The battlefield swept by artillery and large-caliber firearms is much more shocking than a simple duel with cold weapons.

Limbs, minced meat, and the aroma of roasted flesh and blood, there was no complete corpse to be seen on the ground.

The remaining 3,000 gnolls chose to surrender. This was exactly the high-quality cannon fodder that Ictor wanted.

It is difficult for a jackal who has experienced the rain of bullets to feel any resistance again.

The ratmen of the first battalion were responsible for escorting and guarding the prisoners of war, while Ictor led the remaining troops directly into Eyjafala.

The newly harvested food of the jackals was swept away by Ict, the ornately decorated temple was demolished by the rat people, and even the golden nose rings on the statues were plundered by the soldiers.

The army smashed, looted, and burned in this temple city wantonly, but they did not see any divine punishment from the sun god they believed in.

Ictor sat directly on the high priest's exclusive gilded throne and listened to the report of the rat men.

"Clan Chief, the troops suffered a total of nine casualties in this battle, two of which were killed by friendly artillery, and the other seven had their ears shattered by rifles."

Targaryen Hui reported that after all-round improvements in weapons, the First Army easily achieved an epic victory.

Usually, the territory will arrange a special field activity, and obviously, Baleka's mission is included in this.

After Ramsi finished speaking, he ordered the rat to bring in the completely transformed Baleka. The rat's limbs were all tied up with ropes, its eyes had turned white, and the whole body exuded the aura of death.

"He won't take the initiative to bite people?"

"But now it seems that his mission failed. With such a strange situation, we are almost certain that Baleka and the mages who acted with him were captured by the underground people and transformed into zombies by them."

"According to the scheduled plan, Baleka should now perform the mission together with Master Florin."

Lemsi signaled the house rats to prepare for the demonstration, and several operators untied the ropes from Baleka's body.

The relevant information was quickly compiled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the report given by Lemshi was that the person in charge of the unrestricted tunnel warfare in this rat territory was the three-star operator Baleka.

Targaryen sighed, he was indeed the leader of the clan, he thought of the problem with both evil and foresight.

"In addition to our casualties, we also liberated about 500 human slave workers from the Jackal city, which is just right to fill up the industrial chain.

In terms of prisoners of war, a total of almost 8,000 jackals have been gathered, 3,000 of them are old, weak, women and children, clan leader, what should I do with these useless guys?"

But things are different for jackals. In addition to some jackals who have gained power, many villains who are obsessed with profit also take the opportunity to rise to power.

However, in the last month of the army's preparations for war, some not-so-good news came from underground.

"Uh-huh."

"I understand, clan leader."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has made a final investigation into the espionage activities in the territory. The activities of the spies have been greatly weakened, and the time has come to attack the underground.

At least, the food seized by Ikot from the Forest Kingdom was really abundant. Together with the corpses collected on the battlefield, the jackals all had meat to eat.

After all, it will rot if you don't eat it. Iket just wants to waste less storable food.

The enslavement of the gnolls was carried out in an orderly manner. Although the gnolls were tortured mentally, they were also compensated physically.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is obviously more skilled in this aspect, so Targaryen also requested the Ministry of Internal Affairs to cooperate with this operation. Lemsi seconded some of the levy corps to supplement the Ministry of Internal Affairs' scarce rat power. The traitor plan was among the prisoners.

Popular.

The other party offered a very high price, a full five hundred gold coins, and after careful consideration, Iket sold more than thirty of them.

A zombie came from the underground to the rat-controlled area.

The remaining gnolls will be treated as ratmen to be eaten or raised by others. This is normal in Windsor.

As for whether to replenish them as jackals after the battle or cut them down directly, it depends on the demand at that time.

Ramsey wondered, for reasons of confidentiality, most of the mages hired to come to the territory had little background. Windsor would recruit them afterwards. If they did not comply, specialized agents would go to "solve the problem."

”.

"Keep it, it's useful."

"After being transformed into zombies, the ratmen seem to have lost their ability to communicate." Lemshi explained from the sidelines.

Artillery can eliminate risks from a thousand meters away, which is something that many spells cannot do.

As the saying goes, a piece of insurance is a piece of insurance. In order to prevent the jackals from defecting on a large scale on the battlefield, it is necessary to control their families first.

In comparison, Rat Rat, who would throw two pieces of jackal meat jerky into the fence from time to time, seemed approachable.

The army returned to Windsor with a large number of gnolls. Many merchants wanted to try to buy some fresh gnoll slaves. It was said that a noble lady in a certain territory needed them.

Targaryen showed a ruthless expression when he said this. 5,000 gnolls were enough as cannon fodder, and any more would be a waste of food.

They do almost all evil, and with the tacit consent of the rat people, they can take any cruel action against their own kind without fear of punishment.

Ickert’s attitude towards this is:

"No, but if ordered, Baleka can show aggression, and he also has certain balance and path-finding abilities."

Iket also walked up to the zombie rat. It was strange that Baleka did not show any tendency to attack humans.

This move also allowed the gnoll cannon fodder to gain some physical strength, allowing them to exert more strength in future battles.

Not even a single rat died at the hands of the gnolls. The troops' range advantage was too great. Neither the gnolls' bows, arrows or spells could reach such a long distance.

The gnolls, who were originally full of hatred for the rat-men, suddenly transferred their hatred to the jackals. They are even more ruthless than the rat-men!

At most, the rats would skin the jackals and cook them to eat. In their eyes, the jackals were just a kind of food.

He definitely hopes to put all these people to death, but he doesn't know what the clan leader thinks.

Money! Wine! Power! Let’s recruit them to be jackals first and let them bully those jackals instead of us. We will also wait for the battle to end before settling the accounts!”

You'll even get rewards.

"Targaryen, you need to further organize these gnolls. Those who have no relatives will be placed in the vanguard camp. Those who have relatives in our hands will hold the line in the rear. You must also pay attention to distinguishing some prestigious gnolls.

"Clan leader, please look at this."

Lemsi stepped forward and gave the zombie rat a shove.

The zombie rat staggered for a while, but finally managed to steady itself.

"This is much smarter than the undead wandering in the wilderness."
