From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 205: Groundhog Man

Sheng Qi still sneers at these guys' fanatical pursuit of the so-called mineral spirit.

If messing with those broken stones could make the great gods bestow blessings, then why would they all run to the depths of the grassland to fight a bloody battle with the heretic coalition?

Everyone had gone to dig stones a long time ago.

However, although he sneered, Sheng Qi still did not stop these guys' actions. After all, those powerful war machines still depended on these guys.

Moreover, tolerating them to deal with this broken thing can gain their loyalty. Even if they are discovered by the temple guards and come to him, he can just say he doesn't know and push these weird big-clawed priests to take the blame.

It's no loss anyway, so Sheng Qi naturally turned a blind eye.

In fact, this temple does not excessively violate the taboos of the ratmen. After all, no matter how weird the mineral spirit worshipped by these guys is, they are still prostrating themselves under the true great god.

This mineral spirit is not a real god, but an abstract interpretation of the oracle of the great god. This situation is very common.

From the rat statues made by the rat saints to the vague patterns drawn with blood in the corners of the rat city, they are all worshipping the great gods, but the great gods they worship are all a little different.

However, these things are not recognized.

The so-called spirit of ore is also such a thing.

Sheng Qi did not take it too seriously, and with his connivance, a strange temple enshrining giant gears was built.

In exchange for the loyalty and hard work of these guys, this secret city relying on the sacred oak tree is rapidly improving.

This will be the bargaining chip and foundation belonging to Shengqi.

Of course, there are risks.

There is a great risk involved, because this pool of blood was left to him by the temple guards.

A city that is temporarily unrecorded can certainly avoid the arrival of the Skaven Lords and the appointment of the Skaven Council, but it also represents a problem.

The temple guards can also take it back at any time. With a simple record and report, the so-called secret of the city of Shengqi will be just a joke.

But Sheng Qi still did it because of the current situation in the Ratman Kingdom. He bet that even if he had a falling out with the temple guards and the matter was reported to the Ratman Parliament, they would not pay attention to it for the time being.

What's more, these temple guards are not in a hurry, at least not as anxious as those senior ratman priests.

A part of the army and most of the Big Claw Priests were left behind to build the city.

Sheng Qi began to prepare the army, and he would lead the Western Expeditionary Force to continue moving forward.

After being cheated by those damned rat-man priests once, Sheng Qi certainly would not let everything fall on those temple guards.

It's not that there is no solution. At least now, he has the confidence to support a war alone.

No need to feel helpless anymore as even the sacrificial offerings have to be sold together.

What if he could also get the attention of God?

God-given Sheng Qi, a good name.

Turning his sight to the end of the rolling hills, Sheng Qi felt a little more expectant.

………….

Faced with this tense situation, a meeting was held within the Western Expeditionary Force, and leaders and kings of all races gathered together.

The casualties in the past few days were far from being unacceptable to them, or in other words, they were not yet to a level that was difficult for the powerful races to accept, because most of the cannon fodder pushed to the front line to die were warriors from weak races.

Rabbit people, fox people, dog people, these weak races with strong reproductive capacity, scattered like weeds across the grassland, were pushed onto the battlefield as vanguards.

Their leader also sat at the end of the meeting with a sad face. There was even an extra seat. The leader of a group of rabbit people died in the brutal war yesterday. His flag was taken away, leading to the birth of a ratman warlord.

The discussions were not smooth, as there were too many voices within the coalition. But they did not end up in a bad mood because of the existence of the gods.

Finally, a plan was put forward. The huge grassland coalition army was divided into two parts. The main force continued to besiege the large rat army that was stopped here, while the separated army was to cross the deep pit dug by the rats and launch an attack on the rats' rear.

The wolf orcs shared their knowledge and intelligence about the ratmen, and the underground tunnels were also discovered by the grassland coalition forces.

The grassland coalition forces began to look for the underground tunnel connected to the deep pit. They had some clues, but there was one problem.

None of the powerful races in the grassland coalition had the talent to fight in the narrow underground tunnels.

Even if the underground tunnels dug by the rats were discovered, who would cut them off?

This is a problem. The powerful race sitting in the front row of the meeting kept looking back until it landed on the two anxious guys.

There are only two groups of people in the grassland coalition who are proficient in underground warfare.

One group is the Rabbit People, who have the habit of digging holes.

As for the other group, it was a little more interesting, because this was also a group of ratmen. Being stared at by the leaders and kings of many powerful races with inexplicable eyes, a ratman felt a little uneasy and tried hard to shrink his body behind him, but where could he hide in this narrow conference room?

There are also ratmen on this grassland. It is not surprising, as ratmen have strong adaptability.

Moreover, this group of ratmen have some special features compared to normal ratmen, such as larger and sharper teeth, fatter and taller bodies. Compared to ratmen, there is a more appropriate name for them.

Groundhog.

They are a bit stronger than ordinary ratmen, but they are still ratmen after all. The apprentice god who chose this group of guys as his followers must be an unlucky guy who failed to anchor several times in a row.

But he is not powerful. He is not as strong as Du Yuan, and the marmot people under his command are far less powerful than the rat people under Du Yuan.

Although it is somewhat embarrassing that even though Du Yuan's Ratman Kingdom has gradually expanded to the point where it can fight against the powerful coalition formed by various tribes on the grassland, in terms of individual strength, an ordinary Ratman warrior probably cannot beat an ordinary Marmot warrior.

However, in terms of overall strength, this group of groundhogs cannot even match a fraction of the Ratman Kingdom.

Relying on their own weakness and habit of hiding underground, this group of guys and the apprentice gods who anchored them have survived until now, and then they were discovered by the gods of the grassland.

Of course, fair confrontation is the main part of war, but occasionally some strange tactics will also be used.

The war continues.

The real main body of the grassland coalition, the armies of those powerful races, began to set foot on the battlefield.

A large group of Centaur cavalry broke away from the grassland coalition and rushed towards the rear of the ratmen.

At the same time, the underground tunnel built by the rats was also dug out.

Simple landfill cannot effectively block the underground tunnels dug by the ratmen. For the ratmen, it is just a matter of detouring the underground tunnels.

The Big Claw Priests have superb skills. After all, their main business is digging holes and opening tunnels. Even if you keep a close eye on these underground tunnels and even use special means to eavesdrop, this will only make the rats dig deeper and deeper and more and more complicated underground tunnels.

The half-elves had taken precautions against the ratmen's digging, and the result was the intricate underground network that still remains at the roots of the sacred oak.

As for those who personally go underground to fight these rats, their warriors are equally elite.

But in the battle in the underground network, the half-elves were defeated.

In order to completely defeat the Eastern Expeditionary Force led by Shu Zhan, the Grassland Coalition gave two directions: one was to continue the attack, and the other was to cut off the rear.

When cities are swallowed up one after another and the rear is in ruins, can the rats still provide continuous reinforcements to this battlefield?

At the same time, the rabbit people were driven into the underground tunnel to fight the rat people, and they did not expect that this group of weak rabbit people could cut off the rat people's underground tunnel.

To cover up another matter.

The rabbit people who were driven into the underground tunnels were confronted by a group of young rat people in fear. There was a brief commotion, and the two sides stared at each other. The big-clawed priest did not expect to encounter such a scene.

The two sides stared at each other.

Until this group of young ratmen gradually realized a problem. The group of guys on the opposite side seemed to be very frightened. They seemed to be afraid of them.

Gradually, there was some commotion.

Rat people are indeed cowardly, but they are cowardly only when facing those who are far more powerful than them, and rabbit people are not among them.

The young rats took the initiative to attack the group of rabbit people. The two sides fought each other. The young rats confirmed their guess that these were a group of cowardly guys, and they excitedly began to kill brutally.

This group of rabbit warriors should not be so embarrassed, at least they should not be so embarrassed when facing the young rat man. They are just too nervous and frightened.

The battle ended quickly.

The young rats excitedly started to plunder the spoils, but were whipped by the Big Claw Priest, who drove them to move on.

In a panic, a young rat man bumped into a tall and strong figure.

After getting up again, he was a little more angry and waved his arms, but he saw a tall figure.

The movement paused.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Why is this guy so tall?

The anger on his face disappeared unconsciously, and he squeezed out a trace of flattery. The whip of the Big Claw Priest behind him came down and hit the young rat man with a flattering expression. A painful howl sounded, and he ran into the large army not far away and disappeared.

The Big Claw Priest's gaze turned to the tall rat man that was blocking the way.

The tall rat man's body became a little stiffer, and he even began to tremble. The big-clawed priest did not pay attention to the abnormality shown by the tall rat man, and became a little confused.

Did I bring such a tall young rat man?
A doubt arises.
