Chapter 350, Scavenger Flag
Outside the blood-stained fortress.
Qi was giving his own speech in the trenches, raising his flag high, and there were a large number of rat men with ignorant eyes in front of them.
During this period, Qi's situation was not good. The temple guards were not so mean as to deprive Qi of his qualifications to participate in this war, but the supplies sent to him were indeed increasing day by day. reduced.
In order to maintain the strength of his army in this cruel war, he had to do some less than honorable things.
Recruit the fleeing rat warriors, collect weapons and equipment scattered on the battlefield, and collect the corpses of dead rat warriors in exchange for blood mushrooms.
Let Qi get the title of a scavenger, but there is no other way. Doing these things is an extremely helpless choice.
If he doesn't recruit and gather the fleeing rat warriors, the size of his army will be difficult to maintain. If he doesn't collect the weapons and equipment scattered on the battlefield, he will have no new equipment to distribute.
Although the big figures in the Skaven Council are generous, they only distribute equipment once to each Skaven warrior who sets out on the battlefield for the first time.
In the follow-up, it is still up to the rat warlords who lead the army to find their own solutions. At this time, the support of the rear forces is very crucial.
But the flag now clearly lacks support from the rear.
As a last resort, he collected some useful things like a scavenger on the battlefield.
The speech is over.
The rat warrior in his hand completed another round of corpses.
There is a caravan of ratmen who will buy these corpses, but only if they collect enough of them. Qi has been doing this to exchange them for some blood mushrooms and buy some cave mushrooms.
This war did not go so smoothly, or not as expected, and there was not enough loot. Although this was just the beginning, for the rat caravans who were traveling back and forth, they could not go back empty-handed.
Everything you can buy is brought back with you.
With no other alternative, they even began to purchase large amounts of various ores produced in this area.
An extremely large mineral vein exists not far behind the twin fortresses.
In such a situation, the piles of corpses of rat warriors on the battlefield can naturally exist as a commodity.
It should not be used for sacrifices, but it can be used as fertilizer, processed and used as nutritious food for use in the breeding room, or you can try to peel off the skin and nitrate it. These are all possible.
After all, after the war started, various measures began to be put into operation, but now that there are no heretics in the account, naturally these measures cannot be idle.
Dead ratmen are not worth much blood mushrooms, even after various treatments.
But if it is idle, it is still idle. Try to deal with it.
Nodding and bowing, Qi sent a pile of rat-man corpses to a big-clawed priest.
Personally speaking, as a rat warlord, Flag is superior to the big-clawed priest, but the actual situation still depends on the actual situation.
During this period, Qi accumulated a lot of dried cave mushrooms by picking up corpses.
The situation of the war is about to change.
This can be seen from the increasing number of war equipment being sent here.
A huge steel fortress has been assembled outside the Twin Fortresses.
Even though they are some distance away, as long as they raise their heads, they can clearly see the dark fortress that is gradually taking shape.
In order to build this fortress, an additional tall tower was built first. Each large and small gear was tied to a metal cable and slowly pulled up by the slave rats. , landed in the metal fortress.
The gears, large and small, are densely packed and interlocking with each other, making people feel vaguely dizzy just looking at them.
This is something specially prepared to capture that human fortress.
The stagnation of the war made both sides supporting this surprise war feel dissatisfied and pushed forward urgently.
However, these have nothing to do with Qi for the time being, even though he is one of the three rat warlords who presided over this war.
But he is just a pitiful guy picking up trash on the battlefield.
Qi originally thought so.
Until during a meeting, the newly succeeded private soldier leader and the war priest set their sights on him.
No one can survive alone, especially when your strength is not strong enough.
Qi and his army were pushed to the front line, and the next attack would be led by Qi. Normally, Qi wouldn't be able to do this. As a leader, this is also a merit.
Those two guys have been sparing no effort in greedily grabbing any bit of achievement.
Trouble is coming, but Qi cannot shirk it.
There is no escaping in this holy war. Many rat guys and big shots are watching this war at this time. The holy war must move forward, and it can only move forward.
After the death of the White Rat, the Rat Men's Jihad became more and more extreme, and they could no longer accept defeat.
Just accept the words.
When leaving the meeting tent, Qi's face showed even more sadness.
He always felt that everything he faced and encountered was so unpleasant.
He has worked very hard to keep the troops in his hands. If there is no army, what is the rat warlord?
Qi understood this very clearly, but was helpless. Under the gaze of a pair of fanatical eyes, the flag appeared in the blood-stained trench at the forefront of the battlefield.
The rat warriors in his hands, the good and the weak guys gathered together, cast their fanatical eyes on him.
There was a trace of ferocity on Qi's face.
He is the most inconspicuous of the three rat warlords on the battlefield at this time. Of course, the situation will not always be like this, and it will not always be like this.
Without fear or fear of death, on this battlefield, the flag climbed out of the trench and appeared in the eyes of everyone on the battlefield at this time.
Wave the flag.
A rustling sound appeared, and countless rat warriors appeared on the battlefield with enthusiasm and excitement.
Crowding and shouting.
Qi shouted loudly at this moment.
“For the gods! And for myself!
For glory, for merit, and for yourself! "
At this moment, countless guys who climbed out of the trenches and poured into the battlefield, those unqualified guys, those defective products, began to respond loudly.
This group of despicable people Guy, on the contrary, he is a more qualified rat among the many rat warriors. He doesn't make many flags, and his techniques are very crude, not clever at all. He goes up to the high platform every day, waving the flag like that, like that. Zi repeatedly emphasized a few words that he had said countless times.
But it was very effective.
At least it could let these despicable guys know what they can want and what they can get. What, instead of dying on the battlefield in confusion and being pushed by the rat priests or war supervisors?
Loud echo.
The rat guys who climbed out of the trenches echoed Qi's words loudly.
"For the gods! But also for myself!
For glory, merit, and for myself!"
The army that Qi brought out in a strange way is very interesting.
There is no need for the magic of the rat priests or the persecution of the war team to just run wildly on this battlefield.
Without the support of countless war equipment, and without the manic and dangerous abnormal rat-men, in this blood-stained land, these guys who were once regarded as failures ran like this. , in that constantly repeated slogan.
Are you surprised by this scene? Surprised, of course there will be surprises.
Thinking of the white salt-alkali lake, and those bad guys who tried their best to get him out.
He is a liar, a liar who has nothing. He has to shout slogans and cannot give any actual slogans. He shouts and does all this for himself.
Those rat men who chanted this slogan fervently had already slammed into the wall of the tall fortress. They were no different from before. Death kept falling down and turned into corpses.
Qi’s expression became more and more ferocious.
He is indeed a liar, a guy who climbed out of the garbage heap, and a defective ratman.
Even though Shu Zhan is not tolerant to him, he is actually quite grateful to Shu Zhan. If it weren’t for Shu Zhan, he might still be confused in the unknown rat man city, interacting with those in the shadows. Others compete for even one cave mushroom that suddenly grows in wet areas.
But the rat died in the battle.
Now that vigorous journey, that great development that was spread by all the rat people, has come to a standstill with the death of Rat Zhan.
Even if the temple guards support the rat farmers, ordinary guys like them have found another way to join the rat mercenaries.
But, everything is different.
He really became a rat warlord during that great expansion!
Qi once thought that he would go further by relying on the temple guards, but it was not until Shu Zhan died and was pushed onto this battlefield that he finally understood.
Understand the importance of the Rat War to themselves, and understand how important a commander who is willing to give opportunities is to humble guys like them.
Angrily roaring on this battlefield.
Together with many other despicable guys, we attacked the tall city in front of us in this holy war.
They are not the protagonists in this war. They are not even the introduction. They can only be regarded as the guys who appear before the decisive battle to build up the atmosphere.
That kind of unknown guy.
Flag doesn't want to be like this all the time.
Roaring angrily on this battlefield, he once climbed onto the city wall. As the first rat warlord to climb onto this heretical fortress, his flag waved wantonly on the city wall.
It's a pity that he didn't gain a firm foothold and fell from the wall under the pressure of the magic knight pressing down on him like a city wall.
In the pile of corpses under the city wall, Qi was really unwilling. He found that he was not as big a person as he thought.
No, it's much better than that. Those rat guys who keep falling from the city wall are the real despicable people.
These piles of corpses are not even qualified to be remembered as a number.
The flag is already much better than them.
