Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 919 Assembly Post

The fighting went from day to night, and from night to day. The rhythm of the attacks on both sides changed, but the ratmen had no intention of retreating.

They took advantage of the scale of the rat tide to launch a continuous offensive, not giving the southern border troops any chance to breathe.

During this process, as the sky gradually brightened, the sound of the assembly whistle rang out in the fortress, waking up the human soldiers who were still sleeping.

At this point in time, almost half a night's sleep would certainly not allow them to fully recover from their fatigue, but the moment the assembly whistle sounded, the body's instinctive reaction still made the sleeping soldiers jump out of bed one by one.

At the same time, he shouted...

“Gather, gather!!”

Amid the shouting, a soldier in the dormitory noticed that the brother sleeping on the upper bunk had not woken up yet, so he quickly put on his clothes and patted the bunk bed hard.

"Stone! Stone!!"

After calling out twice, there was no response from the person on the upper bunk. The soldier was speechless. He quickly put on his clothes, grabbed the ladder beside him and climbed up.

"Why the hell are you sleeping like a dead pig?!"

The soldier had just cursed and climbed onto the upper bunk when he was stunned by the scene he saw.

At this moment, the soldier called Stone was lying there with his eyes closed, his face ashen, his lips purple, and beads of cold sweat still oozing out of his forehead, but he showed no sign of waking up.

At this moment, even the dumbest person would know that something has happened!

"Medical team, medical team!!!"

As the assembly whistle sounded, the dormitory area of ​​the entire human army in the Southern Fortress quickly fell into a huge commotion.

Similar situations occurred in many dormitories, and the medical team rushed over as quickly as possible to confirm the conditions of those soldiers.

At the same time, Bai Tu, the commander of the army, who understood the situation, suddenly looked ugly.

He never expected that such an unexpected situation would happen at this critical juncture.

At this point in time, the Lizardman troops had just finished a day and night of fighting and were now waiting for their rotation.

The longer this drags on, the greater the risk the front line will have to bear.

Thinking of this, Bai Tu made a prompt decision and quickly gave the order...

"All soldiers showing symptoms should be sent to the medical team for treatment. Soldiers without symptoms should gather immediately and rotate with the Lizardmen troops after breakfast!"

Although he was worried about the situation of his comrades, in the Great Zhou, obeying orders was a soldier's duty.

Not to mention that they also knew that resisting the attack of the ratmen was the top priority at the moment.

Upon receiving the order, soldiers without symptoms completed the assembly immediately.

At first glance, there was no obvious decrease in the number of troops, which made Bai Tu secretly relieved.

After letting the soldiers quickly finish their breakfast, he led his team directly to the city wall to take over from Soros.

Although Soros was on the front line commanding the battle, he was the first to receive the news of what happened in the fortress.

"I heard that some soldiers have developed serious illnesses? They are unconscious?"

Bai Tu nodded vigorously.

"Yes, it has been handed over to the medical team. We are not sure what the situation is yet."

Having said that, Bai Tu couldn't help but ask another question.

"Has this happened to any of your Lizardmen soldiers?"

"Nothing has been found yet."

After saying this, Soros quickly turned the topic to the current battle situation. "The Ratman's offensive has slowed down, and the main force has not entered the battlefield. After all, the Ratman also needs to rest. They are just using the Rat Tide to drag us down and consume us continuously, not wanting us to rest."

"Don't be too nervous, just keep calm and deal with it as it comes."

Although he was already accustomed to the intensity of the ratmen's attacks, Soros was exhausted both physically and mentally after fighting them for a day and a night.

After briefly explaining everything to Bai Tu, he retreated from the front line, ate a few bites of breakfast, and fell asleep.

He did not express any concern about the situation after Bai Tu took over.

On the one hand, in yesterday's battle, Bai Tu had already demonstrated his abilities.

On the other hand, there are the Formation Trap and the Speed ​​Dragon Cavalry outside the fortress to provide backup. If the situation goes wrong, they will definitely take action.

Although Bai Tu had already served as the commander-in-chief of the fortress defense last night.

But at that time, the Lizardman troops were killing enemies outside the city, which could be said to have helped him share most of the pressure. It was completely different from the current situation where all the pressure was on him, and he was really a little nervous.

But as the layout unfolded and the defense work in the wall area and the city gate area went smoothly, Bai Tu's overall condition gradually improved.

This sleep was effective. Compared with last night, he felt that his mind was much clearer.

Facing the attack of the rat tide at this moment, Bai Tu also plays a safe approach, first countering the moves and then seeing how the situation develops.

After all, the situation of the rat people is different from theirs. There is no command or technology in the rat tide's attack. They rely purely on numbers to consume them.

This process is often very long and may even last ten days or half a month.

During this period, the opposing ratman commander does not need to keep an eye on the battle situation throughout the whole process and can just take a rest.

This is indeed the case. After the failure of an earlier wave of assault and two subsequent unsuccessful attempts, the opposing ratman leader had already begun to reduce his offensive and returned to the previous state of fighting a war of attrition so that the regular army troops and himself could have a good rest.

But he was in a bad mood and tossed and turned, so his rest quality was not good at all. It was not until dawn that he finally slept for two or three hours.

After waking up, the rat leader immediately became irritable again and quickly asked about the situation on the main battlefield.

On the main battlefield, there was basically no situation, and the consumption of troops was still continuing.

This was also within his expectations, but what he was concerned about now was not this issue.

"What about the cavalry on the other side? Did the cavalry appear later?"

"No."

The rat leader did not show much joy on his face when he received this answer.

The opposing cavalry unit did not appear in the back, which definitely meant they were not killed suddenly, but were resting.

After resting, the cavalry units will recover and pose a greater threat to them.

When the rat leader thought of this, he felt upset.

"How many troops does the Giant Rat Knight have left?"

"There are still about two thousand left."

The rat leader looked grim when he heard this number.

As their important cavalry unit, he certainly couldn't possibly sacrifice all of the Giant Rat Knights when he cast the Blood Explosion Technique before, but the loss was still not small.

Although the individual strength of their regular rat army is much stronger than that of the slave soldiers, the gap in strength is still quite obvious when compared with the lizardmen's cavalry units, and they still win by sheer numbers.

Not to mention facing the heavily armored cavalry who were completely wrapped in metal armor.

Two thousand giant rat knights may sound like a lot, but the Rat Leader knew that they no longer had much of an advantage in terms of manpower...
