Chapter 145: The Charge of the Rat Knights, the Discovery of the Coal Mine, and Sheng Qi's Decision Again.

A team of rat knights ran on the vast grassland.

There is a gap between the rat knights under Shu Zhan and the rat knights under Sheng Qi.

If Sheng Qi's rat knights are more like an all-terrain monster infantry than knights.

Then the rat knights under Shu Zhan meet the definition of knights in a broad sense.

Cluster, line up, rely on high mobility and strong impact to fight.

Especially after Shu Zhan exchanged a large number of metal weapons from the Desolate Mountains.

A metal spear and a rough war stick are the standard equipment of rat knights.

They found the target this time.

On the grassland not far away, the tent appeared in front of them, and as they moved forward, they continued to appear in their sight until they completely filled the sight in front of them.

Then there were the endless giant sheep, the sheep people busy in the camp, and the sheep knights riding big-horned giant sheep running in the giant sheep flock.

This was the first time these rat knights saw so many living things.

Well, maybe it wasn't the first time. The City of Revelation in the Wetland Kingdom was obviously more prosperous. After two days and three nights of killing, the heads were piled up like a small mountain.

But no matter how prosperous the City of Revelation was, you could only see a corner of it when you got close to it.

And on the vast plain in front of him, everything was clearly visible.

The difference in numbers between the two sides could be observed intuitively and clearly.

The Rat Knights hesitated a little.

No one wanted to face a battle that was bound to fail.

There were only 500 Rat Knights.

In front of him, there were at least 50,000 sheepmen gathered in the vast camp. Although only a part of these 50,000 were warriors, it was still a difference of more than 100 times.

This fertile four-season pasture nurtured these races gathered here.

If Rat Zhan saw the camp in front of him, he would be very happy.

The hesitation did not last too long.

The metal spears behind them were all held in their hands, under the action of the leading rat knight captain.

When Rat War was building the rat knight troops, the dull rat supervisors were the first to enter his sight.

What else could be more suitable than these rats who were born with defects, dull and slow to become a team destined to charge against the battlefield?

And they have precious qualities that are extremely difficult for ordinary rats to possess, loyalty and the rigidity that is carried through to the end.

Rat War asked them to launch an attack.

The leading knight captain listened.

So at this time, the charge was about to begin.

A rough battle flag was carefully raised by the knight captain.

This was what he had recently spent a lot of blood mushrooms to exchange for, thinking that this would distinguish him from other knight captains.

But in fact, it is called a battle flag, in fact, it is just a piece of rough unknown leather on a straighter piece of wood.

It can be seen that the craftsmanship of the guy who made this battle flag is not superb, and only a simple section of the god's pattern was engraved on it.

But the captain of the rat knights liked it very much.

He held the battle flag tightly in his hand.

He charged without hesitation.

There was no call, no mobilization before the charge, only the charge in silence, and the rough battle flag fluttering in the wind.

Rigid response to orders was the only thing that these guys with defects could implement.

It was also the only reason why they could become the rat war guards.

The sheep beastmen found such a team rushing towards them.

At the same time, there was a little doubt.

How dare these guys?

In the past few days, they found a lot of strange guys in the nearby grassland.

They appeared continuously, but they were so weak.

They were easily driven away and killed, and strangely, many of these weak guys knew spells that only priests could use.

But why are they so weak?

Now there is even a team of knights.

But what is the use of such weak knights?

A team of sheep orc knights ran out of the tent and rushed towards the rat knights who were rushing towards them.

A round of volleys, a large number of arrows fell, and there were a large number of light cavalry with bows on this grassland.

The sheep orcs are particularly proficient in this, because their mounts, the giant sheep, not only can bring extremely high mobility to their knights, but after being approached, these irritable big-horned giant sheep can also complete acceleration in the first time and hit the opponent without hesitation.

Arrows fell one after another, and rat knights kept falling off the giant rats.

It was even difficult to get close.

Compared with the knights riding giant rats, the running giant rats became a greater threat.

After being attacked in large numbers, these giant rats will fall into a dangerous state of frenzy.

But they also couldn't touch these flexible sheep knights.

Easily evaded.

The battle was over soon.

The unarmored rat knights had no way to face the flexible light cavalry in front of them, and they were stiff and dazed, and they didn't carry any long-range means.

They didn't even think of throwing the metal spears in their hands, but just charged.

All fell on the way of charging.

A weak knight.

This conclusion was easily drawn by the sheep orcs.

Soon, they began to clean up the battlefield.

This group of weak knights actually had metal weapons, which must be recycled.

Until a scream suddenly appeared in this area.

It immediately attracted the attention of other sheep orcs.

Among the large number of rat knights who fell to the ground, a rat knight with red eyes stood up, and a sheep orc knight who was cleaning the battlefield was pierced by the spear in his hand.

The scream came from him.

The spear was pulled out.

Blood dripped from the tip of the spear.

The sheep-beast knight fell to the ground, and the rat-beast knight with red eyes launched another charge with a sharp neigh.

Waving the rough battle flag in his hand.

Holding the metal spear in his hand.

This rigid and dazed guy still rushed forward.

Until an arrow flew from a distance and sank straight into the chest of the rat-beast knight.

Madness was frozen on his face.

The captain of the rat-beast knight fell to the ground and died.

After a while, the sheep-beast man dared to approach again.

The metal spear in his hand was taken away, and the rough battle flag that was tightly held was regarded as useless and left.

In the distance, a sheep-beast man with a bowstring looked at this scene.

Acknowledged the bravery of the rat-beast knight captain.

"He is a brave guy, but unfortunately, he is too weak."

Shaked his head.

He took the metal spears from the rat knights from his sheep beastmen.

Even though the spears were a bit rough.

The sharp iron rods with uneven surfaces might be more suitable to be described as such.

But the cold metallic luster could not be faked.

But he remembered that only the wolf beastmen on this grassland had the technology of metal smelting and could produce metal weapons.

Where did these guys come from?

Did they also have the technology of metal smelting?

Some unreasonable thoughts and greed appeared in the heart of the sheep beastman.

Who doesn't love metal?

This news was reported to the upper level, a weak race that seemed to have mastered metal.

It caused a little ripple.

The top leaders of the sheep beastmen finally paid more attention, but not because of the foreign land that appeared, but for the possible metal veins.

They began to actively look for the place where the ratmen gathered.

Although what they didn't know was that they might not need to look for it.

A guy came to the door by himself.

The mighty team left the simple fortress in the mountains.

And a large group of rat knights appeared at the front of this huge team, led by Rat War.

At the same time, a large number of rat priests carrying scattered teams also filed out of the simple fortress.

They were not part of this team.

But their number was not small, like the wild dogs behind him. If the battle went well, these rat priests would not mind joining the battle, or after the war, attack the scattered areas where small-scale battles still existed.

Like the humble wild dogs picking up carrion.

Those rat knights did not come back.

It was like a signal.

The cruel war will be officially set off by Rat War in the grassland.

If those sheep orcs are still so indifferent, then when Rat War arrives near the camp, a painful lesson will appear.

During this period, the size of the army in Rat War's hands has expanded again.

Two hundred thousand rat warriors.

20,000 rat knights.

This is the capital of the rat war to conquer the grassland in front of them.

………….

The area of ​​the hills.

The first encounter between ratmen and half-elves.

The result was not particularly good.

The hills were originally the home of the half-elves. The rat priests who were exploring the mines did not have many troops. Facing the half-elves' pioneering team, they were beaten and fled.

The embarrassed escape from the hills boosted the morale of the half-elves.

Until a coal mine was discovered in the mountains.

The rat priests who fled back in a panic brought this news.

In an instant, a decision was made together.

A large expeditionary force was quickly organized.

With Sheng Qi as the commander.

Yes, Sheng Qi is still the commander, even though the Waste City is not peaceful.

The Rat Priests inherited their fine traditions.

Despite fierce infighting and self-consumption, Sheng Qi is quite popular and firmly sits in the position of the army commander.

Perhaps it is because he still has only one divine art, yes, Sheng Qi still only knows one berserk art.

A priest who only knows berserk art is also an ordinary commander.

This guy has played the misaligned competition very well.

Knowing only berserk art can hardly threaten the status of other priests, and knowing only berserk art also ensures that he will always be a member of the Rat Priests.

But at the same time, he is a commander with experience in commanding large-scale battles.

I am the best priest among the Rat Commanders, and I am the best Rat Commander among the priests.

Sheng Qi has embarked on a completely different path from Rat War.

It cannot be said that this path failed.

Because at this time, the army he led was larger than Rat War, and the equipment was more elite, and there were even two senior priests stationed in the army as support.

His Western Front expeditionary force gathered 400,000 rat warriors, at least 5,000 official rat priests, 50,000 rat knights, and two senior rat priests.

Most of the 50,000 rat knights were equipped with thin iron armor.

Although the armor was indeed thin, it was equipped to each of the 50,000 rat knights.

And the 20,000 rat knights in the Rat War mostly had only a metal spear and a war club.

This is the difference brought by choice.

But there is also a price to pay.

Constrained, even if he controls such a large army, Sheng Qi does not rely on himself to command the army, but relies on the rat priests in the army to command the army.

He is the commander of those rat priests.

Rather than the commander of this huge rat army.

This brings a problem.

When he stayed in the Waste Slag City, he had to run among the rat priests with a smile, and when he led the army to the expedition, he also had to serve the two senior priests around him with a smile.

It made him a little confused.

Can he really be considered a big shot?

In fact, he should be considered a big shot.

Sheng Qi, who has already stood above thousands of ratmen and can command such a large army, how can he not be considered a big shot in the ratman kingdom?

But if compared with those truly unruly guys, is he really considered a big shot?

But if he is not considered a big shot, why is it like this?

Sheng Qi is a talented rat, but his talent is not in war or wisdom.

It is negotiation and words.

But this cannot support his dream.

The big shot he expects should not be like this.

He noticed something was wrong.

But the wisdom that was not deep enough could not give him an answer.

Confusion is like a shadow.

Looking up at the deep sky in the dark night.

It also reminded me of the indifferent expression of the white rat at the grand sacrifice.

This long-lasting confusion finally brought something to Sheng Qi.

Some ideas, some changes.

Crazy.

Even though this is common among the ratmen.

This young ratman priest, this young ratman commander, had a bold and crazy idea in that confusion.

He attributed everything to power.

If I could become a high priest, if I could become a high priest like the white rat.

Then I would definitely be a big shot!

This idea spread like weeds in his heart.

But at this time, he was distracted. In a daze, he thought of his teacher, the crazy old guy kneeling in front of the wild boar temple.

A choice was once again placed in front of him.

God, or power.

Without too much entanglement, Sheng Qi made a choice.

Power.

Perhaps the white rat was too deep in his memory, or perhaps it was because the white rat's cold eyes were so dazzling.

He wanted to become a high priest like the white rat.

This idea was confirmed.

But this lucky guy overlooked a problem.

The rights of the white rat never came from the empty title that was high in the air.

The white rat was the high priest, but the high priest could not necessarily become a white rat.
