From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 187, The temporary retreat of the wolf beastmen, the devout ordinary believers

In the center of the increasingly chaotic camp, Shu Zhan stopped and stood calmly in the center of the battlefield without any fear.

Surrounded by silent and brutal knights.

The rat knights behind them had not arrived yet, and the number of the ferocious knights was far from enough to crush the wolf orc knights gathered in the camp in front of them.

But Shu Zhan was not afraid at all.

His scarlet eyes fell on the wolf-orc camp in front of him, watching the vast number of wolf-orc knights rushing towards him.

In the chaos, fire was ignited in the camp at some point, and the ferocious knights surrounding Shu Zhan had already started a bloody and brutal fight with the wolf knights.

Some ferocious knights have already fallen under the surging attacks of the wolf knights, leaving behind their final sharp neighs.

The death of the Brutal Knight did not move Rat Zhan until he found another worthy target.

A wolf-orc general emerged.

With a ferocious smile on his face, Shuzhan once again began his charge in the chaotic camp.

The quality of the wolf orcs is quite excellent. Even though they are surrounded by the aura of killing, they still have a certain degree of organizational ability.

The wolf-orc general in charge of this camp raised the flag and shouted in an attempt to reorganize the army and stop the widespread chaos.

But this was not a wise decision, as he was targeted by a dangerous and violent guy.

The wolf-orc general caught a glimpse of a scarlet light streaking across the sky and instinctively dodged, saving his own life.

However, the mount he was riding was not so lucky. A giant white wolf that was tainted with supernatural elements was pierced through the body by the scarlet spear that streaked across the sky without any reaction. Amidst the painful howls, the wolf knight general on it was also thrown off the giant wolf.

The giant wolf died howling.

The Wolf Knight Commander rolled on the ground in a panic, accompanied by a sharp and piercing twisted laughter that was getting closer and closer.

He saw his own guards, who had gathered spontaneously, falling like weeds, and he also saw the attacker who threw the scarlet spear.

Look into those scarlet eyes.

Shu Zhan took down the black dragon flag behind him.

This is the flag blessed by God, the flag followed by countless ratmen armies, and also a weapon of killing.

The largest and most ferocious giant rat broke through the last layer of obstacles gathered around the wolf-orc general. The flying wolf-orc knight interrupted the wolf-orc general's response. The scarlet and malicious red eyes and the high-raised black flag became the last scene that the wolf-orc general saw.

Of course he tried to fight with Shu Zhan and wanted to resist the coming death, but it was obvious that he was not qualified to fight with Shu Zhan.

Pulling out the black dragon flag blessed by the great gods, the blood-stained flag fluttered in the night sky. The wolf-orc general knelt weakly on the ground. He couldn't even take Shu Zhan's attack.

All the troublesome guys in this camp have been killed by Shuzhan, and now, no one can stop this killing.

The rat knights arrived at the right time to relieve the pressure on the ferocious knight who was being besieged by the wolf orc knights.

The wolf-orc knights were naturally brave, but a scarlet aura of killing enveloped the entire scene. Without the advice of the priests and generals, they attacked the enemies in front of them with red eyes and in anger that was enough to make them lose their minds, regardless of everything.

The enemies in front of them fell one by one, but their fate was already determined after they lost their minds.

The chaos in this wolf orc camp was noticed by other wolf orc camps, and they responded quickly. The first to arrive was the wolf orc king holding a golden flag.

A large army of knights appeared outside the chaotic camp.

At this time, the Wolf Orc King once again faced Shu Zhan from a distance. Shu Zhan's face was filled with glaring sarcasm. With the fire and chaos burning in the camp, he didn't care at all that he was now surrounded by a group of crazy wolf knights.

He raised his head with wanton sarcasm and ridicule towards the wolf-orc not far away.

If there is anyone among the wolf orcs who can fight against Rat Zhan, it is only the wolf orc king blessed by the gods.

But he couldn't change anything.

The Rat War brought not only the Brutal Knights, but also the Rat Knights.

In the distance, the sound of a larger army had reached here. It was a harsh noise, the sound of countless ratmen running.

The sarcastic expression became even more unscrupulous. The blood-stained black dragon flag was carried on Shu Zhan's back again, and the scarlet spear was pulled out from the white wolf's body.

Suddenly, a sharp roar erupted in the camp, suppressing the echo in the distance, causing the arriving rat knights to begin a mad charge, trying to reach Shu Zhan. They wanted to join Shu Zhan and loyally guard their commander-in-chief.

They are destroyed at an extremely fast rate in battle.

More and more wolf riders arrived at the chaotic camp.

But the more this happened, the more unscrupulous the sneer on Shu Zhan's face became, as he was certain that these guys in front of him could not do anything to him.

It was not just sarcasm and mockery. If you looked closely, you would see that in addition to the sarcasm and mockery on his face, Shu Zhan's eyes were full of greed.

The scarlet eyes could not be buried by the darkness, and their greedy gaze fell on everything in front of them.

A hairy guy, an expensive guy, a sacrifice to the gods, a sacrifice to demonstrate authority!
Such a gaze made the wolf orc king frown, and the longbow behind him was taken down and bent.

At this moment, Shu Zhan felt a great danger coming.

The Wolf Orc King is also a hero.

A brutal knight blocked the incoming arrow for Shu Zhan, and the arrow almost pierced through the brutal knight's heavy armor.

There was no stopping the greed in Shu Zhan's eyes.

On the contrary, greed was accompanied by endless malice, and a sarcastic expression appeared along with a hideous smile.

Shu Zhan held up a piece of material towards the Wolf Orc King in the distance. It was a complete piece of wolf orc leather, which came from the general who supported the Wolf Knights of Four Seasons Ranch. It was also his current cushion.

The greedy gaze was fixed on the body of the wolf orc king, wandering around wantonly, and the meaning was equally clear.

After all, the young wolf orc king was not as bad as Shuzhan, and snorted coldly.

They turned around and left. The melee did not break out, and the huge ratman army had already appeared at the edge of the grassland.

Pairs of red eyes appeared in the darkness and ran wildly across the vast grassland.

At this moment, Shu Zhan burst into wild and sharp laughter.

The raid came to an end with the arrival of the endless ratmen warriors. The wolf orc king and the remaining wolf knights disappeared into the depths of the vast grassland.

Such a loss forced the wolf orcs to temporarily withdraw, and Rat War finally gathered all the sacrifices for the grand sacrifice.

At dawn, the battle ended and the fighting in the camp stopped. Rat War finally gathered enough sacrifices for the soon-to-be-completed temple of the gods.

This raid changed some things. The temporary disappearance of the Wolf Riders did not mean the end of the war. On the contrary, the war was about to enter another stage.

Not necessarily a good thing.

But that is obviously something to be taken care of later. Now, a grand sacrifice is about to begin.

Not long after, with the last stroke of the divine pillar falling under the cautious movement of the Big Claw Priest, the temple of the gods fell into this scarlet pit.

The grand sacrifice is about to begin!

Shu Zhan stood in front of the temple of the great god. Due to the limitations of the materials and the current location of the ratmen, even though the ratmen never perfunctorily dealt with matters concerning the gods, this temple of the gods built in the scarlet pit was still a bit crude.

It is almost completely open, but Du Yuan's authority among the rat people has never been determined by the exquisiteness and magnificence of the hall.

That filled blood pool, that blood pool where corpses are always floating, is the true embodiment of Du Yuan's authority.

The Rat Warriors, waving flags, stood before the altar of the great god, climbed onto the platform and cheered loudly. In an instant, the enthusiasm spread to all the ratmen who were witnessing this scene.

It’s strange to say, the ratmen clearly had an absolute advantage, but in last night’s battle, the ratmen’s casualties were still higher than those of the wolf-orcs.

There are many reasons. After all, only a small number of rats can rush into the battlefield. The quality of wolf orcs is indeed stronger than that of ordinary rats. In addition, the killing aura that Rat War has always bestowed makes these guys too restless.

But the rat people obviously don't care about the dead guy.

Shouting loudly and fanatically at this moment.

One by one, the wolf orcs were pushed onto the altar. In the depths of the grassland, there were certainly not as many exquisite and professional sacrificial instruments as in the desolate mountains. Most of the executions of these wolf orcs were done with the scimitars seized from the wolf orcs themselves.

The scimitar raised high chopped off the heads of the wolf orcs one by one, no matter what expression these guys showed on their faces when facing death.

Anger, fear, sadness, numbness, not many rat people care.

Being pushed onto the altar, being pushed onto the altar, all are sacrifices! All are sacrifices!
Fanatical cheers accompanied the beheading of the last wolf-orc captive as it was thrown into a pool of blood.

Shu Zhan, standing in front of the altar, showed a wanton and intoxicated smile at this scene, with the black dragon flag fluttering beside him.

How can I not be intoxicated!
This is achievement, this is power, and it is in one's own hands.

How can one not be intoxicated!

The rats began to pray to the gods spontaneously, shouting devoutly and fanatically at this moment.

"Great God! Great God!"

Regardless of their identities, all the ratmen who witnessed this scene shouted in unison. The big claw priests, ratmen warriors, ratmen priests, ratmen warriors, and even the slave rats would carefully raise their heads and stand on tiptoe at this moment, eagerly and devoutly peeking at the stone pillar representing the god.

"Great God! Great God!"

You could say that the ratmen's prayers are mixed with too many messy desires, but their piety is unquestionable. Even the ratmen caravans that have gone through untold hardships to get here will shout fanatically and excitedly at this moment.

Even if the goods they desire may all have been thrown into the blood pool by Rat War, even if not being able to exchange for enough goods may result in death.

Except for two guys.

In this pious cry, in which even the slave rats were shouting with all their might, there were only two guys.

Rat Zhan standing in front of the altar of the gods and the flag hidden among the countless ratmen, looking at Rat Zhan eagerly.

Qi returned on the last day before the blood sacrifice with a rich harvest.

The wolf-orc tribe guarding the saline lake was destroyed by him and his teams of rat mercenaries, but the fruits of victory were almost monopolized by him.

He did not attack these rat mercenaries, but most of them were destroyed in the counterattack of the wolf orcs.

This was not an easy war, but the number of troops under the banner was unusually large, as they gathered the remnants of the destroyed rat mercenaries.

Only the weakest group of rat mercenaries were left, returning with a rich load of fruits.

The flag also needs the rat mercenaries, but the rat mercenaries will not remember so much. No one knows what happened on the vast grassland. They will only remember that a group of rat mercenaries received a generous reward after following the flag back.

Qi has indeed grown a lot. He returned before the grand sacrifice began. When he entered the scarlet pit, he was still wondering when the rows of big-clawed priests appeared on the roadside.

Rows of big-clawed priests were hanged high on the roadside, undoubtedly the work of Rat War, which made Qi a little more cautious until he stepped into the scarlet pit and witnessed the busy and lively moments of the rats.

This was the first time that Qi truly witnessed the grand sacrifice dedicated to the gods.

Witnessing this grand and sacred scene, his attention was attracted by Rat Zhan standing on the altar.

During this grand sacrifice, Qi understood for the first time what the thing he longed for really represented.

It was not a powerful army of ratmen, nor was it one that would make countless ratmen show admiration and fear when their name was mentioned.

He stared blankly at Shu Zhan who was standing proudly in front of the altar of the gods. Shu Zhan's position was only slightly lower than the altar of the great gods, and the exquisite black dragon flag was fluttering beside him.

That is the qualification to stand before the great gods.

This scene attracted Qi's attention so deeply that he even missed the devout prayer offered to God. It took him a long time to come back to his senses from his trance.

At this time, everything has stopped, Rat War has also left, and the strange gazes of the surrounding rat people are on Qi.

But Qi remembered the scene just now deeply in his mind. It was a picture he would never forget.

Turn around and leave.

He is still far from what he expected, very far away.

This is why Qi remained silent in prayer, watching in fascination.

As for the rat war?

Even though this guy had received Du Yuan's blessing and had the title of God-given, in terms of his level of faith, he was just a believer, not a fanatical believer, nor a shallow believer.

He is far from being as bad as his predecessor, the Spear Rat, who had been floating between shallow believers and non-believers for years.

He is just an ordinary devout believer.

　There will be another one later.
