Chapter 149: The brewing rat plague, the advancing civilization, and the sheep orcs struggling to su
Shu Zhan raised his head, the indifference on his face clearly visible, but the high priest of the sheep orcs frowned.
The size of the Skaven army was simply too great.
Even though he had summoned the warriors from the remaining three tribes, he only managed to gather 50,000 sheep orc knights.
But the number of the rat-men troops that could not be seen ended in front of them was difficult to estimate.
But without much hesitation, it was a charge.
Even if the enemy is strong, one must not forget one's own courage.
Although he is old, he still leads the way.
In that trumpet blowing.
The sheep orc knights also began to charge, following his lead.
The battle is about to begin.
The rat man also gave a reaction.
"Whoever kills that old guy! Who is the new rat warlord!"
The reward was handed down by Rat Zhan.
As easy to use as ever, such a reward.
A commotion began to spread.
Even the young ratmen who were among the ratmen warriors were a little more eager.
He firmly grasped the wooden spear in his hand.
In eagerness, the Skaven's morale soared.
The brutal fight did not begin with the charge of the sheep orcs.
Rounds of arrows were thrown.
Falling into the huge rat army, but not even a single ripple was made.
It didn't even cause a huge blow to the ratmen's morale.
Even if the arrows keep falling, even if the ratmen keep falling down and dying.
But it happened that it did not do much damage to the morale of the rat warriors.
The death of their companions did not make these rat warriors feel so deeply, only when they faced the cruel battle and the terrifying enemy.
Shaking occurs quickly.
The supervising team didn't even intervene.
In that waving battle flag, in that sharp roar, the rat army began to march.
Or maybe it's because the power displayed by the arrow is too small.
If the soaring dragon sprays flames downwards in the sky, then even if the supervising team intervenes on the battlefield, the morale of the rat warriors will probably be difficult to maintain.
The old wind led a commando to attack the rat people on the frontal battlefield.
Just a charge.
This commando almost broke the frontal formation of the rat army.
The trampled giant deer was devastating to the infantry.
But it only broke down the frontal formation of the rat army.
Soon, the following rat warriors came over in order to become a rat warlord.
For this reason, these senior rat warriors are even crazier and more fearless than those reckless young rat warriors.
Just as an old guy who has been galloping on the grassland all his life.
The high priest of the sheep orcs certainly knew how the cavalry fought.
In just an instant, the sheep orc commando team that completed the impact mission began to break away.
With this decisive retreat, the rat warriors simply couldn't keep this old guy.
But there are not only rat warriors in this huge army.
The rat knights rushed out from the rear of the army, and their goal was very clear, which was to keep the old guy who charged fearlessly.
Even though the sheep orc knights are far more flexible and faster than the rat knights, the timing is just right now.
Used to prevent enemy knights from escaping.
Facing the sheep orcs, the rat knights under Rat Zhan were far behind in both quantity and quality.
Simply, his position was changed by Rat Zhan.
The rat knights bit the sheep orc commando, giving the following rat warriors a chance to get close to the enemy.
But this was exactly what the old guy meant.
The large army of sheep orcs who threw arrows almost instantly changed the target of their attack.
The short bow in his hand was put down.
The scimitar from his waist was pulled out.
In that cry, they ran wildly.
He crashed into the approaching rat knights.
That old guy, that cunning and bold old guy, his target has always been the rat knights who were placed behind the huge army by the rat war.
He wanted to eat all the rat knights in front of the rat war, in front of this huge army.
This is a very appropriate strategy.
The protagonists on the grassland have always been the running knights.
In this vast land, there are no complicated terrains or many dangerous passes.
There are even very few places suitable for building a city.
Just eat all the rat knights.
So no matter how troublesome this huge army is, the follow-up can be dealt with slowly by relying on mobility.
This is a very smart approach.
At the same time, he was bold enough to dare to throw himself out as bait during the first battle between the two sides to achieve such a goal.
So did he succeed?
To some extent, he succeeded.
The incoming rat knights were caught on both sides by the sheep orcs and were quickly destroyed.
If this bold old guy faced other commanders.
Then his adventure this time will be a complete victory.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the importance of the knight team on the grassland.
Even if they don't understand, the knight who is losing his weight quickly will make them react quickly.
The Cavaliers have never been cheap guys.
The same is true even among the Skaven.
An ordinary rat knight's worth and the resources spent on training are already equivalent to twenty rat warriors.
At this time, in order to stop the loss in time.
So what will be the order that is given.
That is undoubtedly a transfer.
Trying to move the team of knights who were outflanked from the battlefield, the adventurous old guy was able to leave the battlefield without hesitation.
Originally, this strategy was very feasible.
It's just unfortunate that the commander of the rat army at this time is Rat Zhan.
Facing the shaped millstone.
Not only did Rat War not withdraw the Rat Knights, on the contrary, he chose to raise the stakes without hesitation.
The remaining rat knights were also pressed up by him.
The rat knights loyally carried out the rat war's orders, charging without fear, abandoning all other targets, and ran straight into the battlefield where the meat was being minced. In order to kill the people who were being dragged away and could not leave. Aged Orcs on the battlefield.
The knights on the periphery continued to distance themselves and repeated the action of charging, and fell into the depths of the battlefield. The knights who had no room to move were fighting cruelly in a small space.
The rat knights dropped their spears, and the short and capable war clubs were prepared for fighting in this small environment.
In fact, it is said to be a war stick, which is an iron rod with irregular bumps on the top.
Well, if you say that the Ratman's industry is a drag, that's not the case. The metal produced in the non-stop industrial zone in the barren mountains every day is not a small amount.
But you can say that their industry is developed.
Most of the weapons given were rough and cooled iron rods.
These guys can only work tirelessly and strive for perfection when they are casting sacrificial utensils and things related to the gods.
The giant bell brought to this simple fortress by the temple knights was particularly exquisite.
But despite this, the effect of the rough iron rod was not affected.
The solid materials bring a good hitting feel, and the concave and convex spikes on the top add good armor-piercing capabilities.
Of course, this would not be of much use against the sheep orcs who also couldn't afford metal armor, but those tall giant sheep were particularly suitable for dealing with the sheep orcs' mounts.
It can easily break the thick leg bones of the giant sheep.
The goat orc riding the giant sheep is half taller than the rat knight riding the giant rat.
The two faced each other, and on this narrow and chaotic battlefield, loud roars and sharp neighs were mixed together.
But overall, the sheep orc knights did have the upper hand.
The knights from both sides who were constantly hedging on the outside were the first to decide the winner.
The Skaven Knight was defeated in the collision.
But they did what they were supposed to do.
He bit the commander of the sheep orcs, the old high priest Feng.
Amidst the fluttering flags that were erected, it was impossible for the sheep orcs to retreat, and they rushed in like crazy.
But the rat knights were even more desperate.
Amidst the sharp neighing, these red-eyed guys rushed straight towards the flag not far away without caring about anything else.
Then he crashed hard into the waiting Sheep Orc commando, and died as quickly as a moth.
No need to doubt.
This commando team gathers the most elite warriors among the sheep orcs.
The only people in the Ratman Kingdom who can compete with them are the temple guards who stick to the temple, or the elite Ratman warriors who have followed the Rat Wars through one war after another.
Even the temple guards may be at a disadvantage when facing these guys.
The rat knights were no match for this group of sheep orc commandos.
But at this time, these dull guys charged without hesitation.
In the sharp neighing, it was the life that was disappearing rapidly.
Just because of an order from Rat Zhan.
Rat Zhan never pity his soldiers.
But he can bring victory.
The running rat warriors arrived.
In a very short period of time, this tentative attack directly escalated into a life-and-death fight with the crazy increase of the rat war.
The goal of the goat-orc high priest was achieved. After this battle, not even half of the rat knights under Rat Zhan would be left.
But at the same time, the sheep orcs' strategy completely failed.
All the troops formed by the Sheep Orcs were dragged into a cruel war of attrition by the Rat War.
Rat Zhan doesn't care about the losses suffered by his troops.
But can the old guy not care about the tribal warriors who follow him?
Standing in the center of the battlefield, this mouse looked down at everything in front of him with cold eyes.
The brutal battle ended after the old guy escaped.
The sheep orc knights left this cruel battlefield, left in embarrassment, and disappeared into the depths of the lush grassland, leaving behind a large number of corpses.
The Rat Man suffered even more losses.
The first one to bear the brunt was the rat knight who was attacked from both sides.
Of the twenty thousand rat knights, only eight thousand were left.
As for the rat warriors, their losses were even more serious, although most of the losses were the young rat warriors.
Thirty thousand rat warriors were left on this grassland.
In exchange for the death of 10,000 sheep orcs on the opposite side.
The sharpest commando team was almost completely destroyed.
The sheep orcs still have 40,000 troops left, but only 40,000 are left.
Even though the Ratmen lost 40,000 troops, they only lost 40,000 troops.
There is a huge gap in this.
Soon, the corpses on this battlefield will be sent to the lake of blood in a sacrificial ceremony, whether they are rat people or goat orcs.
Among the sprouting blood mushrooms, more rat people will come here. For the blood mushrooms, for merit, for honor, for everything of their own, and for the insatiable desire, they will become the subordinates of Rat Zhan. A member of that huge army became a member of the chaotic team running and fighting on the battlefield.
Become a bargaining chip in the hands of the rat war.
This is undoubtedly a brewing disaster, a disaster that all intelligent races on the grassland will face.
But at this time, only the sheep-orcs who had declined and failed to live up to their former glory were struggling to support themselves, and only the old and aging sheep-orc high priest was struggling to support them.
The unruly rat war did not stop, now that the sheep orcs were stationed again in the camp they destroyed.
Then the end point of this expedition is still there.
In that waving battle flag.
This huge army, which had just experienced a brutal battle, began to march again.
What's strange is that they don't see any fatigue or confusion left by the brutal battle.
Some are just excited.
Even those stiff rat knights had bloody tails hanging around their necks.
To be honest, they actually prefer the lizard man's tail.
The lizard man's tail, which was covered with layers of scales and had a unique luster, was much prettier and more eye-catching than the tails of these sheep orcs.
But they don't dislike it. This is their merit and their desire to fight.
The recent appearance of noisy ruins has allowed the blood mushrooms in the hands of these rat warriors to have other uses besides eating them.
The blood mushrooms in their hands were consumed faster, and they also became more thirsty for blood mushrooms.
The tails of these sheep orcs are their vouchers in exchange for blood mushrooms.
Of course, before that, maybe it would be a good choice to hang a sheep-orc tail around your neck and sit in the noisy ruins for a while.
Comparison has never been exclusive to the rat priests, but most of the time, even if most rat people want to compare, they don't have any channels.
Until recently, with the outflow of more blood mushrooms, the noisy ruins that belonged to the gathering of rat people at the bottom were born.
Of course, comparison is not a particularly good thing.
It will give rise to jealousy, unwillingness, hatred, and all kinds of violence and despicable behavior.
But in the end, it gave a little comfort to the rat people who accounted for the vast majority of the rat people in the kingdom of rat people, and those rat people at the bottom, making them become more like humans.
The rat people's civilization progress increased by one again, and their kingdom became more prosperous.
Although it has not yet been discovered that this has brought any particularly big changes to the rat people.
Yesterday's was made up, and the missing words in the big chapter a few days ago were also made up. There will be a bigger chapter later.
