From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 255: Embarrassed Humans
The rats began to attack the city walls. Rats from other directions had also begun to attack the city walls. The surge of rats was not limited to this direction. Under the order of the manic commander, the siege that had just ended was started again by the rats.

In addition to the main gate of the city where the fortress was raised, the city defenders still opened up a road leading to the simple fortress.

The fortress built in front of the city gate was just an attempt, but it attracted an extremely fierce response from the rats.

Obviously, in this situation, we have reached the point of choice: whether to continue building this crude fortress or to stop the loss in time.

In the face of the rat man's fierce response, a decision must be made quickly.

That's a problem for the stargazing pope.

He has been observing the situation on the field.

The city defenders, holding up their shields, struggled to hold off the incoming waves of ratmen warriors, and the accompanying mages on the fortress relaxed their suppression of the ratmen.

The lucky guy was pulled into the surging tide of rats in front of him and suddenly became silent.

The earth was once again changed by the mottled magical light. A low mound was raised, and with it was an equally low wall. The ratmen warriors who had originally surrounded the city guards seemed a little at a loss when faced with such changes.

Fortunately, this spell does not focus on lethality, and the slowly changing ground can be easily avoided as long as one pays a little attention. However, not long after escaping, they were pushed over by the ratmen behind them again and faced such a low wall. Obviously, they did not want to climb these walls.

These military mages are really a big trouble, and so are these walls. Ordinary ratmen warriors suffered a lot against these walls.

They climbed upwards with great effort, but fortunately the city guards were not very familiar with the methods of the military mages. They were somewhat panicked in the face of this situation, which gave the ratmen warriors who were climbing up with great difficulty a chance.

The two sides fought on the earth wall, and then fled in unison under the boulders thrown by the huge catapult.

The Big Claw Priests began to calibrate the trajectory. This time they were no longer friendly killers. Perhaps it was because the mages accompanying the army were so focused on guiding the earth that they neglected to guard against the boulders.

The whistling boulders were like falling meteors, bombarding everything in the area indiscriminately, including the crude fortress and the rising earth slope in front of the city wall. There were no swollen ratmen involved, as the last siege had ended not long ago and the swollen ratmen had not had time to complete their breeding.

There is no shortage of ratmen in the Eastern Expeditionary Force, but after all, the cultivation of swollen ratmen cannot be separated from blood mushrooms. Even if they can be cultivated using only the inferior blood mushrooms, this is still the use of blood mushrooms.

Every time a swollen ratman is thrown out, it is equivalent to throwing a handful of inferior blood mushrooms onto the battlefield.

The swollen ratmen will not supply openly, which makes the effect of this round of attack much worse, but the thrown boulders alone also carry tremendous power. This is the purest attack.

Throw stones, throw huge stones.

The falling boulders easily destroyed the low wall rising from the mound. Faced with such a situation, the human defenders and the ratmen alike fled in a panic.

A huge rock that was incredibly accurate or perhaps ridiculously biased fell squarely on the top of the simple fortress. At that time, a large number of military mages gathered there. This huge rock really hit the target. A large number of mages were crushed into meat paste before they could even react in time. The situation was extremely tragic.

This time, the test started to change with this place as the node, and the human army coming out of Jilang City began to gradually lose the upper hand.

The battle between the Vatican Knights and the Brutal Knights has not yet been decided, the defenders in the simple fortress are gradually losing the upper hand, and the passage between the simple fortress and the city of Jilang is collapsing.

The falling boulders broke through the raised low walls and also broke down the formation of the human defenders gathered here. Although the ratmen were the same, the formation of the ratmen warriors had always been out of formation in this dark tide.

The situation was rapidly degenerating into chaos, and there was even a risk of ratmen pouring into the city. This attempt had failed. Even if the Pope of Stargazing wanted to persist, it was impossible for him to continue under such circumstances. He began to recall the troops outside the city. The army sent out this time was not worth mentioning compared to the size of the entire City of Surf. Even if the entire army was wiped out, it would not be a serious blow to this huge city.

There is just one problem.

Even the Stargazing Pope, who now dominates the situation in Stirling City, is unable to mobilize all the forces gathered in Stirling City. He can't do it, and it's not possible. Stirling City not only has the stationed troops, the nobles' mansions, shops, workshops, and magic academies, but also the large number of residents.

These all require strength to protect.

The situation outside the city was in complete chaos. After the order to withdraw was given, the soldiers in the simple fortress no longer insisted and began to retreat in a panic. At the beginning, the retreat was still somewhat orderly, but the rats were biting too hard.

The rats noticed the heretics' attempts to retreat, which they viewed as a sign of weakness, making them even more agitated and dangerous.

The ratmen warriors gradually became more excited and aggressive, and the two sides got entangled. The order was broken and the retreat process began to become chaotic.

From order, to chaos, and finally to fear and desperation, these human soldiers began to drop their weapons and flee for their lives, and the battle line officially began to collapse.

They still had mottled magical auras on their bodies, and all kinds of buff magic were still effective on them, but in this situation, these magics obviously could no longer give them courage.

The magic knights mixed in the team responded to this situation and began to shout loudly, but when the rout began to spread from a single soldier to the entire team, it was already difficult to save the situation.

The magic knights who were submerged by the dark tide had to face the incoming gray-black tide alone. They waved their swords vigorously and easily cut the ratmen in half, but they could not change anything.

There were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and more and more ratmen around him. These guys who were easily killed no longer brought fear to the ratmen. On the contrary, the pervasive smell of blood was making these guys more and more excited and more and more manic.

A cowardly guy won't make people afraid.

Excitement, desire, and eagerness to try were all clearly shown on the faces of the gathered rat men.

The anger on the faces of the magic knights began to fade, and in such a peeping, unreasonable fear began to rise in their hearts.

It turned out that in such a situation, in this black tide, there would not be much difference between them who had lost their army and those cowardly guards.

In a very short period of time, human soldiers began to die in large numbers, and even the magic knights were no exception. The casualties in this very short period of time far exceeded the total number of soldiers lost in the previous battle, in a short period of time.

The heavy city gate began to close slowly with the dull sound of gears turning, leaving only a small gap. The Vatican knights no longer entangled with the Brutal Knights. In the purple light, they began to retreat and break away. A dying Brutal Knight let out a sharp and distorted hiss and threw the spear in his hand towards the leading knight among the Vatican knights.

The brutal knights proved their ferocity. Despite the gap in all aspects, they fought with the Vatican knights in front of them with an almost resolute attitude and did not lose the upper hand.

But they were unable to stop these Vatican knights who wanted to leave.

In the converging purple light, the Vatican Knights were about to leave the battle and start to turn back. At this moment, a spear streaked across the sky.

Perhaps because of the gathering purple light, or perhaps because he was tired from the battle, the leading knight did not notice the spear that streaked across the sky.

The spear deviated a little and missed the leading Vatican knight. In fact, even if it had hit him, it would hardly have caused much damage and would probably have been slipped away by the armor engraved with patterns. However, this spear carried the last hope of a dying dazed guy.

Unwilling to give up, he looked at the deviated spear, but he didn't even have the strength to roar again. The black armor on his chest was dented and blood kept flowing out of his mouth.

The ratmen's forging technology is indeed not outdated. Even when facing this corrupt empire that has embraced civilization for who knows how many years, the armor of the brutal knights is still so hard.

Such a pursuit was only achieved in a very short period of time. Going back a few years, the ratmen who built a twisted and morbid huge empire were still a group of guys running for their lives being chased by the lizardmen.

But it's still too simple.

The power of magic brought a huge boost to the Vatican Knights. Under that powerful force, the casually swung swords were unbearable, and the heavy armor was dented by the blows.

The ferocious knight fell to the ground with a hideous face.

The Vatican knights began to move away, running wildly in this endless gray-black tide.

The ratmen along the way were trampled without hesitation. The chaotic situation in front of the city gate was reversed after these knights rushed in. The madly surging ratmen warriors began to flee in panic. The magic knights breathed a sigh of relief, but were unwilling to accept the favor of these knights of the Vatican.

But I wanted to hold my head high in front of these guys like I used to, but the current embarrassing situation does not allow that, and I feel a little at a loss as to what to do.

The human troops in front of the city gate all breathed a sigh of relief. This group of Vatican knights was their last dignity.

The angry Rat Warriors began waving flags, and the Rat Supervisory Team began to advance forward. However, there were too many rats gathered here. Even though the Rat Supervisory Team had begun to press forward, they were unable to immediately reach the rat warriors gathered in front of the city gate.

The human side retreated back to the city in a mess.
