The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 85 The Warrior Rat Awakens

puff.

When the sound of the crossbow arrows piercing the air dissipated, three jackals were shot down by the flesh-piercing crossbow arrows, lying on the ground and howling continuously.

A large number of scout rats rushed out from all directions, almost gaining the upper hand with a five-to-one advantage. In the chaos, two Jackals were hacked to death.

Pity these highland gnolls, who are still relatively strong in combat, have no room to play.

Only when Man Shi swung his big stone hammer and knocked out a rat man with a knife on the spot, did the other rat men weigh themselves and retreated one after another, surrounding him.

The Ratmen of the investigation brigade are relatively clever, and will not be tough in everything.

In fact, the jackal named Manshi in front of them has adapted to the local magical environment, and can be regarded as an advanced warrior.

It's just that he has never learned any combat skills, he only has brute force and the skills he found out by himself.

But even so, the Ratmen were not good at confronting professional fighters, unless they had a sufficient number of spears.

Man Shi also discovered this, and took advantage of the Ratman's backing force, and swung it out with a hammer!
Nothing was hit.

The scouts carefully kept their distance from Manshi, and no fool rushed forward to be hammered by him.

When it comes to escaping, they are professionals.

But Man Shi also roared, and rushed directly to the retreating scouting rats. The scouting rats didn't make things difficult for him, and let him rush out without letting go.

In front of Manshi, 4 crossbows were already in place at some point, and the arrows slammed into his body with powerful kinetic energy, failed to penetrate, but still pierced his internal organs.

His lungs were constricting, and every breath of Man Shi's breath was now mixed with the heat of blood, and he even felt the blood soaking his kidneys.

If conditions permit, how could he be killed so easily with his strength as a fighter?

However, even a warrior is still a human being, not steel, but a creature, and can be killed. As long as he holds a sword with a killing range of less than one meter, he will be played by long-range weapons with a longer range.

Man Shi died unwillingly.

So far, Ickert and his party have never waited for more gnolls. The ratmen collected the gnoll corpses and prepared to take them back to the territory to eat.

Only the body of the wolf man Manshi was protected by Ickert's order.

The reason for doing this was not because Ickert was in awe of the wolf warriors, but because of the rational use of resources.

Ikert also used "Warrior's Blood" to engrave runes before, because for soldiers whose bodies have been tempered by magic, their bodies themselves are excellent magic materials.

It was a pleasant surprise.

Not only blood, but actually like flesh and blood, large intestines, small intestines, and even rectums, these things can guide demons.

It can be said that every soldier is a treasure.

Many of the "warrior's blood" he used before were sponsored by his baron father.

Perhaps among the spell-casting materials Ickert used before, there may be the remains of his ancestors.

By the way, if you dig out the head of a mage like him, there is a high probability that you will also get a third-order magic crystal.

The quality of these special materials depends on the level of the person, and it will also fluctuate according to the degree of exercise of each part.

What Eckert has to do now is to collect these materials.

He ordered the Ratman to cut Manshi's wrist artery open, and expand the output of life stimulation to make Manshi's heart beat again, so that blood could flow into the leather water bottle.

It took about five jugs to collect the fresh blood.

Then they ordered the rats to dissect it on the spot, take out all the bones except the skull and put them in sacks. These warrior bones can be ground into magic bone powder, and they can also be directly used as magic wires for making wands.

There are also all intestinal knots, which can also be used as magic ropes after treatment.

Only the flesh and other internal organs, Ickert really didn't have materials to deal with these things, so he took them away.

After a set of processing procedures, even the rat people began to wonder if the clan leader was a rat in human skin.

This proficient dissection technique, as well as the detailed knowledge and understanding of the living body, it is hard not to remind the rat of the Mordel clan.

Fortunately, they are not fighters, so they will not be used so carefully.

Finally, to take care of the remaining bits and pieces, Ickert called in all the rats who had contributed to the operation.

"This is the flesh and blood of a warrior that contains powerful magic power. If you eat it, you may also be able to awaken the power of magic."

The seductive words provoked the rat people's nerves. No matter what race it was, it was so convenient to gain power by eating food.

Never seen such an easy way to awaken.

But at least as far as native humans are concerned, the most rare thing is the ability to naturally absorb magic power into the body. If ordinary people can have external help, they also have the opportunity to become warriors.

It's just that this kind of acquired fighter is generally not as strong as an innate fighter in terms of spirit, but it is not harmful.

The power is in front of you, and the rats can't wait.

"Targaryen, you have contributed the most this time. The biggest breast meat and the strongest heart will be shared with you. Be careful, you can't cook it. You should eat it while it is the freshest. Be careful after swallowing it all." Keep the magic in your body."

Ickert warned that after losing the restraint of mental power and abnormal flesh quality, the magic power in the warrior's flesh and blood is decreasing every minute, and it must be eaten into the stomach as soon as possible and restrained with mental power.

"As you order, Clan Chief."

Targaryen took the flesh and began to eat it on the spot. The other scout rats also got some, and the rats began to eat the flesh and blood of the wolf man.

After a while, every rat man who ate the flesh felt a magical power start to swim in the body, but soon there was a tendency to escape outward.

The rat people want to keep this power, but most of them can only find sadly that they lack this talent and can only retain a very small amount of magic power.

That's all thanks to Ickert's will training for them. If they were replaced by other Ratmen, all the magic power might be wasted.

After the rats were absorbed, Ickert tested the fineness of each rat with magic.

This test magic is based on the simplest principle of magic pressure, which looks like a magic needle.

Use this thing to stab the ratman, and then look at the reaction of each rat, you can know the strength of each rat's magic pressure.

To Ickert's surprise, among the eight ratmen who ate flesh and blood, three rats had the aptitude of warriors.

Two of them were Targaryen and Lapa, and the two mice responded very well. When Iktor stabbed them, the two mice didn't even feel pain.

This shows that their surface magic pressure is sufficient to defend against "magic needles".

It wasn't until Ickert raised the "Magic Stinger" to the strength of the apprentice's spell that the two rats jumped up on the spot.

This time not only killed all the wolf man scouts, but also harvested two warrior seedlings in one fell swoop, and obtained a large amount of spell-casting materials by the way, which can be said to be quite fruitful.

The entire investigative brigade attacked, and only one mouse was killed by a sledgehammer.

The dead Ratman Ikert didn't intend to let the Ratmen share the food, it's not a good habit.

He just ordered two scout rats to chop up the rat's body for fattening after returning to the territory, and grind the bones for fertilizer.

There is also a skull, which can be used to make a bowl.

Speaking of which, the cafeteria of the love education camp seems to be really short of bowls.

He chopped off the skull of the wolf man Manshi casually, and Ictor gave it to Targaryen as a bowl envoy by the way.
