From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 142, the opening of the regional world, the small friction between the rat war and the rat priest, two choices
He has the right idea.

It’s not that the flesh and blood of gods cannot be accepted by mortal beings, but that they cannot be accepted by weak mortal beings.

Long Claws doesn't have much chance for trial and error.

Whether it is the dragon's heart or the god's flesh and blood, only this last piece is left.

If you fail, everything will be in vain.

But Longclaw couldn't accept this defeat.

Staring at the beating dragon heart in the glass column in front of him.

His expression unconsciously became hideous and distorted.

He absolutely cannot accept failure.

Absolutely not!

………….

After Shu Zhan left, the construction of Furnace City really began.

Even the city's industry is still in its infancy.

But a tall temple was built first.

First there was a huge pit, and then a divine pillar engraved with divine patterns stood in the center of the pit.

Offer a sacrifice.

One by one, the slaves' heads were chopped off and thrown into the blood lake.

The bodies were piled up in a staggered pattern.

The blood that flowed out was simply not enough to fill the huge hole.

Shu Zhan, however, had already cast his gaze eagerly towards the rough blood lake in front of him.

Anxiously waiting.

Until that shallow lake of blood.

A bright mushroom grew from the cold corpse.

At this moment, an extremely exaggerated smile appeared on Shu Zhan's face.

Although the temple built by Shu Zhan was a bit rushed.

But fortunately, at least the pattern on the sacred pillar that belongs to Xiaochun is correct.

In the swaying of blood mushrooms.

The importance of the outpost was greatly reduced.

This former port of the Desolate Mountains was accompanied by the establishment of two cities outside the Desolate Mountains.

Gradually becoming quiet.

Once upon a time, the war started here and ended here.

Countless slaves will go to the underground rat city through the outpost, and the vast and lush forest is also a hunting ground guarded by the outpost.

But at this time, the Waste City rudely took over the lush forest from the outpost.

Slaves are no longer sent to the underground rat city.

Even senior priests no longer come here.

The glory of the outpost is fading, and it is returning to its most essential role when it was first built.

A solid fortress.

Until a tall rat-man assassin came here.

Until the headquarters of both armies were established here.

A huge transport team was organized, and those harmless Big Claw Priests began to travel back and forth between the Twin Cities and the Desolate Mountains with a large number of metal weapons.

Metal weapons were brought to both cities.

Slaves and sacrifices were taken back to the Barren Mountains.

Behind them, some figures hidden in the darkness also followed the transport team, entering and disappearing in every corner where the ratmen appeared.

The other troop was even more brutal.

Two teams of thousands of temple guards swaggered into the two cities and began to announce their takeover of the temples in the two cities.

This caused extremely strong dissatisfaction.

At one point, the two sides were in a tense standoff outside the city.

Until a group of two thousand Knights Templar appeared outside the two cities.

Temple guards entered the city and began to station themselves in and around the temple.

Everyone knows who this means.

Shu Zhan even gritted his teeth and cursed that damn old guy for not going to meet the gods yet.

All I can do is endure it.

However, although the temple guards were stationed in the temples of the two cities, they had no intention of controlling the blood mushrooms.

Both Rat Zhan and the rat priests had to hold their noses and bear it.

But it was also because of the entry of the temple guard.

Some changes have taken place.

The struggling priests in the underground rat city suddenly discovered that they seemed to have found an extra path?
Be able to leave this deep underground and leave this depressing city.

Escape from the endless strife.

Go to that slag city, or the furnace city.

The first choice is of course the Waste City. This city controlled by the rat priests naturally attracts more rat priests who escape from the underground rat city.

But at the same time, some rat priests chose to go to the Furnace City controlled by Rat Zhan.

This trend first started with those restless young priests, and then those ordinary priests who had been hanging around for a long time but had no hope of becoming senior priests.

Eventually it reached the senior priests who were excluded from power.

They brought a lot of things.

The breeding house, the planting room, the excavation team, the carver.

Or even just the one that arrived with a large group of slave rats.

The development of both cities has accelerated and started to run at full speed.

It only took a very short time for the rat people to go from hiding in the barren mountains to spreading across the regional world.

It brought a side effect.

All the ratmen priests came to the two cities for merit and for the blood mushrooms.

But the production of blood mushrooms requires sacrifices.

The rat army set out again, and the area of ​​the world that had been roughly plowed once was baptized by the rat army again.

One outpost after another rose up.

This time, there was no long-term consideration or restraint.

The cost of the development of the two ratmen cities was borne by all intelligent creatures in this area of ​​the world.

All living creatures were quickly thrown into the shallow blood lake, transformed into blood mushrooms, and in the scorching flames, became nutrients for the development of the city.

This act of exhausting all resources brought about a serious consequence.

The flame that had just been ignited, the fire of desire that had not yet had time to burn fiercely, suddenly lost its fuel.

How could the intelligent races, who had been swept away once and had no time to recuperate, withstand such turmoil?

Even the goblins began to disappear in the areas where the ratmen operated.

The intelligent race that was gradually disappearing dealt a heavy blow to the two thriving parties.

But there is no way.

After exhausting all the resources, the world can no longer provide any more food for this area.

Everything requires blood mushrooms, everything requires sacrifices.

But there are not many qualified sacrifices in this area of ​​the world.

There are only some useless guys living in corners and harsh environments.

For example, the several races in the swamp.

Even if Rat War launched another great expedition to the wetlands, it would take a huge amount of effort to capture people all over the mountains in that vast wetland.

I guess we won’t be able to catch many sacrifices.

After they broke away from the urban structure and returned to a scattered tribal structure, chasing these roaming guys in this harsh swamp has become a thankless task.

Similar situations exist with the Pigmen who have fled into the Tiered Hills, and some Murlocs who haunt the rivers and lakes.

But even though it is a thankless task, some priests have already started to set off with their teams.

There is really no one to catch. But this is what the low-level priests do.

Those real big shots obviously won't mobilize their troops for such petty gains, not because they are afraid of losing face.

But some better quality objects are right in front of you.

Friction and confrontation occurred between the Rat Warriors and those senior rat priests.

The resources in this area of ​​the world are only enough for a group of rats to use recklessly.

In terms of power comparison, the ratman priests joined forces with Rope Seven, two expeditionary forces and a larger group of priests, and the Waste Slag City seemed to have an absolute advantage.

But in reality, in the battle between the armies, it was the rat war that had the upper hand.

In that lush forest.

The first melee between the two sides was no small scene.

The rat-man priests sent out 30,000 rat-man troops, and Shu Zhan brought 10,000 rat-man warriors.

The two sides fought for a whole night. In the end, the 10,000 ratmen warriors narrowly won the Rat War and captured 10,000 ratmen troops and took them back for blood sacrifice.

This made the ratman priests feel a little embarrassed.

More troops began to be mobilized.

Even the senior priests decided to join the battle.

And Shu Zhan was even more ruthless. He directly summoned all the troops and decided to launch a surprise attack on the Waste Slag City.

The war was stopped by white rats.

But it is obvious that both sides do not decide to give up so easily.

The two cities immediately entered war mode.

Amid the tension, a big melee is about to begin.

But simply.

The light curtain in the sky began to dim.

The world barrier is about to be released.

………….

Du Yuan finally got the support he wanted, which was the information about gods in other regions of the world.

After reaching demigod status, the self in the academy still exists, but to some extent, it has become a special incarnation.

Du Yuan thought that the ending words of a biography of an unknown god recorded in the library were very good.

The process of becoming a god is a process of moving away.

Du Yuan had already left Yuanwang City at this time. If he took another step forward and had nothing to worry about, then everything in Yuanwang City would have nothing to do with him.

Of course, this does not mean that Du Yuan can act recklessly.

At least not at the moment.

Although Du Yuan actually always wanted to know what would happen if Old Zhang's affair was pointed out directly in front of his old lover's son.

Can this serious guy who is an executive hold it together?

But don't commit suicide.

If he was defeated and his divine body was destroyed, the only one Du Yuan would be left alive would be himself, who is now squatting in the academy.

It’s better not to narrow the road.

Spread out the map you just got.

In the lower left corner of the map, Du Yuan found his location.

The small world where he was thrown was not too vast. It consisted of a main continent and a subcontinent connected to the main continent by a narrow island chain.

Scattered islands and the endless ocean.

Du Yuan initially landed on that subcontinent.

And it is the lowest point of the subcontinent.

The subcontinent is not very large.

There aren't many opponents worth taking seriously.

To the west of the Barren Mountains, above the lush forest, in the vast hills, in addition to the remnants of the wild boarmen, there is also a group of half-elves who have established a kingdom. The guy they believe in has already become a demigod.

God of hills and archers.

To the east of the barren mountains, beyond the vast wetland, there is a towering and steep mountain range.

What you will see is a vast grassland.

There is also a demigod here.

At the same time, Du Yuan judged that the followers of this demigod would also be the most powerful enemy of the rat people on this subcontinent.

Because occupying a vast area of ​​this subcontinent is a vast grassland that spreads from the main continent but is blocked by the towering mountains.

This grassland is extremely vast.

The lush forest currently occupied by the ratmen, plus the adjacent hills occupied by the half-elves, the two together are only barely one-third the size of this vast grassland.

At the same time, many gods, big and small, landed on this grassland.

But there is only one who can become a demigod, and only one who can build a simple pantheon.

Prairie Kingdom.

Two apprentice gods who anchor the sheep orcs serve as auxiliary gods.

A demigod who anchors the wolf orcs as the main god.

The name of the demigod was marked.

God of grasslands and hunting.

He is a rising star.

Looking at the map unfolded in front of him.

This position is not bad. Born in the subcontinent, I was away from the chaos of the main continent at the first time.

In the near future, the main continent will probably be the most chaotic place in the world.

With just a glance, Du Yuan saw densely packed symbols on the main continent, each of which represented the existence of a god.

There were at least a hundred gods fighting on that vast continent.

Although there are only more than ten guys who have ascended to the level of demigods.

But you have to know that if the power is doubled, the intensity of the fight will be far more than just doubling.

If Du Yuan can wipe out those two guys and occupy this relatively independent subcontinent, it will bring him a great advantage.

But the prerequisite is to be fast.

If we delay too long and wait until the final winner is decided on the chaotic main battlefield, and the battle on our side has not yet ended.

There is no doubt that I will become a barbarian.

This is not good.

Just like that, a choice appeared before Du Yuan.

Which opponent should be dealt with first?
It is to destroy the half-elf kingdom entrenched in the hills, completely stabilize the rear, and then fight a decisive battle with the wolf orcs on the grassland.

It is time to take advantage of the fact that the regional world has just been opened up and launch a surprise attack on the wolf orcs to prevent them from sweeping across the grassland and expanding.

Both options have their own advantages.

If we launch a surprise attack on the wolf orcs, we can prevent them from growing bigger. After all, the wolf orcs, who are born to run on the vast grasslands, are undoubtedly the ones who have the greatest advantage in the environment. If we allow them to grow bigger, they will be difficult to deal with.

But there is no way to avoid the possibility of a surprise attack by the half-elf kingdom.

The safest option is to deal with the half-elf kingdom first, relying on the towering mountains and the harsh swamp as a barrier.

Before these wolf beastmen completely unified the grassland, they would never pay attention to this marginal corner.

Du Yuan only needs to destroy the half-elf kingdom to completely pacify the rear.

Both options have their own advantages.

Each has its own disadvantages.

One involves taking risks, but offers the greatest rewards.

The most secure one, but also the one that faces the greatest challenges.

It's hard to choose.

Du Yuan instinctively began to think about the pros and cons.

But he overlooked something very important.

The ratmen under his command were obviously not that honest.
