From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 15: The Rough Structure of the Ratmen
At the edge of the forest, some wooden watchtowers have been built, with scattered lizardmen standing on the towers, looking far away in the direction of the mountains.

At night, pairs of eyes lit up in the direction of the mountains, and began to approach the forest in the cover of darkness. However, the moment they approached, the sudden ignition of fire immediately broke the courage of these mice to approach.

They fled in all directions and disappeared into the darkness.

On the other side of the hillside, the spear rat watched the scene from afar and waved the spear in his hand angrily.

"What a bunch of damn, damn, damn cowards!"

A large group of ratmen gathered behind him, and from time to time some ratmen would even trek in from the depths of the mountains.

The grumpy Spear Rat finally gave the order!

"Charge! Charge! For the sake of God!"

Driven by the spear rats, large groups of rats began to charge towards the forest. Under the bright moon, they rushed towards the lizardman's watchtower like a tide.

Facing the rats' charge, a team of lizardmen warriors rushed out of the forest and fearlessly formed a formation to meet them, as if they were reefs facing the tide.

Soon, the collision between the two began, but the rats did not have any advantage. Even though the rats still had the advantage in numbers, many rats began to flee with their eyes flashing.

The Spear Rats once again organized a supervisory team, and the fleeing ratmen were captured and executed on the spot.

When the ratmen collided with the lizardmen warriors, three different combat situations emerged.

Ratmen and lizardmen, ratmen and ratmen, ratmen and ratman supervision team.

This group of newly grown ratmen may have become more irritable because they have eaten blood mushrooms, but this is not a good thing. Being easily defeated is still their characteristic.

The more violent new ratmen dared not point their spears at the Lizardmen in front of them when they fled. Instead, they would violently tear open the throats of the ratmen blocking their way behind them.

Then, they encountered an even more violent supervision team and were executed on the spot.

The battlefield was in unspeakable chaos. Despite the absolute numerical disadvantage, Lizardmen kept coming out of the forest and joining the battle.

Finally, in the chaos, the spear rats that realize they are defeated will let out sharp cries. Only then will the rat supervisors put down their spears, and the rats will be able to flee to the rear as if they had been pardoned.

The Lizardmen did not chase after them, but just watched from afar as the group of ratmen in front of them fled.

It was a brutal battle, the ratmen left behind hundreds of corpses, and five or six lizardmen also died in the siege.

Judging from the casualty ratio, this was a resounding victory, but there was no joy on the faces of these lizardmen, because such attacks had hardly been interrupted in the past few days, and the number of attacking rats had never decreased.

On the hillside, the final battle was underway. A large number of ratmen were found by a one-eyed ratman and his supervisory team. They were knocked to the ground on the spot and were strung together on a rope like cargo.

These are the ratmen who fled in the battle, and the ratman who was searching for them was a squad leader appointed by the Spear Rat. His name was Good Eyes. The reason for his appointment was his name, as this one-eyed ratman had particularly good eyesight.

Can help the Spear Rat keep an eye on and remember those Skaven that flee during battle.

Even though the Ratman Overwatch Team has firmly guarded the rear, there will still be many who slip through the net. They will flee to the surrounding areas and then return again when the Ratmen retreat.

This kind of ratman will be remembered by the good eyes and will be found, knocked to the ground and tied up during the recovery period after the battle.

Not long after, the Spear Rats launched another charge against the rats. This time, the bodies of the dead rats and some bodies that the Lizardmen had not had time to clean up were snatched back by the rats.

When the battle subsided, a ratman holding a wooden stick arrived with a group of small guys, and brought with him the cave mushrooms that the small guys were carrying on their backs.

The ratman did not look for the spear rat, but first found Good Eyes. He counted the number of rats tied together behind Good Eyes, and after confirming it, he took out a box and handed it to Good Eyes in front of him. Without stopping, he took out a blood mushroom. Good Eyes did not look at the box given by the stick ratman, but focused on the extra blood mushroom.

I was so impatient that I just wanted to snatch it away.

But he failed to snatch it. The rat man with the wooden stick retracted his hand and took the blood mushroom back.

"Long tail, what do you mean!
Didn’t you say that if I catch ten more ratmen for you every day, you will give me a blood mushroom every day? "

"Not enough! Not enough! You're missing three this time! There are only nine tens, and seven more ratmen. That's not enough!"

Looking at the blood mushroom in the hand of the ratman with the wooden stick, soon, the one with good eyesight set his eyes on the ratmen who were huddled under a huge rock to rest not far away. After a while, he had gathered ten ratmen in total, with a lot more. In exchange, the one with good eyesight also had a dull-colored blood mushroom in his hand.

The wooden stick ratman left, taking the ratman tied with ropes, the bodies of the ratmen and lizardmen, and leaving the little guys he brought with him.

After the wooden stick rat man left, Haoyanshen couldn't wait to eat the blood mushroom in his hand. With a sound of joy, the hair on his body became a little more shiny.

He became a little more greedy for the box in his hand. He remembered something, shuddered, and dared not make any more ideas. He hung the box on his tail and ran towards the top of the hill.

Not long after, the box was handed over to the Spear Rat.

The Spear Rat opened the box in his hand, which was filled with blood mushrooms, among which there were even one or two particularly brightly colored blood mushrooms.

But even so, he still cursed fiercely.

Cursing the white rat for being a bastard and a mean-spirited person.

The Rat Man made no other moves today.

Until dawn, the Lizardmen came out of the forest, some logs were pushed out, and they were building a wooden wall.

Deep in the desolate mountains, in a cave.

Longtail brought back the bodies of the ratmen and lizardmen, as well as a group of ratmen tied to ropes.

The corpses were quickly thrown into the blood lake to nurture more blood mushrooms. The group of tied ratmen were not sacrificed by the white rats, but were driven into the depths of the cave.

There, numerous ratmen were working hard to chisel rocks and dig caves under the watchful eyes of the rat priests.

From time to time, whips would be hit, making these ratmen scream shrilly. From time to time, ratmen would fall down and lose their lives from exhaustion. Their lives would not be wasted, but would be thrown into the blood lake as sacrificial materials to serve as a seedling bed for blood mushrooms.

With the efficient iteration speed of the Rat Man, the effects of these three magic cards were quickly revealed.

A distorted process was also established.

Under the oracle of Du Yuan to dig caves and plant more cave mushrooms, the ratmen who fled during the battle would be sent back to the caves and become slave rats that were used like consumables on the spot. The sharp claws also mostly appeared in the slave rat group because of the long period of digging.

The ratmen who were able to resist fleeing on the battlefield were left behind by the spear rats and became ratmen warriors. After surviving a large number of battles, the ratmen warriors would master the tail-held weapons.

As for the priests, they are selected from the slave rats and rat warriors. Only ratmen who have devout faith in Du Yuan can become priests and master divine arts. They will be accepted by the white rats and become a member of the rat priest group.

That long tail was a ratman warrior who mastered tail-wielding weapons before he became a ratman priest.
