From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 108: The shock of fire and oil

But even being restrained does not mean that the quality of the Boar Knights themselves is not good enough.

However, it is difficult for them to predict the attack positions of the ratmen. If they are scattered, they can rush to where the problem occurs.

The small scattered knight units were able to quickly reach the attacked city.

But they can't stop the ratmen from attacking the city. Even if they join, the casualties of the ratmen army will increase greatly.
But the ratman commander obviously didn't care whether the ratmen suffered more or fewer casualties.

If they were to form a large knight force, they would be able to confront the ratman army head-on. Even if they were restrained, the hard power was there and the ratman army was no match for the boar knights.

The cities in the forest are their primary targets, but the boar knights that have gathered together may not be able to arrive in time before the city is destroyed.

This is a difficult problem to solve.

The cities built in the forest became a burden to the wild boar people at this moment.

If only a few cities were built at key nodes to maintain the supply lines, the situation the wild boar people would face would not be so complicated.

The mistake was that they had already started to seize land and development before the war situation became clear.

Camps and small cities are built based on core cities, and the huge boar army is also divided into groups and scattered in core cities.

But now the boar knights stationed in a single city cannot face such a large number of ratmen army.

However, we cannot ignore the wild boar civilians in those small cities.

It is easy to say that the troops are transferred and combined, but the transfer of wild boar warriors from each core city is equivalent to giving up more than ten times the number of wild boar civilians.

Who dares to make such a decision decisively?
Not to mention that the boarman commanders in every core city don't dare, even the core commander of this prosperous battlefield doesn't dare.

The priests also turned a blind eye, because such a strategy was given according to the will of God. Now such a serious mistake has been made, and so many ordinary boarmen have to be abandoned. The priests will never take the responsibility for such a huge fault.

God's decisions cannot be wrong and must be correct and wise.

For the time being, the boarmen had no way to gather the forces scattered throughout the lush forest, leaving only the boarmen warriors scattered in various core cities and the frustrated knights who were constantly running wildly in the forest.

But there are smart people among the boar commanders.

This problem seems troublesome, but it is also easy to solve.

What if the attacked city could hold out a little longer?

As long as the attacked city can hold out for a little longer, it will be able to wait for the support of the knights.

To this end, a rather strange ravine was dug outside the city by the steady boarman commander.

Yes, this city is where Sheng Qi first tasted victory, and it is the first city destroyed by Sheng Qi.

At that time, the city's walls were only half built, and there were not so many boarmen warriors stationed in it.

Now that the city has been built, the crossbows for defense have been set up, and a large number of boar warriors are stationed in it.

Of course, Sheng Qi is no longer the same person he was before. He now has a huge army under his command and is the commander of the Ratman Western Expeditionary Force.

It's fate that Sheng Qi and the boarman commander in this city have a connection.

When Sheng Qi was defeated by the boarman cook in the camp, the commander who now presided over the city in front of him came to investigate.

In the stalemate, that bit of light disappeared completely and the rope turned around.

He realized what such strange trenches and tactics were for and didn't care about anything else.

The towering battle flag was raised by Sheng Qi, loud and sharp shouts rang out, and the huge ratman army accelerated the pace of the attack.

More ratmen were driving Love out of the underground tunnel and falling into the strange ravine in front of them, layer upon layer.

A crazy charge. Gradually, even though they had the advantage of terrain, the wild boar warriors in the ravine could no longer hold on.

See this situation.

Under the waving flag, the boar knights in the ravine quickly gave up their defense and began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Behind them, a large group of ratmen were chasing them relentlessly.

Until one by one the pitch-black wooden barrels were pushed to the front of the ravine after all the boar warriors had left the ravine.

This scene made Sheng Qi feel a little uneasy.

Soon, this feeling came true.

When the dark wooden barrel was pushed into the ravine, it broke apart under the impact, and the contents inside spilled out.

It was some black, sticky liquid.

A large number of rat warriors and young ratmen were contaminated with this black sticky liquid.

The brief panic caused some commotion, but it seemed to have no other effect.

The rat tide is about to start flowing again.

Until the flaming arrow streaked across the sky.

The terrifying flames suddenly rose up and spread at an incredible speed, and a rising wall of fire appeared.

In an instant, the rat tide's charge paused, and the ratmen who were stained with the black sticky liquid were set on fire one by one. If they were stained with a lot of liquid and it covered their entire bodies, they would be swallowed up by the rising flames in an instant. But if they were stained with less liquid...

The fire would not take the ratman's life in such a short time. He fled madly and pounced on his companions in panic, trying to extinguish the fire.

But this burning black viscous liquid is not so easy to extinguish.

Wailing and chaos were spreading rapidly.

No matter whether it was the young ratman, the ratman warrior, or the veteran ratman warrior, they could only wail under this horrific flame.

The ratmen's charge stopped, facing this horrifying scene, even the unaware ratmen in the back pushed forward.

These unlucky guys who were at the forefront didn't dare to move forward no matter what.

In panic, he madly pushed forward.

Even Sheng Qi was stunned by this scene.

The expression on his face changed drastically.

It's unbelievable that this situation suddenly occurred.

He didn't understand what was going on, and what was that horrifically spreading fire?
Sheng Qi subconsciously turned to the old priest beside him for answers.

It was obvious that the old priest was also confused about this situation.

The old priest felt no magical power in the lit flame.

The two of them stared at each other.

If Du Yuan could see this scene, he would be able to easily recognize what the black liquid is.

oil!
