Chapter 617： Oden falls

This rat wave lasted for two days and two nights.

Wano country paid a heavy price, the death toll was as high as 600,000.

At the beginning, it was able to resist, but at the back, with the consumption of physical strength, it was a complete massacre.

For two days, there was no time to rest at all.

And to the back, the strength weakens, and more and more mice leak out from the front.

A large number of Wano country residents and samurai were killed and eaten by rats.

They still underestimated the horror of the rat infestation. From the beginning, it was a very stupid idea to fight with the rat tide.

Any force, facing such a disaster, the best way is to avoid it, find the most appropriate way to deal with it, and solve this disaster with the least cost.

The sacrifice of 600,000 people, including many warriors, is such a price that few forces can afford.

The corpses of rats all over the ground, and most of the corpses of Wano country residents, were covered up.

Mice corpses piled up like mountains, a battlefield made of blood.

I don't know how many dead mice there are.

After two days and two nights of slaughter, everyone was exhausted. There were very few warriors who could still stand at this time, and most of them had collapsed to the ground.

With the end of the rat tide, at least 90% of the rats in the entire Wano country lost due to the powerful force and huge casualties.

The bodies of many samurai were incomplete, because they had explosives tied to their bodies, and they perished with many rats at the moment of dying.

During the war, explosions sounded constantly, and each explosion represented the death of a citizen of Wano.

It looks heroic, but in the eyes of many people it is very stupid.

Explosives are very effective against these rats, and if there are large quantities of explosives, buried in the ground of the battlefield, more rats can be removed with fewer casualties.

Wano country did not think of this, only thought of the sacrifice of life and death for Wano country.

It has to be said that it is stubbornness or the imprisonment of thinking.

Even though the image was introduced to Wano Country, Wano Country is still the original Wano Country. Although there are some changes, culturally and thinking have not changed much.

Hundreds of years of imprisonment, how can it be broken in just a few years? Moreover, the currency exchanged in Wano country is different from the outside world, and the images are more flowing in the upper level of Wano country.

When Wano Country wanted to let the Dark Night Pirates send a batch of explosives, they thought they would bury the explosives underground, and the Dark Night Pirates specially sent some more.

But I didn't expect that these explosives were actually wrapped around my body?

I almost laughed my teeth out. Although the explosives also killed a lot of the beginning, they did not maximize the effect of the explosives at all. The number and density of the same range will only reach the maximum when the rat infestation breaks out.

According to the idea of ​​the Dark Night Pirates, the casualties caused by the explosion are at least dozens of times the final one.

You must know that the amount of explosives sent by the Dark Night Pirates has thousands of tons.

Enough to deal with at least half of the rat population.

For such a result, it can only be said that the country of Wano is self-inflicted, and it is so stupid that there is no cure.

There are only about 200,000 people left, and there are countless disabled people. It can be said that they are well preserved, not even one-third. Even Kozuki Oden has some mouse bites on his body.

Although his strength is strong, he is under the most pressure and consumes the fastest physical strength. In the end, he is completely fighting with his own willpower. He must ensure a large number of mouse casualties and reduce the pressure on the warriors behind.

At this time, he regretted that he paid too much attention to the power of the samurai, and instead despised the devil fruit.

In the sea, he has also seen many devil fruit capable people, not only the shock fruit of Whitebeard, but also the three major generals today, all possess terrifying power and large-scale lethality.

If they have similar abilities, they can definitely reduce casualties, reduce stress, and solve the rat infestation faster.

In Wano Kingdom, there are also a few Devil Fruits, but because of the preservation of swordsmanship and the internal thinking of Wano Kingdom, no one eats them.

Also because Wano Country does not have a Devil Fruit Illustration, it is impossible to identify the specific abilities of Devil Fruit.

Huge casualties, including the evacuated Wano country residents, the total population of Wano country has now dropped to half of its original size.

Two million casualties, in just a few weeks, are unimaginable.

More casualties than any war over the years.

And there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, the rat infestation has not disappeared, and there are still tens of millions of rats. If it is not solved as soon as possible, it will only take a few months for the number of rats to expand rapidly and recover. .

After all, on the whole island, apart from people, these rats have no natural enemies.

In the face of huge numbers, even natural enemies are nothing but food.

The rat infestation is not over yet, and the attraction of the special breath to the rats continues.

The large number of mice facing them has been reduced, and most of the remaining ones have invaded the residence in the rear.

In two days, their line of defense has long been broken, and even those warriors who are proficient in domineering have suffered many casualties.

They need time to rest, but not much.

Attracting the breath of mice, the mice that have not come farther are still attracted, and it also makes it easier to solve the rat infestation.

There is no need to go to the deep mountains and old forests to find mice, because they will come over by themselves, and if they have a goal, they will naturally solve it better.

Now, they need time to rest, and after the rest, they will do their best to clean up the mice in Wano.

Just get rid of these mice and it's all over.

This is not an easy thing, the diffusion of breath, whether it is Bai Wu, Queen Ling, or the Capital of Flowers, will be the activity area of ​​these mice.

This is still a large area, and it will take a long time to get rid of all the mice.

In addition, there is always a limit to the duration of the breath that attracts mice. If it is not solved as soon as possible, the area where these mice are active will become the entire Wano country. broke out again.

On the issue of food, they are not worried, whether it is Queen Ling, or Bai Wu and Huacheng, they have temporarily established granaries.

In order to prevent mice from stealing the house from happening again, even the floor of the warehouse is made of steel, and people are also arranged to guard it.

It is worth mentioning that in this war against the rat tide, it can be said that it is the best time for the World Government to seize the historical text, but the World Government did not do that.

Because, in the General's Mansion, there is still a strong force guarding it, in order to protect the historical text.

Kozuki Oden is very simple and stubborn. As a person who knows everything, he knows his mission, which is to protect the historical text and give it to the person who he recognizes and is destined to do.

Anyway, to protect it well, we must not let the historical text fall into the hands of the world government.

It is precisely because of this idea that Wano's power to resist the rat tide has been weakened, and it has also prevented the historical text from being taken away by the world government.

Originally, the governments of the world were planning to take action against the historical text.

Even if the guardian's power is very strong, the world government still has a good chance of defeating the guardian samurai and getting the historical text.

After all, at this time, Kozuki Oden could not be free at all, and Wano's defense force was restrained by more than 90%, which can be said to be the weakest state in history.

During this period, all the powerhouses of Wano Kingdom took action.

But after some thought, Gaia finally gave up on this opportunity.

Wano's defense is still strong, even stronger than before. If they make a move, even if they can get the road sign, they will definitely lose a lot.

Today's world governments need to minimize losses.

This opportunity was missed, but the next opportunity, they will definitely not let it go.

Evil worms are in charge of the food in the flower capital. During this period, there is enough time to operate, and the amount of graweilin plants has been secretly added a lot, speeding up the accumulation of medicinal power, and finally turning it into a highly poisonous.

Neutralized with special drugs to keep the taste unchanged.

After two days of fighting, all samurai need a lot of energy.

The corpse could not be restrained, and could only be burned with a fire.

The fire burned and filled the sky, killing countless mice and the corpses of Wano residents.

In this case, there is no experience to restrain the corpse at all, but it will cause another outbreak of plague.

These days, Marco still stayed in Wano Country, too busy to stop, and after reporting to Whitebeard, Whitebeard also asked him to help as much as possible.

Where Marco was staying was Bai Wu, and he played a big part in resisting the rat tide.

Whether it's killing rats or treating them.

Undead Qingyan is a flame with healing power. It is very special. It also has the high temperature of the flame. Under his control, he can control the temperature of the flame at will to a level that will not hurt anyone.

Now that the war is not over, Marco spends his time healing the wounds of the other samurai.

He can only treat the trauma, after all, there are so many people.

Moreover, the immortal Qingyan only has this kind of treatment for outsiders, it can only relieve internal injuries, and more depends on its own resilience.

Back at the station, you can see some mice running around on the street with the naked eye.

Next is a race against time, they have to recover as soon as possible and defeat these rats in the shortest time possible.

The returning samurai and residents ignored them, letting them destroy and act.

Anyone who tries to attack them will be killed instantly.

A group of people entered the granary, closed the door, and dealt with some mice that were attracted by the smell of the grain.

A large number of rats were kept outside the granary, attacking frantically, but there was no way to face the steel wall.

After dealing with all this, many warriors healed their wounds and replenished their energy, all of them were hungry and thirsty, whether it was food or water.

They urgently needed a lot of food, and they devoured the food they had prepared.

Just some bread can't satisfy them at all, they need those hot and cold foods more.

Everyone is replenishing energy and preparing for the next action.

With the reduction in the number of people, they no longer need to be restrained as before, and they can eat as much as they want.

Watching the many samurai eating delicious food, the evil worms maintained a respectful appearance.

There is no joy, the air is very heavy, and there are too many dead people.

After communicating with Bai Wu and Linghou, basically only a quarter of the original remains. The rest were buried in the rat tide, and now they are buried in the sea of ​​fire.

No one can accept such a loss, and the pain in Kozuki Oden's expression cannot be concealed at all.

At this time, they all realized that the response to the rat tide was wrong, but unfortunately it was too late, and there was no possibility of saving.

Even though his body was very hungry, Oden had no appetite at all, as if he was suffering from depression, and sat there quietly, silent for a while.

As the general of the Wano country, he believes that he has an inescapable responsibility.

He must get himself together as soon as possible, get rid of the rat infestation as soon as possible, and then complete the rebuilding of Wano.

The land was devastated, and it would take at least a hundred years for the country of Wano to return to its original state, both in terms of population and natural environment.

The damage was too severe, and now there are many losses.

Most of those who died were young and old.

Thanks to the closed environment, the number of elderly people in Wano country accounts for 30% of the total population of Wano country.

In the next two weeks, most of the wano country samurai, except for those who were seriously injured and unable to move, basically took action to clear the mice in their residence.

There is no open area. In these streets and alleys, even underground, it is very troublesome to clean up these mice, but there is no way to do this, but to do as much as possible.

It takes dozens of days to clean up 200,000 mice a day, compared to a huge number of more than 10 million.

And these times are enough for these mice to breed one or two batches.

This is a difficult process.

Seeing the horror of the rat infestation, they dared not let the people of Wano Kingdom come back before the rat infestation was over.

If you are not careful, the number of mice will swell again.

During this process, samurai continued to sacrifice, and if they were unlucky, they would encounter a group of mice, hundreds of thousands of them, and directly surrounded them.

And it also specifically bites on the wounds on their bodies.

At this time, the goal pursued by the world government has finally been achieved.

Just after dinner, Kozuki Oden, who took some samurai to clean up the mice, stood on a roof and looked down into the distance, seeing the domineering release, looking for the traces of the mice.

After a long period of accumulation, the Graweilin plants in Kozuki Oden's body finally accumulated to the limit and turned into a terrifying poison.

Koyuki Oden staggered, his head fainted, and he suddenly lost control of his body.

And the whole body, as if it was about to crack from the inside, the pain of the ten thousand ants devouring the heart broke out.

Kneeling on the ground on one leg, the long knife stuck on the ground to support the body.

"General!"

"Master! What's the matter?"

The sudden change made the other samurai panic all of a sudden, and some couldn't believe that the originally good Kozuki Oden suddenly looked like this.

Kozuki Oden raised his head with some difficulty, wanted to speak, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

He frowned, enduring severe pain.

However, his vision was very blurred, and when he looked at the rushing warrior, countless phantoms appeared in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, his body crooked and fell from the roof, causing him to faint.

Kinemon, who caught Kozuki Oden before Oden fell to the ground, felt the current state of his lord and looked flustered.

"Quick, take the lord back and call the phoenix over, the lord has an accident."
