The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 140 Blood and Debt

After bidding farewell to Priest Birol of the Forest Kingdom, the Wolf Man Ward realized the seriousness of the problem.

As long as their reinforcements send out scouts to inquire about the information on the river bank, they will know their lies.

After all, although there are a large number of this support army, their will to fight will never be higher than that of the life-and-death tribal fighters. Once the situation changes, they will definitely retreat decisively!

Thinking of this, Ward couldn't help feeling very tricky, he had to find a way to trap this friendly army.

"Bab! Go and tell Samir Shaman that we won't be going back."

"Aren't we going back?"

Ward's decision baffled the Warriors.

"Yes, we can't just go back like this. The kingdom lacks the determination to send troops. I decided to stay here and intercept their scouts!"

This move is not only to confuse the main force of the kingdom, but also to make them hate those mice.

In the intelligence confrontation with the Eagle Eye Brigade, although the Jackals were beaten badly, they also learned enough experience and lessons from the constant abuse.

The gnolls of the messenger team were more than enough to stop the kingdom's scouts.

After Ward explained the advantages and disadvantages to his subordinates, the soldiers also accepted Ward's proposal.

They sent only one rider back to report, and then scattered and disappeared into the jungle.

Before long, the spectacle of beating friendly troops will be staged here.

And on the main battlefield on the other side of the river, the Wolf man's forces also began to gather.

The tribes arrived at the Bite tribe one after another with prepared food and wood.

It is worth mentioning that the tribal coalition army is not all composed of tribal fighters. In order to ensure logistics, a considerable number of female wolf men joined the army and were responsible for doing some hard work.

In addition, many old and young wolf men were dragged onto the battlefield as cannon fodder and backup soldiers respectively.

It can be said that the jackals have bet everything on this war, because if this battle cannot be won, the subsequent strengthening of the human territory will only make them more sad.

Due to the full preparations for war, many tribal warriors took iron weapons, and some tribal warriors even went to the battlefield with bows and arrows.

It's just that the training speed of these archers may not be as good as that of the ratmen.

The only long-range method that the Wolf man can really rely on is the stone throwing spear that can be squandered if it is eliminated.

Armed with a variety of weapons, the tribal warriors spent a whole day preparing and marching at night.

The tribal alliance full of women, children and old people has a total of 800 people!Nearly 400 of them are strong tribal warriors, and 150 old gnoll cannon fodder.

With such a huge army, carrying a lot of luggage and timber, it was difficult for the wolf man who had no organizational experience to figure out the way.

Therefore, they can only choose the only road leading to the territory in the forest to march.

The dispatch of a large number of gnolls immediately alarmed the Ratmen of the Eagle Eye Guard, and the intelligence of the enemy's attack was immediately sent to the meeting hall of the castle.

The attack of the jackals was inevitable, so Ickert and his subordinates were already fully dressed and waiting in the chamber.

"Clan chief! The number of enemy troops is [-]! They are marching towards the territory!
Among them, tribal warriors accounted for half, and the rest were poorly equipped old people and children, and there were even a large number of female gnolls! "

Scouting Mouse Report.

"Female, old and young."

As soon as he heard about these groups, Ickert knew that it was because the Jackals didn't have enough young and middle-aged handymen, so he pulled these people up to make up the numbers.

From this point of view, in order to deal with him, the wolves almost came out in full force, betting the fate of the clan.

Every move reflects the importance of the territory.

"Not only that, but they are also carrying a large amount of wood, presumably they are ready to fight a tough battle."

The sentinel reported again. After all, the wolves have the advantage of high ground scouting, and Ickert's general defensive measures are all clear cards. It is abnormal that the opponent is not prepared.

These are expected and there is no need to panic.

"The size and reaction of the enemy army are within expectations. All ministries will carry out defense according to the predetermined plan. The third and fourth battalions will defend the front, the second battalion will defend the left flank and monitor the river bank, and the first battalion will serve as the general reserve team. Waiting to be dispatched, castles guarded by human guards,
The Ministry of Internal Affairs supervises the battle on the second line of defense according to the reservation. The Eagle Eye Guards are ready to attack from the tunnel at any time, and the gun turrets of the armed group are on standby! "

Facing the menacing attack of the Gnolls, Ickert issued a series of defensive orders in an orderly manner. The ratmen and humans under him wrote down their respective responsibilities and replied:

"Obey, clan chief (lord)!"

"The headquarters moved forward to the fort! All departments, enter the battle position!"

Following Ickert's order, the leaders of each unit immediately took the troops to the battle position.

The positions of the third brigade and the fourth brigade were the small slopes of the outer trenches. This small slope one mouse high was enough for the rat people to resist the enemy's direct firepower.

The position of the second brigade is a shooting platform composed of multi-layer trenches and mounds. Since the defense task here is the most difficult, the firepower distribution here can be regarded as very fierce.

After several months of capture and downsizing, for the first time, there were more weapons than ratmen in the territory. A large number of catapults and bow and arrow rats were all equipped with secondary weapons, which gave them a certain melee ability.

Seeing that all the ratmen had arrived at their combat positions, Ickert immediately ordered the female ratmen brigade to deliver meals to the troops.

But whatever food is enough, the rats quickly picked up the food in their hands and began to eat.

After they had eaten and drank enough, the wolf man army also arrived at the outer edge of the trench in the early morning.

As soon as a group of jackals arrived, they smelled the smell of meat coming from the rat man's position.

Seeing this, the Great Shaman of Samir also ordered his subordinates to start a fire and cook food immediately, trying to recover as much as possible before attacking.

At the same time, he ordered his young wolves to start assembling ladders, rafts and other siege equipment under the guidance of human craftsmen.

He also asked his subordinates to set up the bloody battle flag and display it where they could see it in the territory.

The horrifying corpse of a human child, the corpse was cut open in the middle, blood and tears flowed under a pair of white eyes, seeming to accuse the injustice of fate.

The corpse was hung on the flagpole like this, and this scene made all the humans present feel extremely angry.

For the first time, Ickert saw the cruelty of war from the enemy, not only with strategies and tactics, but also with blood and brutality.

However, most of the civilizations on this continent, including humans, are actually just wearing the cloak of civilization.

The enemy is cruel and obscene, so he has to be more cruel and obscene than the enemy.

Otherwise, on this continent, they would only be beaten.
