Mice dominate the dungeon

As Twitch finished speaking, a dense magical energy, carrying a special power, spread from the base camp throughout the entire mouse park.

[Territory Expansion - Enhancement Bonus]:

Lord: Gain 100% all-around enhancements while within the territory.

Under the Lord's command: All rats and buildings within the territory will receive a 50% overall enhancement.

The soldier rats in the park, exhausted from dealing with the burrowing ant attack, suddenly felt a surge of heat through their bodies. They could clearly feel a significant leap in their strength, speed, and stamina at that moment!

The new power allowed the soldier rats to no longer struggle against the swarms of burrowing ants, giving them space to catch their breath.

Twitch lowered his paws; in fact, he didn't need to do anything to use "Territory Deployment" on his own.

But that sense of ritual is still very important!

Although Twitch lowered his claws, his buff wasn't over yet!

Immediately, the territory panel was brought up, and three pale gold cards suddenly popped up on the current panel.

These three cards each display a different skill description:

[Straightforward and methodical]: Gain 25 attack power, and your attack speed becomes 0.63. All bonus attack speed is converted into attack power.

[Guilty Pleasure]: After participating in a kill, gain 100% movement speed and 15% total attack speed for 4 seconds.

[Vampiric Habit]: You can no longer be healed or have your life restored by allies, but you gain 80% omnipotent vampirism.

This is a territory technology that comes with the base. When Twitch uses "Territory Deployment", the territory panel will randomly give three powerful but short-lived technology talents.

After selecting a talent, it will be directly applied to all mice and buildings within the territory!

"I really want to select them all at once!" Twitch looked at the three territory technologies in front of him with great envy.

Finally, Twitch placed his claws on the [Guilty Pleasure].

The number of burrowing ants attacking the park has exceeded his expectations; he needs a technological talent capable of continuously reaping their lives!

With the arrival of the "guilty pleasure", the soldier rats found that after killing the burrowing ant queen, a somewhat uncontrollable sense of excitement erupted deep within their bodies.

This excitement made them run faster and swing their knives more fiercely!

This turned the originally passively defensive soldier rats into rats that ran like mad dogs, brandishing their knives and charging at the burrowing ants whenever they saw them!

Not only the soldiers and rats, but even defensive buildings started firing wildly!

In an instant, the cannon barrel turned completely red-hot...

Standing on his base, Twitch watched the mice's counterattack with satisfaction, then looked up at the direction of the Ant King.

"Hehehe~~" Twitch stuck out his little tongue and shook his head, saying, "Do you really think you're the only one who can add buffs?!"

------

When the ant king, who was behind the battlefield, found that the main force he had sent to invade the park had reached a stalemate with the soldier rats, he began to get restless.

The ant colony that is breaking through head-on is already on the verge of its own collapse in terms of casualties!

Even if it has amassed a large enough army of soldier ants, it cannot simply let its people die in vain!

Thinking this, the ant king took a step forward with its six legs, determined to personally go to the battlefield and turn the tide!

But just as the ant king took two steps, the small, gray, burrowing ant that had been staying beside it stretched out its mandibles and pulled it back forcefully.

On the ground where the Ant King was supposed to pass, a dark shadow carrying a sharp battle blade suddenly shot up from the ground, like a drill reaping lives!

The other burrowing ants scattered nearby returned to the queen ant and protected her.

The ant king, who had originally intended to reprimand the gray ants, suddenly changed his expression and stared intently at the figure that had fallen back to the ground, wielding a battle blade.

It was Korgan who had gotten very close.

Pity......

If the gray ants hadn't intervened, that attack, if it had landed on the ant queen's abdomen, would have severely injured her, if not killed her!

Korgan shook its head; it hadn't expected that there would be a burrowing ant in the colony with such keen senses.

Now that it has been discovered, there is no need to hide it anymore.

One by one, the soldier rats hidden underground emerged from the ground.

Digging isn't just something burrowing ants do; rats do it too!

Moreover, the Korgans don't need to dig existing tunnels.

Every inch of the natural cave has been explored by the soldier rats, who have dug countless hidden passages beneath the ground!

The secret tunnel they just took had already been dug out, so that they could sometimes attack monsters from both sides!

This is the home advantage!

Last time, when the anthill was attacked from a distance, Twitch was able to destroy the entire anthill with very few soldier rats!

Moreover, now!

Level up your character, upgrade your units, and unlock new units!

These reckless burrowing ants dared to trespass into his territory and confront him head-on.

This is like trying to light a lantern in an outhouse—purely courting death!

Twitch doesn't even know how he lost!

[Slash LV3]

Korgan swung his battle blade in a strange gesture, cleaving the burrowing ants that tried to block his way to death.

More than a dozen soldier rats formed a formation and slowly approached the ant king not far away!

Since a sneak attack failed, I'll just behead you head-on!

The guard ants on the battlefield learned that their king had been attacked and wanted to return to defend it.

But at this moment, the giant soldier rats that had been staying at the edge of the battlefield no longer hesitated and joined the center of the battlefield!

This made it impossible for the guard ants who wanted to protect the ant king to move an inch. They were held back on the battlefield by the giant soldier rats and could not leave.

The retreating ant king's expression grew increasingly grim; the soldier rat wielding the battle blade not far away was acting somewhat excessively bravely...

With the guard ants unable to return to defend, virtually no burrowing soldier ant can pose a real threat to it.

Besides personally getting involved...

The ant king looked at the gray ants beside him.

The gray ant pondered for only a few seconds before shaking its head.

It seemed that even if he could kill this soldier rat, it wouldn't help the overall situation at all... The Ant King sighed inwardly.

It had realized that the balance of power had completely tilted in favor of the rats!

No matter how unwilling they were to accept defeat, and how much they wanted to avenge their companions, their plan to wipe them out had already failed when the main force that had infiltrated the park could not break through successfully...

If we don't retreat now, and the rat soldiers in the park finish off their main force, plus that rat soldier's distraction, then I might very well be left here!

The king ant clenched its mandibles tightly, a feeling of humiliation spreading through its heart.

Finally, it slowly raised its antennae...

Just as the Ant King was about to give the signal to 'retreat,' a strange squeezing sound came from the wall of the natural cave.

The ant king involuntarily looked in its direction.

A bloated and ugly monster was seen pushing against the wall with its webbed arms, trying to pull itself out of the narrow passage.

With a wriggling motion, the monster successfully crawled out and landed in the cave.

The monster, with its four legs spread wide and landing smoothly, let out a joyful cry towards the ant and rat swarm:

"Croak!!"
