Chapter 181, The era of the white rat has not passed yet
Rolling hills, in front of tall sacred oak trees.
After a short period of repairs, the offensive of the Western Expeditionary Force started again
Sheng Qi began to extract the slave rats accumulated in the coal mine veins to replenish the army.
Instead of asking for fully equipped rat warriors.
It would be better to bring in several times more slave rats to fill the battle line. Sheng Qi has no shortage of equipment.
A large number of weapons from the dead Skaven warriors were recovered and distributed.
As for the issue of morale, there is no need to worry.
After the two senior rat-man priests left, the power fell once again to the rat-man priests who were like grass on the wall.
When the uncooperative rat priests were pushed to the forefront of the war by Sheng Qi, pushed into the bell tower, and faced the dazzling magic that was coming.
Smart guys will naturally choose to cooperate. These guys' bones are not that hard.
Even if we can meet, betrayal will happen again.
But Sheng Qi has no more options to deal with these guys.
The army really needs the support of these rat priests. Without them, this brutal siege simply cannot be sustained.
He wanted to learn rat warfare and promote the merit system of the rat army, but Sheng Qi was not qualified to appoint rat warlords, and he did not have a stable rear line and a stable supply of soldiers.
Rat Zhan did not give up all his cities. At least Furnace City and Prairie City were firmly in his hands with his own strength.
Even though there is an additional rat lord in the city in the Crucible City, the real person in charge of the city is still the faction belonging to the Rat War.
It's just that from the beginning of the Rat War, he was controlled by the group of priests who accompanied the army.
The rat lord of the Crucible City was sidelined.
Prairie City is also in an average situation.
He left a supervising team and an army of 200,000 rat men outside the temple of the gods in the grassland city.
Ensure that the five thousand temple guards stationed in the temple can be firmly suppressed.
In name, the purpose is to recruit the rat army. Prairie City, as the key node between this vast grassland and the barren mountains of Furnace City, can also support the rat war army.
But the actual intention is easy to guess, it is nothing more than to firmly block the key node between this grassland and the barren mountains, or it is a threat, or intimidation, or it may simply be untrustworthy.
This ensures that he can at least flip the table on the grassland.
As long as Prairie City is blocked, a major purge can be launched on the grassland at any time, with a clear threat.
Everyone knew full well that no one would be unwise enough to try to irritate this irritable guy at this sensitive moment.
Because Rat Zhan was really deprived of many things in this appointment.
The continuous output brought by the city is directly and completely prohibited, eliminating the possibility of the Rat War relying on building cities to maintain the territory to continuously obtain resources.
This eliminated the possibility of the Skaven warlords gaining independence.
This turmoil was originally caused by the overstepping of the Rat War, and those rat priests were just the unlucky ones who were implicated, although these unlucky ones were not unjustly implicated.
The old white rat draws a red line in the rat war.
As the commander-in-chief of the Skaven Warlord, everything he has should come from war, and can only come from war.
Some concessions were also given.
The rat war is too far away from the barren mountains, and the white rat is too old.
The Furnace City still belongs to the Rat War with the acquiescence of the White Rat, even though the nominal dominance has been changed.
A weak and insignificant senior ratman priest was assigned to the Crucible City.
This is the acquiescence of the white rat.
What happened in Prairie City was the choice of this arrogant guy named Shu Zhan.
Such a move would be unwise.
He could obviously lie dormant for a long time, waiting for the end of the white rat era.
Rat Zhan is too arrogant.
Obviously the result cannot be changed, but he still has to use the power of his hand to force the deflection.
But it’s not surprising, this is Shu Zhan, this is what this guy Shu Zhan did.
He is indeed able to do such a thing. All the glory of the Skaven Warlord is tied to him, and he alone is enough to become a faction.
At least for this moment, it was Rat Zhan who was honored by the name of Rat Commander, not Rat Zhan who was honored by the name of Rat Commander.
There's just one problem.
The era of the White Rat has not ended. Compared to Rat Zhan, the White Rat is more noble, more glorious, and more powerful, even if he is old.
Rope Seven is no match for Rat War.
Most of the proceeds from this war have been sold by him, so there is no need to be so stretched. With the blessing of this huge blood mushroom, the merit system can be tried to be implemented.
The implementation of the merit system can greatly increase his prestige, and can also suppress the Western Expeditionary Force's dependence on the rat priests.
But Sheng Qi, who had suffered a loss, was stubborn and wanted to build his own rear, which was also mixed with some wavering. He was not sure whether he could smoothly mobilize such a large-scale army after breaking away from the rat priests.
But these are things to think about after this war is over.
The return of the Rat Runners brought a rare good news to Sheng Qi.
He was going to get the support of the Long Claws, and although it was confirmed that he would get support, asking the returning team of Skaven Runners about anything else was basically a blank slate.
I don’t know what that support will be, I don’t know when that support will be given, I just know that the long claws will give support.
Makes people scratch their heads.
But no matter how you say it, it is a good thing. No matter how you say it, your immediate boss has a parliamentary seat.
Even if he doesn't give anything, it will be a great help when he is ready to withdraw from the senior rat priests.
But what does he need?
This lesson taught Sheng Qi many things and made him see clearly many false things. In the end, everything will fall into the hands of interests and power.
Easily, those senior rat priests can label him as a neglectful god at will, because they hold the power.
And why they put such a label on themselves was because of interests, in order to eliminate Sheng Qi's qualifications to participate in the sacred sacrifice on the ruins of the heretic god's temple at the end of the war.
It's just a pity that they were easily manipulated by another guy with greater power.
Sheng Qi was very grateful to Bai Shu, because Bai Shu punished these senior rat priests, so he had a chance to break away from the control of these senior rat priests.
More thirsty for power.
At the same time, Sheng Qi thought about the benefits he could bring to Longclaw.
Thinking of the surging flesh and blood and the deformed rat men, Sheng Qi recalled the reason why he deliberately distanced himself from Longclaw after the war against the quilboars.
Shivered.
But when he recalled what those damn guys had done to him, his face became more determined.
He knew what he could bring to Longpaw.
Those half-elf slaves, these guys with claws will definitely be interested.
Before Long Claw could lift it, Sheng Qi spontaneously began to transport the captured half-elf slaves to Long Claw.
This is indeed what long claws require.
It has to be said that Sheng Qi is indeed a very talented rat man in communication, although he may have some misunderstandings about the source of power.
