From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 364: Raising an army, investing, and rushing to the battlefield

The black rat man began to struggle.

Shout loudly towards the flag.

"Help me! Help me!"

The loud shout successfully made Qi stop and stop in front of the thin guy.

The big-clawed priest who was shouting loudly saw Qi approaching and wanted to step forward to sell his product, but after seeing Qi's ordinary appearance, his gaze decisively stopped on a ratman priest who was passing by. The man was wearing snow-white fur and holding a blood-gold staff with intricately carved patterns in his hand.

The inconspicuous appearance of the flag is indeed not very attractive, at least not as attractive as the passing ratman priest.

Flag was able to pause in front of the dark rat man without being disturbed.

The upside-down hanging position made the guy look a little cramped and embarrassed.

However, he deserved his current situation. After returning to the Ratman Kingdom, the first thing he did was to slaughter all the ratmen in a ruined settlement in order to obtain enough supplies.

The price he paid was that he was surrounded by angry rat farmers with their own private armies. In a chaotic battle, the dark rat who had originally been sure of victory was beaten dizzy by the attacks of those rat gun teams.

Finally, he was captured and sold in a humiliating manner.

He really wanted to fight to the death, but after having more than ten spears pointed at his head, he chose to surrender reluctantly.

At this moment, he anxiously asked for help from the flag in front of him. If he continued to be hung like this, he would probably not survive for more than a few days.

But Qi just stared at him and did not take any further action.

"I am willing to be driven by you, I am willing to pay the price for my life, save me, please save me!"

After hearing this, Qi was truly moved. In the next war, he really needed a cannon fodder.

The dark ratman in front of him was undoubtedly a qualified cannon fodder. No matter what, he was once a ratman warlord and possessed value.

Qi finally sold out the black ratman, but did not give him the blood mushroom. Instead, he presented a certificate made of blood gold. This certificate was given to him by the temple guards to mobilize resources.

Very directly, this Big Claw Priest, who originally looked down on the flag and even had some contempt for it, showed a bit of flattery on his face. He nimbly climbed up the shelf and cut the ropes that bound the dark rat man.

In the dull sound.

The dark ratman fell heavily to the ground and struggled to get up, but he did not surrender to the flag immediately. Instead, he dragged out a big sword full of gaps from the messy pile of debris on the side.

It can be seen that this guy is by no means completely submissive, his eyes are full of defiance, but he is not stupid and lowers his head to the flag.

"Heimao is willing to be commanded by you!"

In this way, the flag had an extra adjutant.

New army, new army, what does the new army have?

You can get everything. The temple guards have given out too many things, and there are too many things piled up behind the twin fortresses.

I was almost dazzled by the selection of flags.

But he still forced himself to calm down. Even if he wanted everything, he still had to make a choice.

The next thing to attack is a fortress.

The things you choose need to have a specific focus.

Siege equipment, soul spears, enough soul ore, giant rats, rat trolls, and storm rats responsible for dragging the siege equipment. Steam tanks were not chosen because the undulating mountains are not the home turf of these steel behemoths.

It took almost no time for the 150,000-strong rat army to be raised up. Among them, the number of Storm Rats was not large, only 5,000. These guys who had just emerged in the Rat Empire were in the limelight recently, so they were urgently needed. Even behind the twin fortresses, there were not many stockpiles.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that this new ratman army under Qi’s control doesn’t seem to have expanded much in size, but its combat effectiveness is much higher than Qi’s previous army.

But it is not enough. The 150,000-strong rat army is far from enough.

To face the current battlefield, it is far from enough to rely solely on ratmen warriors, deformed ratmen and storm rats. Other forces are also needed, such as the Big Claw Priest Engineering Team and slave rats.

They are an indispensable part of this battlefield.

The temple guards are unable to provide these either.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Big Claw Priests always show a humble attitude towards everyone, as they can be dismissed at will and called upon at will. In fact, their relationship with each party is mostly based on cooperation.

If Qi wants to make up for this part, it depends on his own ability.

Not long after, among the noisy ruins at the edge of the bustling market, Qi found what he was looking for.

The bustling ruins of every Skaven city seemed to be the same.

A messy environment, a rotten wooden board full of scratches standing up, a large number of ratmen of various kinds gathered here, and a calm ratman.

When Qi entered the area, there was a burst of cheers inside, and the rats were cheering for a guy who puffed out his chest.

"Crooked teeth, the crooked teeth of a bear hunter!"

Another name was crossed out on the old wooden board.

The rat man with his chest puffed out was really suitable for his name, with a pair of crooked front teeth.

Shouting loudly with excitement.

"Me! I'm Crooked Teeth, the bear hunter! That's me! That's me!"

It can be seen that he was extremely excited about such a scene.

In excitement.

"Everyone, everyone on the field, a glass of mushroom juice, I'll pay!"

The cheers became louder.

Until the flag arrives.

The tall storm rats broke into this place rudely. These well-trained guys were better able to maintain order and arrogance than ordinary ratmen.

They pushed away the ratmen blocking their way and formed two neat teams, raising their heads high. These guys simply looked down on the ratmen gathered in front of them. Among them, Qi appeared.

Suddenly, the field fell silent.

After all, the Noisy Ruins were merely a gathering place for some low-level ratmen, and no serious big shots had ever appeared in such a place.

The flag took a step forward.

He took a step towards the center of the noisy ruins.

The old rat man who had been calm and composed all this time knelt down towards the flag.

It was obvious that he was filled with fear of the sudden visit of the rat warlord.

Everything is full of condescending meaning.

The Storm Rats took this scene for granted. These guys who had received professional training and graduated from the Rat University were indeed very arrogant.

Especially for those ordinary ratmen. To be honest, this is not a good habit, and it even affects sales. Only those serious ratmen priests, temple guards and ratmen warlords can command them.

Qi was not used to this kind of arrogance.

Because after these arrogant guys realized that he didn't have any outstanding achievements in this war, they looked at him with a little more scrutiny.

The ratmen warriors he sent to command them were simply unable to command them.

This did not satisfy Qi.

Compared to being incorporated into the rat army, these guys seem to be more willing to serve as the personal guards of a flag, or in other words, to serve as the personal guards of a rat warlord, which makes them flock to it.

It is not the flag itself that commands them, but the title of the flag's Skaven Warlord.

Qi did not stay in this noisy ruins for long. When he left, he left behind a bag of blood mushrooms and an order.

The rat man who got up from the ground held the bag of blood mushrooms in his hand, staring at the flag flying away, and seemed to have thought of something.

Overall, the flag does not appear to be that domineering.

This is a very critical point.

More importantly, Banner is the only remaining Skaven warlord to have survived the last Great Crusade.

Shu Zhan did not leave nothing behind, although he himself might not know what he had left behind.

This is not a pretense, but a real situation. After all, when that arrogant guy was still alive, he didn't even look at those lowly guys who were regarded as dust.

He probably wouldn't have thought of it.

After his death, it was precisely these lowly guys, whom he had never looked down upon, who organized a force and spared no effort to search for his body.

The Rat Army composed of dull rats that was wreaking havoc on the northern coast of the Human Empire, the largest rat mercenary group in history, was formed with the support of these lowly guys.

Among them, these inconspicuous and noisy ruins played a big role.

Not long after, an elderly big-claw priest took the initiative to appear in front of Qi, not only bringing Qi a professional big-claw priest engineering team, but also providing Qi with a reselling channel.

Qi was not rich now, and the temple guards did not provide him with much more than resources.

Obviously, hiring these big-clawed priests with slave rats cannot be free. Blood mushrooms need to be paid, but there are no blood mushrooms on the current flag.

Then reselling the supplies in hand becomes a necessary behavior.

Large quantities of soul guns, giant rats, and rat trolls were exchanged for blood mushrooms by Qi through this reselling channel.

In addition to hiring this engineering team of Big Claw Priests, Qi also hired two more rat mercenaries as servants to transport supplies for him. At the same time, a slave-catching team also took the initiative to find Qi and was willing to serve as his guide.

Faintly, it seemed that a group of guys were actively showing goodwill to Qi.

Qi didn't know where all this kindness came from, but he ate it all.

After a short period of preparation, Qi set off with his troops.

Rushing to the front line.

Qi didn't figure out who was showing him kindness, but he didn't take the initiative to find out.

In fact, if there is any group of people who are more eager for the emergence of a great commander again, it may not be the current rat warlords, but the group of lowly guys hiding in the corners.

The Skaven Priests and Skaven Lords do their utmost to monopolize any output from the battlefield.

Life is becoming increasingly difficult for the free ratfolk.

All of this makes them miss that arrogant guy, that arrogant commander.

………….

Under the leadership of this rat-man slave-hunting team, Qi led the rat-man army in his hands and marched quickly.

Getting closer to the destination.

Qi is busy running in the army under his command.

In order to win over the hearts of the people, and also because of his disgust for the arrogant Storm Rats, he dismissed the Storm Rats in front of all the rat warriors under his command, and handed them all to his new adjutant, Black Hair. He also gathered the rat warriors who survived the valley raid and appointed them as his new personal guards.

At this moment, under the gaze of all the ratmen warriors under his command.

Qi personally assigned the responsibility of personal guard to the group of guys in front of him who were of mixed quality. Yes, they were of mixed quality. These guys, his former subordinates, might not be as good as the worst group of young ratmen among the ratmen army he had just recruited from the Twin Fortresses.

Yes, it is that unbearable.

With that divine gift, the new generation of rats have generally improved their physical fitness compared to the previous generation.

And the technology in the breeding house is constantly improving.

The progress of mother breeding and the increasingly bloody battlefield have allowed the breeding houses to get rid of the terrifying internal circulation of unlimited breeding numbers to a certain extent, and instead focus on breeding better quality young ratmen.

Of course, these immoral guys also abandoned more strange-looking mother bodies that were far from being scrapped in the corners of the city, creating batches of wild ratmen wandering in the dark corners of the rat city.

But what if they can't beat the worst group of young ratmen in the rat army?

At this moment, Qi still bestowed the honor, blood mushroom, status, and all these things to his old subordinates who followed him without hesitation.

Under the watchful eyes of all the ratmen under his command.

Those unqualified fellows, a mixture of good and bad ratmen, his former subordinates, were extremely fanatical at this moment.

Even if the flag asked them to die in the next moment, they would probably do it without hesitation.

Qi fulfilled his promise today and gained their complete loyalty.

And it's not just their loyalty, either.

The frenzy also spread to all the rats present along with the eyes that were watching this place.

The prestige of the flag has been greatly improved in this army.

Although they are not yet able to use the flag as an arm, most of the ratmen warriors have been ignited with desire and expectation by the flag.

Except for the storm rats.

They hated it so much that their teeth were almost itching.

Such a scene was certainly a humiliation for them.

Just adhering to their professionalism, they still chose to submit to the name of the rat warlord, but it was not an easy task to get them to cooperate in the battle.

But it's not a big problem.

They didn't know what was waiting for them yet, their new commander, a dwarf ratman who looked unremarkable, a rare ratman who used a greatsword, and a former ratman warlord who was relatively capable of fighting.
