From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 320: Progress in War

War always brings progress.

Whether it is for ratmen or humans, in this situation where there is no way to retreat, if you cannot adapt in time, it means the coming of death.

The strategy to counter the chaos cannon was figured out by the rat-men priests who had suffered heavy casualties.

There was no need to look for a solution from the earth, as the impact of the chaos cannon on underground structures was too great.

Turn your gaze elsewhere.

A mess of stone pillars were built, with strange and twisted lines stretching across them.

These stone pillars seemed like the prelude to a bloody, twisted and bizarre ritual.

But in reality it is not the case.

This is the magical pattern, which is drawn by imitating the complex patterns on the magical instruments of the Ghost Eye people.

The ratmen priests did not learn much. It was disorganized, unclear in function, and full of loopholes. Yes, it was just a bunch of weird patterns full of loopholes, an ugly imitation of the inscription literature of the Ghost-Eyed people.

But these imitations were able to successfully resist the whistling elemental chaos cannons that were falling down.

A large amount of gray elements like the sky gathered on the messy stone pillars.

The only function these ugly imitations can achieve is to bring together various elements in a disorderly manner.

The effect of the patterns engraved on each stone pillar is exactly the same, gathering elements, gathering the elements of this world, and then piling them all up on the top of the stone pillar.

The mottled elemental aura served as a barrier.

The elemental chaos cannons fired by the human side were finally no longer so deadly. They would be consumed prematurely when passing through this mottled element, causing a raging small elemental tide to burst out in the sky.

This is the response given by the Big Claw Priests.

A peculiar system that is very difficult to evaluate.

It's hard to evaluate because it's too simple, but it's really effective.

There are many smart guys among the ratmen. Even though the ratmen as a whole cannot match the Ghost-Eyed People, they do not have any significant specialization in intelligence.

But there are too many ratmen. Even if only one out of ten thousand ratmen can finally have a flash of inspiration, in that countless group of ratmen, such flashes of inspiration would be enough to transform into violent flashes of lightning after being connected together.

This system doesn't have a name yet.

Half of it comes from the bold imitation of the Ghost Eye people, and half of it comes from the appropriate use of the structure left by the long claws.

The part that gathers magic power is a bold imitation of the Ghost Eye people, while the part that inputs energy is a rational use of the structure left by the long claws.

Pieces of dark blue bones are inlaid at the bottom of these messy stone pillars. The soul power that is constantly being extracted is the key to activating those simple magic inscriptions.

This is an extremely wasteful move. It is such a waste of soul power to use it in this way.

These dark blue skeletons are not the powerful ores or special ores that they appear to be. In essence, these dark blue skeletons are the plunder of the souls of intelligent creatures. They are pitiful creatures wailing without relief.

This is an extremely bad move.

So evil that he might be regarded as an absolute enemy by most of the gods and gods of death in the good camp.

Moreover, imprisoning souls is not a subjective act of the rat people.

It was a tragedy caused by an accident.

That's how it was.

Until the rats gradually tasted the benefits brought to them by these wailing souls, these guys were not good people to begin with.

Dig up the rotten flesh, take out the souls of the pitiful guys, grind them, and turn them into a force to support our greatness and maintain our continuous offerings to the great gods and the endless gifts that come down.

This is what they will definitely do.

Just as the ratmen warriors in the Eastern Expeditionary Force were dealing with the human artillery in a very simple way.

The human crusades are also looking for ways to avoid the lightning cannon.

In fact, it is not that difficult to deal with the pervasive dark blue lightning.

The ratmen's lightning cannon is a bit too biased.

It has great destructive power against intelligent creatures, but its destructive power against the environment and defense measures can only be described as just barely adequate.

Compared to the terrifying power of the Elemental Chaos Cannon that is enough to shake the earth.

The lightning cannon could only barely leave a small dent, and its power was just barely better than the painstaking creations of the Big Claw Priests, those bulky and complex terrifying catapults.

What the Crusades had to deal with more was the pervasive dark blue lightning.

To be honest, even though this crusade army has gathered a large number of wizards from various magic academies and fields, there is still no accurate result as to what the blue lightning that the rats have tinkered with is.

This is something that is beyond understanding, and it also seems to have additional harmful effects on mages like them.

If ordinary ghost-eyed humans were struck by the ghost blue lightning, they would just lose their mobility for a moment. However, if a mage was affected by the ghost blue lightning, the situation would be much more terrifying.

Dark blue lightning patterns climbed up his head in a disorderly manner. His powerful mental strength brought him a certain resistance to the dark blue lightning. Before he died, he could make an extremely hideous expression in pain, or let out a scream.

Such a horrifying scene made the mages avoid these dark blue lightning like the plague.

However, what they need to do is not to thoroughly understand what these dangerous lightnings are, but to find ways to avoid their harm.

Observe, summarize, and think.

This is a famous saying left by a great wizard, and it is also the code of conduct for wizards.

They found a way to cope with it.

The diffused dark blue lightning is not strong enough to penetrate rocks, soil, and wood, which provides the basis for avoidance.

A large number of heavy fortresses were built. This was the first thing the Crusaders did after filling in all the tunnels dug by the rats.

Although it was not entirely convenient to do so, the isolated fortresses could indeed effectively resist the rats' constant bombardment of the dark blue lightning cannons, but it also isolated the Crusades into many small parts, which brought some hidden dangers.

Especially when the rats quickly organized another attack.

Under the horrific bombardment of the rat priests with no regard for harming friendly forces, one fortress after another was isolated and quickly fell under the rat attack.

If Caesar had not led the royal knights into the battlefield fearlessly again, the losses caused by this attack would probably have been devastating.

With bright flags fluttering at his side and tall knights behind him, he arrived like an angel. Even the terrifying blue lightning was powerless against him.

Yes, the ratmen's lightning cannon had no effect on Caesar. Although the essence of his soul power was extremely high, his divine power was not much inferior. Moreover, he had too many holy objects bestowed by demigods on his body.

What could be more morale-boosting than such a presence?

Soon, the rats retreated in embarrassment.
