From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 211: The Claws' Riot

The first batch of 200,000 troops has arrived, marching out from the Desolate Mountains, along with a number of crazy war machines. Sheng Qi used the huge catapult that everyone had been talking about.

The huge ratman army can also rush to the battlefield through the opened underground passages, but these war machines can only be transported on the ground.

Later, more troops, more equipment, larger supplies, and a large number of blood mushrooms, rat priests, senior rat priests, big claw priests, slave rats, anything that could be helpful to this war was being sent to the battlefield frantically.

The temple guards are much more majestic than the rat lords. This towering fortress is built according to the highest standards. The above-ground part alone is comparable to the central city built by the boar people in the lush forest, not to mention the underground part.

After this lesson, the temple guards began to collect the temples of the gods. No longer every city was qualified to build the temple of the great gods.

This decision is still being implemented, but the temple guards no longer allow the ratmen cities on the grassland that have only built a foundation to place sacred pillars and dig blood pools.

From now on, there will probably be only one city in an area that is qualified to worship the great god.

This measure is very strict.

There was no space reserved for the temple of the gods in the new fortress city built by the temple guards.

The fortress city has not been completely built yet, but no one has any doubts about the construction of this city. The temple guards wandering here have made up the number of 10,000. These 10,000 temple guards can serve as a high wall by themselves.

Unless the grassland coalition forces entangled in the rat war desperately mobilize their main forces to attack the temple guards stationed here, this line of defense will never collapse.

But the leaders, kings and heroes of various races in the grassland coalition would not be so stupid. The elongated battle line would only give Rat Zhan an opportunity. Although Rat Zhan was firmly suppressed, he was not completely defeated. If they turned their offensive line around, Rat Zhan would lead his army out of the scarlet pit without hesitation.

The price to pay for this is too high.

The war will still be decided by the confrontation between the huge conventional army in Shuzhan's hands and the huge coalition forces composed of various races on the grassland.

The temple guards are indeed powerful, but they do not obey Rat Zhan's orders. Without Rat Zhan's support, or in other words, without the cover of a large-scale conventional army, they cannot become the absolute protagonists of a large-scale battle. They are indeed powerful, but they cannot support a battle of an extremely large scale. Because of their small numbers, if the number of enemies they face doubles, the pressure they will face will be more than doubled compared to before.

Even heroes will suffer in the face of the endless war, and the temple guards are just backup heroes.

This is why Rat Zhan, who has a huge number of ratmen warriors under his command, is not afraid of the temple guards.

If the temple guards were willing to obey Rat Zhan's orders and serve as the sharpest spearhead in large-scale battles, the threat they would pose to the enemy would be terrifying.

It’s a pity that such a scene is unlikely to happen, as the temple guards will not obey Shu Zhan’s orders.

The relationship between them is not good.

The temple guards gathered to protect almost all the temples of the gods, but there was one guy who blatantly trampled on this principle.

It was nothing that Shu Zhan would build the temple of God in the place where he had been paused for a long time. After all, the temple guards had not imposed too strict control on the construction of the temple before. But the bad thing about Shu Zhan was that he never consulted with the temple guards when building the temple, and even prevented the temple guards from moving in after the construction was completed.

Often only after he leaves the area can the temple guards move in and take over the mess left behind by the Rat War.

In addition, this guy was the first to set a precedent for open-air temples, the first to build a temple of gods outside the city, and the first to build a temple at the bottom of a deep pit and make it open-air.

There has been a long-standing grudge between the two sides, but the temple guards really can't do anything to Shu Zhan. As a powerful hero, Shu Zhan is not afraid of being beheaded. As the commander-in-chief of the rat warlords, the army under Shu Zhan's command is also extremely large.

Unless they gather together all the temple guards scattered throughout the Ratman Kingdom, they can have a real battle with the Ratmen.

But the most essential duty of the temple guards is still to protect the temple of the great gods.

In such a feud, it is unlikely that the two sides will join hands, and Shuzhan has lost the qualification to wield the sharpest spear in the Ratman Kingdom.

It's bizarre, since this guy was also a temple guard.

Under the protection of the temple guards, the most important transit station on the ground part of the battlefield gradually fell.

During this period, the grassland coalition forces were naturally unwilling to let it go, but the few troops that arrived were torn to pieces by the temple guards. After several attempts, gradually no troops came to harass them.

The temple guards indirectly shared some of the pressure with Shu Zhan, who had a very hard time during that period. In the brutal war, the chaotic and huge grassland coalition finally became more coordinated.

But this was a fatal blow to Shu Zhan, and he was almost crushed to death.

Ratmen continued to pour out of the underground tunnels, and supplies were never in short supply despite the tragic casualties, but the flaws of the hastily dug tunnels were gradually exposed.

The number of reinforcements could no longer keep up with the daily consumption in the battles. Although the front line would not collapse instantly and could still be held up, they would inevitably have to fight desperately.

Even though the rats were used to death, as the corpses piled up, the diffuse pale ashes would dye everything in front of them white every morning, and then everything would be dyed scarlet again at dark.

Death, death, death. The morale of the ratmen army trapped in the Scarlet Pit is constantly falling, in order to maintain this tragic war.

Shu Zhan was throwing blood mushrooms endlessly. Only when the blood mushrooms fell could the morale be boosted and the war could be sustained. In this tense situation, Shu Zhan didn't even have time to care about the news that the white rat had arrived on the vast grassland.

He passed on messages more than once, asking for blood mushrooms from all parties, including but not limited to the Ratman Council, temple guards, ratman lords, and even those senior ratman priests whom he hated the most.

Well, there is no difference between speaking to the Rat Lord and speaking to the senior Rat Priest.

In short, except for not asking Bai Shu directly, Shu Zhan almost asked for it from all sides. This arrogant guy was also furious.

It was not until the arrival of the temple guards and the establishment of the hub city that the situation on the battlefield gradually improved.

It gave Shuzhan a chance to catch his breath.

But this is not good news. After a brief period of calm, there will be an even more brutal war.

The ratmen's support has arrived. After traveling a long distance, the support mobilized from the barren mountains and lush forests is gradually gathering in the city where the temple guards are wandering.

When the power here gathers to a certain level, they will try to launch an attack on the battlefield and join forces with the besieged Eastern Expeditionary Force and the Rat War.

The same is true for the grassland coalition.

During the long stalemate, the next wave of support was about to arrive. The gods of the grassland were forcing Du Yuan, but Du Yuan was also forcing the gods of the grassland.

The hatred between the two sides can no longer be eliminated. The more powerful Du Yuan is, the more he deserves to die. The original reservations and vigilance against other grassland gods are being put aside, and all the strength is being mobilized.

It takes a strong enemy to forge a true alliance.

No matter where the Grassland Alliance will go after Du Yuan's death, let's wait and see. Under the pressure from Du Yuan, these guys really started to get angry.

A true all-out war is about to begin.

They don't know that such actions are destroying themselves.

Death, killing, blood, war, all of these will become Du Yuan's ladder, and will also become noose around the necks of these grassland gods.

They don't know, and perhaps only when they leave the stage in disgrace will they suddenly realize that the rope that hanged them was actually handed over by themselves.

………….

In the Desolate Mountains, the white rats have not returned yet.

But a guy who had been silent for a long time suddenly became agitated. Long Claws was not a brave guy, but he was very decisive.

Cowardly yet decisive, a peculiarly complex character.

There are things in the Ratman Kingdom that contain divine power. There are actually quite a few of them.

The sacred pillars and altars in the underground rat city temple, the rat-war spears displayed in the underground rat city temple, and the corpses of saints displayed in the underground rat city temple.

These things are all entwined with the strong power of God. Needless to say, the God pillars and God altars shine brightly and dazzlingly. The spear that was taken away from Shu Zhan is not simple either. It is said that if you hold it, the God will answer your two prayers.

The simplest sacred object in the underground Rat City temple is the corpse of a saint bowing to the gods.

Any of these things meets the requirements of long claws, but there is a problem: how to obtain them.

The consequences of trying to get hold of these things will not be particularly good.

The temple guards have invested their most core and powerful strength in this temple.

But Long Claws was in desperate need of materials, he wanted to touch the power of the great god, he wanted to conduct his own research, and he was only one step away from completing his research.

I thought of a place.

There is not only the Underground Rat City in the Desolate Mountains, there is another city that also inherits the glory of the gods, even though that city and the temple of the gods in it have fallen into silence.

But there is still a trace of the former glory left.

The opportunity for the white rat to leave the barren mountains was rare, and the impatient Long Claws chose to make the extremely risky attempt.
