From Skaven to God-King of War - #250 - Chapter 248, war!
Rat War received the gift from a distant place. The three abandoned scales of God were held in his hand, but he didn’t even take a second look at them. Instead, the mother Rat War of the skinned giant rat paid more attention to them and threw the three scales aside like garbage.
If such a scene was seen by Long Claw, that guy would be crazy again.
The things that he wanted but couldn’t get were thrown away by others like garbage.
Well, it may be that Rat War didn’t understand what this thing was. After all, there was no mistake about this. The abandoned scales of God could indeed bring real power. Rat War would not reject the power that could be held in his hands.
It’s just that this guy was too arrogant, and he didn’t even have any interest in exploring these things in his hands.
Instead, his sight paused on the guys who arrived behind the rat priest, and on the tall giant deformed rat man.
When the rat priest left the camp again, he was the only one left in his team, without anyone to surround him, and in contrast, Rat War had some unexpected gains.
The ratman priest had a gloomy expression. Ratman did not give him face, and accordingly, he would definitely not give Ratman face again. This is how Ratman’s reputation of being hated by people and dogs came about. The production of those giant ratmen was also controlled by the ratman priests.
The giant deformed ratman’s journey to the battlefield had some twists and turns, which might be a good thing. For those gentle giant ratmen, no one would like to be born to become a terrifying deformed monster, but what will happen in the future is not up to them.
They have no right to choose what kind of guy they want to be.
………….
The ratmen have completely swept away the area outside the city of Jilang. All the manors, wheat fields, villages, fortresses, and castles, big and small, were destroyed.
The sneaks surging in the dark all set their sights on the towering city, waiting only for a shout and an order.
Rat War climbed to a high place. Under the waving black dragon flag, eight flags echoed each other. Countless ratmen emerged from the darkness, hunched over, roaring sharply, charging, charging, charging, gathering into a tide, like a tsunami. For the first time, the ratmen began to surge in large numbers, toward the majestic city in front of them.
Whether they were prepared or not, the ratmen were already here.
The first wave of impact broke out suddenly, and the defenders on the city wall hurriedly pulled up the city gates. Just to deal with the towering city wall, Rat War also brought some good things.
The huge war machine showed its traces in the darkness. In the terrifying whistling sound, extremely swollen ratmen were thrown into the city wantonly, wailing, and turned into a group of mottled scarlet.
The group of ratmen warriors in the front row ran wildly on the ground carrying long ladders.
But the first wave of spells arrived soon. The mages who accompanied the army took action, and a round of falling fireballs smashed the ratmen line at the forefront into pieces.
The ratmen warriors who were originally running wildly with excitement suddenly showed panic on their faces, but before they could flee in all directions, they were pushed forward again by their companions behind them.
A large amount of bright light was hit into the sky, turning into the stars that stayed for a short time, dispelling the darkness around the city and reflecting the boundless ratmen. The ratmen were a little uncomfortable with the sudden rise of light.
The charging posture was paused.
Countless ratmen warriors stopped their steps and subconsciously blocked the rising light with their hands. This action made the scene in front of them even more shocking. The closed eyes would always open again. Under the light of the bright light, the paused ratmen, countless ratmen, ratmen with various expressions, pairs of scarlet eyes, raised their heads, and all cast them at the defenders on the city wall.
This was a terrifying scene, and it was also short-lived. The Ratman Supervisory Team had already begun to advance. The panicked avoidance of the Supervisory Team caused the dark tide to surge again, hitting the towering city wall in front of them fiercely.
The roaring war machines, the crossbows shot at the ratmen climbing on the city wall, the falling rocks, and the terrifying fireballs that kept falling.
This was just a tentative attack, but the Rat War was particularly generous. All the ratmen in this area rushed towards this huge city in his words, turning into this dark tide.
From every angle in all directions, there was no omission in attacking the huge and majestic city in front of them.
The foundation of this city is indeed good, and the towering city wall is particularly solid. Even though the boulders thrown by the huge catapults are already large and heavy enough, they still seem a little inadequate when facing this towering city wall.
The huge rocks that fell on the towering wall could only leave a shallow pit. Unless several rocks fell together and hit the same place, the wall would loosen. Once this happened, the magicians accompanying the army would immediately rush to the loose wall regardless of the danger. After a few spells, the loose area would be intact again.
The wizards of the Ghost Eye tribe are not good at those terrifying spells with extremely high destructive power, but the spells in the direction of life are also quite difficult to deal with, such as repairing city walls, guiding arrows, boosting morale, lighting, wind spell, grease spell, etc. Clean as new, armor repaired, healed.
These messy spells cover too many aspects. Although their mages are often not all-powerful and are only good at one or two directions of spells, the number of mages who join the battlefield is really large enough.
These messy spells caused great trouble to the rat-men’s attack. Compared with the wizards of the Dark Eye tribe, the spells of the rat-man priests were like a group of primitive people.
It’s just that this war is still not easy for them to deal with.
The boulders thrown by the huge trebuchets did not cause much damage to the city wall, but the falling boulders were still a huge threat to the defenders on the city wall. Being hit by such a huge boulder, even those wearing high-quality enchantments The armored magic knights would all die on the spot, let alone the ordinary defenders.
And what the rat men throw is far more than just these huge boulders. Those swollen rat men are the real threat. If those swollen rat men are allowed to fall on the city wall, the instantaneous explosion of pollution can clear a large area in an instant. , all contaminated creatures will turn into a wriggling mass of flesh and blood while wailing.
The military mages on the city wall began to shout the wind non-stop, and the roaring boulders and swollen rat-men began to deflect with the combined force of these military mages. Just a slight deviation, the result was completely different.
Many boulders and the swollen rat-men were smashed into the tide of rat-men that kept coming in front of the city wall.
Facts have proved that the attack effect of these boulders and swollen rat-men on rat-men warriors is equally superb. Being hit by a boulder will not cause much pain, it will just turn into rat cakes instantly, but if it is splashed by the swollen rat-men, it will cause a lot of pain. If the bleeding affects the flesh and blood, then the problem will be a bit big.
Wailing and running away, these rat warriors clearly didn’t understand what it meant to be considerate of their companions. They instinctively headed towards the direction with the most rat warriors around them, selflessly bringing pollution to other rat warriors and struggling in the wailing.
In this crowded formation, the effect is simply full.
But this did not stop those huge trebuchets from throwing. These trebuchets themselves were also inferior consumables.
During another round of ejection, there was a harsh sound on a huge trebuchet. The big-clawed priest who was controlling the huge trebuchet had visible panic on his face at this moment. However, it was obviously too late to escape anymore. Suddenly, The disintegrated huge trebuchet triggered a chain reaction of terror.
Some of the accumulated swollen ratmen were also detonated together. However, in the face of this situation, the order was still maintained amidst the wails of the big-clawed priests, and soon the huge trebuchet was put into operation again.
One after another, the siege ladders were set up on the city wall by the rat warriors.
The energy of the accompanying mages was dragged down by the falling boulders and swollen ratmen, making it no longer difficult for them to climb the city wall.
Avoiding the person who was pushed down the city wall, avoiding the falling crossbow arrows, oil cans, and rolling logs, and successfully climbing up the city wall before the long ladder was cut off and pushed down by the defenders on it, this is not a day. Something easy to do.
But after being pushed to the city wall by the rat man behind him, he could only do this. Climb along the long ladder towards the city wall, and there might be a possibility of survival. If he stopped under the city wall, he would only be able to survive. Be able to welcome all kinds of things that are falling from afar, pray that you can survive those indiscriminate attacks, and be careful that more and more rat people are gathering to trample you under your feet.
Countless rat warriors climbed up the long ladders, and the fallen ladders were constantly being lifted up again. Experienced guys would hang their weapons on the tails behind them and raise their shields high. , the excited guy who had no experience and set foot on the battlefield for the first time behaved even more carelessly.
But whether you have experience or not, whether you can survive on this cruel battlefield is a question that is difficult to answer.
A single ratman is too small.
The defenders of Mountain Dew City quickly felt the pressure. In every direction and on every section of the city wall, there were ratmen climbing up. The ratmen had been forced to get used to this cruel war and to face death, but these The city guards, who had not faced a war for a long time, were obviously not used to this situation.
There is still plenty of supplies on the city wall, and with the support of the accompanying mage, the terrifying boulders and the terrifying creations are no longer falling from the sky.
But they still couldn’t let go at all. These damn rat men, these damn rat men were constantly climbing, and they couldn’t relax at all.
As long as he takes any step slower, these damn guys will rush up the city wall. He doesn’t want to face these rat men, face these dangerous rat men.
He is just an ordinary guy, and he has a son and daughter waiting for him in the city.
Not far away, a rat man who rushed up the city wall killed a guard with a sharp scream. He knew him. As a guard in the city, they had had a few drinks in the tavern, but now, it was It turned into a corpse, lying cold on the ground.
The noble knights wandering on the city wall noticed something was wrong here, and with just one arrow step, the rat warrior who rushed up was cut in half.
He hurriedly picked up a heavy jar of fire oil, and subconsciously chose the most expensive item among these things. As long as he dropped the jar of oil and a torch, everything under this wall would be destroyed. Instantly ignited by flames.
The attack of the ratmen was too sudden. The humans who dared not step out of the city in the dark became very unaware of the situation. Also, the excessive concentration of ratmen made those areas too dangerous, and any abnormal movement would be ushered in. Skaven attack.
The Stargazer Pope greatly replenished the garrison on the city wall, and the accumulated supplies were inspected and replenished. At the same time, a large number of military mages were sent to the towering city wall, and noble knights were recruited. Even if they were prepared It’s not perfect enough, but it shouldn’t be the case.
This was just a trial by Rat War, and just to deal with such a trial, they were so busy.
Obviously, the Stargazing Pope ignored an issue. He was indeed prepared, but these city guards who had been stationed on the city wall for a long time and regarded their position as a leisurely and decent job were obviously not ready yet.
Not prepared for this cruel war.
His expression became ferocious, his steps were hurried, and he threw the jar of fire oil in front of him. However, he met a rat warrior who had climbed up on him, and the jar hit the rat warrior who raised it above his head. The shield shattered in the collision, and the dark and sticky fire oil spilled out, soaking the body of the rat warrior. He was furious, and with a sharp hiss, the rat warrior grabbed the man in front of him who was standing in front of the city wall. Damn guy.
Facing these terrifying rat-men, fear and confusion completely filled the heart of the guard. Regardless of what he had just thrown, he pulled out the torch placed on the wall next to him and hit the rat-men in front of him violently. On his body, terrifying flames instantly rose.
The firelight illuminated the face of this ordinary guard, an ordinary middle-aged man with stubble on his face, with a frightened expression on his face.
I felt a bit of excitement in the flames.
But he forgot that he himself seemed to be in the same range affected by the flames.
Two balls of flame fell from the city wall.
The screams were drowned by the surging black tide.
The Skaven’s attack continues.
