With the momentum on their side, the Ratmen swept through the various settlements of the Lizardmen with one goal and one goal only.
Total annihilation.
The Lizardmen fought bravely. However, disadvantaged by the current state of the swamp, they were unable to implement their original plan, as those who dared to swim in the water would immediately feel as if their throats were burning.
They might be able to hold their breaths for a long period of time, but the corrupted waters carrying fast-acting pestilence and diseases could seep through their scales.
This weakened the Lizardmen’s tough bodies, preventing them from performing at their peak potential.
The Lizardmen resisted with everything they had, but the march of the Ratmen was unstoppable.
Step by painful meter, they were slowly being pushed back, leaving only the dead and dying behind.
