From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 83: The unlucky ones with a cloud of worry
Because this matter itself was a random and bizarre act done by a young ratman priest.

How could I possibly understand it?

………….

The next day, the commander of the boar army came to the camp that was attacked last night, and then he listened to the confusing events again.

Amid the noisy voices of the boarmen civilians in the camp, the commander fell into confusion again.

However, the ratman footprints outside the camp were real, and there were also several dead ratman bodies piled in the center of the camp.

but why?
Even though the boarman commander kept emphasizing in his mind that he was facing a group of followers of heretical gods, a group of people that even gods told him to be careful with.

But after such a nonsensical thing happened, he still had more doubts.

Is it really necessary to take such an enemy seriously?
Looking at the ratman corpse in front of him, the boarman commander thought silently.

Until a soldier brought him different news.

A secret exit hidden in the bushes was discovered by the boar soldiers.

Soon, the boarman commander arrived here and looked at the deep and dark cave entrance in front of him, as well as the numerous ratman footprints that disappeared in front of the cave entrance.

Suddenly, a bad feeling arose in the heart of the boarman commander.

Things got bad when a goblin that was originally kept in a cage as food reached the top and completely disappeared after entering the tunnel.

Perhaps the answer to the question of why that rat-man army appeared out of nowhere in the rear has emerged.

I just hope this matter won't be as bad as he thinks.

It seemed that he had discovered a secret in this forest that was not a secret.

………….

The outpost, the last day before the slaves were turned in.

The outpost was gloomy today.

It was not only Sheng Qi who was left behind to take the blame, especially in the context of the wild boar people sweeping across the entire forest. Many senior rat priests who had not gone to the underground rat city retreated at the speed of light and quickly ran towards the underground rat city after discovering that something was wrong.

This is how many temporary priests were brought up.

But these unlucky guys who were given the task in times of crisis were not happy at all.

When Sheng Qi took over, the situation was at least not deteriorating. At that time, Sheng Qi could at least think about leading the team to capture the goblin fish frogmen.

And they are just pure scapegoats.

I couldn't help feeling gloomy and sad.

Originally, the rat priests in the outpost did not care much about the invasion of the wild boar people, even the senior rat priests who commanded the slave-hunting teams.

Although many senior priests were attracted by the big movements of the white rats and went to the underground rat city to join in the fun.

But that's not all. Some senior priests who are really old don't have those big ideas. The title of temple priest sounds good but it's all empty. Especially for the slave-hunting priests who choose to stay, the attraction is not as important as defeating their own colleagues.

In their opinion, there were still a few too many slave-hunting teams in this outpost.

As for the invasion of the wild boar people, isn't that something that the High Priest of White Rat and the recently popular Rat War should consider? What does it have to do with them, the slave-hunting captains?

Some slave-catching priests even took advantage of the chaos and started fighting with other slave-catching priests who had new and old grudges against them.

The rules that were originally set were thrown out of the window.

These old foxes just don't follow the rules they set.

Only young people like Sheng Qi would be afraid of this.

Soon they were fighting each other until two rat-hunting teams fighting in the depths of the forest were easily destroyed by a wild boar knight who came to sweep the area, and even the senior rat-priest who led the team fled back in a panic. Only then did these guys realize that something was wrong.

Then they found out that the Underground Rat City was not going to care about them.

The Underground Rat City paid no attention to what was happening here. Before the brewing storm subsided, the White Rat had no energy to take care of these things.

Moreover, the outpost was originally built as a fortress to deal with such incidents.

The tunnels and underground chambers throughout the mountain, the endless slave rats working in the fortress, and the various prepared sacrifices were all part of the defense of this solid fortress.

Even if the Lizardmen brought the terrifying dragon beasts to the Desolate Mountains, they were still powerless against the ratmen who had built their city completely underground.

The final option was to send warriors into the endless and complex underground tunnels to engage in a tough battle with the rats that kept pouring in.

This is the confidence of White Rat. Even though the enemy has begun to invade, he is determined to thoroughly sort out the kingdom.

But this has caused hardship for the rat priests who organized the slave-hunting teams.

The wild boar people swept in and quickly captured the divided areas.

After all, the boar people don’t care whether you rat people want to capture slaves or not.

Likewise, the temple messengers who come to collect the slaves will not care why you cannot capture the slaves.

It's not them who are capturing slaves anyway.

Under such circumstances, the senior rat priests had no time to care about the careers they had been engaged in for so many years, nor did they care about the slave-hunting teams that they had spent countless efforts to form.

As if it was agreed upon, after leaving behind the unlucky guy to take the blame, they quickly fled away under the pretext of going to the underground rat city to watch the ceremony.

As for organizing that huge group of slave rats to fight the wild boars in the forest, we can only say that as the priests who have been dealing with the slave rats for the longest time, how could they not know what kind of people the slave rats are.

That's it.

Only the unlucky guy who took the blame was left, making the outpost gloomy and gloomy.

Now, these unlucky guys who took the blame faced the same problem as Sheng Qi.

What should I do if I want slaves but cannot catch them?

Especially after seeing how powerful the wild boar people are, this question becomes even more unanswerable.

In the past few days, a number of unlucky guys who relied on luck to gain control of their territory have been killed in the forest along with their slave-hunting teams.

It seems that these unlucky guys only have one choice left: wait for death.

Until a swaggering guy returned from the forest.

This guy didn't just come back from the depths of the lush forest.

He even brought back spoils, which was unusual.

His appearance immediately attracted the attention of the gloomy-faced unfortunates in the outpost.

Because this guy who came back with such a swagger was just as unlucky as them.

And who is this swaggering guy? It is naturally the young priest Sheng Qi who was defeated in the wild boar camp yesterday.

However, the way he looks now shows no signs of the defeat he suffered last night.

On the contrary, as soon as he entered the outpost, this guy, with the tall boarman cook who was lifted up by the slave rats behind him, went straight to the only small temple in the outpost.

The temple messenger who came to the outpost from the underground rat city to collect sacrifices is currently staying there.
