Chapter 416 Retreat
"Let's go to a safe place first. Those rats will come back soon."

The general who was recovering from his injuries couldn't help but say to the medical staff next to him.

At this time, a Minotaur guard came over.

The total number of people in Kana's team is about 5000.

In addition to the 200 Night Watchmen, there are 600 members from the Church of Holy Light.

The remaining 4000-plus personnel all came from various races and forces.

So it looks like their team is a bit mixed.

"Hu Erbei, I didn't expect to see you here."

The general known as Hurbe looked at the minotaur in confusion.

It's not their fault. The main reason is that the appearance of the Minotaur is really difficult to distinguish. Most people rely on the size and angle of the horns and the color of the fur to identify them.

And now this minotaur has a broken horn, which is a more obvious feature and is obviously beyond the recognition range of Hurbe.

"Varo Ironhoof." The minotaur pointed at himself.

Hu Erbei reacted immediately.

"It's you. Aren't you supposed to be in the coastal area? Where are the cities that have survived?"

Huerbei was a little surprised, and then looked in the direction where the reinforcements were coming.

He said with some surprise: "We also sent people out to see if we could make contact with the people outside, but none of the sentries in this direction have returned."

There is no way. The encirclement created by the rat swarm sometimes covers an extremely large area.

These areas are filled with ratmen and various dangers.

In this situation, it is extremely difficult to get in touch with the outside world.

Even the Allied Forces only came here through the node built by Kana and the others' previous portal.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to force your way through.

"How is the situation in the kingdom?" asked Varro.

Hurbe was about to reply when a young Ranger ran over.

"Father, are you okay?"

After hearing this, Hurbei finally reacted: "Quick, let's leave here first, this place is really not safe enough."

So Kana and his troops took the remnants of the cavalry regiment and went inward under their guidance.

Along the way, you can occasionally see mice emerging from the grass.

These rats are spies that go deep inside and are everywhere.

In this grassy area, the mice are too well hidden.

As long as they hide in the grass, they are almost invisible.

At this time, Huerbei, who was in good condition after receiving a little treatment, was introducing their current situation to everyone.

“The rats’ raids were so successful that many of our herder camps on the outskirts and in the central savannah were destroyed.

There are also many flocks of sheep, cattle and horses, all of which have been taken away by the rats that eat horse shit."

This is almost the most important source of food for the Green Kingdom.

Sure enough, no matter which area they attacked, the rats' primary goal was to eliminate or rob the local forces of their food.

“But fortunately, the high priest discovered it early and sent information to the priests of each tribe, gathering them around the holy mountain.

The largest defense circle was built there, and our Ranger Regiment was responsible for rescuing more scattered tribes on the periphery.

By the way, support Cliff City and Moon Lake City."

The Holy Mountain and these two cities are the only three cities in this kingdom. The others are almost all horse markets and nomadic tribes.

Almost all of them have no fixed residence, and they move with the weather, seasons, and the appearance of the grasslands. "It's a good thing you came," his son said with some relief.

Huerbei couldn't help but nod: "We have been protecting those herdsmen and their sheep. There is no other way. We don't have much food stored.

So much was stolen by the rats. Although many people died, the remaining food could hardly last through the cold winter.

The sentries we sent out only managed to contact the Twin Snakes. Oh, by the way, your tribe also fled to Moon Lake City, and the losses they suffered weren't too great."

He said to Varro.

The minotaur Varo breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why he volunteered to join this army was not only because he had some knowledge of this area and had some acquaintances, but also because his Tauren tribe was also nearby.

Although he rationally knew that their tribe had little chance of survival, what if?
Now he was very happy to hear that at least some of their tribe had survived.

"The Twin Snakes can barely protect themselves, and they don't have enough food. Not to mention that the transportation route between us has long been cut off by those damn rats."

After saying this, everyone roughly understood the situation here.

The situation was almost the same as what they had encountered before. The forces that could hold on now were at least able to fight against the large group of rats with force.

The problem lies in supplies.

The mice had obviously expected this.

Steal as much food as possible so that you can transport more food to the nest and produce more mice.

By next year, there will be a large number of rats that have grown up and are able to fight, replenishing their forces.

The burned food will also make it difficult for the attacked forces to survive.

According to the rats' attacking method, most areas of this continent may be conquered by them in about 1 to 2 years.

Of course, this is assuming there is no external support and no unexpected events.

Even with external support, the rats can rely on their sufficient numbers to consume these people.

Then the power of the Order side will be reduced and restrained, allowing the chaos initiated by other evil gods to gain the upper hand.

In such a war, the strength of the [Evil Rats] will also grow rapidly.

The rats will also grow and learn, and gradually become stronger.

They have the advantage anyway.

Soon they were crossing a vast grassland.

We rested in a burned-out camp and did not arrive at the camp at the rear until noon the next day.

What comes into view are large herds of sheep, cattle and horses, and you can even see packs of wolves driving the sheep around.

Several huge war eagles were soaring in the sky, making cries.

"Using wolves to herd sheep?" Alicia asked.

"The Green Kingdom's belief is the wolf totem. Many people in their country can communicate with wolves, and they have been companions of wolves since childhood.

The vast majority of wolves on the grasslands are their companions, and can even be considered part of their nation’s people.”

Kana explained beside him.

He has the most proficient grasp of this kind of background-related knowledge.

I am familiar with this country only because I once went to a copy of this country in the game to obtain a wolf mount.

Many people are willing to come and play the dungeon to see if they can get it.

As for how he developed such a high affinity with wolves, he thought it might also be thanks to the [Stone of Creation].

Anyway, when you see these unreasonable things, it will be very reasonable to throw them at these stones.
