Chapter 248, war!
Shu Zhan received the gift from a distant place. The three Abandoned Scales of God were held in Shu Zhan’s hands, but it made him take a second look but failed to do so. Instead, it was the skinned The mother version of the giant rat takes the war more seriously and throws these three scales aside like garbage.
If Longclaw sees such a scene, that guy will go crazy again.
Things that you can’t get are thrown away by others like garbage.
Okay, maybe Shu Zhan didn’t understand what this thing is. After all, there is nothing wrong with this. This God’s Abandoned Scale can indeed bring real power. Shu Zhan doesn’t. Reject those who can hold the power in their own hands.
It's just that this guy is too arrogant, and he doesn't even have much interest in doing more research on the things in his hands.
Instead, the gaze paused on those guys who arrived behind the rat-man priest, and on the rather tall giant deformed rat-man.
When the rat priest left the camp again, he was left alone in his team without any crowd. On the contrary, the rat war had some unexpected gains.
The expression of this rat-man priest was gloomy. Rat Zhan did not give him any face. Correspondingly, he would definitely not give Rat Zhan any more face. This is how Rat Zhan got the reputation of being a person who hates dogs. Yes, the production of those giant rat men is still controlled by the rat priests.
The journey of the giant deformed rat-man to officially enter the battlefield has some twists and turns. Perhaps this is a good thing. For those gentle giant rat-men, no one would like to be born to become a cute person. Terrifying deformed monsters, but what will happen in the future is not up to them.
They have no choice as to what kind of person they want to be.
………….
The rat people have completely wiped out the area outside Mountain Dew City. All large and small manors, wheat fields, villages, fortresses, and castles have been destroyed.
The sneakers surging in the darkness all set their sights on the majestic city, just waiting for a cry, just waiting for an order.
The rat war climbed to the heights. Under the waving black dragon flag, the eight flags echoed each other. Countless rat men poured out from the darkness, hunched figures, roaring sharply, charging, charging, The charge gathered into a tide, like a tsunami. For the first time, the rat people began to surge on a large scale, towards the majestic city in front of them.
Whether they were prepared or not, the Skaven were here.
The first wave of impact broke out suddenly. The defenders on the city wall hurriedly pulled up the city gate, just to deal with the towering city wall. The rat war also brought some good things.
The huge war machinery showed its traces in the darkness, and with the terrifying whistling sound, extremely swollen rat-men were thrown wantonly into the city, wailing, and turned into masses of mottled scarlet.
The group of rat warriors at the forefront were running wildly on the ground carrying long ladders.
The first wave of spell strikes soon arrived, and the military mages took action. A round of falling fireballs shattered the rat-man front line at the forefront.
Those rat warriors who were originally running wildly with excitement suddenly had panic on their faces. However, before they could escape, they were pushed forward again by their companions behind them.
A large amount of bright light was cast into the sky, turning into short-lived stars, dispelling the darkness around the city, and also reflecting the boundless rat-men. The rat-people were concerned about this sudden rise. The light is a bit uncomfortable.
The charging posture paused.
Countless rat warriors stopped and subconsciously blocked the rising light with their hands. This action made the scene in front of them even more shocking. The closed eyes would always open again. , under the light of the bright light, the paused rat men, countless rat men, with various expressions, pairs of scarlet eyes, raised their heads, and all looked at the defenders on the city wall.
This is a frightening scene, and it is also short-lived. The Rat Man Supervisory Team has begun to move forward. The frightened avoidance of the Supervisory Team caused the dark tide to start surging again, and hit hard. On the towering city wall in front of you.
The roaring war equipment, the rat men climbing towards the city wall, the firing crossbow arrows, the falling rocks being pushed down, and the terrifying fireballs that kept falling.
This was just a tentative attack, but the rat war was particularly generous. All the rat people in this area rushed towards this huge city at his words. , turned into this dark tide.
From all directions and every angle, they attacked the huge and towering city in front of them without missing a trace.
The foundation of this city is indeed good, and the towering city wall is exceptionally strong. Even if the boulders thrown by the huge trebuchet are huge and heavy enough, they are still facing this towering city wall. It seems a bit underwhelming.
The huge falling rocks can only leave a shallow pit when hitting the towering city wall. Unless those huge rocks fall together and hit the same position, the city wall may be damaged. of looseness.
But once such a situation occurs, the military mages will immediately rush to the loose section of the city wall regardless of the danger. After a few spells, the loose area will be intact again.
The wizards of the Ghost Eye race are not good at those extremely destructive terrifying spells, but the spells in the direction of life are also quite difficult to deal with, such as repairing city walls, guiding arrows, boosting morale, lighting, etc. Gale spell, grease spell, smooth as new, armor repair, healing.
These messy spells cover too many aspects. Although their mages are often not all-powerful and are only good at one or two directions of spells, the number of mages who join the battlefield is too large.
These messy spells have caused great trouble to the rat-men's attack. Compared with the wizards of the Dark Eye tribe, the spells of the rat-man priests are just like a group of primitive people.
It’s just that it’s not easy for them to deal with this war.
The boulders thrown by the huge trebuchets did not cause much damage to the city wall, but the falling boulders were still a huge threat to the defenders on the city wall. Being hit by such a huge boulder, even those wearing high-quality enchantments The armored magic knights would all die on the spot, let alone the ordinary defenders.
What the rat men throw is far more than just these huge boulders. Those swollen rat men are the real threat. If those swollen rat men are allowed to fall on the city wall, the instantaneous explosion of pollution can be cleared instantly. In a large area, all contaminated creatures will turn into a wriggling mass of flesh and blood while wailing.
The military mages on the city wall began to shout at the fierce wind non-stop. The roaring boulders and swollen ratmen began to deflect with the combined force of these military mages. It was just a slight deviation, and the result was disastrous. same.
Many boulders and the swollen rat-men were smashed into the tide of rat-men that kept coming in front of the city wall. Facts have proved that the attack effect of these boulders and swollen rat-men on rat-men warriors is equally superb. Being hit by a boulder will not cause much pain, and it will just turn into rat cakes instantly, but if it is splashed by the swollen rat-men, it will cause a lot of pain. If the bleeding affects the flesh and blood, then the problem will be a bit big.
Wailing and running away, these rat warriors clearly didn't understand what it meant to be considerate of their companions. They instinctively headed towards the direction with the most rat warriors around them, selflessly bringing pollution to other rat warriors and struggling in the wailing.
In this crowded formation, the effect is simply overwhelming.
But this did not stop those huge trebuchets from throwing. These trebuchets themselves were also inferior consumables.
During another round of ejection, there was a harsh noise on a huge trebuchet. The big-clawed priest who controlled the huge trebuchet had visible panic on his face at this moment. It was obvious that he just wanted to escape again. But it was already too late. The huge trebuchet suddenly disintegrated and triggered a terrifying chain reaction.
Some piled up swollen ratmen were also detonated together. However, in the face of this situation, amidst the wails of the big-clawed priests, the order was still maintained, and soon the huge trebuchet was thrown in again. operation.
One after another, the siege ladders were set up on the city wall by the rat warriors.
The energy of the accompanying mages was dragged down by the falling boulders and swollen ratmen, making it no longer difficult for them to climb the city wall.
Avoid the people who were pushed down the city wall, avoid the constantly falling crossbow arrows, oil cans, and rolling logs, and still successfully climbed up the long ladder before it was cut off and pushed down by the defenders on it. The city wall is not an easy thing to do.
The only thing I could do after being pushed to the city wall by the Rat Man behind me was to climb up the long ladder towards the city wall. There might still be a possibility of survival. If I were under the city wall, If you pause, you can only welcome the various things that are falling from far away, pray that you can survive those indiscriminate attacks, and be careful that more and more rat people are gathering and trample you under your feet. .
Countless rat warriors climbed up the long ladders, and the fallen ladders were constantly being lifted up again. The experienced guys would hang the weapons in their hands on the tails behind them and put the weapons in their hands. The shield was raised high, and the excited guy who was inexperienced and set foot on the battlefield for the first time acted even more indifferently.
But whether you have experience or not, whether you can survive on this cruel battlefield is a question that is difficult to answer.
A single ratman is too small.
The defenders of Mountain Dew City quickly felt the pressure. In every direction and on every section of the city wall, there were ratmen climbing up. The ratmen had been forced to get used to this cruel war. They were already used to it. Facing death, these city guards who had not faced war for a long time were obviously not used to this situation.
The supplies on the city wall are still abundant. With the support of the accompanying mages, the terrifying boulders and the terrifying creations no longer fall from the sky.
But they still couldn't let go at all. These damn rat men, these damn rat men were constantly climbing, and they couldn't relax at all.
As long as he takes any step slower, these damn guys will rush up the city wall. He doesn't want to face these rat men, face these dangerous rat men.
He is just an ordinary guy. He also has a son and daughter waiting for him in the city.
Not far away, a ratman rushed up the city wall and killed a guard with a sharp scream. He knew him. As a guard in this city, they also had a few drinks in the tavern. , but now, it has turned into a corpse, lying cold on the ground.
The noble knights wandering on the city wall noticed something was wrong here, and with just one arrow step, the rat warrior who rushed up was cut in half.
He hurriedly picked up a heavy jar of fire oil, and subconsciously chose the most expensive item among these things. As long as he dropped the jar of oil and a torch, then under this section of the city wall, Everything will be ignited by flames in an instant.
The attack of the ratmen was too sudden. The humans who dared not step out of the city in the dark became very unaware of the situation. Also, the excessive concentration of ratmen made those areas too dangerous, and any abnormal movement would be ushered in. Skaven attack.
The Stargazer Pope greatly replenished the garrison on the city wall, and the accumulated supplies were inspected and replenished. At the same time, a large number of military mages were sent to the towering city wall, and the noble knights After being called up, even if the preparation is not sufficient and perfect, it should not be the case.
This was just a trial by Rat War, and just to deal with such a trial, they were so busy.
Obviously, the Stargazing Pope ignored an issue. He was indeed prepared, but these city guards who had been stationed on the city wall for a long time and regarded their position as a leisurely and decent job were obviously still Not ready.
Not prepared for this cruel war.
His expression became ferocious, his steps were hurried, and he threw the jar of fire oil in front of him. However, he met a rat warrior who had climbed up on him, and the jar hit the rat warrior who raised it above his head. The shield shattered in the collision, and the dark and sticky fire oil spilled out, soaking the body of the rat warrior. He was furious, and with a sharp hiss, the rat warrior grabbed the man in front of him who was standing in front of the city wall. Damn guy.
Facing these terrifying rat men, fear and confusion completely filled the heart of the guard. Regardless of what he had just thrown, he pulled out the torch placed on the wall next to him, and suddenly After hitting the rat man in front of him, terrifying flames instantly rose.
The firelight illuminated the face of this ordinary guard, an ordinary middle-aged man with stubble on his face, with a frightened expression on his face.
I felt a bit of excitement in the flames.
But he forgot one thing. He himself seemed to be in the same range affected by the flames.
Two balls of flame fell from the city wall.
The screams were drowned by the surging black tide.
The Ratmen's attack continues.
