Chapter 60, The Skinner (monthly ticket adds 13 updates)
Under the swaying leaves, a group of rats were hiding in utter distress.
The leading ratman was in a particularly unstable state at this time.
The siege battle ended in failure without any surprise when Blackdramon joined the battlefield.
While the giant beasts were soaring in the sky, the rats could only run in embarrassment and escape in the swamp.
It was time to make a choice, whether to return to the barren mountains and accept the scrutiny of the white rat who had become violent and suspicious because he had lost the favor of the gods, or to fight the lizard people again with his defeated army.
Yes, now the rat expeditionary force under Rat Zhan has lost more than half of its huge number in a way that was almost cut in half.
The fact that half of it was still preserved was due to the complete rout of the Ratmen troops in that instant after the disastrous defeat in the siege battle.
The rats broke up and ran into the swamp in fear. After they were safe, they quietly gathered together with the various rat warlords who fled into the swamp. Then the rat warlords were gathered by the rat war.
After running and escaping in the swamp for a long time, they finally gathered the scattered troops.
But the current situation of the Skaven troops is definitely not good.
The morale of the army had been shattered in a great battle. The rat priests ran too fast and could not be found at once. Almost all of the war team was destroyed in Jiuqi City.
Without the priest's madness and the promotion of the war team, if the rat army wants to fight a tough battle, it has become inevitable to flee all the way.
What's more, this is not the most deadly situation. The most deadly thing is the rat warlords with evil intentions. After a tragic defeat, the prestige of the rat war was wiped out almost instantly.
Even those despicable rat warlords are difficult to suppress.
Thinking of those despicable, ungodly, damned guys, Rat Zhan couldn't help but grit his teeth.
If those guys came to help me earlier after storming the city wall, when all the dust settled, then even if the damn dragon came, I would still have time to react and deal with it.
It’s all those short-sighted, despicable, and irreverent guys who have ruined this divine war dedicated to the gods.
Thinking of this, the flesh and blood corroded by the acid under the sutured skin on Shu Zhan's body ached faintly.
But he was not defeated by such pain, or he was just a crazy mouse.
At this time, he had to decide between the two options of returning or continuing the divine battle.
The pain of burning flesh and blood made him suffer almost every moment, but what made him even more angry were the despicable rats and warlords in the rat army who wanted to replace him.
At this time when his prestige was at its lowest point, he had to use the craziest gesture to intimidate those guys.
The bodyguards who followed him from Old Qicheng and escaped from the black dragon's pursuit were skinned in public, with blood dripping all over their bodies, pretending to be so angry that they lost their minds. , wielding the spear given by the gods and baring his teeth and claws.
In order to make those damn rats feel scared, in order to prevent them from provoking themselves for the time being.
Such humiliation must be repaid eventually.
In the temporary camp, in Rat Zhan's tent, several excited young rat men enthusiastically expressed their loyalty to Rat Zhan in front of them.
"The greatest commander! The wisest commander! I am willing to die for you!"
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
"Thank you! Great Commander! Great Commander!"
The rat war they faced at this time was not as violent and ruthless as the recent rumors in the rat army. On the contrary, it was a bit more brutal. calm. Although the crazy light flashing in his eyes from time to time is no different from the description.
He looked at the several young rat men in front of him, who were groveling to please, and nodded.
“Remember what I told you, get out!”
The young rat man took the initiative, or rather impatiently, and rolled out. Really, he rolled out with a rolling motion.
In just a few words from Shu Zhan, after Shu Zhan made a promise.
It is fanatical and groveling.
It’s not a big promise.
I just promised them a chance to become rat warlords. What is puzzling is that the rat army is obviously saturated with rat warlords. Where did Rat Zhan find the position to make the promise? Woolen cloth?
How strange!
At night, in the temporary camp, all the young ratmen suddenly gathered together uncharacteristically.
Although this gathering did not attract much attention from the rat people.
These young guys always look like this, buzzing, full of energy, and irritating. Except when they need to be used, no ratman is willing to pay attention to these guys.
Because after spending a lot of effort to explore, you will be embarrassed to find that they don’t know what they are doing!
Therefore, whether they are rat warriors, senior rat warriors, or rat warlords, these guys are always in a state of neglect.
There are so many of them, just pull them out when you need to use them.
This kind of neglect made them ignore the strangeness of the young rat people at this time.
Tonight, the size of this group of young ratmen is exceptionally large.
Almost most of the young ratmen in this camp participated. They carried their simple wooden spears, or wore some wooden shields and armor picked up on the battlefield, and were divided into several groups. , groups hiding in the shadows of the camp.
Waiting with excitement and excitement, as if waiting for a certain signal.
However, after all, the number gathered was too much. Occasionally, some astute rat warriors would notice something was wrong and scold these young rat men without hesitation.
At this time, two situations will occur.
First, there were too few rat warriors who discovered something was wrong, and there were too many young rat warriors who were scolded. After a while, a skeleton would appear in the shadows.
If there are enough rat warriors, then this group of young rat warriors will disperse in an instant and disappear. Then after the rat warriors leave, they will come back after a long distance.
What caused such a strange situation, or rather allowed these young rat people to gather together abnormally.
It is a promise, an expectation, a promise from the Skinner, the God's Favorite, the Rat Warlord, and the Rat War without a doubt.
Yes, although Shu Zhan ate the dragon beast and breathed acid, fell off the city wall and fled in embarrassment, this was not only humiliating but also a shame that could be remembered for a lifetime.
But there is no shame for other ratmen. After all, other ratmen also saw that giant beast that day. You survived the attack of that terrifying monster. You are also a powerful guy!
And cruel, ruthless, and violent, these words are even more praises to the rat people.
Therefore, the prestige of Rat War among the lower-level rat people has not been much damaged, but the shake caused by failure will still exist.
It’s just that the promise given by Rat War is too wonderful.
Just for the sake of a possibility, this group of under-appreciated young rats are willing to listen and go crazy.
