Chapter 174: The background of the rat people, what you can encounter

Travel through dim tunnels through dingy underground cities.

The strength in the banner's hand has been completely lost.

He needs help.

Returning to Prairie City again, he needed to recruit strength here and also seek help from a guy.

In the noisy ruins, Qi, who was wearing a suit of armor, easily squeezed through the crowd of rat people in front of him.

With their awe and fear in their eyes, they walked through this bustling and crowded market.

In the center, a rat man raised the wooden sign in his hand high, and his sharp and excited shout attracted the attention of everyone present.

Another rat man whose achievements could be remembered for a short period of time. What he did, Qi paused and listened briefly.

Killed a satyr?

Just killed a satyr orc?

He couldn't help but feel a little more surprised, followed by silence.

Is this what I was looking up to before?

He raised his head and looked at the guy in the middle of the noisy ruins who was raising his spear high with excitement on his face. He withdrew his gaze and looked around, also looking at the poor guys around him who were showing desire and jealousy.

These guys are so humble.

Taking a step forward, an ordinary rat man in front of him blocked Qi's path, and there was a collision between the two. However, when the ordinary rat man turned around and saw the armor covered with battle scars on Qi's body, he turned around in horror. Lowered his waist.

These guys are so humble, but who would have thought that he was one of these guys not long ago.

A bad young guy.

There was no going back. He would never go back to being with these miserable and humble guys, even if it meant death.

Either stay high or die.

Brutally knocking away the rat men gathered around him, he strode towards the depths of this noisy ruins.

The flag no longer belongs here.

Even now, in Rat Zhan's eyes, he is just a slightly interesting guy, a fun thing.

But it was no longer possible for him to return to his humble, dust-like self not long ago.

Deep in the noisy ruins.

Flag found what he was looking for.

A slender fellow, a dwarf little mouse who painted patterns on various leathers.

Face the flag's sudden visit.

The other guy next to the slender little mouse-man was a little more wary, held the small buckler in his hand, and pulled out a short spear.

But the dwarf mouse with the painted pattern stopped the movement of the guy next to him.

With the final stroke, a complicated pattern was imprinted on the leather in his hand.

It seems that what is painted is the pattern belonging to the god in the temple.

His craftsmanship is very exquisite, no less than those great craftsmen who specialize in painting the patterns of gods, but he lives in this small corner, in this messy environment.

Qi is very grateful to her. If it weren't for her, he would still be the miserable guy wandering around in this noisy ruins in confusion.

The short rat man also recognized the flag. To be precise, he recognized the rough flag carried behind the flag.

He placed the leather in his hand carefully, with a smile on his face.

"Hey, isn't this a former customer?"

His eyes fell on Qi's body, especially on the armor covered with traces and stained with blood, and his smile became even brighter.

"It seems that what I said was right. You do need a flag."

………….

Qi didn't buy another flag, but he got a piece of news.

Following the news, he stood in front of the temple in Prairie City and looked at the temple with intricate carvings in front of him.

Great gods are worshiped inside.

Even if this guidance comes at a price.

Some special items carved with intricate patterns.

His chance was in the temple in front of him. He took a deep breath and stepped into the temple, towards the corner of the temple.

I found the inconspicuous stone room and took a deep breath. There was nothing to hesitate about.

Qi put down the battle flag beside him, took a deep breath and knelt down heavily.

Once you kneel down, it’s a day.

Finally, the door of the stone house was pushed open.

A figure appeared in front of him.

Wearing exquisite armor, the glorious armor surface has fine and complex patterns all over the armor, highlighting the status of the person wearing the armor.

A superior gaze was cast on him through the slit in the visor.

He raised his head and looked at the high gaze.

Qi is looking for an opportunity to change his destiny.

A chuckle was heard.

"I thought you rat warlords would all have the same bad temper and pride as your proud commander."

Flag lowered his head.

"I'm not a Skaven Warlord yet."

"But you can, right?"

He raised his head suddenly, what he was waiting for was the same sentence.

"Do you want to be a Skaven Warlord?"

In the tone of the figure in front of him that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Flag lowered his head again.

He always had no choice.

Qi offered his loyalty, that worthless loyalty, just like he said to Rat Zhan, and he still gave such a mediocre but correct answer to the big man in front of him.

Learn the expressions and movements of those poor guys who once gathered in front of him, and learn the expressions and movements of those defective slave rats when they offered their loyalty to him.

What he didn't realize was that neither it was the rat war nor the big man in front of him.

They all don't believe in the word loyalty, even if you declare loyalty to them, there is nothing wrong.

Whether they choose you depends on something more real and cruel.

value.

Rat Zhan did not immediately promote Qi to become a rat warlord because he felt that Qi had no more value.

At this point, the situation is the same.

Flag did not receive direct help, but a piece of information was put into his hands.

Three fuzzy areas were drawn out.

Nothing else.

He is not yet a Skaven Warlord and does not deserve more investment, and must show his worth.

Qi sold himself to two parties at the same time, the first time in exchange for the possibility of becoming a rat warlord, and the second time in exchange for the possibility of becoming a rat warlord.

Leave the hall of the great god.

Take a deep breath.

He will never give up.

Holding the simple flag in his hand, the flag turned back and took steps toward the prairie city behind him.

This was seen by the figure in the temple.

At least it's not stupid to get such an evaluation.

Qi couldn't directly hand over this information to Shu Zhan, and he couldn't explain how he got these judgments.

The rat war is not stupid, and the head-shaking explanation will only bring one result, the sight of being scrutinized, which also means death.

It's the right thing to do if you can't do it. The flag itself has no reason to be able to find the enemy's gathering position faster than those rat knights running wildly on the grassland.

If it did, it would bring suspicion.

Unless this thing can be more absurd.

A ridiculous and humble guy, because of an almost impossible idea, led a team of weak and weak guys deep into the hinterland of the vast grassland and brought back traces of the enemy.

No! Not only to bring back traces of the enemy, but also to bring back a victory!

That night, Banner once again pulled together a team, a team composed of all kinds of defective ratmen.

It's still the same as last time. With no choice, the only option is to recruit the most inferior and inferior slave rats.

Qi's expression was not as relaxed as last time.

But he still held the battle flag tightly in his hand.

He had no more options.

Make it or die, that's all.

………….

On the vast grassland.

The construction of the Skaven's seventh city began.

Although Rat War is aggressive, it is not reckless.

The connected cities are the basis for his offensive and the key to maintaining the logistics of his huge army.

Facing this vast grassland, he had no other choice but to hibernate and wait.

The army in hand began to grow again while dormant and waiting.

The resources consumed to build a city are not a small amount, and it takes time. The first prairie city closest to Prairie City has not yet completely stopped construction.

This is still under the condition that Rat War’s requirements for cities are not strict.

Just places where large numbers of Skaven can gather.

But even so, these cities are built with a large number of blood mushrooms.

And there are seven such bottomless pits on this grassland at this time.

But it had no impact at all on the rat war.

Shu Zhan didn't put a single blood mushroom into it, so of course he still had energy left, and he even continued to expand the Dire Knight.

In fact, the city construction of the rat people, or the city construction ability of the rat people under Du Yuan, is quite rogue.

Because the biggest problem in building a city is skipped.

population.

Normally, a city of an ordinary intelligent race would start with a certain tone and then slowly expand.

Because of population limitations.

You can't endlessly draw people to populate newly established cities.

It can only rely on the passage of time to slowly expand the settlement until it finally becomes a real city.

This is true even for the wild boars whose ideas were plagiarized by Rat War.

The cities they built in the lush forests at the beginning, except for the waste city that was renamed by the rat men to take charge of industry, none of them met the standards.

Compared to a city, it might be more appropriate to call it a military fortress.

If the quilboars can really fill these hastily built cities with quilboars, then it will never be that easy for the ratmen to attack the dense forest defense line.

Because of population limitations.

But the Skaven don't have this problem.

Because the Skaven have a crowded city far beyond the current era.

Underground Rat City.

A true megacity.

The population gathered in the over-expanded underground rat city, not to mention supporting seven cities, can still be supported even if ten or twenty rat cities are built, even for this bloated super giant city. It doesn't hurt your muscles and bones.

This war can be said to be supported by the underground rat city.

This is the Underground Rat City, the first city of the rat people, a city favored by the gods, a super giant city that alone can support the existence of a kingdom structure.

Although Du Yuan has been tinkering and not understanding the extremely confusing logistics of the rat people, the rat people themselves are also tinkering and not understanding.

But if the Rat's logistics is just about scale, it is absolutely huge, extremely bloated and huge.

This huge and chaotic logistics gave birth to super-giant cities like the Underground Rat City, and also provided solid support for the Rat's foreign wars.

Waiting and hibernation are definitely not a failed strategy for the current Rat.

In the support of the Underground Rat City, whether it is the Western Expeditionary Force that conquered the rolling hills, or the Eastern Expeditionary Force that is currently advancing into the depths of the grassland.

Both armies are far from reaching their limits.

Rat War has the capital to wait and hibernate, although he doesn't like such a pause very much, and he has been a little uneasy recently.

Because of a message.

Rat War, who is far away from the Desolate Mountains, is indeed not sensitive to what happened in the Desolate Mountains.

But this does not mean that he can't even control the grassland where he is now entrenched.

When the huge temple guard passed by the Furnace City, Rat War got the news.

Obviously, these guys will not gather here for no reason.

But what are they going to do?

Rat War didn't know, and then he was angry.

"Those two good-for-nothings! Useless things!

I will hang those two useless idiots after I go back!"

That day, Shu Zhan made such a cruel statement.

And he decided to do it when the time comes.

The two rat warlords left in the Desolate Mountains are really innocent. They may not be so outstanding, but such news is absolutely not to be concealed.

It's just that some guys don't want Shu Zhan to know this news.

But what's the matter? Shu Zhan will still hang those two idiots after he goes back.

The confused Shu Zhan had to face this sudden incident.

After a brief thought, Shu Zhan led the fierce knights and rat knights in his hands and turned back from the depths of the grassland to his base camp on the grassland, the grassland city.

At the same time.

The group of rat lords finally arrived on the grassland.

The escorting temple guards did not send them directly to the cities on the grassland.

Instead, they all temporarily settled in the grassland city.

Of course, the temple guards had a good reason to do so.

First, these rat lords who have just arrived obviously don't understand the situation for the time being, and they really need to stay for a while.

Second, several cities on this grassland are still under construction and have not been completed at all.

Of course, there are risks in doing this.

Rat Zhan, who got the news, is rushing here with his personal guards.

Although this guy hasn't figured out what happened yet.

But he will understand sooner or later.

And these guys who were appointed as rat lords don't get along with him.

They are all senior rat priests. These six rat lords are all senior rat priests.

And as everyone knows, the group of guys that Rat Zhan hates the most are rat priests, especially the senior rat priests among the rat priests, who are particularly disgusting.
