Chapter 490 Hostage Wall

The rats' forced first wave of counterattack was perfectly resolved.

The Allied forces suffered almost no casualties and defeated the rats.

Then came the second and third waves.

Those modified rats were mixed in with them. They had high morale and a strong desire to fight, with almost no fear in their hearts.

He rushed directly to the front of the Allied Forces through various attacks and collided with the soldiers in the front row.

The various siege weapons in the rear did not stop, pouring a large amount of firepower onto the enemy's defense line.

On the defense line.

General Rat looked grim. If the battle continued like this, let alone delaying the Allied Forces' offensive, they might not be able to hold out for two or three days.

This was not what he wanted to see. Although deep down he knew that it was almost impossible to erect the barrier firmly, he could only delay it for one day.

But the so-called delay of one day is one day, at least we can defend for ten days, half a month, or even a month.

Instead of just two or three days, what's the difference between this and a defeat?
He couldn't accept this result.

There were footsteps behind me.

General Rat frowned and looked over. It was the cultist in black robes who believed in the [Shadow of Trickery].

"You seem troubled. How about I come up with a solution for you?"

"What's the solution?" asked the mouse.

After hearing the countermeasures, the mouse looked puzzled, but under persuasion, he quickly gave the order.

Soon, halfway through the fourth wave of attack, the rats retreated first.

Although Sweet, the commander of the Allied Forces, was somewhat puzzled by the situation, he immediately replaced a wave of soldiers in the front row.

"The rats are not behaving normally. They may be preparing something," said an officer.

The fourth attack just now has already put them under tremendous pressure.

The rats attacked again and again without stopping, just like the waves hitting them again and again, and each time they hit them would cause them more serious damage than the last time.

If they continued as they had just done, they would be forced into a melee.

Some of the engineering equipment behind us may have to stop temporarily.

It is really puzzling that the mice stopped when they were obviously about to break the trend.

Although the rats had to leave behind a large number of corpses in every attack, everyone knew that the rats did not care about it.

"We can't take care of these things, we should take this time to rest and adjust the soldiers' condition.

The replacement soldiers remained alert and ready to meet the attack at any time.

Keep the engineering equipment going, increase the firepower."

The order was given.

The coalition forces continued to operate, waiting for the rats' next move.

Anyway, time will never be on the side of rats. Under the attack of a large number of engineering equipment, their defense line has begun to become tattered.

When the line of defense can no longer be called a line of defense, that is when the Night's Watch will launch a general attack.

It didn't take long.

There seemed to be movement coming from the enemy's direction.

"Get out, get out, meat, sheep."

From the cave below the defense line, humans emerged one after another, wearing ragged and dirty clothes, some of which could only be called rags.

In addition to humans, you can also see snake people and even creatures like minotaurs.

Intelligent races of various orders on this continent can be seen among these people, and they are being forced.

His hands and feet were tied with ropes, his body was emaciated, his face was numb, and his condition was extremely poor.

The siege weapons continued their assault, and under the barrage of ammunition, some people died instantly, being devoured by the rats present.

Such a horrifying scene caused some panic among the crowd, but it seemed that they were already used to it and did not scatter or flee in fear, or become panicked.

The coalition forces seemed to have just discovered something was wrong.

"Then, what is that?"

"Stop, stop attacking."

"They are civilians captured by the rats. There are many of them..."

Sweet looked at the map, at the sudden appearance of a cluster of white dots amidst the dense red patches.

silent.

The rats seemed to have deliberately made these bound and captured civilians stand in a row.

Directly facing the Allied Forces.

More and more people were brought out of the cave, and when this action stopped, the number of gathered civilians almost exceeded 2.

"They, they actually hid so many civilians behind the defense line? Why?" a soldier asked in disbelief.

"Why? Maybe it's the food reserves..." another soldier muttered to himself.

The soldiers around didn't dare to think too much about it.

But no matter what, as the civilians were driven out by the rats and lined up in a row, the Night Watch had to stop the attack.

A quarrel broke out in the command camp.

"We should not stop the attack, we should increase our firepower. This is the enemy's trick. He wants to use this method to penetrate our heart."

A strong-looking officer roared.

A snakeman shook his head. "No, those aren't just a few dozen or a few hundred civilians. Those are tens of thousands of civilians. Do you understand? Tens of thousands!"

The civilians stood in a dense row, and once the attacks began, it seemed as if they were directed at their own people.

"Are we going to stop the attack just like that? Every moment we stop will slow down our plans, and the danger to the entire continent will increase!"

Another officer said the same thing.

At this time, all the officers and staff in the tent were divided into two factions.

A representative of the Holy Light Church murmured, "But if we... harm those civilians, it will severely damage the morale of the soldiers and cause them mental problems.

Many of the coalition forces became soldiers during this period out of hatred for the rat attacks, and they could not accept the pain of slaughtering their own kind.

By then, the power of those evil gods will cause them to fall, and this is a fact we cannot accept."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.

Yes.

The evil god's bewitching influence on the spiritual will is almost extremely dangerous at this moment.

When they make a decision, they must face the extremely serious consequences.

To be honest, under such a large-scale attack by rats, almost every soldier in the coalition army was affected.

Perhaps they have experienced tragedy themselves or lost loved ones in the attack, no matter what, their hearts are more or less broken at this moment.

It is easy to be tempted and corrupted when facing the evil god. If this happens again, the chance of corruption will increase rapidly.

From a pessimistic point of view, if they are allowed to harm civilians, madness may only take a moment. Even if they don't go crazy now, the hidden danger will be buried deep in their hearts.

at this point.

Even Sweet was troubled.

Have to admit.

Even among the Night's Watch, most of them had sworn an oath and had never thought of massacring civilians.
