Chapter 183, the beginning of the terrifying rat plague, the sadistic rat war, and the germination o

The war broke out between Sumeru.

Everyone has things they can't let go of.

The wolf-orc tribe guarding the salt-alkali lake could not let go of the pale lake. Even if their king gave orders and did not hesitate to disobey them, they still lingered around the salt-alkali lake with nostalgia, unwilling to leave.

Because of their power, all their power depends on this pale lake.

This is the case for this wolf-orc tribe, and the same is true for the wolf-orc king.

Rat War found a central area where many wolf orcs gathered.

Located in the absolute depths of the grassland, one needs to cross the entire distance of the Four Seasons Pasture to reach it.

No one could have imagined that Shu Zhan would be able to find this place, including Shu Zhan himself.

There is no problem with the strategy of the King of Wolf Beastmen, if there were not a lot of tails left behind.

The god of the wolf orcs especially likes gold, and the young king of the wolf orcs also inherited this hobby from the god.

And in this mortal world, if you are looking for that dazzling gold, there is only one thing that can give you, gold.

The wolf-orc king especially loved gold. Holding these dazzling golden colors made the young wolf-orc king feel like he was holding the dazzling sun.

However, there are not many gold mines on this barren grassland. One gold mine near the Four Seasons Pasture has been preserved.

After being noticed by the Skaven, a group of Skaven Knights visited the place.

One of the many tails left by the wolf orc was held by Rat Zhan.

A heavy wheel track stretches deep into the grassland as Rat Zhan watches.

This hidden gold mine welcomed the visit of the rat people. The killing was accompanied by flames, and a simple altar was piled up by the rat people.

The dazzling golden color that made the wolf-orc king unable to extricate himself and refused to let go was scattered around the mine like garbage.

The rat people have little interest in these heavy yet soft yellow stones.

The corpses of wolf orcs were piled on this simple altar, and bright red blood flowed out, causing bursts of commotion.

Many new Skaven warriors who joined the army witnessed their great leader's extravagant moves for the first time.

Fresh sacrifices were decapitated, blood flowed freely, and corpses were piled on the altar of the gods.

It was a crude sacrifice, without even a professional rat priest to perform it.

But the effect achieved is almost the same, in the eye-catching bright red, in the piled corpses, in the wanton waste.

The eyes of these rat warriors who set foot on the battlefield for the first time were a little more excited about the flowing red and the piled corpses.

Breathing becomes rapid unconsciously.

If the wolf orcs are obsessed with gold, then the rat people are obsessed with the bright red. The brighter it is, the more beautiful it is, and the scarlet it is, the more elegant it is.

In this scarlet that caught his eyes, he became fanatical, as if he had glimpsed everything he could get.

It's just that this enthusiasm hasn't completely risen yet.

Even if it was completely suppressed by a ferocious flag, it was a black flag depicting complex patterns. It was placed high on the top of the corpses piled up in front of the altar of the god, declaring the affiliation of these sacrifices, and making anyone who did not agree. The supposed fanaticism became calm.

This is the flag of the rat war.

This is also the first lesson Shuzhan teaches his subordinates.

The ruts extended deep into the grassland, and the rat knight ran wildly for a long time without finding an end. This tail would not affect anything most of the time.

Is there really any guy who would lead his army through the vast no man's land just because of a rut?

Do we really not need to take into account the risks and dangers that may exist along the way?

The corpses piled up in front of the altar were not yet rotten, and the huge rat-man army had already moved forward again, heading towards the depths of the vast grassland.

………….

When Shu Zhan led the main army into the depths of the grassland.

Large batches of slave rats also started to move.

The arrival of those senior rat priests is not without any benefit to the rat war.

They took over the matter of reselling the loot by the scavenging team.

Even if both sides hate each other.

However, the two tasks of transporting the supplies of the Rat War army and purchasing the trophies of the Rat War army still fell into the hands of these rat warrior lords.

The alliance of senior rat priests has fallen apart, and these guys have to seek something practical for themselves.

They do these things more professionally than those messy rat scavengers.

The rat priests have been the group responsible for mobilizing and transporting resources for a long time.

Although this matter has recently been taken over by the Great Claw Priest.

But there is no conflict. Most of the Big Claw priests are subordinate to the rat priests.

The Big Claw Priests are more disunified than the Rat Priests, but this disunity is not due to chaotic internal fighting, but the group of Big Claw Priests has been torn into countless large and small groups by the Rat Priests. That’s all.

Because of that obscure dominion.

Countless Big Claw priests gathered under the command of each rat priest.

But now, senior rat priests came to this vast grassland and transformed into rat lords.

The matter of acquiring and transporting the trophies of the rat army was taken over by these rat lords.

Regarding this phenomenon, Shu Zhan turns a blind eye and closes one eye.

Without him, this group of senior rat priests who took office as rat lords also had an ability that he couldn't refuse just like the group of temple guards.

He entrusted the logistics to his unsatisfactory rat warlords.

One blood mushroom can only be exchanged for one resource.

Leave it to those rat scavengers.

One blood mushroom can be exchanged for two resources.

But to these Skaven Lords.

One blood mushroom can be exchanged for five resources.

Rat Zhan didn't want to worry about where the extra resources came from. With such a price, even hatred could not be temporarily put aside.

These damn guys sure are rich.

He couldn't refuse such a price, it was too much.

It's just that this is a pain for the various guys who came to follow the rat war.

But there was no way. Because of Shu Zhan's disgust, the mouse priests would not appear by Shu Zhan's side, nor could they appear by Shu Zhan's side. As the two sides parted ways, the mice priests around Shu Zhan who should have been The stuff that was squeezed out was naturally spilled out.

The young priests, big-clawed priests, and slave rats who came after hearing the news were separated from the marginalized rat priests.

But as the rat war was being attacked, his old enemies had to squeeze into one place.

The rat priests will naturally start to gather these interests that belong to them.

No one expected such a change, but after it actually happened, they had no choice but to accept it.

A large piece of the cake on the vast grassland was taken away by these guys who suddenly appeared, taking it away from the hands of the most vulnerable rat scavengers.

The rat scavengers were unable to resist, but they were unwilling to give up.

Of course they don't want to go back to the past after having already eaten the broth.

There isn't much road left.

Either catch up with the rat war and follow the commander to plunder in the war.

Or just focus on the vast grassland in front of you.

More and more rat scavengers set out from the city and began to follow the footsteps of the rat war.

More and more ratmen were chasing behind Rat Zhan.

But at the same time, more rat people chose the latter.

Vast numbers of rat men set foot on the grassland one after another.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, you will be able to see traces of rat men everywhere in this grassland.

This is not a good thing, after all, these guys are never here to promote friendship.

The rat war has not yet defeated the overlord of the grasslands in this area, but the harm caused by the rat people to this grassland has begun to spread.

A foreseeable disaster has entered the formal accumulation stage.

A horrific rat plague.

The unscrupulous Rat Zhan didn't know exactly what kind of hole he opened. This was the power gathered by countless desperate and wailing lower-level rat people.

These guys are the real majority in the Skaven Kingdom.

Vast numbers of rat-men gathered into teams of various sizes, leaving the rat-men cities standing on the grassland, either with confusion or with eagerness.

They are all humble people who are not looked down upon.

They are also the beneficiaries of this ongoing change.

Du Yuan's relaxation of blood mushrooms is still changing everything in the Ratman Kingdom.

The blessings dropped by the gods finally benefited these poor humble guys.

These ignorant and humble guys will not understand the reason for all this, but their choice was made early.

Great God!

This sentence was shouted out in a remote corner of this vast grassland, at a simple sacrifice.

A group of wandering rat-men captured a fox-man tribe entrenched in this secret corner, and suffered serious losses. Most of the rat-men fell into this fox-man tribe.

But the face of the guy who survived was filled with joy.

A simple altar was built by these guys.

There was an altar that was not standardized and even had errors in its patterns, but these rat men were willing to push the fox slaves who had finished capturing them onto the altar.

In devout prayers, these surviving ratmen gave out fanatical shouts.

"Great God! Great God!"

These guys who were still humble and crawling in the darkness before could not express any more prayers at all.

A line from a great god was mentioned over and over again.

But their expressions were so fanatical and pious.

And this kind of thing is still happening all over this vast grassland at this time.

Whether this is a great change, or even whether it will be a successful change, is an unanswered question.

The war may end, and these guys may be beaten back to their original appearance by those superior guys at any time, crawling back to the dark corners.

But at this time, at least at this time, these guys finally have the right to call the gods.

Great God! Bless us!

Great God! Please protect us!

Fanatical shouts, pious shouts.

Of course, if possible, other races on this grassland would undoubtedly raise objections.

Every tribe and every race, in the foreseeable future, will be swept away and swallowed up by this brewing torrent.

The changes of the rat people will come at the cost of this vast grassland and all the lives on this vast grassland.

………….

After crossing the distance of a four-season pasture, Rat War arrived at the true hinterland of the wolf orcs.

It's not like I wasn't warned.

An army of this size simply cannot hide its presence in this open grassland.

He was noticed by the wolf beasts early.

The rat war did not capture the regular army of wolf orcs. To be precise, they did not capture even a larger tribe.

These guys are very chicken thieves, and they simply don’t want to go head-to-head with Rat Zhan.

This huge and bloated army simply couldn't catch up with these wolf orcs who fled with their families and their families.

But this time the rat war was not impatient at all.

Along the way, Shu Zhan destroyed many mineral veins that were being mined by the wolf orcs. There were even coal mine veins that Shu Zhan had been looking for for a long time.

But he didn't focus on these insignificant things.

As long as he wins this war, as long as he kills these damn guys, can there be any objection to the ownership of these things?

And since iron ore can be mined, Rat War is very curious as to where these guys put their metal smelting place.

Can those blast furnaces burning with flames be dragged away?

run? Are you able to run everything?

He focused his gaze deep into the grassland and showed a ferocious smile.

The huge army of ratmen was rampaging in the hinterland of the wolf orcs, and at the same time, a large number of ratman knights were dispatched.

The wolf-orcs discovered the rat-men's intentions, and a large number of wolf-orc knights were recruited, surrounding the huge rat-man army and fighting with the running rat-men knights.

But in the battle, they were at a disadvantage.

With the huge rat army behind them, the rat knights suppressed the wolf orc knights, and their basic overall quality was inferior to these running wolf orc knights.

Among them, the number is constantly rising, soaring to 5,000, and the fierce knight has become the absolute star among them.

These running wolf orc knights have nothing to do with these heavily armed iron cans.

Moreover, the speed of these ferocious giant rats is much faster than the giant wolves that these wolf orc knights rely on.

The wolf-orc knights who chased the huge rat-man army suffered heavy losses.

Rat War used the scattered rat knights as bait and began to strangle the annoying flies surrounding him.

Not long after, the wolf knights chasing the rat army came to a more distant and safer distance.

It also makes it easier for the Skaven Knights to explore their surroundings.

During the rampage, Rat War found what he was looking for.

Of course, the blast furnace of the wolf orcs is not mobile, even if in order to deal with the intrusion of the rat people, that important area has not been ignited for a while.

But he was still found by Rat Zhan.

For the first time, the wolf orcs in this area no longer fled, but gathered together. A huge team of wolf knights stood in front of Rat Zhan.

To protect the area behind you.

That important industrial area.

This is what Shu Zhan wants to see. With a ferocious smile, Shu Zhan announced his march. There is no more command for this huge and bloated army and no more command is needed.

It was a black mass of rat men with no end in sight.

Perhaps there were two pieces. Behind the regular rat army, an equally large group of rat scavengers also started to charge.

Even though there are not many wolf orc knights gathered in front of them.

There were approximately 60,000 people, which was already the largest cavalry team that Rat War had ever encountered on this grassland.

But the army in Shuzhan's hands is already different from what it used to be.

Sheer quantity brings absolute advantage.

The continuous stream of rat people is enough to wear away all courage and confidence.

At the last moment, the commander of this wolf knight team lost his courage. With the waving flag, this huge wolf knight missed the rushing rat army.

Not resigned, but lacking the courage, he wandered around the rat army, witnessing this huge rat army coming like a tsunami and engulfing the industrial area he was guarding.

But in the end, I still didn't have the courage to launch a charge with almost no possibility of victory.

In Rat Zhan's annoyed expression.

"Damn coward!"

Fury roared in the center of the army.

The industrial area of ​​​​the wolf orcs was pushed into ruins by the rat men.

The wolf orcs are quite wealthy.

Even though this raid did not yield many slaves, the various weapons and resources abandoned by the wolf orcs in the industrial area still made the rat people extremely excited.

Because of the evasive strategy of the wolf orcs, the rat army following the rat war has not used meat for a long time.

Until now, I was rummaging through the ruins looking for anything useful.

Various weapons and armors became the first items that the rat warriors searched for. Although they would not use these items, the purchasers who arrived later would still be picky about them.

These buyers organized by the rat lords also have an advantage that the rat warriors cannot resist.

That is settled on the spot.

Bags of blood mushrooms will be put on the battlefield in exchange for the trophies in the hands of these rat warriors. This is simply impossible to refuse.

As for the gains from the Rat War, in the future, a large team of rat transporters will come here and transport away all the piles of iron materials and piles of coal mines piled in the ruins.

These things will soon be turned into weapons and sent to the hands of Rat Zhan.

The rat lords have given more generous conditions for the rat war, which of course will only be given if it is profitable.

They will provide supplies to Rat War at the price of five supplies and one blood mushroom, but will purchase the trophies of the rat army at the price of ten supplies per blood mushroom.

In the end, a considerable portion of these trophies will be returned and sold back to Rat War.

In any case, this is a good deal.

Of course, there will be certain risks, that is, the risk of being attacked. Rat War will not guarantee the safety of this transaction.

Anyway, he will deliver the blood mushrooms when the things arrive.

Due to the contract signed with the Rat War, they were unable to organize their own troops, so some large rat scavenger teams were organized.

Of course, these rat lords, like Rat Zhan, don't think highly of this rabble.

But in order to earn the blood mushrooms from Rat War, there is no better way for now.

More stringent requirements were put forward for these rat scavengers.

Under this opportunity, a group of truly professional rat mercenaries began to appear on this vast grassland.
