From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 53, Old Enlightenment City

Amid the howling, a group of rats gathered under a tall war flag and charged towards the huge city in front of them amid a chaotic sound.

A high platform was simply constructed with thick timber. Shu Zhan stood on the platform that was lifted with great effort by many young rats, waving the battle flag of God in one hand and the Spear of Divine Punishment in the other.

A sharp cry!
"For the gods!"

The ratmen below responded enthusiastically.

"For the gods!"

"Praise be to the gods!"

"The gods are the most powerful! Kill them! Kill them!"

There were noisy calls from the huge group of rats, and they charged towards the city in front of them.

But today's battle is not so easy, because the ratman army has found the second largest city of the Lizardmen.

The city that was originally planned to be built as the capital, although its status was lost in the end due to the discovery of the incubator, but the city that had once cost a lot of resources and was half built was completed.

There is no doubt that this is a city that is ahead of its time and the second largest city of the Lizardmen. The swamp has been leveled and solidified into rock by divine magic, and the tall city walls are formed in one piece, connecting with the swamp.

Densely packed watchtowers stretch from outside the city to the top of the city walls.

However, even though they had such a tall city, the Lizardmen were still caught off guard when facing the approaching army of ratmen.

The desperate Rat War rushed in so fast after abandoning its logistical supplies that it arrived here in almost no time.

The Lizardmen were held back by the Snakemen and Gnolls, and were unable to effectively stop the Ratman army in the wetlands. They could only allow the Ratmen to advance rapidly, arriving here after sweeping away a large number of small settlements and cities.

The Lizardmen named this tall and sturdy city the Old City of Revelation, meaning the city that once carried the revelations of God.

And today, Shuzhan is going to lead the rat army to charge towards the Old Qi City in front of them.

The Lizardmen could undoubtedly no longer retreat, because beyond this Old City of Revelation was their true City of Divine Revelation, the land blessed by their gods, and their hatching pool.

Everything was done in a hurry, but fortunately, the Lizardmen finally completed their integration.

A large number of young lizardmen were taken out of the city by female lizardmen. The leader Huo with red scales climbed onto the city wall, and the snakemen carrying short bows and spears hid in the outpost.

Among them, the most conspicuous are naturally those tall lizardman warriors holding war clubs and wooden shields.

At the same time, a large number of troops were rushing to their positions in chaos.

There is a bit of chaos in the city.

Because this army was originally a group of people who had hurriedly completed their integration, and then they brought the vanguard that had rushed over first.

The fire was moving very fast, but Rat War was even faster. When the fire just reached the Old Qi City, Rat War also arrived.

Most of the Lizardman troops that arrived in a hurry hadn't even adjusted themselves yet, and the ratmen were already roaring in.

The dense swarms of rats immediately overwhelmed the densely packed watchtowers outside the city, and then directly slammed into the city walls.

At this time, the scarlet light lit up, and the ratman priests took action, and large-scale berserk magic was directly cast on the vanguard of the ratman army.

In this way, the rats will not panic and try to flee the battlefield because of the fear that will come later.

Faced with this tall city wall, the rats naturally had no particularly good solution. But fortunately, the rat army led by Shu Zhan still had a huge number.

It can also withstand wear and tear.

That is the easiest way.

Use the number of people to pile up!
Under the waving battle flags and driven by the rat warlords and the supervision team, the rat army abandoned any formation and just rushed forward madly until they slammed into the tall city wall and stopped.

But at this time, the only ones who stopped were the ratmen in the front row who were inflicted with the frenzy effect. They waved their wooden spears wildly, attacking the city wall in front of them in vain.

But the ratmen behind them did not stop. Under the pressure of the supervisory team, they could only climb onto the head of the ratman in front. Then when they were frightened and wanted to escape, the priests cast a berserk spell on them, waving their weapons wildly.

In this way, layer after layer of ratmen were piled up.

More and more weight was placed on the ratmen who served as stepping stones, until the desire to survive overcame the frenzy imposed by the berserk spell.

But it was too late now. Amidst the layers of stacking, there was no room for these stepping stone ratmen to struggle. Even their screams of fear were drowned out by the layers of stacked ratmen, and not a single sound could escape.

Just like that, in a very short time, a compacted siege slope appeared.

The rats rushed up the Rat Slope and directly crashed into the city defenders who were still in a bit of confusion.

In this rush, the Lizardman warrior was the first to react and engaged in a melee with the Ratman warriors who had climbed onto the city wall, and even pushed the Ratmen back onto the siege slope.

He was caught off guard but did not fall behind, which is an excellent performance.

However, the snakemen and gnolls mixed in the city walls did not perform so well.

The snakemen's melee combat ability is not as strong as that of the lizardmen, and they are easily killed on the spot by the experienced ratmen warriors who rush up the city wall.

He didn't even have time to draw the short bow in his hand.

Then, these veteran ratmen warriors who killed the snakemen will be able to free up their hands.

The scattered Lizardman warriors faced attacks from all directions. Soon, these brave Lizardman warriors had to retreat after many of them were killed.

The rat people rushed forward.

Of course, these snake people were not the biggest surprise. The biggest surprise was a group of dog-headed people holding wooden sticks who had just climbed onto the city wall.

Unfortunately, this group of ogres collided directly with the ratmen who were climbing the city wall, and most of them were killed. When the subsequent lizardman warriors arrived and rescued this group of ogres.

Their number is no longer half of what it was at the beginning.

But even so, when these gnolls who were blinded by the charge came to their senses from their fear, the terrifying fireballs began to flash on the battlefield.

These kobold wizards also possess the ability to cast spells, and unlike the rat-man priests who specialize in berserk magic, the spells they master are real offensive spells.

Fist-sized fireballs were fired amid the angry howls of these kobold wizards.

The rats that climbed up the city wall were directly blown to pieces.

The precarious situation was reversed in an instant.

In just a moment, more ratmen came up again, and soon they filled up all the standing space on this section of the city wall.
