Chapter 152, Silent Shengqi, the Running Knight supporting the boss, the war has only begun
The morale of the rat army was temporarily stabilized.
Start to deal with the charging mountain warriors.
It’s just that the Western Expeditionary Force in Sheng Qi’s hands is not of much use.
To be precise, after the rat priests disappeared, they were of no use.
It was just a simple collision, without the support of the mad transformation technique. Even though it had an absolute advantage in scale, the huge rat army almost collapsed at the first touch.
These rat warriors, who had no motivation and no subjective will to fight, performed very poorly, even though their equipment was far better than that of their colleagues in the Eastern Expeditionary Force.
Most ratmen have metal spears in their hands, even young ratmen are no exception.
There will even be a small leather shield, although you can't say what kind of leather the leather shield is made of. The origin is very mixed.
But when it came time to run away, there was no ambiguity at all.
After the differences in their operating models, the two armies have become worlds apart.
At least at this moment, you can only see fear and panic in the eyes of these rat warriors of the Western Expeditionary Force who have lost the support of the priests' auxiliary spells.
Disintegrated, ran away without hesitation, dispersed in a rush, and burrowed into the army behind them.
In the majestic heavy rain, in the enemies coming from all directions.
The half-elf army is not large.
Due to population limitations, the army they can pull out is here.
Less than one hundred thousand.
It's all here.
This is all their army. The population of half-elves is not prosperous enough.
Among them, there are even fewer mountain warriors as frontal assault troops.
Only thirty thousand.
Because of the long life and the overly strict requirements.
The training of skills, the mastery of weapons, and the trials.
Every half-elf must complete a trial that belongs to them when they officially receive the title of Forest Warrior.
Or climb a high mountain, hunt a beast, complete a thought, and defeat an opponent.
There is no doubt that it brings results.
These bare-chested forest warriors are at least proficient in three weapons. They can become good archers immediately after picking up a bow and arrow. If it weren't for the fact that these hills are not suitable for cavalry, they would I guess I can make a cameo appearance as well.
It’s just that such an elite unit had no results before today.
In fact, it is not just these forest warriors, but also the equally elite half-elf wanderers.
The huge catapult will hurl the deformed rat-men at any abnormal movement in the forest. The damage caused by the terrifying deformed flesh will not be affected by your skill or lack thereof.
The huge Skaven army does not care about the casualties of one or two Skaven.
It doesn't matter if the number is even higher.
If those rat priests are still standing in the army and playing the role they should play.
This great rout can no longer be suppressed.
Sheng Qi realized this.
In a sharp roar, he mobilized the only power he could rely on in his hand.
The Skaven Knights began their charge.
The roaring rat knights instantly tore a hole in the front line of the forest warriors.
No matter how elite a warrior you are, you have honed your martial arts skills for many years.
After being broken out of formation by the giant rat's charge, they could only become prey.
What you face is never a fair fight.
Nets were thrown out one after another, nooses fell one after another, and they were pulled to the ground in the noisy and harsh sound.
The skills you hone will not give you more ability to fight back when faced with the giant rat's drag.
And it may not just be a giant rat dragging you.
These absolutely elite warriors were brutally torn apart while being dragged.
Accompanied by the roaring laughter of the running knights.
The charging knights did not stop.
They could not reverse the great rout of the Skaven army that was still spreading rapidly.
What these charging knights are good at is not attacking enemy formations like real knights.
These guys are really a group of soldiers with a very strange position.
Just like the hunters in the rat army, the hunters running around the rat army.
When the huge army of rat men swarms up and completely surrounds the opposite side, they will start to wander around the battle line, relying on the lasso and net in their hands to catch the enemy's line because of the madness of the rat man priests who do not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. When chaos occurs due to magic.
They will swarm forward without giving any chance to react, and instantly destroy the enemy's army's line.
The collapse of the front line will instantly destroy the local battlefield.
Everything can get messy.
But this situation is definitely a real home battle for the rat people.
As long as the gap is not blocked, and as long as there is a steady stream of rat warriors coming, they will quickly fill every corner around you in a short while.
These rat warriors, who have been given the madness technique to disown their relatives, will push the terms of hand-to-hand combat and group fighting to the limit.
They are indeed cheap and weak.
But you don’t have eyes and three-dimensional defense all over your body.
Even the lizard man with strong scales was stabbed hard in the butthole by the rats with wooden spears, and was beaten back steadily.
Finally, he was knocked to the ground in frustration.
But the prerequisite for all this is that the war can be stabilized.
In the great rout, without the support of the rat warriors who were holding on, the attacking knights would only be surrounded.
It will only be a little more difficult for those half-elf forest warriors to kill them than to kill ordinary rat warriors.
The only turning point in this war that turned into chaos was the disappearance of the rat priests.
Sheng Qi does not have the same binding force on the rat priests as Rat Zhan does on the rat warlords under his command.
He cannot force these rat priests to risk their lives to support this corrupt battlefield.
For this reason, he could only put his own guards, the only attacking knights he could directly command, into the battlefield.
Those demon archers must be killed, otherwise everything will be irreversible.
With red eyes, he roared at the top of his lungs.
Sheng Qi can only place his hope on the group of charging knights who roared into the forest.
Then.
Then he was disappointed.
In the even more dazzling magic light.
The earth shook and the mountains shook, and ancient trees rose up from the ground, turning into terrifying tall tree men.
The feeling of facing these guys is similar to the feeling of the rat warriors facing the forest warriors.
This is an enemy that is simply invincible!
Living up to the ferocity and calmness of the hunt for the forest warriors just now, he ran down from the forest with fear and panic.
Even though there are not many huge tree people rising from the ground, they have not had the idea of fighting against these big trees that can walk.
The attacking knights ran very fast and even quickly surpassed the fleeing rat warriors.
In a flash, he was about to disappear.
At this time, a huge boulder with a cry of despair flew over his head.
With a roar, it smashed into the lush mountain forest in front of it. It hit accurately and accurately hit the fleeing knights.
For a time, all the attacking knights were on their knees.
But I can't blame them.
Amidst the panicked shouts of the Big Claw Priest, a huge sound sounded from the rear of the rat army.
A huge trebuchet disintegrated.
The rough and huge gear passed over Sheng Qi’s head, causing a violent howling sound.
The attack on the rat army added a bit of chaos to the already chaotic environment.
Sheng Qi was indeed a lucky guy. The rough gear that crushed a group of rat warriors just passed over his head.
But he was not happy.
Looking at everything in front of him, he fell into a long silence. In other words, at this time, he could only remain silent.
Sheng Qi ignored a very important thing.
Even though these guys are his bodyguards, his control over them is actually not enough.
This group of guys has always had the tradition of being tight-lipped.
These Skaven Knights are not trustworthy at all!
They will listen to Sheng Qi’s orders, and they will be loyal to Sheng Qi, but they will not delay running away when something happens.
However, as their boss Sheng Qi, these flexible guys are still thinking about him.
I didn’t forget the rope seven when I was running.
They swarmed up to Sheng Qi, not caring about Sheng Qi’s feelings.
The rat warriors who were fleeing around were forced to stay.
In the silence of Shengqi.
A group of bitter rat warriors were stared at fiercely by the Knights of Assault.
The high platform on which Shengqi stood was raised.
Then he strenuously took steps and began to walk quickly, swaying far away.
Surrounded by the charging knights.
Sheng Qi was forced to make a strategic change.
As for the two senior priests who also hold key say in the rat-man army, they have long since disappeared.
On that swaying high platform.
In that messy situation.
In that chaotic environment.
Sheng Qi's eyes were a little more confused.
The huge army of rat men fled completely.
The elf queen standing at the top of the canyon climbed on the shoulders of a huge tree man.
Looking at the fleeing rat army not far away.
Heaved a sigh of relief.
As the queen of the half-elves, she is still very young, and the half-elves have never had the position of queen before.
Half-elves have always lived in these hills in a loose settlement.
Until the gods sent down the sacred golden oak tree.
This huge rat army put a lot of pressure on her.
Until now.
Slapping her chest, the more than 100-year-old queen showed a bit of coquettishness that only a girl would have on her face.
Heaved a sigh of relief.
The magic dissipated, and the tall tree man slowly sat down after yawning, and turned into an old tree again.
The half-elf queen standing on it turned over and fell.
The expression on his face once again turned into that calm indifference.
No matter what, the weakness of this invading race is a good thing for the half-elves.
Even their weird equipment and horrific pollution are difficult to deal with.
But in the end, the half-elves won this war.
Cheers echoed throughout the mountains and forests.
All half-elves are rejoicing.
Is this war really that easy?
Sheng Qi pulled out the arrow from his butt and gritted his teeth.
Blood gurgled out, but the constant pain was far less than the anger he had accumulated now.
After the defeated army left the canyon, they began to regroup with the spontaneous return of the rat warriors.
The rat warriors and the charging knights gathered under the banner of his commander again as if nothing had happened.
If Sheng Qi thought about it now, he could even lead the army towards the canyon not far away again.
It’s just that the results won’t change much.
The group of rat priests who were supposed to be ordered by him also returned.
Gathered around the two senior priests.
Rarely, Sheng Qi’s face became cold.
Unspeakable anger brewed in his eyes.
There is no doubt that these despicable and cowardly guys brought him this defeat.
These damn guys!
These damn guys!
But he was powerless! But he is powerless!
Sheng Qi is the commander-in-chief elected by many senior priests. Although he is angry, at this moment he simply cannot do anything to these damn guys in front of him.
In anger, Sheng Qi did not notice the inexplicable light in the eyes of the two senior rat priests not far away.
Such a disastrous defeat ultimately requires a ratman to back it up.
Who is more suitable to take the blame than the nominal supreme commander of this army?
But such thoughts were abandoned after seeing the rat-man running knights gathered around Shengqi.
Sheng Qi swallowed this breath.
Soon, in that laughing expression, the army was integrated again.
In this war, the Skaven Western Expeditionary Force suffered heavy losses.
But neither Sheng Qi nor the two senior priests took this seriously.
One hundred thousand, the total number of troops that the Half-Elf Queen can pull out in the kingdom is less than one hundred thousand, but this is only the loss of the Ratman Western Expeditionary Force in one battle.
Not only Sheng Qi and the senior priests did not take these casualties seriously, but even the rat warriors did not take these casualties seriously.
The rat people are afraid of their own death, but they never care about death.
In each of the wars, the roads were not paved with the bones of these slave rats, young rat men, and rat warriors.
In each breeding room, countless rat-man cubs are born at the same time every moment, growing up crowded in a small environment.
Aren’t they just nourishment?
Outskirts of rolling hills.
A rambling team of ratmen has arrived.
This was the first wave of supplies given by the rat priests,
the first batch of miners used to mine the coal mines.
It can also be a member of the Skaven army.
In the future, such a huge team of rat men will arrive in batches at regular intervals.
Until the half-elves in this hilly area were completely crushed by the accumulation.
Even if these guys are useless.
This kind of mobilization ability has always been coveted by Rat Zhan.
As the protagonist of the old days.
It is far from time for the Skaven Priests to retire.
Ninety percent or more of the resources in the entire Skaven Kingdom are also controlled and mobilized by them.
This is still the case where the white rat has made a balance.
If the White Rats do not push for the establishment of the Rat Council.
Then even the rat war that has been blessed by the gods is still unable to compete with these gathered rat priests.
Everything in the Skaven Empire is in their hands.
If they don't agree, then the rat war army will not even get a young rat man.
Until the Skaven Council was established.
Even though Shu Zhan hates the white rat, he wishes the white rat would die.
But if the white rat really dies immediately, then the first one to cry will definitely be this arrogant and unruly guy.
The old white rat is still lying on top of the rat kingdom.
