Chapter 170, The gaze of the white rat, the young warlord seizing the bargaining chip

very messy.

A messy offense, a messy defense, a messy fight.

Everything is a mess.

This rabble relied on the chaos and complexity of the city to deal with the attacking argali knights.

It wasn’t a pretty fight.

But simply, the rat people did not lack in numbers.

The co-investors certainly didn't pin their hopes on this ragtag group of people in the city.

A large team of scavengers was hired.

This is a force of fifty thousand ratmen.

Running on the grassland, led by a big claw priest.

In this team, you can even see some large equipment being pushed.

A large number of rough logs, some trebuchets, and defensive crossbows.

If they could successfully reach the half-built city, they would undoubtedly be more worthy of relying on.

Compared to the mob in the city.

And the reason why they have only arrived now is because the price has not been agreed upon.

The group of investors could no longer offer any more chips, so they could only use the ranch promised by Rat War as reward.

The two sides have been at odds over this issue for a long time.

Until recently, under the threat of the Argali Knights, this group of joint investors gave the maximum price they could.

This large scavenging team also set off accordingly.

It's just a pity that the wolf orc commander has been watching this area.

First, a few scattered cavalry peeped and followed, then a small group of troops arrived, and finally, a huge group appeared at the end of the grassland.

By this time it was already too late.

The big claw priest who led the team boosted some morale.

There is not much shelter in this open grassland.

But simply, in this constant contact, the rat people have been looking for ways to deal with it.

In a sharp neighing.

Thick logs were thrown down at the front of the front line. These specially treated logs could be easily built together.

Quickly form a low wooden wall.

Trebuchet began debugging.

Groups of ratmen were pushed onto the battle line.

It’s not that he doesn’t have the ability to fight back.

In that ear-piercing sound, a large number of stone bullets were thrown out.

The city guard's crossbow also started firing crossbow arrows.

As long as the ratmen on the front line can maintain the front line.

This large scavenging team is not without the power of resistance, but this is precisely the most difficult thing to do.

Facing the large number of roaring troops, the rat warriors of these scavenging teams could not even hold the spears in their hands.

The huge team of knights began to disperse. The argali knights split into two groups and launched an attack from the side.

The frontal offensive was not given up.

Those wolf knights chose to attack the most difficult frontal defense.

The huge gray-black wolf led the knight on it to easily cross the low wooden wall made of logs.

A wolf-orc carrying a flag led the way.

A rat warrior was easily trampled by a giant wolf.

Being bitten in public, the morale of this large scavenger team was easily defeated.

A large-scale rout began.

No matter how angry the big claw priest who led the team shouted, nothing changed.

These guys who cruelly roamed the grasslands and wiped out tribes, big and small, immediately exposed their true abilities after encountering real difficulties.

It's not worth betting on this rabble.

They fit in with Rat War’s perception and positioning of them.

A bunch of barely serviceable cannon fodder.

Suitable for being used as a stepping stone during siege warfare.

Even though the scale of this rat-man scavenging team was not small, it did not cause any trouble. Soon after, the battle ended.

The big-clawed priest who led the team was trampled by a silver-gray giant wolf and did not die on the spot. The giant wolf gnawed the poor guy alive.

In that wailing cry of terror and despair.

The expression on the face of the Wolf Knight commander became more and more confused. He looked at the guy under him who was struggling and howling in despair, and at the rat warriors running away in front of him.

How on earth did these guys wipe out the sheep orcs and cripple the argali tribe in such a short period of time?

Such weak guys.

Puzzled.

At the same time, on the other side, in the rat city under construction, the chaotic battle also ended at the same time.

There were too few argali knights. Even though the city was full of rabble, these guys could at least exert their basic combat effectiveness amidst the overwhelming numbers.

Instead of running away in panic at the moment of contact.

In this battle, Qi gained his only gain.

An argali knight who fell into a ravine and could not recover was beheaded by him.

When the battle ends.

Carrying the simple flag in his hand, he stepped into the center of this rough city.

In that loud cry.

Holding up the head in his hand, the scavenger team captains began to preach aloud with confused expressions on their faces.

There is nothing new in the content of the discourse.

That's probably what it means.

"Follow me! Follow me! I will bring you merit!"

In a sense, this young guy is somewhat similar to Sheng Qi.

Soon, this young guy became a joke among the captains of the scavenging team.

A strange guy.

However, a group of rat men who lost their leader joined Qi's command after the lecture.

In ignorance, he cast an admiring look at the carefree guy.

This guy promised them a repeat, but a slim possibility.

As long as he can rise up and become a real rat warlord after six wars, then all the guys gathered around him will be able to get rid of this state of being no different from slave rats.

Even the rat warriors who fell in pieces like weeds in each war are still the existence that these pitiful guys long for.

Once again, those peeping argali knights attacked again.

Still a mess.

This time, Qi Zhan gained even more.

However, he also faced a more dangerous battle and was surrounded by a group of argali knights. At the critical moment, it was the fierce knight's armor on his body that saved his life, and it was also a thin ratman who devoted his loyalty to him. Killed him.

The skinny ratman who handed him a fat worm blocked him from being trampled by a giant pan-horned sheep.

The skinny rat man followed Qi's words and offered his loyalty. Before his death, he cast his longing eyes on Qi.

But Qi didn't turn his attention to this poor guy again.

Soon after, the flag once again ascended the heights of the city.

Waving the flag in his hand, the gains from this battle were piled at his feet.

In that loud cry.

The bright sneers finally ceased, and the captains of these scavenging teams were surprised to find that unknowingly, more and more ratmen were gathering around this guy.

Even though the rat warriors in these scavenging teams were not of high quality, this young and weird guy actually held his first bargaining chip.

It was a team of rat men gathered in front of him, looking up at him with longing.

The wolf orc commander did not choose to eat the city in front of him directly.

The rat city was surrounded by him, and the progress of construction came to a halt.

A large amount of stone was abandoned around the city, and no transport team successfully reached the city.

At the same time, the attack on the city under construction did not stop. Teams of argali knights were used as consumables to fill the rat city in front of them.

With good control, these harassing argali knights could pose a certain threat, but such a small number would never be able to capture the city.

It gave those rat investors the illusion that they still had a chance.

He kept betting with red eyes, gradually betting everything on it.

At the same time, groups of large scavenger teams began to set foot on the battlefield amid their promises and surging greed.

The city closest to Prairie City has completed its construction.

The vast pasture was really thrown out by the rat war.

Although these lands are just a burden to the rat war, they are abandoned casually.

But at that moment, some thoughts and ideas still surged among the rat people gathered in Prairie City.

The desire was not completely ignited, and the establishment of the ranch was hampered by the severe cold.

When these pastures are put into operation, when the intelligent creatures grazed by the rat people begin to produce output, it will probably be the time when spring comes again.

But just that spark of desire still caused groups of large scavenger teams to step onto the grassland and start heading towards the troubled city.

Then he was defeated by the Wolf Knight Commander.

The Wolf Knight commander chose this strategy. He did not have enough troops to support his comprehensive conquest of the rat people, so he could only use this method to stop the rat people.

The rat people were unusually cooperative.

Troops one after another were buried on this vast grassland.

Something felt wrong.

No matter how stupid the commander is, he will not allow such a loss! This is a meaningless loss!

The Wolf Knight Commander had long been prepared to escape, but nothing happened.

No more elite troops arrived, and no legions of rat people arrived. There were just these weak troops, constantly filling in this specially prepared trap.

Why?

Why?

More and more confusion turned into confusion, which was reflected on the expression of the Wolf Knight Commander.

His view of war was shaken.

In the confusing operation of the Rat Man.

But he didn't stop. Since his opponent was willing to sacrifice his power like this, he would take it all!

In confusion, in the blowing cold wind, the Wolf Knight Commander made this decision with a ferocious face.

………….

Time passes.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and the Ratman Kingdom has not been peaceful recently.

Because of the appointment of five Skaven Lords.

The candidate was determined, and the alliance of rat priests not only lost control of the city.

And a split began.

Because the Rat Man Lord was appointed to five senior priests, five senior priests entrenched in Waste City.

At first, under the suppression of the senior priests who served as councilors, everything was barely stable until an appointed guy showed his ambition and had different thoughts.

The rat priests have never been monolithic, and they only unite to deal with the white rats and the eccentric high priest.

But at this moment, the white mouse threw out some candies.

Some guys hesitated, some guys peeked in secretly, and some guys just swallowed it in one gulp.

But no matter what these appointed guys think, cracks have appeared among these rat priests who are not united enough.

Even the most eager guy disappeared soon after due to unknown reasons.

Those MPs who are the leaders of the alliance are showing their force with all their teeth and claws in an attempt to support the existence of this alliance.

It's just a pity that it is of no use.

After the senior priest disappeared, an appointment was filled again, and it still fell on the senior rat priests gathered in the waste city.

The white rat looked mockingly at these rat senators who were baring their teeth and claws.

Watching their efforts and performances that have no effect.

Of course, the cities that need to be appointed rat lords are far more than the cities built by these rat priests, and the candidates will also be selected from senior rat priests.

But the selection still needs to be considered.

At the same time, the white mouse is also waiting for the farce in front of him to come to an end temporarily.

We still need to wait for the six cities on the grassland to completely fall.

All this was not known to the rat war on the grassland.

All the rat knights sent by the rat warlords to send messages were lost in the lush forest.

The city on the grassland was peaceful, and there was nothing worth paying attention to.

Maybe, the failure in the construction of the last city really deserves some attention.

But it only attracted a little more attention.

The long, cold winter is finally over.

The rat war that had been simmering for a long time mobilized the long-dormant army.

Shu Zhan's army became larger and stronger throughout the winter. Shu Zhan finally replenished his army with metal spears.

Even the spear made of pig iron is not that high quality.

Hard yet fragile.

The rat warriors in Rat Zhan's hands swelled to an unparalleled number, reaching 800,000.

Of course, most of them are young ratmen with no experience.

Of course, the Rat War will not run with this huge and bloated army for a long time. In fact, the vast majority of these rat warriors will be put into various cities as the city's garrison.

There will be about 300,000 rat warriors left behind.

The number of Skaven Knights has been supplemented by Rat War to 40,000, and the scale of the Dire Knights and Skaven Runners has also been supplemented and increased.

The Ratrunners swelled to a force of fifteen hundred men.

The Dire Knight is only a thousand in size.

Even if he used his inferior pig iron spears to replenish his supply, Rat Zhan couldn't squeeze out more blood mushrooms.

These expensive guys have only expanded to a scale of one thousand.

Rat War can't wait, a new round of conquest is about to begin.

Amidst the waving flags, the huge army left the prairie city that had been quiet all winter, trampled on the already red land outside the city, and once again advanced into the vast and boundless grassland in front of them.
