Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

The G-27's cannon roared again, and the self-propelled gear guards surged down the mine slope like a tide, engaging in fierce combat with the ratman warriors guarding the carts.

However, the engineered gnomes themselves are too fragile, and their combat power is very low if they do not rely on their engineered creations!

The ratmen are completely different. They are a cunning, cruel, and bloodthirsty fighting species. Although they bully the weak and fear the strong, once there is a strong leader who doesn't care about their lives, such as that level 20 overseer ratman, they will become a very terrifying fighting force!

That level 20 overseer ratman was exceptionally ferocious. With a swing of his whip, he not only whipped a gear guard so hard that parts flew everywhere, but if any ratman tried to retreat, he would whip it so hard that it would tumble into the depths of the mine...

Under its tyranny, the ratmen's army unleashed unimaginable fighting power!

The dwarfs suffered heavy casualties!

"The ratmen's resource raiding party... It seems the ratmen are not only harassing us, but also openly stealing the dwarves' resources." Sun Yao asked nervously, "Boss! Should we intervene?"

For some reason, Wu Zhan turned and glanced at Liu Nian: "Are we going up or not?"

Liu Nian thought for a moment, then shook his head: "It's not the right time yet."

Wu Zhan nodded in satisfaction, coldly watching the dwarfs below being slaughtered and their blood flowing like a river.

Sun Yao scratched his head, not quite understanding what the two were thinking.

Didn't we say we were going to raise the dwarf's favorability? Why aren't we doing anything about it?

Seemingly noticing Sun Yao's confusion, Wu Zhan sighed and explained, "The dwarfs can still hold on for now. Helping them drive away the ratmen is just icing on the cake! But if they can't hold on, the entire team will be wiped out, and the mine will fall into the ratmen's hands. Only then will our intervention be a life-saving act!"

Sun Yao was taken aback.

"So they're dead, so be it. You can't command an army with mercy. Besides, they're dwarfs, not humans! So—" Wu Zhan said coldly, "let the bullets fly for a while."

Sun Yao nodded thoughtfully, then said, "Boss, I see that those ratmen are all level 10-15, and the leader, the ratman overseer, is even level 20. Can we defeat them?"

"Don't worry, ratmen and pigmen are completely different!" Wu Zhan said. "Pigmen's natural attributes are two levels higher than our Blue Star humans, and our Blue Star humans are two levels higher than ratmen! Liu Nian has killed ratmen, you should know that, right?"

Liu Nian nodded: "A level 10 ratman only has about 800 health points. I estimate that even the ratman overseer probably doesn't have as many health points as those two puppets from before, right?"

Wu Zhan said, "That's right! Elite monsters are known for having ridiculously high health, but their attack power is still relatively normal. Based on my experience, that ratman overseer's health couldn't possibly exceed 3000!"

Liu Nian secretly calculated that even with the attribute suppression due to the level difference, with his attributes and equipment, killing the overseer ratman would not be a problem at all!

Finally, seeing the dwarves routed, their chariots and self-propelled guards torn to pieces, their morale shattered, Wu Zhan stood up, a smile spreading across his face: "Two 'helpful citizens,' it's our turn to step in!"

Sun Yao stood up, looked at the dark mass of rats below, took out his staff, and quietly swallowed.

That overseer ratman is level 20! Even if this race's attributes aren't high to begin with, can the three of them win against such a high level advantage?

Liu Nian simply moved his wrist calmly, and his joints made a crisp cracking sound.

He looked at the ratman overseer and said, "I'll take care of that level 20 one!"

"Alright, let's go!"

Before he finished speaking, the three of them had already charged out from the ratman's side and rear.

At Wu Zhan's command, the three of them shot into the chaotic battlefield from the side and rear like three sharp arrows!

"Sun Yao, just go all out! I won't let the ratmen touch you! Your role is to create chaos! Create an opportunity for Liu Nian's decapitation operation!" Wu Zhan issued the order, revealing his seasoned leadership.

"Understood!" Sun Yao waved his staff, chanting incantations, and before he even got close, he unleashed a Fireball spell!

A blazing fireball, black and red in color, fell into the ranks of the ratmen and exploded upon landing!

The fire burned several nearby ratmen, causing them to squeak and scream, temporarily clearing out an area.

The three charged into the ratmen's formation, instantly causing chaos.

The overseer ratman also noticed the enemy approaching from the flank and rear. He roared and cracked his whip in mid-air, ordering a wave of ratmen to attack in the direction of the enemy attack!

It itself, surrounded by ratmen, rushed toward the three.

Liu Nian's eyes were already fixed on the level 20 overseer ratman, but the ratman was surrounded by a group of rats, and there was still some distance between him and the ratman!

Sun Yao then began to continuously unleash spells to bombard the ratmen in front of him. The damage wasn't particularly high, but the main purpose was to allow Liu Nian to quickly cut into the rat swarm!

Wu Zhan stood like a rock in front of Sun Yao. Although he was only level 6 and his equipment was ordinary, he had extremely rich combat experience.

Facing the swarming ratmen, he parried and countered with precision, taking advantage of the gaps in their attacks to launch counterattacks. Every sword strike was aimed at the enemy's defenses, and in a short time, he single-handedly restrained three or four ratmen, creating an excellent environment for Sun Yao to deal damage.

Meanwhile, Liu Nian had already charged into the swarm of rats, his fists swinging wildly, killing if he could, and not caring if he couldn't. He had only one target—the LV.20 [Plague Ratman Overseer]!

He finally broke through the ratmen and was more than ten meters away when his skill's attack range was reached!

"Unstoppable!"

Liu Nian let out a low roar, his figure transforming into a blood-red meteor, ignoring all the ratmen's obstruction along the way, and with an indomitable momentum, he crashed into the burly overseer!

Boom!

-1923！-1834！-2023！-1999！-1094！

The enormous impact sent the arrogant ratman overseer and a group of ratmen flying off the ground!

A terrifying magic damage number appeared above the head of each ratman!

All the ratmen below level 12 died suddenly!

[Hellish Curse in effect! Armor and Ability Power +8]

Even the level 20 overseer ratman's health bar was instantly halved!

Liu Nian killed 7 high-level ratmen in one go, and his level rose another level, reaching level 9!

Without any hesitation, he instantly upgraded his Deliberate Strike Punch to level 2.

The passive effect of Intentional Fist has been changed to: Battle Spirit storage cap is 60% of maximum health.

The active effect cooldown is reduced to 19 seconds, and the damage dealt is increased to true damage equal to 100% Battle Spirit + 10% Maximum Health + 30% Attack Power.

The overseer ratman was both shocked and furious; he hadn't expected such a ruthless figure to suddenly appear!

As soon as it landed and struggled to get up, Liu Nian was already right next to it like a shadow!

The steel imprint of the heart suddenly lit up on the foreman's chest!
