The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 695 - 377: Siege

A tattered tent.

A few rats scuttle around inside.

Some are dressed in ragged black robes, others wear relatively decent armor.

Undoubtedly, their attire signifies a high status among the rat pack.

"Why? Why, why?"

A rat asks, shrill and agitated.

"Stop clamoring, shut up, yes, shut up!"

The rat in a torn black robe says while studying the map on the table.

"The long-tailed things want to run out? But then returned, there’s reinforcements?

This direction, this direction, yes, yes."

The direction for reinforcements and fleeing is quite easy to discern.

Shecui City, as the only city in front of Blue Sky Harbor, when Blue Sky Harbor escapes crisis.

Should any issue arise in Shecui City, the first choice for escape, without doubt, is towards Blue Sky Harbor.

It’s precisely because they’re moving head-on that reinforcement and fleeing forces collide at such coincidental timing.

"There, it annoys the rodents; we failed there, a great enemy, great enemy!"

Blue Sky Harbor’s defeat has been some time ago, there’s no way all the rats were exterminated; most fled during the collapse.

Information within the city had already spread among the rat pack.

They are naturally aware.

"Why? Why? Where did their people come from? We destroyed their food, they should be starving, no strength when starving!"

The same rat voices again from the side.

Clearly, his origin should be Blue Sky Harbor, and he likely witnessed the battle there.

"Calm down, fool! The rodents reign supreme!"

The black-robed rat knocks over with a broken stick.

The strike causes the emotionally charged rat to squeak in pain.

But it seems to indeed calm him down.

"Human things are not frightening, rodents reign supreme!"

"Yes, yes, you’re right."

As the discussion progresses.

Brash attacks have been removed from their plans.

No choice.

In their current command level, quite a few have experienced the battle at Blue Sky Harbor.

After all, post-Blue Sky Harbor’s defeat, many fleeing rats joined their team.

These rats naturally harbor fear towards Kana and some Night Watchers.

And this fear among rats triggers a chain reaction.

The leadership is keenly aware.

If these rats mix into their forces and panic upon facing Kanash, it’s doomed.

Direct confrontation with Kana, resisting or even stopping him is not among the options for these rats.

After all, the quality of forces attacking Shecui Harbor compared to those attacking Blue Sky Harbor are entirely different levels.

Among the leadership, quite a few rats already want to retreat.

But the rodents reign supreme.

Neither tribal orders nor the rodents’ divine will allow them to flee disgracefully.

"We have many rats, encircle, just encircle.

Let the rats burn their food, destroy their homes, steal their children!"

In the end, such strategies are the only orders given.

...

The Night Watcher takes over the city’s defense with the rat-catching team.

At this point, there’s no choice but to take over, given nearly all of Shecui Harbor’s forces have been wiped out.

"Come, line up, food distribution!"

The rat-catching team members and Night Watchers organize a team in the city to distribute food.

Fleeing and returning had already pushed the panic among the following civilians to the limit.

Now, the sudden establishment of order and stable food supply can greatly calm their inner fear.

After the siege is broken, recruiting forces among the civilians in Shecui City will be necessary.

Unlike humans, many races are almost all militaristic.

One thing must be acknowledged.

Humans are the source of all these mixed races, naturally for humanoid races.

If the direction of change is less than humans, then it has no meaning.

Thus, most humanoid mixed races possess an all-militaristic nature.

However, there are exceptions.

Like Half-Elves, and such variations allow non-militaristic races to have talents in logistics or other areas.

Like now, the food distribution is done by the Night Watcher’s Half-Elves.

"Can we take these back?"

A Snake-man refugee looks at the food in his basket with disbelief.

Because this food... is too good.

Even in peacetime, he might not afford or buy this quality of food.

"Yes, quickly take it, hunger is uncomfortable.

Don’t worry, eat well, of course ensure no waste."

"Thank you, thank you."

Observing the scene.

The rat-catching team organizing order couldn’t help remark, "You Night Watchers really have abundant supplies."

"Without perfect logistics, it’s not enough to support our world defense." The Night Watcher next to him smiles, unable to hide the pride on his face.

The rat-catching members nod in envy.

The Night Watchers are just like that, placing the best on display.

It’s hard not to be attracted to these people.

Considered as open strategies.

On the city wall.

Kana is watching the outside situation with Sweet.

Looking out, it’s filled with swarming rats, surrounding the city in groups.

The sheer number is headache-inducing.

Sweet, a tactical master of the Night Watchers.

At the current stage, tactical masters are very rare within the Night Watchers.

And Sweet is even a veteran amongst the Night Watchers.

Of course, compared to most Night Watchers.

Sweet joined the Night Watchers during the period resisting the Blood Race at Giant Rock Fortress.

With the fortress’s downfall, he followed Kana and others back to Eastern Wilderness, then joined.

Relying on experiences and knowledge as an officer in the fortress, plus later effort and learning, he became one of the earliest tactical masters within the Night Watchers.

This time he’s leading the Light Guardian forces on Lebia Continent.

"Can you tell anything?" Kana asks.

In military matters, Kana isn’t very knowledgeable.

So, he seldom meddles in the Light Guardian’s offensives and strategies.

"According to the situation we’ve just heard, these rats should seize this opportunity to attack, hinder our respite.

But now they’re not, there must be a certain problem.

I suspect this rat troop contains many we repelled at Blue Sky Harbor before.

Recently, I’ve studied these rats’ behavior, having wildness, they also resemble beasts to some extent.

Such as difficulty overcoming the shadow of fear, instinctively evading."

Hearing this, Kana nods slightly.

"My suggestion is, they might be delaying our time.

Otherwise, they should retreat now, as they’ve likely seen you."
