Mice dominate the dungeon

Damn it, he's actually getting smug!

When Twitch saw the status bar, his beard twitched, and he laughed in exasperation...

Then we turned our attention to racial talents.

He hadn't expected the beetle to have such a detection ability.

No wonder they were able to find the hidden scout rats; it turns out they didn't rely on conventional visual methods at all.

The giant slime beetle must have accidentally found the soldier rat by shaking its elytra.

Perhaps finding that there were too many, it summoned out the other giant slimy beetles hiding under the holes.

A barrage of firepower was launched against the reconnaissance rats...

It seems that these slimy beetles possess a certain level of intelligence, knowing how to band together and cooperate.

Fortunately, ordinary fire beetles do not possess the racial talent [elytra sound wave].

Otherwise, the scout rats' tracks would have been discovered long ago.

Twitch brought up the Fire Beetle's panel again and compared the data with this brand-new giant slime beetle.

Overall, the giant slime beetle is a fully enhanced version of the fire beetle.

The difference is that the [fire spray] on the fire beetle becomes [sticky spray] on the giant slime beetle.

How did they manage to create such a mutated behemoth in just two months?!

Fortunately, I was cautious!

In addition, Twitch had just ordered the soldiers to retreat en masse because he used the [Panel Marking Recapture Method] and roughly figured out the number of giant slime beetles by observing the size of the holes in the ground.

Approximately 8 to 10.

The upward fluctuation will not exceed 3.

The number of slime beetles was actually not as many as he had imagined...

Now that I've uncovered your secrets, don't blame me for being ruthless!

As Twitch finished gathering intelligence, the giant slime beetle in his sight began to blur, and the colors of the world dimmed.

The soldier rat he possessed was already on its deathbed...

------

Once all the scout rats had retreated, Twitch immediately turned his attention away from the beetle territory and began his pre-battle preparations!

Nearly ten scout rats were left inside the burrow by sticky residue.

Such a large number of beetles, coupled with their strange spying behavior, could easily arouse suspicion in a relatively intelligent beetle.

Twitch needs to hurry!

He will launch a distant expedition to subdue the beetles before they have fully reacted!

Twitch's consciousness rose, reaching the skies above the mouse park, overlooking the entire territory.

The barracks had undergone some minor changes compared to before.

The campfire, which was originally empty, now has a barbecue stick with a boiling pot on it.

When the appearance of the barracks changes, it means the upgrade is complete!

[LV15→LV20]

Originally designed to hold 40 soldier rats, now it can hold 60!

The two barracks are now large enough to hold 120 frontline soldier rats!

At this moment, hundreds of frontline soldier rats had gathered in the square near the two barracks!

Twitch had already mass-produced the new and upgraded Soldier Rats.

This is the benefit of having plenty of holy water!

They won't be stingy with elixir, nor will they consider cost-effectiveness or the appropriate number of troops!

All manufactured in advance!

When the park is in a state of war, you can directly assess the situation and adjust the number of troops accordingly!

After briefly considering the overall strength of the Beetle Tribe, Twitch began to arrange his troops.

15 brand new LV15 giant meat shield rats!

30 LV15 Archer Rats with upgraded skills + 65 LV15 Savage Infantry Rats!

And 10 level 15 Thief Rat soldiers to be used for exploring the holes later on!

The corresponding number of soldier rats entered the barracks one after another.

at the same time.

A soldier rat, which looks similar to an archer rat, just walked out of the [Nursing Corner].

On the way to the barracks, he pulled out a crown from somewhere and put it on his head!

When the Crowned Soldier Rat reached the front of the barracks, it swung its paw and carried the two barracks on its back!

------

Beetle tribe.

Compared to the bustling morning, the Beetle Tribe, which belongs to itself at night, is much quieter.

But unlike before.

The patrolling beetles, which had been somewhat lax before, not only became more diligent tonight, but their numbers also increased.

This is most likely an order issued by the tribal leader...

A beetle patrolling the passage suddenly disappeared as it passed through a shadow.

Before long, a squad of scout rats replaced him!

The two leading rats were soldiers.

One wears a crown, and the other has big ears!

When Big Ears returned to the mouse park with the scout mouse, they happened to run into the front-line mouse who were about to depart.

Big Ears was summoned by Twitch to lead the way again!

Traveling day and night, Big Ears ran back and forth, and returned to the edge of the Beetle Tribe once again.

Tucci rubbed his stomach; he had just eaten that group of beetles.

Twitch let out a small burp and quietly walked to the cave entrance.

There are currently many fire beetles on guard on the ground of the beetle tribe!

Much more wary than I imagined... Tucci thought to himself, marveling at the intelligence of the slimy beetle.

Tucci then ordered the other scout rats to remain in place.

Tucci did not rush to attack, but instead surveyed his surroundings.

The Beetle Tribe has four main entrances, hidden in the four directions of east, south, west, and north, seemingly with the intention of reaching the territories of its neighbors.

However, after two days of observation by the scout rats, it turns out that the beetles actually only frequently use the two areas to the west and south.

The other two appear to be trap tunnels dug to mislead the enemy...

Twitch is currently in the southern passage, which is also the main direction of the upcoming attack!

Ordinary beetles are nothing to fear; these little creatures are easy prey for the soldier rats—one slash, one arrow, one kill!

Meanwhile, the fire beetles, who are the main force, all gather in the holes underground in their tribe.

Without even scouting, Twitch knew that the terrain below was complex, and a direct attack would be arduous and unprofitable, completely detrimental to the performance of his rat army.

It's exactly the same as the ant nest I saw before...

But unlike ant nests, beetles are not directly exposed to the outside world and can be disposed of at will by Tucci.

Like this kind of underground building.

Even if the giant soldier rats were to elbow the ground, it might not be enough to break through the barrier even after a full cycle of elbow strikes!

We need to lure them all out!

Twitch drew several lines on the ground to represent the gathering route of the fire beetles as they emerged from their burrows, and then drew several crosses in the middle of the route.

This is to remind myself to pay attention to the timing of the Soldier Rat's entry!

Fire beetles are actually quite easy to deal with...

Giant slime beetle!

These guys are a bit tricky!

Furthermore, the daily routine and behavior of the giant slime beetle are still unclear, so it is highly unlikely that an opportunity will be found to ambush it.

After a brief moment of thought, Tucci abandoned the idea of ​​getting involved with these guys in a dirty game...

Anyway, the number isn't that large, he has plenty of ways to deal with it!

Twitch tucked his ears back and his eyes hardened.

Begin deploying troops!
