From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 16, Gathering Strength

In this way, the rat people were divided into three parts.

The most numerous are slave rats, who are constantly digging caves in order to grow more cave mushrooms.

Next are the ratmen warriors, who are constantly attacking the Lizardmen positions every day, and they provide a steady supply of sacrifices.

There are also rat priests, who are the smallest in number and are responsible for conducting sacrificial ceremonies and cultivating and planting blood mushrooms and cave mushrooms.

Due to restrictions and food limitations, this cave can only support 4,000 ratmen. Among these 4,000 ratmen, 1,800 are fighting with the Lizardmen, 200 have become priests, and the rest have all been beaten into slave rats.

But the reproduction of the ratmen did not stop, and they even continued to add ratmen to the troops under the spear rats every day.

This was not a decision made by Du Yuan, but a decision made by the white rats themselves. There were always casualties in the daily battles, but the training of the little rats was never a loss. If they died, they would be considered sacrifices, and if they were alive, they could be used as cannon fodder. If they were cowardly, they would become slave rats, and if they were brave, they would become rat warriors, or if they were more pious, they would become rat priests.

But sometimes there will be an overflow of population, and the solution is very simple. If there is really not enough food, just sacrifice another batch of slave rats.

It can only be said that as a leader of the rat people, Bai Shu really has no moral bottom line and humanistic care, and Du Yuan also turned a blind eye to this.

As long as new babies continue to be born, it is foreseeable that once more caves are opened deep in the mountains and more cave mushrooms are planted, the group of ratmen under Du Yuan will expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Population is war potential.

At dawn, the lizardmen left the forest and began to build watchtowers. At the same time, a team led by a burly lizardman launched a charge towards the ratmen entrenched on the hillside not far away.

Faced with the lizardmen's charge, the ratmen fled in all directions, running into the continuous mountains and disappearing without a trace.

Such performance made Du Yuan's mouth twitch. He knew that this was a strategy. The rats were waging a harassment war.

But these damn mice run so smoothly that it makes people feel bad for some reason.

No wonder the first divine art in the ratman priest’s inheritance is berserk.

shook his head.

Soon after those arrogant lizardmen left, the ratmen quickly ran back from the continuous mountains and gathered on the hillside again. They were so numerous that not many of them ran away. Almost all the ratmen came back.

Because of the herding nature rooted in the ratmen's blood.

The weak ratmen must stick together to survive.

Thanks to this characteristic, even if Du Yuan's ratmen keep fleeing in all directions, they can still gather together again.

The harassment will continue day and night, but the opponent's reaction is somewhat puzzling.

Du Yuan didn't quite understand what those lizardmen were doing, or rather, what the gods of those lizardmen were thinking.

They clearly had an absolute advantage, but they did not directly attack the mountains to look for Du Yuan's altar. Instead, they built a wall. And from time to time, teams of lizardmen would rush over and do inexplicable actions as if they were showing off their power, which was really puzzling.

Du Yuan was waiting for the number of his ratmen warriors to increase, waiting for the excavation of caves and the increase in the production of cave mushrooms, but what were these lizardmen waiting for?
It was really confusing. But this situation was a good thing for Du Yuan. Du Yuan had originally planned to let the ratmen and the lizardmen fight a guerrilla war in this complex mountain range, and even dug out several fake strongholds.

Just prepare to play hide-and-seek in the mountains when the time comes.

Although building walls and sentry towers is also a strategy, the mountain range where the ratmen live is too barren. Even if they want to grow mushrooms, they cannot do without the resources in this forest.

It is true that we cannot let these lizardmen completely surround the forest, but that is a matter for later. For now, if we delay it, I will have the advantage.

After leaving the clan world and returning to the dormitory, he was not well-informed and naturally did not know what had happened recently in the school. If he knew, he probably would not be surprised by the Lizardman's strategy.

There was a new banner on the school square, and also a young man standing upright with a dazzling smile on his face, working hard to introduce the school to the crowd gathered in front of him.

This young man is Li Sheng, who is still at war with Du Yuan.

This guy did not enter the clan world to command his clan. On the contrary, on the second day of the banquet, he spread the news of his bloody battle with Du Yuan, which caused an uproar among the junior students in the academy.

Everyone knew the special features of this group of anchors. Some were happy and some were sad about the sudden change in rules. There were more sad people. After all, according to the original plan, most of the trainees who completed the anchoring would have the opportunity to try to become demigods as long as their faith was solidified, even if they did not have resources and the subsequent journey would be difficult. However, the current rules made many students more pessimistic, because if they were defeated, they would probably have no connection with the word god anymore.

Some people are sad about this news, but of course some are happy too. After all, the initial anchored world is so much larger. If one has the confidence to defeat competitors and monopolize this anchored world, then the road ahead will naturally be much easier.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of confusion and people were in a state of panic. Of course, this situation was only limited to ordinary students. Most of the students with backgrounds had already known about this matter and had already been prepared.

It's not fair, but the world is hardly fair.

As Li Sheng made public the news of his bloody battle with Du Yuan, he naturally became famous as the whistleblower.

So this is the scene that happened.

The banner on the square, the smiling Mr. Li, and even a video clip of a lizard man beating a rat man next to it.

What was played was the story that happened on the edge of the forest.

A so-called mutual aid society was established today.

If Du Yuan saw this scene, there would undoubtedly be a twisted expression on his face.

No respect, no respect!
As for this guy's purpose, it is easy to guess. He wants to use the momentum of being the first person to make this matter clear to build up this so-called mutual aid association.

When more people join in, it will be a good choice whether to sell it or not.

As for why it must be sold, it’s very simple. Although this guy’s background is not powerful enough, he is also a second-generation rich man.

Although the mutual aid association does not set a threshold for students to join, most of those willing to join are probably just ordinary students.

Since both parties can't sit together, how can Mr. Li really bring benefits to everyone?
