Chapter 282, Luxurious Battlefield
The lives of the ratmen in the main continent have undergone earth-shaking changes during this period.
The goods of the Rat Empire have filled the lives of these guys who have been active in the marginal areas for a long time.
The contribution from the visiting rat caravan.
Well, it may also be human things. The fall of two human provinces and the looting of one human province have brought a lot of human creations to these rat caravans.
Purely as waste utilization, or sold as raw materials, in short, you can buy these messy goods in the rat caravan, these things that are regarded as waste by the rat caravan, all kinds of pots and pans, exquisite utensils, soft clothes, these things that are usually precious and rare, have become the favorites of these ratmen in the main continent, especially when the price is still particularly cheap.
But this is not a wise decision.
Perhaps various weapons, resources, or blood mushrooms themselves are what they need more at present.
Of course, blood mushrooms are needed to buy goods, which come from the preparation of rat wars and the production in the blood pool. The preparation of rat wars accounts for the majority.
Every once in a while, along with those indifferent guys, there will be a large number of blood mushrooms.
This is a dangerous signal.
Rat War is not a stingy guy, but when he is generous to you, you really need to think about what that guy needs you to do.
However, the ratmen on the main continent do not know this. They have been a little too happy recently, indulging in the sweet happiness brought by blood mushrooms.
But what is coming will always come.
In Lianyan Province, the rotten situation is about to come to an end and is about to be ended.
The royal knights cleaned up the land vigorously, and the rat warlords fled in a panic with their own troops. Most of the defeated rat warlords were recalled by Rat War and filled into the stretch of positions.
Defense is a very easy-to-execute order. These defeated rat warlords are very dedicated and responsible. This is the price of defeat. The losers are not qualified to look forward to more.
The order given to them by Rat War is very simple, defend the area they are responsible for, or die.
This is a very simple and easy-to-understand order.
It can inspire the most vigorous fighting spirit.
The royal knights are ready to move forward. They don't need to move forward for long. Just cross the barren mountains at the junction of the provinces in front of them, and then they can reach a very critical position.
Reaching the junction of the four places of Golden Province, Lianyan Province, Plateau, and Nameless Province, it is stuck in the throat of the Eastern Expeditionary Force.
If they really do it, it will be a very dangerous situation.
Rat War has been unable to spare his hands recently, but the scale of this royal knight is not that large.
If this is an army of astonishing size, even if it is not a knight, but just an ordinary farmer, stuck in this position, then Rat War will definitely be restless.
But the number of this knight is still too small.
The figures of the royal knights have not yet appeared in the barren mountains at the junction of the provinces, and the big claw priests have set off first.
Accompanied by the endless slave rats.
These guys will not be put into battle directly, because they really have no combat power, but every battle is really inseparable from them.
Standard front-line model workers.
Tunnels, underground tunnels, chambers for hiding soldiers, and various fortresses and outposts are being built at a very fast speed.
Just waiting for consumables, no, it should not be described like this, it should be said that they are just waiting for brave warriors to move in here.
When the ratmen on the main continent noticed something was wrong, it was already a little late.
These guys are really not very good soldiers, and even as consumables, it is a bit reluctant.
Fortunately, the tunnels and fortresses built by the big claw priests are still very powerful.
At the same time, another group of equally professional guys also arrived at the battlefield.
They were a group of guys with cold faces and a little stunned, but they were soon dubbed as devils.
Whether on the front line of the war or behind the battlefield, death is so common.
The front line of the war, trampled, penetrated, and cut off.
Behind the battlefield, being penetrated, being hung up, being hung high.
Countless ratmen were hung high, swaying with the wind.
The world was dark. Perhaps the low-light vision was not a good thing sometimes. At least the guys who were hung high up looked so clear, and death was displayed directly in front of them.
The devil-like guy would not allow any retreat.
The body couldn't help but tremble. Compared with the same race that grew up in the twisted country, the ratmen on the main continent were more simple.
In fact, such a display did not involve the participation of the temple guards. These guys' techniques were still more sophisticated.
Breaking open the chest, cutting off the limbs, death would not come for a long time, but the wailing could be continuous. Such a picture was undoubtedly more impactful and more artistic.
Although such art was undoubtedly a bit advanced for the compatriots on the main continent.
It was enough to do it now.
At the beginning of the war, the ratmen on the main continent behaved very badly. They exchanged most of the blood mushrooms for some flashy things.
On the battlefield and in the tunnel, a large number of ratmen wearing tight silk robes and dazzling gold and silver ornaments trembled as they fought with the golden knights who broke into their sight.
It must be said that these guys were dressed quite luxuriously, but they died in a rather sloppy manner.
Gold, silver, jewelry, intricate and delicate patterns, and priceless silk, these things were scattered all over the battlefield along with the death of a ratman. If a lighting spell was fired into the sky at this time, then all kinds of shining objects would probably dazzle people's eyes.
These were good things that the ratmen took out from the treasure houses of the nobles.
But at this time, there was no other effect except dazzling.
The ratmen on the main continent were disappearing rapidly, like long candles that kept disappearing as the wax oil slipped and the flames flickered.
They played a role, and the pace of the royal knights was successfully dragged down.
………….
In the underground rat city, in that dark abyss.
Graystone's attempt made progress.
This skeleton with a faint blue color can be used as an energy source. The long-haired rat's idea is not wrong.
The power buried in the totems of those heretical gods does have a large part of universal formulas, all of which are guiding the magic power diffused in the world.
It's just that the power of the various heretical gods, or the power of faith, was used to stimulate these formulas.
And these faint blue skeletons can replace the power of faith.
A simple pattern painted on a leather scroll was carved on the stone wall, and a small piece of bone was taken from the skeleton in his hand and embedded in the center of this simple pattern. There was a reaction, and a hazy blue light appeared at the bottom of the dark and deep abyss.
A gust of wind appeared and blew on the face of the gray stone.
At this moment, even this stupid guy's face showed some excitement.
Obviously, not only do you have to become a rat priest to be able to use such power, and not only do you have to become a rat priest to fulfill that entrustment.
Joy appeared on his face.
Appeared on the face of this stupid guy.
Although it is a bit wasteful, these pure soul powers can indeed be used as an energy source, and can seamlessly connect many things, such as the power of faith, the magic system, and even more.
It is not surprising that all systems driven by spirit can use these soul powers, which is an extremely high-end power.
What's more, the soul power contained in this dark blue skeleton is extremely pure.
But it is certain that most systems will not use soul power so roughly.
If these dark blue skeletons are used by the mages of the Dark Eyes, then these precious treasures will probably be used directly to increase the upper limit of spiritual power, which is enough to make any mage crazy.
It is not impossible to use it as energy, but how should I put it, it feels like a primitive man lighting a nuclear-powered torch.
You found a group of primitive people in the cave, they shared antimatter energy with you, and used it to light a torch.
It probably feels like this.
It is a waste of natural resources.
However, Huishi did not feel anything about his waste, and there was a happy expression on his face.
The joy did not last long, and some strange sounds appeared around.
The moment the sound appeared, Huishi reacted. The leather scroll in front of him was immediately put away and held in his arms. The short spear on his back was taken off and held in his hand.
His face was full of vigilance, and he was ready to deal with the battle.
This abyss is not safe. In fact, this place is one of the most dangerous areas in the underground rat city. Another dangerous place with the same reputation is the initial temple of the great god.
Although these statements are aimed at ordinary ratmen, they are enough to explain something.
Not to mention the dangerous aberrations that haunt the abyss, just the hungry people who are also digging for food on the flesh and blood land in the abyss are dangerous enough.
These hungry guys have fallen to the point of gnawing on these aberrant flesh and blood, and they will never refuse to try to gnaw on fresh flesh and blood.
In fact, during this period of time, Huishi has fought with these cannibals for several rounds.
Long-term gnawing on the flesh and blood of the same kind seems to have brought some strange changes to these guys. They are obviously skinny, as if there is only a layer of flesh and blood attached to the bones, but both their strength and defense are unexpectedly strong.
The dried flesh became as tough as tanned leather, and could even resist the chopping of a sharp blade.
In the dark corners of the ratman city, some strange things have begun to grow.
Huishi didn't want to become the same as these monsters, but what he and they were doing had not changed much, all of them were digging for food on this mountain of flesh with countless corpses.
But fortunately, at least, at least Huishi did not start to change towards these guys.
The guys who emerged from the darkness this time were not the ratman corpse eaters that Huishi had encountered before, but some more dangerous guys, those twisted and deformed creatures.
Huishi was not sure he could survive.
There were many deformed creatures in front of him, all kinds of strange images.
Tall and thin ratmen with exposed flesh and pointed ears.
Over-inflated ratmen who couldn't even support themselves and collapsed on the ground and crawled.
Ratmen with messy black scales and vertical pupils.
All kinds of weird guys.
Gray Stone held the leather scroll in his arms tighter.
However, these various deformed ratmen did not attack him, but stood quietly in place.
A guy walked out slowly.
A ratman with a hunched back walked out slowly.
When he appeared, these hideous ratman deformities trembled uniformly, and the grievance could be clearly felt.
The ratman did not look at Gray Stone, and his steps were urgent. At this moment, Gray Stone's body was tense, wanting to stab the spear in his hand.
But until this hunchbacked ratman walked in front of him and stood in front of the pattern that was constantly sending out breezes, he still did not make any attacking moves.
Unable to make an attacking move, the body instinctively resisted this action.
He trembled unconsciously, and an inexplicable premonition appeared in his heart. If he attacked, he would die, and he would definitely die.
The long-clawed fingers gently brushed the simple pattern engraved on the stone wall, but it brought out a harsh sound.
Because of the metal glove engraved with a faint blue pattern.
There was a strong curiosity in his eyes, both about the pattern, and about the faint blue skeleton, or about the breeze that appeared out of thin air after such a simple combination.
These made Long Claw curious.
While thinking, he used a little more force, and the metal glove sank into the stone wall in front of him, destroying a part of the pattern that made up this simple pattern. In an instant, this wonderful reaction was interrupted, and the breeze also stopped.
Thinking was interrupted.
He took off the piece of faint blue skeleton embedded in the center of the pattern. The faint blue reminded him of the divine object given by the gods.
Obviously, this was something he had never touched, a magical thing, and he had a hunch that this magical thing should be able to help him.
It was really unimaginable that such a magical thing had been buried beside him without being noticed.
Looking up, Long Claw glanced at the gray stone holding the short spear tightly beside him.
Graystone still didn't put down the short spear in his hand. Facing the instinctive trembling caused by the insurmountable gap, he was still able to raise his weapon, which was better than most ratmen.
The turning point of fate has come.
Playing with the faint blue skeleton in his hand, Long Claws was not going to kill Graystone.
To be honest, Long Claws didn't like Graystone very much. Perhaps because of the courage he showed, Long Claws didn't like brave people very much.
But he also had to admit that his experiment couldn't do without brave people. At least these guys who could bite their teeth and persist in cruel experiments were more able to accept the pain brought by deformation than ordinary ratmen.
Can bring success to his experiment.
This guy still has some use.
Maybe it can help him.
Long Claws gave Graystone such an evaluation.
