From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 189: Greed overwhelms everything, the wolf beastman reappears
Giving in never brings good results, it always has.

The three tribes of rabbit people, cat people, and deer people welcomed the wolf-beastmen's visit again, and it was not a friendly visit.

Under the strict conscription, every warrior of the three tribes joined the conscription of the wolf orcs to fulfill their obligations as members of the grassland kingdom.

The defeated Wolf Orc King tore off the little disguise on his face. The arrival of the huge Wolf Orc army made resistance an unrealistic thing.

Surrender had already happened once before, and the result this time was not much different.

A mighty army was pushed onto the battlefield, in confusion and anxiety, for the same reason, for survival. The progress of civilization brought more shackles, emotions, offspring, inheritance, and the relatives who depended on them.

All the warriors of the three races were pushed onto the battlefield by the wolf orcs, and in confusion they were assembled into a mighty army.

Their gods were powerless to stop this, and there were also gaps between the gods. The three apprentice gods were powerless to resist the wolf-orc god who had already ascended to the level of demigod.

When the wolf-orc god actually arrived in this area, surrender became a matter of course.

But can this really bring good results?
Among the assembled troops of the three tribes, a rabbit warrior clenched the stone spear in his hand, feeling uneasy. He also had concerns and had reasons to step onto the battlefield.

Before leaving, his mate gave birth to a litter of young.

Among the litter of little rabbits, the one he cared about the most was the pure white little one, with eyes like rubies and pure white fur without a trace of other colors, as if it was blessed by God. Just thinking back to the fluffy white little one made him grin.

Like a clear spring flowing into my heart.

I couldn't help but be distracted, but I couldn't be distracted during the march.

The cat-man soldiers who came from behind pushed and shoved him.

In panic, the weak rabbit warrior was knocked off balance and was sneered at by the deer knights who were mixed in the army.

The two long ears drooped down because of fear and panic.

I didn’t dare to be distracted anymore, but I couldn’t help but pray in my heart.

Little fur ball, I hope mommy can take good care of you. Little fur ball, you are a gift from God, I hope you can grow up healthily.

The marching speed of the assembled army of the three tribes was not fast. The wolf orcs used tough and rigid means to forcibly blend the armies of the three races together, completely disrupting the power of the three races. The warriors of the three tribes who were unable to unite lost the qualifications to resist the wolf orcs.

This approach brought about a problem: the combat effectiveness of this tough, integrated army was not up to standard.

But it is obvious that the wolf beastmen do not care about such shortcomings.

Groups of wolf riders roamed around this huge assembled army, driving them away, deterring them, and also like grazing hounds.

Behind this huge assembled army, there was a golden flag in the center surrounded by many wolf knights.

The golden banner was carried by the young king of the wolf orcs.

The destruction of a camp and the loss of nearly 50,000 wolf riders in the ratman raid was not a serious blow to the wolf orcs, but it was indeed a tragic defeat for the wolf orc king.

His authority did not suffer much of a blow. There was no accountability from the gods, no accusations from the priests, and the wolf-orc generals did not have any huge reaction to this failure.

Everything seems to make sense.

The number of enemies is simply too great.

Maybe even many guys felt relieved after the failure.

The wolf beastmen are not without a way out, nor do they have to fight to the death with the rat beastmen.

What the unproductive wolf orcs need is victory or the plunder that victory brings. As for pastures, land, allies, and servants, these are not so necessary.

It is not a wise choice to fight to the death with the ratmen legions that build huge cities. There are too many weak races on this vast grassland that can be easily trampled by the wolf orcs.

If they cannot win foreign wars for a long time, if they cannot plunder rich resources for a long time, then the wolf orcs will easily fall into destruction without the interference of the rat people.

The resources brought by wars were so abundant that most of the wolf tribes had already given up the laborious herding and production and instead began to focus on training warriors.

Every wolf orc knight will receive the sincere and grand blessing of the entire tribe when leaving the tribe and about to step onto the battlefield.

This is an absolutely sincere blessing and also an expectation. I hope that you will become a true warrior, a powerful fighter, and look forward to your return with rich harvests.

One by one, the wolf orc tribes have gathered in the rear according to the gods' oracle, and the resources obtained by the wolf orcs in the previous two wars have also been piled up in the rear.

The wolf beastmen can abandon everything on this grassland at any time and move deeper into the vast grassland.

However, the young wolf orc king was unwilling to accept this failure so easily. There was no other reason. Since he wanted to devour the sun, he had to bite every enemy that appeared in front of him.

On this grassland, the wolf pack will not rashly gamble everything, but the wolf king must have the courage to challenge everything.

The wolf orcs are back, bringing with them a chaotic but large mixed army.

The rat knights running on the grassland brought this news back to the Rat War entrenched in the scarlet pit.

After confirming the news, Shu Zhan's joy almost jumped out.

After a long period of irritability, Shu Zhan finally received good news.

During the time when the wolf orcs were away, Rat War, having lost its target once again, had to send out teams of rat knights to gallop across the vast grassland.

Waiting impatiently.

Until the wolf beastmen returned on their own initiative.

A group of sacrifices ran towards him?
This is great! This is really great!
The excited Shu Zhan happily paced back and forth in the room built with flat stone slabs at the bottom of the scarlet pit. Suddenly, the excited Shu Zhan thought of something, stopped, and the excitement on his face faded.

Even though the return of those guys is a good thing, but before that, it’s time to make those despicable and shameful food-stealing rats spit out something!

A smile appeared on Shu Zhan's face again, but this time the smile on Shu Zhan's face was somewhat evil and malicious.

In the scarlet pit, the huge army of ratmen moved again, under the command of Rat Zhan.

The noise caused was quite a big one, and it also attracted the attention of many guys who were paying attention to the movements of the rat army.

Needless to say, the rat scavengers are still huge in size, and they still follow Rat War on every battlefield, but their days have been getting harder and harder recently.

The rat mercenaries separated themselves from the scavenger group, and the original business of reselling spoils was completely taken over by the rat caravans that had stronger power backed by the rat lords, making this group of guys more in line with their name, and they truly became a group of scavengers who picked up and searched for any valuable remnants on the battlefield.

This transformation makes the composition of the rat scavengers more pure.

There are basically no Big Claw Priests anymore. The Rat Priests mingle among the Rat Scavengers. Even the slightly larger Rat Groups no longer appear among the Rat Scavengers.

Those defective slave rats that should have been crawling in the shadows of the city, those ownerless slave rats whose managers and slave owners died on the grassland, and those eliminated rat warriors who were injured and disabled in the war.

There is no concept of compensation among the rat people. The best result on the battlefield is to survive intact, the general result is death, and the worst result, of course, is to survive with a disability.

The rats from all over the place formed a large but weak group of rat scavengers.

They had no ability to snatch food from any normal ratmen, whether they were the Big Claw Priests, the Young Rat Priests, the Rat Priests, the Rat Warriors, the Rat Caravans, or the former scavenger teams that had accumulated wealth and transformed themselves into rat mercenary teams.

Fortunately, the Rat War inadvertently gave them another way except rolling into the darkness of the city and crawling or dying.

Following behind the rat army, after one brutal war after another, there is an opportunity to search for various odds and ends on the messy battlefield.

Shu Zhan had always known about the group of rat scavengers following behind his army, but his understanding was limited to knowing about them. He just treated them as a group of cannon fodder. Even when these rat scavengers could have played some role, he did not take them seriously.

Rat War was unaware of the changes in the rat scavengers.

He also didn't know that this group of guys have gradually fallen to the point where they are not even qualified to be cannon fodder, and he didn't care. This arrogant guy's eyes never lingered on these humble guys behind him.

It wasn't intentional, but Shu Zhan actually protected this group of humble guys and allowed them to follow the army, which was a rare gift for them.

After all, in the dark corners of the city, these born defective ratmen and those who became defective ratmen for various reasons, the best result after these guys are discovered is that they flee in panic into the dark corners of the city again, and the worst result is probably that they appear in a pool of blood or noisy ruins.

The rats are not very averse to eating their own kind, especially in this empty and barren grassland.

The rat-men in the rat-city are rat-men, the rats in the rat-city are rat-men, the cockroaches in the rat-city are also rat-men, they are all rat-men.

This arrogant guy Shuzhan has a very good reputation among the lower-level rat people, even though he has never paid any attention to these humble guys.

Chasing after Rat Zhan were large groups of rat mercenaries. These first generation rat mercenaries who had separated from the rat scavenging team had already become a considerable force. They chased after Rat Zhan, looking for opportunities in the brutal war for the huge profits.

The price of wolf orc leather was raised to a new level during the time when the wolf orcs were away, and every wolf orc seemed to have become a walking blood mushroom.

Those rat caravans have raised the price of live wolf-orc slaves to three hundred blood mushrooms each, which is worth them ignoring all risks and chasing them madly like moths.

These rat caravans really offered a price that the rats could not refuse, and it was not just the rat mercenaries who were attracted by such a price.

From young ratmen to young ratmen priests, from big claw priests to ratmen priests, from ratmen mercenaries to ratmen warriors, even rat wars are not immune.

The benefits are so huge that all the ratmen are ready to fight. The upcoming brutal war has been completely overshadowed by their greed for blood mushrooms.

The impacts are both good and bad.

This war will become even more brutal because of greed and madness. Because of greed, it seems that what we are facing is not a brutal war, nor a fight with a powerful enemy. Even cowardice is suppressed by the numbers jumping in our minds.

One wolf orc and three hundred blood mushrooms.

Three hundred blood mushrooms, three hundred blood mushrooms, three hundred blood mushrooms!
All the rats who were about to participate in the war were becoming more or less impatient at this moment, eagerly waiting for the appearance of the black dragon flag.

Eagerly looking forward to the war that will break out soon.

However, no matter how much they were looking forward to it, they still had to wait for the appearance of the black dragon flag and for Shu Zhan to finish his words.

But the black dragon flag did not appear yet.

Shu Zhan is pursuing his own interests at this time.

He invited the gathered rat caravans to come before him one by one, and proposed a brand new way of playing.

Bidding.

If you want to be the first to purchase the spoils, then you have to bid. The caravan that produces the most blood mushrooms will be allowed to follow the rat army and have the qualification to purchase the spoils as soon as the war ends.

Shu Zhan took away the rights that the rat caravans had always possessed and placed them in his own hands. Before this, these rat caravans had never been prohibited from following the rat army.

But at this time, it was taken down and placed in front of the big-clawed priests who presided over the caravans. No standard price was given, and the highest bidder won.

This was blatant robbery, but Shu Zhan looked calm and composed, even though these guys in front of him controlled the logistical lifeline of his army.

The huge ratman army relies on waves of ratman caravans to maintain its logistics.

He doesn't care. If he is pushed to the limit, the worst that can happen is that he will let those good-for-nothings under his command run around for logistics. But those rat lords will just starve to death without him.

He is confident and does not need to rely on these rat caravans, but these rat caravans must rely on him.

These despicable food-stealing rats are going to have to vomit something one way or another!
