Chapter 168: The Rat Lord Returns to the Stage, and the Investor with Red Eyes

It took three full days.

After that half of the magic tower was knocked down by the surging rat warriors.

This narrow valley was finally captured by the rat people, and the road to the rolling hills was opened. The war was about to spread to every part of the Half-Elf Kingdom.

But it doesn't come without a price.

The valley was dyed red, the rat priests put down their madness, and the red-eyed rat warriors gradually regained their sanity.

He stared at everything in front of him blankly, looking at everything that was red in front of him.

Every Skaven warrior pushed to the front lines and survived is a miracle.

But not every rat man can accept the blood-red eyes.

Red was spread over every inch in front of me.

Some of the surviving rat men suddenly burst out with sharp screams, running wildly on the battlefield in despair and fear, running wildly in this valley where every inch of the land was covered in bright and dazzling red.

Whether it was the young rat man or the rat warrior, they were all so despicable in the eyes of the rat priest, they were ignored as if they were dust.

But after all, it still exists as an intelligent creature. Although the rat priests don't think so, under the influence of the killing aura that envelopes the battlefield and the random casting of madness, it is just a tool.

No guy cares about how his tools feel.

It's just that some rat people can't bear it anymore. Even if their bodies have been tortured by the madness technique, the new rat people in the rat kingdom are becoming more and more tolerant to madness.

Even if you are in a state of madness for a long time, you will not be greatly affected.

It's just that this experience is not wonderful, and it has caused great mental trauma to some young ratmen who did not accept it and faced this scene for the first time, and some ratmen warriors who could no longer accept such a scene.

He ran wildly, screamed wildly, and waved the spear in his hand like a madman.

and then be killed.

The Skaven are not good at treating such mental trauma, nor do they know how to treat it.

There is only one way to solve this problem.

The metal spear penetrated the body, and the crazy rat man regained some sense at the last moment before death.

I don’t know why, but the expression that showed the most in the end was actually tranquility?

Death has also become a kind of peace for these guys?

The spear was pulled out, and the crazy rat man fell weakly to the ground. The blood slowly flowed out and turned into part of the red color that dyed the entire valley.

Those who killed them were the numb and empty-eyed rat warriors, some qualified tools that had been trained in the war.

The war will still advance.

The attack on this valley did not go smoothly, and the losses were serious, perhaps 200,000, 250,000, or close to 300,000.

In short, many rat warriors died in this valley.

But the Skaven won.

………….

In the barren mountains.

A piece of news spread and caused an uproar among the senior rat priests who were summoned to return.

A word that is not new has returned to the sight of these senior rat priests.

Rat Lord.

This is a quite old term.

After defeating the good eyes in the rat war and becoming the de facto commander of the rat people.

The term "rat lord" is no longer mentioned by any rat people, only the title "rat warlord" remains.

But now, this word that was once bound to the rat warlord has been separated separately.

And will be re-empowered in a vote by the Skaven Parliament.

And it's no small right.

A formal meeting of thirteen people was convened, and almost all of the thirteen rat council members who could decide the fate of the rat kingdom arrived.

Except for the rat war who is still on an expedition on the vast grassland.

The topic of this meeting was the Rat Lords, and the speaker was the white rat who had not intervened in the affairs of the Rat Kingdom for a long time.

Under the calm gaze of the white rat, no matter it is the senior rat priests who have joined together, or the rat warlords who were left behind by the rat war to serve as full-time troublemakers.

There are no dissenters.

The proposal passed unanimously.

The appointment of the first batch of rat lords was immediately implemented.

Selected from among the senior Skaven priests who were summoned back to the barren mountains.

There are five in total, corresponding to the five cities in the Ratman Kingdom.

But doesn’t the Ratman Kingdom only have five cities in total now?

Could it be that the White Rat wants to appoint a lord for the Underground Rat City?

Of course not. The city where the gods descended obviously did not need the rule of a lord.

It's just that the matters promoted by the White Rat will certainly not be without purpose. At the meeting of thirteen people, at this moment, the White Rat's indifferent eyes fell on the senior priests who served as Rat Councilors.

At this moment, the expressions on the faces of these senior priests were changing crazily.

Of course, there are more than five cities in the Skaven Kingdom.

To be precise, in the hands of the joint senior rat priests, there was just one city and four developing city prototypes.

The city they occupied, the city they built, was about to change its owner in a simple sentence from Bai Shu.

Was appointed easily.

Can they accept it?

Amid the intense changes in their expressions, the five most powerful and powerful rat priests raised their heads with difficulty.

The answer is obvious.

Of course it's unacceptable.

But do they have a choice?

Under the indifferent gaze of the white mouse, the intensely changing expression finally turned into a hint of bitterness, and he lowered his head.

Just an issue, a concept was picked up, an issue was thrown out, and five senior Skaven Lords were appointed.

Nothing seems to have changed.

But would a white rat do such a meaningless thing?

The White Rat's control over the Rat Man has always been precise and accurate.

………….

Rat Zhan didn't know what happened in the underground rat city.

Although the two troublemakers he left in the Underground Rat City delivered the news immediately, the long distance lengthened the time it took for the news to reach him.

There are advantages and disadvantages to being far from the center of the kingdom.

The advantage is that the influence of the old guy entrenched in the underground rat city is greatly weakened.

If it weren't for the distance, Rat Zhan wouldn't have dared to be so unscrupulous.

Of course, there are disadvantages.

That is, no matter what happened in the Underground Rat City, when he learned about it, everything was probably dust.

not to mention.

Sometimes the transmission of messages is deliberately blocked.

In the lush forest.

A group of running rat knights were targeted.

Some accumulated sharp wooden thorns stopped the rat knight from running wildly.

During the short stay, danger came.

Tall figures appeared in the shadows one after another and surrounded the group of knights.

In panic.

The captain of the Rat Knight showed the flag behind him.

That was the flag of the Rat War, but obviously, it couldn't change anything.

These rat people emerged from the shadows and gathered around.

A fierce fight took place in this lush forest.

Not long after, all the rat knights in this group were killed in the corner of the forest.

Obviously, some people were not prepared for what was about to happen.

Compared to the rat priests who were seated and within sight, Rat Zhan undoubtedly received extra preferential treatment, although Rat Zhan might not really want this kind of preferential treatment.

A large number of temple guards began to gather.

Under the rules set by Du Yuan, the status of the underground rat city was far more unshakable than the rat priests and rat wars thought.

Even with the independence of the two parties, the Underground Rat City has become a bit more depressed.

Everything in the Ratman Kingdom no longer converges on this original city.

At the same time, there was also a large exodus of ratmen within it.

It’s just that this is still the center of the Rat Kingdom. Even if time goes by, the Underground Rat City will still be the center of the Rat Kingdom. It’s not because of anything else. It’s just because the Rat Priest and Rat War have always been working for the Underground Rat City. work to earn a living.

Under Du Yuan's restraint on Xiaochun, the Underground Rat City will always be the city that produces the most blood mushrooms in the Rat Man Kingdom.

In the bright blood pool in the temple where Du Yuan was sleeping, a large number of blood mushrooms were densely piled up and growing on the surface of the blood pool.

This is Du Yuan's gift, and it is also the final protection of the rat people's order.

With the support of this huge blood mushroom, no matter how the power of the Rat Kingdom changes, the Underground Rat City will always be the absolute center.

Now, this center is held in the hands of the white rat.

Ten thousand temple guards gathered together.

These divine guards who were supposed to be stationed in the temple gathered together in an unusually large number. This was an absolutely powerful force.

Of course, there is certainly something to be done when this powerful team comes together.

In fact, this group of divine guards gathered just to escort a few rat men.

Of course, there are still some things to do along the way.

For example, beating up an unruly guy.

………….

On the grassland, six cities took shape in a very short period of time.

Large amounts of rock were mined from towering peaks and dragged by giant rats to cities under construction.

This is a big project.

But simply, in the last war, a large number of giant rats fell into the hands of these rat scavenging team captains in order to catch up with the progress.

These precious giant rats also served as coolies.

In order to be able to complete the construction of these six cities within the stipulated time, in order to be able to obtain the pasture agreed with Rat War as soon as possible.

To this end, these guys who gathered under the Rat War banner tried their best.

But recently, the construction of a city has not gone smoothly.

Some argali knights appeared outside the city under construction.

Shu Zhan didn't care about this matter. He was dealing with the sudden drop in temperature irritably.

In fact, there are some smart rat people in Prairie City who have begun to peel the fur of giant sheep to make warm clothes.

Okay, maybe clothes are not the right description.

The giant sheepskin that had been hastily peeled off, only the head, buttocks and limbs were cut off. Then it was turned over and the furry side was used as the lining, and it was simply put on the body.

This is a Ratman thermal suit.

Very crude, but quite effective.

The materials come from giant sheep carcasses that were randomly discarded after bleeding.

Rat Zhan himself is known as the Skinner, so he should be able to enjoy the warmth brought by this special winter thermal clothing for Ratmen as soon as possible.

But this arrogant guy was unwilling to accept wearing the skin of an ordinary giant sheep.

Rat Zhan regretted more and more that he could not peel off the skin of either of the two old guys.

The skins of these sheep orcs must be quite warm when worn on the body.

And now, our arrogant rat-man commander, cruel evil hero, dragon slayer, rat war, can only be launched by shudder, huddled in the cave deep in the prairie city, relying on the lit bonfire in this cold Stay alive in winter.

Without the command of Rat Zhan, the huge rat army went into hibernation.

Of course, it's not just dormant.

The replenishment of troops has been going on, and when the cold snap briefly subsides, the size of Shuzhan's army should reach a new high.

But the dormant rat war has made a group of rat investors anxious.

A group of unlucky people took over the construction of the outermost city of Four Seasons Ranch.

The argali knights who appeared on the outskirts of the city greatly slowed down the construction of the city.

And it is gradually getting ready to move, as if it is about to launch an attack at any time.

Relying on those slave rats can't resist this group of argali knights who are ready to move.

However, Rat War did not provide any support, and was not even willing to extend the construction deadline.

I feel like I've been cheated.

It was like being on a pirate ship.

It's obviously too late to regret it now.

In order to protect my own interests, and to prevent what I have invested in being completely wasted.

This group of mixed investors, composed of the Big Claw Priest, the Captain of the Scavenger Team, and the Rat Man Priest, could not sit still.

The rat men's regular army could not provide support.

But there are a group of guys who are obviously not so afraid of the severe cold at this time.

A large number of blood mushrooms were thrown down.

One after another, scavenging teams were hired, and a large number of mixed rat-man troops began to rush to the rat artificial land under construction.

Mixed investment people in this city are already red-eyed.

In order to obtain the pasture provided by Rat War, they invested all their remaining chips.

In this mixed rat army.

A familiar guy mingled among them.

A young ratman riding a giant rat, wearing a broken body armor and carrying a flag.

This is the bold fellow posing as a Skaven warlord.

Relying on a flag bought from the noisy ruins, he peeled off a relatively complete piece of the ferocious knight's armor.

He just dared to pretend to be a rat warlord and deceive the group of rat runners.

This is undoubtedly a big gamble.

Not only surviving through the chaotic battlefield to reach the rat war, but also coaxing the group of rat runners was a dangerous thing.

That group of veterans followed Rat Zhan through many wars, and they were no strangers to the rat warlords.

They sensed a problem with the young warlord.

But they also accepted the young warlord's words.

They cannot lose the Rat War, nor can they bear the reckoning that may come from the Rat War after the war.

After following Shuzhan for so long, they certainly know the character of their commander.

Loyalty to Him is absolute and necessary.
