From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 19, Rat Priest

The ratmen pouring down from the mountains crashed into the Lizardman camp.

In an instant, the ratmen came like a tide and completely submerged the entire camp.

In the dim night and chaos, the two sides began a crazy fight.

The lizardmen warriors with sturdy scales grabbed the spears and wooden shields beside them in panic and collided with the ratmen who were holding various stones and sharp stone chips as weapons.

From time to time, ratmen with stones in their tails would suddenly jump out from the ratmen and attack the few areas on the lizardmen's bodies that were not covered with hard scales.

Among all the holes, big and small, the one at the end of the tail is the most cared for.

The rats didn't have any proper weapons, and stones would easily break when they hit the lizardmen's hard scales, but those tail-wielding rats who specialized in attacking holes still caused great casualties to the lizardmen.

From time to time, lizardmen fell down with pig-killing howls, and then were rushed by the surrounding ratmen and beaten to death with the stones in their hands.

In this attack, the ratmen's performance was very different from before. Even though they were constantly being killed, there was no sign of them fleeing.

The lizardman leader found the reason. Next to a ratman standing on a boulder with a sharp spear in his hand, several ratmen holding wooden sticks were constantly making sharp and strange roars.

Amid the roar, the eyes of the rushing ratmen turned red. The lizardman leader casually hit a tail-carrying ratman who wanted to attack him from behind with a stick, and the bloodshot in the fallen ratman's eyes was clearly visible. Even though he was dying, he was still roaring wildly.

It was like a mindless and violent beast.

They are priests. Those ratmen holding wooden sticks are priests. But why are there so many of them? Even in their powerful forest tribe, there are only a few such priests. The lizardman leader did not understand, but as an experienced leader, he grasped the key point at once.

At his call, many taller and stronger Lizardman warriors rushed out from the crazy rat swarm. He took the first step, and those tall and strong Lizardman warriors followed him and charged towards the location where the ratman priests gathered not far away.

The spear rat saw the lizardman warrior rushing towards him.

He is not a qualified believer, and his level of faith has only been barely maintained above the bottom line of a standard believer. He can even easily fall to the level of a shallow believer.

So he was not too enthusiastic about the so-called oracle, but he was undoubtedly one of the few smart people among the rat people who could see the situation clearly.

If he lets these lizardmen destroy the altar, he won't have a good life.

Amid sharp shouts, a group of ratmen with spears and wooden shields in their hands and sharp stone flakes wrapped around their tails surrounded them.

This is his personal guard, and also the team used by the spear rats to fight against the damn white rats. Each of these ratmen has eaten more blood mushrooms than ordinary ratmen and ordinary ratmen warriors.

The nourishment of the blood mushrooms made them stronger. Even under the strange spells of the huge group of charlatans under the White Rat, the Spear Rat's personal guards did not completely lose their minds.

They gathered together amid the shouts of the Spear Rat and faced head-on the Lizardman warriors who were charging along with the Lizardman leader.

The rat-man priests were completely unaware of all this, or rather, they didn't care at all.

They are Du Yuan's fanatical followers. In this chaotic battlefield, they continuously release the only priest spell they know, berserk spell, and gradually become crazy in the process.

"The great gods are watching us!"

"Long live the gods!"

"Kill them!" The magic card about the inheritance of the ratman priest is the most valuable one among the three magic cards, because it represents a complete set of inheritance.

I just don't know why, this magic card has some problems. Although Du Yuan is not sure whether it is a problem with the magic card or if there are some problems with the ratman's priest inheritance.

The ratman priests who successfully took office under Du Yuan knew only a few divine arts. They did not have the healing arts and eagle eye arts that were required of regular priests. They knew few divine arts that covered various aspects, or only knew one type.

There are only berserk techniques, various kinds of berserk techniques. White Rat, who has gone the furthest among the group of priests under Du Yuan, has now mastered three divine techniques.

Ratman berserk, mass berserk, killing aura, the first two are berserk, and the third one is also a disguised berserk.

Targets affected by the killing aura will cast aside their fear, and frantically attack everything in front of them with an uncontrollable desire to kill.

And these three can be superimposed on each other.

How to put it, this is not the priest that Du Yuan understands, but for the rat people, he is inexplicably suitable.

This surprise attack was supported by the overlapping group frenzy spells of these three ratman priests.

But it seems that berserk shouldn't have any effect on the ratman priest.

But why are they so crazy? Is it a racial characteristic? Du Yuan, who was watching the battle from high in the sky, thought so.

It cannot be said that this is a bad thing. In a short period of time, the piety of these three rat priests has increased rapidly.

The three of them became fanatical believers in no particular order.

Du Yuan didn't know what to say, so he paid a little attention, but it was just a little attention. The ratmen were changing too fast, and even if they became fanatics, it would be difficult for them to get Du Yuan's attention for a long time.
Among the slave rats, many of them will become Du Yuan’s fanatical followers before dying of exhaustion.

But this did not prevent them from dying and being thrown into the lake of blood soon after.

However, many slave rats became priests in their fanatical beliefs.

The lives of these rats are particularly short, and their attitudes towards faith are particularly divided. Some are as cunning as the spear rats and are always unwilling to give up their faith, while others are able to sacrifice their lives in fanaticism.

This battle cannot be won.

Du Yuan made such a judgment.

There were still not enough rats gathered, and there were still too few ratmen warriors, so there was no way to truly swallow up this lizardman army. However, it was not a big problem, and the progress on the other side was very smooth.

In the camp, the Spear Rat's guards delayed the attack of the Lizardman warriors in a crazy attack, but the Spear Rat failed to delay the attack of the Lizardman leader.

The spear rat that swallowed a large amount of blood mushrooms has become quite powerful. Although the ratmen are not strong, the spear rat that swallowed a large amount of blood mushrooms and has the potential to become a hero is by no means weak.

However, the spear rats were losing the battle with the lizardman leader.

A blood-red pattern spread across the body of the lizardman leader.
