From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 101, Fear of Climbing
Soon after, the last batch of young ratmen were brought in by the priests.

The Western Expeditionary Force in the Third War of the Ratmen has officially set out.

There wasn't much ceremony, nor was there any farewell before the battle.

The huge army of ratmen poured out of the outpost and poured into the lush forest in front of them.

This was an expeditionary force that not many ratmen were optimistic about, not because of the young ratmen that filled the army, but because of the unknown Long Claw and Rope Seven, who was only known for his good luck.

But even so, a large number of Big Claw Priests set out after the Western Expeditionary Force set out.

Just like when the Rat War conquered the Wetland Kingdom, the Big Claw Priests would bring young ratmen, blood mushrooms, and a large amount of supplies to follow behind the army until they could no longer keep up with the expeditionary force.

Of course, this team will not be composed entirely of Big Claw Priests. Some rat-man priests who are eager for merit will also be mixed in this team.

In short, the war began.

………….

After only walking a distance, this huge army was discovered. Scattered boarman knights appeared not far from the army, watching the army from afar and following the huge ratman army forward and backward.

This was noticed by Sheng Qi.

Without calling the Rat Knight who was still in the running-in period, under the command of Sheng Qi, the huge group of rats quickly passed through the various secret caves scattered throughout the forest and disappeared from the surface in front of the Boar Knight.

The boar riders looked at each other. Obviously, even though all the hidden cave entrances were now exposed, they did not dare to go underground to track this huge rat army.

Soon after, the knights brought news of the impending war to all the surrounding cities, watchtowers and camps.

A large number of boar soldiers began to gather on the city walls.

That night.

Densely packed eyes appeared outside the boar man's core city located in the forest.

The wild boar people are very discerning in choosing core cities. The reason why they are core is because of their important locations. If you want to attack, then this city must be taken.

This is why Sheng Qi appeared here with the ratman army.

As for why they didn’t just flow directly into the city in front of them through the underground tunnel.

Because the road was blocked by the waterway outside the city.

This waterway dug by the boarmen played the role it was supposed to play and successfully blocked the ratmen from crossing the defense line from underground.

The underground tunnel was dug and a large amount of river water poured into it. Fortunately, the rat people had been prepared for this situation.

Thanks to the slave-catching priests who did these things.

The river water only flooded a large tunnel near the waterway and did not spread out. However, just that flooded underground tunnel caused great trouble.

But this is not the biggest reason why Sheng Qi gave up traveling underground.

No matter how troublesome this water-filled underground tunnel is, it will not be a problem as long as we devote enough ratmen and spend some time.

After all, it was not the first time that the rats who were digging the city in the mountains had discovered groundwater.

It just takes some time.

But the Eastern Expeditionary Force has already begun to assemble, and soon they will officially set out to the lush forests of the East to continue the war against the Lizardmen.

Even after delaying here for a while, even though this initially built and improved defense line was very annoying, the two armies joining forces would undoubtedly be able to tear it apart easily.

But can Shengqi choose this way?

No!

Sheng Qi had to achieve results before the Eastern Expeditionary Force set out. He didn't have time! He gave up the idea of ​​digging a tunnel for a surprise attack without hesitation.

Then the only thing left is to forcefully cross this narrow waterway and storm the core city of the wild boarmen in front of them.

The waterway outside the core city is not wide, only about three or four meters wide.

However, more than 100,000 ratmen troops were entrenched outside the city at this time, and this waterway was not enough to stop the ratmen army.

But obviously, this tall city built by the wild boar people did not rely on this narrow waterway to defend against the enemy.

The burning braziers dispelled the darkness. The boar archers and spearmen were already on the battle line on the city walls, with rolling logs and falling rocks ready.

A series of ferocious crossbows were also pushed onto the city wall.

But even these did not bring much sense of security to the boarmen warriors on the city wall.

A boarman warrior who was nervously operating a crossbow couldn't help but swallow.

In front of him, tiny lights of different brightness gathered in the darkness, like ears of wheat swaying in the wind, almost covering the entire world before his eyes.

But these things are not ears of wheat, not the fireflies gathering in the forest at night, nor are they the stars twinkling in the sky!

They are all eyes! They are all eyes!
Even though they were far apart, the tiny sounds still rang in his ears. The crossbow in his hand was tightly grasped, and his heart beat faster and faster.

Because of the instinctive fear of dense things.

The galloping knight had already brought the news that not long ago, a city suddenly destroyed in the forest, but he did not take it seriously.

Until these mice appeared in front of me, when everything seemed real in front of me.

Only the guy who was waving his arms arrogantly in the tavern yesterday and never took the weak rats seriously can experience a different feeling!

That fear of climbing.

He almost yelled out loudly, losing control of himself!

"Damn it! How many ratmen are there here?"

In fear, he pulled the trigger, and the thick crossbow arrow flew across the sky and disappeared into the darkness in the distance with a whistling sound.

But obviously, this did not give him courage.

The tiny sounds suddenly became extremely amplified, harsh and noisy.

This arrow broke the peace between the two sides.

With sharp shouts, the rats rushed over!

Flustered commands were heard on the city wall, and crossbows began the attack first.

There is almost no need to aim. When the dark wave appears in front of you, a random attack will definitely cause damage.

Each arrow fired from the powerful crossbow can kill many ratmen like a string of candied haws.

But this was of no use. It was even difficult to create a gap in the influx of ratmen.

Almost instantly, the tide of ratmen arrived in front of the narrow waterway.

The boar archers began their attack, and the ratmen were within their range.

As the arrows were thrown, the narrow waterway was soon dyed a bright red.
