From Skaven to God-King of War - #253 - Chapter 251, Despicable Guys

But this honest performance will not bring them more benefits.

The temple guards offered a higher price for this group of slave rats from the main continent.

If the days of being overwhelmed by humans and hiding around all day were particularly difficult, then floating in this sea filled with corpses was the real hell. Now, hell has opened the door to them and begun to actively invite them. Enter.

It’s not that there is no comfort, the big clock made of bones still plays on time, and the ethereal and transparent bell has become the only comfort.

Faith began to spread.

………….

A piece of bad news was sent to Pope Stargazer. Regarding his request for help, he immediately requested assistance from the neighboring provinces. However, not even an accurate message was given. All requests seemed to fall into vain. , until today, got a response.

His request was denied.

At such a critical moment, the major churches are leaderless, the human gods have disappeared, and every province in the human empire is experiencing major or minor turmoil. Naturally, no one responds to the Star Gazing Pope’s request for help. .

This is bad news.

The traces of the rat people once again appeared outside the city, with pairs of scarlet eyes shadowy.

After dispatching all the rat warlords in the camp, the rat war began to wave the flag again, and the rat people swarmed in again.

To be fair, there was no big change between this siege and the last siege. It was still the endless running of the rat-men, the roaring boulders and the wailing swollen rat-men.

The figure of Rat Zhan didn’t even really appear in the sight of the city’s defenders, there were just dense, surging black tides.

The departure of the rat warlord did not cause any major changes in the swarming rat tide. This black tide still has no end in sight.

The more elite troops were not mobilized, and the pattern of war changed. It was no longer like that on the vast grasslands, where both sides dropped their most elite troops to attack each other in the most brutal and effective way.

The personal guards of the Rat War were not put into the battlefield, the Rat Knights, the Fierce Knights, the Rat Supervisory Team, and the Rat Runners. These troops were not put into the battlefield. There were only the boundless young rat men and women. A huge army of rat warriors.

The long ladder was once again put up on the city wall, and the rat-man corpses piled outside the city wall had been cleared away, leaving only a dark brown land stained with blood.

This city is indeed huge enough, and it contains all the power of human beings in this area.

Smelly and hard.

Shu Zhan suppressed his impatience. To deal with a city like this, one needs to be patient and wait for the opportunity that arises.

In the darkness, on the high platform built, Shu Zhan anxiously wandered near the black flag.

Staying patient, this is really a difficult thing, at least for the rat war, this bad guy even began to miss the war on the vast grassland.

Wandering over and over again, on that not-so-wide high platform, my eyes wandered over that majestic city, peeping in the darkness, greedy guy.

The cities that were captured by the Rat War all ended up unified beyond expectations. It would not be a harmonious scene. For this brewing disaster, Mountain Dew City did not wait for any help. It is not surprising that the ancient and decadent city The human empire is only one step away from falling apart.

I hope that when the time comes, the Rat War will trample the city, hoist the noble and the humble together, the prosperity will be burned to the ground, and civilization and knowledge will be destroyed without any scruples.

I hope that by this time, those guys can wake up and start to unite to deal with this disaster in the grief of rabbit death and fox death.

This bad guy will definitely do this. In order to show his glory and his achievements, capturing more slaves will bring more and huge wealth, but he will definitely not think about this when the time comes. .

He is different from the rat priests. He will also be moved by the blood mushrooms, but above the blood mushrooms, he prefers listening to the fanatical shouts.

Until then, one has to wait.

Solemn guards stood guard near the high platform.

Of course, the rat people also have to pay a price. Such a city is not easy to capture. Every moment, young or experienced rat warriors are dying, falling from the city walls, bombarded by magic, and trampled by their companions. A series of ways to die by being killed by the guards on the city wall.

With their eyes widened, they turned into corpses on the battlefield. Blood flowed from the bodies of these guys, and their flesh and blood also rotted under the trampling and merged into the earth. They were the price, but they didn’t care about the death of these guys.

No matter how many times a despicable guy dies, he is not worthy of being cared for at all. He is not even qualified to be mentioned as a number. The abundance of the moment makes ordinary rat people even more despicable.

The heavy rain has not stopped yet, it has been raining for many days.

Bright firelight shot up into the sky, illuminating the land outside the city. In the heavy rain, countless rat men crowded together and moved forward in a crowded manner. The noise was mixed with various sounds.

But most of them are shouts to the gods.

These guys with red eyes are not without fear. Most of the Ratmen who are being pushed towards the city wall are filled with uneasiness and panic.

“The gods protect me, the great gods protect me.”

From time to time, there were rat men shouting these two sentences until they were pushed to the forefront of the war.

Holding the spear tightly in his hand, the heavy rain wet the hair on his body, everything was so blurry, the dazzling red reflected in his eyes, the wailing and crazy shouting became the clearest sounds in his ears, even if this pound The sound caused by the heavy rain cannot be covered up. The rat man behind you is still pushing you forward, and the pungent smell of blood fills your nose and becomes increasingly difficult to ignore.

Finally, you are pushed in front of the shaky long ladder. You have no choice. Hold the weapon in your hand tightly, your cowardice and fear are temporarily suppressed, or you can wave the weapon in your hand and climb up regardless. Or, with a little more sense, he gritted his teeth and held the long ladder in front of him.

But in fact, no matter how you choose, there will only be one ending that greets you in the end.

die.

The word brave has never been associated with rat people.

In Mountain Dew City.

When the rat men outside the city launched an attack on the city, commotion in the city also occurred at the same time.

The guys hidden in the darkness began to emerge in the heavy rain.

But their harm to the city is really limited. There are powerful guards wandering around the bustling streets and magnificent courtyards day and night. Even if the rat men in the darkness start to call for their companions and gather together, it is probably for these areas. The guy in it has no impact.

Ordinary residential areas, those blocks where decent urban residents live, will also have the power to deal with it. Most of the Holy See Knights are wandering in these blocks.

Ultimately, there aren’t many areas these guys can harass, and the Skid Row is one of them.

Even for the residents living here, it is quite difficult just to stay alive.

But the harder it is, the more you have to bear.

This area is indeed chaotic and dangerous, full of criminals, thieves, robbers, and evil mages. It is an area full of villains. Just living here is like having original sin.

This statement has been told everywhere for a long time, and in the end, even the residents of the slums began to believe these statements.

Is it really so?

The reason why Mountain Dew City is as huge as it is today is that it has undergone three expansions in history, occupying a large area of ​​land.

The nobles’ reasons were valid. The expansion of the city had indeed brought them unparalleled benefits.

But those poor guys were indeed right in front of them. Between the two choices of giving a compensation or beating them into criminals, they chose the second option without hesitation.

Most of the residents in the slums are the descendants of poor people who lost their land during these three expansions and have no ability to live in the city.

Faced with this situation, these poor guys with nowhere to go began to build a series of shacks outside the majestic city, and did some work that city residents were unwilling to do to earn some money to support their lives.

The nobles have always ignored these guys, because their ancestors probably benefited from the expansion of the city.

The rulers of the city mostly ignored them, because they really had nothing to exploit, and the Stargazing Pope was kind-hearted, at least he didn’t leave these poor guys to die outside the city.

But the suffering was not over for them.

The civilization of the Dark-Eye people is obviously much further than that of the rat people, but the residents of these slums are so humble, even compared to the slave rats, they are not far behind.

Today, there is a particularly unexpected figure wandering in the slums.

A knight, a true knight, even though he wore shabby armor and carried a rusty pitchfork.

In the heavy rain, wandering among the continuous shanties, his opponents also included rat-men, but they were not limited to rat-men.

Pagans, evil mages, aliens, and finally the Skaven.

It’s just that his movements didn’t change much. Stab, tease, and press. These three simple movements were like playing with hay in the farmland, but they were suppressing the rising guys in the battle. In this Fighting in the heavy rain.

The residents here can’t pay them much, and even if they ignore them, they don’t have to worry about being condemned. These guys have long been beaten into criminals.

He had no need or reason to fight here, but he did not retreat.

The figure is not tall, even a little rickety, but it is exceptionally dazzling, even in this dim light.

The rat people retreated again, leaving behind an incalculable number of corpses. The losses of the city’s defenders were more serious than last time. The heavy rain that still didn’t stop weakened the effect of the kerosene. After the fur all over their bodies was wet, even if they were immediately ignited by the flames, the rat warriors could still climb up for a while.

During this siege, the Ratmen rushed onto the city wall many times, and the two sides fought in a melee on the large city wall.

But they were all driven down in the end, and there were enough magic knights stationed on the city wall.

In the heavy rain, the defenders on the city wall began to clean the battlefield.

In the shouts of the knights, the guards who were slumped on the city wall were called up. It was not the time to rest yet. The rat-man corpses piled up on the city wall were thrown down together, and the weapons scattered on the ground were collected. The large and small blacksmith shops in Mountain Dew City have the ability to forge and remelt weapons.

The constant influx of ratmen left behind a large number of spears and a variety of strange weapons. These things will not be wasted and will be put into use again after being recycled.

Buckets of scalding hot water were carried up the city wall, with some floating herbs soaked in them, used to drive away the cold from the rainy knights and soldiers.

At the same time, some mages specializing in healing also appeared in the towers on the city wall.

As the central city of this rich province, all kinds of things in Mountain Dew City are quite complete.

Especially in terms of medical treatment, the injured guard was carried into the tower, and healing spells were cast one by one, accompanied by quick and accurate treatment of wounds.

The messy battlefield was quickly dealt with and cleaned up.

The Stargazing Pope climbed onto the city wall and stopped in the tower. This time the rat people did not completely retreat into the darkness, but chose to set up camp far away from the city wall. You can see the shadowy scarlet on the city wall, densely packed. Every point represents the existence of a rat man.

The reply that arrived today made the Stargazer Pope feel very bad. Mountain Dew City can indeed resist the Rat Man’s attack, but it is obvious that the current confrontation is just the beginning.

Without support, can this city really sustain itself for a long time?

Looking at the shadowy scarlet eyes outside the city, he made a decision.

Be prepared. Without reinforcements, stubborn persistence is just a slow death.

In the slums, as the rat army retreated outside the city, the sneaky guys who had appeared quickly retreated as if they had seen the sun. The brutal battle was over, and the Pitchfork Knight leaned on his knees and panted on the street regardless of his appearance.

Around him, many corpses were listed.

This was not an easy battle, but it was easy, and the pitchfork in his hand was still handy.

Panting, it’s not easy! Make such an exclamation.

Regarding his appearance, the residents in the slums were not so enthusiastic.

A little scared, after all, knights and nobles are always so intimidating, but there are many figures secretly watching here through the simple curtain, watching the knight breathing heavily in the middle of the street.

Some guards arrived in a hurry and cast their eyes at the Pitchfork Knight in the middle of the street in surprise.

The Pitchfork Knight with the corpses beside him looked so bright.

At the sight of the guards, Pitchfork Knight stood up consciously, came to the edge of the street and sat down against a simple shanty.

The guards came to their senses and continued their actions. They began to shout loudly and recruit people. Soon, figures emerged from the shanties. From this, the area began to become lively.
