Moon Clan's poison that could seal one's throat upon contact.
But no matter how sinister the trap was, it could not stop the Big Horn Army's numbers.
Tens of thousands of Rat People used the cruelest and simplest method to fill up the trenches with their own flesh and blood. They even built a short wall in front of the trenches.
It was perfect for the reinforcements to block the arrows from the tower and catch their breaths in the trenches. Once they rested, they could launch the next round of full-speed charges.
Iron Head, who had fallen into the trenches, still did not understand what had happened.
He had clearly sensed the arrows surrounded by killing intent and the pain of them piercing his brain and heart.
But somehow, he managed to avoid the fatal blow.
He used his huge brain that was not very useful to think about it seriously for a moment.
Iron Head instantly widened his eyes.
"Is this … Is this the Great Horned Rat God's blessing that makes me invulnerable?"
The excited Iron Head jumped out of the trenches again. He pounded his chest and howled as he rushed to the place where the arrows were the densest.
Meng Chao and Ice Tornado looked at each other.
Alright, "all brawn and no brains" was the standard they used when they chose their "meat shields".
Only this sort of boorish person would not realize that he had unknowingly fallen into the hands of Meng Chao and Ice Tornado!
After five rounds of charging at full speed, Meng Chao and Ice Tornado helped Iron Head charge past five trenches.
This was the furthest they had gone so far.
Hundred Blade City was covered in sharp blades, and the shining city walls were already within reach.
The number of Rat People who followed them had decreased by less than thirty percent compared to when they had just set out.
This was not just due to Meng Chao and Ice Tornado.
More importantly, the ratfolk warriors themselves were evolving at an astonishing speed.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and looked at the Rat People around him. They blocked the arrows and jumped into the trenches with practiced movements.
Most of them were built, had determined expressions, and were experienced in their movements.
Even if arrows pierced through their limbs, they could grit their teeth and bear with it. When they jumped into the trenches, they would draw their sabers, cut the arrow shafts, and pour in medicinal powder to stop bleeding and detoxify the poison. They did all of this in one go, and they looked like they were used to it.
Compared to a few days ago, when they had just joined the battle to attack Hundred Blade City, they were like two different people.
Compared to the Rat People Meng Chao saw in Black Corner City two months ago, they were either panicking, dumbfounded, or running around like headless flies. They were like two different species.
War was indeed the strongest force that pushed for evolution.
There had never been any difference in genes between the Rat People and the human warriors.
It was just that the education they received, the resources they received, and the missions they shouldered were different, which was why they were gradually divided into two different classes.
Today, the flames of war that spread through all of Turan Lake had gradually wiped away the visible difference between the two sides.
The changes in the Rat People reminded Meng Chao of the ancient war he had read from the core of the monster mastermind when he was in Monster Mountain Range and was in the depths of Hidden Fog Territory.
The ancient beast horde that was born and controlled by the "mother" was just like the Rat People Meng Chao. Through a large number of cruel deaths, they continued evolving at an astonishing speed.
In the end, these primitive and weak carbon-based creatures relied on their numbers to devour all traces of civilization the "ancients" had built on the surface of the Other World.
'If the Great Horn Army hadn't been destroyed, how would they have evolved in the brand new future?'
This thought suddenly rose in Meng Chao's mind.
"The walls of Hundred Blade City are right in front of us! Charge! The Great Horn Rat God is definitely in the sky! Let's see who will be the first to rush up the walls!"
Iron Head shouted. He did not even have the time to pull out the arrow in his arm. He just charged forward like a whirlwind.
