From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 290, Breaking the Blockade

The noble coalition forces advancing forward still maintained a certain order and pressed forward in an orderly manner.

The vanguard troops of the Eastern Expeditionary Force performed very tenaciously. This time there was no supervision team pressing them from the rear, but these guys still worked exceptionally hard.

But in the end, there was some weakness in the follow-up, as the rats were not a group of guys who excelled in individual quality.

In the brutal fighting, defeat was inevitable, and the situation on the battlefield seemed particularly chaotic, especially for the Eastern Expeditionary Force. After many mobilizations, positions and tunnels were abandoned.

A huge group of ratmen huddled together, close to each other, crowded together, with fear on their faces. There were all kinds of shouting, grinding of teeth, whispering, and all kinds of messy noises. These noises were harsh and showed the anxiety of most of the ratmen at the moment.

The two troops, one in front and one behind, were rapidly tearing open the Eastern Expeditionary Force's front line like two hot knives cutting butter.

There are a large number of ratmen warriors who have managed to survive this cruel battlefield, a large number of young ratmen who have just arrived at this battlefield, or those old foxes mixed in the army.

A large number of people died at this moment.

Shu Zhan did not pay attention to the terrible situation on the battlefield at this time.

Instead, he set his sights on the advancing noble coalition. The commander of the noble coalition was indeed steady. Even though the situation was so bad for Shu Zhan at the moment and it was obviously time to beat the weak water dog, he was still so cautious.

The elemental annihilation cannon has begun to fall. There are too many ratmen gathered here. The gray and black color almost completely fills everything in sight. The turbulent flow of elemental disturbances that burst out with the falling artillery is like an eraser, smearing out pieces of empty windows.

Being steady is a good advantage, but sometimes you cannot maintain your stability, especially in such a chaotic battlefield.

A team was separated from Rat Zhan's personal guard. This team, which was trained by Rat Zhan from the Rat Man Supervisory Team, was about to declare its presence on the battlefield for the first time.

Although my aunt already had certain expectations for their performance before they even appeared on stage.

Rat Zhan's guards are roughly similar to a group of guys in terms of standards, armor, weapons and equipment.

Brutal Knights, you can think of Rat War's guards as a group of dismounted Brutal Knights.

However, there is still a gap between the two. The ferocious knights riding ferocious giant rats pay more attention to riding skills, although their tactics have always been summed up in a few simple words: charge, and then kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy.

When riding on the ferocious giant rats, the ferocious knights have an absolute advantage, but when the battlefield is moved to flat ground, the Rat War's Guards are more powerful.

For a not-so-complicated reason, in order to maintain physical strength during long raids, especially when wearing heavy full body armor, more blood mushrooms will be supplied to these guards first.

These guys are the few heavy armored infantry in the short history of the Skaven Empire.

Now on the battlefield, these guys are beginning to show their prowess.

Mixing in with ordinary ratmen, he followed the dark tide to get closer to his target.

On the battlefield, when the noble coalition forces gradually accelerated and slammed into the panicked guys of the Eastern Expeditionary Force.

In the one-sided massacre, the morale of the ratmen warriors was rapidly declining until a team suddenly appeared.

These ratmen wearing dark armor charged towards the noble coalition forces without any hesitation. In the fierce battle, these guys managed to withstand the charge of the noble coalition forces.

It's like a reef protecting against the waves, except that usually the rats act as the waves, but this time it's the other way around.

These guards turned into reefs, resisting the noble coalition forces that kept appearing in front of them from afar.

The morale of the Eastern Expeditionary Force was temporarily stabilized.

After taking a breath, in the bloody smell that filled the battlefield, the rat priests who were incorporated into the rat army helped a lot at this moment. They were indeed good at boosting morale.

Amid the ratmen's frantic counterattack, the battlefield seemed to have turned into a cruel meat grinder.

In such a turbulent situation, even though the commander of the noble coalition army continued to issue orders to consolidate the defense line, everything was still rapidly falling into chaos.

Small gaps appeared on the defense line organized by the coalition of nobles.

It was almost time for that opportunity, that chance to break through human defenses and into the heart of humanity.

But before that, Rat War still has to deal with a small problem.

A challenger appeared, broke through the chaotic battlefield, and stood in front of Shuzhan. His bright armor was engraved with fine carvings hidden in the corners, a display of luxury and low-key.

Of course, these are not the most eye-catching thing. Those eyes, those bright eyes full of fighting spirit, are the most eye-catching.

He challenged Shu Zhan, and Shu Zhan accepted the challenge.

With a grim smile, he took off the scarlet spear on his back, thinking that perhaps he could accomplish all this in a more dignified way by killing a human leader.

The two sides collided with each other on this chaotic battlefield. In just a moment of fighting, the knight felt something was wrong. Rat Zhan's power overwhelmed him. It was not to the point where he could not resist, but he was at a disadvantage in the moment of the fight.

That prince was also the most dazzling knight.

However, he came to Rat Zhan in such a radical way, as if he wanted to have a battle between general and king.

But the result was not good. The battle had just begun and he was overwhelmed by Shu Zhan in terms of strength.

He clamped his legs together, and the warhorse he was sitting on raised its voice high with a hissing sound. The spear that Shu Zhan had pressed down was lifted up high, and he leaped back, keeping a safe enough distance.

At this moment, both parties stopped what they were doing and looked at each other.

Shu Zhan's expression was ferocious and terrifying, but the prince's face was completely covered by the mask and could not be seen clearly.

The pause in the battle lasted only a moment before the two sides began fighting again.

During the mutual contact, the warhorse ridden by the prince gave him great convenience.

Whether advancing or retreating, he relied on the mobility of his warhorse to barely fight the rats. Obviously, he underestimated the danger of the rats.

Although this situation is not surprising, many of Rat Zhan's opponents have underestimated him, thinking that as long as they get close to him, everything will be fine, and that as long as the distance between the two sides is close enough, they can easily kill Rat Zhan. It is not surprising, the Rat Man taken out alone is indeed so weak that it is really difficult for people to take him seriously.

But how should I put it, guys who look down on him like this are usually killed by him.

Shu Zhan took the initiative to advance. Taking a step forward, this ugly, hairless guy appeared in front of the human prince. As usual, he waved the weapon in his hand and rushed towards Shu Zhan.

It was easily blocked by Shu Zhan, but things did not end so easily. The human prince's warhorse let out a mournful cry. Shu Zhan had never been able to hold the weapon with only one hand.

The pitch-black flag was used as a spear. Shu Zhan sent it out without any warning and stabbed it into the abdominal cavity of the tall warhorse in front of him from a tricky angle. It just stirred it gently, and the painful neighing sounded on the battlefield at this moment. The warhorse began its struggle before death. Shu Zhan nimbly dodged the attack of the mad warhorse and walked away amid the sharp and twisted laughter.

But the prince was not so lucky. When the warhorse under him revolted, he wanted to appease it the first time. However, at this time there was no big difference between appeasing and not appeasing.

He was thrown off the warhorse, in a miserable state. Beside him, the warhorse fell to the ground and died with a sharp neigh.

Obviously, it is not easy to train a qualified knight. Whether it is training, learning, or cultivating tacit understanding and feelings with your partner for a long time, all of these require a lot of effort.

But now, all the tacit understanding, partners, and many other messy things that had been invested for a long time, the warhorse was simply killed by a flag from Shuzhan.

Shu Zhan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Not only did he want to kill the horse, he also wanted to kill the guy who dared to stand in front of him and challenge him.

With a ferocious and dangerous laugh.

Rat Zhan pressed forward and was almost unstoppable in all aspects. After obtaining the blessing of killing, except that he still did not have much magical ability, Rat Zhan became more powerful in all aspects.

During the battle, a spot of scarlet appeared on Shuzhan's body.

He kept attacking, almost suppressing the prince.

Yes, this prince is also a hero, but there are also gaps between heroes.

Shu Zhan could easily suppress the prince but could not kill him at once. As a prince of the Youyan human race, he was obviously proficient in all kinds of magic.

Choose a spell that best suits the situation.

The dazzling light completely illuminated this small area in an instant. Faced with such bright and dazzling light, Shu Zhan subconsciously closed his eyes. Although he quickly forced himself to open his eyes again, he still gave the Dark-eyed human prince a chance to catch his breath.

The panting Dark-eyed human prince once again distanced himself from the enemy, looking extremely miserable, and was now gasping for breath while leaning on his knees.

In the non-stop fight just now, the sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand.

A hint of anger appeared on Shu Zhan's face, especially when he saw the human prince with dark eyes not far away.

His eyes looked a little redder in the dazzling light.

When Shu Zhan looked at him, the prince of the Youyan human race once again grasped the sword in his hand and took a stance.

A guy who overestimates his own abilities.

Shu Zhan didn't even look at this guy again. A large group of royal knights broke through the chaos from behind and gathered around the prince of the Ghost-Eyed Human Tribe.

He didn't really want to fight with the noble coalition and the team of knights in front of him. Although he wanted to kill all these guys, this was not the most important thing right now.

In the fearless charge of the Rat War Guards and the counterattack of the Rat Army, the tight coalition of nobles was torn into two and split into two parts. Now is the best opportunity.

Compared to what he had to do, the urge to kill this unknown guy had to be put aside.

The blood-stained black flag began to wave again. Shu Zhan and his personal guards rushed towards the gray-black tide of ratmen behind them, and their figures disappeared in an instant.

Shu Zhan led the team personally, and the black flag appeared on the front line again. As the flag waved, Shu Zhan began to shout loudly, commanding the army which was huge to a certain extent.

Countless ratmen began to charge amid the waving of the rat war flags.

This is a right that belongs exclusively to the commander-in-chief, and it is also a right that belongs to Rat Zhan.

With sharp shouts, the ratmen surged forward. The royal knights who were still committing abuses in the back were simply ignored by Rat War. The army was too large, and even a little bit of death could not cause any ripples.

Along the crack, the rats poured in madly and were impossible to stop. The commander of the noble coalition finally understood what Rat War was trying to do, but it was a little too late now.

The terrifying elemental chaos cannons kept falling towards the leading Rat War who was carrying a flag and was extremely conspicuous. However, the effect they had was only slightly better than nothing. They were all blocked by the pitch-black flag. The moment they fell, they were like firecrackers with their fuses cut off, and they immediately went silent.

Shu Zhan was laughing crazily and running wildly. It was obvious that his bet was right this time, and now no one could stop him.

Instead of fighting to the death with these human armies here and guarding against attacks from the barbarians on the plateau at all times, Shu Zhan has always been more fond of wreaking havoc in the heartland of the Youyan people and lighting up those villages, towns and cities.

No one can stop him now.

The artillery fire was still falling, and the ratmen next to Shu Zhan were in trouble. However, Shu Zhan didn't care, even though there was probably only one group that could gather around him at this time.

His personal guard.

But even so, what does it matter? The madly running Rat Zhan didn't care about the tiny casualties at all.

It's not that there is no way to survive. For example, if you get closer to Rat War, you can be included in the protection of the black flag.

In the rounds of artillery fire, only the guards surrounding Shu Zhan escaped with their lives.

But it was a bit strange, why among the guards closest to Rat Zhan, a stupid guy had a little white hair showing.

A silly guy with white hair, a pretty weird guy.

Shu Zhan led his personal guards and a large number of ratmen to break through the blockade and escape. The price he paid was heavy. He only took away one-third of the Eastern Expeditionary Force. The remaining two-thirds of the ratmen warriors were treated as consumables and abandoned on the chaotic battlefield without any nostalgia or hesitation.
