Chapter 1120: The Haze of Victory

It was not only because they were numerous.

It was also because they had the help of the local rat people from the Gold Clan.

After all, “rat people” was not a biological concept.

It was a collection of countless losers who had been eliminated in war, in trials, in fights, and in coming-of-age ceremonies.

From a biological point of view, there was not much difference in the appearance or genes of the rat people and the warriors who lived in the same town. It was very likely that they were inextricably related.

Apart from the amplification effect of the totem armor, there was no irreparable difference in the combat strength of the Warriors and rat people by relying on the tactics of the Sea of people.

Most of the rat people who belonged to the Gold clan also had the bloodlines of wolves, tigers and leopards, fangs and sharp claws, as well as a more ferocious temperament than the even-hoofed rat people.

The unruly and unruly them were even more unwilling to obey their master’s discipline and were even more rebellious. There was a sharper and deeper conflict between them and the ruler of the Gold clan.

Therefore, in the past few thousand years, they had also been treated cruelly and even cruelly by their masters.

Thousands of years of blood debt had long been condensed into an active volcano that was on the verge of erupting.

The rise of the great horn army had completely ignited the hatred of the rat people who belonged to the Gold clan, which was even hotter than magma.

When the Great Horn Army’s vanguard reached their own town, they rose up one after another and responded to the call of the great horn rat god. They cooperated from the inside and the outside and cooperated with their “True compatriots”to drive their master, who deserved to die, out of the city, they were even annihilated on the spot.

These rats, who also had sharp claws and teeth, were the most fearless soldiers on the battlefield. Other than the wounds all over their bodies and the twisted limbs that were smashed by shackles all day long, they were no different from their masters, they were also the cruelest Avengers after victory.

With their help, the great horn army swept through the southern territory of the Gold clan like a hot knife through butter.

In just ten days, Meng Chao had participated in four siege battles.

The four border towns all fell in one go.

The towns that used to have the battle flags of Lion Fang, Tiger Claw, Wolf Head, and leopard tail had now become the territory of the Rat God skeleton flag.

From the towns to the countryside, there was a sea of jubilant rats from all over Tu Lan Ze.

The rat tide that stretched for tens of miles could be seen everywhere. It made Meng Chao feel as if his arrival had set off a chain reaction that would change the future.

After all, the great horn army in his previous life had not achieved such a sensational result in black horn city.

It was also impossible to pull so many fugitives from the territory of the Blood Hoof clan to form such a huge army.

Although most of the people who formed this army were mobs.

However, as long as the number exceeded the critical point, not to mention the rat population, even real rats could become the overlords at the top of the food chain!

However, the steaming reward in front of Meng Chao instantly shattered his fantasy.

The so-called ‘reward’was a portion of datura paste in a wooden bowl.

Although it was mixed with some sour cream and a few pieces of minced meat, at first smell, it had a very appetizing smell.

However, when Meng Chao inserted the wooden spoon vertically, the spoon immediately tilted to the side.

This meant that the bowl of paste had added a lot of water, so the consistency was limited.

Moreover, when Meng Chao stirred the bowl with the wooden spoon, what was stirred up was not minced meat, but chopped grass roots and vegetable seeds, which were mixed into a suspicious solid.

This bowl of batter was only slightly stronger than the military rations they usually ate during their daily marching.

It was really not qualified to serve as a qualified reward.

Meng Chao remembered that when they took down the first town in the territory of the Gold clan, the reward they received was not only five fried mandala fruits for each person, but also an extremely fragrant sour cream, there was also a palm-sized steak for each person.

By the time they conquered the second town, the steak was gone.

By the time they conquered the third town, the number of fried mandala fruits was reduced from five to three, and the sour cream was only a pitiful spoonful each.

This time, the priests danced even more crazily, and the officers smiled even more brightly. Everyone was cheering for the increasingly brilliant victory, looking forward to an increasingly better tomorrow. It seemed that it would not be long before.., they would be able to attack the city of red gold in one go.

However, the reward after the great victory had turned into a bowl of clear soup with little water.

This was enough to show that the future had not completely changed.

The Great Horn Army still had not solved the most fatal problem.

That was food.

To put it more bluntly, the great horn army had not achieved any true victory.

The cities and towns that they occupied in the southern territory of the Gold clan were all taken by the Gold clan and handed over to them.

Before they left, the warriors of the Gold clan had almost emptied every temple, Arsenal, and granary in the city.

Due to the lack of manpower, the mandala fruits that could not be moved were burnt to the ground.

Even if there were one or two towns occasionally, the rats in the cities would cooperate with each other and take control of the granaries first.

The mandala fruits in just a few granaries were a drop in the bucket for the millions of legions that were hungry for food.

As a result, the great horn army was gradually brought into a dilemma by its series of ‘victories’. It was in an awkward and even dangerous situation.

Although they had ‘conquered’a large area of territory, they were unable to obtain enough food.

However, there were still countless rats who had heard of the Great Horn Army’s ‘illustrious reputation’. Under the indulgence of their masters, they rushed over from all directions.

Since the great horn rat god claimed that he wanted to save the entire rat population.

He could not allow even one rat population to starve to death under the command of the Great Horn Army.

The rat civilians that swarmed over might not be able to increase the battle strength of the Great Horn Legion by much.

However, it made the already hard-pressed army grain consumption even worse.

On the other hand, after reaching millions or even millions, the Great Horn Legion, as an uprising army, completely lost the advantage of flexibility.

This was not the same as the time when they led hundreds of troops to break out of the sunken plains.

Even on modern Earth with the support of a strong logistics industry, perfect wireless communication, and over-the-horizon strike system.

There were only a handful of countries that had the ability to build and command a million-strong army.

Looking at the thousands of years of ancient war history on Earth, the number of ancient generals who could command a true ‘million-strong army’could be counted on one hand.

It was obvious that the great horn army did not have such a talented commander.

The rat people, who were full of passion and desire to kill but lacked the basic qualities to follow orders, could not be considered outstanding. They were not even true warriors.

The rat people, who were dancing and singing for dozens of miles, looked like they were about to swallow a thousand miles.

But to any commander with a little common sense, they were a huge problem.

In short, the current great horn army was like a dinosaur that had expanded ten times its size in just ten days to half a month.

The poor brain and thin bones that were out of proportion to its size could not withstand the flesh and blood that was still getting heavier.

On the surface, this dinosaur occupied a large piece of territory.

If one observed carefully, one would find that the seemingly majestic dinosaur had been crushed by its own weight and was lying on the ground, panting!

If one wanted this dinosaur to stand up again…

One could only feed it more food.

In front of the Great Horn Army, all the mandala fruits in the golden territory had long been harvested and stored in the impregnable fortified cities that were heavily guarded by dragons and tigers.

To conquer these thousands of years ago, even the “Great Extinction Order”era, the land of Holy Light Iron Blood Army could not conquer the brilliant city.

The Bighorn Army will have to muster all its forces and make the most of its numerical superiority, hoping that quantitative change will lead to qualitative change.

However, the mobilization of all the rat population, concentrated in one place, will greatly increase their daily heat consumption, the logistics of supply lines, the unbearable pressure.

Moreover, gathering all the troops meant putting everything on the line.

If they were unable to take down the fortified city and waited until they ran out of ammunition and food, there was no need to wait for the ferocious wolves, tigers, and leopards in the city to rush out.

The starving rat people would probably have to fight amongst themselves and swallow each other up.

Then, could the great horn army, which had put everything on the line, defeat the real elite clan battle group made up of all the totem warriors?

Meng Chao, who had witnessed the real elite clan battle group in the memory fragments of his previous life, had a negative attitude towards this.

In the end, the hotheaded rat people’s uprising army had yet to fight against the real elite clan battle group.

In black-corner city, they had only taken advantage of the continuous explosion of biogas.

The clan warriors who had charged into black-corner city had focused more on the temple’s supreme treasure and not the rat people.

In the process of breaking out of the encirclement, they did not fight many tough battles. The so-called pursuers did not want to waste their precious time, energy, and resources on them. Instead, they wanted them to run to the territory of the Gold clan, they wanted them to cause more trouble.

When they came to the territory of the Gold clan, they were faced with the enemy camps that had almost become empty cities. The guards there were all the old, weak, and disabled people who had gray hair on their temples, lost their claws, and even lost their limbs.

If the Rat Uprising army was blinded by the so-called ‘Victory’of harvesting the old, weak, and disabled, they would think that the warriors of the clan were just so-so.

Meng Chao could guarantee that they were close to their fated death.

Speaking of which…

Even the rat people were extremely clear-headed.

They maintained the highest level of vigilance against the enemy in front of them.

The commander of the Great Horn Legion was also a famous general.

Without outside help, no one could solve the fatal problem that the Great Horn Legion faced.

At this moment, the ocean of victory in front of Meng Chao was destined to turn into a blazing blood hell tomorrow!
