Chapter 1454: The Defensive Line’s Collapse (1/2)
The sea of Goldbiter Rats spread as far as the eye could see They perhaps numbered in the billions, compared to the tens of thousands of men in the northern alliance
It hardly seeulf between both sides was overwhel the defensive perimeter, the northern alliance would have collapsed already
But even so, they were backs against the wall, tottering on the brink of defeat There was little suspense to ould happen if the rats could open a single gap in their ranks Carnage would ensue, pure and simple
Each warrior was an elite who’d experienced life and death on the battlefield It was readily apparent the dire straits they were in The northern alliance boasted of a considerable elite force, but they were entirely overshadowed and drowned by the endless waves of Goldbiter Rats
True, the great emperors couldn’t be underestie into a bloody mess But those were paltry losses for the endless ocean of beasts Atte to kill theroup died, another batch was ready to replace it And further behind, even er to enter the fray
Like a deluge battering a creaky da
“Ah!” A cultivator shouted in anguish As a slight weaknesses appeared in his defensive range, rats instantly swar until only bones were left
This tiny gap soon became an enormous hole in the defensive system as more and more rats poured inside
Two, three
Physically and mentally exhausted, cultivators fell one after another, beco rat food Their miserable shrieks filled the air
The smell of blood made the Goldbiter Rats even ed forward like the flood crashi+ng through broken dikes, gaining space bite after bite, sing any creature in their paths
In the blink of an eye, they subed several hundred cultivators as they pummelled the immediate defensive circle, then spread out to tear the defensive systes, “We can’t hold it any longer Run for your lives!”
As if possessed, theinto escape rays shooting into the air The fastest a them barely reached the safety of the sky, but the rest suffered ainto the air like cannonballs, countless rats pounced on the them back down to earth And then, only horror awaited theether!”
“It’s our only chance! We’re dead meat otherwise!”
The so-called northern alliance wasn’t a true, solid alliance Rather, it was a simple mob unified by common interest This i death In fact, it’d only held on for so long thanks to wariness of Pillzenith and his show of strength when subduing those lacking resolve
But when facing the rats’ onslaught, the fear he inspired could no longer stop the disintegration of the defensive line The once coordinated ranks had broken down into small isolated pockets
Pillzenith couldn’t attend to every area, but even if he could, he would be powerless to stop the It was human instinct to run from death
More and more cultivators took to the skies
So and could fly as well Those who could charged back and forth in the air, forOnly, most rats weren’t at that level Their concentration in the air was much lower than on land
Hence, even as ed to slip away, deserting the battlefield without a glance back as soon as they left the coon bri lord, quite a few fish have slipped through our net It’s time for Veluriyam’s force to shi+ne”
The nu hied ahead in his i Chen shook his head with a small ser fish to fry You can’t slaughter all tens of thousands of them It’s fine if we leave some small fry a way out”
