From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 85: Greedy Rat

In the end, the temple messenger accepted the boarman cook, and Sheng Qi successfully obtained leniency.

Even though the grace period is not enough.

But he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head in front of the door of the small temple and prayed devoutly towards the small temple and the great god.

But in the end the problem was still not solved.

Regardless of whether it was a fabricated story or a leniency given, slaves still had to be handed over.

These problems are easy to solve, as long as Sheng Qi can capture enough slaves.

As long as the quota can be made up, as long as there is a surplus after making up the quota, then everything will be fine. Even if the fabricated story may be exposed, as long as there are surplus slaves to deliver to the temple messenger.

Then nothing will be a problem.

How could he not know how the old guy got the opportunity to set up another slave-hunting team? Wasn't it just by giving the temple messenger enough satisfying gifts!
And is this story easy to expose? Not necessarily.

Now the question arises, where can we get enough slaves?
This is a tricky problem, after all, there is nothing left in the forest except those rather tough wild boar men.

Sheng Qi fell into distressed thought.

Until some unfortunate people who shared the same fate as him gathered together.

He stopped and looked at the young rat priests who surrounded him in front of him. They were also the unlucky ones who had become the temporary captains of the slave-hunting team.

An idea appeared in Sheng Qi's mind.

But it was not enough. He had just seen the fighting power of his own slave-hunting team not long ago. Those guys were not trustworthy at all, even if they gathered in a group.

Do I still have a choice?
Wait! It seems there are options!

He remembered an army of ratmen that was temporarily stationed in an outpost and was temporarily unattended.

Okay, everything is connected.

In the joy that leaped up, the young ratman priest, who had just been covered in cold sweat and almost unable to stand steadily, put on an exaggerated smile.

He raised his arms toward his colleagues gathered before him.

"I think you all want to know how I did it! I have to admit that the process was very difficult, but I succeeded, and you still have no idea!"

In that exaggerated smile.

"I can help you now! All it takes is a little cooperation, but I don't know what choice you will make!"

The young ratman priest once again chose to make a bold decision without hesitation.

He got good results in two consecutive gamblings, which greatly strengthened his courage.

Unconsciously, a little greed appeared in his eyes and was cast at the ratman priests in front of him who were looking at each other in bewilderment.

Now, a bold and crazy idea emerged. He only needed to gather these poor unlucky guys in front of him as bargaining chips and weave a little lie, then he could go for a big bet.

………….

In the underground rat city.

Shu Zhan suddenly sneezed violently, raised his head suspiciously and looked around.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little unhappy, as if his things were being targeted by that despicable guy, which made Shu Zhan inexplicably more suspicious.

But after thinking about it, I couldn't think of anything wrong.

Recently, Shuzhan felt that he was quite lucky because of the war suddenly launched by the wild boar people.

If nothing unexpected happens, once Bai Shu has dealt with his group of temple priests, the Third War of Gods will begin.

Speaking of which, this Bai Shu guy is a bit weird. He doesn't want to be a good high priest, but he has to set up a temple priest group and have the members vote on major events of the rat people.

It's really a waste of time. As long as this old guy doesn't die, is there anyone who dares to question whether the Ratman Kingdom really has what he wants to do?

I have to make something like this.

He didn't understand, but it didn't matter. He was also a member of the temple's priest group anyway, and he was only half a ratman short of that old guy Bai Shu. That old guy could count as two priests' votes, and he counted as one and a half.

Add three younger brothers, and you now have tickets for four and a half ratman priests.

This made Shu Zhan very happy.

He didn't think that the only difference between him and the white rat was that he was half a rat priest.

But in this group of priests, he and his little brother can be half a rat priest better than the white rat.

Although until now Shuzhan still feels that Baishu is messing around.

But this did not prevent him from agreeing with the ratman priest group which had not yet been established after he had gained benefits.

It’s a good thing, there’s no doubt about it!
And it can be even better. In this upcoming war, Shu Zhan saw an opportunity. Looking at the entire Ratman Kingdom now, Shu Zhan felt that he was the only one who could command the war of gods.

Well, since White Rat must rely on himself to fight against the wild boars, then shouldn’t I get more!
In his instinctive greed, Shu Zhan decided to use the war as a bargaining chip to ask for more from Bai Shu, although he still didn't understand what the purpose of the so-called voting resolution was.

But this did not prevent him from being keenly aware of the importance of the priest seat in the temple.

He needed more seats when the war came, with his status as the only great ratman warlord and the 20,000 ratman warriors he brought back from the wetlands.

These are his bargaining chips.

Although 20,000 ratmen warriors are not many, Shu Zhan is confident that as long as Bai Shu is willing to allocate a large number of young ratmen to him, he can rely on these 20,000 ratmen warriors as the skeleton and quickly build a ratman army that is larger than the Second Ratman Expedition.

Even though the combat effectiveness of this army will definitely decline due to the large number of young ratmen filling it.

But it is backed by barren mountains.

Relying solely on the young ratmen who kept coming in, Shu Zhan felt that he could kill the group of wild boarmen by just piling them up.

Therefore, Rat War was undoubtedly the most excited one in the underground rat city regarding the invasion of the wild boar men, compared to those rat priests who were focused on the intrigues for the seats of temple priests.

Not only did Rat War send a rat warlord to the outpost to mobilize the guards, he also left him an order to collect intelligence on the boar people.

Everything is so beautiful for the current rat war.

In fact, his judgment was not wrong. In the current Ratman Empire, he was the only one who had the ability to command a large army, but this did not mean that there were no variables.

What he might not know is that the ratman army he left behind at the outpost, which is also the ratman army's biggest bargaining chip in the Rat War, has recently been targeted by a daring boy.
