My Players Are So Fierce – Handsome dog Frank

Chapter 2493 - 832: Insolent Bastards, This Place Has an Owner! Don’t You Know to Knock Before Entering?

The birth of the Ratman hasn’t been long.

According to the investigation of the clues exposed by Murphy and the players regarding the Scholar Faction, the real breakthrough in biological experimentation on Ratman basically happened around the time Explorer Kant joined the Scholar Faction, which is less than ten years ago.

Excluding the preparation time needed to perfect the genetic blueprint, the actual appearance of Ratman as a whole is probably less than three years, yet this creature, which can’t even be called "civilization," has already accomplished many "great deeds."

The destruction of Shadow Elf Mejewa City was indeed their handiwork, and the fall of Black Flame Mountain Pass is intricately linked with the Ratman. Now, they’re completing their third objective as a biological weapon, charging into the ruins of Brass Fortress, slaughtering the resistant Brass Dwarves to open the path for the Army of Dark Disaster to the Ligurian Peninsula.

This task is not an easy one.

Although the Brass Dwarves first lost their god and then their city and lord, and also suffered considerable losses in the fall of the fortress, their population numbers are still substantial. Even in these desolate ruins, the number of surviving dwarves is undoubtedly not less than 1.5 million.

The God of Wealth fulfilled His promise.

When Brass Fortress collapsed during the geological shifts of eons, those dwarves holding wealth barely survived, apart from the truly unfortunate ones who were crushed and fell to their deaths. As a clan, the Brass Dwarves didn’t perish completely due to the collapse of a mountain.

Now, the number of Ratman attacking the fortress ruins doesn’t even reach 150,000, even if they die one for one, they can’t obliterate the dwarves here. Moreover, with the Ratman’s poor individual combat quality, they’ll have to pay a higher price to take down a single dwarf.

However, war isn’t just about mere paper data comparisons; the morale and organizational capacity of the Brass Dwarves have already disappeared.

Faced with the Berserker Ratmen continuously charging out from all corners of the ruins, they can do very little, except for the Ironheart Warriors who continue fighting, other dwarves’ bleak situation is well described as futile resignation.

However, the situation is slightly better at the front of the ruins.

Lord Paryen and Old Edward are defending here and have organized a group of dwarves to stand firm against the attacks, preventing the Ratmen from breaking through the front entrance.

This battle has also attracted many remaining dwarves to join, in the face of such life-and-death situations, even the downtrodden can burst forth with amazing survival power if led by an excellent commander.

The best part is that the one leading this group of downtrodden fellows is none other than the vampire’s Millennium Lord, the most outstanding commander and top-tier master on the Continent.

As for Old Edward, this guy in full swing has already gone on a killing spree.

Duke Wolfsbane fights mercilessly on the dust-covered unfamiliar land, slaughtering every Ratman that approaches him without the dignity of a powerful being, each move resulting in terrifying damage, and he alone stands as an unyielding bastion.

Faced with the power of the Golden One, the Ratmen are basically shattered at a touch.

As the lord said earlier, give Old Edward enough time, he alone could kill from one end of the Dark Mountain Range to the other, crushing every life he encounters without feeling an iota of fatigue.

This is because Old Edward possesses a rather unique Golden Extraordinary Law · Blood Hunter.

As long as the opponent has blood flowing through them, Duke Wolfsbane can continuously restore his energy during the fight; this restoration is comprehensive, not only keeping the body and muscles at intensely rigorous activity without causing fatigue but even alleviating mental exhaustion.

The continuous stimulation of fresh blood keeps Old Edward in a significant state of "combat stimulation."

Murphy knew this set of swordsmanship was for group attacks when learning Wolf’s Kiss Swordsmanship Skill, and paired with Duke Wolfsbane’s unique power, trying to overwhelm him with numbers is sheer folly. The only way to defeat Old Edward is through direct duels, where one-on-one could minimize the impact of Blood Hunter.

However, Old Edward’s expertise in close combat is even more extravagant than Lord Paryen, and without employing the Holy Spear Eternal Silence, only the Secret Blood Grand Duke Constantius, skilled in Spiritual Energy, could assure victory against him in the past thousand years.

But on a darkly humorous note, Old Edward’s true lifelong enemy is indeed Grand Duke Sallokdar of the Blood Vulture Clan.

Not because Murphy’s clan leader is stronger, purely because Sallokdar’s flying ability is simply OP, while Old Edward’s short wings are apparently not adept at aerial combat. In short, with an enraged Duke Wolfsbane present here, the worst the Brass Dwarves could manage is to leave behind some Blood Descendants.

However, after more killing, Old Edward is the first to sense something amiss.

He seems to have an endless stream of Ratmen before him, but they are rapidly retreating. Edward is sure, this isn’t solely because of his bravery breaking the Ratmen’s morale; he witnessed a Ratman with a crude bone weapon charging at him, yet it froze as if struck by lightning in a moment.

He saw in its little eyes the flickering emotions that had no deep gaze, mostly filled with confusion.

It seems that suddenly it didn’t know what to do, even though the enemy was right in front.
