From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 316, Confrontation

Whether it was the Rat War, the Rat Lords, the Rat Parliament, or Rope Seven, they were all waiting for that war.

The spying in the dark has never stopped.

In fact, the open attention has never stopped.

Many guys are paying attention to Shu Zhan, and Shu Zhan deserves such attention.

In short, the war is about to begin.

The clash between the Brutal Knights and the Magic Knights has been going on for quite some time.

As a prelude to war.

This area has truly been transformed into a dangerous zone with jagged edges due to the rat war.

There are intricate gullies and underground tunnels, cavities of all sizes, and lightning cannons dropped at high altitudes with the angles and directions adjusted.

The ratmen teams were divided into positions, and their orders were not complicated: stay there, stay there.

No matter what happens, just stay there.

In order to cope with this war, a large number of fortresses were built. They were not very complicated things, just some earth slopes piled high with logs. They were very simple, but the things placed on them were not simple at all. Various war machines were piled on these simple fortresses.

Huge and complex catapults, ballistae, tall bell towers, and lightning cannons.

At the same time, there are a large number of rat priests and big claw priests with slave rats occupying these simple fortresses.

In fact, if possible, the rats would undoubtedly prefer to place those complex structures and battlefields underground. The dim and narrow tunnels are the rats' home ground.

However, in the last brutal positional battle, the Eastern Expeditionary Force suffered heavy losses because of this.

These tunnels, which took little time to build, were unable to withstand the bombardment of the elemental chaos cannons in the hands of humans.

The rats were forced to move the battlefield to the ground and build a large number of surface trenches and simple fortresses.

Cannons will be the absolute center of this war and will also be the core of future wars. This was made clear in the last war.

The human crusade has arrived.

Standing on a high cliff, Shu Zhan had already seen the continuous flames appearing at the end of his sight.

The guy riding Pegasus, the guy who was highly regarded by many guys in the human kingdom, the guy who was defeated by Rat War.

He came to the ratmen's position.

It didn't get too close, just out of the attack range of the prototype lightning cannon.

Spots of light from the illumination technique were shot toward the sky.

The darkness in the area was largely dispelled, making the guy riding the white Pegasus even more dazzling.

Shu Zhan narrowed his eyes.

With the help of dark vision, the rats have become less adapted to the light during the long night. This is a very normal situation. The rats are indeed more adapted to dim environments.

Yes, it is dim, but not completely dark. Their dark vision is not real dark vision, but more like dim vision. Even in the intricate dungeon, the ratmen will light candles.

They also need light, but they are not so accustomed to light that is too dazzling.

Perhaps this dazzling prince had received intelligence from the coalition of nobles, but it was undoubtedly a little outdated. The terrifying lightning cannons produced by the Big Claw Priests, these larger and thicker lightning cannons, did not have the stability of the prototype structure, but had a longer range and more powerful power.

Right now, Shuzhan can try to give these uninvited guys a surprise.

All it takes is waving the flag.

However, Shuzhan did not do so until these guys left.

Perhaps it was due to the distrust of the products of these big claw priests, or perhaps they wanted to give the human army a formal surprise when the war began.

In the darkness, the war had not yet officially begun.

The ratmen's position did look a bit ordinary. There were no towering walls, exaggerated terrain, or sturdy castles.

There was only a dark outline amidst the faint sound of the waves.

A slightly raised terrain led to a long single-sided slope. Caesar saw the black dragon flag of Rat War at the top of the slope, on the high cliff.

Doesn't look majestic.

But is it really like this?

When he came here provocatively, the ratmen in this position were also observing him. Pairs of scarlet eyes were looking at him from almost everywhere, and suddenly, the restless ratman priest rang the big bell in front of him.

The piercing and sharp sound of bells echoed across the battlefield.

The horse of a knight behind Caesar was startled by the sudden sharp sound and raised its front hooves high.

Fortunately, the knight's riding skills were quite superb, and he quickly calmed his horse down.

However, it weakened the brewing momentum a bit.

Those pairs of scarlet eyes showed a bit more recklessness.

Caesar took a deep look at the black flag fluttering in the wind on the top of the cliff.

He certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to rely on himself and the magic knights behind him to charge at the ratman army in front of him.

This is just a test to bring more effective information to the subsequent war.

It was not that he was reckless without reason. In fact, he was prepared for the possible attacks.

Not only did the nobles and the royal family provide various supports, but the churches of the gods also placed their chips on him for this war.

If you look closely, you will find that many of the items on Caesar's body are shining with an inexplicable brilliance, and these are not just decorations.

They are all holy relics from many churches.

Although the human gods are now trapped in the death battle field by Du Yuan and cannot interfere in many matters in the small world, this does not mean that they have no influence in the small world at all.

Especially after the human gods signed the covenant and forcibly tore a gap in the field of death, they were able to restore contact with their believers.

Many holy objects did not need to be bestowed on the spot, but were bestowed long before the life-and-death battle with Du Yuan. As long as the connection with the gods was restored, these holy objects would still be able to show their special features, which could be regarded as blessings from these gods.

Although the way of giving was really embarrassing, the Church of the Gods stripped almost all the holy objects from the popes in order to get the sacred suit with special brilliance for Caesar.

It can be said that the Church of the Gods has indeed spared no effort in this war.

This sacred suit is the reason why Caesar dares to stand here at this moment.

You must know that this is not a beggar's version of the blessing of the gods, like the Wolf Orc King, which is pieced together by many defeated apprentice gods, but a genuine blessing of the gods constructed from many holy objects offered by the Church of the Gods of Humanity.

However, even though he was covered with many holy objects and all kinds of dazzling light, Caesar was still not so confident about the outcome of this war.

It is not surprising. If the human gods were full of confidence and the church of the gods did not hesitate, then these holy objects would not have gathered neatly on him at all.

Precisely because you are not so sure, you put all your chips on the line.

Caesar wanted to use the holy objects on his body and himself to obtain some useful information before the war.

It’s a pity that the rats were indifferent and just watched him in silence.

If the test is unsuccessful, we can only attribute everything to a fair and direct war.

He pulled the reins in his hand and turned back with the knights behind him.

It was very quiet today. Even the ferocious knights who appeared every day to fight with the magic knights did not show up.

The Jihad Army is making final repairs, hoping to be in its final condition to face the next war.

As for the rat people, this position is also being supplemented with more details.

Neither humans nor ratmen harassed the other side any further, not because of martial ethics or anything else, but because both sides were preparing for tomorrow's war.

Of course, there are bound to be some other emotions that come up.

Just within the jihad army, there were many different emotions.

Tension, fear, hatred, uneasiness, and relief, all kinds of emotions gathered in this long night.

But the situation for the rat people is much simpler.

There is more confusion and not knowing what is going to happen from the young ratmen, and some excitement and fear from the ratmen who have been tempered by the long journey.

For the rat people, more troubles will arise after the brutal war officially begins.

Although by that time, no matter how troubled or emotional you are, you have to get through it.

The President may not be able to pay attention to you all the time.

But the supervision team will definitely keep an eye on you at all times.
