Chapter 192, The wonders of the rat people and the circulation of goods

This war is coming to an end.

This group of guys who have lost their courage obviously can no longer afford to make any waste. Even though they are considered powerful beings in their respective races, there are not many guys who have survived now. They are still a huge army, but They no longer have the courage to fight anymore.

In panic, they wanted to escape and escape from this battlefield, but how could the rat people let the group of sacrifices in front of them escape.

The rushing rat army joined the massacre.

At this time an unexpected situation occurred.

Many warriors in this army knelt down. In fear, they wanted to kneel down in front of the rat men in exchange for a chance to survive. Even the powerful deer man warriors fell to their knees. Blockbuster, in order to survive, want to survive, even if it is crawling.

This did have an effect, and the killing of the rat people stopped.

In other words, this move is convenient for the rat people. A living sacrifice is much more valuable than a dead sacrifice.

Even though his hands and feet were tied and dragged forward by the rat people, he still survived and showed a happy look.

These guys have no idea what being captured by the Skaven means.

Those who knelt on the ground were tied with ropes, and those who refused to yield were killed on this grassland.

This abandoned chaotic army did not last long before it was completely destroyed. The war officially ended, and a corner of this vast grassland was literally torn apart by the rat people.

Although this grassland is not even as rich as the rolling hills where the half-elves are entrenched.

But after all, this is the largest piece of land that the rat people have conquered in one go.

Shu Zhan was very dissatisfied. He did not leave behind the wolf-orc king, nor did he completely leave behind the main force of the wolf-orcs. Naturally, the altar of the heretical god was taken away by the departing wolf-orcs.

He still couldn't hold a grand ceremony on the ruins of the heretic god's temple. This irritable guy urgently needed a grand celebration to consolidate his position.

But maybe in the near future, the rat war won’t need to be so troubled. The tunnel stretching from the barren mountains has reached the Furnace City. Soon, the prairie city guarding the throat of this vast grassland will officially welcome the people from Greetings from the Underground Rat City.

On this scarlet battlefield, the excited rat people dragged the slaves behind them happily and impatiently. The tall deer people who were still unconvinced when facing the wolf orcs were like quiet chickens. Pulled by the rat man who was much shorter than him.

There was still fear on his face that had not dissipated.

Teams of ratmen gathered a large number of slaves, wolf-orc corpses, living wolf-orcs, dead wolf-orcs, seriously injured wolf-orcs, intact wolf-orcs, incomplete wolf-orcs, and those ridden by wolf-orcs. Giant wolf.

All these messy things were pushed in front of the rat caravan.

Under the scrutinizing gaze of the big claw priest in charge of the caravan, he carefully selected these wolf orcs in different states.

The most precious commodity obtained in this war are these wolf orcs, living or dead.

Different prices were offered by the Big Claw Priests. Disputes and noises echoed in every place where the rat caravans were stationed. After being forced to hand over a large sum of money to the rat war, these Big Claw Priests began to I was critical of the products that were pushed in front of me.

The intact and living wolf-orcs and the intact wolf-orc corpses with no wounds on their bodies are the most valuable, while the incomplete and dying wolf-orcs are also acceptable.

These guys will be unified and undergo some special treatment after being acquired.

The spears will penetrate into the brains of these still-living wolf-orcs and simply stir them up.

This processing is complete.

This treatment method will not cause additional damage to the leather, and as long as the intensity is controlled well enough, these specially treated wolf orcs will not even die, although there is not much difference between being treated in this way and dying.

The expression was blank, the mouth was open, unable to stand, unable to think, a living corpse.

The location where the leather is processed is not far from the battlefield. Freshly peeled leather is always better in quality. There is also competition among the rat lords, so they have to improve the quality of the products.

Of course, this kind of treatment will also bring about a problem. There is a high probability that these guys who are dealt with will become incontinent. As the transaction proceeds, the area will also have an unspeakable stench.

It's just that the rat people don't care. After all, what's circulating in this stench is the real blood mushroom, the huge blood mushroom that makes people crazy.

One after another, the living corpses were pulled up by the rat people and thrown into the cart behind them, and were piled together with the real corpses.

This horrifying scene caused the anger on the faces of the wolf orc warriors who were dragged here to gradually solidify. They could accept defeat and death, but they could never accept being treated like this and turned into human beings. Incontinent living corpse.

This is really appalling.

They wanted to resist in fear, but it was obvious that they had all been brought here, and the outcome of this war had already come to an end. They were no longer qualified to resist, even if some flexible guys could kill the rats dragging them. People will soon be caught by the surrounding ratmen and dragged back to the ratman caravan.

Such behavior is not useless.

When capturing these wolf-orc knights who are trying to escape, there is a high chance that the rat people gathered here will fight together, and in the struggle, some rat people will lose their lives.

It is common for the surviving ratmen to spontaneously carry the dead ratmen aside and discard them.

Now on this battlefield, the most useless thing is these piled up rat-man corpses.

The transaction continues.

The wolf orc knights feel that such methods are too bad and twisted, and trample on the warriors. Even the wolf orcs who regard other races on the grassland as lambs will retaliate against those powerful warriors. respect.

But this is not visible at all in the Rat Man.

"I curse you! I curse your gods! I curse you all!"

A broken-armed wolf-orc knight who was pinned down by a group of ratmen let out a sharp and twisted roar with a ferocious face in fear.

It's a pity that the rat people couldn't understand the words he shouted.

A spear stained with blood was skillfully inserted into the eye socket of the broken-armed wolf-orc warrior by a rat mercenary, stirring it gently. Soon, the restless wolf-orc knight calmed down, and his ferocious expression gradually changed. Sluggishly, accompanied by a stench, he was lifted up and thrown into a cart aside, keeping company with the living and dead corpses around him.

Of course, the rat people will not respect a commodity, a cargo, or some resources, even if the wolf orcs are particularly expensive.

But would you respect an expensive product? You would just treat it more carefully.

This wolf-orc warrior with a broken arm should be lucky that the rat people couldn't understand his words. Even though the destruction of the brain is already so evil, it is essentially just a way to better preserve goods, not a Deliberate torture.

But if you let them know that you are insulting the great god, then things will really get bad. Believe me, those big-clawed priests who travel with slave rats all year round have never lacked some real torture methods.

………….

Barren mountains.

Next to the Ratman Industrial Zone, a new area was drawn out.

Taking blood mushrooms can indeed greatly extend the life of the rat people, but the blood mushrooms alone are far from enough to allow the rat people to break the boundary between life and death that is engraved in their lives.

The day of death will still arrive as promised. Of course, even then, it is not impossible to continue living.

There is not even only one way, there are two ways for the rat people to choose.

Becoming a hero is the most direct way, but it is also the most difficult. If you reach the end of your life, try to grasp the last straw in front of you, dream about becoming a hero, and want to rely on becoming a hero to extend your life. own life.

Then you will probably never truly become a hero.

This is applicable to any existence, even if you are one of the most high-ranking ratmen in this kingdom of ratmen, even if your body is supported by the most colorful blood mushrooms, it is still full of blood even at the end of your life. vitality.

But it's impossible, it's a dead end.

Then there is another way, another way that can extend life. This way is equally elusive, but for these guys who stand at the top of the rat kingdom, the possibility is slightly greater.

Pray to the great god in a grand sacrifice. If the great god is willing to respond to you, then the gift from the god will be able to extend your life that has come to an end by a few minutes.

The existence of the white rat confirms this possibility, and even took that step to become a hero with the gift of God.

Before the rat-man kingdom was established, and before the great gods set their sights on the rat-men, the white rats were active among the rat-men.

And today, the white rat is still alive.

Even though the white mouse is getting older, the white mouse has not really reached the end of its life.

This is naturally enviable, and also makes people want to imitate. The experience of being chased by death makes people gradually go crazy, and they crazily want to grasp the fragile and ethereal straw in front of them.

Under the whippings of the big-clawed priests, countless slave rats struggled to pull a thick iron chain, and a huge blast furnace was built in this continuous barren mountain range.

This is the largest blast furnace the Skaven have ever built.

Even comparable to the continuous peaks in the barren mountains, a pitch-black blast furnace, a tall blast furnace, a pitch-black blast furnace that is so tall that it is crazy.

This is definitely the craziest building the Skaven have ever built.

A blast furnace made entirely of metal. This crazy guy invested almost all the resources he had accumulated throughout his life into the construction of this blast furnace. This is how he used the mountains of huge steel to build the dark tower in front of him. of blast furnace.

The person who built this blast furnace was a Big Claw Priest. A very unexpected answer, but not surprising. The person who was in charge of the construction of the rat city was the Big Claw Priest. Only the Big Claw Priests could build such a huge blast furnace.

And this is just the beginning, a front-end built to build something even crazier.

In order to raise the steel to cast this dark blast furnace, the Barren Mountains have not flowed out metal products to the Skaven Kingdom for a long time.

If it hadn't been for the arrival of the rat lords, the rat war fighting deep in the grassland would have had to deal with a serious problem.

Shortage of weapons.

The Furnace City, which relied on charcoal to start its industry, obviously could not afford the horrifying demand for weapons brought by Shu Zhan's rapidly expanding army, even though Shu Zhan captured several coal veins during the campaign.

But that only happened recently. In fact, the main logistical pressure on Rat Zhan's huge army fell on those rat lords.

As for where those high-quality and cheap weapons came from, they didn't come from the Furnace City under Shu Zhan anyway, and the barren mountains had long stopped flowing out metal products.

There is only Waste City.

These rat lords who had faintly separated from the senior priest alliance began to instinctively unite with those who were in the same situation as them. This huge order from Rat War successfully helped the rat lord station working in Waste City. Keep your footing.

A fierce struggle took place between the rat lords and the senior rat man priests. The winner has not yet been decided, but the situation seems to have not changed. Even if these senior rat man priests were suppressed by these rat man lords who recruited peace, But the thread of another huge alliance appeared faintly.

Barren mountains.

Just filling this dark blast furnace, which is as tall as a mountain, with ore is not an easy task.

A set of huge gears were inlaid by the rat people on the cliff of the towering mountain.

The rat people dug and placed a huge platform on the cliff next to the blast furnace.

A conveyor belt starts from this set of huge gears and stretches down towards the mountains. A huge pile of ore mixed with dark red and brown ores like a hill is pushed to the bottom of this stretching conveyor belt, and is moved by this slowly rotating conveyor belt. Flow towards the huge platform built on the towering cliff.

The flowing ore will stop on the platform on the rock wall, and when it accumulates to a certain amount, it will be thrown into the towering black blast furnace in front of it.

It is hard to imagine that such a project was actually carried out by the Rat Men, and it did not take long for the Rat Men from the beginning of the construction of this blast furnace to the completion of the preliminary construction.

This is almost a miracle.

Of course, for this miracle, a lot of things were used.

Countless slave rats, the big-clawed priests who drive these slave rats, giant rats, and a faint blue broken gear.

For the smooth birth of this miracle, the rat people paid a huge price.

Whether it's the index that doubled several times in the industrial zone, the construction of the blast furnace, the excavation of the platform, or the operation of the conveyor belt.

Most of them were built bit by bit at the expense of countless slave rats.

The bones of countless slave rats were exchanged for the birth of this miracle.
