Chapter 234: Arrogant Guy
Fortunately, before casting the magic, they would spray the odor-eliminating potion on their bodies, and the rat priests were not particularly familiar with the magic used by the ghost-eyed human wizard.
In the rat priests' vigilance, the magic was dissipated.
The rat priests looked around suspiciously, but found nothing, so the mercenaries escaped.
When they just accepted the bounty, they were still full of confidence, but that confidence disappeared instantly after they broke into the forest and saw teams of various rats.
The humans in this marginal province should thank their great crown, the god of trafficking and stargazing. If it weren't for the falling flying star, the situation would never be so small at this time. In the process of defeating the grassland coalition army, the Eastern Expeditionary Army in the hands of Shu Zhan can be said to have gathered the most powerful army of the rats in history.
Well, although before the grassland battle, the Eastern Expeditionary Army in the hands of Shu Zhan was already the most powerful army of the rats in history.
But in the process of advancing after the grand battle, the Eastern Expeditionary Force was more numerous, larger in scale, stronger, and more powerful!
Then most of them were flattened into rat cakes by a falling flying star.
This gave the humans in this marginal province a chance to breathe.
Carefully advancing, under the effect of a special prop, they passed through the dark forest all the way and came to a vast plain.
The ring in his hand shone brightly.
They witnessed a messy battlefield and a towering fortress in the distance.
A little light emerged from a pile of corpses on the edge of the battlefield.
This battlefield was not carefully cleaned by the rats, and the rotten corpses were not even qualified for sacrifice. Occasionally, some young rats would visit and look for some interesting and useful things in the corpses.
Weapons, armor, and various delicate or rough clothes were all the targets of the young rats. After several visits, most of the corpses piled here became naked.
Then it was truly abandoned, no one cared about it, and it rotted silently.
The mercenaries found their target and turned over the pile of corpses. On the skinny palm of a naked corpse, a similar ring was emitting a bright glow.
The clothes on his body were all stripped off. The young rat man who was looting seemed to have no interest in the little gadget on his finger. Or maybe he was simply delighted by the clothes on the governor of the province, or he just took off the clothes and fought with his jealous companions around him.
The rats also like those exquisite things, not for any other reason, but because the more exquisite the things are, the more likely they are to have exquisite patterns. They like those things engraved with particularly complex and gorgeous patterns, although they don’t understand those complex patterns very well.
In short, no matter which situation it is, the ring was left behind, allowing this team of mercenaries to successfully achieve their goals.
He did not despise the rotten and smelly governor of the province. This was an extremely generous bounty. He carried the corpse and plunged into the dark forest behind him, and his figure disappeared.
Not long after, a group of noisy ratmen led by the Big Claw Priest came here. The young ratmen were not at peace, looking around, interested in everything, and not at all restless.
They might fight each other while walking, but it was just that the Big Claw Priests were very good at dealing with these restless guys.
After a whip, the severe pain, accompanied by the loud scolding, all the young ratmen were able to be more honest, although it did not last long.
Looking around on this former battlefield, curiously watching the pile of swollen corpses not far away, with pure curiosity in their eyes, but hurriedly plunged into the dark forest in front of them under the drive of the Big Claw Priest.
With the fall of the two fortresses, the stationing of the temple guards, the complete unblocking of the road, and the continuous arrival of support, although it is still a question whether these subsequent ratmen can successfully reach the hands of Rat War.
But in fact, there will not be much difference. No matter what, they will be filled into this area. If they are not incorporated into the army, they will become one of those wandering ratmen.
The ending will not change much. It is nothing more than dying in the army, dying in the process of wandering in this area, or living.
The rats have never cared about the fate of the guys sent to the battlefield. As long as the war continues, such transportation will continue.
No matter how many rats die, as long as they can win the final victory, as long as there are a steady stream of sacrifices offered to the gods in this war, then all this is worth it.
Even though the Eastern Expeditionary Force once faced collapse in the flying star, and a large number of formal rat priests were wiped out in an instant, these are not big problems.
New rat priests have been mobilized here, but the war machines are more difficult to deal with. The rat priests can always collect a lot of them in each city, but these war machines require real resources and time.
No more war machines can be given for the time being.
However, Shu Zhan is not particularly interested in these war machines. What he needs more now is a group of qualified soldiers. Shu Zhan is not very confident to entrust the important task of the supervision team to these ordinary rat warriors who are not particularly reliable.
Even those old-timers who have survived war after war are not valued by him. He needs a group of special rats, those dull and loyal guys.
At this time, these guys who have always been regarded as defective rats by the rats have become popular.
But unfortunately, it is not an easy thing for Shu Zhan to make up for the scale of the supervision team he expected. The number of these dull guys, or the output, has never been so satisfactory.
He can only make do with what he has.
Once again, Shu Zhan led his ratmen to destroy a village. In the flames, his ratmen danced excitedly and wandered in the ruins.
Shu Zhan did not join in the carnival of these guys, but began to think about some problems.
He certainly noticed the gathering of these guys. These hairless monkeys were mobilizing their forces, and the largest group of them was unexpectedly in front of him.
They wanted to strangle him.
Shu Zhan's premonition had no basis, but he was so sure.
It was not surprising. After all, among the many ratmen armies, he was the most arrogant and ran all the way with his team.
Now, a question arises. If there are enemies waiting for him in front, should he still move forward?
After a brief thought, Shu Zhan easily got the answer.
Of course!
This guy has always been so arrogant and arrogant.
