From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 179: The March of the Flag

Wolf orcs cannot live without salt. Salt and metal are their most important tools for harvesting other races.

They are not stupid. Complete oppression will breed the most brutal resistance, even if they have overwhelming military force.

At this time, some special means are needed.

For example, the extremely unfair trade: before the argali tribe was destroyed, a metal scimitar could be exchanged for ten sheep, and a bag of salt for fifty.

You don't have to change it, of course, but salt is a necessity, as is a metal machete.

Plus some small tricks.

The wolf orcs sold the scimitars to the sheep orcs in exchange for twelve sheep, two of which would be handed over to the argali tribe.

As for the reason.

After all, the argali tribe is an ally, and you sheep orcs are just vassals.

It's a small trick, but it's very effective.

This is what makes this salt lake extremely important. Even if they retreated to avoid the ratmen, the wolf beastmen did not really leave the area where the salt lake existed.

………….

Qi led the silent team behind him and marched across the vast grassland.

His approach has not changed and the results are still as good.

"Follow me! Follow me! I will bring change to you! Give me your loyalty!"

With repeated calls and repeated emphasis, more and more defective slave rats pledged their loyalty to him.

Started calling his name.

He began to look at the simple flag behind him.

They chose the flag and followed him across the long distance. They killed those who still hesitated and maintained their precious hope.

Became a barely usable army.

A bunch of humble guys who have no qualifications but are ignited with desire.

Of course, if Shu Zhan saw this army, he would laugh at it, even though it was not easy for these defective slave rats to achieve this.

The weak will always be weak, and the frail will always be frail.

But Qi had no choice. All he could choose were these humble, weak and defective slave rats.

The scene in front of me changed, and it was finally no longer the unchanging green.

But it is hard to say whether this change is good or bad.

What caught my eye was a paleness, a lifeless paleness.

The endless white almost filled up everything that this ratman army could see.

This was the first time the rats had seen such a scene.

In this expanse of white, the silent army behind him also showed a bit of hesitation.

They had been trudging hard across this empty grassland for thirty days. During the long journey, there was almost no other sound in the team except the shouting of the flag, which was a bit depressing.

This is a bad state, the state brought about by the flag.

During the long journey, Qi was more shaken and confused than the group of defective slave rats under his command.

He is not as arrogant and confident as Shuzhan.

After the initial hesitation, I began to waver in my decision.

The long march still faced the vast grassland that seemed to have no end.

Become confused.

This state was brought to the army he led and to the slave rats who followed him.

Qi was the first to get himself in order, turned around, and shouted loudly to the rats behind him.

"Forward! Forward!"

He led the way and rushed towards the pale land in front of him. Later, the defective slave rats followed the flag and stepped onto the pale land.

The progress was not smooth. In just a few days, half of the troops were lost.

The area he chose was not wrong. The enemies he was looking for were there, as well as traces of them. There was just one problem. The enemies here seemed to be more than he expected, far more.

Just half a day after entering this pale area, he encountered a patrol of wolf orcs, leaving behind a small part of the troops.

After being chased desperately, they finally managed to escape with the remaining troops by jumping into this huge saline lake.

It was not until nightfall that he dared to climb out of the saline lake with his army carefully. The tattered armor on his body had long been thrown away, and in order to swim faster, his fur was covered with white salt grains.

Both eyes are red and stinging.

Only the crude flag in his hand was not thrown away.

Obviously, the troops he had were not enough to challenge the wolf-orcs in the area.

Looking embarrassed.

Gritted his teeth.

The bitterness in his mouth that had not yet dissipated did not wake Qi up.

He made his choice early on.

Between death and becoming a Skaven Warlord, he chose to become a Skaven Warlord.

His eyes were red, his face was hideous, and he was waving the flag crazily.

In the eyes of all those people who were cast upon him, and in front of the ratmen who were gradually becoming fanatical, he waved the flags in his hands ferociously and crazily.

The slave rats' fanatical cries echoed along the shore of this unremarkable saline lake.

At this moment, Qi finally looked a bit like a warlord.

The arrival of the ratmen made the wolf orcs in this saline lake more alert, but the same doubts also appeared in the mind of the wolf orc leader guarding here.

Why are their well-prepared enemies so weak?

A mere 800 wolf knights chased the nearly 30,000 ratmen troops of the general flag and even forced the ratman general to jump into the saline lake with his troops to escape.

The long thinking did not produce any results, but he could not give up on this saline lake.

The saline-alkali lake in his hands is very important, and he will never give it up unless it is absolutely necessary.

The wolf orcs are not a monolithic group, conflicts do exist, and the amount of resources determines the degree of voice.

The young king of the wolf orcs ordered all the wolf orc tribes in the area to evacuate.

He did not fully comply.

The wolf orcs stepped up patrols in the saline lake area to guard against the possible arrival of large enemy forces.

As for the ratman troop that was being chased by eight hundred wolf knights, it was the ratman general who led that ratman troop.

However, they still couldn't find any trace of them, so they had to give up. Perhaps they had escaped, and more of their focus was put on guarding against the large enemy forces that might appear on the grassland.

Wolf riders were sent to the grasslands to give early warning.

But what the wolf orc leader didn't know was that the guy who led the weak troops suddenly appeared in front of him and never left the city.

And had already cast his red eyes on him.

Digging through the hard saline-alkali land, caves were opened up one after another, hidden on the shores of the grayish-white saline-alkali lake.

They hide in caves during the day and move deeper along the lakeshore at night.

It took a full seven days for Qi and the remaining ratmen troops to rush into the core area of ​​the saline lake.

He finally saw what he was looking for, large and small wolf-orc tribes.

Also found my goal.

In the center of the largest wolf orc tribe, there stood a most magnificent tent, with a giant wolf flag fluttering in the wind.
