From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 282: Luxurious Battlefield
The lives of the rat people on the main continent have undergone earth-shaking changes during this period.

The goods from the Ratman Empire have largely filled the lives of these guys who have long been active in the marginal areas.

A contribution from the visiting ratman caravan.

Well, it could also be human stuff. The fall of two human provinces and the looting of one human province brought a large number of human creations to these ratman caravans.

They can be purely utilized as waste or sold as raw materials. In short, you can buy all kinds of goods in the rat caravan. These things that are regarded as waste by the rat caravan include various pots and pans, exquisite utensils, and soft clothes. These things that were once extremely precious and rare have become the favorites of these rat people on the main continent, especially when the prices are particularly cheap.

It's just not a wise decision.

Perhaps various weapons, resources, or even the blood mushrooms themselves are what they need more right now.

Of course blood mushrooms are needed to purchase goods, which come from the preparation of Rat War and the production of the blood pool, with the preparation of Rat War accounting for the majority.

Every once in a while, a large number of blood mushrooms would arrive along with those indifferent guys.

This is a dangerous sign.

Shuzhan is not a stingy guy, but when he is generous to you, you really need to think about what that guy needs you to do.

However, the ratmen on the main continent are unaware of this. They have been a little too happy recently, indulging in the sweet happiness brought by the blood mushrooms.

But what is meant to come will always come.

In Lianyan Province, the corruption is almost coming to an end.

The royal knights cleared the land swiftly and vigorously. The rat warlords fled in a panic with their armies. Most of the defeated rat warlords were recalled by the Rat War and filled into the long battlefield.

Defense is an order that is easy to execute. These defeated rat warlords are all very dedicated and responsible. This is the price of defeat, and the losers are not qualified to expect more.

The order Shu Zhan gave them was simple: defend the area they were responsible for, or die.

This is a very simple and easy to understand command.

It can inspire the most vigorous fighting spirit.

The royal knights were ready to move forward. It didn't take them long to advance. They only needed to cross the barren mountains at the junction of the provinces in front of them, and they would be able to reach a very critical location.

Reaching the junction of the Golden Province, Lianyan Province, Plateau and Unnamed Province, the four places are stuck in the throat of the Eastern Expeditionary Force.

If they really did it, it would be a very dangerous situation.

Shu Zhan has been unable to spare any time recently, but fortunately the scale of this Royal Knights is not that large.

If this was an army of astonishing size, even if they were not knights but just ordinary farmers stuck in this position, then Shuzhan would definitely be uneasy.

But the number of knights is still too small.

Before the royal knights appeared in the barren mountains at the border of the provinces, the Big Claw Priests had already set off.

Accompanied by the endless slave rats.

These guys will not be thrown into battle directly because they have no combat power, but every battle is absolutely indispensable to them.

A typical model worker on the front line.

Tunnels, underground tunnels, soldier hiding chambers, and various fortresses and outposts were being constructed at an extremely fast speed.

Just waiting for supplies. No, it should not be described like this. It should be said that we are just waiting for the brave soldiers to move in here.

By the time the rat people on the main continent realized something was wrong, it was already a little late.

These guys are not really very good soldiers, and it is even a stretch to consider them as consumables.

Fortunately, the tunnels and fortresses built by the Big Claw Priests are still very powerful.

At the same time, another group of equally professional guys arrived at the battlefield.

They were a group of guys with cold faces and who looked a little dazed, but they were soon dubbed devils.

Whether on the front lines of war or behind the battlefield, death is so common.

The war front was trampled, pierced, and cut off.

Behind the battlefield, he was pierced, hung up, and hung high.

Countless ratmen were hung high up, swaying in the wind.

The world was dark. Perhaps low-light vision was not a good thing sometimes. At least the appearance of those guys hung high up was so clear, and death was displayed directly before our eyes.

This devilish guy won't tolerate any retreat.

His body couldn't help but tremble. The ratmen on the main continent were simpler than their counterparts who grew up in the twisted kingdom.

In fact, this kind of display does not involve the participation of the temple guards, as these guys’ techniques are much more sophisticated.

The chest is broken open, the limbs are cut off, death has not yet come, but the wailing can continue. Such a picture is undoubtedly more impactful and more artistic.

Although such art is undoubtedly a bit advanced for our compatriots on the main continent.

Just doing this now is enough.

At the beginning of the war, the ratmen on the main continent behaved very badly. They exchanged most of the blood mushrooms for some flashy things.

On the battlefield and in the tunnels, a large number of ratmen wearing tight silk robes and dazzling gold and silver ornaments on their bodies were trembling as they fought with the golden knights who broke into their sight.

I have to say, these guys’ attire is quite luxurious, but their death is a bit sloppy.

Gold, silver, jewelry, intricate and exquisite patterns, priceless silk, these things were scattered all over the battlefield along with the death of a ratman. If a lighting spell was fired into the sky at this time, then the various objects that could shine brightly would probably make people unable to open their eyes.

These are the good things that the rats took out from the treasuries of the nobles.

But at this moment, it has no other effect except dazzling.

The rat people on the main continent were disappearing rapidly, like a long candle that was constantly fading away as the wax slipped and the flame flickered.

They worked, and the pace of the Royal Knights was successfully slowed down.

………….

In the underground rat city, in that dark abyss.

Graystone's attempt has made progress.

This skeleton with a faint blue color can be used as a source of energy. The hairy mouse's idea is not wrong.

The power hidden in the totems of those heretical gods does have a large part of universal formulas, all of which are guiding the magical power that permeates the world.

It’s just that what inspired these formulas before was the power of various heretical gods, or the power of faith.

And these blue bones can replace the power of faith.

A simple pattern painted on a leather scroll was carved on the stone wall. A small piece of bone was taken out from the skeleton in the hand and embedded in the center of the simple pattern. There was a reaction, and a hazy green light appeared at the bottom of the dark and deep abyss.

A breeze appeared and blew across Gray Stone's face.

At this moment, even this dazed guy showed some excitement on his face. Obviously, one does not have to be a ratman priest to be able to use such power, and one does not have to be a ratman priest to fulfill that trust.

Joy appeared on his face.

Appeared on the face of this stupid guy.

Although it is a bit wasteful, these pure soul powers can indeed be used as a kind of energy, and can seamlessly connect many things, the power of faith, magic system, and even more.

It is not surprising that all spirit-driven systems can use these soul powers, which are extremely high-end powers.

What's more, the soul power contained in this dark blue skeleton is extremely pure.

But what is certain is that most systems' methods of using soul power are not so crude.

If these dark blue bones were given to the mages of the Ghost-Eyed Human Race, then these precious treasures would probably be used directly to increase the upper limit of mental power, which would be enough to drive any mage crazy.

It's not impossible to use it as energy, but, how should I put it, it feels like a primitive man lighting a nuclear-powered torch.

You found a group of primitive people in a cave. They shared antimatter energy with you and used it to light a torch.

That’s probably how it feels.

A waste of natural resources.

However, Huishi didn't feel anything about his waste and had a happy expression on his face.

The joy did not last long, as some strange noises appeared around.

The moment the sound appeared, Huishi reacted immediately. The leather scroll unfolded in front of him was immediately put away and held in his arms. The short spear on his back was taken off and held in his hand.

His face was full of vigilance, and he was ready to fight.

It is not safe in this abyss. In fact, this place is one of the most dangerous areas in the underground rat city. Another dangerous place of equal fame is the original temple of the great god.

Although these statements are directed at ordinary rat people, they are enough to explain something.

Not to mention the dangerous deformed creatures that roam in the abyss, just the hungry ones who are also digging for food on the flesh and blood soil in the abyss are dangerous enough.

These hungry creatures have been reduced to eating the deformed flesh and blood, and they will never refuse to try to eat fresh flesh and blood.

In fact, during this period of time, Huishi had already fought several rounds with these zombies.

Eating the flesh and blood of their own kind for a long time seems to have brought some strange changes to these guys. Although they are so skinny that it seems like there is only a layer of flesh attached to the bones, their strength and defense are unexpectedly strong.

The layer of dried flesh became as tough as tanned leather, and could even withstand the impact of a sharp blade.

In the dark corners of the Rat City, some strange things have begun to grow.

Huishi didn't want to become like these monsters, but what he and they were doing didn't change much. They were all digging for food on this mountain of flesh piled with countless corpses.

But fortunately, at least, at least Graystone did not start to turn towards these guys.

The guys that emerged from the darkness this time were not the rat-eating zombies that Graystone had encountered before, but some more dangerous guys, those twisted and distorted creatures.

Graystone was not sure he could survive.

There were many distorted creatures appearing before him, with all kinds of strange images.

A tall, thin rat man with exposed flesh and pointy ears.

The rat-man was so overblown that he couldn't even stand up and collapsed on the ground, crawling.

A ratman with messy black scales and vertical pupils.

All kinds of weird guys.

Huishi held the leather scroll in his arms tighter.

However, these various deformed ratmen did not attack him, but stood quietly in place.

A guy walked out slowly.

A rat man with a hunched back walked out slowly.

When he appeared, these hideous rat-man deformities began to tremble in unison, and one could clearly feel the aggrieved feeling in them.

The rat man didn't look at Huishi, but walked quickly. At this moment, Huishi's body was tense, and he wanted to stab out the spear in his hand.

However, he did not make any attacking move until the hunchbacked rat man walked up to him and stood in front of the pattern that was constantly sending out breezes.

Unable to make an attacking move, the body instinctively resists the action.

He began to tremble unconsciously, and an inexplicable premonition emerged in his heart. If he launched an attack, he would die, definitely die.

The long-clawed fingers gently brushed across the simple pattern engraved on the stone wall, causing a harsh sound.

Because of the metal glove engraved with a faint blue pattern.

There was a strong curiosity in his eyes, about the pattern, about the dark blue skeleton, or about the breeze that appeared out of thin air after such a simple combination.

These are all things that make Long Claws curious.

While thinking, he used a little more force, and the metal glove sank into the stone wall in front of him, destroying a part of the pattern that made up this simple design. In an instant, this wonderful reaction was interrupted and the breeze stopped.

Thoughts were interrupted.

He took off the piece of dark blue bone inlaid in the center of the pattern. The dark blue color reminded him of the divine object bestowed by the gods.

Obviously, this was something he had never come into contact with, a magical thing, and he had a hunch that this magical thing should be able to help him.

It is really hard to imagine that such a magical thing has been hidden beside me without being noticed.

Looking up, Longclaw glanced at Graystone, who was holding the short spear tightly beside him.

Graystone still did not put down the short spear in his hand. Faced with the instinctive tremor caused by the insurmountable gap, he was still able to raise his weapon, which was already beyond most of the ratmen.

The turning point of destiny has arrived.

Playing with the blue skeleton in his hand, Long Claws was not prepared to kill Gray Stone.

To be honest, Long Claws doesn't particularly like Graystone, perhaps because of the courage it shows. Long Claws doesn't particularly like brave people.

But he also has to admit that his experiments cannot be done without brave people. At least these guys who can grit their teeth and persevere in cruel experiments can accept the pain brought by deformation better than ordinary ratmen.

Can bring success to his experiment.

This guy still has some uses.

Maybe it could help him.

Long Claw gave Graystone this evaluation.
