From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 150, Ratman pollution, the construction of two elite troops, and the desire to be entrusted

The war was over, and some of the guys following the rat army began to become active.

Some scavenger ratmen began to move around the battlefield.

Seizing this precious opportunity, negotiations began with the ratmen warriors.

In the battle just now.

There were also many scavenger ratmen who fell because of their greed and getting too close to the battlefield.

However, most of the survivors still got a lot of resources. They carefully protected their spoils behind them, and at the same time, they smiled and took on the task of carrying the spoils for the ratmen warriors.

The most important spoils for the ratmen are naturally other creatures themselves.

The merit system established during the Rat War only recognized the tail, and there was no requirement for the rat warriors to deliver an entire corpse in order to redeem merit.

Therefore, these corpses scattered on the battlefield will naturally not be wasted.

I don’t know if it’s out of reverence for the gods or just inertia.

Since the rise of the ratmen, the only sacrifices offered to the gods have been the intelligent creatures themselves, or at worst the weak goblins and kobolds.

But there is no rat man who would use simple animals to fool the great god.

In fact, it doesn't have much impact. In the process of the birth of blood mushrooms, in addition to the life essence absorbed from the bodies of living creatures, the resentment of living creatures is also involved.

If those animals without intelligence participated, they could only provide the essence of life, but they could not withstand the excessive resentment of the living beings accumulated here by Du Yuan.

There was so much resentment that even though Xiaochun had been carefully extracting the resentment of living beings from Du Yuan's blood-colored aura, there was still so much resentment that made Du Yuan's blood-colored aura turn slightly black.

At least before the resentment of the creatures in the blood-colored aura surrounding Du Yuan is exhausted, any living creature will be able to sprout blood mushrooms in the blood pool.

The reason why no rat people did this was purely because of the inertia brought about by the long-term habit of sacrifice.

No rat man took the initiative to overcome this inertia.

Maybe it’s because of faith.

Perhaps it is also because of the reverence for the gods.

Although this also brings up a problem, not every battle can capture a large number of opponents, and the value of the killed creatures as sacrifices will depreciate rapidly with the passage of time.

They are not always able to return quickly after the battle.

This is a tricky question.

It is also an extremely urgent need. Under this demand.

Some small teams among the rat scavengers began to act as porters, and the reward was just some blood mushrooms.

One verbal contract after another was finalized.

Teams of rat scavengers began to move the things.

Of course, there is no guarantee that it can be delivered smoothly and intact.

Even if it is delivered intact, there is no guarantee that you will get paid.

There is no such thing as a deposit among the rat people.

Even if everything goes well, both parties will inevitably have to gather people together for a pleasant discussion before it can be finalized.

If a rat warrior who is not strong enough chooses a profiteer who is strong enough, he will inevitably end up with a weak opponent.

Conversely, the same is true for the Ratman Scavengers.

Everyone is choosing the right person to do business with.

It caused a lot of confusion and disputes.

In fact, these problems can be solved with just one sentence from Shu Zhan.

As long as Rat War turns these enemy corpses into statistical units in the merit system, these problems will no longer exist.

But this guy Shuzhan was too disdainful to lower his head and look at the ground.

No matter what they do, as long as these things are thrown into the blood pool of the temple controlled by him, he will not lose anything.

Half of the blood mushrooms produced will be delivered to him.

The huge army left.

During the march, many ratmen prayed devoutly to the great god, praying that they could gain more.

Those rat scavengers also chased after them with their own teams.

The huge team of rat-men scavengers are not united, nor have they ever been a complete group. They are a complex group composed of all kinds of rat-men, and they gradually begin to divide the work.

The scattered and independent ratmen inside bear the most fundamental meaning of the name "Scrap Scavenger Team".

Picking up all kinds of strange things on the battlefield and collecting the spoils that the rat army looked down upon.

Small and medium-sized scavenger teams started a transportation business, traveling back and forth between the conquering army and the strongholds in the rear.

The largest scavenging teams are those that act on an opportunistic basis.

They have become a de facto mercenary army, a non-staff army.

Although unlike ordinary mercenaries, they do not need to be paid by Shu Zhan, and Shu Zhan will definitely not pay these guys.

They have to earn their own rewards on the battlefield. After finding the right opportunity, these largest scavenger teams will rush into the battlefield like a free wolf pack and attack those enemies who expose their weaknesses.

And use the enemies you kill as your reward.

A group of opportunists roaming the battlefield.

Of course, they are also the ones most likely to die suddenly in the scavenging team, although the great danger brings the greatest rewards.

In a conventional siege, if they cleared the enemies in an area, all the spoils in that area would also belong to them.

And if it was something like the encounter that just happened.

They would cut off the tails of their dead enemies and replace them with blood mushrooms through some special channels.

This can greatly increase the profits they earn.

Although this is undoubtedly a case of taking advantage of the situation.

These large scavenger teams followed the retreating ratmen army and disappeared across the grassland.

Although a little disappointing.

There was no second battle today.

The large camp that had just been built from the ruins was abandoned by the sheep orcs.

Empty.

And because it was just built from ruins, there is nothing good inside.

Rat War is not going to go any further.

The flames were ignited again and quickly spread to the continuous tents. In the flames, the circle of tents placed next to the sheep-beast man's Jingguan, and the rat-man's Jingguan that had laid a foundation was swallowed up by it.

Soon after, the Skaven army left.

The area returned to peace.

After a long time, the flames went out, and the vultures circling in the sky had become a little impatient waiting.

Falling from the sky eagerly.

They started fighting for the heads of the sheep-beast men on the huge built-up temple. During the fight, the huge built-up temple collapsed with a loud bang, and the heads on it rolled all over the ground.

Soon after, when the strong wind blew, the fresh grass buds sprouted again.

Then here, this place that was once a tragic battlefield and ravaged by flames will once again become a lush grassland.

In fact, the pasture may even become more lush because it is watered with blood.

The grassland and the races that run on it all have one common quality: tenacity.

Although this kind of tenacity may seem vulnerable when faced with some complex, strange, weird and twisted things.

Around the temple that stood outside the sketchy fortress.

Unconsciously, the grass that had been trampled repeatedly by the ratmen began to wither. With the temple as the center.

The grass withered, no life existed, and even the land was tinged with a little red.

And it is still spreading slowly.

Only the rats passing by were not affected.

Also because the rats passing by were not affected, such changes did not attract their special attention.

The temple built by the Rat War was indeed innovative, but it also ignored a problem that had never been considered before.

The blood pool dug out on the grass did not seem to be able to effectively prevent the bright red water in the blood pool from overflowing to the surroundings.

Even if the overflow rate is not fast.

If the temple was placed inside the towering cliff, the blood pool carved out of the rock would not face the problem of overflowing.

The overflowing bright red water seemed to have left stubborn and long-lasting changes on the land it had infected in a very short period of time.

Not many creatures can even survive on such a land.

Except for the Nezumi.

These guys must be extremely resistant to drugs.

………….

On the vast grassland.

Near the battlefield that had just experienced fierce fighting.

The two ratmen groped their way forward cautiously.

And not far from them.

A giant sheep fell to the ground, dying, and a sheep-orc knight also fell beside it, his life or death unknown.

One of the ratmen instigated his companions.

"Go! Kill the giant sheep, and then we'll take that guy back. Then you can learn from that old guy how to become a ratman priest!"

The instigated rat man did not hesitate much.

He tightly grasped the broken spear tip and walked towards the dying giant sheep not far away.

He was quickly pulled back.

"You idiot! I told you to go, and you went!"

The person who grabbed this reckless and stupid guy was a thin figure.

At this moment, she looked helplessly at the stunned guy beside her.

The rat man who was held back frowned and looked at his companions with a puzzled look.

"I finally understand why the commander-in-chief chose you guys as his personal guards!

But that’s fine too.

You owe me a favor, you idiot!
And you must pay it back! Got it! "

The skinny rat man grabbed the stunned rat man in front of him and spoke word by word.

At the same time, some things were revealed, the most obvious of which was the neat circle of hideous scars on the wrist.

These are the marks left by being tied up with hemp ropes for a long time and dragged hard.

Such marks usually only appear on slave rats.

Faced with the words of the skinny rat man, the stunned rat man showed some hesitation.

"But I want to be a temple guard."

He was interrupted directly by the skinny rat man, with his burning and crazy gaze.

"No! You can and can only be a Skaven Priest!"

Something seemed to be entrusted by the skinny rat man to the stunned rat man in front of him.

In his confused expression.

………….

The war continues.

And it went in a direction that made Shu Zhan quite annoyed.

Those sheep-orc knights started a battle with the rats on the grassland in a game of chase and escape, and counterattack.

Shu Zhan's troops simply couldn't catch up with these damn guys.

If you don't chase them, they will always come closer and closer, and then quickly flee after throwing a round of arrows.

This made Shu Zhan quite annoyed, but he could do nothing about it.

They had no choice but to start using the most traditional tactic which was also the only option they had.

Tunnels were dug and a huge camp was built.

Standing on the outskirts of the simple fortress, it seemed a bit strange to build a camp to protect the fortress.

But Shu Zhan didn't dare to really use the temple of God as a scapegoat. Even though he was quite proud, he had to admit that those damn guys were getting closer and closer to the fortress.

This may have happened.

That herd of sheep-orcs might storm the temple of the great god.

Even if this may be quite weak.

A camp full of ravines was carefully built to deal with such an eventuality.

At the same time, he did not sit idly by and ignore the slippery sheep-orc knights.

Choose the most reliable strategy.

Wait!
The resources obtained from the two wars have not been completely digested, and a large number of blood mushrooms sprout in the blood pool in the temple every day.

At the same time, a large number of ratmen were constantly coming here from afar.

The army in Shuzhan's hands was expanding rapidly every day, among the blood mushrooms that were finally becoming more abundant.

More weapons were delivered, and more giant rats were born in the dark corners of the fortress.

A large number of rat knights were formed.

Rat Zhan was not as extravagant as the group of senior priests and did not equip all the rat knights with iron armor.

But in order to deal with the absolutely elite guys like the Sheep Orc Commando.

He formed two special teams.

Skaven Runners and Dire Knights.

The Skaven Raiders will be composed of the most elite of the Skaven warriors.

The same goes for the Brutal Knights. Rat Zhan will incorporate his most elite guards into them.

For once, Shuzhan was unusually generous to these two teams.

The armor and weapons will be the best, and the blood mushrooms supplied to them will be of a standard second only to that of the rat warlords in the rat army.

These are two truly elite troops. Although they are still under construction, if Shu Zhan had any of these elite troops under his command in that encounter, they would undoubtedly be able to tear through the defenses of those sheep orc commandos more quickly.

If this could be achieved, then the sheep orcs would undoubtedly shed more blood in that war.

Although the Brutal Knight may have to go through many wars to achieve the expectations of the Rat War.

His Rat Knights were formed too late.

Unlike the Ratman Raiders, it only needs to draw on the elite Ratman warriors in the army who have survived one battle after another, those real veterans, and they can be successfully formed.

But it shouldn't take too long, as there will be plenty of battles for the Rat Knights on this vast grassland.
