Chapter 18, the rat people are coming!
To deal with these 800 lizardmen, Du Yuan would need at least 3,000 rat warriors. Before meeting Du Yuan, this group of rat warriors did not have the classification and concept of rat warriors, but they did not The relationship is there now.
To support these three thousand rat warriors and the growing number of rat priests, all the remaining rat men need to be thrown into the ranks of slave rats. It is estimated based on the food consumed by slave rats. , it would take about four thousand slave rats to complete the support of the rat warriors and rat priests.
But in fact, according to the crazy squeezing attitude of the slave rats and the poor food supply, a portion of food may be divided among three to five slave rats, so in fact, the number of slave rats, There may be 10,000 to 20,000.
This can be enough to support the three thousand Skaven warriors who are comparable to the concept of human militia.
Now, Du Yuan has accumulated nearly a thousand rat warriors.
For the remaining two thousand, Du Yuan thinks it will take about six months in the family world to complete the accumulation.
Du Yuan really wanted Li Sheng to ignore him for a few more days, but today, the situation changed. At the edge of the forest, the lizard man abnormally left the wall and started a large-scale attack on this side of the barren mountain range. of gathering.
Soon, a lizardman army of three hundred people appeared at the edge of the forest. Among them were one hundred lizardman warriors and two hundred lizardman militiamen, who had completed their preparations.
Almost as soon as the preparations were completed, the team rushed towards the rat army led by the Spear Rat in the distance with great momentum.
But the Spear Rat was not stupid, and had no intention of confronting this lizard-man army. The wind blew tightly, and it led many rat-men to flee deep into the mountains.
It’s just that the posture this time is much different from before. The lizardmen did not chase the fleeing rat people, nor did they show off their power as usual at the abandoned camp of the spear rat. , but began to advance deeper into the mountains.
In the forest, another team of much shorter lizardmen came out, carrying logs of various sizes, and built an outpost on the site of the Spear Rat.
Du Yuan discovered this change, and the lizard man began to exert his strength.
In the next few days, the Lizardmen army began to advance crazily as if they were entering uninhabited territory. The Ratmen failed to organize effective resistance and fled.
Suddenly, the lizard people advanced deep into the mountains.
At this location, judging from the starting point of the lizardman army, they have already walked halfway to the Duyuan Altar.
Facing this increasingly dangerous situation, Du Yuan did not issue an oracle to the rat people. He kept watching what happened here, and the spontaneous actions of the rat people were also taken into account.
If it is not necessary, Du Yuan is not prepared to interfere with the arrangements of his group of rats.
It is impossible to do everything by yourself, especially for a god who controls the lifeblood of an entire race.
Although this battle is quite crucial for Du Yuan, he has been paying close attention to the development of the matter these days.
On the other side, a similarly illusory shadow was also suspended over the forest, and his eyes fell on the lizard man army that was far away from the forest and deep in the mountains.
He frowned, although he didn't think that a group of rat men could transcend the shackles of race and achieve a radical change in such a short period of time, becoming unparalleled in their strength.
But it’s strange, it’s so smooth, everything is so smooth, so smooth that it makes people wary.
Li Sheng also didn't think that someone who dared to provoke him in this way would be so reckless that he didn't make any preparations and didn't have any trump cards.
So what exactly are the other party's preparations and plans?
He looked at the lizard man army that was deep in the mountains and the outposts spreading along the way, and suddenly he had a guess.
Is this deliberate laissez-faire? Could it be that the purpose of the opponent is to put their main force deep into the mountains?
But what can this do? Does he really think he can defeat the lizardman army in his hands with the help of those weak ratmen?
This possibility certainly exists, but Li Sheng doesn't think the rat man in Du Yuan's hands can do it. This barren mountain range is too barren.
It is difficult to maintain development, so how can we achieve more?
It’s just that after this idea appeared in Li Sheng’s mind, he couldn’t get rid of it. No matter how much he thought about it, it shouldn’t be. This mountain range was too barren.
Even the goblins, whose survivability is comparable to that of the rat men, cannot be found in this mountain range.
Li Sheng didn’t understand.
Obviously, he did not expect that Du Yuan had accepted the blood sacrifice and burned the precious power of faith for that little bit of food.
Running towards the path of the evil god will always yield some special rewards.
………….
At night, in this barren mountain range, the lizardmen lit campfires. The dry wind brought finely divided sand and gravel and blew on the hard scales on the surface of the lizardmen, making most of the lizardmen more I felt a little uncomfortable, but it was just discomfort.
They are not as dependent on water as their amphibious cousins, the water lizards, who live near water sources and have lost most of their scales.
The hard and fine scales growing on the body bring good water retention and very good defense, and are not overly afraid of dry environments and blowing sand.
But given the choice, lizardmen would of course prefer to move in dense forests.
The environment in this barren and barren mountain range is far from comfortable.
In the camp, the strongest lizardman leader sat cross-legged in front of the fire, thoughtful. The excessively smooth progress made him a little more worried.
Although the rat people are weak, they are not without any resistance. However, during the advance, this group of rat people did not have any idea of confrontation and fled.
Faced with this situation, the brave lizard warriors not only disdained the weakness of the opposite rats, but also began to proudly cheer for the easy victory.
It’s just that as the leader of the lizardmen, I can’t be like a warrior and not think about it.
But what do they want to do?
Suddenly, the commotion in the camp interrupted the lizard man leader's contemplation, and he looked in the direction the lizard man warrior was looking.
The answer seems to have been revealed by the opponent.
In the distance, a group of flames suddenly exploded and began to spread along the mountains along their path.
That's the warning signal from the outpost!
In the distance, on the top of the towering mountains, pairs of red eyes appeared vaguely on the mountains. There were too many eyes to count.
Under the soft moonlight.
A high-pitched scream sounded.
The rat people are coming!
