From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 47, Dragon Might

Mixed integration into the team, collective punishment for desertion, and the merit system.

All the old hands were shuffled and divided into teams, with small teams consisting of five ratmen each, and then these small teams formed into large formations.

Each team will have a senior ratman warrior and four young ratmen.

If the young ratmen fled on the battlefield, the senior ratmen warriors would be implicated as well and would be turned into slave rats without any chance of escape.

Moreover, if the young ratmen escape, these senior ratmen will be punished as well. However, if they kill the young ratmen who want to escape directly on the battlefield, these senior ratmen will not be punished at all.

Such restrictions ensure that these old hands will not be the first to escape on the battlefield.

And they were made to actively maintain the formation. In order to prevent themselves from becoming humble and desperate slave rats, these old foxes would choose to directly execute those young ratmen who wanted to escape on the battlefield, using death to deter those young long-tailed guys.

And that’s not all.

If mixed integration into the team and collective punishment are deterrents, then the merit system is a reward and a carrot.

The Rat War has established rules. When a young rat kills an enemy, he will be promoted to an official rat warrior. When a rat warrior kills ten enemies, he will become a senior rat warrior.

A senior ratman warrior can obtain a blood mushroom by killing three enemies.

If you go one step further and can kill a hundred enemies in a war of gods, then you can become a new ratman warlord.

At first, all the ratmen warriors were a little skeptical about such a reward.

Until on the way to the Lizardman Wetlands, Shu Zhan led his rat army and attacked a small goblin tribe fleeing from the forest.

It was just a small goblin tribe, and even the young ratmen had the courage to face the goblin tribe head-on with spears in hand.

However, Shuzhan generously gave out one hundred blood mushrooms, and he gave them in front of all the ratmen warriors. When the bright blood mushrooms were taken out, they immediately attracted the attention of all the ratmen present, whether they were young ratmen, ratmen warriors, or those veteran ratmen warriors.

Even some of the Skaven warlords are no exception.
You can clearly hear the sound of swallowing saliva at that moment.

Just like that, blood mushrooms were given to them one by one, and some ratmen even got two or three blood mushrooms in their hands.

Oh my god, so many blood mushrooms!

Looking at so many blood mushrooms in front of him, even the veteran ratman warrior who had experienced the most battles and was still alive suddenly had red eyes.

After all, they used to only be able to eat the leftovers of the rat warlords.

There are no other means.

Just at this moment, all the veteran ratmen warriors, these old-timers who valued their lives, became motivated.

Think about the words of the newly appointed commander-in-chief. Yes, in the eyes of those most snobbish ratmen, the biggest leader of the ratmen army has already changed.

Think about it, I seem to be fighting for God now.

You only need to kill three lizardmen to get a blood mushroom. If you can kill a hundred lizardmen, you can become one of those leaders!

For the sake of blood mushrooms and also because of greed in his heart, some things changed.

Even though the Hundred Kills was more like a carrot hanging over their heads, these veteran ratmen warriors took the bait without hesitation. For most ratmen, if you let them choose between life and profit on the spot, they would choose life without hesitation, but if you put the choice in the future, these greedy guys would try to pursue profit.

And finally, he abandons his reverence for life and runs wildly on the road of satisfying his own desires that are full of ravines.

On the battlefield.

Even though the Lizardmen stabilized the front line with the coordination of their formation, there would still be some unexpected events in the face of the ratmen warriors that were surging like a wave.

He breathed a sigh of relief after killing a ratman warrior, or perhaps his movements were a little deformed due to the fatigue of swinging the stick in his hand continuously.

Just a flash will attract the attack of the veteran ratmen hidden in the ratman wave.

The wooden spears either pierced the eyes or stabbed the neck.

Or if there is a more patient ratman warrior, two of the three spears on his body will be sent into the feet or palms of the Lizardman warrior when the Lizardman warrior shows a flaw, leaving only the last one waiting for the last hunting opportunity.

Even with the exchange ratio of the ratmen, it is still unbearable to watch.

But the Lizardmen warriors were also gradually falling. Every time a Lizardmen warrior fell, it would cause a commotion among the ratmen. At this time.

Even those cowardly young ratmen would not hesitate to push aside their own kind and pounce on the fallen Lizardman warrior.

In order to bite off the tip of the fallen lizardman warrior's tail, this is something that can be exchanged for merit from the supervisory team.

In this situation, even if the companions around the fallen lizardman wanted to angrily drive away the rushing ratmen to protect the bodies of their companions, they could not do it.

Just like that, as the ratman army pressed forward step by step, gradually, the Lizardman's line began to become shaky, with the Lizardman warriors that kept falling down, and the ratmen that kept pouring in front of them that seemed endless and had not decreased at all.

It is constantly gnawing at the morale of these lizardmen.

The lizardman leader in the camp also noticed this and no longer needed to persist. There was no way to stop the group of ratmen in front of him by relying on these lizardman warriors in the camp.

After taking another look at the rat warrior at the rear of the rat army, the young lizardman grabbed his war club inlaid with gems and crocodile tail scales and jumped down from the wall of the camp.

As the fiery red scales on its body stood up one by one, a terrifying roar sounded in the formation of the ratman army.

In the range of the inexplicable pressure, all the ratmen began to flee in all directions, even those vicious and cunning senior ratmen warriors were no exception.

In an instant, the ratmen's formation became a little chaotic, and a large number of ratmen began to flee in the chaos.

However, this scene was quickly blocked by the supervisory team that fell behind all the ratmen.

Blocked by the sharp spears, all the fleeing ratmen were pushed back.

At the same time, the sound of priests chanting spells was heard from the ratman army.

With the help of the berserk spells and the supervision team, the formation of the rat army was reorganized.

But it was too late. The young Lizardman Huo had already taken advantage of the chaos and led the other Lizardmen in the camp to retreat deeper into the swamp.
