From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 73, Underground Rat City (Monthly Ticket Plus 411)

In the center of the desolate mountains, as the slave rats worked day and night to dig, a huge underground city gradually took shape.

The extensive underground tunnels connect the cavities carved out of the mountains.

Thick trees were felled from the forest and dragged underground to become support pillars throughout the underground tunnels, as well as materials for the exhaust devices that spread like a spider web.

Groups of slave rats bowed their bodies humbly and ran in the tunnels under the command of their caretakers, the rat priests who had claws as thick and sharp as theirs.

In the occasional pauses, you can hear the slave rat and the big claw priest praying to the gods in a low voice.

Both of them were despised by the rat priests without thick claws. They raised their wooden sticks towards the big-clawed priests as if in a provocation. At this time, the big-clawed priests would also bow down humbly.

At this moment, their expressions were no different from those of the slave rats under his care.

At this time, a group of young ratmen who had secretly escaped from the breeding room ran happily through the tunnel, accompanied by angry and sharp curses behind them.

It was the guardian mouse that was chasing us.

The slave rats and the big claw priests couldn't help but cast their eyes towards the group of young ratmen running past with happy expressions on their faces. It was a complex look filled with a mixture of envy, jealousy and regret.

Only the normal ratman priest remained indifferent, sneering as he held his wooden staff.

Groups of rats traveling through the tunnels form this prosperous underground city.

The Rat Zhan who had just returned was also walking among them.

He left the temple angrily and traveled through the winding tunnels, stopping in an empty underground cavity.

There was undisguised anger on his face.

He felt that he had been deceived by the old fellow Bai Shu. The clause that had been agreed upon before that every ratman priest would be able to get a place as a member of the temple priest group was directly wiped out by the old fellow.

He was only willing to give out three places.

Three places are not enough!
In order to get the three places, they wanted him to present the Spear of Divine Punishment respectfully, and also to reduce the rank of the commander-in-chief by one level.

This is not enough! This is definitely not enough!
What made Shu Zhan almost grit his teeth was that he agreed. Even when he was standing at the door of the temple, a lot of words and conditions flashed through his mind.

Even though Shuzhan has become the commander-in-chief of the rat warriors.

But when he actually stood in front of the white rat, he could not say anything, just like an ordinary timid and cowardly ratman.

He stood in front of the white rat and nodded hesitantly, agreeing to everything!

He agreed to the three places, he agreed to hand over the Spear of Divine Punishment, and he even agreed to bring his little brothers, the rat warlords, and a team of soldiers to the sacrificial ceremony, holding up the battle flag he had presented to the gods, and forming a square formation to deliver the Spear of Divine Punishment!
Damn it! Damn it!
Before anyone knew it, the cunning warlord, Shu Zhan, who was running rampant in the Lizardmen's wetlands and making the Lizardmen run around in circles, had become furious.

"Damn it! How could I agree to that old guy's square formation? Damn it!"

Thinking of how he had just nodded and bowed weakly, Shu Zhan became angrier and angrier after he came out.

His eyes turned red with anger.

Facts have proved that Shu Zhan is very afraid of white rats. He can't be tough in front of the white rats at all. Although he is very unconvinced, he always looks honest in front of the white rats.

As a rat who once worked under Bai Shu and had received certain affirmation and trust from Bai Shu, he knew very well what kind of guy his old boss was.

Instinctively fearful. There was no other way out now, no way out, the only thing left was to set up that damned square formation at the sacrificial ceremony.

After Wuneng's rage, no matter how reluctant Bai Shu was, he had to accept his fate. He brought the Spear of Divine Punishment and the battle flag, and his group of younger brothers were also with him.

But it is obviously not enough for Shuzhan and his brothers to form a square formation.

Shu Zhan was thinking about transferring some of his personal guards over.

Just as he was lost in thought, a ratman warlord in the empty cavity moved his eyes.

And moved closer to the Shu Zhan who was in deep thought.

"Boss, Boss, did the high priest give you any trouble?"

A sudden voice interrupted Shu Zhan's thoughts. He raised his head and looked to the side, at the rat warlord who was sneaking towards him.

Noncommittal answer.

"Ok?"

The rat warlord showed excitement on his face after receiving this answer.

"Boss, Boss! I met an old priest outside the temple today, and he wants to see you!"

The rat warlord was very happy because he felt like pie was falling from the sky.

Today, he was just walking around when an old priest came over and stuffed blood mushrooms into his arms without saying anything. Although as a rat warlord, he was not short of blood mushrooms, who would complain about having too much of this stuff?

Moreover, the blood mushrooms given by this old priest were the purest and best ones, with almost no trace of other colors in the red blood mushrooms.

He accepted it without hesitation and also took over a job from the old priest.

All he needs to do is recommend the old priest to their boss when their boss shows dissatisfaction with the White Rat High Priest.

Faintly, he also felt something was wrong, but it didn't matter. He was just an introducer, how much risk could he take?
And the old priest gave out so many blood mushrooms.

There are too many, and what they promised were all pure red blood mushrooms, which led to the current conversation.

"Boss, there is a ratman priest who wants to see you!"

As soon as these words came out, Shu Zhan became a little interested.

"Oh! I want to see my old priest. Do you know where that old guy is?"

"I know, I know! Boss, do you want to see him?"

"You can meet him, but tell that old guy that I won't meet him. If he wants to meet, he has to come and see me!"

"Okay! Boss! I'm going to call that old priest right away!"

This poor ratman, who had just become a ratman warlord and had not seen much of the world, was still immersed in the surprise of getting a large number of blood mushrooms out of thin air. However, he did not notice that his old rat Zhan had already rolled his eyes.

A look of surprise appeared on Shu Zhan's face.

He was worried that the white rats would only give him three places, and even after his rat warlords had fled frantically in the wetlands for a few days and lost two unlucky guys, there were still four places left, one more!
