Chapter 248, War!
Shu Zhan received the gift from a distant place. The three Abandoned Scales of the Gods were held in Shu Zhan's hands. However, Yin made him take a second look but failed to do so. Instead, they were the mother version of the skinned giant rat. Zhan paid more attention to it and threw away these three scales like garbage.
If Longclaw saw such a scene, that guy would go crazy again.
The things you can't get are thrown away by others like garbage.
Okay, maybe Shu Zhan didn't understand what this thing is. After all, there is nothing wrong with this. This God's Abandoned Scale can indeed bring real power. Shu Zhan will not exclude those who can be held in his hands. The power in one's own hands.
It's just that this guy is too arrogant, and he doesn't even have much interest in doing more research on the things in his hands.
Instead, his eyes paused on those guys who arrived behind the rat-man priest, and on the rather tall giant deformed rat-man.
When the rat priest left the camp again, he was left alone in his team without any crowd. On the contrary, the rat war had some unexpected gains.
The expression of this Rat Man Priest was gloomy. Rat Zhan did not give him any face. Correspondingly, he would definitely not give Rat Zhan any more face. This is how Rat Zhan got his reputation as a dog-hating person. Those giant rat men The production is also controlled by the rat priests.
The giant deformed rat man's journey to the battlefield has had some twists and turns. Perhaps this is a good thing. For those gentle giant rat men, no one would like to be born to become a terrifying deformed monster, but What will happen in the future is not up to them.
They have no choice as to what kind of person they want to be.
………….
The rat people have completely wiped out the area outside Mountain Dew City. All large and small manors, wheat fields, villages, fortresses, and castles have been destroyed.
The sneakers surging in the darkness all set their sights on that majestic city, just waiting for a cry, just waiting for an order.
The rat war climbed to the heights. Under the waving black dragon flag, the eight flags echoed each other. Countless rat men poured out from the darkness, hunched figures, roaring sharply, charging, charging, charging, gathering into a tide, Like a tsunami, the rat people began to surge on a large scale for the first time, heading towards the majestic city in front of them.
Whether they were prepared or not, the Skaven were here.
The first wave of impact broke out suddenly, and the defenders on the city wall hurriedly pulled up the city gate, just to deal with the towering city wall. The rat war also brought some good things.
The huge war machinery showed its traces in the darkness, and with the terrifying whistling sound, extremely swollen rat-men were thrown wantonly into the city, wailing, and turning into masses of mottled scarlet.
The group of rat warriors at the forefront were running wildly on the ground carrying long ladders.
But soon the first wave of spell strikes arrived, and the military mages took action, and a round of falling fireballs shattered the rat-men frontline.
Those rat warriors who were originally running wildly with excitement suddenly had panic on their faces. However, before they could escape, they were pushed forward again by their companions behind them.
A large amount of bright light was cast into the sky, turning into short-lived stars, dispersing the darkness around the city, and also reflecting the boundless rat people. The rat people were a little uncomfortable with the sudden rise of light.
The charging posture has paused.
Countless rat warriors stopped and subconsciously blocked the rising light with their hands. This action made the scene in front of them even more shocking. The closed eyes would always open again. Under the bright light, The paused rat-men, countless rat-men, with various expressions, raised their heads with pairs of scarlet eyes, all directed at the defenders on the city wall.
This was a frightening scene, and it was also short-lived. The Rat Man Supervisory Team had already begun to move forward. The frightened avoidance of the Supervisory Team caused the dark tide to start surging again, slamming into the towering city wall in front of them. .
The roaring war equipment, the rat men climbing towards the city wall, the firing crossbow arrows, the falling rocks being pushed down, and the terrifying fireballs that kept falling.
This was just a tentative attack, but the rat war was particularly generous. All the rat people in this area rushed towards this huge city at his words and turned into this dark city. tide.
From all directions and every angle, they attacked the huge and towering city in front of them without missing a beat.
The foundation of this city is indeed good, and the towering city wall is exceptionally strong. Even if the boulders thrown by the huge trebuchet are huge and heavy enough, they still seem a bit unsightly when facing this towering city wall.
Huge falling rocks can only leave a shallow pit when hitting this majestic city wall. Unless those huge rocks fall together and hit the same position, it may cause the city wall to loosen.
But once such a situation occurs, the military mages will immediately rush to the loose section of the city wall regardless of the danger. After a few spells, the loose area will be intact again.
The mages of the Ghost Eyes are not good at those highly destructive and terrifying spells, but the daily life spells are also quite difficult, such as repairing city walls, guiding arrows, boosting morale, lighting, wind spells, grease spells, shining like new, armor repair, and healing.
These messy spells cover too many aspects. Although their mages are often not omnipotent and are only good at one or two spells, the number of mages joining the battlefield is really enough.
These messy spells caused great trouble to the attack of the ratmen. Compared with these Ghost Eyes mages, the spell level of the ratmen priests is just like a group of primitive people.
But they still did not have an easy time dealing with this war.
The boulders thrown by the huge catapults did not cause any damage to the city walls, but the falling boulders were still a huge threat to the defenders on the city walls. Even the magic knights wearing high-quality enchanted armor would die on the spot if hit by such huge boulders, not to mention the ordinary defenders.
And the ratmen threw far more than these huge boulders. The swollen ratmen were the real threat. If the swollen ratmen fell on the city walls, the pollution that erupted instantly could instantly clear a large area, and all the polluted creatures would turn into a mass of wriggling flesh and blood in the wailing.
The military mages on the city walls began to shout at the wind continuously. The whistling boulders and swollen ratmen began to deflect in the joint efforts of these military mages. Only a slight deviation caused a very different result.
Many boulders and swollen ratmen smashed into the tide of ratmen that kept pouring in front of the city wall.
Facts have proved that these boulders and swollen ratmen have the same superb attack effect on ratmen warriors. Being hit by a boulder will not cause much pain, but will only turn into rat cakes in an instant. However, if the flesh and blood splashed by the swollen ratmen are affected, then the problem will be a bit serious.
Howling and fleeing, these ratmen warriors obviously do not understand what it means to think about their companions. They instinctively drill in the direction where there are the most ratmen around them, bringing pollution to other ratmen selflessly, and struggling in wailing.
In this crowded formation, the effect is simply full.
But this did not stop the huge trebuchets from throwing, and these trebuchets themselves are also those inferior consumables.
In another round of throwing, a piercing noise appeared on a huge trebuchet. At this moment, the big claw priest who operated the huge trebuchet showed visible fear on his face, but it was obviously too late to escape. The huge trebuchet that disintegrated suddenly triggered a terrifying chain reaction.
Some piles of swollen ratmen were also detonated together. However, in the face of such a situation, the order was still maintained amid the wailing of the big claw priests, and soon the huge catapult was put into operation again.
The siege ladders were put on the city wall by the ratmen warriors.
The energy of the military mages was involved in the falling boulders and swollen ratmen, making it no longer so strenuous for them to climb the city wall.
It was not an easy thing to avoid the objects that were pushed down the city wall, avoid the constantly falling crossbows, oil pots, rolling logs, and successfully climb up the city wall in front of the long ladder before it was cut off and pushed down by the defenders on it.
But after being pushed to the front of the city wall by the ratmen behind him, he could only do this. Climbing up the long ladder to the city wall might still have the possibility of survival. If he stopped at the bottom of the city wall, he could only face the various things that kept falling from afar, praying that he survived those indiscriminate attacks, and also be careful that more and more rats gathered to step on him.
Countless ratmen climbed up the ladders, and the fallen ladders were constantly lifted up again. Experienced guys would hang their weapons on their tails and raise their shields high. The inexperienced and excited guys who stepped onto the battlefield for the first time were even more reckless.
But whether you have experience or not, it is a difficult question to get an answer to whether you can survive in this cruel battlefield.
A single ratman is too small.
The defenders of the Wave City quickly felt the pressure. In every direction and on every section of the wall, there were ratmen climbing up. The ratmen had been forced to get used to this cruel war and had gotten used to facing death, but these city guards who had not faced war for a long time were obviously not used to this situation.
The supplies on the wall were still abundant. With the support of the military wizards, the terrifying boulders and the terrifying creations no longer fell from the sky.
But they still couldn't relax for a breath. These damn ratmen, these damn ratmen kept climbing, and they couldn't relax at all.
If he was any slower, these damn guys would rush up the city wall. He didn't want to face these ratmen, these dangerous ratmen.
He was just an ordinary guy, and he had a son and a daughter waiting for him in the city.
Not far away, a ratman who rushed up the city wall killed a guard with a sharp hiss. He knew him. As a guard in the city, they had had a few drinks in the tavern. But now, he turned into a corpse, lying coldly on the ground.
The noble knight wandering on the city wall found something wrong here. With just one step, the ratman warrior who rushed up was cut in half.
He hurriedly picked up a jar of heavy fire oil and subconsciously chose the most expensive item among these things. As long as he threw down this jar of oil and a torch, everything under this section of the city wall would be ignited by the flames in an instant.
The attack of the ratmen was too sudden. The humans who dared not step out of the city in the dark became very unclear about the situation. Because of the excessive gathering of ratmen, those areas were too dangerous. Any movement would usher in the attack of the ratmen.
The Stargazing Pope replenished the defenders on the city wall to the greatest extent, and the accumulated supplies were also checked and replenished. At the same time, a large number of military mages were sent to the towering city wall, and noble knights were recruited. Even if the preparations were not perfect, it should not be the case.
This was just a test of the rat war, and they were so flustered just to deal with such a test.
Obviously, the Stargazing Pope overlooked a problem. He was indeed prepared, but these city guards who had been stationed on the city wall for a long time and regarded their positions as a leisurely and decent job were obviously not ready.
Not ready for this cruel war.
His expression became ferocious, and he hurriedly threw the jar of fire oil in his hand in front of him, but he ran into a rat warrior who had climbed up. The jar hit the shield raised by the rat warrior above his head, and broke in the collision. The dark and sticky fire oil spilled and wet the body of the rat warrior. He was furious, and with a sharp hiss, the rat warrior directly grabbed the damn guy who was standing in front of the city wall.
Facing these terrifying rats, fear and chaos completely filled the heart of the guard. Regardless of what he had just thrown, he pulled out the torch placed on the wall beside him and hit the rat in front of him fiercely. The terrifying flames rose instantly.
The fire illuminated the face of this ordinary guard, an ordinary middle-aged man with stubble on his face, with a terrified expression on his face.
He felt a little excited in the flames.
But he forgot one thing, he seemed to be in the same range of the flames.
Two balls of fire fell from the city wall.
The screams were drowned out by the surging black tide.
The ratmen's attack continued.
