From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 80, Wild Boarmen's Advance

"iron?"

The snake leader was puzzled by the strange words coming out of Huo's mouth.

"The gods once gave me a revelation, telling me to look for black, gray, brown, and dark green stones in the mountains. These stones will burst out with powerful power in the flames. We once found these stones, but we didn't have time to use them.

We lost the war and were forced to leave the forest and come here."

Even though Huo gave an explanation, the snake leader instinctively was unwilling to trust a strange thing.

"But!"

Until the next sentence of Fire appeared.

"Trapped in this wetland, no matter how much we recuperate, we will only be able to return to the state before the war. We may become stronger, but can we face the swarms of rats in this situation?"

Huo asked this to the snakeman leader in front of him, causing the snakeman leader to fall silent.

The snake leader could not give an answer.

"Now that we have come this far and the feud has been concluded, what is there to hesitate about?"

In the end, Huo's words completely convinced the snake leader.

Yes, the hatred has already been established. Will those crazy rat people let the snake people go?

"We can no longer retreat, we can only move forward!"

One-eyed Huo looked seriously at the snakeman leader in front of him and said this, gaining her agreement.

"Yes, we can no longer retreat, we can only move forward!"

But compared to the firmness in Fire's words, the words of the snake leader were somewhat bitter.

Just like this, in this devastated wetland that has not yet recovered, in this already exhausted wetland kingdom.

An army began to gather.

The lizardmen and snakemen gave almost all of their assets, especially the lizardmen, almost all adult males were present.

In front of the Divine Revelation City, the filth in the incubation pool had been thoroughly cleaned out, and the purifying light contained in it had become almost faint and invisible.

The snake people boating on the lake disappeared, and so did the newborns of various tribes they were caring for.

Only the huge statue of the god still stands.

An inexplicable feeling of depression and pessimism began to spread among the armies of various races gathered in these wetland kingdoms.

Except for those swamp fish people who looked around like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

At this moment, a black dot appeared high in the sky, and with a whistling sound, it crossed the sky at high speed and descended in front of the huge statue.

That was their hero, the powerful dragon rider who rode a dragon, Fire!
However, even the arrival of heroes and dragons did not eliminate the depression and pessimism in the army, and the left eye of their great hero was lost in the battle.

Fire, there is nothing we can do in this situation.

He stood up from the dragon's back and simply looked around, but it was still difficult to conceal his confusion at the moment.

Not knowing what to say, he was equally confused. Even though he placed his hope on the revelations of the gods, could that strange iron really save the current wetland kingdom?

Can they handle the influx of rats?
If you can’t get an answer, just stop thinking about it.

He pulled out the stick behind him and shouted loudly.

"set off!"

No matter what he faces in the future, as the king of the Wetland Kingdom, he will lead the country forward.

"Let's go!" With a shout, the dragon beast soared into the air as the vanguard. This mixed army of lizardmen, snakemen, gnolls, and swamp fishmen set out in a mighty manner.

………….

In the lush forest.

In one of the underground rat lairs scattered throughout the forest, a group of ratmen gathered. The young rat priest who led the group was observing a boar camp with flickering campfires not far away through the hidden cave entrance.

It was a new camp being built by the wild boar people.

These days, the boar riders running in the forest can be roughly divided into three groups.

The first group was the boar riders wearing heavy armor and charging into the forest. They served as the vanguard and continuously cleared out the ratman outposts in the forest.

The second group is the boarmen warriors with sharp fangs, wearing leather armor and carrying spears and swords. They are the largest in number and will appear after the boarmen knights finish clearing the ratman outposts, and carry out a detailed cleanup of other intelligent races in the forest.

At the end is a long line of wild boar civilians carrying various supplies and tools. This group of wild boar civilians is generally composed of female wild boars and young wild boars. They will build watchtowers and camps in appropriate locations.

While they live in them and serve as a defensive force, the camps in those buildings will also accommodate a steady stream of more wild boar civilians.

And with continued expansion and construction, the originally simple camp will continue to expand, and soon the prototype of a small forest city will appear.

This is the boar people's expansion principle.

As long as they can defeat Du Yuan's ratmen, suppress the lizardmen in the swamp, and firmly occupy the forest, then these camp cities set up in advance can be put into production immediately and put this vast forest rich in resources into operation at the fastest speed.

Then, with the acceleration of huge resources, the violently growing boar people will soon be able to completely crush all other races in this small world.

Therefore, this boar man's god adopted the principle of expansion by building as he went.

The only problem with this strategy is that it progresses too slowly.

Although in theory this strategy is the most stable, after all, stretching the battle line and quickly raiding the enemy's lair can end the battle most quickly, it also has the most variables.

While the ratmen and lizardmen are licking their wounds, they occupy most of the resources, and then they can create an insurmountable advantage simply by crushing the resources.

This is a very typical textbook style of play.

It is indeed the most stable strategy, provided that everything is really as He wants.

And this young god has overlooked many things.

For example, there are rat-man nests underground throughout the lush forests and the underground tunnels connecting the rat-man nests.

It is conceivable that this would cause Him a lot of trouble.

At this moment, a pair of sneaky eyes were hiding in the secret exit of the ratman's lair, spying on the boarman camp with a bonfire not far away.

A low murmur sounded.

"Twenty!"

"Twenty-one!"

But he was counting something, and as the number increased, the low murmur gradually became full of surprise.

The fellow lying at the secret cave entrance and counting was naturally the unlucky young ratman priest, who was tied to the rope.

In order to gather the number of slaves to be handed over, the unfortunate captain of the temporary slave-hunting team rushed into the lush forest with his team without hesitation.

And what was he doing at this moment, spying furtively at the boarmen camp with a campfire not far away?

Obviously, that's what happens when you're targeted by the captain of a slave-catching team.

The answer to this question is obvious.
