From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 329: The Divided Eastern Expeditionary Force

The bells were ringing wildly, and there were all kinds of shouts.

It's too jarring.

Rat War encountered betrayal. On this cruel battlefield, the rat priests chose to betray without hesitation.

Perhaps it was because of the killings that Rat War had done before.

Almost all of those guys being hung high were ratmen priests.

The Rat War killed too many rat priests.

Or perhaps the rat lords promised more to these greedy guys who were of the same lineage as themselves.

In short, at the most critical moment of this war, Rat War was betrayed.

Shu Zhan should have thought of this and taken precautions when those rat caravans stopped coming and when he noticed the incident.

It's just that this guy is too arrogant and conceited.

The rats were dying rapidly.

The battle between the Eastern Expeditionary Force and the Eastern Expeditionary Force is going on.

The massive losses of the Ratman Supervisory Corps and the deaths of the Royal Guards brought Rat War's control over the Eastern Expeditionary Force to the lowest level in history.

Should have been prepared.

The successive deaths of the rat warlords have already weakened the control of the Rat War.

It’s just that those rat warlords died one after another, and the driving force behind this matter even included the existence of Rat War himself.

Even the logistics were at the mercy of the trade between the ratmen squad leaders and the ratmen caravans, and his authority had been weakened unknowingly.

Indeed, in such a situation, betrayal does not seem to be such a strange thing.

Black flags fluttered on the battlefield.

The situation suddenly changed after Caesar stepped onto the battlefield. The damn guy was still wearing his dazzling relic suit. This time Caesar did not ride on Pegasus. He defeated the ratmen warriors in one direction on the battlefield.

The ratmen warriors hurriedly avoided this dazzling guy.

Rat War stepped onto the battlefield at this time.

The two sides met again on the battlefield.

Rat War's departure almost instantly triggered a grand rebellion.

The sharp and piercing metal bell kept ringing on the simple fortress.

Not only the rat-man priests in the Eastern Expeditionary Force joined the rebellion, but a large number of rat-man squads also joined in.

There was fear on the faces of these traitors. Of course they should be afraid, after all, they were betraying Shu Zhan.

There was no way out, that was a price they absolutely could not refuse, or in other words, they were no longer qualified to refuse those rat lords who were secretly watching them with greedy eyes after one transaction and one gift after another.

Long-term gifts are not pie in the sky. Every price tag given for no reason is like honey that leads them into the abyss.

Shu Zhan didn't know that in the Eastern Expeditionary Force, a huge investment had begun since he used the method of subdividing the army to forcibly take back control from the rat warlords who had been rewarded by himself.

Indeed, the ratman priests, those former senior ratman priests, now the ratman lords, seemed to have had their spines broken early on, but they never seemed to retract their claws, but simply hid them in the darkness.

Unconsciously, the living standards of many ratmen team leaders have improved.

Yes, it would be better to call it a standard, as this is what these rat lords have always been doing.

To promote a set of crude concepts, produce exquisite instruments, promote a set of complicated rituals, and of course, the most important thing is to promote the blood mushroom higher and higher.

These are not the inferior blood mushrooms that ordinary rats can access, but those truly precious, truly scarce blood mushrooms, those without a trace of impurities, the brightest, and highest quality blood mushrooms, as well as those bi-colored blood mushrooms.

These things are things that ordinary ratmen will never be able to touch, and they are held high by the ratman lords.

It is so precious that it is hard to refuse.

Shu Zhan didn't know that the groups of ratmen captains under him were competing with each other for the things they enjoyed that were almost as good as his.

Precious pure-colored blood mushrooms, two-colored blood mushrooms, various fine utensils, and novel objects were all enjoyed by those inconspicuous ratman captains.

Who is he? He is a real big shot in the Ratman Empire, second only to the White Rat in terms of God's favor. But those lowly guys, yes, those lowly guys.

Shu Zhan looked down on those rat warlords, so there were these nondescript rat captains. Who the hell were they?

This group of lowly guys are also eating the two-colored blood mushrooms.

Poor Shengqi can't even reach this meal standard.

But they savor these hard-earned gifts from God every day.

The rat lords made them infected with diseases of affluence. They played with those exquisite and rare objects, and chewed these hard-earned gifts from gods, as if they had become big shots themselves. It felt so good.

But everything has a price.

The rat lords are not philanthropists. They eat so much food, those truly precious gifts from the gods.

The money they have to pay is their own lives.

One-fifth of the ratmen squad leaders and almost all the ratmen priests in the Eastern Expeditionary Force joined the rebellion at this moment.

What’s even more terrible is that almost all war machines are in the hands of the ratmen priests.

At the moment of rebellion they turned their guns on their own people.

The lightning cannon that fell with a piercing roar caught the ratman supervisors off guard.

What followed was the continuous influx of rebellious rats. These rat squads that betrayed the Rat War often had better equipment and support from the rat lords.

They generally wear full sets of armor, hold better weapons, have more blood mushrooms and stronger physical fitness brought by these blood mushrooms, and more importantly, they are the army that once served under Rat Zhan.

The military forces in the hands of the rat-men priests generally have an unavoidable problem: extremely low combat effectiveness and fragile morale. This situation is closely related to the self-righteous attitude of these rat-men priests.

But the ratmen army that was corrupted from the Eastern Expeditionary Force did not have this concern. These guys had already been tempered and were ready for use. Coupled with the support of the ratmen lords, these rebellious guys became even more dangerous.

Well, it’s not just Shu Zhan who hasn’t forgotten his grudges with the rat priests, these guys who have turned into rat lords have also never forgotten their grudges with Shu Zhan.

The two sides are old enemies.

The rebellious rats began to fight with the supervisory team.

The ratmen supervisory teams were not completely wiped out in the bombardment of the lightning cannon. In the intersecting gaps and on the edge areas, many of them survived.

But these stunned guys obviously didn't react until the fully armed ratman rebels rushed over.

In this messy battlefield, the dull rats' eyes gradually turned red. They have always been the absolute supporters of Rat War, ever since Rat War was willing to accept them. Rat War changed their fate and made them no longer exist as a defective product, becoming the kind of poor guys who were destined to be eliminated as soon as they were born.

In return they also offered absolute loyalty to Shu Zhan.

They didn't understand what was happening or what the situation was, but they had only one duty: to stop all the retreating ratmen.

However, the outcome of this would not be very good. They had to face too many traitors, too many. It was no longer just one supervisory team facing one hundred ratmen, but one supervisory team facing one thousand ratmen. It was impossible to win.

However, the few surviving ratmen supervisors still chose to move forward.

The remaining ratman supervisory team was torn to pieces by these traitors.

The Ratman Supervisory Team was completely wiped out.

The situation on the battlefield changed all of a sudden. Shu Zhan let out a loud roar. Obviously, he had not expected that those rat lords whose spines were broken and who were kneeling down to the white rat, those cowards whom he looked down upon, would continue to choose to extend their claws towards him without hesitation at this moment.

And it's so deadly.

The Crusades noticed the chaos within the Eastern Expeditionary Force and pressed forward without hesitation. In the chaos, those rat warriors who were still somewhat confused, those rat guys who had just been running wildly with excitement, suffered heavy blows.

Shu Zhan wanted to deal with the rebels, but how could Caesar, who was entangled with him, let go of such a good opportunity? He attacked them without hesitation, but what greeted them was Shu Zhan's terribly red eyes.

"Get away! Bugs!"

Loud roar.

Caesar did not stop, and Shu Zhan threw the scarlet spear in his hand out in boundless anger.

Throwing with all his strength, the scarlet spear almost turned into a blood-red light, and Caesar was unable to even react.

The holy objects on his body saved his life. The scarlet spear was heading for Caesar's chest, but was repeatedly blocked by the burst of light and the solidity of the breastplate itself. Finally, it was deflected by the curved breastplate and hit Caesar's left shoulder heavily.

This scarlet spear itself is not a particularly good weapon. It was just smelted out in ruins and blood by accident.

At least in terms of material, it cannot compare to the holy objects on Caesar's body.

The shattering occurred, cracks began to spread, and the scarlet spear began to disintegrate in the impact, but the scarlet spear finally completed its mission.

The boundless anger of Shuzhan was transferred to Caesar. Caesar was thrown high into the air by the attack and fell heavily to the ground. He struggled to get up, but he was unable to straighten up for a while due to the severe pain.

The scarlet spear, broken into half, pierced through Caesar's left shoulder armor and nailed him to the ground.

It was at this moment that Shu Zhan finally freed his hands.

Behind him, the rebels were frantically slaughtering those ignorant ratmen warriors.

It’s not that there aren’t people who are loyal to the Rat War.

Fortunately, apart from those stupid guys, there are people who are loyal to the Rat War.

After coming to their senses, the other rats in the Eastern Expeditionary Force engaged in a crazy fight with the rebels.

Almost all the young ratmen stood on the side of Rat War.

Most of the elite ratmen stood on the side of the Rat War.

Even among the ratmen priests, not all of them chose to betray. Many Big Claw priests chose to be loyal to the Rat War.

The Rat War is already a legend, a legend recognized by all rat people.

Perhaps Shu Zhan himself does not care about this, but if he can return to that vast grassland, return to that grassland city that has gradually become majestic, if he raises his arms and shouts there, there will be countless rat people willing to respond to him.

Those rat mercenaries, those rat free people, they would all be willing to follow him.

This is the fate of the Rat War.

It was precisely because of these reasons that the rat lords were willing to abandon so many blood mushrooms and spend so much energy to launch this rebellion at this time.

Because of this irresistible destiny, the most elite forces of the Ratman Empire gathered in the two dark fortresses.

On the boundless ocean, near the sea cliff, the outline of a huge fleet appeared and began to wander in this sea area.

All the ratmen are afraid. All the ratmen lurking and waiting in the darkness are afraid.

Afraid of Shuzhan, this guy is too dazzling.

So he must die.

But he is a rat after all.

He freed his hands, looked back and turned around, and the fight between the rebels and the Eastern Expeditionary Force came to a halt amid the swaying black flags.

On the battlefield, countless ratmen set their sights on Shu Zhan.

Fanatical, excited, fearful, trembling, and awed.

Rat Zhan did not do anything else but just walked step by step towards those rebellious ratmen and those frenzied ratmen priests, and everything gradually quieted down.

The rebellion is almost over, this is a rat war.

One of the most dazzling ratmen in the old times, his deeds span almost half of the history of the Ratman Empire.

Until a ratman squeezed out from the rebels.

He shouted loudly to Shuzhan with trembling and fear.

"We are willing to kneel before you, Commander-in-Chief. We are willing to submit to you again, Commander-in-Chief. As long as you promise not to kill us, we are willing to return to your command once again.

Great Commander! Great Commander! "

At this moment, the ratmen rebels knelt down and bowed their heads to their great commander.

The rebellion, for which the rat lords had spent countless blood mushrooms, thoughts and plans, seemed to have been quelled just like that.

The expressions on the faces of all the rat priests present were filled with unspeakable fear at this moment.

There is no doubt that even if Rat War is willing to let go of those rebellious rat warriors and those rat squad leaders, they probably will not survive and they will definitely be hanged.

The expressions on their faces became extremely ugly at this moment, and some desperate guys began to curse randomly.

"You fools, you lowly fellows who are worse than goblins!
Do you think you can survive! Do you think you can survive! Idiot! Idiot! "

Hysterical screaming.

On the battlefield, the Crusades were still pressing forward. The rats on the front line were on the verge of collapse under such an impact, and the battle situation could not withstand such a delay.

With just a nod, Rat War would be able to integrate the divided Eastern Expeditionary Force again, and also to gather together the rat warriors who had received huge investments from the rat lords.

This is not a difficult thing to do.

Just a nod is all that's needed.

So what are the options for Rat Wars?

Shu Zhan, standing on the battlefield, uttered these words expressionlessly.

"I will hang you all."

Yes, how could this arrogant guy accept betrayal?
