From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 145, the charge of the Rat Knights, the discovery of the coal mine, and Sheng Qi’s decision again.

A team of ratmen knights were galloping across the vast grassland.

There is some difference between the Rat Knights belonging to Rat War and the Rat Knights of Rope Seven.

If Shengqi's Ratman Raiders are more like an all-terrain adaptive monster infantry than a knight.

Then the rat knights under Shu Zhan meet the broad definition of knights.

Fight in clusters and formations, relying on high mobility and powerful impact force.

Especially after Rat Zhan exchanged a large number of metal weapons from the Barren Mountains.

A metal spear and a rough war club, this is the standard equipment of the rat knight.

They found their target this time.

On the grassland not far away, tents appeared in front of us, and as we moved forward, they continued to appear in our sight until they completely filled the field of vision.

Then there were the endless giant sheep, the sheepmen busy in the camp, and the sheepman knights riding on big-horned sheep and running among the giant sheep flocks.

This was the first time these rat knights had seen so many living creatures.

Well, maybe it wasn’t the first time, the Divine Revelation City in the Wetland Kingdom was obviously more prosperous. After two days and three nights of killing, the heads were piled up like a small mountain.

But no matter how prosperous the City of Divine Revelation is, you can only glimpse a corner of it when you get close to it.

And on the vast plain in front of me, everything appeared clearly in my eyes.

The quantitative gap between the two sides can be observed intuitively and clearly.

The rat knights hesitated a little.

No one wants to face a losing battle.

There are only five hundred rat knights.

And in front of him, there were at least 50,000 sheepmen gathered in the vast camp. Although only a part of these 50,000 were warriors, the gap was still more than a hundred times.

This fertile, four-season pastureland feeds the races that gather here.

If Shu Zhan saw the camp in front of him, he would definitely be very happy.

The hesitation didn't last long.

The metal spears behind them were all held in the hands of the leading ratman knight captain.

When Rat War was building the Rat Knight Army, the dull Rat Supervisors were the first to catch his sight.

Who could be more suitable than these naturally flawed, dull and slow rats to form a team destined to charge across the battlefield?

Moreover, they have precious qualities that are extremely difficult for ordinary rat people to possess, namely loyalty and consistent rigidity.

Rat Wars let them attack.

The leading knight captain listened to it.

So at this point, the charge is about to begin.

A rough battle flag was carefully raised by the knight captain.

This was something he had recently acquired by spending a lot of blood mushrooms, and he felt that this would set him apart from other knight captains.

But in fact, it is called a war flag, but in reality, it is just a straight piece of wood covered with a piece of rough unknown leather.

It can be seen that the craftsmanship of the guy who made this battle flag is not very sophisticated, and only a simple section of the god's pattern is engraved on it.

But the Rat Knight Captain liked it very much.

Hold the battle flag tightly in your hand.

Charge without hesitation.

There was no call sign, no mobilization before the charge, only the charge in silence and the crude battle flag fluttering in the wind.

Rigid response orders are the only thing these flawed guys can implement.

This is also the only reason why they can become the Rat War Guards.

The sheep beastmen discovered such a team rushing towards them.

At the same time, a little doubt arose.

How dare these guys?

In the past few days, they have found many strange guys in the nearby grassland.

They appear continuously, yet are so weak.

They were easily driven away and killed, and what was strange was that many of these weak guys knew spells that only priests could use.

But why so weak?
Now even a team of knights has appeared.

But what use is such a weak knight?

A team of sheep-orc knights rushed out of the tent and headed towards the oncoming rat-man knights.

A round of volleys resulted in a large number of arrows falling. On this grassland, there were a large number of light cavalrymen wielding bows.

The sheep orcs are particularly proficient in this because their mounts, the giant sheep, not only can provide their riders with extremely high mobility, but once approached, these ferocious big-horned sheep can also accelerate in the first moment and charge towards the opponent without hesitation.

Arrows fell one after another, and rat knights kept falling off the giant rats.

Even getting close is difficult.

Compared to the knights riding giant rats, the raging giant rats became a greater threat.

When attacked in large numbers, these giant rats will go into a dangerous frenzy.

But he also couldn't reach these nimble sheep-man knights.

Easily dodge it.

The battle was over soon.

The unarmored Rat Knights had no way of facing the nimble light cavalry in front of them, and they were too stiff and dazed to carry any long-range means.

He didn't even think about throwing the metal spear in his hand, he just charged forward.

They all fell on the way to charge.

A weak knight.

This conclusion was easily reached by the sheep beastmen.

Soon, the cleaning of the battlefield began.

This group of weak knights actually have metal weapons, which must be recycled.

Until a scream suddenly appeared in the area.

This immediately attracted the attention of other sheep beastmen.

Among the large number of rat knights who fell to the ground, a rat knight with red eyes stood up, and a sheep-orc knight who was cleaning the battlefield was pierced by the spear in his hand.

The scream came from it.

The spear was drawn.

Blood dripped from the tip of the spear.

The sheep-orc knight fell to the ground, and the rat-man knight with red eyes charged again with a sharp neigh.

Waving the rough battle flag in his hand.

Holding the metal spear in his hand.

This rigid and stupid guy still rushed forward.

Until an arrow flew from a distance and penetrated straight into the chest of the rat knight.

Madness is frozen on the face.

The Ratman Knight Captain fell to the ground lifeless.

After a while, the sheep beastmen dared to approach again.

The metal spear in his hand was taken away, and the crude battle flag he was holding tightly was left behind as useless.

In the distance, a sheep beastman with a bowstring drawn was watching this scene.

Acknowledged the bravery of the Rat Knight Captain.

"He is a brave guy, but unfortunately, he is too weak."

shook his head.

He took the metal spears from the rat knights from his sheep orcs.

Even though this spear is a bit rough.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe the sharp iron rod with an uneven surface.

But that cold metallic luster cannot be faked.

But he remembered that only the wolf beastmen on this grassland mastered the technology of metal smelting and could produce metal weapons.

Where do these guys come from?
Could it be that they also mastered the technology of metal smelting? Some unreasonable thoughts and greed appeared in the mind of the sheep beastman.

Who doesn't love metal?

This news was reported to the upper level, a weak race that seemed to have mastered metal.

It caused a little ripple.

The top leaders of the sheep orcs finally paid more attention to it, but it was not because of the foreign land that appeared, but because of the possible metal veins.

Start actively looking for places where rat people gather.

Although what they don't know is that perhaps they don't need to look for it.

A guy showed up on his own.

The huge team left the simple fortress in the mountains.

A large group of rat knights appeared at the forefront of the huge team, led by Rat Zhan.

At the same time, a large number of rat-men priests carrying scattered teams also filed out of the simple fortress.

They are not part of this team.

But their numbers are not small, like the wild dogs that fell behind him. If the battle goes well, these rat priests don't mind joining the battle, or after the war, they will attack the scattered areas where small-scale battles still exist.

Like a lowly wild dog picking up carrion.

The rat knights did not return.

It's like a signal.

The brutal war will be officially started in the grassland by the rat war.

If those sheep-beastmen still remain so indifferent, then when Shuzhan arrives near the camp, a painful lesson will be learned.

During this period, the size of Shu Zhan's army expanded again.

Two hundred thousand ratmen warriors.

Twenty thousand rat knights.

This is the capital that Shu Zhan has for conquering the grassland in front of him.

………….

Hilly area.

The first encounter between the Skaven and the Half-Elves.

The results weren't particularly good.

The hills were originally the home turf of the half-elves. The rat-men priests who were exploring for mineral veins did not have many troops, and were beaten and fled in panic when faced with the half-elf pioneer team.

The embarrassing escape from the hills boosted the morale of the half-elves.

Until a vein of coal was discovered in the mountains.

The ratman priest who had fled back in a panic brought this news.

In an instant, a decision was made together.

A large expeditionary force was quickly organized.

With Sheng Qi as the commander.

Yes, Sheng Qi is still the commander-in-chief, even though the Waste City is not peaceful.

The ratmen priests inherited their fine traditions.

Despite fierce internal strife and self-consumption, Sheng Qi was quite popular and firmly sat in the position of army commander.

Perhaps it was because he still only mastered one divine art. Yes, Sheng Qi still only knew one berserk art.

A priest who only knows how to cast berserk spell is also an average commander.

This guy has figured out the concept of misaligned competition.

Knowing only berserk spells can hardly threaten the status of other priests, and knowing only berserk spells also ensures that he will always be a member of the ratmen priests.

But at the same time he is a commander with experience in commanding large-scale battles.

I am the best priest among the ratmen leaders, and I am the best ratman leader among the priests.

Sheng Qi embarked on a completely different path from Shu Zhan.

It cannot be said that this path has failed.

Because at this time, the army he led was larger than the one in the Rat War, and the equipment was more elite. There were even two senior priests stationed in the army as support.

His Western Front expeditionary force gathered 400,000 ratmen warriors, at least 5,000 official ratmen priests, 50,000 ratmen raiding knights, and two senior ratmen priests.

Most of the 50,000 raiding knights were equipped with thin iron armor.

Although the armor was indeed thin, it was equipped to each of the 50,000 ratmen raiding knights.

Most of the 20,000 rat knights in the Rat War only had a metal spear and a war club in their hands.

That's the difference choice makes.

But there is also a price to pay.

Even though he controlled such a huge army, Sheng Qi did not command the army by himself, but relied on the rat priests in the army to command the army.

He is the commander of those rat-men priests.

Rather than the commander of this huge rat army.

This brings up a problem.

When he stayed in the Waste City, he would run around among the rat priests with a smile on his face. When he led the army to war, he would also serve the two senior priests beside him with a smile on his face.

It made him a bit confused.

Can he really be considered a big shot?
In fact, it should be counted.

How could Sheng Qi, who already stands above thousands of ratmen and can command such a large-scale army, not be considered a big shot in the ratman kingdom?

But if you compare him to those truly unruly guys, is he really considered worthy?

But if it doesn't count, why is it like this?
Shengqi is a talented mouse, but his talent does not lie in war or wisdom.

It's about negotiation, it's about discourse.

But this could not support his dream.

The big shot he expected shouldn't be like this.

He sensed something was wrong.

But that shallow wisdom could not give him an answer.

Confusion is always with you.

Look up at the deep sky in the dark night.

I also thought of the indifferent expression of the white rat at that grand sacrifice.

This long-lasting confusion finally brought something to Sheng Qi.

Some thoughts, a little change.

Crazy.

Even though this is common among the rat people.

This young ratman priest, this young ratman commander, came up with a bold and crazy idea in the confusion.

He attributes everything to power.
If I could be the high priest, if I could be the high priest like the white rat.

Then I must be a big shot!
The thought spread like a weed in his mind.

But at this moment, he was distracted. Vaguely, he thought of his teacher, the crazy old guy kneeling in front of the boarman temple.

A choice once again lay before him.

God, or power.

Without much hesitation, Sheng Qi made his choice.

that power.

Perhaps it was because the white rat was too deeply engraved in his memory, or perhaps it was because the white rat's cold eyes were so glaring.

He wanted to be a high priest like the white rat.

This idea was confirmed.

But this lucky guy overlooked a problem.

The rights of the white rat never come from the empty title that is held high in the air.

The white rat is the high priest, but the high priest may not necessarily become a white rat.
