From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 170: The White Rat's Gaze, the Young Warlord Seizing the Chips
very messy.

A messy attack, a messy defense, a messy battle.

Everything is a mess.

This motley crowd relied on the chaotic and complex city to deal with the invading argali riders.

The fight wasn't pretty.

Fortunately, the rats were not lacking in numbers.

The joint investors certainly did not pin their hopes on this mob in the city.

A large scavenging team was hired.

This is a rat-man army of 50,000.

Running on the grassland, led by a big claw priest.

You can even see some large machines being pushed around in this team.

Lots of rough logs, some trebuchets, and siege crossbows.

If they can successfully reach the half-built city, they will undoubtedly be more reliable.

Compared to the mob in the city.

The reason why they arrived now was because they failed to agree on the price.

The group of investors could no longer offer any more chips and could only use the ranch promised by Shu Zhan as compensation.

The two sides argued over this issue for a long time.

Until recently, under the threat of the Argali Knight, the group of joint investors offered the highest price they could.

This large scavenging team also set off.

It’s a pity that the wolf-orc commander has been keeping an eye on this area.

First, a few scattered cavalrymen followed, then small groups of troops arrived, and finally, a huge team appeared at the end of the grassland.

It's already late at this time.

The big-clawed priest who led the team boosted some morale.

There is not much shelter in this open grassland.

However, in this constant contact, the rat people have been looking for ways to deal with it.

In a sharp hissing.

Thick logs were thrown down and discarded at the front of the line. These specially treated logs could be easily stacked together.

Quickly formed a low wooden wall.

The trebuchet began to be debugged.

Batches of ratmen were pushed onto the battle front.

It's not that I don't have the ability to fight back.

Amid the ear-piercing sound, a large number of stone bullets were thrown out.

The city defense crossbows also began to fire arrows.

As long as the ratmen on the front line can hold the line.

This large scavenging team is not without the power to resist, but this is precisely the most difficult thing to do.

Faced with the large number of troops rushing towards them, the ratmen warriors of the scavenger team could hardly hold on to the spears in their hands.

The huge team of knights began to disperse their formation, and the argali knights split into two groups and launched an attack from the side.

The frontal offensive was not abandoned.

The wolf knights chose to attack the most difficult frontal defense.

The huge gray-black wolf and its knight easily crossed the low wooden wall made of logs.

A wolf-orc carrying a banner took the lead.

A ratman warrior was easily trampled by a giant wolf.

Being torn apart in public, the morale of this large scavenging team was easily crushed.

A large-scale rout began.

No matter how angrily the leading Big Claw Priest shouted, nothing changed.

These cruel guys who roamed the grassland and destroyed tribes of all sizes immediately exposed their true level when they encountered real tough guys.

It's not worth pinning your hopes on this mob.

They fit in with Rat War's perception and positioning of them.

A group of barely usable cannon fodder.

Suitable for use as a stepping stone during siege warfare.

Even though this group of rat-man scavengers was not small in size, they did not cause any trouble and the battle ended soon after.

The Big Claw Priest who led the team was trampled by a giant silver-gray wolf, but he did not die on the spot. The giant wolf began to eat the poor guy alive.

In that wailing of terror and despair.

The expression on the Wolf Knight Commander's face became more and more confused. He looked at the guy beneath him who was struggling and howling in despair, and also at the ratmen warriors in front of him who were fleeing in all directions.

How on earth did these guys manage to wipe out the sheep orcs and cripple the argali tribe in such a short time?

Such weak guys.

Be puzzled.

At the same time, on the other side, in the ratman city under construction, the chaotic battle also came to an end.

There were too few argali knights. Even though the city was full of a mob, these guys could at least demonstrate basic combat effectiveness under the absolute crushing of numbers.

Instead of running away in panic the moment of contact.

In this battle, Qi gained his only reward.

He chopped off the head of an argali rider who had fallen into a ravine and had not recovered.

When the battle is over.

Carrying the simple flag in his hand, he stepped into the center of this rough city.

In that loud cry.

Holding the head in his hand, he began to preach to the scavenger team captains who looked confused.

There is nothing new in the content of the speech.

That's probably what it means.

"Follow me! Follow me! I will bring you merit!"

In a sense, this young guy is somewhat similar to Sheng Qi.

Soon, this young guy became a joke among the scavenger team captains.

A strange guy.

However, a group of ratmen who had lost their leader joined Qi's army after the speech.

In my ignorance, I looked at that carefree guy with admiration.

This guy promised them a repetitive, yet slim possibility.

As long as he can rise up and become a true ratman warlord after six wars, all the guys gathered around him will be able to escape from this state that is no different from slave rats.

Even the ratmen warriors who fell in large numbers like weeds in war after war were still desired by these pathetic creatures.

Once again, the peeping argali riders launched an attack.

It's still a mess.

This time, Qi gained even more.

However, he also faced a more dangerous battle and was surrounded by a group of ram knights. At the critical moment, it was the armor of the fierce knight on his body that saved his life, and it was also a skinny ratman who offered his loyalty to him who saved his life. The skinny ratman who handed him a fat worm blocked a trampling from the ram knight for him.

This skinny rat man pledged his loyalty according to Qi's words, and before he died, he cast a longing look towards Qi.

But Qi no longer looked at the poor guy.

Soon after, the flag once again ascended the heights of the city.

Waving the flag in his hand, the spoils of this battle were piled up at his feet.

In that loud cry.

Finally, there was no more blatant sneering. The captains of these scavenger teams were surprised to find that, without their noticing, more and more ratmen had gathered around this guy.

Even though the ratmen warriors in these scavenger teams were not of high quality, this young and weird guy actually held his first bargaining chip.

It was an army of ratmen gathered in front of him, looking up at him with longing.

The wolf orc commander did not choose to directly attack the city in front of him.

The construction progress of the ratman city came to a standstill under his siege.

A large amount of stone was abandoned around the city, and no transport team successfully reached the city.

At the same time, the attack on the city under construction did not stop. Teams of argali knights were treated as consumables and sent into the rat city under construction in front of them.

It was well controlled. These harassing argali riders could pose a certain threat, but such a small number would make it impossible for them to capture the city.

It gave those rat investors an illusion that they still had a chance.

With red eyes, he continued to place bets, gradually risking everything he had.

At the same time, large teams of scavengers began to step onto the battlefield with their promises and surging greed.

The city closest to Prairie City has been completed.

That vast pasture was really thrown out by the rat war.

Although these lands were just a burden to the Rat War, they were abandoned at will.

But at that moment, some thoughts and ideas still surged among the ratmen gathered in the grassland city.

The desire was not fully ignited, and the construction of the ranch was hindered by the severe cold.

When these pastures are up and running and when the intelligent creatures herded by the rats begin to produce, it will probably be the time when spring returns.

But the sparks of desire alone led teams of large scavengers to step onto the grassland and begin heading towards the troubled city.

Then he was defeated by the Wolf Rider Commander.

The Wolf Knight Commander chose this strategy because his army was not large enough to support his full-scale expedition against the ratmen, so he could only use this method to stop the ratmen.

The rat people are unusually cooperative.

One army after another was buried on this vast grassland.

Something felt wrong.

No matter how stupid the commander is, he will not allow such losses! This is a meaningless loss!
The Wolf Knight Commander had already prepared to escape, but nothing happened.

No more elite troops arrived, and no rat army was seen arriving. There were only these weak troops continuously filling into this specially prepared trap.

why?
why?
More and more confusion turned into bewilderment on the Wolf Knight Commander's face.

His view of war was shaken.

In the confusing operation of the rat man.

But he didn't stop. Since the opponent was willing to waste his strength in this way, he would take it all!
In confusion, in the blowing cold wind, the Wolf Knight Commander made this decision with a grim face.

………….

Time passes.

The weather is gradually warming up, but the Rat Kingdom has not been peaceful recently.

Because of the appointment of five rat lords.

The candidate was decided, and the alliance of ratmen priests not only lost control of the city.

And the split began.

Because the rat lord was appointed by five senior priests, five senior priests entrenched in the Waste City.

At the beginning, everything was barely stable under the suppression of the senior priests who served as councilors, until an appointed guy showed his ambition and had different ideas.

The rat priests have never been united, and they only unite to deal with the white rats and the biased high priest.

Just at this moment, the white rat threw out some candies.

Some guys hesitated, some guys peeked secretly, and some guys swallowed it directly in one gulp.

But no matter what these appointed guys thought, cracks appeared among these ratmen priests who were not united to begin with.

Even the most eager guy disappeared soon after for unknown reasons.

Those congressmen who served as the leaders of the alliance showed their military force in an aggressive manner and tried to support the existence of this alliance.

It's just a pity that it's of no use.

After the senior priest disappeared, another appointment was made, and it fell on the senior ratman priest gathered in the waste city.

The white rat looked at the ferocious ratmen councillors with mockery.

Watching their efforts and performances that had no effect.

Of course, the cities that need to be appointed as rat lords are far more than the cities built by these rat priests, and the candidates will also be selected from senior rat priests.

But the selection of candidates still needs to be considered.

At the same time, the white rat was waiting for the farce in front of it to come to a temporary end.

We also need to wait for the six cities on the grassland to fall completely.

All this was unknown to the rats on the grassland.

The rat knights sent by the rat warlord to deliver the message had all been killed in the lush forest.

The grassland city was peaceful and there was nothing worthy of Shu Zhan's attention.

Maybe, the unsuccessful construction of the last city does deserve some attention.

But it just attracted a little more attention.

The long, cold winter is finally coming to an end.

The rat war that had been held back for a long time brought out the long dormant army.

The army under Shu Zhan became larger and more powerful after hibernating for a whole winter. Shu Zhan finally replenished his army with metal spears.

Even though the spear was made of cast iron and was not of such high quality.

Hard yet fragile.

The number of rat warriors in Shuzhan's hands expanded to an unparalleled level, reaching 800,000.

Of course, most of them are inexperienced young ratmen.

Rat War would certainly not march for long with this huge and bloated army. In fact, most of these rat warriors would be deployed to various cities as garrisons.

There will be about 300,000 ratmen warriors left behind.

The number of Rat Knights was replenished to 40,000 by Rat Wars, and even the size of Ferocious Knights and Rat Raiders was supplemented and increased.

The Skaven Raiders expanded to a force of fifteen hundred men.

The number of Brutal Knights is only one thousand.

Even if he used his inferior cast iron spears to make up for the shortage, Shuzhan couldn't squeeze out more blood mushrooms.

These expensive guys only expanded to a scale of one thousand.

Rat War is getting a little impatient, a new round of conquest is about to begin.

Amid the waving flags, the huge army left the grassland city that had been quiet for a whole winter, trampled on the already red land outside the city, and advanced again into the vast and boundless grassland before them.
