From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 131, Twin Cities

The Desolate Mountains have always existed as the center of the Skaven Kingdom.

Even though the underground rat city has become a bit outrageous as the rats are tirelessly expanding underground.

But strictly speaking, the Ratman Kingdom only had two cities before this massive expedition.

The underground rat city and the outpost that guards the underground rat city.

However, as the expedition progressed, the size of the Ratman Kingdom's cities instantly doubled.

From two seats to four seats.

And what is quite coincidental is that the two newly built cities are related to the same thing.

iron.

The Western Expeditionary Force and the Central Expeditionary Force, Rope Seven, the spokesperson for Long Claws, and the senior priests who banded together in the underground Rat City, invested in the Wild Boar Man Industrial City and built a new city, the Waste City.

Rat War also keenly realized the importance of iron weapons in the war with the Wetland Kingdom.

Those priests who were awakened from the ratmen warriors during the sacrifice were left by him in the ruined Lizardman blast furnace city.

The only task given to these priests is to make the hard metal again.

The city was named Crucible.

Indeed, before being conquered by the ratmen, both Furnace City and Wasteland City served as industrial cities.

However, the two cities may not be able to operate smoothly.

The towering furnace in the Crucible City had blown up, and the fire element inside had perished in its violent rage.

As for the slag city, well, maybe things will go a little smoother here, as long as the coal mines on the vast plains can be delivered continuously in the future.

Under the tinkering of the rat-men priests who remained in the Waste City.

A large area of ​​untidy and messy but decent blast furnaces stood up in the slag city.

Even the hydraulic forging hammer was roughly replicated, although it was somewhat crooked and rough, making people very doubt the reliability of these things tinkered with by the ratmen priests.

But even if it is unreliable, such progress is undoubtedly faster than that of rival cities.

The Furnace City is currently still a large ruin and a group of rat-men priests are staring at each other in confusion in the ruins.

The Rat War required these new priests who had just awakened from the rat warriors to tinker with industry, which was really a bit difficult for them.

As long as there are no accidents, Waste City will probably become the starting point of the ratman industry.

As long as there are no accidents.

Just at this moment.

A team of priests set out from the Desolate Mountains, led by a member of the Ratman Council, the temple messenger who traveled around the Ratman Empire all year round, worrying about the distribution and transportation of blood mushrooms.

The white rat has been watching this war.

………….

Desolate mountains.

The bottom of the underground rat city.

In the deep abyss.

Xiaochun's patience has gradually reached its limit, and she is eyeing the craftsman's heart in front of her.

The beating heart of the craftsman has become half as weak as it was at the beginning.

Because of the continuous harvest from that increasingly crazy guy.

But the result was gratifying, a slowly beating miniature heart held in the long claws.

He was fascinated by what he saw.

It’s as if I can see everything from this heart.

Careful placement.

The booming ambition was ignited at this moment, accompanied by the crazy laughter.

"That's everything! The key to the long stairway to heaven!
But it's not enough!
This key is perfect!

He needs a lock!

Yes! It is a lock, a perfect lock, a lock between mortals and gods!

Only by locking Him up can all things accept His power! Only in this way can I look up at the sky! "

The long claw looked at the slowly beating red heart in his hand and spoke crazily and nonsense.

At this moment, the flame of ambition was ignited in this deep abyss and began to burn fiercely.

A mouse hiding deep underground actually wants to look up at the sky at this moment?

………….

The procession of priests that set out from the Desolate Mountains changed many things.

On the empty surface of the desolate mountains, densely packed blast furnaces were built.

The slave rats were driven away from the dark underground for the first time in a long time and began to dig on the surface of the mountain.

Soon a winding and deep ravine was formed in this long mountain range.

Until it was developed underground.

Clear groundwater gushed out and filled the gullies.

Bags of pitch-black stones arrived from far away, carried on the backs of giant rats.

Flames ignited in the blast furnace and thick black smoke rose into the sky.

The boiling molten iron was led into the gully and cooled in the steaming water mist.

And was quickly picked up by the slave rats.

The slave rats screamed and wailed as they were burned by the metal that had not yet completely cooled down.

But the big claw priest not far away had already swung the whip in his hand.

During the whipping, everything was happening quickly.

The boar man's more advanced hydraulic forging hammer was directly abandoned.

In this desolate mountain range, even if the groundwater is drawn out, it is still not enough to drive the heavy hydraulic forge like a rushing river.

Instead, tall towers were built.

The heavy forging hammer was tied with thick hemp rope and hung under the high tower.

A large number of slave rats also gathered together, and amidst the whipping and cursing, they pulled the heavy forging hammer with great effort.

again and again.

Amidst this dull sound, the rat people rapidly stepped into the metal age.

Although no one expected that the first to promote this process was neither the Waste City supported by the senior priests nor the Furnace City under Rat Zhan.

But it is an underground rat city in the barren mountains.

The boar man's coal mine completely changed its owner during just one mission of the priest.

Even though everything in the Waste City is ready.

The underground rat city located in the desolate mountains is still the absolute center of the rat kingdom.

But whether it is the Waste City supported by senior rat priests, or the Furnace City in the hands of Shu Zhan.

Neither of these two cities was abandoned by either side.

As the kingdom expanded, many things became rapidly more complicated, and the original differences were not healed, but instead expanded rapidly.

This trend is difficult to suppress even for white mice.

The Rat Wars, who were excluded by the Rat Priests, are seeking a certain degree of independence. The Furnace City, which is being slowly built, is the embodiment of this disagreement.

Rat War needs a place of his own, a place that is completely under his control.

The same is true for the Waste City. With the expansion of the Ratman Kingdom, the White Rat is gradually turning away from the Ratman Priest whom he supported.

When the White Rats chose the path of balance and chose to share power with the rat warlords represented by Rat War.

Then the differences arise.

The Waste Slag City came into being.

These two cities will definitely be driven forward in their construction.
