From Skaven to God-King of War

In front of a gentle river bend, a busy city stands.

The war in the lush forest during this period seemed not to have affected this place at all.

The city gate opened, and a steady stream of wild boar transport teams arrived carrying some black stones.

The tall windmill stands on the river, rotating day and night, accompanied by a dull sound.

Dams were built, the riverbed was exposed, and large numbers of slaves worked on it.

A steady stream of ore is transported into the city and turned into hot molten iron.

This is the only iron mine mined by the wild boars. Even with the invasion of the lush forest, many minerals have been discovered one after another.

But either the reserves are not large enough, or they haven’t had time to be mined yet.

Even though the plans had been made, all the plans were disrupted after the rat man broke into the forest brazenly.

In the end, the wild boar people chose to keep their most important property in the lush forest, the only mature mining and industrial city.

This city provides most of the quilboar's metal production, and it is here that the strong full-body armor and maw of the quilboar knight is forged by the heavy water-powered forging hammer.

It can be seen that the wild boar people actually supply most of their resources to the wild boar knights.

Because the ordinary wild boar warriors, not to mention full-body armor, even metal half-body armor are rare. Most of them only have a piece of leather armor, and a sword and spear in their hands.

Let's leave aside the sword, but a spear with only an iron tip doesn't really use much iron.

This made the wild boar warriors become quite passive when faced with the siege of a large group of rat warriors.

Especially when the wild boar knight who spent a lot of effort did not have the expected effect.

A rumor began to spread among the quilboar commanders.

Yes, I know the quilboar knights are powerful warriors, but it's hard for them to be effective now.

So why not assign the quilboar knights to various cities to serve as defense forces?

Since knights are useless, wouldn't it be better to just not have knights?

This kind of discourse became more and more frequent and intense after more and more wild boar commanders abandoned the cities where they were stationed and were forced to gather together with their colleagues.

Especially driven by some thoughtful people.

After all, knights also have another name.

Temple Knights, Quilboar Temple Knights.

It's obvious that this proposal was severely opposed by the priests, but most of the wild boar commanders agreed.

Of course, this is not absolute. All the priests are opposed to the transformation of the wild boar knights, but there is a wild boar commander who is opposed to the transformation of the knights.

But these are digressions.

Today, this important and only mining and industrial city for the wild boar people is targeted by Sheng Qi.

Although the other five core cities guarding the industrial city have been filling in underground tunnels since then.

However, no matter how they blocked it, buried it, or even poured water, they could not completely seal the underground tunnel network in the area.

If the quilboars didn't go deep underground themselves, they would never know how wonderful the underground world of this lush forest would be.

These are the products of the slave-catching team priests at the outposts, day after day, night after night.

A large number of rat troops were mobilized through the defense line and came to the vicinity of the core city of wild boar people.

Although Sheng Qi didn't quite understand the reason for this city's weird structure.

But this did not prevent him from blowing the offensive horn without hesitation.

Roaring swarms of rats emerged from the ground.

Howling with excitement, they swarmed forward.

In an instant, the watchtower completed its alert, and the ringing bell interrupted the city's tranquility.

A large number of wild boar people rushed towards the city in fear.

But they were all rudely pushed away by the heavily armored soldiers who filed out of the city.

The heavily armored quilboar warrior, who had been wearing full body armor and holding a bright chain hammer in his hand, rushed out.

To a certain extent, this city is the only mining and industrial city of the wild boars, and the defenders in it are not far behind even the wild boar knights who are armed to the teeth.

Except there are no mounts.

Facing the incoming rat troops, these guys even dared to rush forward to meet the enemy.

The ore accumulated outside the city and the water-powered forge were fighting with the rat people.

It's just a pity that they will also face the same problem, that is, the sneak attack of the rat-man knights and the special care of the rat-man priests.

After all, with a set of thick hemp ropes, no matter how powerful these wild boar heavily armored warriors are, they are still no match for those deformed giant rats.

Plus those guys who are so crazy that they install city-defending crossbows on their own giant rats.

Even though the armor is strong, the fist-thick crossbow arrows are no joke.

Although the accuracy of these guys is not very good, they basically shoot randomly, and they hit friendly troops more often than they hit the enemy.

But I couldn’t bear the pressure.

There was chaos until the quilboar craftsmen escaped from the water forge and fled into the city.

This group of heavy armored infantry began to retreat in an orderly manner.

The battle flag was hoisted in the center of the Skaven army by Rope Seven.

Climbing up a pile of ore, Sheng Qi looked at the city not far away.

This city has stronger walls and more defensive crossbows than the core city.

Even though not all the wild boar warriors guarding the city wall have heavy armored elites, they do have three elite heavy armored infantry interspersed among the three wild boar warriors.

And even if there were two left, the chain armor shining brightly under the leather armor was still noticed by Sheng Qi.

They are all good things that I have never seen before.

The difficulty of capturing this city can be imagined.

And Sheng Qi was not ready to do everything in one battle.

In a tentative attack, the densely packed feather arrows and fist-thick crossbow arrows reached a daunting density.

But this is just a trial.

And this city is not completely included by the tall city wall.

The huge rat army dispersed at Shengqi, waving flags and Zhihong.

Those convoys left behind by the quilboar transports, those mining slaves.

There are also iron pickaxes scattered on the ground.

These have become the trophies of the rat men.

Among them, the blacksmith workshops built on the basis of water-powered forges are even more precious.

Even if it is just an abandoned thing, it is a rare good thing for the rat people who are still using the broken wood and spears!

The rat people filed in, scrambling for these scattered things wantonly.
