From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 122: Pale Ashes Pile Up into a Road

They are catapults operated by a large number of ratmen.

These catapults were not sophisticated but rather crude, hastily built using logs from the forest.

It's not surprising, as it was originally modeled after the more sophisticated catapults on the city wall not far away.

Poor imitation.

But this crude imitation is enough to deter the powerful beast soaring in the sky.

Because of the special ammunition made by the ratmen.

The ratmen, with swollen and bloody bodies, were pressed by the ratmen warriors at the launching end of the catapults to serve as ammunition for the catapults.

At the call of Rat Zhan, the swollen ratmen that were flying and wailing in the air were launched towards the dragon beast in the sky.

It was just easily dodged.

The bloated young ratman fell to the ground with a desperate wail, exploding into a piece of wriggling, deformed flesh and blood.

Indiscriminately attacking everything around.

It was this pollution that made the Black Dragon Beast instinctively fearful. Even if the fire on its back wanted to drive it, the Black Dragon Beast was unwilling to approach the Rat War that was protected by layers of catapults.

If you look closely, you can see that a corner of the Black Dragon Beast's right wing is clearly missing, and some granulations are wriggling strangely on the wound.

That was a strange phenomenon caused by being contaminated by deformed flesh and blood.

It was also at the beginning of the battle that Rat War gave the giant dragon beast a surprise.

At that time, these crude catapults had not yet been imitated.

However, he used himself as bait and held the banner high as a gift to the Black Dragon Beast and Fire.

In exchange for this great gift, Shu Zhan had a hideous scar on his body caused by acid burns.

The right wing of the black dragon beast was affected by the distorted flesh and blood. If Huo had not cut off the distorted part in time, the rapidly spreading distorted flesh and blood would have completely engulfed the right wing of this powerful dragon beast.

The dragon beast will lose the ability to fly.

What a pity, this dragon beast entering adulthood is much tougher than the dragon egg after all.

But this also left the giant beast with great fear. At this time, it instinctively refused to get close to those swollen young ratmen, and even the constant comfort of fire was of no use.

On the back of the giant dragon, the one-eyed Huo stared at the flag-waving Shuzhan.

With a cruel smile, Shu Zhan performed a throat-slitting gesture.

This is already the fifteenth day of the Rat War siege.

The thick black smoke from the blast furnace immediately attracted the attention of Shu Zhan who arrived with the Eastern Expeditionary Force.

Rat War came to the door.

After discovering that the leader of this city was that damn red lizard, all tactics were thrown out the window.

Amidst the roar, a brutal siege began.

Most of the ratmen warriors still held wooden spears, but the enemies they faced had already begun to wear iron armor.

Even due to time constraints, the blacksmithing skills of the Wetland Kingdom are just in their infancy.

Most of the warriors of the Wetland Kingdom could only barely put on a crude armor made of two simple iron plates.

But compared to the Eastern Expeditionary Force that was still using wooden spears, it was a huge crushing defeat.

But the battle was not easy. Even though iron had been used by the Wetland Kingdom, there were more ratmen coming, and their troops were not even as elite as those during the last ratman invasion.

Lizardmen and snakemen only occupied a very small part of the city's garrison. The majority of the warriors were those howling dog-headed men and those stupid and dull swamp fishmen.

Even the kobolds, who were fanatical followers of the dragon, were gradually losing morale when faced with the endless influx of ratmen.

Even the dragon beasts hovering in the sky could no longer boost the morale of these dog-headed people. Shu Zhan led the Eastern Expeditionary Force to besiege the city for fifteen days.

This brutal siege has lasted for fifteen days.

Even though the city still had ample supplies, fighting continued that day.

The roar that lingered in my ears at that moment, and all I saw every day was blood and death.

As days like this continued, except for those dazed swamp fishmen, even the lizardmen warriors in the city could hardly survive.

In contrast, the rats suffered almost tragic casualties during the brutal rat war that lasted for fifteen days.

The Ratman Eastern Expeditionary Force had a scale of 100,000 ratmen when it set out, but now only more than 20,000 have been lost.

Although this is also related to the fact that there are not many real ratmen warriors in the Eastern Expeditionary Force, and the troops are filled with a large number of young ratmen.

But in just fifteen days, as many as 20,000 ratmen fell in front of the city, which was enough to show the intensity of this siege.

If it weren't for the black dragon beast soaring in the sky under the command of Fire, it would often be able to complete the rescue on the front line in great danger.

There is simply no way that the city's defenses could hold up to this day.

Moreover, Shuzhan didn't feel sorry for the dead rats at all.

In this cruel war, the strong rats survived, while the weak ones all died.

All the ratmen were piled up in front of the city by Rat War.

If the first batch of ratmen attacking the city die, the next batch of ratmen will be pushed forward and either capture the city or die.

During the brutal training, the young ratmen who were recruited into the Eastern Expeditionary Force were also growing rapidly.

In a short period of time, the army completed the running-in and training.

Then you will be pushed onto the battlefield to fight or die.

On the city walls, corpses piled up due to the endless fighting, and there was simply no time to deal with them.

The Wetland Kingdom warriors defending the city would not push the corpses out of the city, as this would allow the influx of rats to use the corpses as stepping stones.

It will also make it easier for the ratmen to siege the city.

In fact, now a slope has appeared that has reached half the height of the city wall.

The slope was made of pale ashes mixed with broken and charred corpses.

Because every time the corpses piled up, the kobold wizards on the city walls would summon fireballs to burn them. After the flames went out, the surging ratmen would trample the remaining pale ashes into a road.

Just like that, little by little, a slope made entirely of pale ashes that could no longer be ignited appeared.

The corpses piled up under the city wall had reached the standard for burning.

The kobold wizard on the city wall threw a fireball with relief, igniting the corpses and forming a wall of fire surrounding the gray-black city.

At this moment, both the warriors of the Wetland Kingdom on the city wall.

The rats who were constantly pushed towards the city wall all breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the pressure of flames.

The attack was interrupted.

The rats slowly retreated, and the defenders on the city wall collapsed powerlessly.

Whenever the corpses outside the city wall piled up to a certain level, a blazing fire would be ignited until the flames went out.

During this time.

Now it's time for both the offense and defense to lick their wounds.
