The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 68 There Are Bad Rats

The first stage of work is to dig out the foundation of the aqueduct.

Ickert first took the cave monitor lizard and walked through the predetermined water diversion route, applying magic along the way to loosen the top soil.

This process is actually the most time-consuming, because the cave monitor lizard has limited mana reserves, and it takes time to recover mana.

Fortunately, as a source of high magic pressure, Ikert could directly pour magic power into it, so it didn't take too long.

The act of forcibly instilling magic power is very dangerous. If the pressure cannot be properly conveyed, it may cause damage to the magic power organs.

Fortunately, Ikert only used the cave monitor lizard as a consumable, and it could be used for a year or two, and he would tame more monsters by then.

After finishing the preparations, Ickert directed the cave monitor lizard to push the canal.

Ickert had to admit that the feeling of riding a monitor lizard straight through the loose soil was really cool.

The speed of the cave monitor lizard is not slow, and the soil that has been ravaged by magic has basically no resistance. The cave monitor lizard walks through the mud like swimming.

It feels like a tank.

The only fly in the ointment is that the cave monitor lizard will break the stones and tree roots along the way, and these gadgets will hit Ickert in the face from time to time.

He had to stop the monitor lizard halfway, and continued working after putting on his helmet.

One person and one lizard ran in the jungle until the afternoon, and finished the work around five o'clock, opening up the channel all the way to the vicinity of the territory.

The overall depth of the ditch is comparable to that of monitor lizards, close to half a meter deep, and nearly one meter wide.

The ditches pushed out by the bulldozer lizards are not yet qualified, but as a prototype, it has greatly reduced the workload of the territory.

In the follow-up, the rat people will be arranged to further repair and improve, and finally realize the water connection.

At this point, the exhausted monitor lizard couldn't take it anymore, and fell to the ground with its belly turned over.

He could only reluctantly accept the sugar cane being fed by the people, and quickly recover his physical strength under the action of sugar.

But it really doesn't want to regain its strength.

Although it felt a little better than being punched to death alive, but thinking of how many years this kind of life would last, the cave monitor lizard felt that it would be better to die sooner.

But it's too late to say anything now, it has already signed a contract, and now the desire to survive has the upper hand.

"Master, I really can't move anymore, can you restore some magic power for me?"

The cave monitor lizard pleaded that this request was reasonable, and Ickert knew very well that a monster that had exhausted its magic power was like a human being who rushed too much, and its physical functions would be greatly affected.

It's just that this effect is what Eckert wants

Once the monitor lizard runs out of magic power, it has to sleep all night to recover, just in time to save everyone from guarding against it.

You can't give it a fist every night.

"You really don't have any magic power?"

Ickert asked, looking up and down the monitor lizard with vigilant eyes.

"Yes, master, I'm really gone, I can barely walk a few steps."

The monitor lizard looked at Ickert pitifully. It was really not feeling right now, and it could only barely walk. Its precarious appearance made one wonder if it would stop eating halfway.

No matter how bad the lord treats it, at least he is still a person!
Humans are not beasts. Humans are kind-hearted. Monitor lizards often take advantage of human weaknesses to hunt.

But it didn't expect that Ickert's eyes lit up when he heard what the giant lizard said.

"You still have the strength to walk? That's great!"

To save him from instilling magic power to let the monitor lizard walk into the territory.

"Let's go, let's go quickly, don't run out of energy and can't walk for a while."

"."

The cave monitor lizard was speechless, so it had no choice but to give up its fantasy and move on, moving towards the territory with difficulty.

The team moved again.

After leaving the territory for so long, Ickert is really worried about the situation in the territory.

It is said that it is close to the nostalgia, but for Ickert, the closer he is to the territory, the more afraid he is to see a scene of chaos.

Although there is a system left by him to guarantee the operation of the territory, there are too many ratmen, and Ickert is not surprised if something happens.

Sure enough, just as Ickert and the others walked on the dirt road back to the castle, the accompanying knight servants spotted a running rat man at a glance.

"My lord! There is a mouse running over there!"

"what happened?"

Ickert followed the direction of the knight attendants, and found that there was indeed a ratman running in the field, with several ratmen chasing after him.

It seemed to be a slave rat. The clan rats of the Love Clan were not so thin, and the clothes were enough to cover up their shame.

And it seemed that they had found the traces of Ikett and others, and the slave mouse immediately turned around when it saw this, and ran towards Ikett as if desperately.

"My lord, it seems to be a deserter, what should I do, should I kill it?"

The attendant pressed the steel sword in his hand, a little eager to try.

But Ickert was determined to find out the specific situation, and did not intend to kill the rat directly.

"Don't kill it, first catch it and question it, Geralt, you go with him."

"Yes, my lord."

The two knight attendants responded, and immediately ran towards the slave mouse.

Before the slave Shushu could react, the two attendants who ran up to Shushu stood up, one on the left and the other on the right, and returned to the team.

"Say! Why are you running away!"

Geralt directly pulled out the steel sword and put it on the slave mouse's neck, which startled the mouse, trembling but unable to speak.

It's bad, it's bad, I slipped out while the captain was not prepared and didn't say anything, now it's good, and I even alarmed the lord!

Everyone knows the scent of the lord, and the scene of the Clawscar clan being slaughtered that day is still vivid in my memory. Once the rats smell the smell of the lord, they will be afraid of being killed.

The team leader at the back is about to move closer to this side. When the fact of his escape is revealed, how can he survive?
At the critical moment, Shushu had a bad idea.

He managed to overcome the fear of being caught by the lord, and said:

"Leader, my lord! They! Those clan rats! They want to rebel against you!"

"what?"

Geralt on the side was startled when he heard this. There were nearly 500 ratmen, and they were all equipped with weapons. What if it was the other way around?
"Quickly tell me clearly! Who is it! Who wants to rebel!"

Geralt's blade tightened the grip on the slave rat, and it only took one step to cut his throat and kill him. The atmosphere was tense for a moment.

"It's Genier! Chief Genier is going to rebel! He plans to use evil schemes to kill you!"

So said the Slave Rat, and his words caused panic in the party.

But Ickert didn't quite trust the rat.

The chance of the Ratman rebelling is not without, and it is quite high.

Just in the game in his previous life, Ickert experienced the feeling of being betrayed by Shushu.

His best general led the most elite troops to mutiny, which really made people's blood pressure soar.

But the real world is not a game. If the weak Genier chooses to rebel, he will not be able to secure the position of clan leader. He is not the only one who can fight Stormrat within the clan.

If Genil wants to rebel, Ickert is worried that he will not be able to resist the backstabs of other ratmen.

The love clan that this rat can command depends entirely on Ikett to support him.

And looking around, the teams of the love education camp are collecting the dead bodies of weeds according to Ickert's instructions, and the order is barely good.

The sentinels of the castle were still on guard, and even the smoke from the canteen didn't stop, and they were still preparing to cook.

If he really wanted to rebel, how could he let the slave mouse out and leak the news, and how could it be these little soldiers who came to chase the mouse?
A clan rat with his slave rats, these rats obviously belonged to a small team.

Ratmen are just short-sighted, not actually stupid.

"You bastard! Your lies are so clumsy! Geralt! Hold him down!"
