Chapter 312, The Hero of the Old Times

From the greed of these Great Claw Priests.

After all, for them, even if the loss is higher, with such a generous margin, this transaction is still profitable.

As for the dead young ratmen, this has never been a very important issue.

………….

Shu Zhan and Sheng Qi formally met. In the form of a summons, Shu Zhan summoned Sheng Qi.

There is no clear superior-subordinate relationship between the two. After all, although Shu Zhan is the commander-in-chief, Sheng Qi is indeed not under his jurisdiction to some extent.

Sheng Qi is a rat priest, which is a very important point, even though he is only a trainee.

The Skaven Priests and Skaven Warlords are somewhat parallel to each other.

Although this guy Sheng Qi has not made much progress on the road of rat priest during this period of time, which probably has a certain relationship with his dirty work with those guys, but most of it should still fall on Sheng Qi's understanding of divine arts. His talent is really not that strong.

After all, the group of senior rat priests who had a bad relationship with him had probably been sent to heaven in the tragic war on the vast grassland, and Sheng Qi still only knew the madness technique.

Maybe Sheng Qi needs to think about whether he is pious or not.

What holds Shu Zhan in check is his identity as a rat-man councilor. However, at this time, Shu Zhan, who has overcome many obstacles to get here, has no intention of emphasizing his identity as a rat-man councilor.

But he still chose such a method, summoning.

It seems that he is condescending and superior, but this is indeed him, an arrogant guy.

When this news was delivered to Sheng Qi through the Ratmen Chamber of Commerce, Sheng Qi's expression was very complicated, with a little irritation, some uneasiness and fear.

Obviously, Shu Zhan still remembers Liang Zi from that long time ago, and Sheng Qi, who is the weaker party, will never forget it.

Wandering around the battleship anxiously.

Of course he will not forget it. After all, when he was just a young ratman, the name and achievements of rat war had already begun to spread throughout the entire ratman empire. No, at that time it could only be called the ratman kingdom. .

If he had a choice, he would never want to provoke a rat war, but, just, if he had any hesitation in front of the high priest overlooking everything in the deserted mountains, then everything would not be the same as him now. have any connection.

But to really face the rat war, face the famous rat commander.

Sheng Qi was inevitably a little flustered.

This uneasiness did not last long, and gradually, Sheng Qi calmed down.

He decided to go to the appointment, but not in the name of being summoned. He also received divine enlightenment, which was also the favor of the gods. He was not in need of a rat fight, and more importantly, he no longer had any cards in his hand. All gone.

Staring at the battleship at his feet and feeling the intimidating power of the lightning cannon, Sheng Qi felt a sense of security.

He is now the overlord of this sea area.

Shengqi made a decision.

It was at this time that a rat-man running knight next to him rolled his eyes. Now Sheng Qi's uneasiness was not difficult to observe, which made him think. As the boss's most loyal subordinate, he felt that his performance It's time.

Power can indeed change a lot of things, at least at this time when the senior priests of the main war faction rushed to the streets and Sheng Qi broke into the sea to defeat the island residents.

These running knights also want to make progress.

As Sheng Qi has more chips in his hands, he has become more important.

The charging knight who wanted to flatter himself slapped his chest.

"Boss, I am loyal. If it comes to me, I will never retreat!"

The rat-man running knight said this to Sheng Qi righteously.

Showing loyalty is a good thing, but what the Running Knight didn't notice was the strange look in Sheng Qi's eyes at this moment.

Sheng Qi smiled and looked at the loyal running knight in front of him, looking at him a few more times.

The Running Knight became excited. Obviously, he felt that he was going to be noticed by the boss.

Shortly after.

The entire Skaven Western Fleet left the hurricane island that had just been captured.

Gathering in front of a cliff by the sea, the Western Fleet has received a lot of reinforcements during this period of time. However, the previous naval battle was too fierce and the scale did not recover immediately. A second-generation warship As the flagship, together with twenty-two bathtub battleships, this constitutes the entire Western fleet.

Of course, there is another reason for not fully recovering.

In front of the cliff, a large number of bathtub battleships floated up and down. If you count them carefully, the number is even much higher than what you have here. Although there are no second-generation battleships among them, although most of these bathtub battleships are not equipped with weapons at all in order to increase their carrying capacity. , there is no threat to the Western fleet.

But it made Sheng Qi's expression look ugly. .

Obviously, a large part of the production capacity does not seem to flow to him. Well, this may not mean anything, but these damn rat priests and their caravans enjoy the convenience they bring, not to mention giving themselves some benefits. , not even informing myself.

If he hadn't been fighting with those damn human fleets, how could these damn guys dare to sail on this waterway with such arrogance, and even dare to dismantle the weapons on the battleships.

Damn it, these damned rat priests, as expected, these damned rat priests are nothing.

Sheng Qi has already cursed in his heart.

His expression was extremely ugly. Obviously, these rat priests did not care about Sheng Qi, the so-called new ocean overlord.

Although it was the rat lords who did this, it didn't matter to Sheng Qi. After all, the rat lords were indeed appointed by senior rat priests.

However, Sheng Qi still overlooked a problem. While cursing those rat priests viciously, he seemed to be a rat priest.

And what made him look so ugly was not only these rat caravans, but also the rat lightning cannons piled up on the cliff, and the rat war that did not appear at all.

This group of damned rat priests obviously chose to vote with their feet without hesitation for the decision to sell the lightning cannon to the rat war. For them, strengthening the power of the rat war is beneficial to their interests.

After all, the more powerful Rat War is, the more gains it can bring them. As for the conflict between the two sides, the hatred still exists, but the current situation is different from before. They are not afraid of what Rat War will do to them. If they have the ability, they can bring the army over and take them and the Rat City they control together.

But this is a pity for Sheng Qi. He relies on the lightning cannons on the second-generation warships to carry out long-range deterrence, but now he can see that there are many more lightning cannons on the shore than on his warship.

What should he do?

And that Rat War is too arrogant and even unwilling to appear in front of him.

Undisguised humiliation.

Sheng Qi admitted that he was a little afraid of Rat War, especially when the two sides met alone after being far away from the Desolate Mountains.

But this damn guy, this damn guy is too unserious about himself.

Sheng Qi, who was about to explode with anger, looked at the cliff in the distance with a gloomy vision. He could still vaguely see the continuous camp on the cliff, which was just a corner of the scale of the camp of the Eastern Expeditionary Force.

If they fought hard, they would not be able to win, but this matter would not end so easily.

Perhaps Sheng Qi could now understand why the grudge between Shu Zhan and the rat priests could continue so tenaciously.

If Shu Zhan was not really good at fighting, this guy would have been killed by someone at some unknown time.

Of course, new problems have also emerged. Sheng Qi not only did not get along with Shu Zhan, but also the rat priests.

New grudges were born.

The angry Sheng Qi did not stay here for too long, and the Western Fleet turned and left.

Of course, not all of them left. A small boat was put down, and a confused ratman knight sat on the boat blankly.

It was the guy who flattered and showed loyalty.

Sheng Qi was not polite. He was not prepared to be polite to him when he could use him.

Just..., let him kill Shu Zhan! Really?

The Ratman Rider on the boat was in deep confusion at this moment.

Soon, he reacted and used all his strength to row the small boat to chase the Western Fleet that was gradually moving away.

Fake! All fake!

"Wait for me, boss, wait for me!"

The Ratman Rider screamed in despair on the sea.

A strange scene appeared.

A huge strange fleet crossed the sea, and behind it, a small boat was chasing hard.

Shu Zhan finally revealed his traces and appeared on the top of the cliff, watching the Western Fleet moving away in the distance, with a look of contempt on his face.

After seeing this vast and unimaginable bitter and salty river, Shu Zhan changed his mind. He did not give up the idea of ​​hanging Sheng Qi, but chasing Sheng Qi on this endless bitter and salty river became a difficult thing to do.

Unless this guy is stupid enough to step on the shore and come to him.

But obviously, this guy is not that stupid.

And he has more things to pay attention to recently.

He can't spare his hands for the time being.

Just today, some of the ratmen who were thrown out returned to this camp, and also brought the movement of the huge human army.

In fact, it is best to stabilize Sheng Qi at this time, and almost ignore him.

After all, a large-scale battle is about to start, and Sheng Qi also has the ability to cut off the sea route.

At this time, stabilizing Sheng Qi is a more correct idea. At the same time, it is also possible to try to win over Sheng Qi. After all, Sheng Qi's apparent backer, that humble guy, Long Claw, is already dead.

There is no need to think more about the cause of death. Shu Zhan is almost certain that it must be related to that old guy.

All along, Shu Zhan's decision-making in the overall situation of the Rat Kingdom has not been very good, but his intuition is quite sharp.

This can be seen from the fact that he began to plan to break through the blockade and advance into the depths of the human empire before Long Claw died.

That old guy is going to die.

Thinking of this, Shu Zhan could not suppress the ferocious smile that rose unconsciously at the corner of his mouth.

And it's not just that old guy who's going to die. The rat priests who have been fighting against the Rat War are now in a state of collapse. It seems that there is no opponent for him in the Rat Empire, except for the temple guards.

That's why he was so determined to break through the human blockade and come here.

He was worried about the temple guards, especially after he noticed that more and more temple guards were gathering towards the two dark fortresses.

Coming here, he felt that many things were suddenly clear.

Indeed, those rat lords can't interfere with the Rat War at all. As long as the Rat War defeats the human coalition and stabilizes this area, he will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Not to mention the conflict between the rat lords and the white rats, even if these cowards finally choose to turn against him, he can still get food and weapons from the human army.

Even if the white rat has all the power, how can it govern himself who is here?

Just wait.

Wait for the old guy to die.

As for Sheng Qi, Shu Zhan didn't even take Sheng Qi as a thing, especially after he saw Sheng Qi leave in disgrace.

Shu Zhan's sense of smell in this regard has always been not very good.

After leaving the war, he didn't understand many things very well.

Especially after the Rat Kingdom transformed into an empire, the operating logic became more and more complicated and intertwined.

He was still the hero of the old era.

What Shu Zhan didn't understand was that even if he came here, he might still be included in the scope of the Rat Empire, especially after he took the initiative to find the group of Rat priests. After all, the logistics, supplies, and troop replenishment of the Eastern Expeditionary Force a long time ago were all taken over by the Rat Lords and the Rat Council.

And the warriors in his hands were no longer the guys who could rush forward with a wooden spear and a wooden shield.

Rough chain mail, stamped metal spears, war machines pushed onto the battlefield, the copycat enhanced version of the terrifying lightning cannons of the big claw priests, endless slave rat engineering teams, giant rats, and the most important blood mushrooms.

After the layers of the Rat War, the entire Eastern Expeditionary Force's merit system has long become a bottomless pit of crazy burning blood mushrooms. Rat War is not unaware of all this, but the resources consumed are almost all borne by the Rat Council, which makes him unconsciously pull this line up again and again.

All of this, which one can be separated from the Desolate Mountains and the twisted and morbid huge country.

And even if we don't mention these, the lucky guy who was ignored and ridiculed by him will give him a hard time soon.
