Chapter 312, The heroes of the old era
Come from the greed of these big-claw priests.
After all, for them, even if the loss is higher, with such a generous margin, this transaction is still profitable.
As for the dead young ratmen, this has never been a very important issue.
………….
Shu Zhan and Sheng Qi formally met. In the form of a summons, Shu Zhan summoned Sheng Qi.
There is no clear superior-subordinate relationship between the two. After all, although Shu Zhan is the commander-in-chief, Sheng Qi is indeed not under his jurisdiction to some extent.
Sheng Qi is a rat priest, which is a very important point, although he is only a trainee.
The Skaven Priests and Skaven Warlords are parallel parties to some extent.
Although this guy Sheng Qi has not made much progress on the road of rat priest during this period of time, which is probably related to his dirty work with those guys, but most of it should still fall. Sheng Qi's talent for divine magic is really not strong.
After all, the group of senior rat priests who had a bad relationship with him had probably been sent to heaven in the tragic war on the vast grassland, and Sheng Qi still only knew the madness technique.
Maybe Sheng Qi needs to think about whether he is pious or not.
The only thing that holds Shu Zhan’s weight down is his identity as a Rat Man Councilor. However, at this time, after overcoming many obstacles to get here, Shu Zhan has no intention of emphasizing his identity as a rat man Councilor.
But he still chose such a method, summoning.
It seems that he is condescending and superior, but this is indeed him, an arrogant guy.
When this news was delivered to Sheng Qi through the Ratmen Chamber of Commerce, Sheng Qi's expression was very complicated, with a little irritation, some uneasiness and fear.
Obviously, Shu Zhan still remembers Liang Zi from that long time ago, and Sheng Qi, who is the weaker party, will not forget it even more.
Wandering on the battleship with some anxiety.
Of course he will not forget it. After all, when he was just a young rat man, the name and achievements of rat war had already begun to spread throughout the entire rat man empire. No, at that time, he could only Call it the Skaven Kingdom.
If he had a choice, he would never want to provoke a rat war, but, just, if he had any hesitation in front of the high priest overlooking everything in the deserted mountains, then now Everything will not have anything to do with yourself.
But to really face the rat war, face the famous rat commander.
Sheng Qi was inevitably a little flustered.
This uneasiness did not last long, and gradually, Sheng Qi calmed down.
He decided to go to the appointment, but not in the name of being summoned. He also received divine enlightenment, which was also a favor of the gods. He had nothing to do with rat fighting, and more importantly, he now had There are no longer any cards.
Looking at the battleship at his feet and feeling the deterrent power brought by the lightning cannon, Sheng Qi felt a sense of security.
He is now the overlord of this sea area.
Sheng Qi made a decision.
It was at this time that a rat-man knight beside him rolled his eyes. Now Sheng Qi’s uneasiness was not difficult to observe, which made him think. As the boss’s most loyal subordinate , he felt it was time for him to show off.
Power can indeed change a lot of things, at least at this time when the senior priests of the main war faction rushed to the streets collectively, Sheng Qi broke into the sea and defeated the island residents.
These charging knights also want to make progress.
As Sheng Qi has more chips in his hands, he has become more important.
The charging knight who wanted to flatter himself slapped his chest.
"Boss, I am loyal. If it comes to me, I will never retreat!"
The Ratman Assault Knight said this to Sheng Qi righteously.
Showing loyalty is a good thing, but what the Running Knight didn't notice was the weird look in Sheng Qi's eyes at this time.
Sheng Qi smiled, looked at the loyal Knight in front of him, and looked at him a few more times.
Running Knight became excited. Obviously, he felt that he was going to be noticed by the boss.
Not long after.
The entire Skaven Western Fleet left the hurricane island that had just been captured.
Gathered in front of a cliff by the sea. During this period, the Western Fleet received a lot of reinforcements. However, the previous naval battle was too fierce and the scale did not recover at once. A second-generation battleship serves as the flagship, plus twenty-two bathtub battleships, which constitute the entire Western fleet.
Of course, there is another reason for not fully recovering.
In front of the cliff, a large number of bathtub battleships floated up and down. If you count them carefully, the number is even much greater than what you have here. Although there are no second-generation battleships among them, although most of these bathtub battleships are for improving The carrying capacity has no weapons installed at all and poses no threat to the Western fleet.
But Sheng Qi’s expression suddenly turned ugly. .
Obviously, a large part of the production capacity does not seem to flow to him. Well, this may not be anything, but these damn rat priests and their caravans enjoy the convenience they bring, Don't talk about giving yourself any benefits, or even inform yourself.
If he hadn't been fighting with those damn human fleets, how could these damn guys dare to sail on this waterway with such arrogance, and even dare to dismantle the weapons on the battleships.
Damn guys, these damn rat priests, indeed, these damn rat priests are nothing.
Sheng Qi was already yelling in his heart.
What was shown was the extremely ugly expression. It was obvious that these rat priests did not care about Sheng Qi, the so-called new ocean overlord.
Although it was the rat lords who did this, it was no problem for Sheng Qi. After all, the rat lords were indeed appointed by senior rat priests.
However, Sheng Qi still ignored one issue. While he was viciously cursing those rat-man priests, he seemed to be a rat-man priest as well.
And what made his face look so ugly was not only the rat caravans, but also the rat lightning cannons piled up on the cliff bank, and the rat war that didn't even show up.
This group of damn rat priests obviously chose to vote with their feet without hesitation in the decision to sell lightning cannons to rat war. For them, strengthening rat war's power is in their interests. .
After all, the more powerful the Rat War is, the more gains it can bring them. As for the conflict between the two sides, the hatred is still there, but the current situation is not the same as before. They are not They were afraid of what the Rat War would do to them, so if they had the ability, they would bring the army over, which would bring them and the rat city they controlled with them.
It’s just that this is a hardship. I want to rely on the lightning cannons mounted on the second-generation battleships for long-range deterrence. But now I can see with a clear eye that the lightning cannons on the shore are probably worse than my own battleships. There are many more.
What to do?
Moreover, Rat Zhan was too arrogant and didn't even want to appear in front of him.
Undisguised humiliation. Sheng Qi admitted that he was a little afraid of the rat war, especially after the two sides met alone after far away from the barren mountains.
But this damn guy, this damn guy doesn’t take himself too seriously.
Sheng Qi, who was about to explode with anger, stared at the cliff in the distance with hazy eyes. He could vaguely see the continuous camps on the cliff. That was just the scale of the camp revealed by the Eastern Expeditionary Force. corner of.
If you fight hard, you won't be able to beat him, but this matter won't end so easily.
Perhaps Sheng Qi can now understand why the grudge between Rat Zhan and the rat priests can persist so tenaciously.
If Mouse Zhan wasn’t really good at fighting, this guy would have been beaten to death by someone who doesn’t know when.
Of course, new problems have also emerged now. Sheng Qi not only cannot deal with the rat war, but also cannot deal with the rat priests.
A new grudge is born.
The angry Sheng Qi did not stay here too long, and the Western fleet turned and left.
Of course, not all of them left. A small boat was lowered, with a confused Ratman Knight sitting on the small boat blankly.
He's the guy who flatters you to show your loyalty.
Sheng Qi was not polite at all, and he was not prepared to be polite to him at all when he got him.
Just..., let him kill Rat Zhan! Really?
The Skaven Knight on the boat fell into deep confusion at this moment.
Soon, he reacted, used all his energy, and began to paddle this small boat towards the retreating Western fleet.
Fake! It's all fake!
“Wait for me, boss, wait for me!”
The rat-man running knight let out a desperate cry on the sea.
A strange scene appeared.
A huge and strange fleet rowed across the sea, with a small boat chasing behind it.
Mouse Zhan finally revealed his traces and appeared on the top of the cliff, watching the Western fleet retreating in the distance, the expression on his face was full of contempt.
After seeing this unimaginably vast brackish river, Shu Zhan changed his mind. His idea of hanging Sheng Qi was not given up, but he could not see it in this river. Chasing Shengqi on the nearby brackish river has become an impossible task.
Unless this guy is stupid enough to step ashore and come in front of him.
But obviously, this guy is not that stupid.
And there are things that he needs to pay more attention to recently.
I can’t free my hands at the moment.
Just today, some of the thrown rat men returned to this camp, bringing with them the movements of the huge human army.
In fact, the best thing to do at this time is to hold on to Sheng Qi, and almost ignore him.
After all, a large-scale battle is about to begin, and Shengqi is fully capable of cutting off sea routes.
At this time, it is a more correct idea to stabilize Sheng Qi. At the same time, you can also try to win over Sheng Qi. After all, Sheng Qi’s apparent backer, that despicable guy with long claws, is already dead.
There is no need to think more about the cause of death. It is almost certain that it must be related to that old guy.
Shu Zhan’s decision-making in the overall situation of the Skaven Kingdom has always been poor, but his intuition is quite sharp.
This can be seen from the fact that before Longclaw died, he began to plan to break through the blockade and advance decisively into the depths of the human empire.
That old guy is going to die.
Thinking of this, Mouse Zhan couldn't suppress the ferocious smile that unconsciously rose at the corner of his mouth.
And not only the old guy is going to die, but also the rat priests who have been facing off against the rat war are now in a state of despair. It seems that there is no opponent for him in the rat empire, except for those groups. Temple Guard.
This is why he was so determined to break through the human blockade and come here.
He was worried about the group of temple guards, especially after noticing that more and more temple guards began to gather towards the two dark fortresses.
When he came here, he felt that many things suddenly became clear to him.
Indeed, those rat lords cannot interfere with Rat War at all. As long as Rat War defeats the human coalition and stabilizes this area, he will be as stable as a mountain.
Not to mention the conflict between the rat lords and the white rats, even if these cowards finally choose to defect, he can still get food and weapons from the human army.
How could a white mouse control himself here even if his hands and eyes could reach the sky?
Just wait.
Wait for that old guy to die.
As for Sheng Qi, Sheng Qi was not even regarded as a thing by Shu Zhan, especially after watching Sheng Qi leave in despair.
Zhan Zhan’s sense of smell has always been poor in this regard.
After leaving the war, he did not understand many things particularly well.
Especially after the Skaven Kingdom transformed into an empire, the operating logic became increasingly complex and intertwined.
He is still the hero of the old days.
What Rat Zhan didn’t understand was that even after he came here, he might still be included in the Rat Empire, especially after he took the initiative to find the group of Rat Priests. After all, the logistics, supplies, and recruitment of soldiers for the Eastern Expeditionary Force were all taken over by the rat lords and rat councils a long time ago.
And the warrior in his hand is no longer a guy who can rush forward with a wooden spear and a wooden shield.
Rough chainmail, stamped metal spears, each war machine pushed onto the battlefield, the enhanced version of the terrifying lightning cannon made by the Big Claw Priests, the endless slave rat engineering team, the giant Rats, and most importantly, blood mushrooms.
The entire meritorious service system of the Eastern Expeditionary Force has already turned into a bottomless pit of crazy burning blood mushrooms after Rat Warfare added layers of layers. Rat Warfare is not unaware of all this, but the resources consumed are almost It was all the responsibility of the Rat Council, and what he didn't realize was that he just pulled this line up again and again.
Of all of these, how can any of them be separated from the desolate mountains and that huge, twisted and pathological country?
And even if he didn't mention this, the lucky guy who was ignored and laughed at by him was going to give him a hard blow recently.
