From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 248, War!
Shu Zhan received the gift from a distant place. The three abandoned scales of gods were held in Shu Zhan's hands, but he didn't even take a second look at them. Instead, the mother Shu Zhan, the skinning giant rat, paid more attention to them and threw the three scales aside like garbage.

If Long Claws saw this scene, he would go crazy again.

The things that you want but cannot get are thrown away by others like garbage.

Well, it may also be that Shu Zhan did not understand what this thing was. After all, there is no mistake about this point. This abandoned scale of God can indeed bring real power, and Shu Zhan will not reject the power that can be held in his own hands.

It’s just that this guy is too arrogant and has no interest in even exploring the things in his hands.

Instead, his sight paused on the guys that arrived behind the ratman priest, and on the rather tall and giant deformed ratman.

When the rat priest left the camp again, he was the only one left in his team without anyone to support him. In contrast, the rat war had some unexpected gains.

The ratman priest had a gloomy expression. Shu Zhan did not give him face, and correspondingly, he would definitely not give Shu Zhan face again. This was how Shu Zhan got his reputation of being hated by everyone. The production of those giant ratmen was also controlled by the ratman priests.

The giant deformed ratman's journey to the battlefield had some more twists and turns. Perhaps this was a good thing. For those gentle giant ratmen, no one would like to be born to be a horrible deformed monster. However, what would happen in the future was not up to them.

They have no choice about what kind of person they want to be.

………….

The rats have completely wiped out the area outside the city of Surf. All the manors, wheat fields, villages, fortresses, and castles, big and small, have been destroyed.

The sneaky people surging in the darkness all set their eyes on the towering city, just waiting for a shout, just waiting for an order.

Rat Zhan climbed to a high place, and under the waving black dragon flag, eight flags echoed with each other. Countless ratmen emerged from the darkness, hunched over, roaring sharply, charging, charging, charging, gathering into a tide, like a tsunami. For the first time, the ratmen began to surge on a large scale towards the majestic city in front of them.

Whether they were ready or not, the rats were coming.

The first wave of attack broke out suddenly. The defenders on the city wall hurriedly opened the city gate. In order to deal with the towering city wall, Rat War also brought some good things.

The traces of the huge war machines appeared in the darkness. Amid the terrifying whistling sounds, extremely swollen ratmen were thrown indiscriminately into the city. Amid the wailing, they turned into mottled scarlet balls.

The group of ratmen warriors in the front row were running wildly on the ground carrying long ladders.

However, the first wave of spell attacks arrived very quickly. The mages accompanying the army took action, and a round of falling fireballs shattered the ratman line at the front line.

The ratmen warriors who were originally running wildly with excitement suddenly had panic on their faces, but before they could flee in all directions, they were pushed forward again by their companions behind them.

A large amount of bright light was shone into the sky and turned into stars that stayed for a short time, dispelling the darkness around the city and illuminating the endless ratmen. The ratmen were somewhat uncomfortable with the sudden rise of light.

The charging posture was paused.

Countless ratmen warriors stopped and subconsciously used their hands to block the rising light. This action made the scene in front of them even more shocking. The closed eyes would always open again. Under the bright light, the paused ratmen, countless ratmen, ratmen with various expressions, pairs of scarlet eyes, raised their heads and all looked towards the defenders on the city wall.

This was a terrifying scene, but also a short one. The Ratman Supervisory Corps had already begun to advance forward. The panicked avoidance of the Supervisory Corps caused the dark tide to surge again, slamming heavily into the towering city walls in front of them.

The roar of war machines, the crossbow arrows shooting towards the ratmen climbing the city walls, the falling rocks, and the terrifying fireballs that kept falling.

This was just a tentative attack, but the Rat War was exceptionally large-scale, and at his words all the ratmen in the area rushed towards this huge city, turning into this dark tide.

From every angle and from all directions, they attacked the huge and majestic city in front of them without leaving out a single detail.

The foundation of this city is indeed good, and the towering city walls are exceptionally solid. Even though the huge stones thrown by the giant catapults are large and heavy enough, they still seem a little inadequate when facing the towering city walls.

A huge falling rock could only leave a shallow pit on the towering city wall. Unless several huge rocks fall together and hit the same place, it might cause the city wall to loosen.

However, once such a situation occurred, the military mages would immediately rush to the loose section of the city wall regardless of the danger. After a few spells, the loose area would be restored to its original state.

The mages of the Ghost Eye people are not good at those terrifying spells with extremely high destructive power, but the spells related to daily life are also quite difficult to deal with, such as repairing city walls, guiding arrows, boosting morale, lighting, gale magic, grease magic, shining as new, armor repair, and treatment.

These messy spells covered too many aspects. Although their mages were often not omnipotent and were only good at spells in one or two directions, the number of mages joining the battlefield was simply too large.

These messy spells caused great trouble to the ratmen's attack. Compared with the mages of the Ghost-Eyed People, the spell level of the ratmen priests was just like that of a group of primitive people.

But this war was still not easy for them to deal with.

The huge stones thrown by the giant catapults did not cause any damage to the city walls, but the falling stones were still a huge threat to the defenders on the city walls. Even the magic knights wearing high-quality enchanted armor would die on the spot if hit by such huge stones, let alone the ordinary defenders.

However, what the ratmen threw were far more than just these huge boulders. The real threat was the swollen ratmen. If those swollen ratmen were allowed to fall on the city walls, the sudden outbreak of pollution would be able to clear out a large area in an instant, and all the contaminated creatures would turn into a mass of wriggling flesh and blood amid wailing.

The military mages on the city wall began to shout at the wind continuously, and the whistling boulders and swollen ratmen began to deviate from their direction under the combined efforts of these military mages. Only a slight deviation resulted in very different consequences.

Many boulders and swollen ratmen smashed into the tide of ratmen that kept pouring in front of the city wall. Facts have proved that these boulders and swollen ratmen have the same superb attack effect on ratmen warriors. Being hit by a boulder will not cause much pain, just turning into rat cakes in an instant, but if you are affected by the blood and flesh splashed by the swollen ratmen, it will be a big problem.

Fleeing wailing, these ratmen warriors obviously did not understand what it meant to be considerate of their companions. They instinctively headed towards the direction where there were the most ratmen around them, selflessly bringing pollution to other ratmen while struggling while wailing.

In this crowded formation, the effect is maximized.

But this did not stop the huge catapults from firing, as the catapults themselves were low-quality consumables.

During another round of trebuchets, a sharp noise was heard from a huge catapult. At this moment, the big-clawed priest who was operating the huge catapult had visible fear on his face, but it was obviously too late to escape. The huge catapult that disintegrated suddenly triggered a horrific chain reaction.

Some piled up swollen ratmen were also detonated together. However, in the face of such a situation, the order was still maintained amid the wailing of those big claw priests, and soon the huge catapult was put into operation again.

The ratmen warriors put up siege ladders on the city walls.

The energy of the accompanying mages was diverted by the constantly falling boulders and swollen ratmen, making it no longer so difficult for them to climb the city wall.

It was not an easy task to dodge the objects that were pushed off the city wall, avoid the constantly falling crossbow arrows, oil bottles, and rolling logs, and successfully climb up the city wall in front of him before the long ladder was cut off and pushed down by the defenders on it.

But after being pushed to the front of the city wall by the ratmen behind him, he had no choice but to do this. If he climbed up the long ladder towards the city wall, he might still have a chance to survive. If he stopped at the foot of the city wall, he would only be able to face all kinds of things falling from afar, praying that he would survive those indiscriminate attacks, and also be careful of the increasing number of ratmen gathering over and stepping on him.

Countless ratmen warriors climbed up the ladders, and the fallen ladders were constantly being propped up again. The experienced guys would hang their weapons on their tails behind them and raise their shields high, while the inexperienced and excited guys who were stepping onto the battlefield for the first time were even more reckless.

But no matter whether you have experience or not, whether you can survive in this cruel battlefield is a question that is difficult to answer.

A single ratman is too small.

The defenders of Jilang City quickly felt the pressure. In every direction and on every section of the city wall, there were ratmen climbing up. The rats had been forced to get used to this cruel war and to facing death, but the city guards who had not faced war for a long time were obviously not used to this situation.

There was still plenty of supplies on the city walls, and with the support of the army's mages, the terrifying boulders and those horrific creations no longer fell from the sky.

But they still couldn't relax even a breath. These damn ratmen, these damn ratmen kept climbing. They couldn't relax at all. They couldn't relax at all.

If he was any slower, these damn guys would rush up the city wall. He didn't want to face these ratmen, these dangerous ratmen.

He is just an ordinary guy, he has a son and a daughter waiting for him in the city.

Not far away, a ratman who rushed onto the city wall killed a guard with a sharp scream. He knew him. He was also a guard in this city. They had had a few drinks in the tavern together. But now, he had turned into a corpse, lying coldly on the ground.

The noble knight wandering on the city wall discovered something was wrong here, and with just one step, the rushing ratman warrior was cut in half.

He hurriedly picked up a jar of heavy fire oil and subconsciously chose the most expensive item among these things. As long as he threw down the jar of oil and a torch, everything under this section of the city wall would be ignited by flames in an instant.

The ratmen's attack was too sudden. The humans who did not dare to step out of the city in the dark became very unclear about the situation. Also, because of the excessive concentration of ratmen, those areas were too dangerous, and any unusual movement would lead to an attack by the ratmen.

The Astronomical Pope replenished the garrison on the city wall to the greatest extent possible, and the accumulated supplies were also checked and replenished. At the same time, a large number of military mages were sent to the towering city wall, and noble knights were recruited. Even if the preparations were not sufficient and perfect, it should not be the case.

This was just a test of Rat War, and they were so flustered just to deal with such a test.

Clearly, the Stargazing Pope had overlooked one problem: he was indeed prepared, but these city guards who had been stationed on the city walls for a long time and regarded their position as a leisurely and respectable job were obviously not ready.

Not ready for this brutal war.

His expression became ferocious, and he hurried his steps. He threw the jar of flaming oil in front of him, but it hit a ratman warrior who had climbed up. The jar hit the shield that the ratman warrior raised above his head, and shattered in the collision. The dark and sticky flaming oil spilled and soaked the ratman warrior's body. He was furious, and with a sharp hiss, the ratman warrior directly grabbed the damn guy who was standing against the city wall in front of him.

Faced with these horrific ratmen, fear and confusion completely filled the guard's heart. Regardless of what he had just thrown out, he pulled out the torch placed on the city wall beside him and hit the ratmen in front of him hard. Terrifying flames rose up instantly.

The firelight illuminated the face of this ordinary guard, an ordinary middle-aged man with stubble and a look of fear on his face.

There was a sense of excitement in the flames.

But he forgot one thing, he himself seemed to be in the same range affected by the flames.

Two balls of fire fell from the city wall.

The screams were drowned out by the surging black tide.

The ratmen's attack continues.
