From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 181: The Age of White Rats Has Not Passed Away
Rolling hills, in front of tall sacred oak trees.

After a brief rest, the Western Expeditionary Force's offensive began again

Sheng Qi began to extract slave rats stored in the coal mine to replenish the army.

Instead of requiring fully equipped ratmen warriors.

It would be better to send several times more slave rats to fill the battle line. Sheng Qi has no shortage of equipment.

A large number of weapons from the dead ratmen warriors were recovered and distributed.

As for the issue of morale, there is no need to worry about it.

After the two senior rat-man priests left, power once again fell into the hands of those rat-man priests who were like fence-sitters.

When the uncooperative ratman priests were pushed to the forefront of the war by Sheng Qi, pushed into the bell tower, and faced the dazzling magic that was roaring towards them.

Smart guys will naturally choose to cooperate, these guys are not that hard-headed.

Even if we can meet, betrayal will happen again.

But Sheng Qi had no other way to deal with these guys.

The army really needs the support of these rat priests. Without them, this brutal siege cannot be sustained at all.

He wanted to learn about rat warfare and promote the merit system of the rat army, but Sheng Qi was neither qualified to appoint rat warlords nor had a stable rear and troop replenishment.

Shu Zhan did not give up all his cities. At least he managed to seize Furnace City and Grassland City with his own strength.

Even though there is a new rat lord in the Crucible City, the real ruler of the city still belongs to the Rat War faction.

But from being the leader of the Rat War at the beginning, he was now controlled by the group of priests accompanying the army.

The ratman lord of Crucible City has been sidelined.

The same is true of Prairie City.

He led a supervisory team and an army of 200,000 ratmen and stationed them outside the temple of the gods in the grassland city.

Make sure to firmly suppress the 5,000 temple guards stationed in the temple.

In name, the purpose is to recruit ratmen troops. As the key node connecting the vast grassland to the barren mountains of Furnace City, Grassland City can also provide support for the rat-war army.

But the actual intention is easy to guess. It is nothing more than to firmly block the key node connecting the grassland to the barren mountains. It may be a threat, intimidation, or simply distrust.

This would ensure that he could at least overturn the table on the grassland.

All we need to do is block the grassland city, and then a large-scale purge can be launched on the grassland at any time, which is a blatant threat.

Everyone knows this, and no unwise person would try to provoke this hot-tempered guy at this sensitive moment.

Because Shu Zhan was actually deprived of many things in this appointment.

The continuous output brought by the city was directly and completely banned, eliminating the possibility for Rat War to rely on building cities to maintain its territory and obtain a steady stream of resources.

It cut off the possibility for the rat warlords to gain autonomy.

This turmoil was originally caused by the excesses of the Rat War, and those rat priests were just the unlucky ones who were implicated, although these unlucky guys were not wrongly implicated.

The old white rat drew a red line in the rat war.

As the supreme leader of the rat warlords, he should get everything from war and can only get it from war.

Some concessions were also made.

Rat War is too far away from the Desolate Mountains, and the white rat is too old.

With the tacit consent of the White Rat, the Crucible City still belongs to Rat War, even though the nominal ruling power has changed.

A weak and insignificant senior ratman priest was assigned to the Crucible City.

This is the rat's tacit consent.

What happened in Prairie City was the choice of that arrogant guy Shu Zhan.

This move was not wise. He could have stayed dormant for a long time, waiting for the end of the White Rat Era.

Rat War was too arrogant.

It is obvious that the result cannot be changed, but you still have to use the power in your hands to forcibly shift it.

But it’s not surprising. This is Shu Zhan. This is what this guy Shu Zhan would do.

He is indeed capable of doing such a thing. The glory of the rat warlords all depends on him, and he alone is enough to form a faction.

At least at this moment, it is the title of the Rat People Commander-in-Chief that is glorious because of Rat War, rather than Rat War being glorious because of the title of the Rat People Commander-in-Chief.

There is just one problem.

The era of White Rat has not ended. Compared to Rat War, White Rat is more noble, more glorious, and more powerful, even though he is old.

Rope Seven is no match for Rat War.

Most of the proceeds from this war have been sold by him, so he doesn't need to be so tight on money. With the support of this huge amount of blood mushrooms, the merit system can be tried and implemented.

The implementation of the merit system can greatly increase his prestige and suppress the Western Expeditionary Force's reliance on the rat priests.

However, Sheng Qi, who had suffered a loss, was still determined to build up his rear. However, he was also somewhat hesitant. He was not sure whether he could smoothly mobilize such a large army after breaking away from the rat priests.

But these are things to be thought about later, after the war is over.

The return of the rat raiders brought rare good news to Sheng Qi.

He was about to gain Longclaw's support, although apart from the confirmed news of gaining support, he knew basically nothing about anything else when asking this team of returning ratmen raiders.

I don’t know what that support will be, and I don’t know when that support will be given, I only know that Long Claws will provide support.

It's really puzzling.

But it's a good thing no matter what, because my boss has a seat as a member of parliament.

Even if he didn't give anything, it would be a great help when he was ready to withdraw from those senior rat priests.

But what does he need?

This lesson taught Sheng Qi many things and made him see clearly that many false things actually come from the bottom of things. In the end, everything comes down to interests and power.

It was so light that those senior ratmen priests could easily accuse him of neglecting the gods because they held the power.

The reason why they put such a hat on themselves was because of interests, in order to erase the qualifications of Sheng Qi to participate in the sacred sacrifice on the ruins of the heretic god's temple at the end of the war.

It's just a pity that they were easily controlled by another guy who had greater power.

Sheng Qi was very grateful to Bai Shu, because it was because of Bai Shu's punishment of these senior rat priests that he had the opportunity to break free from the control of these senior rat priests.

More thirsty for power.

At the same time, Sheng Qi thought about the benefits he could bring to Long Claws.

Thinking of the surging flesh and blood and the deformed ratmen, Sheng Qi recalled why he deliberately distanced himself from the long claws after the war against the wild boar people.

Shivered.

But when he thought back to what those damn guys had done to him, his face showed a bit more determination.

He knew what he could bring to Longclaw.

Those half-elf slaves, these guys with long claws will definitely be interested.

Before Long Claw could raise his hand, Rope Seven spontaneously began to transport the captured half-elf slaves to Long Claw.

This is indeed what Long Claws needs.

It has to be said that Sheng Qi is indeed a rat man with great talent in communication, although he may have some misunderstandings about the source of power.
