Chapter 150, the pollution of the rat people, the construction of two elite troops, and the desire to be entrusted
The war ended, and some guys who followed the rat army began to become active.
Some scavenger team ratmen began to shuttle across the battlefield.
Seize this precious opportunity and start negotiations with the rat warriors.
In the big battle just now.
There were also many scavenger team ratmen who fell because they were too close to the battlefield due to greed.
However, most of the surviving guys still got a lot of resources, carefully protected their trophies behind their backs, and at the same time smiled, and took over the task of carrying the trophies for the rat warriors. this matter.
The most important trophy for the rat people is naturally the other creatures themselves.
The merit system established by Rat War only recognizes the tail, and there is no requirement that rat warriors must deliver a whole corpse in order to redeem merit.
As a result, these corpses scattered on the battlefield will naturally not be wasted.
I don’t know if it’s out of reverence for the gods, or simply inertia.
Since the rise of the Rat Men, the only sacrifices offered to the gods have been the intelligent beings themselves, and at the very least, the weak Goblin Kobolds.
But there is no rat man to use simple animals to fool the great god.
In fact, it has no impact. Although the process of birth of blood mushrooms not only absorbs the life essence from the bodies of living beings, but also involves the resentment of living beings.
If those animals without intelligence participate, they can only provide the essence of life, but they cannot withstand the resentment of the creatures accumulated here by Du Yuan. There are too many.
There were so many that even though Xiaochun had been carefully extracting the resentment of living beings from Du Yuan's bloody aura, there were still so many resentments that Du Yuan's bloody aura turned slightly black.
At least until the resentment of the creatures wrapped in the bloody aura around Du Yuan is exhausted, any living creature can sprout blood mushrooms in the blood pool.
The reason why no rat men did this is purely because of the inertia brought about by the long-term habit of making sacrifices.
No rat man took the initiative to overcome this inertia.
Maybe it’s because of faith.
Perhaps it is also because of reverence for gods.
Although this also brings a problem, not every battle can capture a large number of opponents, and the value of the killed creatures as sacrifices will rapidly depreciate with the passage of time. .
They are not always able to return quickly after the battle.
This is a tough question.
It is also an extremely urgent need under this demand.
Some small teams among the Ratman scavengers began to act as porters, and the reward was only some blood mushrooms.
The contracts were confirmed verbally one by one.
A team of rat scavengers began to move.
Of course, there is no guarantee that it can be delivered smoothly and completely.
Even if it can be delivered completely, there is no guarantee that you will get paid.
There is no such thing as a deposit in Ratman.
Even if everything goes well, it will be inevitable for both parties to gather people and have a pleasant discussion before it can be finalized.
If the rat warriors who are not strong enough choose a team of profiteers who are strong enough, they will have to beat the dogs with meat buns.
On the contrary, the same is true for the Skaven Scavengers.
Everyone is choosing the right person to do business with.
It brought a lot of confusion and disputes.
These problems can actually be solved with just one sentence from Shuzhan.
As long as Rat War turns these enemy corpses into statistical units in the merit system, then these problems will no longer exist.
But this guy Mouse Zhan didn’t bother to lower his head and look down at the ground.
No matter what they do, as long as these things are thrown into the blood pool of the temple under his control, then he will definitely not lose money.
Half of the blood mushrooms produced will be sent to his hands.
The huge army left.
During the march, many rat men prayed devoutly to the great god, praying that they could gain more harvests.
The rat scavenging teams also led their own teams to chase after them.
The huge rat-man scavenger team is not united and has never been a neat part. They are a complex group of various rat-men who have gradually begun to divide their labor.
The scattered and independent rat men inside bear the most fundamental meaning of the name scavenger team.
On the battlefield, he picked up all kinds of strange things and collected trophies that the rat army looked down upon.
Small and medium-sized scavenger teams started a transportation business, traveling between the fighting army and the stronghold and fortress behind.
The largest scavenging teams adhere to opportunism.
Became a kind of de facto mercenary, a supernumerary army.
Although unlike ordinary mercenaries, they do not need to be paid by Shu Zhan, and Shu Zhan will definitely not pay these guys.
Their rewards must be obtained by themselves on the battlefield. After finding the right opportunity, these largest scavenger teams will rush into the battlefield like a wandering wolf pack, attacking those who have exposed their weaknesses. enemies to attack.
And take the enemies you kill as your reward.
A group of opportunists wandering around the battlefield.
Of course, they are also the ones most likely to die suddenly in the scavenging team, although the great danger brings the highest reward.
In that regular siege battle, if they eliminate the enemies in an area, then all the gains in this area will also belong to them.
As for the encounter that just happened.
They will cut off the tails of dead enemies and replace them with blood mushrooms through some special channel.
This can greatly increase their income.
Although this is undoubtedly a trick in the war.
These large scavenger teams disappeared into the grassland following the departing rat army.
Although a little disappointed.
The second battle did not start today.
The large tents that had just been built from the ruins were abandoned by the sheep orcs.
Empty.
And because it had just been built from the ruins, there was nothing good in it.
The rat war is not going to go any further.
The flames were ignited again, and quickly spread towards the continuous tents. In the flames, the circle was beaten next to the sheep orc Jingguan, and the rat-man Jingguan who laid a foundation The view was swallowed up.
Soon after, the Skaven army left.
This area has returned to quiet.
After a while, the flames extinguished, and the vultures hovering in the sky became impatient with their waiting.
Eagerly falling from the sky.
There was a fight for the heads of the sheep orcs on the huge built temple. During the fight, the huge built temple collapsed and the heads on it rolled to the ground. .
Soon after, when the strong wind blows, when the fresh grass buds sprout again.
Then here, this place that was once a tragic battlefield and ravaged by flames will once again be transformed into a lush pasture.
Even because it is watered with blood, this pasture may become more lush.
The grasslands and the races that run on them all share a common quality, tenacity.
Although this kind of tenacity will appear vulnerable when faced with some complex, strange, weird and twisted things.
Around the temple that stands outside the rough fortress.
Unconsciously, the grassland that still grew tenaciously even though it was repeatedly trampled by ratmen began to wither. Centered on that temple.
The grass withered, all living things disappeared, and even the land was dyed a little red.
And it is still spreading slowly.
Only the rat people who come and go are not affected.
Because the rat people who come and go are not affected, this change has not attracted the rat people's special attention.
The temple built by Rat War was indeed unconventional, but it also ignored an issue that had never been considered before.
The blood pool dug on the grass does not seem to be able to prevent the bright water in the blood pool from overflowing to the surroundings.
Even if the overflow speed is not fast.
If the temple is placed inside the towering cliff, the blood pool dug into the rock will not face the problem of overflowing.
The overflowing bright red water seems to have left stubborn and unknown changes on the land it has infected in a very short period of time.
Not many creatures can even live on such a land.
Except the Skaven.
These guys should be full of drug resistance.
………….
On the vast grassland.
Near the battlefield that had just experienced a fierce battle.
The two rat men groped forward cautiously.
And not far away from them.
A giant sheep fell to the ground and was dying, and a sheep orc knight also fell aside, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
One of the rat men encouraged his companions.
"Go! Kill that giant sheep, and then we will take that guy back. You can learn from that old guy how to become a rat priest!"
The instigated rat People don’t hesitate much either.
Holding the broken spear tip tightly, he walked towards the dying giant sheep not far away.
He was quickly grabbed.
"You idiot! I told you to go, and you just went!"
The person holding this reckless and stupid guy was a thin figure.
She looked helplessly at the dumbfounded guy next to her.
The pulled rat man frowned and looked at his companions with confusion.
“I finally understand why the commander-in-chief chose you guys to be the personal guards!
But this is fine.
You idiot owe me a favor!
And you must return it! Do you know? "
The emaciated rat man grabbed the stunned rat man in front of him and spoke word by word.
At the same time, some things were also revealed, the most obvious one should be that There is a neat circle of hideous scars on the wrist.
This is the mark left by being tied up with hemp rope and dragged hard for a long time.
Such marks generally only appear on slave rats.
Facing the words of the emaciated rat man, the dumb rat man hesitated a little.
"But I want to become a temple guard."
I was interrupted directly by the emaciated rat man, with his hot and crazy eyes.
"No! You can and can only become a Skaven Priest!"
Something seemed to be placed on the stunned rat man in front of him by the thin rat man.
In its confused expression.
………….
The war continues.
And it went in a direction that made Rat Zhan quite irritated.
Those sheep orc knights started fighting with rats on the grassland, and they started a game of chasing and fleeing, stopping and rebelling.
The troops under Shu Zhan simply cannot catch up with these damn guys.
And if you don't chase them, they will always come close again and again, and after throwing down a round of arrows, they will quickly escape.
This made Shu Zhan quite irritated, but there was nothing he could do about it.
I had no choice but to start the most traditional and helpless tactic.
Tunnels were dug and a huge camp was built.
Standing on the outskirts of that simple fortress, although it seems a bit strange to build a camp to defend the fortress.
But Shu Zhan didn’t dare to really use the temple of the gods to support him. Even though he was quite proud, he had to admit that when those damn guys were getting closer and closer to this fortress.
This may appear.
Those sheep-orcs may storm the temple of the great god.
Even though this may be quite weak.
A camp full of ravines was carefully built to deal with such a possibility.
At the same time, he did not sit idly by and ignore the slippery sheep orc knights.
Choose the safest strategy.
Wait!
The resources obtained in those two wars have not been completely digested. A large number of blood mushrooms sprout in the blood pool in the temple every day.
At the same time, a large number of rat people are coming here from afar.
The army in the hands of Rat Zhan is expanding rapidly every day, and the blood mushrooms are finally getting rich.
More weapons are delivered, and more giant rats are born in the dark corners of the fortress.
A large number of rat knights were formed.
Rat War did not equip all rat knights with iron armor as extravagantly as those senior priests.
But in order to deal with the absolutely elite guys like the Sheep Orc Commando.
Two special teams were formed by him.
Raider Runners and Dire Knights.
The Skaven Runners will be composed of the most elite of the Skaven warriors.
The same is true for the Fierce Knights. The Rat War will incorporate its most elite personal guards into them.
The Rat Battle was also a rare act of generosity for these two teams.
The armor and weapons will be the best, and the blood mushrooms provided to them will also be second only to the rat warlords in the rat army.
These are two truly elite troops. Although they are still under construction, if Rat Zhan had any elite troops in that encounter, they would undoubtedly be able to tear apart those sheep faster. Ork Commando Defense.
If this can be done, then the sheep orcs will undoubtedly shed more blood in that war.
Although Dire Knight may have to go through the baptism of many wars before it can reach the expectations of Rat War.
His rat knights were formed too late.
Unlike the Rat Runners, they only need to recruit the elite rat warriors in the army who have survived every battle, those real veterans, and they can be successfully formed.
But it shouldn’t take too long. On this vast grassland, there will be no shortage of battles for the rat knights.
