Chapter 524: Chapter 431, The Glory of the Kingdom- Aseti_1
Deep in the night, the usual time for rest.
The maids, dressed in simple loose nightgowns, are huddled together, creating tumultuous waves.
Dodging past the bodies at the door, they made their way into the manor.
“Master.”
The maids bowed, their loose linen tops hanging loosely.
From Fang Hao’s perspective, everything was clearly in view beyond what he should see.
It seemed as if the maids did not care, playfully vying against each other, occasionally jiggling enticingly.
“Alright, it’s a little dangerous outside tonight, you ladies will have to make do for the night here.” Fang Hao said to the maids.
“Yes, master.” The maids acknowledged.
Eira led the maids upstairs, starting to allocate them rooms for their rest.
The manor had been upgraded to level 10, and the number of rooms had increased substantially.
Enough to accommodate these maids, with a few sharing a room.
…
The maids had just gone upstairs.
Outside the door, the sound of digging into the dirt could be heard.
Looking out, ten-plus ground burrowers were digging out burrows, rushing out.
Behind them trailed squads of ratmen warriors.
The undead warriors guarding in front of the manor immediately clashed with these ratmen.
“Nisbit 49, you are in charge here.” Fang Hao ordered.
Nisbit 49 acknowledged, “Yes, sir.”
Looking around at the other directions, Fang Hao continued, “Nisbit 50, you take a team to the Viscera Museum to ensure the safety of Scholar Nelson.”
Aside from the skeleton craftsmen living in the production processing area,
Nelson’s Viscera Museum, located near the central area, may not hear any sounds of battle, but precautions must be taken against burrowers deviating from their track and tunneling towards the Viscera Museum.
For safety, Nisbit 50 was assigned to lead a team to guarantee the safety of Nelson and the funeral priests.
“Yes, sir.” Nisbit 50 agreed, leading his soldiers towards the Viscera Museum.
As per the original plan, Nisbit would have been evaluated for his hero status on the previous day.
But when Fang Hao learned about this mission, he postponed the evaluation.
The idea was to maximize Nisbit’s Soul Devouring skill to raise his attributes as much as possible, to increase the chance of passing the test.
Soul Devouring allows one to consume a slain enemy’s soul after killing them, enhancing one’s strength.
This ability needs to be honed on the battlefield, the more enemies you kill, the stronger you become.
So, apart from Nisbit 49 and Nisbit 50, who were stationed outside the manor,
The remaining Nisbits in the main city were all deployed in four separate locations, resisting the ratmen on the battlefield.
Killing ratmen to enhance their attributes.
After handing out this assignment, he made sure that the ratmen, even if they burrowed in, couldn’t penetrate the manor.
Fang Hao returned to his room, concentrating his remaining energy on the main battlefield.
Only with victory on the main battlefield can this battle truly be ended.
He reseated himself on the Bone Throne,
and Fang Hao’s conscious mind returned to the battle on the eastern side of the city.
Pumping, pumping, pumping!!!
A group of ratmen, about the size of some calves, charged directly into the undead shield formation.
Their flailing arms knocked the shield-bearing undead soldiers flying.
Like a hoard of enraged stars, they barrelled directly through into the undead formation.
Destruction Giant Mouse (Tier 8).
This kind of Demon Rat, their bodies are unusually strong.
Slimy greyish-white fur, exaggerated bulging muscles.
If not for their ratmen heads, one might even mistake these for deranged gorillas.
“Barren Tomb Guards, move, get rid of these big fellows,” Fang Hao spoke nonchalantly.
Reliant on just their initial momentum, these Destruction Giant Mice aren’t numerous. Under a hail of arrows and magical bombardments, only about 200 managed to charge into range.
The Barren Tomb Guards who were waiting in the rear, immediately engaged.
Dozens of them ganging up on one, hacking the Destruction Giant Mice into a bloody pulp.
Even their robust bodies couldn’t hold out for long under such mauling.
Looking at the tunnels dug by the ratmen upfront, from which ratmen were no longer emerging,
Fang Hao immediately ordered, “Send the command, attack!”
“Yes, sir.” The messenger left to relay the command.
Simultaneously, the drumbeats intensified.
In the sky, several bone dragons took flight, black pillars of energy swept through the ratmen hordes below.
Huge swaths of ratmen failed to evade in time and were hit by the energy columns.
Their bodies began to disintegrate, turning into heaps of bones.
At the same time,
The semi-squatting spearmen, who focused solely on defense, surged forward.
The Barren Tomb Guards and Nisbits behind the shield wall,
like meat grinders, made short work of any enemy that managed to penetrate the defensive lines.
The standoff had turned into a unilateral slaughter by the undead.
Meanwhile, the shielded spearmen relentlessly advanced,
forcing the ratmen to retreat constantly.
At this point, there were less than ten thousand ratmen left.
Gathered together, they watched the undead still advancing towards them, warily.
Among the ratmen, a ratman leader clad in dark red armour,
holding a sword with intricate patterns, glared furiously at the opponent.
He was a hero among the ratmen, the commander of this battle.
Headhunter – Pritzer (Purple Tier 5)
Pritzer had received conventional military training among the ratmen.
Looking at the undead army arrayed outside the tunnel,
It was evident that the enemy already knew their arrival location and was fully prepared.
Unable to penetrate the undead defenses head-on, he chose the strategy of surprise attack.
