Chapter 364: Form an army, invest, and rush to the battlefield
The black rat men began to struggle.
Shout loudly towards the flag.
"Help me! Help me!"
This loud shout successfully made Qi stop in front of this thin guy.
The big-clawed priest who was shouting saw Qi approaching and wanted to step forward to sell him. However, after seeing Qi's ordinary appearance, his eyes decisively stopped at a person passing by, covered with snow-white fur. On the body of the rat priest holding a blood-gold cane with intricate carvings.
The flag's inconspicuous appearance is indeed unattractive, at least not compared to the passing rat-man priest.
Qi was able to pause in front of the dark rat man without being disturbed.
The posture of being hung upside down made this guy look a little cramped and embarrassed.
However, he deserves to be in this situation. When he returned to the Skaven Kingdom, the first thing he did was to massacre all the Skaven settlements in a ruins. In order to obtain enough of supplies.
The price was that he was surrounded by angry rat-man farmers with their own private armies. In a chaotic battle, the dark rat-men who were originally guaranteed to win were beaten and stunned by the attacks of the rat-men carrying gun groups.
Finally, he was captured and sold in a humiliating manner.
He really wanted to fight to the death, but after having more than a dozen spears pointed at his head, he chose to surrender very conscientiously.
At this time, he urgently asked for help from the flag in front of him. If he was hung like this, he would probably not survive for a few days.
But Qi was watching him and made no further moves.
"I am willing to be driven by you, I am willing to pay the price for my life, save me, please save me!"
Hearing this, Qi was really moved, and in the next war , he really needs a cannon fodder.
The dark rat man in front of him is undoubtedly a qualified cannon fodder. No matter how you say it, he is a former rat warlord and has value.
Qi finally sold the Dark Rat Man, without giving him blood mushrooms, but instead presented a certificate made of blood gold. This certificate was provided to him by the temple guards to mobilize resources.
Very directly, the big-clawed priest who originally didn't think much of the flag, and even had some contempt for it, had a bit more flattery on his face. He climbed up the shelf nimbly and cut off the bindings. The Rope of the Dark Skaven.
In the dull sound.
The dark rat man hit the ground heavily and struggled to get up. However, he did not immediately express his surrender to the flag. Instead, he threw a handful full of gaps in the messy pile on one side. The sword was dragged out.
It can be seen that this guy is by no means a complete surrender, his eyes are full of rebelliousness, but he is not stupid and lowers his head towards the flag.
"Heimao is willing to be driven by you!"
In this way, Qi gained an adjutant.
New army, new army, what is the new army?
You can have anything. The temple guards have given you too many things, and there are too many things piled up behind the twin fortresses.
It almost dazzled Qitiao.
But he still forced himself to calm down. Even if he wanted everything, he still had to make a choice.
The next thing to attack is a fortress.
Everything you choose needs to have a specific focus.
Siege equipment, soul spears, enough soul ore, giant rats responsible for dragging siege equipment, rat trolls, storm rats, I didn’t choose those steam tanks, that’s not what happened in the undulating mountains. The home of the Iron Behemoth.
In almost no time, the 150,000 Skaven army was pulled up by the flag. Among them, the number of Storm Rats was not large, only 5,000. These guys were just emerging in the Skaven Empire. They have been in the limelight recently, so there is an urgent need for them. Even behind the twin fortresses, there is not much hoarding.
Don't look at the scale of this rat army newly taken into Qi's hands, but its combat effectiveness is infinitely higher than Qi's previous army.
But it’s not enough. This 150,000 rat-man army is far from enough.
To face the current battlefield, it is not enough to rely solely on the Skaven warriors, Abnormal Skaven and Storm Rats. Other forces are also needed, such as the Great Claw Priest Engineering Team and the Slave Rats.
They are an indispensable part of this battlefield.
But the temple guards cannot provide these.
Don't look at the fact that the Great Claw Priests have a sense of humiliation towards any party that is easy to come and go, but their actual relationship with each party is mostly based on cooperation. Lord.
If Qi wants to make up for the lack of this part, then it depends on his own ability.
Soon after, Qi found what he was looking for in the noisy ruins at the edge of the lively market.
The noisy ruins of every Skaven city seem to look the same.
A messy environment, a piece of rotten wooden board that was erected and covered with scratches, a large number of ratmen of all kinds gathered here, and a ratman with the presence of an old god.
When Qi entered this area, there was a burst of cheers inside, and the rat people were cheering for a guy who puffed out his chest.
“Crooked teeth, crooked teeth of a hunting bear!”
Another name was scratched out on the old wooden board.
The ratman with his chest puffed out is really aptly named, with a pair of crooked front teeth.
Excited and loud shouts.
"Me! I am the crooked tooth of the hunting bear! That's me! That's me!"
It was obvious that he was extremely excited about such a scene.
In excitement.
“Everyone, everyone on the field, I’ll pay for a glass of mushroom juice!”
The cheers became even louder.
Until the flag comes.
Tall storm rats broke into this place rudely. These well-trained guys are more able to maintain order and arrogance than ordinary rat people.
Pushing aside the rat people in front of them, they formed two neat teams and raised their heads high. These guys simply looked down on the rat people gathered in front of them. Among them, the flag was revealed.
Suddenly, there was silence on the field.
In the final analysis, the Noisy Ruins are only a place where some low-level rat people gather, and no serious big shot has ever appeared in such a place.
The flag took a step forward.
Take steps toward the center of the noisy ruins.
The old rat man, who had always been with the old god, knelt down to the flag.
Obviously, he was full of fear for the sudden visit of the rat warlord.
Everything is full of overlooking meaning.
Those Storm Rats took this scene for granted. These guys who had received professional training and graduated from Rat Man University were indeed extremely arrogant.
Especially for those ordinary rat people. One thing to say, this is not a good habit and may even affect sales. Only serious rat priests, temple guards and rat warlords can command them.
Qi is not very used to this kind of arrogance.
Because these arrogant guys seemed to look at him with a little more scrutiny after learning that he had no outstanding achievements in this war.
The rat warriors he sent to command them couldn't command them at all.
This dissatisfied Qi.
Compared to being incorporated into the rat army, these guys seem to be more willing to exist as the personal guards of the banner, or in other words, to exist as the personal guards of a rat warlord, which makes them flock to it.
The one who commands them is not the flag itself, but the title of Banner's rat warlord.
Qi did not stay in this noisy ruins for long. When he left, he left a bag of blood mushrooms and an instruction.
The rat man who got up from the ground held the bag of blood mushrooms in his hand and stared at the retreating flag, but he seemed to have thought of something.
In general, Qi's performance is not so domineering.
This is a very critical point.
The more critical point is that Flag is the only remaining Skaven warlord who survived the last Great Crusade.
It’s not that Mouse Zhan left nothing behind, although he may not know what he left behind.
This is not a pretense, but a real situation. After all, when that arrogant guy was still alive, he just didn't look at those despicable guys who were regarded as dust. .
I'm afraid he wouldn't think of it.
After his death, it was this group of despicable guys who he had never looked down upon who organized all the efforts to find his body.
The rat army composed of dumb rat people that was wreaking havoc on the northern coast of the Human Empire, the largest rat mercenary group in history, was precisely under the control of these despicable guys. Established with support.
Among them, these inconspicuous and noisy ruins contributed a lot.
Soon after, an old Big Claw Priest took the initiative to appear in front of Qi. Not only did he bring a professional Big Claw Priest engineering team to Qi, but he also brought a reselling line to Qi. channels.
The flag is not rich now, and the temple guards have not provided him with anything more than resources.
Obviously, hiring these big-clawed priests with slave rats cannot be free. Blood mushrooms need to be paid, and the current flag does not have blood mushrooms.
Then reselling the materials in hand has become a necessary behavior.
A large number of soul firearms, giant rats, and rat trolls were exchanged for blood mushrooms through this reselling channel.
In addition to hiring the Big Claw Priest engineering team, Qi also hired two more rat mercenaries as a servant army to transport supplies for him. At the same time, a slave catching team also took the initiative to find him. Flag, willing to be Flag's guide.
Vaguely, it seems that a group of guys are taking the initiative to show their goodwill to the flag.
Flag didn't know where the kindness came from, but he ate it all.
After a short period of preparation, Qi set off with the army in hand.
Rush to the front line.
Qi didn't want to understand who was showing kindness to him, but he didn't take the initiative to explore it all.
In fact, if there is any group of guys who are more eager to have a great commander again, it may not be the rat warlords today, but the despicable guys hiding in the corners.
The Skaven Priests and Skaven Lords spare no effort to monopolize any output from the battlefield.
The life of the free rat people has become increasingly difficult.
All of this made them miss that arrogant guy, that arrogant commander.
………….
Led by this team of rat slave hunters, Qi marched quickly with the rat army in his hands.
The destination is getting closer.
The flag is working intensively on the army in its hands.
In order to win over people's hearts, and because of his disgust for the arrogant group of storm rats, in front of all the rat warriors in his hands, he dismissed the group of storm rats and left them all to his new lieutenant. , Black Hair, and gathered the group of rat warriors who survived the valley raid and appointed them as his new personal guards.
At this moment, under the gaze of all the rat warriors under his command.
Qi personally gave the responsibility of personal guard to the group of good and weak guys in front of him. Yes, the good and the weak are mixed. These guys, his former troops, their overall quality may be better than But among the army of ratmen that he had just recruited from behind the Twin Fortresses, they were the worst group of young ratmen.
Yes, it is so unbearable.
Due to the divine gift, the physical fitness of the new generation of rat people is generally much better than that of the previous generation of rat people.
And the technology of the breeding house is also constantly improving.
The progress of maternal breeding and the increasingly bloody battlefield have allowed various breeding houses to get rid of the terrifying involution of unlimited accumulation of breeding numbers to a certain extent, and are more interested in cultivating better-quality young ratmen.
Of course, these unethical guys also allowed these unethical guys to abandon more grotesque mother bodies that were far from being scrapped in the corners of the city, creating batch after batch of rats in the city. Savage rat-men wandering in the shadows.
But even if they can't compare with the worst group of young ratmen in the ratman army, so what.
At this moment, Qi still gave the honor, blood mushrooms, status, and all these things to the old troops who followed him without hesitation.
Under the watchful eyes of all the rat men under his command.
His old team, those unqualified guys who were mixed with many defective rat-men, were extremely fanatical at this moment.
Even if Qi asked them to die next moment, they would probably do it without hesitation.
Flag fulfilled his promise today and gained their complete loyalty.
And it’s not just their loyalty either.
The enthusiasm also spread to all the rat people present as the pairs of eyes were watching here.
The prestige of the flag has increased a lot in this army.
Although they are not yet able to act as arm wielders, most of the rat warriors are ignited by the flag with some desire and expectation.
Except for those storm rats.
They hated it so much that they almost had itching teeth.
Such a scene is of course a humiliation for them.
Just adhering to a professional attitude, they still chose to surrender to the name of the rat warlord, but it was not easy to get them to cooperate in fighting.
But it’s not a big problem.
They still didn't know what was about to greet them, their new commander, a dwarf mouse-man who didn't look like much, a guy who was rare among the mouse-men to use a big sword, and a former mouse-man warlord who was relatively good at fighting.
