Who is stronger, man or rat? At first glance, it seems that there is no need to discuss at all. Rat man symbolizes faster reproduction, stronger physical fitness, more cunning and cruelty. By contrast, their photophobic nature is not a weakness at all, because humans don''t perform much better in the dark than rodents in the sun, do they? So at the beginning of the plague, a large number of rodents could easily sweep through all the human settlements they met, until they had to face the most powerful human trait, adaptability.


    We always say that cockroaches are the most living creatures in the world. They can survive in almost all kinds of extreme conditions. But when we say that, do we ignore ourselves? Humans may not be inferior in adaptability. Compared with ordinary creatures that need to evolve and change themselves through generations of reproduction, human beings adopt a different way to integrate into the new living environment. In the words of dwarves and elves, this is where humans have no bottom line. In order to survive, we can ignore tradition and take it for granted.


    When the enemy in the dark exposed their bodies in the sun, people gradually recovered from the initial panic. In accordance with the characteristics of their enemies, they set up a series of traps to observe the weakness of their enemies. At the same time, the soldiers also realized that their lightweight bodies made their bones more fragile than that of humans, so more and more strike weapons, such as edge hammers and flail, replaced the clumsy spears and became the standard equipment for the anti rat troops.


    Through the study of soldiers killed by rodents, the armorists found out where they used to attack, and a large number of protective devices were made and used to protect the neck and joints. The large shield originally used to resist bows and arrows was also disassembled into small flexible round shields or leather covered shields.


    But even so, human beings are not inferior in the battle with rat people, and there is still some gap between them. However, human beings have the advantages that rat people do not have, or the advantages that native rat people do not have, omnivorous. From the very beginning, the carnivorous nature of rodents has brought them great hidden dangers. When the first stage of the plague infection is completed, most human beings can not be transformed into new rodents, but are directly eaten. Although the later rat humans have a certain degree of reproductive capacity, the physical quality of the born rat humans is even worse than that of human beings.


    Time is on the human side. If the plague of rat and man can spread out without restraint, it''s good to say that there are a large number of all kinds of living creatures for rat people to eat and transform in the wider land south of Cangshi. However, due to the cold weather of the grey lion, rat people can not travel without energy storage. They must eat regularly to ensure their physical activity. However, with all human beings hiding in the solid walls, the survival of rat people becomes very difficult. They don''t have enough food to survive, let alone spend energy to reproduce.


    This was especially obvious after the two major battles of Wangdu and molten iron. When too many troops were gathered, they did not get the corresponding food. The whole human beings of the Cang lion found that the rat people''s community began to disperse. More and more rat people chose to leave the army and act alone, which made it easier for them to feed themselves. It''s easier to be hunted by humans.


    Marcus followed Atticus out of the tent. In the morning sun, a large number of flags symbolizing aristocratic status fluttered in the morning light, and on the top of those flagpoles, there were different numbers of rat heads. Some of the more radical aristocrats even chose to peel off the mouse man''s fur and paint their own family emblem on it instead of the cloth flag. This adds a bit of brutality to the whole coalition camp. The king''s hand frowned and whispered, "look around us. I can''t tell who is the original side."


    "These booty can inspire soldiers. When it comes to fighting the rat man, fear is the biggest enemy. " The iron Knight understood what Marcus was talking about, but as a general, he knew that there was nothing wrong with the aristocratic incentives. You should know that most of the soldiers in this camp are not professional soldiers. Many nobles almost drained the male survivors of their territory in order to gain a voice in the coalition army. And for these temporary recruits to work, at least let them overcome their timidity.


    "With faith, there is no fear. It''s necessary to use these things to prevent people from fleeing. I don''t think the grey lion army is like this. " The king''s hand gave a cold snort. He is right. As a grey lion ruled by chivalry, the Lords in the past were more inclined to use virtue, loyalty and glory to boost their morale than bloody booty. They would choose to stand with the soldiers, wear robes with family emblems, and take body as the flag.


    "Times are different, my little friend. For monsters, we don''t need virtue and morality. Their blood is not even worthy of being stained on the flag Said the chief knight, and began to walk outside the barracks. Marcus followed with a scepter, but the expression on his face clearly said that he did not agree with Atticus''s point of view, and that the barbaric decorations would only make him sick.


    In the early morning, the barracks were quiet and silent, and only a few tents drifted out of the smoke. This was the army cook preparing breakfast. The two men crossed the narrow road between the tents and walked out of the wooden fence. They saw a small campfire on the shady side of the hillside beside the camp. An old elf with extremely strong hair snored on his stag companion. His beard curled and expanded with the air flow."Please stop." Two young elves in leather armour, holding short bows, rose from the bushes on both sides of the camp and said to visitors. And more eyes, from other places to look at the two people.


    "Is this the man you say can cure my headache? But I heard that... " Marcus was somewhat surprised when he saw the elves. He had not participated in the war with the elves. His knowledge of these neighbors was limited to the paintings in books. Although he also got the news that a large number of elves appeared in the city of molten iron, he knew that the iron Knight would not allow the elves to get involved in the internal affairs of the grey lion.


    "We don''t accept the help of the elves. But if a wise man is willing to help us in his own name, we have no reason to refuse, right? " Atticus stretched out his hand, and his expression was relaxed as if the two short bows pointing at him did not exist at all. After explaining with the king''s hand, the Grand Knight raised his head to the two covetous elves and said, "I''ve come to seek the green staff, hoping that he can cure my friend."


    The two elves looked at each other, and they didn''t know whether to let the human approach the elder. After all, mlose gave them orders not to allow the green wand to take any damage. But a sparrow flew out of Atwood''s thick hair, flew over the elves'' heads, circled over their heads, and landed on Marcus'' shoulder. Seeing this, the guard had to put away the weapon.


    "The elderly would like to see you."
