Chapter 163, The Daring Guy, the Industry of the Furnace City

A young ratman trembled and raised a red spear.

This young ratman was the ratman warlord on the battlefield just now, but at this time he took off the armor with scratches, cracks and blood on his body, and stood nervously in front of Shu Zhan, not even daring to raise his head.

This is a bold guy.

A fake ratman warlord.

Maybe Shu Zhan should kill him with a spear, or maybe he should hang him in front of many ratmen. After all, it is really a transgression to pretend to be a ratman warlord to mobilize his army.

He took the spear.

"Tell me, if your answer satisfies me.

It's okay to let you get what you want.

It's just a ratman warlord."

However, this did help a little. Shu Zhan decided to decide whether to give the young ratman in front of him a chance based on his answer.

The ratman looked at the young man in front of him with a bad smile, and uttered words. The opportunity to be promoted to a rat warlord, which was often used by Shu Zhan as a reward, was not so cheap, although it was just a matter of words for Shu Zhan.

The young ratman raised his head, with desire in his eyes, and this desire even suppressed fear.

Without much hesitation, he knelt down heavily and shouted loudly and seriously.

"Loyalty! I will offer loyalty! Great commander! I will offer you unreserved loyalty!"

He crawled humbly in front of Shu Zhan.

This is an extremely standard answer. For an ordinary young ratman, he can't offer much, and there are even fewer words that may impress the big man.

Offering loyalty is a very standard answer.

But it can't make Shu Zhan very satisfied. It's just a barely qualified answer.

"You will serve as a vanguard in six wars. If you survive all six wars, then you will be a rat warlord."

Waving his hand, the somewhat boring Rat Zhan drove the guy in front of him out.

This is undoubtedly a harsh condition. It is not easy to serve as a vanguard and survive six wars.

But even so, the young ratman is still grateful.

These poor guys had no choice.

At least Shu Zhan is willing to give them a chance.

There are always guys who are unwilling to be ordinary, even if they have to gamble their lives.

………….

Later, the scavenger team that arrived began to clean up the battlefield.

The simple fortress has officially expanded into a city. Shu Zhan casually gave this new city a name.

Grassland City.

Shu Zhan did not continue to fight. The almost completely lost ratman knights forced him to slow down his pace.

But it doesn’t matter. There are no guys on this four-season pasture who can be the opponent of the ratmen.

A sheep orc who only has one breath left and can almost be declared destroyed, and a argali tribe whose spine has been broken.

The huge army turned back, and Shu Zhan needed to replenish his strength and recruit troops again.

Of course, this time does not take too long.

Thanks to the establishment and improvement of the city, as well as the ratmen who kept coming from the rear, Rat War had never lacked soldiers.

As long as he wanted, the army in his hands could expand rapidly.

And this war would bring him a huge amount of blood mushrooms.

It wouldn't be long before Rat War would come back again, with a larger army and more power.

Then trample more lives.

Of course, if he could meet some righteous and calm guys, then the manic Rat War would kill them without hesitation.

The bitter wine that was brewed was far from being swallowed.

A complete evil god family, a manic evil hero.

………….

Above the sky, in the hazy light, Du Yuan's incarnation folded his arms and calmly looked at the two god incarnations in front of him.

Du Yuan, who had leaped to the demigod status, even if he was just an incarnation, did not have much pressure to deal with the two apprentice gods in front of him.

The hazy light was even stretched out, covering everything that happened in this area.

Until a pair of eyes cast their gazes from afar.

Blocked by another beam of gaze from a distant direction, Du Yuan's body opened his eyes in the pillar of the underground Rat City Temple in the Desolate Mountains, and the two sides looked at each other from afar.

Just for a moment, they staggered their gazes at the same time.

In order to avoid the increase of the world's repulsion.

The rats chose the most radical path, and Du Yuan did not interfere, although this would bring him a lot of pressure.

Undoubtedly, the two demigods will focus their attention on him.

At that time, it is inevitable that they will have a fight.

Even Du Yuan may be beaten up by the two.

But think about it from another angle. If the rats can eat both the half-elves and the wolf orcs at the same time, then Du Yuan's advantage on this subcontinent will be established.

Later, this subcontinent can be easily taken over.

As for the possibility of being beaten up, Du Yuan can only ensure one thing.

That is, the gods' affairs will be solved by the gods, and the clan's affairs will be handled by the clan.

This is Du Yuan's confidence as a demigod who has embarked on the path of war, as a demigod of war.

………….

Grassland City.

The rats encountered a problem, or rather, the rats discovered a new food.

A pale mushroom that tastes good.

Found on the bodies of the sheep orc knights.

The plague that was extremely terrifying for the sheep orcs was not a big deal for the rats.

It can even be said that the plague was originally caused by the rats.

The giant sheep corpses piled up at the water source polluted the water source of most of the Four Seasons Pasture, but in order to give birth to this terrible plague, some other things must be involved.

When these giant sheep were just abandoned, or until now, these giant sheep were swollen and whitened by the river water, there were still many rats who came here secretly.

Most of them were slave rats.

Slave rats didn't mind eating carrion when they fished out these white giant sheep for food.

This was nothing, but some slave rats were not careful and fell into the water.

They were also swollen and whitened by the river water.

You will find some white mushrooms growing out of these swollen and white slave rats.

Of course, the emergence of this plague did not make the rats feel anything else.

The only change was the white mushrooms that were discovered and tasted better.

Even this kind of white mushroom has not been specially cultivated. The rats cannot be extravagant to use corpses to cultivate this novel white mushroom.

The choice of rat priests, rat warlords, and those elite rat warriors will only be blood mushrooms.

And slave rats, young rats, and ordinary rat warriors, undoubtedly, cave mushrooms are easier to grow, not picky about the growth environment, and have a higher yield.

In particular, these white mushrooms will not emerge in large quantities until the corpse begins to rot, and the rotten corpse must not be used for sacrifice in exchange for blood mushrooms.

Although cave mushrooms have become less and less delicious in the cultivation of generations of rats.

These factors make this delicious white mushroom eventually become a flash in the pan.

In front of the grassland city, Shu Zhan held a high-profile reward ceremony.

A large number of rat warriors have been rewarded. Shu Zhan is still a trustworthy guy. Of course, the group of rats with the most generous rewards have died in the chaotic battlefield. This Shu Zhan can't give rewards, but it's no wonder that Shu Zhan.

After the reward was over, Rat War began to expand the army.

This process was very smooth.

At the same time, a large number of blood mushrooms flowed into these surviving rat warriors, which also brought some new needs.

The demand for weapons and protection.

More refined leather armor and high-quality wooden spears using better wood as the base were produced in large quantities by the weapon workshops and armor workshops in Prairie City.

Of course, it also attracted the attention of some rat priests who had just arrived in Prairie City.

Everyone wants blood mushrooms.

But if you ask these rat priests who have just arrived to rub wooden spears and sew leather armor, they will definitely not be able to do it.

But simply, these guys who passed by the Furnace City secretly learned a trick from the miserable war priests there.

Some simple blast furnaces were built by them, and they wanted to smelt metals.

Yes, under the threat of Rat War, these war priests who had no choice still made some things, although they might not be the kind that Rat War expected.

But they were able to make iron.

At this time in the Furnace City.

The blast furnace and rat-powered forging hammer built to imitate the industrial zone of the Desolate Mountains were all abandoned and demolished.

Instead, a huge earthen kiln was built. The mouth of the earthen kiln was completely blocked, leaving only a large hole on the top. A large amount of wood was burned and sent into the earthen kiln.

A large number of war priests stood in front of the mound.

Busy.

A huge hourglass was built.

Stuck in time, when the last bit of sand in the hourglass flowed down, the rough little bells would be struck in the shaking.

In the prompt of the bell, a large number of war priests would block the large hole left in the earthen kiln with wet soil.

Such scenes happened a lot in this furnace city.

These war priests were burning charcoal.

It can only be said that in order to survive, intelligent creatures are always full of potential. The desperate war priests first set their sights on the trees all over the forest.

It just failed. Wood alone cannot smelt metal, but some black wood blocks that can be ignited were found in the burning wood.

In order to survive, these war priests exerted their full potential and began to use a large amount of black stones obtained from wood.

They soon figured out the conditions for producing charcoal, and built earthen kilns for burning charcoal.

But charcoal is not as good as coal after all, and there is a difference in the heat they can provide.

Blast furnaces are no longer needed, and much smaller furnaces were built with difficulty, and some hard but fragile pig iron was produced in the furnace city.
