Chapter 186, Raid in the Dark, Only the Victor Is Qualified to Decide Everything
Pale land, clear lake, after the rats retreated, this saline lake did not return to peace.
The wolf beastmen increased the mining of the saline lake, and white salt blocks were constantly picked up from the lake.
The wolf beastmen now need salt, a lot of salt, because of the war.
Because of this demand, this saline lake close to the rat-occupied area was preserved, although running to the west could find a large salt lake without boundaries.
It's just that the distance is too far that makes many things unrealistic.
Bags of salt were excavated from this pale lake and carried to the depths of the grassland by teams of wolf beastmen knights.
The gradually large army of wolf beastmen has exceeded the carrying capacity of the grassland in this area.
But the subsequent contradictions were suppressed by the style of the wolf beastmen. In addition to occupying mineral resources, the wolf beastmen did not produce anything.
They have been waging wars all the time, conquering tribes one by one. To some extent, they are also nomadic races, but other races are taking from this vast grassland.
And they are taking from other races on this vast grassland.
The slaughter and plunder of the enemy supported their rapid development. Between sustained development and a wave of prosperity, the wolf beastmen chose a wave of prosperity.
This is of course an unhealthy state, but fortunately this grassland is vast enough. As long as they can win all the time and plunder all the time, they can be strong all the time.
Until they met the ratman who broke into the grassland, the pace of war stopped.
The young wolf beastman king decided to put aside more things first and defeat the powerful enemy in front of him to show his majesty, but it was not so easy.
Fortunately, before the full-scale war started, two unlucky victims had already appeared.
The destroyed centaurs and bearmen gave the wolf beastmen the confidence to continue the battle.
That was a huge herd of cattle and sheep that could cover everything in front of them. It was also the cornerstone that supported the continuation and growth of the two powerful grassland races. They were all taken by the wolf beastmen in the war.
What was easily obtained was not cherished, because there was no suitable pasture for grazing on this grassland for the time being.
In addition to the two main forces confronting each other on the front battlefield, countless small ratmen troops were appearing in every place on this vast grassland at an astonishing speed.
Even the fertile grassland in the rear began to be spied on by sneaky figures in the dark, and even the weakest rabbit people began to spontaneously form guards to guard their pastures.
The wolf beastmen took the most short-sighted and direct way to deal with the cattle and sheep in their hands.
Kill, simply deal with, and use them as food to deal with the war.
In order to better preserve, salt became a must.
Unexpectedly, the wolf beastmen quickly reached the most prosperous and wealthy stage in history during this period, in the violent consumption of huge spoils.
The wolf beastman's king is not a law-abiding king. To some extent, the wolf beastman is better at war than the rat man.
If the rat man had not appeared, he would have been able to fulfill the vision imprinted on the flag.
The greedy hungry wolf will devour everything on this vast grassland, and forge a powerful super empire by consuming countless other grassland races as a ladder for its greedy swallowing of the sun.
Even if the empire forged in this way is destined to be short-lived, when there is nothing to devour, it is the moment when the empire collapses.
Coincidentally, the rats are also in this state at this time, and are even more twisted and cruel than the wolf beastmen.
At least, even though the wolf beastmen kill, they have not taken the last step. They claim to be civilized people and will not actively devour other intelligent races.
As for the rat men, the recipes of this group of guys include rat men.
Both sides are seeking more in the war.
If they encounter each other, they are destined to win or lose. War and desolation are not absolutely related. War can also bring prosperity, but there is only one premise.
You can be the winner.
A group of ratmen broke away from the large army under Rat War, and Qi put on armor again, not the full-body heavy armor worn by the fierce knights, but just a simple leather armor.
He used the blood mushrooms in his hand for some more important things, and he finally got a ratman army that was really worthy of his attention.
There was also a giant rat.
The giant rat was an ordinary giant rat with no special features and was no different from the giant rats ridden by the ratmen knights.
The ratmen army was also an ordinary ratmen army, with not enough people, about 10,000, but at least the ratmen warriors gathered in this army were no longer thin, no longer missing parts, and all held the mottled spears.
This was his new bargaining chip.
A troop built by young ratmen came to the big claw priests for purchase, consuming all the blood mushrooms in Qi's hand, and the weapons came from the purchases left by the fallen guys.
This was his new bargaining chip, but it was not enough.
After a series of events, the simple flag was no longer intact and had become a little tattered. The flag surface was even a little damaged, but this did not affect the flag holder who still carried it on his back.
He believed that one day he would change the flag and truly carry the flag blessed by the gods.
This is a dream imagined by countless ratmen, and it is also a dream he longs for.
Like countless ratmen, he is almost going crazy with longing.
Riding on the giant rat, behind him, the young ratman holding a mottled spear also looked around on the grassland. These guys are naturally curious about everything.
Later, several other troops caught up with Qi. These were the rat mercenaries he hired. They did not use blood mushrooms, nor did they use blood mushrooms.
Now on this grassland, the most crazy thing is no longer the blood mushrooms, but the skin of the wolf orcs. And it happened that Qi knew that there was a place with a group of wolf orcs who were separated from the group. That was a crazy fortune.
As for credibility, Shu Zhan's credibility indirectly guaranteed him, even if he was not a real rat warlord.
On the vast grassland, the broken flag behind Qi was fluttering in the wind. Around him, as teams of rat mercenaries gathered, gradually, a large-scale rat army gathered.
Such a large-scale rat army ensures the safety of the march. The wolf knights of the squad will not attack such a large rat army without thinking. It is also the power that the flag needs to return to the pale land.
The flag needs chips, a lot of chips.
………….
The battle between the two sides is intense. The wolf knights' attack on the deep pit has stopped. Outside the spiraling deep pit, the gullies were dug out by the black scavengers.
Even without the towering walls, the wolf knights had to stop their pace.
Not only because of the gullies that hindered the charge, but also because the rats were particularly restless during this period.
The temple of the gods is about to fall in the center of the deep pit, but it still lacks sacrifices.
Rat War is unwilling to use the bodies of the rats to fill the sacred blood pool. This is to show his incompetence, and the corpses of the rats are indeed unqualified.
In the dark night, the rats gathered under the black dragon flag of Rat War and launched a charge towards the flank of the main camp of the wolf orcs.
The wolf orcs did not station all the troops together, but dispersed into nine camps, eight camps led by wolf orc generals guarding the base camp where the wolf orc king sat.
The dispersed camps prevented all the troops from being dragged into chaos by sudden attacks, and the distance between the camps was the distance left for the wolf knight to charge.
Just so suddenly, Rat War led the rat knights to attack the wolf orc camp stationed on the side and rear.
This attack was naturally noticed.
It should also be guarded against, but the wolf orcs were obviously a bit flustered in their response. Obviously, they did not expect that the rats who had been hiding in a city suddenly played a night raid.
And in order to collect the sacrifice to the gods, Rat War, this guy, also found some external aid in an unusual way.
A square formation formed by the Big Claw priests appeared in the night raiding team.
In the prayers of dancing, sharp rock spikes were gathered together, like meteors across the sky.
But the effect was not good.
The magic of the Big Claw priests was not particularly reliable. The long-term command of basic construction made their magic gradually tend to be abandoned.
But hiring those damned rat priests was something that Rat War could never accept.
However, the rock spikes thrown by these Big Claw priests did not play the role that Rat War expected, and even alarmed the wolf orc camp farther away, making Rat War curse.
It was really stupid to give hope to these damn priests.
He kicked over the Big Claw priest closest to him, and the Big Claw priests gathered in front of him fled in panic.
In fact, the Big Claw priests of these scavenging teams are already a group of guys with more powerful magic in the Big Claw priest group. After leaving the whole day's work, these guys finally have time to pick up the magic bestowed by the gods.
But they are only a group of more powerful guys among the Big Claw priests.
Rat Zhan mounted his mount, a particularly huge and ferocious giant rat. In the sharp roar, the terrifying blood-colored phantom unfolded behind him. The ferocious knights around him clenched their lances, and their eyes were also stained with a trace of scarlet.
There is no way. The wolf orc sacrifices, captives, and slaves obtained during this period were all replaced by the rat caravans that arrived waving blood mushrooms.
Even for the high price, Rat Zhan himself was a little dazzled, but the completion of the temple of the gods requires sacrifices.
There is no more way. He can't use the heads of those humble guys to make a Jingguan to sacrifice to the gods when the temple is completed.
This can't be done!
With a sharp roar, Shu Zhan led the fierce knights around him to launch a violent charge, and then the huge rat knights followed.
As Shu Zhan left, the big claw priest who was kicked to the ground climbed up, whispering, and soon, another rock spike was gathered.
Obviously, he did not believe in evil, a somewhat stubborn big claw priest.
This time, his performance was much better. The rock spike was finally no longer crooked, at least it was straight across the sky, but there was a bad news.
It didn't fly far enough.
It fell to the ground quickly after crossing the sky.
With a dull bang, the leader of the fierce knights carrying the black dragon flag staggered and almost fell to the ground.
With a sharp roar of anger.
The unfortunate fellow carrying the black dragon flag turned his head, and his scarlet eyes were so conspicuous even in the darkness.
At this moment, a glance lasted for a thousand years.
The unbelieving big claw priest also joined the fleeing ranks, but it was hard to say whether running was still useful now.
Rat War's sharp roar was even more angry, and the silent brutal knight followed his figure and slammed into the wolf orc camp.
This sudden attack in the dark night still had a certain effect.
And the most ferocious brutal knight was the first to lead the charge. In the first wave of charge, those wolf knights who had just mounted the giant wolf and had not started running were directly thrown to the ground by the running brutal knight. Amid the painful wailing, a black dragon flag also arrived.
Rat War's killing aura was blessed on all the wolf orcs in this camp.
Chaos is about to spread in this camp.
But the wolf orcs also had a response to this. An old wolf orc priest blew the horn in his hand during the strange dance. In the crisp sound of the horn, the emerald green light was blessed in the wolf orc camp, trying to dispel the killing aura of Rat War.
Ignoring one problem, Rat War's killing aura is different from that of ordinary rat priests. This is a real blessing from the gods.
The horn sound not only failed to dispel the falling scarlet light, but also exposed the wolf orc priest himself.
It is obvious that this old wolf orc priest will be a big trouble, and Rat War has always had a unified principle for such troubles.
The ferocious and ferocious giant rat jumped up, and Rat War, waving a scarlet spear, ran wildly with a grin, and the blocking wolf orc knight was easily swept away.
The old wolf orc priest wanted to avoid it in fear, but it was obvious that it was too late to run now.
He was lifted high up, with a scarlet spear piercing his body, accompanied by Shu Zhan's ferocious and dangerous smile.
The effect of the killing aura was gradually showing, and the wolf orc knights beside Shu Zhan had gradually red eyes, and they didn't care about anything else and rushed towards Shu Zhan.
But he was knocked away by the fierce knights who came from the back.
Although Shu Zhan rarely charged into battle, it didn't mean he was weak. In this world where gods exist, in addition to the gods themselves, the heroes themselves are the biggest variables on the battlefield.
Chaos began to spread in this wolf orc camp.
