Chapter 68: There Are Bad Rats
Chapter 68 There is a bad rat
The first stage of work is to dig out the foundation of the diversion channel.
Iket first led the cave monitor through the predetermined water diversion route, applying magic along the way to loosen the top soil.
This process is actually the most time-consuming, because the cave dragon's magic power reserves are limited and it takes time to recover its magic power.
Fortunately, as a source of high magic pressure, Iket could directly inject magic power into it, so it didn't take too long.
The act of forcibly instilling magic power is very dangerous. If the pressure is not delivered correctly, it may cause damage to the magic power organs.
Fortunately, Ictor only uses the cave giant lizard as a consumable, and it can only be used for a year or two. By then, he will have tamed more monsters.
After completing the preparations, Iket commanded the cave monitor lizard to start pushing the canal.
Iket had to admit that it felt really good to ride a monitor lizard straight through the loose soil.
The speed of the cave monitor is not slow, and the soil that has been ravaged by magic has basically no resistance. The cave monitor moves through the soil as if it is swimming.
"It's Genil! Chief Genil is going to rebel! He plans to kill you with an evil plan!"
If Genil wanted to rebel, Ictor was worried that he wouldn't be able to withstand the backstabbing of other ratmen.
It saves him the trouble of instilling magic power to let the giant lizard walk to its territory.
But Ictor was determined to find out the specific situation and did not intend to kill the rat directly.
It really makes your blood pressure soar when your best general leads the most elite troops to rebel.
The monitor lizard looked at Iket pitifully. It was really not feeling well right now and could only barely walk. Its shaky appearance made people wonder if it would stop eating in the middle of the journey.
The cave monitor was speechless, so it had no choice but to give up its illusions and move on, trudging towards its territory with difficulty.
No matter how bad the lord is to him, at least he is still a human being!
Humans are not beasts. Humans are relatively kind, and monitor lizards often take advantage of human weaknesses to hunt.
"Let's go. Let's go quickly. Don't lose your strength and be unable to walk in a while."
"what happened?"
"Lord Lord! There is a rat running over there!"
After being away from the territory for so long, Iket was really worried about the situation in the territory.
But the real world is not a game. If the weak Geniel chooses to rebel, he will not be able to secure the position of clan leader. He is not the only one who can fight the Storm Rat within the clan.
"."
Ictor looked along the direction of the knight's attendant, and found that there was indeed a rat-man rolling and crawling in the field, followed by several rat-men chasing after it.
The team leader behind is about to move closer. When his escape is revealed, how will he survive?
At the critical moment, Shushu had a bad idea.
"Master, I really can't move. Can you restore some magic power to me?"
Although he had left behind a system to ensure the operation of the territory, the number of ratmen was too great, and it was not surprising that something happened to Iket.
"Yes, Master, I really don't have any drops left. I can only barely walk a few steps."
This rat is able to command a loving clan, all thanks to Iket's support.
"Yes, Lord Lord."
Geralt on the side was shocked when he heard this. There were nearly 500 ratmen, and they were all issued with weapons. What if it was the other way around?
"Please tell me clearly! Who is it? Who wants to rebel!"
The two knight attendants responded and immediately ran towards the slave rat.
Once the giant lizard runs out of magic power, it has to sleep all night to recover, so everyone doesn't have to be on guard against it.
"Tell me! Why are you running away!"
"Do you really have no magic left?"
And as if it had discovered traces of Iket and others, the slave rat immediately changed its direction and ran towards Iket as if desperately trying.
"Lord, it seems to be a deserter. What should I do? Do I want to kill it?"
The cave giant lizard pleaded that this request was reasonable. Ictor knew very well that a monster that has exhausted its magic power is like a human being who has overcharged his hands, and his body functions will be greatly affected.
And as far as the eye can see, the teams of the Love Education Camp are collecting the corpses of weeds according to Ictor's instructions, and the order is still relatively good.
Before the slave rat could react, the two attendants who ran up to rat rat picked him up, one on the left and the other on the right, and returned to the team.
"Don't kill him. Capture him for questioning first. Geralt, you go with him."
"What?"
Sure enough, just when Ictor and others walked on the dirt road back to the castle, the accompanying knight attendant spotted a running rat man at a glance.
He could only reluctantly accept the sugar cane fed by his subjects, and quickly regained his physical strength under the influence of sugar.
It's just that this is the effect that Iket wants
Ictor asked, looking up and down at the giant lizard in front of him with vigilant eyes.
Just in his previous life in the game, Iket had experienced the feeling of being betrayed by Shushu.
The team moved again.
The slave rat said this, and his words caused panic in the team.
Geralt directly drew out the steel sword and placed it on the neck of the slave Rat, which shocked the slave Rat. He was trembling and speechless.
Although it felt a little better than being punched to death, when he thought about how many more years this kind of life would last, the cave monitor felt that it would be better to die as soon as possible.
It looks like he is a slave rat. The clan rats of the Love clan are not so thin, and their clothes are enough to hide their shame.
The only drawback is that the cave monitor lizard will break off the stones and tree roots along the way, and these small gadgets will hit Iket in the face from time to time.
The attendant pressed the steel sword in his hand, somewhat eager to try it.
The chance that the rat people will rebel is not impossible, and it is quite high.
But it really doesn't want to regain its strength.
The overall depth of the trench is comparable to that of a monitor lizard, nearly half a meter deep, and its width is almost one meter.
You can't give it a fire punch every night.
He had no choice but to stop the monitor midway and put on his helmet before continuing to work.
"Lord, Lord Lord! They! Those clan rats! They want to rebel against you!"
Geralt's sword edge tightened the slave rat's grip, and he could kill him by slitting his throat with just one more step. The atmosphere was tense for a moment.
In the future, it will be arranged for the rat people to further repair and improve it, and finally realize the water connection.
But Ictor didn't quite believe the rat.
He finally overcame the fear of being caught by the lord and said:
But it's too late to say anything now, it has already signed the contract, and now the desire to survive has the upper hand.
But it didn't expect that after hearing what the monitor lizard said, Iket's eyes lit up.
That's bad, that's bad. I slipped out without telling the captain, but now I'm good, and I even alerted the lord!
At this point, the exhausted monitor lizard couldn't stand it anymore and fell to the ground with its belly turned.
One person and one lizard ran in the jungle until the afternoon. They completed the work around five o'clock and opened up channels all the way to the territory.
It is said that being close to the countryside brings love, but for Iket, the closer he gets to his territory, the more he is afraid of seeing a chaotic scene.
Everyone knows the Lord's scent. The scene of the Clawmark clan being slaughtered that day is still vivid in their minds. The mice will be afraid of being killed as soon as they smell the scent of the Lord.
The ditch pushed out by bulldozing lizards like this is not yet qualified, but as a prototype, it has greatly reduced the workload of the territory.
"You still have the strength to walk? That's great!"
It feels like a tank.
The sentinels of the castle are still standing guard, and even the smoke from the canteen has not stopped, as preparations for cooking are still being made.
If he really wanted to rebel, why would he let this slave rat escape and leak the news? How could the people who came to chase this rat be so small soldiers?
A clan rat and his slave rats. These rats are obviously from the same team.
Ratmen are just short-sighted, not actually stupid.
"Rat! Your lie is too clumsy! Geralt! Hold him down!"
