From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 186: Raid in the Dark, the Victor is the One Who Makes the Final Decision

Pale land, clear lake, even after the rats retreated, this saline lake did not return to its tranquility.

The wolf orcs have increased their exploitation of the saline lake, and white salt blocks are constantly being fished out of the lake.

The wolf beastmen now need salt, a lot of salt, because of the war that has broken out.

Because of this need, this saline lake close to the area where the ratmen are entrenched was preserved, although by running westwards one can find a large, boundless salt lake.

It’s just that the distance is too great and makes many things unrealistic.

Bags of salt were dug out from this pale lake and carried into the depths of the grassland by teams of arriving wolf-orc knights.

The gradually growing army of wolf beastmen has exceeded the carrying capacity of the grasslands in this area.

However, the subsequent conflicts were suppressed by the wolf orcs' style. Apart from occupying mineral resources, the wolf orcs did not engage in any production.

They have been waging war all the time, conquering one tribal race after another. To some extent, they are also a nomadic race, but other races are taking advantage of this vast grassland.

And they are demanding from other races on this vast grassland.

The slaughter and plunder of the enemies supported their rapid development. Between continued development and a wave of wealth, the wolf beastmen chose a wave of wealth.

This is certainly an unhealthy state, but fortunately this grassland is vast enough. As long as they can keep winning and as long as they can keep plundering, they will remain strong.

The war stopped until they encountered the ratmen who broke into the grassland.

The young wolf orc king decided to put aside everything else and defeat the powerful enemy in front of him to demonstrate his majesty, but it was not so easy.

Fortunately, before the full-scale war broke out, two unfortunate victims had already appeared.

The destruction of the centaurs and bearmen gave the wolf orcs the confidence to continue the fight.

It was a huge herd of cattle and sheep that could cover everything in front of it. It was also the cornerstone supporting the continuation and growth of the two powerful grassland races. It was completely taken away by the wolf orcs in the war.

What is easily obtained is not cherished, and there is currently no suitable pasture for grazing on this grassland.

In addition to the two main forces confronting each other on the front battlefield, countless small-scale rat-man troops are appearing in every place on this vast grassland at an astonishing speed.

Even the fertile pastures in the rear began to be spied on by sneaky figures in the darkness, and even the weakest rabbit people began to spontaneously form guards to guard their own pastures.

The wolf orcs adopted the most short-sighted and direct way to deal with the cattle and sheep in their hands.

Kill them, process them simply, and use them as food to prepare for war.

In order to better preserve, salt becomes a necessity.

Unexpectedly, the wolf orcs quickly reached the most prosperous and wealthy stage in their history during this period, amidst the violent consumption of huge spoils.

The king of the wolf orcs is not a king who follows the rules. To some extent, the wolf orcs are better at war than the ratmen.

If the Rat Man hadn't shown up, he would most likely have been able to complete the vision that was imprinted on the flag.

The greedy hungry wolf is about to devour everything on this vast grassland, and by consuming countless other grassland races, it will forge a powerful superpower empire as a ladder to its greedy devouring sun.

Even though an empire built in this way is destined to be short-lived, when there is nothing to devour it, that is the moment when the empire collapses.

Coincidentally, the rat people were in the same state at this time, and were even more twisted and cruel than the wolf people.

At least, even though the wolf beastmen carried out killing, they did not go to the final step. They claimed to be civilized people and would not actively devour other intelligent races.

As for the ratmen, the diet of this group of guys includes ratmen.

Both sides are seeking more in the war.

When two nations encounter each other, there is bound to be a winner. War and desolation are not absolutely related. War can also bring prosperity, but there is only one prerequisite.

You can be the winner.

A group of ratmen broke away from the main army under Rat Zhan's command, and the flag was wearing armor again. It was not the full body heavy armor worn by the ferocious knights, but just a simple leather armor.

He used the blood mushrooms in his hand on more important things, and he finally obtained a truly impressive ratman army.

And a giant rat.

The giant rat is just an ordinary giant rat, nothing special about it, and no different from those giant rats ridden by the ratmen knights.

The Ratman Army was also an ordinary Ratman Army. The number of ratmen was not large, only about 10,000. But at least the ratmen warriors in this army were no longer thin or had missing parts. They all held the mottled spears.

This is his new bargaining chip.

An army formed by young ratmen came to purchase weapons from the Big Claw Priests, consuming all the blood mushrooms in the flag bearer's hands. Their weapons came from the weapons left behind by the fallen guys.

This is his new bargaining chip, but it is not enough.

After going through a series of events, the simple flag was no longer intact but a bit tattered. There were even some tears on the flag surface, but this did not affect the flag bearer who still carried it on his back.

He believed that one day he would change his flag and truly carry the flag blessed by God.

This is a dream imagined by countless rat people, and it is also the dream he longs for.

Like countless other ratmen, he was almost going crazy with desire.

Riding on the giant rat, behind him, the young ratman holding a mottled spear was also looking around on the grassland. These guys had a natural curiosity about everything.

Afterwards, several other troops caught up with Shangqi. These were the rat mercenaries he hired. They did not use blood mushrooms and did not need blood mushrooms.

Now, the most crazy thing on this grassland is no longer the blood mushroom, but the skin of the wolf orcs. And Qi just happened to know that there is a place where there is a group of wolf orcs who are separated from their group. That is a crazy wealth.

As for credibility, Shu Zhan's credibility indirectly guaranteed him, even though he was not yet a true rat warlord.

On the vast grassland, the tattered flag behind the banner fluttered in the wind. Around it, as teams of rat mercenaries gathered, gradually, a large-scale rat army gathered.

A ratman army of this size ensures the safety of the march. The team's wolf knights will not foolishly attack such a large ratman team. It is also the force that the flag must rely on to return to that pale land.

The flag requires chips, lots of chips.

………….

The battle between the two sides was intense, and the wolf knights had stopped attacking the deep pit. Outside the spiraling deep pit, trenches were dug out by the huge scavenging team. Even without the towering walls, the wolf knights had to stop their pace.

It's not just because of the gullies that hinder the charge, but also because the rats are particularly restless during this period.

The temple of the god was about to fall in the center of the pit, but it still lacked sacrifices.

Shu Zhan was not willing to use the corpses of the ratmen to fill the sacred blood pool, as this would demonstrate his incompetence, and the corpses of the ratmen were indeed not qualified.

In the dark night, the rats gathered under the black dragon flag of Rat War and launched a charge towards the flank of the main wolf orc army camp.

The wolf orcs did not station all their troops together, but instead dispersed them into nine camps. Eight camps commanded by wolf orc generals guarded the base camp where the wolf orc king sat.

The scattered camps prevented sudden attacks from dragging all the troops into chaos, while the distance between the camps provided the wolf riders with charging distance.

Just so suddenly, Shuzhan led the rat knights to attack the wolf orc camp stationed on the side and rear.

The attack was naturally noticed.

They should have been on guard against it, but the wolf orcs were obviously a little flustered in their response. They obviously did not expect that the ratmen, who had been hiding in one place to build a city, would suddenly launch a night raid.

Moreover, in order to collect the sacrifice to the gods, this guy Shuzhan also sought some external help, which was unusual for him.

A phalanx formed by Big Claw Priests appeared in the night raid.

As they prayed and danced, sharp rock spikes gathered together and streaked across the sky like meteors.

But the effect is not good.

The magic of the Big Claw Priests is not particularly reliable. Years of taking over the command of basic construction have caused their magic to gradually become abandoned.

But hiring those damned rat priests was something Shu Zhan could never accept.

However, the rock spikes thrown by these big claw priests did not have the effect that Rat Zhan had expected. They even alarmed the wolf orc camp farther away, which made Rat Zhan so angry that he started cursing.

It was a folly to have hope in these damned priests.

He kicked the closest big-clawed priest in front of him and knocked over, and the big-clawed priests gathered in front of him fled in fear.

In fact, the Big Claw Priests of these scavenging teams are already a group of guys with more powerful divine arts among the Big Claw Priest group. After being freed from all-day labor, these guys finally have time to pick up the divine arts bestowed by the gods.

But they are just a group of more powerful guys among the Big Claw Priests.

Shu Zhan mounted his mount, a particularly huge and ferocious giant rat. Amidst its sharp roar, a terrifying blood-red shadow unfolded behind him. The ferocious knight beside him clenched his lance tightly, and his eyes were stained with a hint of scarlet.

There was no way. All the wolf-orc sacrifices, captives, and slaves obtained during this period were exchanged for the rat-man caravans that arrived waving blood mushrooms.

Even Shu Zhan himself was a little dazzled by the high price, but the completion of the temple of the gods required sacrifices.

There was no other way. He couldn't just use the heads of those humble guys to build a Jingguan to sacrifice to the gods when the temple was completed.

This is not allowed!

With a sharp roar, Shu Zhan led the ferocious knights around him in a violent charge, and later, the huge rat knights followed.

As soon as Shu Zhan left, the Big Claw Priest who was kicked to the ground climbed up, whispering softly, and soon, another rock cone was gathered.

Obviously, he does not believe in evil, and is a somewhat stubborn big-clawed priest.

This time, his performance was much better. The rock spike was finally no longer crooked, at least it went straight across the sky, but there was bad news.

Not flying far enough.

It flew across the sky and quickly landed on the ground.

With a dull thud, the leader of the ferocious knights carrying the black dragon flag staggered and almost fell to the ground.

In a sharp roar of anger.

The unfortunate fellow carrying the black dragon flag turned his head, his scarlet eyes were so conspicuous even in the darkness.

At this moment, a glance lasts for a thousand years.

This unbelieving Big Claw Priest also joined the fleeing crowd, but it was hard to say whether running was of any use now.

There was a bit of unspeakable anger in Shu Zhan's sharp roar, and the silent and ferocious knight slammed into the wolf orcs' camp with his figure.

This sudden attack in the dark night did have some effect.

And the ones leading the charge were the most ferocious and brutal knights. In the first wave of charge, those wolf knights who had just mounted the giant wolves and had not yet started running were directly knocked to the ground by the ferocious knights who were rushing forward. Amid the painful howls, a black dragon flag also arrived.

Rat War's killing aura was bestowed upon all the wolf orcs in this camp.

Chaos is about to spread in this camp.

But the wolf orcs also had a response to this. An old wolf orc priest blew the horn in his hand during the strange dance. With the crisp sound of the horn, emerald green light was bestowed on the wolf orc camp, trying to dispel the killing aura of Rat War.

One issue has been overlooked, Rat Warrior's killing aura is different from that of ordinary rat priests, it is a true blessing from God.

Not only did the sound of the horn fail to dispel the falling scarlet light, it also exposed the wolf orc priest himself.

It was obvious that this old wolf-orc priest would be a trouble of some size, and Rat War had always had a unified principle for dealing with such troubles.

The ferocious and ferocious giant rat leaped up, wielding a scarlet spear and running towards him with a grin. The wolf-orc knight who was blocking the way was easily swept away.

The old wolf orc priest wanted to dodge in fear, but it was obviously too late to run away.

He was lifted high up, with a scarlet spear piercing his body, accompanied by Shu Zhan's ferocious and dangerous smile.

The effect of the killing halo has gradually become apparent. The wolf orc knight beside Shu Zhan has gradually turned red-eyed. He no longer cares about anything else and pounces towards Shu Zhan.

However, he was knocked away by the brutal knights who arrived from behind.

Although Shu Zhan seldom charges into battle, it does not mean that he is weak. In this world where gods exist, besides the gods themselves, the heroes themselves are the biggest variables on the battlefield.

Chaos began to spread in the wolf-orc camp.
