From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 155: The glory that sprouted in the rat army, the army set out again, and the rat war's death order

Even during this period of time, the blood mushrooms in the temple continued to pop up.

But he was no longer able to bear it.

I don't understand, but it makes Shuzhan very annoyed.

Under such circumstances, Shu Zhan finally remembered the group of rat priests that he had abandoned for a long time, the group of military priests that had been left in the Furnace City for a long time.

Then, a death order was issued.

If Shu Zhan still doesn't see them tinkering with iron and supplying him with weapons in the near future, he will hang them one by one at the gate of the Furnace City.

In his rage, Shu Zhan openly directed his malice towards the rat-man priests whom he hated the most.

Even these military priests were born from the ratmen warriors under his command.

It can no longer develop.

The troops began to gather again.

But this time, Shu Zhan's army was even more shabby.

He dug out all those antiques that were originally going to be discarded, including various old wooden spears, wooden armor, various ill-fitting leather armor obtained from the Lizardmen, and a batch of short bows.

They were all turned out by him.

He dumped it to his rat men like taking out garbage.

It can be said that the army under Shu Zhan is indeed the most elite group in the Ratman Kingdom.

But at this moment, it feels a bit like the King of Trash.

And the reason why Rat War is so embarrassing.

This is largely due to the establishment of two forces.

Shu Zhan supplied these two troops with the best equipment he could get.

The two troops are special forces with a size of only 500.

Skaven Runner.

The most elite infantry under Shu Zhan.

The spears in their hands were finally no longer those rough, dented, cheap iron rods.

It was replaced with a smooth metal spear that reflected a cold light.

Moreover, these elite ratmen warriors had not just one such spear in their hands, but nine.

He carried two additional spears on his back and six short spears on his waist.

And this is just a small part of the equipment worn by these elite ratmen. The real big part is the two layers of armor worn by the ratmen warriors.

The most basic one is a pair of close-fitting leather armor. At the same time, in order to increase the defense, there is also a chain mail attached to the outside of the leather armor. This is a new thing made by the ratman priests in the Desolate Mountains Industrial Zone.

It is also extra expensive.

There is no such thing as labor costs among the Rat People, but spending more money for the gods is reasonable and necessary.

These chain mails are not the ordinary chain mails worn by the boarmen infantry. The ratmen priests have specially added a concave and convex iron plate on the chest of the chain mail.

Some simple patterns of gods were engraved on the iron plate.

Such simple details make the rat-man raiders under Shuzhan's command more valuable.

This simple chain mail, the nine spears and the leather armor together are nothing more than that.

In terms of price.

But Shuzhan still gritted his teeth and agreed. These lightweight chain armors are indeed most suitable for these elite rats who need to run wildly on the battlefield.

Or maybe it's because the next fierce knights are more heavyweight.

Shu Zhan equipped them with full body armor.

Even the giant rats beneath them were covered in heavy iron armor.

At the same time, in order to prevent the giant rats, which were carrying a lot more weight, from slowing down, Rat War also specially selected the giant rats that would serve as mounts for the ferocious ratmen knights from among these ferocious giant rats. These were the most violent rats and the ones closest to the disordered distortion.

They are the products born after the incubation pool reaches the end of its life.

But it has a larger body than the average giant rat, faster speed and better physical strength.

It's just that the same is true in terms of personality.

They never hesitate to attack the knight on their backs, or rather, they never hesitate to attack everything in front of them.

At Shengqi, such scraps would generally be processed on the spot.

But Shu Zhan took a liking to these violent guys at first sight.

The iron mouth clasps tightly clamped the mouths of these ferocious giant rats, and at the same time extended upwards to cover the entire head of the giant rat.

Only a pair of red and disgusted eyes were revealed.

In order to suppress these violent guys, they simply locked their mouths. At the same time, a thick iron chain was driven into the flesh of these giant rats, becoming the reins in the hands of the brutal knights.

Only by relying on these measures can we barely control it.

As for weapons, there are not many changes.

A thick lance that is much longer than an ordinary spear.

And a war club.

The amount of blood mushrooms that Rat War used on the one hundred ferocious knights far exceeded that of the five hundred rat raiders.

Even though they are elite, there are still differences between them.

Similarly, some patterns of gods were also engraved on the gray-black full body armor of the Ratman Knight.

The ratmen used the boarmen's hydraulic forging hammer, or the rat-power forging hammer now, but they were not very skilled in using it. For some reason, the full body armor they forged was not as smooth and bright as the ones worn by the boarmen knights.

But it's harmless.

It doesn't prevent the ratmen priests from engraving some patterns of gods on the armor and then raising the price.

Shu Zhan didn't feel bad about this. For such an expensive item, it was only right to have some divine patterns engraved on it.

Two elite troops were formed.

At the same time, the metal weapons that were supposed to be distributed to most of the ratmen warriors were also consumed by these two troops.

It was replaced with a pile of various old garbage that Rat War had found from the back.

However, most of the young rats had no objection to this. It could even be said that they were quite happy to see so many different kinds of garbage in front of them.

Never before had such a rich battle been fought.

He held a wooden spear in his hand, wore an ill-fitting leather armor, had a short bow hanging around his waist, and even had a kobold wizard's bone staff tied to his tail.

The main style is a mixed tower.

As the backbone of the Skaven army, the Skaven warriors have more fixed equipment in their hands, a metal spear, a wooden spear, a wooden shield, and the choice of armor is a mix of leather armor and wooden armor.

They did not go scavenging for various ill-fitting armors from the garbage dump. Since they had no protection at all, hanging two pieces of cut wood in front and back on their chests and backs was still their choice.

Then there are those veteran ratmen warriors.

There is not much difference between their equipment and that of the ratmen warriors, except that most of them wear leather armor made of unknown leather, and the spears in their hands are almost all iron spears. In addition, many senior ratmen warriors will throw away the small leather shields in their hands.

Instead, choose three spears.

But whatever their choice is.

When the army was gathering, after seeing the two elite ratmen with their heads held high, the first thing they felt was confusion.

Most of the ratmen warriors have no idea what their commander-in-chief is doing.

Some of the experienced and qualified people who know the truth will deliberately avoid this issue.

Being targeted by someone in a higher position in the Rat Kingdom is never a good thing.

Then they found that their colleagues had changed and they regretted it instantly.

Even though they might not understand that a spear on these guys' bodies was worth their entire bodies, could they not understand the meaning of the patterns on these guys' armor?

Endless regret emerged in the hearts of those veteran ratmen warriors who escaped, and desire appeared among both the ratmen warriors and the young ratmen.

Look at those guys with their heads held high.

Shu Zhan might not know that the divine pattern that caused him so much pain was actually the most treasured thing by the ratman raider and the ferocious knight.

Skaven raiders usually wear their chain mail inside out to protect the divine patterns on the iron sheets from being worn out.

Until now, it turned over openly, showing the patterns on the iron plate, and followed Shu Zhan with its head held high.

Even these dull and slow-witted brutal knights are the same. You can often see them wiping their armor quietly and seriously.

Compared to the generous treatment given by the Rat War Blood Mushroom, these few divine patterns are more cherished by these guys.

Although Shu Zhan himself was the same, while cursing what the rat priests were doing, he also got an exquisite giant clock for display.

Even though it's just a few useless patterns.

But it is just these few patterns that can make a group of despicable and stupid guys truly give birth to something in their hearts that should not appear in them.

Glory, or vanity.

In the past few days, there have even been a few raiders who have been strutting around in front of the temple guards in their chain mail with a showy look on their faces.

As expected, they were beaten up, but they still had a cheerful expression on their faces.

Once upon a time, they were not even strong enough to be beaten by the temple guards.

In the gaze of those pairs of eyes, in the gaze of those longing expressions.

These guys held their heads high, imitating the posture of the temple guards.

No matter what that sprout is, be it glory or vanity, one thing is certain.

After putting on this armor, they were reluctant to take it off, even when facing death.

Defend at all costs, just because of a few useless lines left by the gods.

Whether it is glory or vanity doesn't seem to be that important anymore.

Rat Zhan set out again with a huge army.

This time he wanted to kill the old sheep that had been causing trouble for him on the grassland.

He is indeed qualified.

The rat army under Shu Zhan has expanded to 400,000 in a very short time.

Even though the selection is limited, the supervisory team still needs to increase its number to cope with this rapidly expanding army.

The Rat Knights only replenished the number by 20,000.

Moreover, most of them are young guys who have not received much training.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as they can charge, there will be no problem.

After the huge army of ratmen left the fortress.

The scavengers who heard the news also flocked to the scene.

Like a dark cloud falling behind you.

During this period of time, it was not just the army under Rat Zhan that expanded rapidly. Most of the priests who arrived here and the ratmen who were not qualified to join Rat Zhan's army became members of the scavenger team following behind Rat Zhan.

They are more eager for war than for rat war.

At the same time, they would also spontaneously break into the grassland. During this period of time, it was they who had been fighting with the sheep orcs.

In most cases, they will be crushed without any suspense.

In fact, it would be more appropriate to call it a massacre rather than a battle.

But as long as there are ratmen who can come back from the grassland and bring back harvests, harvests that will make people envy.

Then they have nothing to fear.

When the huge army left the fortress and passed by the camp outside the temple that was built to guard against sheep orcs.

Several even larger teams rushed out from it and merged into the huge dark cloud behind Shu Zhan.

These teams are the largest and most powerful scavenger teams.

During the truce in the Rat War, some bolder priests with more personal power negotiated a deal with the temple guards.

They guard the camp, so the temple guards only need to give them a little blood mushrooms.

There is no risk, as the sheep orcs will never attack this camp full of ravines.

Although there are always scattered groups of sheep orcs trying to cross the camp and break into the rear fortress area.

These guys are rapidly developing into regular mercenaries.

Although some of them do not abide by the contract.

At least after the Rat War started again, these guys decisively abandoned the camps they were supposed to defend and chased after the Rat War without hesitation.

Suddenly, the area became empty.

The commander of the temple guards was helpless because of this, but he also could not sit idly by and watch the possibility of the temple of God being attacked.

This is a possibility that absolutely cannot be allowed to exist.

A team of temple guards left the temple and ran towards the suddenly empty camp.

Although I don’t know whether Shuzhan did it on purpose, his move was very clever.

This move of acting first and reporting later directly added a powerful defensive force to the fortress that served as the core of the rear, which would fight to the death.

In the entire rat kingdom, he is the only one who dares to do this.

But this is not without cost, it's just that the cost will not appear immediately.

The war continued again.

The result will not change.

Either you completely destroy and crush those sheep-beastmen, or you completely crush and destroy those sheep-beastmen.

The arrogant guy Shu Zhan didn't think that any other situation would occur again.

………….

Just when Shu Zhan was setting out with his huge army.

However, there was a group of guys in the Crucible City who were half-hearted.

Because of Rat War's order.

Believe me, if it weren't for the fear that those senior priests who also disliked their boss would kill these traitorous priests as soon as they met them.

These miserable military priests would definitely defect without hesitation and rush all the way to the ruined city.

It's just that obviously, the possibility exists.

There is a high possibility that after running all the way to the Waste City, he was killed and hanged at the city gate in another place.

The unfortunate guys looked at each other.

They certainly didn't want to be hanged.

But what should we do?
Maybe some adjustments and attempts are needed.

　There will be another chapter later.
