From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 74, Dark Blade

Soon, Shu Zhan commanded his rat warlords to lift up the two guys who were tied up like dumplings and happily set off towards the temple.

But not long after, he appeared outside the temple again with a look of regret on his face.

Bai Shu did not agree to cancel the square formation, or rather, Shu Zhan did not dare to mention it. After sending these two unlucky guys up, Shu Zhan stammered and was unable to speak.

It looks like he still needs to send a guard over. Damn it, he hates the phalanx.

Shu Zhan was very upset.

As for those two unlucky guys, Shu Zhan didn't take them seriously at all. The old guy came in just to seduce him. What a joke! If a rebellion could succeed so easily, then the long tail who had been in charge of logistics for so many years would have been killed.

This group of guys wanted to drag me down with them. As a smart mouse, could I, Shu Zhan, fall for this?
The decisive thing to do was to tie up the stupid rat priest and the young but equally stupid rat warlord and send them directly to the white rat.

But Shuzhan still had to worry about that damn stupid phalanx.

Shu Zhan left with a sad face.

Not long after, a group of special ratmen warriors emerged from the temple and disappeared into this huge and chaotic underground city along the complex tunnel network.

It was obvious that a brutal purge had begun ahead of schedule.

………….

Not long after, a large number of priests were suddenly captured. Those special rat warriors, in groups of five, targeted and captured every rat priest who was involved in the brewing rebellion.

No matter where these rat priests hid, or whether they were surrounded by rat troops, the result was the same.

Those once noble rat priests were now tied up with long ropes like slave rats, and were slowly paraded all the way to the rat temple.

The journey was not peaceful, and even a team of ratman temple guards were caught up in the turmoil and launched a rescue operation for the ratman priests who were strangled together.

In the dark tunnel
A group of rat-men priests staggered forward with terrified expressions on their faces.

Among them, the ratman priest who was tied up first kept making various promises while begging.

Blood mushrooms, positions, sacrifices, and perhaps more, were all thrown out like they were free.

These were nothing to him in the past. A day ago, he was a senior ratman priest who was responsible for presiding over the sacred sacrificial ceremony in front of the great altar of the gods in the temple.

What an honor it is. You know, the biggest wish of the Big Claw Priest who was born in the outpost of the desolate mountains may be to come to the center of this prosperous underground city and kneel down devoutly to the great god in the temple.

He can almost be regarded as the most powerful rat priest in the Rat Empire, second only to the White Rats.

But now, he was stumbling forward in the tunnel, being dragged by the rough rope tied around his neck.

The mottled light from the rough, yellow candles in the tunnel shone on his face, reflecting an expression of panic and fear.

It was totally unlike the expression of a big man who once held tremendous power. He looked like a terrified rat.

Along the way, the ratmen passing by saw this scene and hurriedly moved away, fearing that they would be involved in any relationship with this priest who was once high and mighty.

In their haste, one of the ratmen took a wrong step and stepped into a pitch-black shadow.

The next second, the ratman fell to the ground, with a shallow bloodstain on his neck. The ratman who didn't die on the spot wanted to make some sound, but the throat that was cut and leaking air made him only make a weak whimper. In the shadow he accidentally stepped into, a ratman appeared from the darkness, kicked the poor guy away, and then disappeared into the shadow again.

The ratmen troops sent out by White Rat this time were extremely special, and had never even shown any trace in the Ratman Empire before.

But this was undoubtedly their first appearance and it was a real big scene.

This special group of ratmen did not use the spears used by ordinary ratmen warriors, or even the most elite temple guards in the ratman kingdom.

The short dagger was painted black as a weapon, which was also very easy to hide. The frail body was not covered with any armor, and he simply relied on his nimble posture to maneuver during the attack.

When a captured rat priest was attacked, there were a large number of slave rats around him. However, the slave rats didn't even have time to react before these mysterious rat warriors broke through and easily captured the rat priest.

Moreover, this special group of ratmen warriors are not afraid of berserk spells. No matter whether it is berserk aura or killing aura, even if it acts on these guys, it will not show any effect.

They are also extremely good at running in the dark.

It’s not quite appropriate to call these guys warriors. They are undoubtedly a group of real assassins, and highly targeted assassins at that.

Their targets were obviously not those hateful heretics with hard scales and thick skin.

Instead, they are a group of guys who don't have very strong melee capabilities, are often surrounded by many people to protect them, and also have many berserk skills.

Who are these guys?
Undoubtedly, from today onwards, this group of rat-man assassins will become a cause of worry and fear for all priests in the rat-man kingdom.

At the same time, their appearance will also calm the silent ripples that are quickly spreading among the rat priests because of the white rats' active distribution of rights.

This group of rat assassins will turn into hidden blades in the hands of white rats, displaying the silent terror and intimidation, and bringing about absolute stability on the surface.

At least after this cleansing, all problems will be temporarily resolved.

All thoughts that should not be thought of must be calmed down, and all actions that should not be taken must be eliminated.

These rat-man priests who were captured and ultimately died or were sacrificed are the best deterrent.

But before that, these rat-men assassins have to solve a not-so-small problem before they can become qualified dark blades.

A team of temple guards had blocked the end of the tunnel ahead at some point.

Obviously, the power of the former big man has not completely dissipated at this time, and it even attracted a team of powerful temple guards who were supposed to be stationed in the temple and not ask about anything other than the great god, and worship the god most devoutly.

In fact, theoretically speaking, these temple guards are also sharp blades in the hands of White Rat. As the high priest, White Rat is the supreme leader of all the ratman temple guards.

Rat warriors were selected and sent out by white rats from the temple guard team.

This group of newly revealed rat-man assassins is the same, except that one is in the open and the other is in the dark.

But at this moment, the two were fighting each other in a narrow tunnel.

Pairs of red eyes appeared in the darkness of the tunnel and cast their gazes towards the temple guards not far away.
