Chapter 199, the destiny of the rat people, the power buried in the patterns of the gods, the gift o

If you want to maintain order, if you want to keep everything under control, it's not easy, he rapped his knuckles on the table.

The rat war alone seemed like an insurmountable mountain.

The artifact given by the gods, the wooden spear shining with hazy light was still solemnly stored in the sacred hall of the underground rat city.

That was Shu Zhan’s destiny, his destiny that had been stripped away.

If there is no way to prevent Shu Zhan from retrieving this artifact, then the destiny of the next era will already be clear.

Even though this arrogant and violent guy is not suitable to lead an era.

He knocked on the table in front of him unconsciously.

The protagonists of the Skaven Kingdom have always been born with the gaze of the great gods.

This has been the case since the first sight of the gods in that barbaric era.

Whether it is the Skaven Warlord or the Skaven Priest, both parties take the stage under the watchful eye of the great god.

There was nothing wrong with this matter.

But now, those who are qualified to take over and lead the next era all have some problems more or less.

A new era is about to begin.

Should the future of the Skaven Kingdom be led by guys like them who are more or less flawed? The answer has already emerged.

If they were suitable, then they would not be born.

His eyes fell on the figure who was placed in the highest position in front of him and watched everything indifferently.

"The Skaven Kingdom needs to return to order, and the Skaven Kingdom needs to embrace war."

"For your will."

Looking at the figure who was watching everything indifferently, he murmured in a low voice.

Whether it was Rat Zhan who received the blessing of the gods and dropped the artifact, or the rat priest who was the messenger of the gods and gave birth to a saint, even Sheng Qi was far more qualified than the temple guards.

Sheng Qi's teacher, the rat priest who turned into a holy object is still displayed in the small temple and is worshiped by the rat people.

They all represent the great god better than the temple guards.

But at this moment, the white guy had already begun to say such words.

"It's also for the gods."

The old era has not passed yet, and the curtain of the new era has only opened a shallow gap. Some people have already withdrawn, some are arrogant and arrogant, and some are obsessed with the things in front of them and are indifferent to everything. Some people are already ready to take the stage.

It's just that all of this still needs to wait, waiting for that superior guy to pass away.

………….

Prairie City, noisy ruins.

This noisy and messy place has also seen some changes.

The most significant change is probably a stone pillar erected in the center of the noisy ruins.

The simple and crooked patterns carved on this stone pillar are not standard and full of errors, but they are enough.

This noisy and messy place is not without the presence of excellent carvers.

Just such a crude stone pillar is enough. If the pattern is more accurate, then soon the temple guards will arrive at this ruins that they have never bothered to take a second look at.

For these humble guys, such a crude stone pillar is enough.

From time to time, rat men would come and kneel in front of this stone pillar.

Take out the things that are extremely precious to them and offer them to the great god.

A humble guy cannot give rich and precious sacrifices.

Dead mice, wriggling worms, green grass, all kinds of things, but they were the best they could give.

Regarding sacrifices, every rat man is so serious and will not be perfunctory at all.

The mice caught will be the fattest, the grass must be the freshest, and the worms must be the most slender. Once you let go of your hand, the worm will be able to wrap itself into a ball, like this Worms are the best and can be offered to the great gods.

For sacrifices to the gods, these humblest rat people have their own set of selection criteria.

Recently, the circulation of blood mushrooms among the rat people has become less and less, and it is not because of the arrival of the rat lords.

In fact, the battles between these rat lords spilled more blood mushrooms onto this grassland.

But more, the blood mushroom returned to its original function and was eaten.

Because of Du Yuan's blessing, after the pain caused by the deterioration of the bloodline was healed, blood mushrooms became the best tonic, which could make the weak body strong and make the fate of the defective person happen. Change.

For the first time in the Ratman Kingdom, the concept of free people appeared.

Born from Du Yuan's gift, those rat men hiding in the shadows of the city, the group of rat men chasing behind the Eastern Expeditionary Force.

After the distortion and deterioration in the bloodline were erased, these guys were freed.

The Rat Council stripped away the independence of the Eastern Expeditionary Force from Rat Zhan, but put more resources and troops into Rat Zhan's hands.

This brought about a problem. A large number of young ratmen produced in the breeding rooms were directly deployed by the Ratmen Council. After grabbing a simple spear, they were filled into the Eastern Expeditionary Army in the hands of Rat War and became that huge army. part of.

But with the expansion of the control area and the construction of more and more cities, a gap in the vast grassland appeared.

But some needs are urgent.

Like those competing needs.

Everything can be moved, but when competing with competitors, you must not lose.

Due to the coordination of the Skaven Council, there is a huge gap among the young ratmen.

The newly formed teams of rat mercenaries also need to replenish their troops.

As a result, the rat men who had just crawled out from the chaotic scavengers in the dark corners of the city were brought into sight.

To be fair, these guys are good soldiers, at least they are not as noisy as those young rat men.

Although it also exists as a consumable item.

The blood mushrooms flowed into the hands of this group of rat mercenaries, and the gradually declining weapons and armor workshops in the prairie city were also saved.

The weapon workshops and armor workshops that originally fell into silence with the departure of the Eastern Expeditionary Force and the clearing of scattered tribes by the rat people in the surrounding area were in the battles between the rat lords, and the battles between the teams of rat mercenaries. came alive.

But the things produced by these weapon workshops and armor workshops are really not difficult. In the noisy ruins of the prairie city, a man who walked out of the shadows of the city, the former defective ratman, opened the weapons of the Big Claw Priest. I stopped outside the workshop for a long time.

Many days later, a simple but decent blast furnace was built for the first time in the noisy ruins of Prairie City.

Under the curious gazes of many low-level rat men, one rat man raised the hammer in his hand high, his face full of excitement.

He stole this hammer from a weapons workshop at the risk of being beaten to death by those Big Claw priests.

In the excited expression, the hammer fell heavily, hitting the hot molten iron that had just flowed out of the blast furnace in front of him. At this moment, the hot molten iron splashed in all directions, splashing all over the rat man who was lifting the hammer, and also splashed on the The rat people gathered around this simple blast furnace to watch the excitement.

In an instant, frightened screams echoed in a corner of the noisy ruins.

A failed attempt is also the foreshadowing before success.

Soon after, a weapons workshop was officially opened in the noisy ruins.

It's not a big thing, but it represents a possibility. With Du Yuan's blessing, the low-level rat people who have escaped their humble fate are climbing out of the shadows and looking for a way out for themselves.

It seems to prove one thing.

Maybe there is no need for rat priests, they can survive tenaciously in this land alone.

These guys were not born in those twisted breeding rooms, nor were they bought and sold like goods, although not long ago they were more humble than those goods being bought and sold, huddled in the shadows.

Until Du Yuan gave them a chance.

………….

Pull open a piece of leather. This is a piece of leather that has been finely processed, delicate and translucent.

It takes a lot of effort.

Only after removing the attached fluff, scraping off the grease, soaking in urine, and drying in the sun can such leather be obtained.

She spent a lot of effort to learn this in the ratman lord's leatherworking workshop.

Excited to unfold, unable to put it down.

Spread on the stone table in front of him, he eagerly took out a carving knife and carved on it. Soon, an elegant symbol appeared on the spread leather.

He skillfully cut open the flesh and blood on his wrist, and little bits of blood flowed out.

The dumb rat man standing nearby watched this scene happen, with some fluctuations in his emotions, but in the end he said nothing.

The blood was caught in the small bowl, and various ground powders were mixed with it.

A bowl of bright red dye was made, which was carefully taken out and applied on the carved elegant symbol.

The expectant gaze was cast on this leather, and it lived up to expectations. A hazy cyan light was born from the elegant symbol carved out, bringing out a breeze.

But this light did not last long, and soon dimmed.

But it's satisfying enough.

In the joyful words, the slender and short rat man raised his head and said to the dumb guy standing to one side with a smile.

"Look! I did it!

I'll just say it, I'll just say it!

There must be a secret in these patterns! "

In joy, the slender little rat man raised the leather in his hand high and looked at the dimmed pattern on it with fascination.

But this joy faded soon after.

Putting down the leather in his hand, his eyes fell behind him, where a piece of equally exquisite leather was displayed. This piece of leather was even larger, and the patterns engraved on it were also more complicated.

This is a familiar pattern, a pattern that was worshiped by the rat people and enshrined by the rat priests. It copied the pattern carved by Du Yuan when he cast down the sacred pillar.

Looking at this pattern, the obsession in the eyes of this slender little mouse became even more intense.

"Great God, what secrets did you leave behind?"

Whispering in obsession.

On one side, the face of the dumb rat-man who was guarding the side showed a hesitant expression. His eyes stopped on the scarred wrist of the slender little mouse-man, and also on the slender little mouse-man. In a very short period of time, the body has lost a lot of weight.

Qi kept his promise and sent back one after another totems from the wolf orc tribe, strange tools and some strange stone sculptures.

The thinking of this short and slender rat-man is both correct and incorrect.

There is indeed power in the patterns dropped by the gods. She successfully found this pattern on a strange totem pole that could disturb the breeze.

This proved that her thinking was correct and also opened up a new possibility for the rat people.

But the target she chose was wrong, because there was no secret hidden in the stone pillar left by Du Yuan.

………….

As the army expanded, Shu Zhan's management of the army gradually became somewhat stagnant.

The army is too large and continues to expand, and it has almost exceeded the command limit of the Rat War.

But he has yet to appoint a new rat warlord.

Rat Zhan didn't have any special taboos about the appointment of rat warlords, but since the disastrous defeat in the second expedition, he had made up his mind not to place too much expectations on these guys.

If that city could be captured by him sooner, many things would be very different.

But those guys were too short-sighted and ruined everything.

Thinking of this, the expression on Shu Zhan's face became a bit ferocious.

As the great commander of the rat people, the rat generals in Rat Zhan's hands were lackluster. Even before, they were more dealing with logistics-related matters.

Because he simply doesn't trust these idiots in his hands.

However, as the army in hand gradually expanded, they still had to spread out some of their power in order to end this protracted war as soon as possible.

The rat people have already eaten one-third of this vast grassland, and a large number of tribes and grassland races are rushing towards the depths of the grassland as he drives them.

The grassland is getting more and more crowded.

If Rat War's judgment is correct, then a counterattack will probably happen soon.

It should be soon. The rat knights who spread the news brought back a message to rat war, and some sneaky guys showed signs of it.

But for the counterattack that was about to come at any time, Rat Zhan was not panicked, and he did not even try to divide the increasingly large and slow army in his hands.

Even though this would be a clear breakthrough after the war started, Rat War had no intention of making up for it.

It is not easy to get something in his hands. Although he has always kept his promises and the criteria for judging are very simple, even if these guys are appointed separately, they will only be used as cannon fodder.

But it is far from easy to obtain his gift.

A wicked smile appeared on Rat Zhan's face.

Who will be the lucky ones this time?
