Chapter 299, Terror Lightning Cannon
The pace of the rat war was as before, caught off guard, and there was no one in this area who could stop him.
Although some problems have already become troublesome.
The recruitment of soldiers has become a problem. The attrition in the battle, well, this aspect is not a big deal. The Rat War did not choose the tricky human city to fight to death. The Eastern Expeditionary Force’s current siege capability is also not enough.
Losing the retreat does not have any impact on the Eastern Expeditionary Force. Various equipment that was never lacking in the past are now completely unreplenished. The precious lightning gun prototype was also purchased not long ago. Because of the lack of special ammunition, the blue bones were exhausted and had to be abandoned in the wilderness.
The rat priests are very reluctant to part with this lightning cannon. This behavior is more like those colleagues they look down upon, the big claw priests. In fact, the rat priests seem to like this ferocious and dangerous big toy.
It’s just that the series of terrifying trebuchets that the Big Claw Priests have created before are too difficult to describe.
Even Rat War, after witnessing the terrifying scene of the disintegration of the trebuchet, unconsciously stayed away from these exaggerated things.
Simply, the excavation of the blue bones seems to have given birth to a second war series in the Rat Man Empire besides the horror series. At least judging from the performance of the prototype weapons, these soul weapons are not that dangerous. .
There is a question. After Long Claw sadly retired, what group of guys were left to explore and manufacture the Blue Skeleton and Lightning Cannon?
It seems, it seems that it is still the Great Claw Priest, well, there is nothing to look forward to.
The Dangerous Machinery Operation Guide seems to be updated, but these are things that the Skaven Army will have to consider in the future.
At present, the most important issue for the Eastern Expeditionary Force is the recruitment of personnel.
We lost the young ratmen who were filling the army from behind.
This is a question that must be thought about.
For the Skaven army, attrition does not necessarily occur in wars and battles. In fact, if nothing is done, the attrition of the army will also naturally occur, especially when the total number of Skaven in the army exceeds a certain number. .
This is a very normal situation. Fighting, murder, small-scale chaos, these things will happen and break out for various reasons.
Sometimes the reason for a fight may even be so ridiculous that it is just a piece of bark or a worm.
You should not expect that these two things, gentleness and lawfulness, will exist in the minds of the rat people, even though Rat War has greatly strengthened its control over the army in its hands by distributing power.
But these things are still happening endlessly. It cannot be said to be ordinary, it can only be said to be commonplace.
Even the internal fighting is gradually escalating.
In the past, the rat men in the army mostly fought with their opponents in the form of small groups. But now, these small groups have been upgraded, and the rat men teams with completed structures and greater combat effectiveness have joined the battlefield.
The rat people will spontaneously decide who is the strongest.
The swarms of Skaven are simply the best embodiment of the word chaos.
Although this chaos will not spread upward layer by layer.
Rat warriors fight against rat warriors, rat captains fight against rat captains, rat warlords fight against rat warlords.
Perhaps it is reflected in the cowardly character of the rat men. These guys are always extremely cruel to guys of the same class as themselves, but they are also particularly submissive to the strong.
In short, the rat men of the Eastern Expeditionary Force are being consumed every moment, and the running rat war seems to have no intention of stopping for the time being.
This problem is not that serious yet.
And Rat War is not prepared to find a solution to this problem at all.
He will not, and has no intention at all, suppress the non-combat losses of the army in his hands. For a big shot like him, this is a common thing and a normal thing.
All you need to do is rush to the hinterland of the human empire, plunder, and eat Sheng Qi to the army and the sea road he built, and these despicable rat people who are not worth mentioning will continue to A steady stream of them came into my hands.
Yes, that’s what Rat Zhan thinks.
So his solution to the problem that has emerged is not to solve it.
The huge tide of rat men ran in the darkness, roaring through the hinterland of the human empire.
Shu Zhan undoubtedly has rich experience in mobile warfare. As early as the war in which he started his career, he dared to lead his troops to run wildly in the dangerous and unfamiliar swamp, although he ended up bumping heads in the old Qicheng City. His blood was so broken that even now he still chants the name of the red lizard man from time to time.
But the problem is not big. Anyway, the old city of Qicheng has been demolished into ruins by the rat war. Only the lonely circle of city walls is left standing. The city established in the revelation of the gods is now a piece of ruins. In the ruins, only the revelation of the gods remained.
What's more, this time, during the wild run in the Youyan human empire, he didn't need to bite off the hard problems, he only needed to plunder unscrupulously.
Destruction, fire, blood, killing, twisted rituals, and the hairless rat standing on the ruins laughing maniacally.
………….
While Rat Zhan and Youyan were running wildly through the human empire, the situation in front of the Black Fortress was not so good.
In fact, the judgment of the commander of the noble coalition, the rather experienced and steady general, was not wrong.
The rat people are still gathering strength here. Countless rat warriors and various war equipment are piled up behind the black fortress, forming a huge black area.
If the direction of the Black Fortress closer to the main continent had not been firmly blocked by the coalition of nobles, I am afraid that another Eastern Expeditionary Force would have invaded the main continent and marched towards the Golden Province.
This dangerous environment eventually became an obstacle to the rat people.
In fact, it is also a place where the ocean buffet is opened. The rat people are already thinking of ways to expand the road, but there is no particularly big result. The hungry sea monsters discovered this strait, maybe it is the same as the rat people ignored it not long ago. The attempt to carve a way out of the blockade of the noble coalition is related.
It was difficult to form a formation. Even if the rat people kept rushing out of the fortress, they were only increasing the number of corpses piled up outside the fortress.
The temple guards did not participate in this battle. They were the guardians of the temple, not warriors who would be actively thrown into the war.
Defending the glory of the gods is the most important thing. Well, it also has something to do with the fact that the leader of the temple guards has no intention of intervening in the war at this time.
Now is a very special period, even they must be careful.
Reorganizing the army and serving as the spearhead to defeat these noble coalition forces entrenched outside the fortress is not a difficult thing to do, or even a very difficult thing.
The noble coalition forces have not yet completely established a foothold, and a large amount of materials are being continuously transported here. The intention is very obvious, to build a fortress and stabilize the defense line.
It just takes time to do all this. Even though the military mages are indeed very useful, these guys are high-end talents after all, and you can't use them like cattle and horses.
To a certain extent, slave rats may not be easy to use. After all, slave rats can really be used endlessly in major projects.
Excellent supplies.
For example, at this time, countless slave rats were carrying out something that happened on this strait not long ago. Countless blast furnaces puffed out black smoke, and a huge structure was built, using the same technology as the Skaven Port, gears, high prices, pipes, and flowing red molten steel.
Only here, the smelted molten steel is not used to pour those unreliable warships, but is poured into the sea continuously.
The upgrade of technology has made this scene even more intense. At least in this area, with the help of molten iron being continuously thrown into the sea, the sea seems to be completely boiled and constantly churning.
Logically speaking, such a harsh environment should not cause too much interference, but how to put it, the desire of those crazy hungry sea monsters for the buffet cannot be underestimated.
Since that failed attack, countless rat-man corpses were thrown into the sea by the noble coalition, and those sea monsters never left.
The slave rats were frightened, but they did not dare to step back under the constant whipping.
From time to time, the terrifying huge tentacles will rise from the sea, dragging the unlucky slave rats into the depths of the sea.
In fact, it is more than that. From time to time, you will find the corpses of slave rats in the molten steel that has not been completely cooled.
This is not a coincidence, nor is it that the rolling sea spontaneously brings the bodies of these unlucky people to these uncooled molten steel.
It can only be said that in the midst of great material abundance, even sea monsters have begun to try barbecue.
Perhaps such a place will eventually breed some extremely terrifying sea monsters.
The temple guards were indifferent to all this, standing on the fortress like statues.
Indeed, they are the best guards, the best guards of the gods, but apart from this, they are nothing. They do not discriminate against ordinary rat people, those humble guys are just indifferent, after all These humble creatures are neither holy nor representative of the gods.
This is a gentle attitude that is extremely rare among the noble groups in the Rat Man Empire.
Shepherds and sheep are for other races, churches and believers of other gods. They are not applicable to the rat priests and temple guards in the rat man empire. There are simply too many rat men, so many that they are not worthy of being treated. Pay attention to.
And now is a very special time, even the temple guards need to remember something.
Don’t go beyond, don’t go beyond.
With the indifference of the temple guards, the Black Fortress naturally fell into a stalemate.
But things may change.
In the underground rat city, the successor to Long Claw has appeared. Fortunately, the priests of Big Claw are not completely the successors of the soul weapon. In fact, this series of orthodox successors is an unknown one. guy.
He is a guy who rarely appears in the barren mountains.
An unexpected guy, can you imagine, a dull, flawed, and not very smart rat-man? Such a rat-man actually became the successor of Long Claws , I'm afraid Longclaw himself won't accept this, but even if he dies, he can't object to it.
The Priests of the Great Claw inherited the path of distorted flesh and blood.
The Skaven Priests gained nothing of Longclaw's legacy.
But something unexpected happened.
The Soul Weapon route has been under scrutiny.
Of course, the rat priests are not very satisfied with this, but at this sensitive time point, these guys are obviously not so disrespectful.
It was the Big Claw Priests who did it. Well, it was an unexpected and reasonable situation. These guys really love their horror series deeply.
After entering the deep abyss, a group of Great Claw priests resolutely chose to steal and imitate.
In short, before the stupid rat-man made any move, a batch of lightning cannons had already entered the final stage of production.
In terms of industrial capabilities, no one is more professional and extremely efficient than this group of Big Claw Priests.
It’s just that this is not a good thing, this is not a good thing.
You can believe in many things, but don’t believe in the creations created by the priests of the Big Claw. These guys have completely bent the navigation technology of the Skaven Empire. This soul weapon can obviously be restored. Get on track.
But, but, it’s too late to say anything now.
You have to believe in the industrial capacity created by the priests of the Great Claw.
A large number of lightning cannons have entered the final stage of debugging. Of course, every weapon produced by the Big Claw Priests will be debugged. After firing a cannon, as long as it does not explode, disintegrate, and shoot the gears, Everything else is minor issues and all are quality products.
By the way, the Great Claw priests also injected souls into these lightning cannons, making them bigger, bigger, bigger.
The terrifying lightning cannon has made its grand appearance.
Of course, it is unknown how spectacular the explosion of this new big toy will be.
No! Maybe you can know.
Desolate mountains, surface industrial zone.
The place where the weapons were tested is not far from this busy industrial area. Today is the time for the first batch of terrorist lightning cannons to be debugged.
A horrific explosion occurred.
The shock wave swept through the entire rat industrial area. A large number of towering furnaces near the experimental site collapsed in this horrific explosion. The sound of the explosion even spread throughout the entire underground rat city.
I wonder if White Rat will regret opening this hole to these big-clawed priests.
But from that day on, the weapon testing site of the Big Claw priests was moved outside the barren mountains.
However, the Big Claw priests are indeed professional. At least the damage caused and the collapsed furnace were repaired in a very short time.
These guys are professional in industry and production capacity. As for weapons, it is difficult to evaluate.
However, they are indeed full of fighting spirit, and the subsequent terrifying lightning cannon was successfully rolled off the production line.
Although I don’t know how many ratmen will be sent to heaven by this thing in the end.
But in short, the terrifying lightning cannon! Make your grand entrance!
