Chapter 282, The luxurious battlefield
The lives of the rat people on the main continent have undergone earth-shaking changes during this period.
The goods of the Skaven Empire have filled the lives of these guys who have been active in the fringes for a long time.
Contributions from the visiting Skaven caravan.
Well, it might be human things. The fall of two human provinces and the plunder of one human province brought a large number of human creations to these rat caravans.
It can be used purely as waste, or it can be sold as raw materials. In short, you can buy these messy goods in the rat caravan. These things that are regarded as waste by the rat caravan, all kinds of pots and pans, Exquisite utensils, supple clothing, these things that are usually extremely precious and rare have become the favorites of these rat people in the main continent, especially when the price is particularly cheap.
It's just not a wise decision.
Perhaps various weapons, resources, or the blood mushrooms themselves are what they need more now.
Of course, buying goods requires blood mushrooms, which come from the preparation of Rat War and the production of the blood pool. The preparation of Rat War accounts for the majority.
Every once in a while, a large batch of blood mushrooms will arrive along with those indifferent guys.
This is a danger sign.
Zhu Zhan is not a stingy guy, but when he is generous to you, you really need to think about what that guy needs you to do.
However, these rat people on the main continent don't know this. They have been a little too happy recently, indulging in the sweet happiness brought by blood mushrooms.
What is supposed to come will always come.
The rotten situation in Lianyan Province is coming to an end and is about to be ended.
The royal knights swept the land vigorously, and the rat warlords fled in embarrassment with their own armies. Most of the defeated rat warlords were recalled by the rat war and filled into the stretching position. inside.
Defense is an order that is easy to execute. These defeated rat warlords are very conscientious and dedicated. This is the price of defeat. Losers are not qualified to look forward to more.
The order given to them by Rat War is very simple, defend the area they are responsible for, or die.
This is a very simple and easy to understand command.
Can inspire the fullest fighting spirit.
The royal knights are ready to move forward. They don't need to advance for long. They just pass through the barren mountains at the junction of the provinces in front of them, and then they can reach a very critical position.
Arrived at the junction of the Golden Province, the Lianyan Province, the Plateau, and the Unnamed Province, it is stuck in the throat of the Eastern Expeditionary Force.
If they really did it, this would be a very dangerous situation.
Rat Zhan has been unable to use his hands recently, but the scale of this royal knight is simply not that large.
If this is an army of staggering size, even if it is not a knight, but an ordinary farmer, stuck in this position, then Rat War will definitely be restless.
But the number of knights is still too thin.
The figures of the royal knights have not yet appeared in the barren mountains at the junction of the provinces, and the priests of the Big Claw set off earlier.
Accompanied by the endless slave rats.
These guys will not be directly thrown into battle, because they really have no fighting power, but every battle is inseparable from them.
Standard frontline model worker.
Tunnels, underground tunnels, hiding chambers, as well as various fortresses and outposts are being constructed at an extremely fast speed.
Only waiting for supplies, no, it shouldn’t be described like this, it should be said, just waiting for brave warriors to settle here.
When the rat people on the main continent noticed something was wrong, it was already a bit late.
These guys are really not very good soldiers, and even their existence as consumables is a bit reluctant.
After all, the tunnels and fortresses built by the Big Claw priests are still very powerful.
At the same time, another group of equally professional guys also arrived on the battlefield.
They were a group of guys with cold faces and a slightly stunned look, but they were soon dubbed devils.
Whether it is on the front line of war or behind the battlefield, death is so common.
The war front line was trampled, penetrated, and cut off.
The rear of the battlefield was penetrated, hoisted, and hoisted high.
Countless rat men were hung high, swaying with the wind.
The world is dark, and maybe low-light vision is not a good thing sometimes. At least the figures of the guys who are hung up high are so clear, and death is intuitively displayed in front of you. .
The devil-like guy cannot tolerate any retreat.
The body could not help but tremble. Compared with the rat people in the main continent, who grew up in the twisted kingdom, they were simpler.
Actually, such a display does not involve the participation of the temple guards. The techniques of these guys still need to be more sophisticated.
Breaking open the chest and cutting off the limbs, death will not come for a long time, but the mourning can be endless. This kind of picture is undoubtedly more impactful and artistic.
Although this kind of art is undoubtedly a bit ahead of our time for our compatriots on this continent.
Just being like this is enough.
At the beginning of the war, the ratmen on the main continent behaved very badly. They exchanged most of the blood mushrooms for some flashy things.
On the battlefield, in the tunnels, a large number of rat people wearing tight silk robes and dazzling gold and silver ornaments trembled and fought with the golden knights who broke in front of them.
I have to say that the costumes of these guys are quite luxurious, but they are a bit sloppy.
Gold, silver, jewelry, complicated and exquisite patterns, priceless silk, these things are scattered all over the battlefield with the death of a rat man. If a lighting spell is fired into the sky at this time, So various objects that can shine with brilliance may dazzle people's eyes and make them unable to open their eyes.
These are the good things that the rat people took out from the treasure houses of the nobles.
But at this moment, it has no other effect except dazzling.
The rat people on the main continent are disappearing rapidly, like the long candle that keeps disappearing as the wax oil slips and the firelight flickers.
They worked, and the royal knights were successfully held back.
………….
Underground Rat City, in that dark abyss.
The gray stone experiment has made progress.
This faint blue skeleton can be used as an energy source. The woolly rat's idea is not wrong.
The power buried in the totems of those heretical gods does have a large part of the universal formula, which guides the magic that diffuses in the world.
It’s just that what inspired these formulas was the power of various heretical gods, or the power of faith.
And these blue bones can replace the power of faith.
A simple pattern painted on a leather scroll was carved on the stone wall. A small section of the bone was taken from the skeleton in his hand and embedded in the center of the simple pattern. There was a reaction, a hazy cyan glow. Appearing at the bottom of this deep, lightless abyss.
A gust of wind appeared and blew on Gray Stone's face.
At this moment, even this stupid guy's face showed a bit of excitement. Obviously, you don't just have to become a rat priest to be able to use such power, and you don't just have to become a rat priest to fulfill that commission.
Joy appears on the face.
Appeared on the face of this stupid guy.
Although it is a bit wasteful, these pure soul powers can indeed be used as a kind of energy, and can seamlessly connect many things, including the power of faith, magic system, and even more.
It is not surprising that all spiritually driven systems use these soul powers, which are extremely high-end powers.
What's more, the soul power contained in this blue skeleton is extremely pure.
But what is certain is that most systems are not so crude in their use of soul power.
If these dark blue bones are used for the wizards of the Youyan human race, then these precious treasures will probably be used directly to increase the upper limit of mental power, which is enough to make any wizard crazy.
It’s not that it’s impossible to use it as energy, it just feels like primitive people lighting nuclear-powered torches.
You find a group of primitives in a cave who share their antimatter energy with you and use it to light a torch.
That’s probably how it feels.
A waste of natural resources.
However, Gray Stone had no feeling about his waste, with a joyful expression on his face.
The joy did not last long, there were some weird sounds around.
The moment the sound appeared, Gray Stone reacted. The leather roll unfolded in front of him was immediately put away and put into his arms. The short spear on his back was taken off and held in his hand.
His face was full of alertness, and he was ready for the battle.
It is not safe in this abyss. In fact, this place is one of the most dangerous areas in the underground rat city. Another dangerous place with the same name is the initial temple of the great god.
Although these statements are for ordinary rat people, they are enough to explain something.
Not to mention the dangerous aberrations that haunt the abyss, just the hungry ones who also feed on the flesh and blood land in the abyss are dangerous enough.
These hungry guys are reduced to the point of gnawing on these distorted flesh and blood, and they will never refuse to try to gnaw on fresh flesh and blood.
In fact, during this period of time, Gray Stone has fought these corpse eaters for several rounds.
Long-term gnawing on similar flesh and blood seems to have brought some strange changes to these guys. They are obviously skinny and skinny, as if there is only a layer of skin sticking to the bones, but both their strength and defense are unexpected. powerful.
The layer of dry flesh became as tough as tanned leather, and could even withstand the slashing of a sharp blade.
In the dark corners of the rat city, some strange things have begun to breed.
Gray Stone didn't want to look like these monsters, but there was no big change in what he and they were doing. They were all eating on this mountain of flesh piled with countless corpses.
But thankfully, at least, at least Gray Stone did not start to change towards these guys.
The guys that emerged from the darkness this time were not the rat-man corpse eaters that Gray Stone had encountered before, but some more dangerous guys, those twisted and aberrated creations.
Greystone is not sure of surviving.
There were many distorted creations appearing in front of him, all kinds of strange images.
A tall, thin rat man with exposed flesh and pointed ears.
The ratman was so over-inflated that he couldn't even support himself and collapsed and crawled on the ground.
A rat man with messy black scales and vertical pupils.
All kinds of weird guys.
Grey Stone held the leather scroll in his arms tighter.
However, these various deformed rat-men did not attack him, but stood quietly on the spot.
A guy walked out slowly.
A rat-man with a stooped waist walked out slowly.
When he appeared, these ferocious rat-man aberrations trembled uniformly, and the grievance could be clearly felt.
The rat man didn't look at Gray Stone, and moved quickly. Gray Stone's body tensed up at this moment, trying to thrust out the spear in his hand.
But until the rickety rat man walked up to him and stood in front of the pattern that was constantly sending out the breeze, he still didn't make any move to attack.
Unable to make an attack, the body instinctively resists this action.
He trembled unconsciously, and an inexplicable premonition appeared in his heart. If he launched an attack, he would die, he would definitely die.
The long-clawed fingers gently brushed the simple pattern engraved on the stone wall, but it made a harsh sound.
Because of the metal glove engraved with faint blue patterns.
There was deep curiosity in his eyes, not only for this pattern, but also for the faint blue bones, or for the breeze that appeared out of thin air after such a simple combination.
These are all things that make Longpaw curious.
While thinking, I used a little more force. The metal glove sank into the stone wall in front of me, destroying a section of the pattern that made up this simple pattern. In an instant, this wonderful reaction was interrupted, and the breeze stopped. .
Thinking was interrupted.
Picked off the piece of faint blue bone embedded in the center of the pattern. The faint blue reminded him of the divine object given by the gods.
Obviously, this was something he had not come into contact with before, a magical thing, and he had a hunch that this magical thing should be able to help him.
It is really unimaginable that such a magical thing has been buried beside me without being noticed.
Raising his head, Long Claw glanced at the gray stone holding the short spear tightly beside him.
Greystone still did not put down the short spear in his hand. Faced with the instinctive trembling caused by the insurmountable gap, he was still able to raise the weapon, which was already more than most of the rat men.
The turning point of fate has arrived.
Playing with the faint blue bones in his hands, his long claws were not ready to kill Gray Stone.
To be honest, Long Claw doesn’t particularly like Gray Stone. Perhaps because of the courage he showed, Long Claw doesn’t particularly like brave people.
But he also has to admit that his experiments are inseparable from brave people. At least these guys who can grit their teeth and persevere in cruel experiments are more able to accept the pain caused by deformation than ordinary ratmen. .
can bring success to his experiments.
This guy has some uses.
It might also be helpful to him.
Long Claw gave Gray Stone such an evaluation.
