From Skaven to God-King of War

Chapter 155, the Glory that Sprouted in the Rat Army, the Army Set Out Again, the Rat War's Death Order

Even during this period, the blood mushrooms in the temple continued to emerge.

But he was no longer able to bear it.

He didn't understand, but it made Shu Zhan very angry.

In this situation, Shu Zhan finally remembered the group of rat priests who had been abandoned by him for a long time, the group of military priests who had been abandoned in the Furnace City for a long time.

Then, a death order was issued.

If Shu Zhan still couldn't see them tinkering with iron and supplying him with weapons in the near future, he would hang them one by one at the gate of the Furnace City.

In anger, Shu Zhan did not hide his malice towards the rat priests he hated the most.

Even though these military priests were born from his rat warriors.

They could no longer grow.

The troops began to gather again.

But this time, the army under Shu Zhan was even uglier.

He dug out all the old antiques that were originally going to be discarded, including all kinds of worn-out wooden spears, wooden armor, all kinds of ill-fitting leather armor from the lizardmen, and the short bows.

He dug out all of them.

He dumped them to his ratmen like trash.

It can be said that the army under Shu Zhan is indeed the most elite in the ratman kingdom.

But at this moment, it feels a bit like the king of trash.

The reason why Shu Zhan is so embarrassed.

It is largely because of the establishment of two troops.

Shu Zhan provided the best equipment he could get to these two troops.

The two troops are special troops with a size of only 500.

Ratman Raiders.

The most elite infantry under Shu Zhan.

The spears in their hands are finally no longer the cheap iron rods that are rough and full of bumps.

They are replaced by smooth metal spears that reflect cold light.

And these elite ratmen warriors have not only one such spear, but nine.

Carrying two extra spears on their backs, and six short spears on their waists.

And this is just a small part of the equipment on these elite ratmen. The real big part is the two layers of armor on the ratmen warriors.

The most basic one is a pair of close-fitting leather armor. At the same time, in order to increase the defense, there is also a piece of chain mail attached to the outside of the leather armor. This is a new thing made by the ratmen priests in the Desolate Mountains Industrial Zone.

It is also extra expensive.

There is no such thing as labor costs among ratmen, but spending more money for the gods is what you should and must do.

These chain mails are not ordinary chain mails worn by wild boar infantry. The ratmen priests specially added a concave and convex iron plate on the chest of the chain mail.

Some simple god patterns are engraved on the iron plate.

Such simple details double the value of the ratmen runners under Rat War.

This simple chain mail, the nine spears and the leather armor are all just.

In terms of price.

But Shu Zhan still gritted his teeth and agreed. These lightweight chain mails are indeed the most suitable for these elite rats who need to run wildly on the battlefield.

Or perhaps it is because the next fierce knights are even more heavyweight.

Shu Zhan equipped them with full body armor.

Even the giant rats under them were covered with heavy armor.

At the same time, in order to prevent the giant rats, whose weight has increased a lot, from slowing down, Shu Zhan also specially selected the giant rats from these fierce giant rats as the mounts of the fierce rat knights. They are the most violent and closest to the disordered distortion.

They are the products born after the hatching pool reaches the end of its life.

But they have a larger body, faster speed and better physical strength than ordinary giant rats.

It's just the same in character.

They never hesitate to attack the knights on their backs, or in other words, they don't hesitate to attack everything in front of them.

On Sheng Qi's side, such scraps are usually dealt with on the spot.

But Shu Zhan fell in love with these violent guys at first sight.

The iron mouth buckle tightly clamped the mouths of these ferocious giant rats, and at the same time extended up to wrap the entire head of the giant rat.

Only a pair of red and disgusting eyes were revealed.

In order to suppress these irritable guys, their mouths were simply locked forcibly, and a thick iron chain was also driven into the flesh and blood of these giant rats, becoming the reins in the hands of the ferocious knights.

Relying on these measures, they can barely control them.

As for weapons, there are not many changes.

A thick lance that is much longer than an ordinary spear.

And a war stick.

The blood mushrooms that the rat war spent on the one hundred ferocious knights have far exceeded the total five hundred ratman raiders.

There is also a gap between the elite.

And similarly, some god patterns are also engraved on the gray-black full body armor of the ratman knight.

The ratmen were not very skilled in using the boarmen's hydraulic hammer, or the rat-powered hammer now, and for some reason the full body armor they forged was not as smooth and bright as the ones worn by the boarmen knights.

But it was harmless.

It did not prevent the ratmen priests from engraving some divine patterns on the armor and raising the price.

Rat Zhan did not feel bad about this. It was reasonable to engrave some divine patterns on such an expensive item.

Two elite troops were formed.

At the same time, the metal weapons that were supposed to be distributed to most of the rat warriors were also eaten by these two troops.

They were replaced with a pile of old garbage that the rat warriors found from the rear.

But most of the young rats had no objection to this. It can even be said that they were quite happy to see so many garbage in front of them.

They had never fought such a rich war.

They held a wooden spear in their hands, wore an ill-fitting leather armor, a short bow hung around their waists, and even tied a bone staff of a dog-headed wizard to their tails.

The main style was a mixed tower.

As the backbone of the rat army, the rat warriors had a more fixed configuration in their hands, a metal spear, a wooden spear, a wooden shield, and the choice of armor was a mix of leather armor and wooden armor.

They did not go to the garbage dump to pick up all kinds of ill-fitting armor, because there was really no protection. Two pieces of cut wood hanging in front and behind the chest were still their choice.

Then there are the senior rat warriors.

Their equipment is not much different from that of the rat warriors, except that most of them have leather armor made of unknown leather, and the spears in their hands are almost all iron spears. In addition, many senior rat warriors will abandon the small leather shields in their hands.

Instead, they choose three spears.

But no matter what their choice is.

When the army assembled, after seeing the two elite rats with their heads held high, they were confused at first.

Most of the rat warriors don’t know what their commander-in-chief is doing.

And some qualified veterans who know will deliberately avoid this matter.

It’s not a good thing to be targeted by the superiors in the rat kingdom.

Then they found that their colleagues had changed.

They regretted it instantly.

Even if they may not understand that a spear on these guys is equivalent to their entire self, can they still not understand the meaning of the patterns on these guys’ armor?

Endless regrets emerged in the hearts of those senior rat warriors who were escaping, and desires appeared in both the rat warriors and the young rats.

Looking at those guys with their heads held high.

Rat Zhan may not know that the god's pattern that made him so painful was the most cherished thing by the rat runners and the fierce knights.

Rat runners would wear the chainmail in reverse at ordinary times to protect the god's pattern on the iron sheet from being worn out.

Until now, they turned it over openly, showing the pattern on the iron plate, and followed behind Rat Zhan with their heads held high.

Even these dull and slow fierce knights were the same. You can often see them wiping their armor quietly and seriously.

Compared with the generous treatment given by Rat Zhan's blood mushroom, these few god's patterns were more cherished by these guys.

Although Rat Zhan himself was the same, while scolding the group of rat priests for what they were doing, he also got a delicate giant clock for display.

Although it was just a few useless patterns.

But it was just these few patterns that could make a group of despicable and stupid guys really give birth to something that should not have appeared in their hearts.

Glory, or vanity.

These days, there are even a few raiders wearing chain mail in front of the temple guards with a showy look.

As expected, they were beaten up, but they still had a happy expression.

In the past, they were not even enough to be beaten up by the temple guards.

In the gaze of those pairs of eyes, in the gaze of those eager expressions.

These guys learned the posture of the temple guards and held their heads high.

No matter what the sprouting thing is, glory or vanity, but one thing is very certain.

After putting on this armor, they are unwilling to take it off, even if they are facing death.

Defending at all costs, just because of a few useless patterns left by the gods.

Whether it is glory or vanity does not seem to be so important.

Rat War set off again with a huge army.

This time he wanted to kill the old sheep who had been causing trouble for him on the grassland.

He was indeed qualified.

The rat army under Shu Zhan had expanded to 400,000 in a very short time.

Even though it was limited by the number of candidates, the supervisory team also needed to increase its number to deal with this crazy expansion of the army.

The rat knights only replenished the number of 20,000.

And most of them were young guys who had not been trained much.

But it didn't matter.

As long as they could charge, there would be no problem.

After the huge rat army left the fortress.

The scavengers who heard the news also swarmed in.

Like a dark cloud falling behind.

During this period of time, it was not only the army under Shu Zhan that was rapidly expanding. Most of the priests who arrived here and the rats who were not qualified to join the army of Shu Zhan became members of the scavengers following Shu Zhan.

They were more eager for war than Shu Zhan.

At the same time, they would spontaneously break into the grassland. During this period of time, they were the ones who had been fighting with the sheep beastmen.

In most cases, they would be crushed without a doubt.

Actually, it would be more appropriate to call it a massacre rather than a battle.

But as long as there are ratmen who can come back from the grassland and bring back harvests, and bring back harvests that make people jealous.

Then they have nothing to fear.

When the huge army left the fortress and passed by the camp outside the temple that was built to prevent sheep orcs.

Several larger teams rushed out of it and merged into the huge dark cloud behind the Rat War.

These teams are the largest and most powerful scavenging teams.

During the period of the Rat War truce, some bold priests with more private power negotiated a deal with the temple guards.

They guarded this camp, and the temple guards only needed to give them a little blood mushroom.

There was no risk, and the sheep orcs would not attack this camp full of gullies.

Although there were always scattered sheep orc teams trying to cross this camp and break into the rear fortress area.

These guys are rapidly developing in the direction of regular mercenaries.

Although some of them did not abide by the contract.

At least after Rat War started again, these guys decisively abandoned the camp they were supposed to defend and chased after Rat War without hesitation.

Suddenly, this area became empty.

For this reason, the leader of the temple guards was helpless, but he also could not sit idly by and watch the possibility of the God's Temple being attacked.

This possibility is absolutely not allowed to exist.

A team of temple guards left the temple and ran towards the camp that was suddenly empty.

Although it is not known whether Rat War did it on purpose, his move was very clever.

This move of killing first and reporting later directly added a strong defensive force that would fight to the death to the fortress that was the core of the rear.

In the entire Rat Kingdom, only he dared to do this.

But this is not without price, but this price will not appear immediately.

The war continued again.

The result will not change.

Either he completely destroyed and crushed those sheep beastmen, or he crushed and destroyed those sheep beastmen.

Rat War, this arrogant guy, did not think that there would be any other situation.

………….

Just when Shu Zhan led a huge army to march.

In the Furnace City, a group of guys were half-hearted.

Because of Shu Zhan's order.

Believe me, if they were not worried that the senior priests who also disliked their boss would kill these priest traitors as soon as they met.

These poor army priests would definitely defect without hesitation and run all the way to the Waste City.

But it is obvious that the possibility exists.

It is very likely that after running all the way to the Waste City, they will be killed and hanged at the city gate in another place.

These unlucky guys looked at each other.

Of course, none of them wanted to be hanged.

But what should they do?

Maybe some flexibility and attempts are needed.

There will be another chapter later
