"If we charge out, they'll definitely have the Undead charge at us and waste our strength. Then, they'll use their Elites to kill us, and we'll definitely lose!" The Ratfolk who had spoken first retorted.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
The Ratfolk who had said that he wanted to fight with Zhao Fu said angrily when he saw how cowardly the other Ratfolk were.
Suddenly!
The Ratfolk who had been silent this entire time suddenly said, "Didn't we dig three secret tunnels just in case? Now, we have two choices: one is to use this secret tunnel to secretly escape …"
"No!"
Before that Ratfolk could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the other Ratfolk, who said, "If we want to secretly escape, we have to take the City Creation Stone with us. However, if we choose to relocate, that human will definitely discover us. At the same time, we can't just give up on the City Creation Stone. Also, we've guarded this historical remnant for so long and have only explored a bit of it. Are you willing to give up on such a large piece of meat?"
"Ai!"
The Ratfolk who had been talking about the secret tunnel sighed and said, "We can only use the second option, which is to use this secret tunnel to make use of our Special Forces to attack from the inside. We should be able to deal a heavy blow to the human army."
Hearing this, all of the Ratfolk nodded; they had no other choice.
Time gradually passed, and the sun gradually set. A fiery cloud appeared on the horizon, and a few twinkling stars appeared in the blue sky.
As the sun completely set, twinkling stars also appeared in the night sky. There was no moon today, but although there was no moon, the sky was full of stars, so it was not too dark.
Zhao Fu's side lit torches, and he didn't seem to be on guard at all. It was as if he didn't place these Ratfolk in his eyes at all, and some of the soldiers even took out wine to drink.
This made the Ratfolk on the walls feel quite angry, and they swore to themselves, "We'll show those humans how powerful we are!"
The night grew darker and darker, and soon, it was 12 PM. On the surface, it looked like only a few teams were patrolling in Zhao Fu's camp, while everyone else had returned to their tents to sleep.
Seeing this, the Ratfolk felt that their opportunity had come, and they immediately started to whisper to each other as they carried out their plan.
A group of Ratfolk had passed through the three secret passages and arrived outside the village. There were roughly 2,000 Ratfolk in this group, and the Ratfolk on the walls secretly let down ropes, waiting for another group of 2,000 Ratfolk to attack and disrupt Zhao Fu's group.
Following this, the Ratfolk on the wall would descend from the ropes and fight with Zhao Fu from the other side. This was a perfect pincer attack, and if Zhao Fu was caught in a pincer attack, he would indeed be in great danger, and it was possible that he would be forced to run away.
According to the plan, the 2,000 Ratfolk had already walked out of the passageway and attacked Zhao Fu's camp under the cover of the night. However, in the next second …
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
Suddenly, a series of sonic booms sounded out, startling all of the Ratfolk, and they yelled, "Ambush!"
The Ratfolk immediately scattered, but it was a pity that they were still within range of the rain of arrows, and countless Ratfolk were killed by the arrows.
Zhang Dahu, who had been hiding nearby, walked out and loudly laughed as he said, "His Majesty was right; these Ratfolk have the same habits as rats and love to dig holes. Luckily, Little Grey's nose is better than a dog's and was able to discover these three secret passages."
"Awoo!"
Little Grey unhappily howled at Zhang Dahu, revealing its white fangs as it prepared to bite Zhang Dahu. Zhang Dahu felt quite awkward and hurriedly said, "Alright, alright! Let's not talk about your nose being better than a dog's. "
"Awoo!"
Little Grey continued to howl unhappily.
Zhang Dahu thought about it and understood, and he felt quite speechless as he said, "I won't call you Little Grey anymore; I'll call you Grey Wolf King, alright?"
To Little Grey, only Zhao Fu could call it Little Grey; no one else could. As such, it could only be called the Grey Wolf King.
Only then did Little Grey satisfactorily lie on the ground, and Zhang Dahu looked at the battlefield. He found that there were dozens of figures that were abnormally agile and were able to dodge the dense rain of arrows. They were also dressed quite strangely, as they seemed to be wearing hoods.
Seeing that most of the Ratfolk had been killed, Zhang Dahu did not continue to order his people to shoot, and he led his people to chase after the dozens of escaping Ratfolk.
…
An hour later, the Ratfolk on the town walls anxiously waited, wondering what was going on. It was already past the scheduled time, so why hadn't the Ratfolk attacked yet?
Within the Ratfolk Village, a few Ratfolk were anxiously pacing back and forth in the hall. They did not know what had happened to the group of Ratfolk, but they had a bad feeling.
…
"What?"
Zhao Fu's expression darkened as he looked at the kneeling Zhang Dahu and the innocent-looking Little Grey.
Following this, Zhao Fu let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Speak! How did 50 of your 1,500 people get injured and let those ten or so Ratfolk escape? "
Zhang Dahu let out a sigh of relief and reported, "Your Majesty! Originally, I followed your instructions to ambush and kill that Ratman, and everything went smoothly. "
"But there were dozens of Ratmen who were extremely agile and dodged almost all of the arrows. Then, they fled to the side. Of course, I gave the order to chase after them, but the Ratmen ran into a dense forest and disappeared without a trace like a fish in the sea."
"However! With Little Grey's nose, we were able to chase after them, but who would have thought that they would dare to ambush us. Of course, I followed Your Majesty's careful battle strategy.
"However, I never thought that 50 of our brothers would be injured. I killed 20 or so Ratfolk, but I couldn't find the other ten or so Ratfolk. I've already ordered people to lie in ambush around a few hidden paths; once they appear, we'll kill them all."
"Oh? Are those Ratfolk really that powerful? "
Zhao Fu asked curiously. It wasn't that he didn't trust Zhang Dahu, but he was curious as to why those 30 or so Ratfolk were so powerful.
"Your Majesty! I've brought back a few corpses; come and take a look, "Zhang Dahu said.
Hearing this, Zhao Fu nodded, and a few soldiers brought in a few Ratfolk corpses.
Zhao Fu looked at them and found that they were indeed different from normal Ratfolk. They were wearing black hooded clothes, which were wide enough to cover their appearances and tight enough to not hinder their movements. They had a short sword tied to each of their hands, and there seemed to be some sort of mechanism on their arms that allowed them to pull out and withdraw their short swords at any time.
