Chapter 149: The brewing rat disaster, the advancing civilization, and the sheep-orcs struggling to hold on
Rat Zhan raised his head, the indifference on his face was clearly visible, but the high priest of the sheep-orcs frowned. frowned.
The size of the Skaven army is simply too great.
Even if he has summoned the warriors of the remaining three tribes, he has only gathered 50,000 sheep orc knights.
As for the endless rat-men troops in front of them, their number is difficult to estimate.
But without much hesitation, it was just a charge.
Even if the enemy is strong, one must not forget one's own courage.
Although he is old, he still leads the way.
In the sound of the trumpet.
The sheep orc knights also began to charge, following his pace.
The battle is about to begin.
The Rat Man also gave a reaction.
"Whoever kills that old guy! Who is the new rat warlord!"
The reward was handed down by Rat Zhan.
Easy to use as always, such a reward.
A commotion began to spread.
Even the young ratmen who were among the ratmen warriors were a little more eager.
Hold the wooden spear firmly in his hand.
In eagerness, the Skaven's morale grew high.
The brutal fight did not begin with the charge of the sheep orcs.
Rounds of arrows were thrown.
Falling into the huge rat army, but not even a single ripple was made.
It didn't even cause a huge blow to the morale of the rat people.
Even if the arrows keep falling, even if the ratmen keep falling down and dying.
But it happened that it did not do much damage to the morale of the rat warriors.
The death of their companions did not make these rat warriors feel so deeply, only when they faced the cruel battle and the terrifying enemy.
Wasitation will occur quickly.
The Supervisory Team did not even intervene.
Amidst the waving battle flags and the sharp roar, the rat army began to march.
Maybe it's because the power of the arrow is too small.
If the soaring dragon sprays flames downwards in the sky, then even if the supervising team intervenes on the battlefield, the morale of the rat warriors will probably be difficult to maintain.
The old Feng led a commando to attack the rat people on the frontal battlefield.
Just a charge.
This commando almost broke the frontal formation of the rat army.
The trampled giant deer is devastating to the infantry.
But it only broke down the frontal formation of the rat army.
Soon, the following rat warriors came over in order to become a rat warlord.
For this reason, these senior rat warriors are even more crazy and fearless than those reckless young rat warriors.
Just as an old guy who has been galloping on the grassland all his life.
Of course the high priest of the sheep orcs knows how the cavalry fights.
In just an instant, the sheep orc commando team that completed the impact mission began to break away.
With this decisive retreat, the rat warriors simply could not keep this old guy.
But there are not only rat warriors in this huge army.
The rat knights rushed out from the rear of the army, with a very clear goal, which was to keep the old guy who charged fearlessly.
Even though the sheep orc knights are far more flexible and faster than the rat knights, the timing is just right now.
Used to prevent enemy knights from escaping.
Facing the sheep orcs, the rat knights under Rat Zhan were far behind in both quantity and quality.
Simply, the position was changed by Rat War.
The rat knights bit the sheep orc commando, giving the following rat warriors a chance to get close to the enemy.
But this is exactly what the old guy meant.
The large army of sheep orcs who threw arrows almost instantly changed the target of their attack.
The short bow in his hand was put down.
The scimitar from his waist was pulled out.
In that call, he ran wildly.
He crashed into the approaching rat knights.
That old guy, that cunning and bold old guy, his target has always been the rat knights who were placed behind the huge army by the rat war.
He wanted to eat all the rat knights in front of Rat War, in front of this huge army.
This is a very appropriate strategy.
The protagonists on the grassland have always been the running knights.
In this vast land, there are no complicated terrains or many dangerous passes.
There are even very few places suitable for building a city.
Just eat all the rat knights.
No matter how troublesome this huge army is, the follow-up can be dealt with slowly by relying on mobility.
This is a very smart approach.
At the same time, he was also bold enough to dare to throw himself out as a bait during the first battle between the two sides to achieve such a goal.
So did he succeed?
To some extent, he succeeded.
The Rat Knight who arrived was quickly destroyed when he was flanked by the Sheep Orcs on both sides.
If this bold old guy faces other commanders.
Then his adventure this time will be a complete victory.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the importance of the knight team on the grassland.
Even if they don’t understand, the knight who is losing his weight quickly will make them react quickly.
Knights have never been cheap guys.
This is true even among the Skaven.
The worth and training resources of an ordinary rat knight are already as high as twenty rat warriors.
At this time, in order to stop the loss in time.
Then what will be the order given?
That is undoubtedly a transfer.
Trying to move the team of knights who were outflanked from the battlefield, and then the adventurous old guy was able to leave the battlefield without hesitation.
Originally, this strategy is very feasible.
It's just unfortunate that the commander of the rat army at this time is Rat Zhan.
Facing the shaped millstone.
Rats War did not withdraw the rat knights. On the contrary, he chose to raise the stakes without hesitation.
The remaining rat knights were also pressed up by him.
The rat knights loyally carried out the orders of the rat war, charging without fear, abandoning all other targets, and rushed straight into the battlefield where the meat was already being minced, in order to kill the man who was being killed. The old sheep orc was holding back the battlefield. The knights on the periphery continued to distance themselves and repeated the action of charging, and fell into the depths of the battlefield. The knights who had no room to move were fighting cruelly in a small space.
The rat knights dropped their spears, and the short and capable war clubs were prepared for fighting in this small environment.
Actually, it is a battle stick, which is an iron rod with irregular bumps on the top.
Well, if you say that the Ratman's industry is a drag, that's not the case. The industrial area that does not stop day and night in the barren mountains produces a large amount of metal every day.
But you said their industry is developed.
Most of the weapons given were rough and cooled iron rods.
These guys can only work tirelessly and strive for excellence when casting ritual utensils and things related to the gods.
The giant bell brought to this simple fortress by the Temple Knights is particularly exquisite.
However, despite this, the effect of the rough iron rod was not affected.
Solid materials bring a good hitting feel, and the concave and convex spikes on the top add good armor-piercing capabilities.
Of course, this would not be of much use against the sheep orcs who also couldn't afford metal armor, but those tall giant sheep were particularly suitable for dealing with the sheep orcs' mounts.
Easily able to break the thick leg bones of the giant sheep.
The goat orc riding the giant sheep is half taller than the rat knight riding the giant rat.
The two faced each other, and on this narrow and chaotic battlefield, loud roars and sharp neighs were mixed.
But overall, it is the sheep orc knights who have the upper hand.
The knights from both sides who were constantly hedging on the outside were the first to decide the winner.
The Rat Knight was defeated in the collision.
But they did what they were supposed to do.
He bit the commander of the sheep orcs, the old high priest Feng.
With the fluttering flag erected, it was impossible for the sheep orcs to retreat, and they rushed in like crazy.
But the rat knights were even more desperate.
Amidst the sharp neighing, these red-eyed guys rushed straight towards the flag not far away, regardless of anything else.
Then he crashed hard into the waiting sheep orc commando, and died as quickly as a moth.
No doubt.
This commando team gathers the most elite warriors among the sheep orcs.
The only people in the Ratman Kingdom who can compete with them are the temple guards who stick to the temple, or the elite Ratman warriors who have followed the Rat Wars through one war after another.
Even the temple guards may be at a disadvantage when facing these guys.
The rat knights are no match for this group of sheep orc commandos.
But at this time, these dull guys charged without hesitation.
In the sharp neighing, it is the life that is disappearing rapidly.
Just because of an order from Rat Zhan.
Zhu Zhan never pity his soldiers.
But he can bring victory.
The running rat warriors have arrived.
In a very short period of time, this tentative attack directly escalated into a life-and-death fight with the crazy increase of rat war.
The goal of the goat-orc high priest was achieved. After this battle, not even half of the rat knights under Rat Zhan would be left.
But at the same time, the sheep orcs' strategy completely failed.
This force formed by the Sheep Orcs was dragged into a cruel war of attrition by the Rat War.
Rat War doesn’t care about the losses suffered by his troops.
But can the old guy not care about the tribal warriors who follow him?
Standing in the center of the battlefield, this mouse looked down at everything in front of him with cold eyes.
The brutal battle ended after the old guy escaped.
The sheep orc knights left this cruel battlefield, left in embarrassment, and disappeared into the depths of the lush grassland, leaving behind a large number of corpses.
The Rat Man suffered even more losses.
The first one to bear the brunt was the rat knight who was attacked from both sides.
Of the twenty thousand rat knights, only eight thousand were left.
The losses among the rat warriors were even more serious, although most of the losses were the young rat warriors.
Thirty thousand rat warriors were left on this grassland.
In exchange for the death of 10,000 sheep orcs from the opposite side.
The sharpest commando team was almost completely destroyed.
The sheep orcs still have an army of 40,000, but only 40,000 are left.
Even though the Ratmen lost 40,000 troops, they only lost 40,000 troops.
There is a huge gap between them.
Soon after, the corpses on this battlefield will be sent to the lake of blood in a sacrificial ceremony, whether they are rat people or goat orcs.
In the sprouting blood mushrooms, more rat people will come here, for the blood mushrooms, for merit, for honor, for everything of their own, and for the insatiable desire , will become a member of the huge army under Shu Zhan, and a member of the chaotic team running on the battlefield at this time.
Become a bargaining chip in the hands of the rat war.
This is undoubtedly a brewing disaster, a disaster that all intelligent races on the grassland will face.
But at this time, only the sheep orcs who have declined and cannot live up to their former glory are struggling to support themselves, and only the old and aging sheep orc high priest is struggling to support them.
The unruly rat war did not stop, now that the sheep orcs were stationed again in the camp they destroyed.
Then the end point of this expedition is still there.
In that waving battle flag.
This huge army, which had just experienced a brutal battle, started marching again.
What's strange is that we don't see any fatigue or confusion left by the brutal battle on them.
Some are just excited.
Even those stiff rat knights have bloody tails hanging around their necks.
To be honest, they actually prefer the lizard man's tail.
The lizard man's tail, which is covered with layers of scales and has a unique luster, is much more beautiful and dazzling than the tails of these sheep orcs.
But they don’t dislike it. This is their merit and their desire to fight.
The recent appearance of noisy ruins has given the blood mushrooms in the hands of these rat warriors other uses besides eating them.
The blood mushrooms in their hands were consumed faster, and they also became more thirsty for blood mushrooms.
The tails of these sheep orcs are their vouchers in exchange for blood mushrooms.
Of course, before that, maybe it would be a good choice to hang a sheep orc tail around your neck and sit in the noisy ruins for a while.
Comparison has never been exclusive to the rat priests, but most of the time, even if most rat men want to compare, they don't have any channels.
Until recently, with the outflow of more blood mushrooms, the noisy ruins belonging to the gathering of rat people at the bottom were born.
Of course, comparison is not a particularly good thing.
It will give rise to jealousy, unwillingness, hatred, and all kinds of violence and despicable behavior.
But in the end, it gave a little comfort to the rat people who accounted for the vast majority of the rat people in the kingdom of rat people, those rat people at the bottom, making them become more like humans.
The rat people's civilization progress increased by one again, and their kingdom became more prosperous.
Although it has not yet been discovered that this has brought any particularly big changes to the rat people.
