From Skaven to God-King of War - #251 - Chapter 249, Guys who promote changes in the times

The rat people never mind taking advantage of the situation, and the problems exposed on the city wall have successfully made the rat war more intense. If this guy sees the opportunity, then the stud will be carried out, even if meeting stud is not a good habit.

Many things are not ready yet, and the same is true for the rat people. The tunnels dug, the arrangement of the rat people entrenched in the city, the treatment of the same people on this continent, the consumption of the morale of the city defenders, and the laying out of teams to deal with other Enemy attacks may appear in this direction.

Many things needed to be prepared and left behind. This siege was just a test. Although Shu Zhan didn’t mind turning this test directly into a brutal fight, in fact, he did so.

Ratmen appeared continuously from the darkness, densely packed, clinging to the towering city wall like ants. The huge trebuchet stopped throwing. The boulders and swollen ratmen had been exhausted, and the huge trebuchet had to stop.

The military mages on the city wall finally had their hands free. All kinds of spells fell, mostly fireballs, magic missiles, and other gadgets, but they also made the rat warriors who climbed the city wall miserable. Word.

The situation suddenly became bad for the rat people.

However, in the face of such a situation, the order to withdraw troops still did not fall.

Crowds of rat warriors were driven to the front of the city in the crowd and began to climb up the city wall.

The corpses of the rat men fell like raindrops and piled up in front of the city wall. It was not without breaking points.

On a section of the city wall, the rat warriors who rushed up the city wall successfully gained a foothold. In the chaotic battle, they fought together and once threatened to destroy the battlefield.

However, they were pushed over by the magic knights who had set up large shields, formed a queue, and were shining with dazzling magic light. This group of knights blessed by various magics showed their own power. It was simply… The bulldozers on the battlefield almost pushed back the rat people who surged up the city wall.

There was no way to retreat, and they were about to be pushed off the city wall. The eyes of these rat men gradually turned red.

They just want to survive. These guys who were pushed to the battlefield and the front line by Rat Zhan were the first ones who were considered unqualified by Rat Zhan. They were filled with a large number of young Ratmen.

Pushed to the front line of a cruel battlefield, he instinctively climbed up the towering city wall and fought with the defenders on the wall, just to survive.

Now this situation was pushed to the limit and began to become frenzied. Some rat men began to lift up the various clay pots piled in the corners of the rear city wall and throw them while roaring.

The rat warriors were still climbing up the city wall in a steady stream. The clay pots were broken on the knight’s armor and also shattered by the surging rat men.

A rat man knocked over the torch on the city wall. Amidst the terrified screams, the place was in chaos. The madness in his eyes seemed so insignificant in the face of this substantial and pervasive flame.

Ratmen kept falling off the city wall while screaming.

It’s just that this city wall is really towering enough. At such a height, falling means death. Maybe you can take one or two unlucky people with you to die, but the result should not change significantly.

Even if you are lucky enough to survive, the Ratmen are still coming in a steady stream. If you don’t get up as soon as possible, you will be trampled without hesitation.

Trampled by the black tide, it became a shapeless pool of flesh and blood on the ground.

On the city wall, all the rat men were pushed off the city wall. The flames did not cause serious damage to these magic knights. The armor on their bodies greatly blocked the terrifying temperature as they stepped out of the flames.

It is far from over yet. During this period of time, the Eastern Expeditionary Force has accumulated a sufficient number of rat men.

The tentative attack of the rat men lasted for a day and night, with uninterrupted attacks. During this period, some hidden rat men in the city noticed this and emerged to wreak havoc in the city.

All of a sudden, it caused a huge commotion in the city, but Rat Zhan was not satisfied with the emergence of this group of rat people, and was even angry, and no longer hesitated.

With flag waving.

A hidden team began to run underground, digging underground and attacking on the ground at the same time. It is not surprising that this huge city has structures to deal with underground attacks. After all, many years ago There is also a lack of dwarves on this continent, a race that is good at digging underground passages, and there are always ratmen active on the main continent.

There are many stone pillars with complex patterns scattered all over the city’s underground. These stone pillars can solidify the earth, which troubles the ratmen’s excavations. However, as time goes by, some stone pillars are damaged. At the same time, some of the stone pillars on the main continent are damaged. The tunnels dug by the Ratmen were also discovered and used.

It’s just that these tunnels are not big, and not many ratmen can pass through them at one time.

Even though ratmen continue to enter the huge city in front of them through the winding underground tunnels, they have never accumulated enough scale.

Even though they were preparing to intensify the rat war, they did not use this army. They were preparing to give the humans in the city a surprise, but the surprise was interrupted by the idiots in the city.

Those excited idiots began to spread flames in the city, killing wantonly, attracting the Holy See knights wandering in the city. In an instant, they dispersed in a rush and disappeared into this huge and complex city.

But the troops deployed by the Rat War were in bad luck. A neat army of Rat men had just broken the drainage guardrail in the city square and filed out of the dirty sewer. They were met head-on by the rushing and rushing people. Come the Knights of the Church.

In the sharp roar, the two sides collided, because Shu Zhan was ready to fight the human side in the underground tunnels after these tunnels were discovered. A group of his personal guards appeared in this team. middle.

These idiots were really stupid. Not only did they lead the Holy See Knight to the exit of the tunnel, they also dispersed in an instant.

The Rat War Guards in pitch-black armor roared and charged at the knight troop that was running wildly in front of them. The two sides collided and fought fiercely, and more City Guards were mobilized.

The personal guards that Rat War smashed out with a large amount of blood mushrooms were indeed fierce.

But in the face of such a situation, he was helpless and fell down unwillingly. Soon, the underground tunnel was temporarily filled with magic by the arriving mage.

The Skaven’s underground attacks were in vain.

Unable to break through, this tentative attack reached a stalemate. The Rat War began to withdraw troops. Before the real war started, there were still some preparations that needed to be made. It became meaningless to continue the stalemate here. The species retreated a few minutes faster than when they arrived, leaving corpses on the ground, most of them ratmen’s.

These corpses even raised the ground by a section, which seemed to be a great victory.

But in fact, the rat people who died in this trial cannot even be remembered by Rat Zhan for even one second, they are just some guys not worth mentioning.

The rat priests did not appear in this conflict. They have not officially arrived in this area, or in other words, they have not officially been integrated into the Eastern Expeditionary Force. The contradiction between the two sides still exists. In that full mobilization , they were also thrown into the battlefield as a force, but Rat War and the Rat Priests were not in harmony.

The rat-man priests did not take the initiative to cause trouble for Rat Zhan. They consciously did not appear in Rat Zhan’s sight and began to deal with various logistics-related matters for the Eastern Expeditionary Force.

Without a backbone, they could not get together, and those senior rat priests who were qualified to be leaders and had not taken office as rat lords were all destroyed in the grassland battle. All the most warlike thorns among the senior rat priests were lost. They are all radicals, and in a war all these guys will die.

Very conscientious and well aware of current affairs, these rat priests who arrived under Rat Zhan bowed their heads obediently. As the true intellectuals in the rat empire, these guys are excellent in logistics management.

It also comes from the common suspicion of the rat people. Even though the big-claw priests generally crawl in front of the rat-man priests to help them deal with various things, no rat-man priest will truly delegate power to the big-claw priests under him. , even if they don’t really interfere with the workshops and the running caravans, these guys can keep track of the flow of goods, details, and the operation of the workshops and caravans.

They have their own network, and they can efficiently convert the gains in the areas occupied by the rat war into blood mushrooms.

For example, at this time, the dark forest outside the golden wilderness has been sold off by these rat priests. Among them, this forest can be roughly divided into two types of things, minerals, land, and minerals are mostly used by various To a certain extent, these guys have foresight. They have a tendency to invest in the future, perhaps because of greed.

The rat lord who purchased the copper mines on the vast grassland miraculously turned around, and the dazzling blood gold still turned over and was imbued with a sacred meaning. Although this holiness was not recognized by the great god, its dazzling golden color was still The rat people liked it quite a lot, especially the temple guards who started using blood gold to build the temple, just because of the dazzling brilliance.

It seems that the rat people are beginning to like the golden color.

This caused the value of the two ores that made up the blood gold to increase several times in an instant. However, gold was also golden, and it was naturally golden, but the rat people had no feeling for gold.

They seem to think that gold is a little too soft. The soft gold cannot carry the glory of the great gods. Moreover, the gods on the grasslands generally like gold. This may be one of the reasons why they have no interest in gold. .

Gold has another name in the Rat Man Empire, fake gold.

Such examples gave the rat priests enough room for imagination, and with the establishment of rat workshops, various ores have indeed become a number of good commodities.

The mines one after another have become good bargaining chips in the hands of the rat priests.

As for the land, the land is even more marketable. Every piece of land that is released will be taken over at an extremely fast speed by ratmen who want to become ranchers. The deeper reason is that On the temple guard’s platform, the temple guards are deliberately cultivating those rat ranchers.

Nowadays, the rat ranches are almost falling everywhere in the vast grassland. While they provide stable income to the lords of the rat cities, they also bring benefits to the extremely deformed rat empire. Of course, for the temple guards, the more important point is that the sacrifices floating in the blood pools in the city temples also rely on these rat ranches to provide.

Not every city is located on the front line and can enjoy the resources brought by the war. Not every city occupies a dangerous pass like Prairie City and can enjoy the benefits brought by business.

Ordinary rat-man cities always have to face a serious problem. There are no sacrifices, the blood pools in the temples of gods are so empty, blood mushrooms no longer produce and grow, and the city is unsustainable.

The temple guards also have to accept the torture of this question. No sacrifices were offered in the temple, so what is the need to maintain this temple?

The Skaven Ranch is a possibility to alleviate this problem, providing the most basic output, and also providing the necessity for the existence of the fallen temples and the temple guards stationed in the temples.

The temple guards have discovered this problem, so they are sparing no effort to promote the decline of the Skaven Ranch. Currently, only the temple guards pay attention to this issue. Those high-ranking guys in the Skaven Empire are still more accustomed to asking for money in wars. This is why It’s too easy. As long as the war can be won, everything on the other side can be easily seized. Even if their nature has changed, those guys who became the rat lords still haven’t turned around in this inertia. For them, cities are only used as commercial transit points.

Build breeding houses, build blast furnaces and workshops, produce rat people and weapons, and then use caravans to divide everything obtained in the war.

This is of course an excellent cycle, but the temple guards are not able to fully devote themselves to such a cycle. They are also the beneficiaries of this cycle, but their structure and power require them to move each building one after another. The temples must be pushed away, and the prosperity of each temple must be ensured.

As a result, they began to resolutely promote this plan and promote the structure of the Ratman Ranch.

Of course, the temple guards also have small thoughts on increasing their influence.

However, this is indeed a turning point of the times and an important node in the ratman civilization.

But it was driven by the temple guards, the most fanatical and devout believers of the great god.
