From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 77, Boar Rider

A huge black-haired wild boar was running through the forest, carrying a pigman knight wearing heavy armor.

Even though the knights on its back were covered in heavy metal armor that covered their entire bodies, it was obviously not a burden for the huge black-haired wild boar.

They carried these heavy knights and ran easily through the forest.

The ratman outposts that had already been clearly detected and marked were being destroyed quickly and purposefully.

The gods behind these knights have great ambitions.

In almost one day, most of the western corner of the vast forest was completely destroyed.

The howling boar riders easily destroyed the outposts where only a few ratmen were stationed, trying to cut off the ratmen's vision of the area.

But this group of guys obviously overlooked a more important direction.

That's underground.

Those underground nests hidden throughout the forest almost immediately transmitted the information of the appearance of this group of wild boar riders to the direction of the Desolate Mountains.

Rats were running rapidly in the underground tunnel, and that night the news was delivered to the ratman outpost at the outermost part of the Desolate Mountains.

It’s a pity that this didn’t attract much attention.

Recently, all the capable ratmen in the Ratman Kingdom have been swept into a huge vortex. They have gathered in the Underground Rat City, greedily and eagerly waiting for everything in the Underground Rat City to settle down. Other news are hardly paid attention to.

By accident, Du Yuan's malicious neighbor launched the invasion at almost the perfect time.

It is foreseeable that before the huge storm caused by the white rats in the underground rat city subsides, it will be difficult to organize a ratman army comparable to the scale of the expeditionary lizardmen to deal with the invasion of this guy.

Of course, this doesn't mean that there won't be mice that are anxious about this matter.

On the contrary, one of the ratmen was so anxious that he was almost going crazy.

In the ratman outpost, a ratman priest was scratching his head in anxiety as he faced the news that kept coming from the direction of the forest.

Yes, that group of damn guys, those group of greedy guys, those guys who thought they had a chance all went to the underground rat city. They could all witness the birth of the next generation of big men along with the distribution of power in front of that sacred temple!
But what about him! He can't!

At this time, in an underground cave deep in the ratman outpost, a young ratman priest was waving his arms angrily and violently.

He felt that he was extremely unlucky!

Even though the ratman outpost is indeed far inferior to the underground rat city where the great god's temple stands, it is huge, complex and prosperous.

But it also serves as the gateway to the Desolate Mountains, and is a huge fortress that was dug and built day and night by a large number of slave rats.

Moreover, the slave-hunting teams stationed here also attracted some powerful and prestigious rat priests.

After the senior priests who commanded the slave-hunting teams gathered here, they naturally became the actual managers of this fortress.

At this time, a slave-catching priest who held the greatest power in the rat-man fortress was roaring in anger and venting in panic. After a brief venting and roaring, he showed an expression of despair.

This is a young rat priest, his name is Shengqi, this name comes from the day when he awakened to become a rat priest, the rat priest who came to receive him in person just finished capturing slaves in the forest, a total of seven, those slaves were tied up with thick ropes. So his name was given.

The rope tied up seven slaves, so he became Rope Seven.

Sheng Qi gladly accepted it and did well afterwards.

The ratman priest who gave him this name was later fortunately promoted to a senior ratman priest.

He chose to stay, formed his own slave-catching team, and became one of the top managers of this rat fortress outpost.

And because his name was given by the old man, Sheng Qi naturally joined the team, and then the current situation came about.

His boss, that damn old guy, and other old guys went to the underground rat city to watch the fun, and he was left behind to temporarily manage the slave-catching team.

Originally, this was nothing. After all, the huge slave-hunting team did not follow the old guy to the underground rat city to watch the fun. All he had to do was wait for the targeted tribe in the forest to mature and then lead the team to capture them.

They could even give themselves some slaves as sacrifices, although they were given a hard requirement to give out 500 slaves within seven days.

But there are no requirements for the slave race.

Five hundred goblins will do, five hundred bunnymen will do, and those noisy frogmen, whatever the hell they are, five hundred of them will be enough.

Even though Sheng Qi felt that he probably wouldn't be able to wait until the group of deer people in the forest that had been targeted by the old man for a long time matured, he could still go to the river to fish out some frogmen, and then go to the small barren hill to catch some goblins.

That's also possible!
He had thought it through beforehand that he must catch more people this time, even if they were goblins and frogmen, which were sacrifices that the old guys looked down upon.

Although he had no means or qualifications to offer sacrifices to the gods and record his achievements in that lofty temple, all the old guys in the outpost had left.

As the temporary manager of the slave-catching team, he can also make use of the precious little temple built by those old guys.

Offer sacrifices to the gods there, and then ask the slave rat craftsman who specializes in carving stone paintings for those old guys to make a stone painting for you as well, to add some merit to yourself!
This is pretty good too!
For a newly appointed ratman priest, this was undoubtedly a perfect start!

Until the sudden invasion of those boar riders occurred.

Those damned fellows swept through a large area on the western edge of this dense forest.

And because the old fellow he served had just taken office, the slave-catching area he was assigned to was not only the worst, but also happened to be the westernmost area.

Nothing happened before, but that group of mysterious guys who had been quiet before suddenly invaded!

Such a sudden change interrupted the young priest's vision of the future and forced him into a desperate situation. The news he spread upwards received no response.

And if they fail to pay the full number of slaves, the old fellow who went there to watch the fun will definitely not take responsibility. There is no doubt that he will be the one to take the blame!
At that time, it will not be him who is offering sacrifice to the gods, but he will become the sacrifice!
Damn it, what should I do!
The young priest with red eyes was frantically thinking of a way to resolve this situation.

It is obviously impossible to count on that old guy. That damn old guy is still dreaming of becoming a temple priest!

But not a single slave must be left behind!
What can I do? What can I do?
This is the only thing we can do!

In a trance, the young ratman priest who was about to be driven crazy made a bold decision.
