Eternal life begins with saving my clan-Chapter 308: Barren Landers, the bane of Earth Eating Rats
Just as the barren land defeated the two sealed demons, at the border of the 36th state.
The Earth-Eating Rats were destroying everything in their path.
Before the arrival of the Earth-Eating Rats, the Gray Pagoda state had built a garrison at the border.
The Garrison had over one hundred thousand Barren Land soldiers. Moreover, the news about the attack of the Earth-Eating Rats had been relayed to the public together with the fact they could watch the battle.
Each of the city squares in the Gray Pagoda state had Spirit Image Crystals displaying the live event of the scene happening at the border.
Gathered at each city square were thousands of people watching the battle unfold before their eyes.
Everyone knew the terror of the Earth-Eating Rats, but the new power only deployed one hundred thousand of their soldiers.
How could they defend against the Rats?
Most of the people believed the new power was not serious about the safety of the people. Yet, they couldn't voice their complaints publicly.
When the Earth-Eating Rats were only a thousand meters from the garrison.
The one hundred thousand barren lands soldiers came out of the barracks.
They marched in perfect sync, holding long dark spears. Each of them was in a strange-looking armor.
After marching for a hundred meters, they halted and split into four legions.
The commander of the four legions was Xi, one of the brightest youngsters in the Barren Land army.
With a look of anticipation on his face, Xi shouted. "Red Vanguard, Battle formation."
The legion with the red armband marched forward with a cold deadly gaze.
With the Red Vanguard taking their position, everywhere was silent like a graveyard.
The rapid incoming of the Earth-Eating Rats reverberated from the distance.
Those watching in the city held their breath in panic and anticipation. They all wanted to see how they were going to destroy the Earth-Eating Rats.
On the battlefield, Xi could feel the tremor under his boots and the corner of his lips curled upward.
"Red Vanguard. Attack!" His voice reverberated in the air.
Instantly, the Red Vanguard moved. They swung their spears all at the same time.
However, instead of attacking forward, their attack was toward the ground.
Bangs.
The ground before them was split open, and they jumped into the crack.
Watching their bizarre action, everyone watching the battle was confused.
Why are they not launching an attack at the rats?
Are they preparing to ambush the rats?
They were confused by their battle strategy, but since they couldn't do anything, they continued to watch the battle.
Just as the people were waiting for the beasts and the humans to clash.
They heard a deafening sound from the crack made by the Red Vanguard and was followed by the shriek of rats.
The battle had begun.
Since the major ability of the Earth-Eating Rats was to drill into the ground, the mission of the Red Vanguard was to force them to the surface.
To others, this might be an impossible mission, but as a Barren Lander. The mission was quite easy.
With their bloodline, Elemental-Blood Suppression. They could suppress any element as long as it was in their range.
The most potent one was the blood suppression.
They could feel and suppress any blood in the vicinity, and thus, they could feel the Earth and Blood element of the Earth-Eating Rats.
Whoosh!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Red Vanguard attacked at once. The ground trembled, and all the Earth Rats were sent flying out of their tunnel.
Before they could get close to the Red Vanguard, they were sliced into two.
The Rats squeaked in confusion; some of them tried to burrow deep into the ground only to find out their bodies were not in their control.
The battle had only just started, and the Red Vanguard had killed thousands of Earth Rats.
Watching the massacre, everyone watching the battle was stunned. The previous state Governor had his jaw dropped to the ground. Likewise, was the Prefecture Lords.
The terrifying Earth Rats that had been giving them headaches for centuries had suddenly turned into fish on the chopping board.
How was that even possible?!
Many did not believe what their eyes saw, but they knew it was the truth.
Slowly, they began to realize the new power was not like any other they read or known before.
On the battlefield, with the continuous massacre of the Earth Rats in the crack. The Earth Rats began to change their strategy and did not burrow into the ground.
With their menacing claws, they dashed forward, hoping to reach their destination.
Watching the incoming rats, a smile appeared on Xi's face.
"Yellow Vanguard, take your position." He shouted.
With reverberating heavy footsteps, the Yellow Vanguard took their position. A couple of meters from the Red Vanguard.
"Attack!"
Whoosh!
Immediately, the Yellow Vanguard rushed forward to welcome the incoming Earth Rats.
With a single thrust of their spears, thousands of Earth Rats fell to their weapons.
Moreover, they did not stop moving forward. They continued to venture deep into the horde of Earth Rats.
Just as the Yellow Vanguard joined the battle, the Green Vanguard was launched.
They began to hunt any stray Earth Eating Rats that somehow managed to escape from the two Vanguard.
With the three vanguard deployed, the Earth-Eating Rats were being killed from every angle.
The Earth Rats could not be associated with the infamous terror of the human race.
They tried using their bloodline abilities, but it was futile. In the presence of the Barren Landers, they were nothing but ordinary rats.
Previously, their overwhelming population would have sent the state into panic, but now.
They were reducing at an alarming rate.
Just as the three vanguard were on a killing spree, Xi, their commander, received a warning.
'Intruder alert, more hostiles detected.'
'Prepare for battle with an unknown group.'
Immediately, he received the warning. His expression changed, and he called the last group while also sending the warning to his men.
Far behind the horde of Earth-Eating Rats, there were thousands of men and women riding a massive Earth-Eating Rat.
