Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 589 Knowing it’s a trick

On a new day, the rat tide surges again.

In the past, when the rat army launched an offensive, relying on the huge strength of the rat tide, they often fought for a quarter without stopping.

Although the current siege force losses are large, according to the scale of the rat tide, it is undoubtedly unrealistic for Li Ce and others to reduce their strength to the bottom in a few days.

Facing the new day's offensive from the rat tide, Li Ce, who had just led his troops to take the initiative yesterday, undoubtedly planned to defend the city wall and recuperate today.

After many consecutive days of defensive battles, they had already become proficient in this city defense method. The whole process was smooth.

But today, the Rat Man made a new move.

"The rat men's regular army has moved!"

Thanks to Zhou Xu's talent, Li Ce's eyesight is quite outstanding. Standing on the top of the wall, he can use this height to see every move of the rat man in the distance.

"Facing this high wall, there won't be much difference between the rat men's regular army and slave soldiers."

The person who said this at this time was a lizard man adjutant that Li Ce arranged for himself out of convenience after the battle started.

After all, they are now surrounded by enemies, and Soros is also a capable commander. It would be a waste to follow him to command the same city wall.

On the other hand, if Thoros is allowed to help him direct the battle on the two walls, the pressure on him will be greatly reduced.

Li Ce did not doubt his adjutant's words. After all, judging from his understanding so far, this was indeed the case.

Turning their attention to the advancing rat army, they did not rush into the battlefield in one breath, but stopped at a certain safe distance after entering the battlefield area.

Immediately, a rat man suddenly jumped out and shouted at the wall...

"You bunch of courageous stinky lizards, will you just hide in there? If you have the guts, come out and beat them!!"

Listening to the shouts and curses outside the fortress, Li Ce was expressionless and unmoved at all. He only felt that the rat man who jumped out looked strange.

However, including his adjutant, the expressions of the lizardman soldiers who saw the rat man changed drastically, and some soldiers could not help but curse.

Li Ce frowned when he realized something was wrong.

"what happened?"

At this moment, his adjutant's expression was simply ferocious and terrifying.

"That damn rat-man is wearing Lord Baal's skin on his face!"

[The name Baal, if I remember correctly, is the name of the previous lizardmen commander in the southern camp. At that time, the lizardmen army was defeated, and he also disappeared in the chaos...]

At that time, he was said to be missing, but basically it was not much different from dead.

After Li Ce took office, he tentatively confirmed the situation here.

It's just that it's been more than two years since this happened. When he heard the name, it really took Li Ce some time to react.

At the same time, after listening to the adjutant's words, he took a closer look and realized why the rat man looked so strange.

It turns out that the rat man's face is actually covered with a lizard man's face!

During this process, the rat man with the face of a lizard man was still shouting, and the lizard people here seemed to be excited.

"Captain, please let us go to war!"

"Captain, please allow us to go to war!"

"Captain!!"

This shout almost formed a chain reaction, and the lizard soldiers on the wall all asked for a fight.

Faced with this situation, Li Ce's face was tense, but his mood was extremely bad.

The opponent was clearly motivating them to give up their defense and take the initiative. The meaning was too obvious, but this move completely hit their vitals. He really didn't care about Baal's face, but the lizard people did.

If he tried to stop him now, the impact on his morale would be minimal, but he might be afraid that it would cause a gap between the lizard people and him. This would be the biggest trouble.

This feeling of knowing it's a trap but having to take advantage of it is really terrible.

Unexpectedly, just when Li Ce was about to order an attack, a voice rang before him.

"You idiots, can't you see that this is a trap set by the rat men across the street?!"

As the sound rang out, Soros, dressed in military uniform, hurried over, his expression extremely ugly.

"But Lord Barr..."

"Baal hopes that we can win the battle and destroy the Ratmen! Instead of falling into the Ratmen's trap like you idiots!"

Thoros interrupted the other party's words without politeness and left the group of lizard soldiers speechless.

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and get back to your place!!"

Amidst Thoros's scolding, the lizardman soldiers who came to ask for a fight were all ashamed and ran back to their positions.

During this period, Li Ce, who was standing by the side, said nothing, but felt greatly relieved.

He knew these words, but he couldn't say them. This time, he could only say that Soros came too timely.

At the same time, on the battlefield, the rat man yelling and cursing in Baal's face was none other than Talon.

Talon was famous for his cruelty and ferocity in his early years. He liked to peel off the enemy's face and make it into a hood to put on his face to fight the enemy. Therefore, he got another cruel nickname, "Skinner".

Of course, not every lizardman is qualified to be skinned by him and collected as trophies.

The person who can have his face peeled off by sharp claws must at least be a leader.

As the original supreme commander of the Lizardmen's southern defense line, Barr can be said to have the highest status among all his current trophies.

At this moment, with Baal's face, Talon kept yelling and cursing for a while, but the other party showed no intention of going out to fight. Although Talon was annoyed, there was nothing he could do about it.

Then with an order, a group of burly figures walked out from the regular army.

They have all the characteristics of rat men, but they are completely different from the ordinary thin rat men. Their body size is estimated to be five meters. They stand on two feet, with muscles all over their bodies, and their posture looks quite ferocious.

"what is that?"

While Soros was still there, Li Ce quickly asked the questions in his heart.

"They are rat trolls. They are different from ordinary rat people. They are very powerful and physically strong, and their speed is not slow."

Hearing this, Li Ce's eyebrows were about to knit together.

"Aren't there any weaknesses?"

"Weakness. Maybe the brain is not very good."

"..."

While they were talking, the ordinary rat soldiers at the rear had already pushed the barrels one by one to the feet of the rat trolls.

The rat trolls didn't hesitate when they saw this, and directly grabbed the barrel with one hand, then stretched out their arms, exerted force, and threw the barrel towards the wall of their border fortress on the spot!
