Chapter 1320: Roughscream\'s Bloodlust
"Roughscream, you are up to destroy that Outer Wall Campsite," Cinderclaw said as he sat on the new usurped throne that he and the rest of the Demon Rat Generals had achieved recently. It was approximately a few hours into the war as everything had settled into a stalemate. After the initial explosive act by the humans, the Demon Rats were able to pit evenly against them, causing them to stay within the Outer Town regions of the Northern Capital while the rats fortified the Inner walls as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the Demon Rats had been sending groups of soldiers wave after wave from various directions due to the secret passages they had created previously connecting the Inner Town with the Outer Town but the Pandarens preserved their surprise ambushes and continue to hold the ground, especially with the Outer Wall Camp assisting in their efforts.
Their seamless requests for artillery support allowed the Royal Zodiac Snake soldiers to polish their artillery skills as they gave more precise bombardments as time goes by. With their support, the Pandarens were able to cut the secret passages off and focus on defeating any Demon Rats that came about. However, the retaliation via the top of the Inner Walls was equally deadly. Most of the Demon Rats and Pandarens were using the houses and other building debris as cover from both sides and the battle was literally a zone of attrition.
Even though the Pandarens did not have the numbers against the Demon Rats, their constant reinforcement through the Outer Wall Camp had ensured that they did not lose too much ground against it. But it was a total nightmare for the new Pandarens despite it being a brand new experience for them. If not for the recovery instance that Jin had set up, he believed a lot of those Pandarens would have been scared by the \'realistic\' feeling of being in his dungeon instance.
But as time passed, the Pandarens were getting used to the attacks and even devised plans to destroy the elite Demon Rats when they were teleported into those kill zones. All of them thought it was part of the event and did not think much about it thus with the party finder that allowed them to be accompanied by Southern Soldiers, Healers and Mages, they were able to defeat quite a number of Demon Rat Elites before escaping the kill zone and arriving in the Undercity beneath the Northern Capital. It was basically a free for all as they hit and run whatever they could see since to them, it was information which was not available until they had escaped the kill zones.
And even if they died, the Pandarens shared the information through the Pandamonium Forums knowing that Mr Know It All (and the System, well under the name of Mr Know It All) would provide them incentives and payment for revealing such information to the public. It was like reconnaissance of the entire Pandaren community while trying to survive this crazy Raid Event.
"Cinderclaw, that camp is practically harmless against us. With a few strikes from our volley of cannons, it would be destroyed. You saw how their magic barrier dropped instantly after a few hits before it recovers again." Roughscream said as he held onto his spiked club. The Demon Rat Club General swung his mechanical club and placed it on his shoulder while looking hungry for a better fight.
"Hah, Roughscream is probably more interested in the humans that survived our kill zone." Skydigger, the Demon Rat Pickaxe General said and Cinderclaw snorted at that aspect.
"That group of humans managed to destroy the entire team in minutes and we are allowing them to survive?" Roughscream asked what Cinderclaw was thinking. Compared to that camp which could be bombarded with the number of artillery available, those humans had managed to annihilate one of their elites and it should be a more pressing concern than it.
"Unless Cinderclaw wished to tire out those humans before assaulting them?" Skydigger shrugged his shoulders and Roughscream literally screamed right in front of their new leader.
"You know how those humans are despicable and ruthless in their attacks. Why are we not stopping them right now?!"
"If you can use your brain for a moment, perhaps you will understand why," Cinderclaw said as he ordered Roughscream to look at the footage that the Mage Demon Rats were able to recreate right in front of them.
All they showed was multiple footages of humans getting killed again and again by the Demon Rats and Roughscream could not see anything wrong with them. It was then something caught his eye. There were a few humans with the same type of masks coming back again and again.
While the masks had not revealed their identity, it was pretty obvious based on the attacks they dished out. The same magical (chi in the cultivator\'s eyes.) attacks were used and they became stronger not just in terms of their attacks but in their wits fighting against the Demon Rats in those kill zone boxes that the Demon Rat Generals had set up.
"You get what I mean now?" Cinderclaw said as he sat more comfortably on the throne. He now understood why the scholars loved sitting on this pedestal of power so much.
"Those humans have the ability to return alive? We should capture them instead of killing them!" Roughscream said and Cinderclaw wished to laugh at his opinion although he was not wrong without knowing the circumstances. The Demon Rat Axe General would have done the same too.
Prideblood came into the throne room upon hearing the initial uproar and replied by saying that they had tried to do so the moment they found out that those humans were able to revive back once more.
"But each time we killed and captured one to experiment, a secret spell had allowed them to explode leaving almost nothing behind. It was as if they know that they would be captured and tortured to learn about them so they decided to suicide and therefore not allow us to do anything to them." Prideblood said. "We tried taking their blood and even amputating them but the results that our scientists had shown were nothing significant."
"So? All we had to do was to kill and kill again until they never come back." Roughscream said as he walked out of the room and went into one of the Killzone boxes himself.
