At the rear, upon receiving the report from his troops, the lord gritted his teeth and issued a risky order.
"Order the front-line troops to establish a defensive perimeter with a 500-meter radius centered on those tunnel exits. If any Ratmen appear, kill them on sight."
Upon receiving the order, the army immediately spread out, encircling the open ground around the earthen slope.
A moment later, a few Ratmen appeared out of thin air. They were instantly shot until they looked like pincushions.
Immediately after, more Ratmen appeared in succession, all meeting the same fate. Witnessing this, everyone's morale surged, and they attacked with even greater ferocity.
The Ratmen appeared in an endless stream, only to be killed just as quickly. To prevent a mountain of bodies from blocking their line of sight, the front-rank Blade and Shield Soldiers had no choice but to toss the corpses behind them.
