Facing the frenzied attacks of humanoid monsters in all fronts, Benson Town quickly fell. The three earls that had originally gathered for a secret meeting had to quickly evacuate Service Hotel with their important and close subordinates and join their main forces.
Earl Gerard, the host of this secret meeting, had formerly arranged many military camps for all his personal troops in the vicinity of Benson Town. These troops were well-equipped, and their combat power was much stronger than those average aristocrats’ militias. However, they had sent no aid even during this emergency because several military camps near Benson Town had been wiped out by the monster troops under Clyde’s little sister Lucifer and the others. Thus, they were unable to rush to Benson Town to rescue Earl Gerard. The three earls were in a hopeless situation.
Compared to the underground ratmen army, the combined army composed of the Bloodkin familiars under Lucifer, the mummy armies under Undead Queen Lafania and her younger sister, Cursed Queen Mephis, and the monster army under Ancient Demon King Andrisno was absolutely superior. All in this army were high-leveled monsters. If it were not for Clyde’s orders to wait, these high-leveled monsters could have instantly crushed low-leveled monsters like these underground ratmen. Even if these underground ratmen had evolved into humanoid forms and gained a certain level of intelligence, their combat power was still not worth mentioning in front of these high-leveled monsters.
The fighting style of these underground ratmen was more like what bandits would use. Since they couldn’t forge, their equipment had all been plundered, much like the grains they usually stole. When they had been giant rat monsters, they would scavenge and steal like rats. After evolving into underground ratmen, they now robbed openly in broad daylight. In essence, they had evolved from thieves into bandits.The change wasn’t great.
However, the underground ratmen didn’t have any interest toward human women, presumably, because they didn’t have certain wicked attributes. Otherwise, the current scene might have developed in a different direction. Nevertheless, the people present didn’t notice these ratmen’s unusual attribute among monsters. Those special maids were so frightened that they curled up under tables or behind pieces of furniture. Most girls had an innate fear of rat-like animals. This fear led them to be so frightened upon seeing the underground ratmen that they lost their will to resist. Fortunately, the underground ratmen didn’t have any special hobbies. They ignored these maidens upon seeing nothing to plunder from them.
After successfully assassinating the representatives of Adrian Empire’s three tycoon clans who had been sent to manipulate the battle between the three earls, Clyde leisurely walked to the reception hall on the first floor of Service Hotel. He was still pretending to be an ordinary human soldier, planning to fish in these troubled waters while taking advantage of the chaotic situation.
As the host, Earl Gerard attached great importance to the secret meeting. The soldiers arranged here were his strongest. Encountering the surprise attacks of the underground ratmen, after an initial surprise, those elite troops quickly adapted. Gradually, they recovered the initiative and stabilized the situation. At least, the situation in the luxurious private room on the second floor had been temporarily controlled. As for the reception hall on the first floor, it was hard to say. The terrifying screams rising from the first floor indicated that the situation there boded ill rather than well.
Despite the elite troops dauntlessly fighting the enemy, they were helpless due to being hopelessly outnumbered. The number of underground ratmen was too much. Moreover, their reinforcements never ceased. As for the reinforcements of the human soldiers, they had none. The human soldiers here were in a desperate situation. Although the soldiers fought bravely, they were unable to change their current isolated plight. It was only a matter of time before this place fell into the hands of the underground ratmen. The soldiers could only try their best to win a little more time for the three earls and the other high classed aristocrats to run away.
This had nothing to do with Clyde. Taking advantage of this chaotic situation, he killed anyone blocking his path along the stairway, advancing toward the reception hall on the first floor. All along the way, those underground ratmen who attempted to stop Clyde were instantly killed without exception. Even though these humanoid monsters wore complete sets of armor and had quality weapons, they didn’t pose any threat to him. Clyde was too lazy to even block their attacks, so he took them head-on. No matter whether it were a stab, hack, or slash, all were reflected, directly killing the attackers.
Many baffled underground ratmen died. They were not killed by Clyde’s direct attack but rather the rebounds of their weapons. In death, they didn’t even know how they had died and felt quite aggrieved. Clyde didn’t even use his sword; he casually walked all the way down. His sword blade was shiny without a hint of blood. It was unfortunate that the luxurious private room on the second floor was in a state of chaotic warfare now, so no one noticed the abnormal situation at Clyde’s side. They were unable to witness the birth of the strongest soldier in the history of the Human Race.
The scene on the first floor of Service Hotel was very bloody. Limbs lay everywhere, and blood flowed like a river accompanied by miserable screams. It seemed that Clyde had arrived a little late. By the time he arrived in the reception hall, it had already been mostly captured. Basically, all the soldiers who had fought against the underground ratmen had been killed, so the underground ratmen had already begun to loot and clean up the battlefield.
Clyde looked around. Other than some bloodstains and male corpses, many shivering women lay curled up on the ground. They used their hands to cover their chests, and their legs were tightly clamped. From the special maids of Service Hotel to those honored female guests who had come to fulfill certain functions at this aristocrat party, all of them were in completely bare states without exception. Under the dim lighting, he could see their trembling, fair and alluring bodies. But, because the ambiguous atmosphere, they looked a lot more tempting. Fortunately, the underground ratmen didn’t have any interest in human women. They just cared about the money and valuables they carried. If they had been any other humanoid monster, the result might have been different. The scene might have been even wickeder, turning into another kind of tale. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮
No matter their status, these women were all in the same state. In a certain sense, a so-called equality had been achieved. Naturally, many were unable to bear the frightening appearance of those underground ratmen and pissed themselves. Although their white legs were tightly closed, they could do nothing to conceal that special smell. When Clyde walked over, he could smell that odor before even nearing them.
Miss Anna and the other ladies were still there. These ladies had persisted to the end, waiting for his arrival. Most of them wore revealing, deep V-style cocktail wear. This sexy type of dress was suitable for a banquet but inconvenient for fighting. When Clyde looked at them, he saw that these ladies had been wounded in action. Their clothes were cut open and tattered, practically no different from wearing nothing. Wide expanses of their white skin were exposed to the air. Just being able to see this beneficial scenery made it worthwhile for Clyde to have rushed over to help them.
Now, some of his previous wicked, erotic speculations had been confirmed. Beneath their formal party dresses, those ladies had truly worn nothing beneath their tops. They were almost entirely exposed, yet he still couldn’t see any innerwear. Not to mention their upper parts, Clyde had basically seen their entire bare bodies now since he could clearly see the colors and styles of panties they wore. Those extremely thin pieces of cloth were the last pieces of fabric covering their bodies, their final lines of defense.
Clyde wore a full-set of armor that practically covered his entire body from head to toe. It indigenously concealed his boorish gaze as he checked out these ladies’ alluring bodies. With the help of that armor, those ladies didn’t notice someone publicly peeping. Their entire attention was focused on fighting the underground ratmen; they had no time to think about other things.
The weapons these ladies used had all been obtained from the corpse of soldiers. Basically, they had only found swords, unsuitable for their professions, but they still stubbornly fought. The ones standing in the front were warrior Miss Kylie and Swordsman Betty. Their professions were compatible with these weapons, and they had high adaptability, so they took the brunt of the attacks.
Other ladies were in a very awkward situation. They were not swordsmen or warriors; some were archers, assassins, these kinds of guerrilla warfare and long-distance professions. Their positioning and gear were very disadvantageous, but they had to grit their teeth and fight the enemies while holding swords. The one in the most awkward situation was Miss Anna. She was hiding in the back with a few ladies also of magician professions. Holding swords in their hands, they tensely watched the fight. Without their magic items, they had zero combat power. Most human magicians of this different world, without the support of magic staffs, crystal balls, magic scrolls, magic books, or other magic items, couldn’t use even basic magic spells.
If Miss Anna and the others fought in the front, they would simply be courting death. In order to ensure their safety, Betty and Kylie intentionally arranged for Anna and the others in the rear position to focus on the few underground ratmen who broke through the defense line. This arrangement was very reasonable. Merely, the muscles of Anna and these few ladies were weak, so it was rather hard for them to fight using swords. Thus, their rate of injury was roughly comparable to those ladies fighting in the front.
The underground ratmen also made several errors in their tactics. As usual, they focused on dealing with the human men first as they saw them as the greater threat, leaving the women for later. This gave Clyde valuable time. Otherwise, he might have only found the corpses of these ladies when he arrived. These underground ratmen were truly not interested in human women, but they would spared no effort to kill those ladies with equipment. If Clyde had arrived a little later, Anna and the other ladies might have already turned into corpses.
“Schoolmate Anna, isn’t that your escort over there? He dared to come here alone to protect you at this time. He truly is a man! Make him run away quickly! We cannot hold on much longer!”
“Schoolmate Anna, I truly envy you. Your guard came to you even under such duress. He is more reliable than our brothers. Quickly make him go away. Don’t let him waste his life for nothing. He should save himself.”
“Kylie, Betty, he... isn’t hu... No, I’m sorry. He is such a person; I can’t persuade him to stop.”
