Chapter 185, a scarlet pit of flesh and blood, a bloodless war

This war that could not be implemented in a short period of time has entered a stalemate stage.

A deep pit was dug out by a huge army of rat men in the hinterland of the wolf orcs.

Rat Zhan doesn't like continuous stalemate wars, but that doesn't mean he can't fight continuous stalemate wars.

The deep pit is a helpless response to the emptiness and desolation of this grassland.

It is made up of spiraling downward spiral threads.

The huge rat-man army sheltering in this open grassland is like a nail firmly nailed into the belly of the wolf-orc territory.

A large-scale battle broke out during the construction of the deep pit. It was obvious that the wolf-orc king was also aware of the rat war's intentions.

It is hard to say whether the wolf-orcs can be more tenacious in this vast grassland than the huge rat-man army that broke in alone, and can last longer in the long confrontation and consumption.

But there is no doubt that the emergence of this deep pit is not friendly to the wolf orcs.

Fighting and confrontation naturally revolve around this deep pit.

The ratmen's excavation progress is very fast. Although the combat effectiveness of the ratmen scavenging team is really worrying, most of their members are slave rats, including many big-claw priests. To a certain extent, they are a team. A qualified engineering team, and the cost of hiring them is not high, it only requires a few inferior blood mushrooms.

The idea of ​​the Spiral Pit was proposed by the Big Claw Priest in a scavenging team, in order to build a city as quickly as possible for a huge army of ratmen to settle, and also to build a city that would not destroy all the ratmen even if it collapsed. People are safe cities buried deep in the earth.

It's just a pity that the big-claw priest has not yet waited to witness the realization of his crazy idea.

This strange city has only dug a circle of circular ravines in this vast and barren grassland.

The wolf knights broke in brazenly at night, and a corner of the defense line was easily defeated. The newly dug ravine did not stop the charge of this group of wolf knights.

The war situation is rotten.

Even the Great Claw priest who planned the city was sent to meet the gods during this raid.

Such raids happened many times during this time, but nothing changed, and the construction of the city was taken over by another priest of the Great Claw.

The style of this spiral pit was also inherited.

In the death and flames of war, a terrifying pit was built at a very rapid pace.

Yes flame.

The soft soil is really a big trouble, and flame roasting has become a necessary process. The big-clawed priest who took over also has the most essential color of the rat priests, crazy.

There is a lack of fuel on the desolate grassland. Although there are still a large number of coal mines in the industrial area destroyed by the ratmen in the distance, under the eager gaze of the huge wolf knights around them, transportation back and forth is first of all a problem. Secondly, this A greatclaw priest found a better alternative.

Blood was poured on the huge spiraling downward stairs, and the corpses produced in the war were piled up indiscriminately. Most of them were the corpses of rat men, and there were also the corpses of wolf orcs mixed in.

However, there will be fewer corpses of wolf orcs. Those rat caravans that have overcome many obstacles to get here will buy the corpses of these heretics at a high price.

It doesn't matter even if the tail is cut off, but it would be better if it is intact. Naturally, these newly arrived rat lords will not focus on the blood pool and sacrifice.

This is extremely wasteful.

The fur of the wolf orcs is the softest among all the races that the rat people have come into contact with, and is naturally the highest quality. The only thing that can be compared with the fur of the wolf orcs is the down of the young sheep orcs, but compared to that weakness, it has been completely eliminated The destroyed sheep orcs are undoubtedly more popular than the leather of the ferocious heretics who are still confronting the rat people on the grassland.

The skins of wolf orcs can be compared with the skins of half-elves in the ratman kingdom, and they are first-class quality goods.

Of course, even if the skins of the wolf-orcs are indeed of high quality, they can become famous in the rat-man kingdom so quickly because there are people behind them.

Undoubtedly the group of inaugurated rat lords.

A simple operation can make the trophies they obtain from Rat War be sold hundreds of times.

Such profits are the reason why the rat caravans continue to gather towards the rat war army despite the risk of being constantly sniped by the wolf knights.

The battlefield was even divided into two parts. On one side was the rat war and the wolf-orc king who were still confronting each other here. On the other side was the mutual strangulation between the wandering wolf knight troops and the rat-man caravan.

The extreme rewards brought about extreme madness, which also made these rat lords show a rare moment of generosity, and offered the professional rat mercenaries a price worthy of their lives.

On the barren grassland.

A large number of slave rats gathered under the banner of the Big Claw Priest, hunched back and panting while pushing the simple wooden cart in front of them.

The corpses of wolf-orcs were piled high on top of each other on a simple wooden cart, causing the wheels of the simple wooden cart to make a sharp creaking sound as they rotated.

Making these crudely put together wooden carts even more difficult to push, even if the slave rats used their strength.

A slave rat fell behind. With another strong push, the heavy wooden cart rolled forward with a creaking sound. It failed to catch the wooden cart and fell to the ground.

There was a frightened expression on his face, and he wanted to get up and catch up with the team in front.

But it was already too late. Amidst the sharp roar, a corpse was abandoned on the vast grassland.

The slave rats sped up a bit in fear.

This is a rat caravan, not a calm rat caravan.

They are not safe now and are still under threat from the wolf orc troops. For this reason, the big-claw priest does not hesitate to brutally whip the slave rats just to speed up a few points.

But when you are afraid of something, you will face something.

A group of black spots appeared in the sight of the rat caravan from the end of the distant grassland.

The urgent shouts of the Great Claw Priest rang out in the caravan, accompanied by the more severe whipping.

The slave rats became even more powerful in fear.

A group of wolf knights discovered the rat-man caravan and rushed towards it. The rat-man mercenaries guarding the caravan broke away from the team and, with silent shouts, rushed towards the group of wolf-orc knights. .

The slings were waved by them.

These professional rat mercenaries are much more elite than the messy scavenger team. At least they dare to take the initiative to charge towards the wolf knights who are running wildly.

With a sharp roar, they threw the sling, spinning towards the wolf orc knights.

In order to deal with the attack of the wolf orcs, a simple but effective thing was used by these guys.

A rope tied to stones will become entangled in the rotation as long as it collides with the target during the rotation. It is quite effective when dealing with those wolf knights running towards them.

Some giant wolves were hit by these slings, and their legs were tied together. They lost their balance while running wildly, and the wolf knights on them fell down and rolled to the ground.

At this time you can hear the loud shouts of these rat mercenaries.

He shouted loudly in fear, and after remembering the reward promised by the rat man lord, he regained his courage. With red eyes, he raised his spear and faced the wolf knights who were rushing towards them.

Not long after, a brutal fight came to an end, and a much thinner group of wolf knights ran towards the rat caravan in the distance.

Under the whipping of the Big Claw Priest, the slave rats were already pushing the cart with all their strength.

But after all, the speed was still a little behind, and the wolf knights were getting closer and closer to the rat caravan.

The Great Claw Priest's voice was filled with more and more panic, but at this moment, an accident happened.

The cart, which was roughly made of wood, was finally overwhelmed. Amidst the harsh sound, a wooden wheel flew out.

The wooden cart overturned to the ground, and the goods loaded on it were scattered on the ground. At this moment, the slave rats could no longer maintain order and fled in all directions, leaving only the big-clawed priest who shouted angrily.

However, the shouting did not last long, and was cut off by the wolf knights who came over.

This group of wolf knights left a group of rat caravans permanently on the grassland, but there was not much joy.

Looking at the corpses of their compatriots rolling to the ground in front of them, they can see that the wolf orcs who can step onto the frontal battlefield are far more powerful than those guys who attack the caravan from behind.

But at this time, they turned into corpses, scattered in front of them like garbage. They were even unable to restrain the corpses of their compatriots who were dragged behind by the rat people, because there were too many such corpses.

They are unable to restrain themselves.

Soon after, after killing the last escaped slave rat, the group of wolf knights left.

Scenes like this happen everywhere in this grassland. Not every time it will be a victory for the wolf knights, but there will always be a lucky person who is lucky enough to avoid the attack of the wolf knights.

A large number of corpses were abandoned on this grassland, rotting silently as time went by. Those of the wolf orcs were better. As long as the rot did not penetrate the fur, they would be picked up and taken away after being encountered by the rat caravan. Most of the human corpses are left unnoticed.

Death is commonplace for the Skaven.

This scene is just the beginning of a long war.

In the spiral pit.

The flames soaring into the sky have been ignited by the Great Claw Priests. Scarlet blood has infected the land. The piled corpses are used as fuel. The Great Claw Priests hold their flags high, and the magic given by the gods serves as fire.

Flames soared into the sky!

On the front line, the rat people are still fighting with the wolf orc knights. The wolf orc king seems to realize that he cannot stop the rat people from building the city, and wants to get rid of this huge rat man army from the hands of the rat war as much as possible before the pit is completed. tearing flesh and blood.

Rat Zhan once again used himself as bait, and the waving black dragon flag once again arrived at the front line. Rat Zhan faced the wolf orc king from a distance.

Still did not let the wolf-orc king step into the trap.

Pull away.

It's just that no matter how superb the wolf-orc king's commanding skills are, and no matter how many times the rats' losses are multiplied, in the end, one by one, the wolf knights fall in the charge.

As for Rat Zhan, Rat Zhan doesn't care about the damage to the rat warriors in his hands.

When the sun sets, the sky becomes dark, and the fire burning in the deep pit finally goes out.

The piled corpses turned into pale ashes, which spread to the sky in the breeze. The soft soil had a gray-black hard shell in the burning of the flames, and the soil became stiffer.

A faint smell of rust permeated the pit.

More corpses were transported down by the surviving rat warriors on the battlefield, preparing for the next fire that would soar into the sky.

The smell of rust became heavier and heavier in this deep pit, lingering for a long time and unwilling to dissipate, coming from every inch of the seemingly charred land.

Scratching away the scorched black surface, what you see will be scarlet.

The land was dyed red.

The grass in this area should be particularly lush in the next few years, or maybe not. When the pit officially falls, the temple of the god should be settled immediately along with the blood pool.

At night, the wolf orcs attacked again, and the two sides fought in the dark night.

And this is just the beginning of this continuous war.

………….

The production process on the grasslands in this area has been completely interrupted by the rat people, even though the wolf orcs are still not short of food and resources.

The resources looted from the war can currently support them in maintaining the war.

But this situation is about to change when the Rat War falls into a deep pit. The grasslands that have completely interrupted production and grazing cannot support continuous wars.

And the gains from attacking the Ratmen were so meager.

The gray dried mushrooms, the rat men themselves, and the weapons and armor that were not in line with the habits of use.

Gray dried mushrooms are not an excellent food. No one knows what kind of techniques those Big Claw priests used when making this stuff. It smells bad, is hard, and even has a faint mottled mold stain.

If given the choice, even the Ratmen would not want to eat these dried mushrooms.

Then there is the rat man himself. The god of the wolf orc is not as bad as Du Yuan, and he is not ready to step into the realm of evil gods. Blood sacrifice is not recommended.

As for eating it directly….

Sour rat meat is not a good food, not to mention that it is also mixed with some bad contamination.

The wolf orcs had seized the blood mushrooms, which were regarded as the lifeblood of the rat people. A wolf orc priest boldly tried these bright red mushrooms.

The result was not good. He was almost sent to see the gods. Even after he recovered, he would still mutter crazily to himself from time to time.

It was not that he ate low-quality blood mushrooms. On the contrary, he ate an extremely high-quality blood mushroom, a bright two-color blood mushroom.

poor guy.

As for the captured weapons and armor, the industry of the ratmen is indeed stronger than that of the wolf orcs, but the weapons distributed to every ratman warrior are not of such high quality.

The only metal weapon in the hands of most rat warriors is a spear made of pig iron, and the armor they wear is also inferior leather armor that cannot be said to be very good.

The wolf orcs discovered a serious problem. The war with the rat men cannot be said to have resulted in any gains, it can only be said to be a complete loss of money.

This is a war that is bound to lose money.
