Chapter 211, the commotion with long claws
The first batch of 200,000 troops has arrived, marching from the barren mountains. Also arriving at the same time is a batch of crazy war equipment. Sheng Qi used the huge trebuchet that they all agreed on.
The huge rat-man army can also rush to the battlefield through the opened underground passages, but these war equipment can only be transported on the ground.
In the follow-up, more troops, more equipment, more supplies, and a large number of blood mushrooms, rat priests, senior rat priests, big claw priests, slave rats, as long as they can help this war Everything is being sent crazily towards this battlefield.
The temple guards are much more impressive than the rat lords. This towering fortress is built entirely according to the highest standards. Just the part on the ground is comparable to the central city built by the wild boar people in the lush forest. And that’s not even the underground part.
After this lesson, the temple guards began to gather the temples of gods. Not every city is no longer qualified to build temples of great gods.
This decision is still in progress, but the temple guards no longer allow the rat cities on the grassland with only one foundation to place divine pillars and dig blood pools.
From now on, there will probably be only one city in an area qualified to worship the great god.
This measure is very strict.
There is no place reserved for the temple of the gods in this newly built fortress city built by the temple guards.
The fortress city has not been completely built yet, but no one has any doubts about the establishment of this city. The temple guards wandering here have made up the number of 10,000. These 10,000 temple guards can do it on their own. Acts as a high wall.
Unless the grassland coalition forces entangled in the rat war desperately mobilized the main force to attack the temple guards stationed here, it is impossible for this line of defense to collapse.
However, the leaders, kings and heroes of various races in the grassland coalition army will not be so stupid. The stretched battle line will only give opportunities to Rat War. Although Rat War was firmly suppressed, it was not completely defeated. If they turn their offensive defense around, Rat War will lead the army out of the Crimson Pit without hesitation.
The price to pay is too high.
The decisive side of the war still lies in the duel between the huge conventional army in the hands of Shu Zhan and the huge coalition army composed of various races in the grassland.
The temple guards are indeed powerful, but they do not obey the orders of Rat Zhan. Without the support of Rat Zhan, or in other words, without the cover of a large-scale conventional army, they cannot become the absolute protagonists of a huge battle. They are indeed powerful. , but cannot support an unusually large-scale battle. Because of the scarcity of numbers, the number of enemies they face has doubled, and the pressure they have to face is more than doubled compared to before.
Even heroes will suffer from hatred when faced with the endless wheel battles, and the temple guards are only heroic candidates.
This is why Rat War, who has a huge number of rat warriors under his command, is not afraid of the temple guards.
If the temple guards are willing to listen to Rat War's instructions and serve as the sharpest spearhead in large-scale battles, the threat to the enemy will be terrifying.
It's just a pity that such a scene is probably unlikely to happen, and the temple guards will not obey Rat War's orders.
The relationship between them is not good.
The temple guards gathered to guard almost all the temples of gods, but there was one guy who blatantly trampled on this principle.
Rat War will build the temple of gods in a place where it has been suspended for a long time. This is nothing. After all, the temple guards did not control the construction of the temple too strictly before. But Rat War is bad. He never builds temples with the temple guards. They discussed it, and even prevented the temple guards from entering after the construction was completed.
Often only after he leaves this area can the temple guards move in to take over the mess left by Rat War.
In addition, this guy was the first to open an open-air temple, the first to build a temple of gods outside the city, and the first to build a temple at the bottom of a deep pit and open-air.
There has been a long-standing grudge between the two sides, but the temple guards are indeed helpless against Shu Zhan. As a powerful hero, Shu Zhan is not afraid of beheading, and as the commander-in-chief of the Skaven Warlord, Shu Zhan has an extremely large army.
Unless they gather all the temple guards scattered throughout the rat kingdom, they can truly fight a battle with rat war.
But the most essential duty of the temple guards is still to protect the temple of the great god.
In such a feud, it is unlikely that the two sides will join forces. Rat Zhan has lost the qualification to wield the sharpest spear in the Rat Kingdom.
It is strange to say that this guy is also a temple guard.
Under the protection of the temple guards, the most important transfer station on the ground part of the battlefield gradually fell.
During this period, the grassland coalition forces were naturally unwilling to let it go, but the few troops that arrived were torn apart by the temple guards. After several attempts, there were gradually no troops to harass them.
The temple guards indirectly shared some of the pressure on Rat Zhan. Rat Zhan was quite uncomfortable during this period of time. In the grind of the brutal war, the chaotic and huge grassland coalition finally gained a little more coordination.
But this was fatal to Rat Zhan, and he was almost crushed to death.
Ratmen were constantly pouring out of the underground tunnels, and supplies were never in short supply despite the tragic casualties. However, the flaws of the hastily dug tunnels were gradually exposed.
The number of personnel that can be replenished has gradually failed to keep up with the consumption in daily battles. Although the front line will not collapse instantly and can still be sustained, it is inevitable to work hard.
Even though the rat people are used to seeing death, as corpses accumulate more and more, the scattered pale ashes will dye everything in front of them white every morning, and then everything will be dyed scarlet again when it gets dark.
Death, death, death.
The morale of the rat army trapped in the Scarlet Pit is constantly declining, in order to maintain this tragic war.
Rat Zhan is throwing blood mushrooms endlessly. Only when the blood mushrooms fall can morale be boosted and the war can be maintained. In this anxious situation, Rat Zhan doesn't even have time to pay attention to the news that the white rat has arrived in the vast grassland. .
More than once, he passed on messages and asked for blood mushrooms from all parties, including but not limited to the rat council, temple guards, rat lords, and even the senior rat priests he hated the most.
Well, speaking to a Skaven Lord is no different than speaking to a senior Skaven Priest.
In short, except for not directly asking the white rat, the rat war almost opened its mouth to all parties, and this arrogant guy was also beaten anxiously.
It was not until the arrival of the temple guards and the establishment of the hub city that the situation on the battlefield gradually improved.
Gave Rat Zhan a chance to breathe.
But this is not good news. After a short period of calm, there will be an even more brutal war.
The support of the rat people arrived, having traveled a long distance, and the support mobilized from the barren mountains and lush forests was gradually gathering in the city where the temple guards were lingering.
When the forces here gather to a certain extent, they will try to attack the battlefield and join up with the besieged Eastern Expeditionary Force and Rat War.
The same is true for the Grassland Alliance Army.
In the long stalemate, the next wave of support is about to arrive. The grassland gods are forcing Du Yuan, but Du Yuan is also forcing the grassland gods.
The hatred between the two sides can no longer be eliminated. The stronger Du Yuan becomes, the more he deserves to die. The original reservations and the wariness of other grassland gods are being put down, and all the power is being mobilized.
It takes a powerful enemy to create a true alliance.
No matter where the grassland alliance will go after Du Yuan's death, let's wait until Du Yuan dies. Under the pressure given by Du Yuan, these guys really started to become ruthless.
The real all-out war is about to begin.
They don't know that such actions are ruining themselves.
Death, killing, bloodshed, and war will all turn into Du Yuan's ladder and the noose around the necks of these grassland gods.
They didn't know that maybe they would only suddenly realize at the moment when they left the stage sadly that the rope to hang themselves was actually handed over by themselves.
………….
In the barren mountains, the white rat has not returned yet.
But a guy who had been silent for a long time became commotion. Longclaw was not a brave guy, but he was very decisive.
Cowardly yet decisive, with a strange and complex character.
It is not that there are no things in the Ratman Kingdom that contain the power of gods, there are even quite a few.
The sacred pillars and altars in the underground rat city temple, the rat war spears displayed in the underground rat city temple, and the saint’s corpse displayed in the underground rat city temple.
These things are entwined with the strong power of the gods. Needless to say, the divine pillars and the altars of gods are naturally dazzling and bright. The spear that was taken away by Rat Zhan is not easy. It is said that the gods can hold it. Will answer both of your prayers.
The simplest divine object in the underground rat city temple is the corpse of the saint who kowtows to the god.
No matter which of these things they are, they all meet the requirements for long claws, but there is a problem, how to obtain them.
The consequences of thinking about these things will not be particularly good.
The temple guards invested the most core and powerful power in this temple.
But Longclaw is really in urgent need of materials, wants to touch the power of the great god, and wants to conduct his own research. The research is only the last step away.
A place came to mind.
The Underground Rat City is not the only city in the barren mountain range, there is another city that has also inherited the glory of the gods, even though that city and the temple of the gods in it have fallen into silence.
But there are still traces of the former glory.
The white mouse had a rare opportunity to leave the barren mountains, and the impatient Long Paw chose to make the most risky attempt.
