Episode 10 Baruch Chapter 43 – The Rat Rush Plague
In that boundless mist, an endless tide of rats came, and all the warriors, including the two elite legions, the Sacred Legion and the Dark Legion, felt trepidation in the bottom of their hearts. But even more fearful, they had to take up their weapons to kill these magical beasts.
Either the magical beasts would die, or they would die!
“Kill!” The bows and arrows seemed to cover a small area in the rat tide like rain, however, the Stone Devouring Rats’ bodies were too hard and the Shadow Rats were too fast, so only a few of the Shadow Rats were shot to death.
Finally-
The tide of rats collided with the legions on the side of the Illuminati and the Dark Church.
“Scrooge, scrooge~~” the heart-shaking chewing sound.
Countless magical beast rats surged up, all human soldiers that blocked their path were bitten to death, not only was the meat devoured, but even the white bones were eaten, that Holy Legion and Dark Legion combined, there were nearly 10,000 level 7 warriors.
However, in front of the rat tide, the 10,000 level 7 warriors were nothing.
Because in the rat tide, the rodent magical beasts that reach level seven are just terrifying numbers, and the general level five stone devouring rats and shadow rats can bite the level seven warriors to death just by swarming them. Ten thousand level seven warriors …… in front of hundreds of millions of magical beast rats are like a wave, instantly dissipated.
“Escape!” A soldier fled with a terrified yell.
One fled, and many fearful soldiers immediately fled, they were simply unable to resist the wave of rats.
But ……
There was no way to escape!
The speed of the shadow rats and stone devouring rats were extremely fast, much faster than humans running, the fleeing soldiers were wrapped up in an instant, countless warriors were devoured, even that Gilmer and Vespert were so scared that their faces turned white and immediately fled.
“Quickly, quickly.” The Vespert, Gilmer duo didn’t have the slightest idea of resisting anymore.
The rat tide invaded. Nearly half of this nearly one million-strong army was completely wiped out in just a moment’s effort, not even white bones remaining.
“Linley, just have them surrender, don’t go on massacring them like this.” Delia was somewhat unable to bear it.
Linley, on the other hand, looked to the three purple-golden rat kings beside him, one of which grinned at Delia, “Fine. Hey, Linley, you inform them that as long as those people kneel down and surrender with their hands up, the rat-type magical beasts won’t attack them.”
Linley nodded slightly.
“Everyone listen, kneel down and raise your hands in surrender, and the magical beasts won’t attack you!” Linley’s ground voice echoed between heaven and earth as if it were thunder.
The moment this sound came out. Immediately, all those desperate soldiers immediately knelt down and raised their hands.
At the same time, that purple-gold colored rat king opened its mouth, “Yo~~~”
The high-pitched sharp whistling sound resounded through the sky, and all the rat-type magical beasts seemed to have gotten the order, and very strangely, wherever the soldiers knelt down and raised their hands, all the rat-type magical beasts immediately bypassed them. Attacking other soldiers.
“What to do?” Gilmer looked panicked as both Vespert and Gilmer cast defense magic to protect themselves.
“How do I know?” Vespert was also scared.
At this moment there were surprisingly ten, magical beast rats with bodies nearly a meter long looking at them, these ten rat-like magical beasts. Their bodies were either purple or golden. And that purple among them all have hidden gold light, and gold among the rat-like magical beasts, also have hidden purple light.
To know, under normal circumstances ……
The highest level of shadow rat is purple. As long as it reaches the seventh level, it can become a seventh level purple shadow rat. Then it can become a seventh level purple shadow rat.
The highest ranked Stone Devouring Rats were golden in color, and as long as they reached the seventh rank, they could become seventh ranked Stone Devouring Rats.
And from the seventh level to the Holy Realm. Purple Shadow Rats’ fur would gradually develop towards a ‘purple-gold color’. And the golden stone devouring rats would also gradually develop towards a ‘purple-gold color’.
These ten rat-type magical beasts were clearly all rank eight or rank nine rat-type magical beasts.
“Squeak~~” a ninth level stone devouring rat swooped over, and even bit off Gilmer’s ‘Light Guardian’ on his body surface, while Vespert’s defense magic was similarly directly destroyed, these ten magical beasts rats didn’t rush to attack.
Their intelligence was in no way lower than that of humans.
Gilmer and Vespert looked at each other, their foreheads were covered in beads of sweat, and their backs were wet with sweat. They understood …… that as long as these ten magical beast rats rushed over, they would be instantly bitten to pieces, to the point where there wasn t even any bone dregs left.
And that was just when Linley’s voice rang out.
After the two looked at each other, they no longer hesitated.
“Bang!” The duo immediately knelt down while raising their hands.
Instantly, eight of those ten magical beast rats immediately left, while the remaining two were here watching them. The magical beast rats were very smart, these ten magical beast rats instantly realized that the two ninth level powerhouses, Gilmer and Vespert, were the enemy alpha figures.
This kind of leading figure, of course, should be captured alive.
When the light ground fog dissipated in the morning, Linley and the others clearly saw that a large number of enemy soldiers were kneeling, and around those kneeling soldiers were a dense number of magical beast rats ten or a hundred times more numerous. The ‘visual effect’ caused by that kind of quantity alone made people’s hearts tremble.
“Shoo!” A shadow of light flashed by, and a golden mouse that had a hidden purple light scurried over, then squeaked in a low voice.
“What? There are only three hundred thousand or so Earth soldiers left alive.” Bebe exclaimed. Bebe naturally understood the language of rat-type magical beasts.
Instead, those three purple-gold rats narrowed their small eyes in triumph, and one of them looked towards Bebe, “Bebe, how’s it going?” Bebe looked at the boundless tide of rats and sighed, “It’s really something, if only all these magical beast rats would listen to my orders.”
With so many hundreds of millions of rat magical beasts, who could resist?
“It’s simple.” That purple-gold shadow rat in the lead immediately chirped loudly, and immediately Bebe became excited as well.
Linley looked at Bebe suspiciously.
“Boss, from today onwards, these hundreds of millions of rat-like magical beasts are at my beck and call, haha.” Bebe was smugly pleased, and at the same time, Bebe immediately shouted loudly, and that voice similarly spread throughout the entire battlefield, as countless rat-like magical beasts respectfully bowed their heads to Bebe.
Linley’s heart was secretly astonished.
Linley had heard about the terrifying nature of the Stone Eater Rat Swarm and Shadow Rat Swarm since he was a child. But in Linley’s mind, this rat tide having a few million was already terrifying, if it was a few hundred million …… then it was just too frightening.
“These hundreds of millions of rat magical beasts go over, what kind of army can block them?” Linley secretly shook his head in his heart.
It was as if, the magical beasts of that magical beast mountain range killed out. Even Finlay City had been instantly overrun, and the entire Holy Alliance and Dark Alliance had been occupied by nearly a third of their territories. The power of the magical beast swarm can be imagined. The Dark Forest …… is the lair of the rat type magical beasts.
A small portion of these rat like magical beasts would be enough to sweep through an empire.
Of course, the premise is that Saint Domain experts do not intervene!
That purple and gold colored rat king in the lead. Smiling at Linley, he said, “Introduce yourself, my name is Harry!”
“I’m Hart, second in line.” Another purple-golden rat king immediately said.
The last purple-golden rat king almost said, but Linley spoke, “Your name is Harvey, right? I’ve heard Bebe mention you a lot.” The one purple-golden rat king that Bebe had truly befriended in the Forest of Darkness was Harvey. The other two however, didn’t have much of a friendship.
“Three of you, are you really handing this rat pack over to Bebe?” Linley inquired.
This rat swarm was far too large, and this Rat King was easily handing them over to Bebe to command?
The purple-golden rat king ‘Harry’ said unconcernedly, “You don’t know, but in fact, in the Forest of Darkness. Every once in a while, a group of rats have to kill each other, and a large portion of them die, eliminating the weak ones.”
“A large portion die?” Linley was surprised.
The purple-golden Rat King ‘Harvey’, who was ranked as the third oldest, said, “It’s simple, because the lower ranked the rat-like magical beasts are, the faster they reproduce. A single nest can give birth to dozens and dozens of them, how can this work? If this continues, the Dark Forest won’t even be enough to feed them. That’s why it’s necessary to kill and eliminate the weak. Reduce the numbers. ……”
Linley understood in his heart.
If the rat-like magical beasts were allowed to develop. I’m afraid that the entire Dark Forest could be eaten up. The number that was definitely going to be controlled.
“So bebe.” The purple and gold colored Rat King ‘Harvey’ wrapped his small paw around Bebe’s shoulder and said intimately, “You can go ahead and use these rats, it’s okay if more die, the rat-type magical beasts in our Forest of Darkness must be kept within a certain number. Sooner or later, those weak rat-like magical beasts are going to die.”
Linley also sighed in his heart.
No wonder there were so many level 5, level 6, level 7, high level magical beast rats in this rat colony, it turned out that the weak ones had been eliminated a long time ago. Those gray stone devouring rats, black stone devouring rats. Probably rats that were still in their formative years.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely complete your mission and let a large portion of these rats die.” Bebe hemmed and hawed, then he looked at Linley, “Boss …… why don’t we use these rats to unify the Collar of Chaos?”
“Unify the Collar of Chaos?”
Linley was slightly stunned, then smiled.
“My lord, the two enemy leaders are escorted here.” Only Vespert and Gilmer were escorted over.
“Gilmer?” Linley looked at Gilmer, this was an old acquaintance.
Gilmer struggled to squeeze out a smile in front of Linley, who smiled faintly, “You Illuminati and Dark Clerics have really pushed me hard enough this time, because of the agreement that I was not allowed to make a move even as I watched the battle go on.”
Gilmer and Vespert’s hearts were trembling at the moment.
“It’s fine, I’ll let you Dark Clerics and Light Clerics have a taste of this as well.”
Linley looked towards Bebe and smiled, “Bebe, from today onwards, you’ll join forces with Barker and the others, have the rat packs and human armies set out together, split into ten teams, and start attacking the other territories of the Dark Cleric and Light Cleric in the Domain of Chaos.”
“Yes, I, Bebe, will definitely do it.” Bebe purposely shied his small chest and gave a very substandard military salute.
Barker’s eyes were also glowing, “Don’t worry, Lord Linley, with these hundreds of millions of rats, unifying the Territory of Chaos will be a breeze.” Now that the most elite Dark Legion and Sacred Legion of the Order of Light and Darkness had been exterminated, what could stop the rat swarm?
Gilmer and Vespert’s faces turned white.
The duo looked at each other with horror in their eyes, they could completely imagine what was about to happen.
Year 10022 of the Yulan Calendar, September.
Historically known as the ‘Rat Tide Scourge’, the war began, hundreds of millions of rats were divided into ten parts, these ten ‘sub-rats’ still had the terrifying number of tens of millions, and each ‘sub-rat group ‘ and the Baruch Kingdom’s twenty thousand warriors acted together.
Hundreds of millions of rat-like magical beasts and two hundred thousand Kingdom warriors, divided into ten parts.
A total of ten units, each attacking the area controlled by the Dark Cleric and Light Cleric of the Domain of Chaos.
Eighth grade, ninth grade these higher magical beasts rats are understand human language, and Baruch Kingdom in some eighth grade, ninth grade strong man, there are some are with the powerful magical beasts rats to conclude a soul contract. With this …… it is easier to manage the rat herd.
Rat tide, unstoppable!
When the rat tide came, even though the boulders were dropped to die, the stone eating rats and shadow rats that used stones as food could easily bite a big hole in the city wall, and then rush into this city as if it was a flood. The defenders of those cities were simply unable to resist.
Wherever the tide of rats passed, the city was conquered.
Even the Holy Legion and the Darkness Legion were instantly annihilated, a terrifying rat tide, who could stop it?
I’m afraid that this ‘Rat Tide Scourge’ war could only be compared to the ‘Day of Destruction’ in the 10,000th year of the Yulan Calendar. And this time and the ‘Day of Destruction’ is also different, the difference is that …… this time the boundless rat tide of the earth is completely listening to Linley’s side of the control.
This news was quickly known by the O’Brien Empire, the Yulan Empire, and other major powers on this continent.
Similarly, this intelligence news, also frantically toward the headquarters of the Dark Church, the Church of Light, the Church of Light, the Church of Darkness and what will be the reaction? After all,…… Linley hadn’t sent any Holy Realm experts to participate in the war this time, but only a magical beast army.
Although, the number of this magical beast army was too appalling.
