From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 281: The War Has Changed
Pausing in front of the river, in the darkness, I couldn't see the rolling waves, I could only hear the gurgling sound of the water.

In the distance, a light appeared. It was the patrol boat patrolling the river.

There was no time to wait. To be honest, Qi was not at ease with the flowing water in front of him. Perhaps the experience of swimming in that bitter salt lake was too profound. Even though the light was getting closer, he still did not make a decision.

The rat people around Qi did not urge him, and eyes of respect and admiration were cast on him, which was a rare state among rat people.

Or maybe it was because of the appearance of the ratmen gathering around the flag.

Different length of hands, alopecia areata, missing ears, missing fingers.

The flag continued the previous style, and he accepted many unqualified defective products.

These guys are waiting for the flag to make a decision.

The flag did not disappoint them.

He gritted his teeth and finally let out a loud roar on the shore.

"Great God's blessing!"

Behind him, the ratmen warriors responded excitedly.

He jumped up and jumped into the river in front of him. Of course, he was not unprepared. He was holding a thick log.

Even when crossing the river, this guy did not take off his armor.

The rats fell into the river in front of them one by one, causing quite a commotion. They were noticed by a patrol boat not far away. A bright red light was emitted into the sky, which was a warning signal.

The human soldiers on the patrol boat were facing a formidable enemy.

It's really true that what the rat people did was too horrifying.

If it weren't for the arrival of those royal knights, panic would have been the emotion that enveloped the area at this moment.

The rat people are different from the mountain people. Well, there seems to be no difference. The mountain people never avoid blood sacrifices.

But how should I put it? The mountain people were defeated one after another by the attacks of the ratmen.

The Skaven are a more formidable foe.

But in fact, there is no need to panic, because at this time, the leader of this army, the rat warlord who can be called a big shot, is holding the log tightly, rolling in the river with the water flow.

Well, while the temple guards were even able to hold the naga at bay in their armor, the physical fitness required to do so was horrific, and Flag was not capable of it.

Rolling around, rolling around in a panic, choking on water and drinking it.

He would definitely not be able to resist an attack at this time, so the patrol fleet was extremely cautious about the large number of ratmen rolling in the river.

The rats under the flag are chasing their boss, and a large group of rats are floating in this river.

More lights appeared in the distance, and more human warships were about to arrive at the battlefield.

In fact, they arrived pretty quickly.

In the dim light, these warships equipped with rams began to rampage on the river. The rats were unable to fight back, but they had no intention of engaging in a naval battle with the humans on this river.

The rolling log finally reached the shore in the bumps. The mud on the armor was washed away during the rolling process, revealing the bright silver armor. Qi vomited violently on the shore, pulled down his visor, and continuously vomited muddy water mixed with bile.

It was a really difficult process, but he finally made it through.

Stuffing a light red blood mushroom into his mouth, Qi suppressed the discomfort in his body, jumped onto a big rock by the river, and began to shout loudly.

Start making promises.

The number of ratmen around him was less than half of what it was when he crossed the river, but this was not the final number, because there were still a steady stream of ratmen climbing out of the river.

The human warships did not pursue them anymore, as fighting on land was not their forte.

Hovering over the great river as the backdrop.

These rat people were quite convinced by what Qi was shouting. After all, Qi had always given most of the things to them, which was the basis of trust.

"We are going to kill those heretics and we are going to hold a grand sacrifice.

To offer to the great God!

You can also offer it to the Great God.

This is my mercy, this is my gift!"

As he spoke, the ratmen gathered in front of the flag cheered loudly.

In fact, this journey may not be easy. After all, Qi was caught red-handed in the first step of the lightning attack on the rear of Lianyan Province.

But it was obvious that this guy would not retreat so easily.

The rats gathered enthusiastically under the flag and began to run wildly towards the unknown area before them.

The march of the flags began.

………….

In the nameless province, in the gullies, fierce fighting is going on, but the rat people are gradually falling into a weak position.

The Dark Eye people, in the coalition of nobles.

What turned the situation around was the disparity in weapons.

Some real elemental weapons were brought onto the battlefield.

It's not surprising. After all, among the many great nobles who formed the noble coalition, the magic academies served as the backing of the war.

The weapons that were carried onto the battlefield were crude prototypes.

Complex pipelines, huge volume, and diamond-shaped crystals are embedded in a bright silver structure. Every activation is like a ceremony, requiring a group of military mages to perform complex debugging.

These are all shortcomings, but there is one thing that cannot be ignored.

This thing, this elemental cannon, has a long range and is really powerful.

After the accumulation is complete, the terrifying riot elements will be constrained into a sphere and thrown out under the acceleration of the ritual.

Able to attack out of sight, the unrestrained riot elements can completely cover a small hill, and the terrifying shock can effectively destroy tunnels and underground tunnels.

Faced with this kind of thing, the rats seemed helpless.

It is obvious that the current war is no longer something that the rat warlords and Shu Zhan alone can handle.

After being hit by a bullet and nearly buried alive by a collapsed tunnel, Rat War began to seek help from the Rat Priests.

The Eastern Expeditionary Force now needs a little help from magical power.

The terrifying catapults of the Big Claw Priests are already outdated. Although the Big Claw Priests are very reluctant to accept this, this is indeed the case. When facing the magic cannons of the Ghost Eye Human Race, these huge catapults are like some useless toys.

This makes them very frustrated.

But they soon discovered that there was more to their frustration than just this. The moment the Terror Trebuchet fell behind did not mean that they could leave the battlefield. In fact, every part of the battlefield now needed the input of these guys.

Digging tunnels, building positions, and constructing ground fortresses.

The form of war changed in a very short period of time.

The rats are indeed very good at digging underground tunnels and fighting underground wars, but they cannot set up the entire battlefield underground.

The opposing commander is not a fool.

If you put all your strength into the underground, then the magic knights in the noble coalition will begin to prepare for a charge.

They will simply try to cross this long front line, and you won't even be able to stop them.

The open ground is the home ground of these knights, and it is easy to move forward or backward.

Fortresses and tunnels are necessary. Rat War is not a guerrilla war. In order to maintain stability in the rear, he must prevent these guys from crossing the front line.

The fortress and the tunnel are connected into one.

In a very short period of time, the rats built such a huge position, and the Big Claw Priests played a great role in this, although they did not want to take on this work at all.

Being too close to the front line made it difficult to escape when bombarded or when the enemy began to advance.

But it was obvious that they couldn't refuse the job.

Such a powerful position-building capability made the human side suffer a lot. If they wanted to move forward, they had to take down these fortresses that rose from the flat ground and were equipped with various war machines, and they had to cross the bumpy tunnels.

This is a very troublesome thing.

The ratmen also dug out intricate underground tunnels and chambers of various sizes beneath their positions. The tunnel fortresses on the ground and the underground tunnels and chambers are connected. You don't want to know how many ratmen will appear around you during an attack.

The crisscrossing gullies make the entire area of ​​land look ugly, as if it had been chewed by a dog.

A large number of ratmen warriors were poured into this intricate tunnel.

Their mission is not complicated, and what they have to do is not complicated either. Just stay here and kill the enemies that appear in front of them. That's all.

The crisscrossing gullies make these rat people feel at ease.

At least that's the case for this young guy, he even has the mind to look around.

In fact, it’s not too much to say that he is young. He has already participated in a war. Not long ago, he mixed in with many ratmen and, with the flag waved by the commander-in-chief, charged towards a city.

Fortunately, when it was his turn to climb the city wall, the city fell.

He still clearly remembered the scene that appeared before him that day.

He was very scared and uneasy. The guy behind him kept pushing him forward, and ratmen kept falling from the towering city wall in front of him.

He watched himself being pushed towards the towering city wall little by little. Not far behind him, those cold-blooded demons raised their spears high.

Even now, when he thought of the scene at that time, his body couldn't help but tremble.

At that time, every step forward would make me feel fearful, but here, I would feel more bored.

There is no need to move forward endlessly. Those cruel demons will not stand far behind you waving spears. You just need to wait in a quiet place.

Even a little boring.

Out of boredom, this no longer young young ratman suddenly started climbing the tunnel wall around him. For a ratman, climbing such a not-so-smooth surface was not a difficult task.

Although after climbing up, I couldn't see anything particularly different.

There were only crisscrossing tunnels and the surface of the earth that looked like it had been chewed by a dog, and it was even a little disgusting.

Oh, and there is also a ball of white light.

A ball of white light?

The no longer young rat man had some doubts in his mind.

It seemed that he was thinking about what this thing was, and while he was thinking, the ball of light fell to the ground.

It suddenly expanded, and the chaotic and disordered elements indiscriminately swept away everything in its path, leaving behind an area filled with mottled light and the earth that began to tremble.

The poor guy was right at the core area of ​​the attack, and he didn't even have time to feel the pain before he died in this horrific magical shock. His flesh and blood were eroded by the elements and turned into turbid crystals. The surging magic kept shocking in the crystals until the balance was broken, and the turbid crystals began to shatter.

It turned into a point of light, became a part of the violent element, and diffused in the heaven and earth.

This is a very dangerous means of attack, but also a very effective means of attack.

Generally, in an area struck by this chaotic element, any creature that cannot withstand the erosion of the element will be wiped out instantly. At the same time, the sudden imbalance of the elements in the area will also cause the earth to shake.

You have to admire the professional ability of the Big Claw Priests. In the face of such a blow, most of the tunnels they built were still preserved.

This is the power that comes from excellent architecture. Structural science is something that must be mastered to build a qualified underground city.

The vibrations of the elements gradually subsided with the passage of time.

The noble coalition's team also appeared at the end of the sight.

In the absolute suppression of firepower, it is a very appropriate tactic to first use magic cannons to suppress it and then press on with the army.

More ratmen began to appear on the battlefield as they were driven away, uneasy and holding spears, they were filled into the surviving tunnels and fortresses.

The face of warfare is changing rapidly.

Although it is hard to say which mode of war is more cruel to the rat people, the past or the present.

In the past, endless groups of ratmen charged forward and then met their own death in fear.

And now, he is facing his own death silently.

If we look at the casualty rate, there seems to be no significant difference between the two.

After all, no matter what, a large number of humble guys will die in the end. Is there any essential difference between falling from a towering city wall and being blasted into a ball of chaotic elements by magic cannons?

Actually, there should be, if you are more emotional.

Climbing up the towering city walls and witnessing your own death with your own eyes, you have some choices. You can die in anger, die bravely, or die in fear, anxiety, and despair.

Being blasted into a ball of chaotic elements by magic cannon is a quick process without any unnecessary pain, but it seems even more humble, as if your death has little to do with you.

Life seems particularly humble.

But there is actually no need to think too much about this issue.

Lowly guys have never been qualified to decide their own destiny.

For the great warlords and high priests who can control their destiny, there is only one thing these guys need to do and can do.

Hold your weapons tightly and go to face the war.
