From Skaven to God-King of War

This was weather the Rat People had never encountered before.

From barren mountains to lush forests to lizardmen wetlands, even if the winter is cold, it is not enough to cause heavy snowfall until the rat people break through the towering mountains.

Come to this vast grassland.

The Four Seasons Ranch is already the warmest corner of this vast grassland, but it is a bit unbearable for the rat people.

Although these guys have hair, they don't have enough hair.

This cold weather is a non-fatal but difficult to ignore trouble for the rat people.

Rat War is still recruiting troops, and the rat warriors who are the main body of the army have been recruited.

Compared to last time, the scale was even larger.

Rat War is thinking about how to carry out a long-term war on this grassland. The problem of Rat Man's lack of mobility is becoming increasingly impossible to ignore.

He couldn't just start turning back, hibernating, and accumulating strength after every war and every large-scale loss of the rat knights.

It is obvious that the rat army in his hands is larger than ever before.

But without the accompanying knights, no matter how large the assembled rat army is, it will still be too cumbersome.

Nothing on this vast grassland is fixed, there are no solid fortresses, and there are no bustling cities.

The advantage brought by the huge Skaven army was infinitely diluted.

Maybe it would be much smoother for Rat Zhan to attack the half-elf kingdom in the rolling hills.

Under his banner and under the spears of the Skaven Supervisory Team, the vast army of Skaven could easily overwhelm the sparse half-elves.

But on this grassland, this is difficult to do.

Only knights can fight against knights.

But the quality of the rat knights is really not an advantage.

If you rely on equipment?

Rat War does not have the resources to equip every rat knight with heavy armor, so he cannot do this.

Thinking.

Rat Zhan couldn't think of any better solution for a while. In fact, there were still not enough resources, not enough sacrifices, and not enough blood mushrooms.

If there are enough blood mushrooms, many things can actually be solved very easily.

If the scale of the fierce knights in Mouse Zhan's hands can reach as many as ten thousand, then many problems will not be considered problems at all.

It's just a pity that it can't be done.

Then some changes have to be made.

Rat Zhan is not a guy who likes to play it safe. He is radical, bold, and manic, but this vast grassland still forces him to try to change his strategies.

In the cold wave that swept across the world overnight, this ugly hairless mouse was particularly sensitive.

Suddenly I shuddered.

He rubbed his paws involuntarily.

Shu Zhan suddenly thought of the guy he left on the grassland, and felt a little regretful.

Originally, he planned to peel off the guy's skin and use it as a cushion. Maybe it would be good as a shawl, which should keep him warm.

Take back your thoughts.

Finally, he made a decision.

He doesn't like the word "play it safe", but now he can only make this choice.

The war is about to escalate.

Forced by the vast scale of this grassland, Rat War changed the strategy of war.

Camps one after another will be laid out on this grassland.

Settlements will be established one after another on this grassland, and cities like prairie cities will be built one after another on this grassland.

Since there are no cities or fortresses on this grassland, it will be up to the ratmen to take care of them.

When the vast grassland is divided by camps and fortresses, a huge network is built, with cities as the core. When such a situation occurs, the situation will be reversed.

Rat Zhan had already had enough of chasing these slippery guys all over the grassland.

I don't like to build camps, cities, and fortresses like this to fight a long war.

But if there is really no choice, he would still prefer to build camps, cities, and fortresses.

A decision was made.

This is how this war will continue.

At this freezing moment, the Ratmen in Prairie City started to move because of the order of the biggest man in the city.

Just like the wild boars did when they invaded the lush forest, Rat War will also develop the four-season pasture in front of it.

The Rat Man army was silent. The hairless Rat Zhan hated the cold weather, but the ordinary Rat Men who gathered in Prairie City in large numbers had no choice but to move under his order.

This huge four-season ranch was divided into six areas by Rat War.

In these six areas, Rat War will build six cities.

These six cities are not showy cities, but real cities with palaces of gods and the ability to cultivate blood mushrooms.

These six cities will be directly taken over by Rat War.

At this time, these huge groups of rats will be the pioneers of these six cities.

Rat War is not prepared to use its own power to open up the city.

But these developed cities will be taken over by him.

But this did not cause much dissatisfaction. It can even be said that there are countless rat people who are willing to do this for Rat War.

Because Rat War offered some conditions that people couldn't refuse.

Six cities is obviously not the limit that this huge ranch can carry.

But Shu Zhan's troops will only be stationed in these six cities, so what about the remaining areas?

These areas will be littered with rat wars.

Can be held by any Skaven.

The land is not without value, although Rat Zhan has always been disdainful of the gains from the land. This manic war maniac is used to grabbing everything in war.

But this does not prevent him from using the land he has acquired and the land that has not yet been acquired as a carrot.

Driven by this carrot, these rat people gathered around him will open up the city for him and fill the large vacancies in the areas near the city for him.

Become a part of a long defense line, and in the end, half of what you gain will be handed over to his hands. No matter what, promoting this matter will not be a loss for Rat War.

As for whether any Ratmen are willing to take a bite of this carrot, we can only say that a group of guys have already done this.

The senior priests at those outposts made a lot of money from the lush forests.

But now Rat Zhan has given this opportunity, or in other words, only Rat Zhan has given this opportunity.

Well, in fact, in the past, Rat War was not very motivated to do these troublesome things, but this grassland is too vast. In the foreseeable long war, Rat War will need more supplies and more blood. Mushrooms, and a larger reserve force.

On the first day of the cold winter, a group of rat knights sent out by Rat War returned.

They ran wildly toward the depths of this vast grassland for thirty days, but they still couldn't see the end.

From Prairie City to the Desolate Mountains, the rat knights only need to run for fifteen days to reach it.

Rat Zhan has been trying to calculate the distance of this vast grassland.

For this reason, he sent many rat knights, but only one rat knight returned safely in the end. The danger on this vast grassland is not small.

But it was this returning rat knight that made him think about the way of war.

The current strategy is the solution he came up with.

But there is no doubt that it will be a revolution.

If it really proceeds as Mouse War envisions, a very serious problem will soon arise.

Of course, it is very easy to restrict a settlement or camp scattered on the grassland.

After all, the temple of the gods does not appear in every settlement and camp.

No matter where the rat people are scattered, they will eventually move closer to the central city where the temple of the gods is built.

This is why the Rat War has a firm grip on central cities.

But this is also the problem.

Now the entire Rat Empire, the underground Rat City, the outpost, the Waste City, the Furnace City, and the newly built Prairie City.

Of the five cities, Shu Zhan has already held two cities in his hands, so in the future, if the six cities on this Four Seasons Ranch are built again, Shu Zhan will hold them in his hands.

Then it is equivalent to Rat Zhan having eight cities in his hands.

With the development of the city and the progress and expansion of the war, most of the territory of the Rat Empire will be controlled by Rat War.

So what is the Rat Council in the Underground Rat City, or in other words, what does Rat War want to do?

Who will be the orthodox member of the Skaven Kingdom?

This is undoubtedly a huge problem and an extremely sensitive one.

But Shu Zhan didn't seem to think about this, or in other words, he thought about it, but he still did it.

The white rats have never restricted the flow of rat men in the barren mountains to the two directions of rat war and rat priests.

Compared to the newly built Furnace City, Waste City, and Prairie City.

Undoubtedly, it was the underground rat city in the barren mountains that supported the two-front war.

But now Rat War has used the rat people flowing out of the barren mountains to try to practice the act of transcendence.

This is undoubtedly a dangerous signal.

Rat Zhan: He is too far away from the desolate mountains now, and also too far away from the white rat.

In the prairie city, Rat Zhan gathered the big-clawed priests, the captain of the scavenging team, and the rat-man priests with exaggerated expressions.

A generous promise.

Undoubtedly, many guys are excited.

Deep in the grassland, at a location circled by the rat war, a large number of rat people started construction on this grassland.

Rat War will not provide any support to city buildings.

The construction went smoothly at first, and most of the Skaven city was buried under the earth.

In the cold weather, the land was harder than usual, and the excavation went smoothly until the depth of the excavation continued to increase. This loose land without any support became a big problem.

Of course, the Skaven city is not built on unsupported tunnels.

Especially in this loose soil.

What was simply dug out of the soil was not a city at all, but a living coffin that could collapse at any time. Even the Rat Man would not stay in such a dangerous building.

In fact, in order to prevent chain collapse, a large amount of wood is used to support the tunnels dug by the Rat Men. Even recently, in order to ensure safety and stability, the underground Rat City has gradually begun to use metal to support the city.

You know, a rat city is far from being populated by such a rare number as 12,000 rat men.

Take the Underground Rat City as an example. There is no accurate number of how many rat people are entrenched in this complex and huge city so far. However, it is more than 30 million, at least. Although among these 30 million, there are Two-thirds were stuffed by slave rats.

It is also an extremely large number.

This is why the Skaven are able to support the war in both directions at the same time.

Even the war in both directions is currently supported by the two rat cities in the barren mountains.

Although this newly built city is definitely unlikely to expand to the extent of the underground rat city, it is obvious that Rat War will not accept such a shoddy project.

Trouble with supporting materials.

There are no tall trees in this vast grassland.

They cannot use metal pillars as extravagantly as the Underground Rat City.

The Rat War has a time requirement. Even though this guy doesn't like winter, he is still ready to take action after the recruitment of the army in his hands gradually comes to an end.

Even though Mouse Zhan was quite bold, he still felt a little guilty when he was tinkering with such a thing, especially after he made the decision on a whim in the next few days and gradually realized what he was doing.

For this reason, he urgently needed a big victory. It would be best if he could directly destroy a temple of a heretic god and hold a grand ceremony in front of the great god at the temple.

Of course, he couldn't allow these guys to slowly find a solution.

If you can't do that, just change another batch. Anyway, there are many rat people who want these lands.

He urgently needed time now before the rat could react.

Forced by the rat war, these rat priests, big-claw priests, and captains of the rat scavenging team chose a material that had never been tried before.

They began to mine stone strips on the towering mountains that separated grasslands and wetlands.

In fact, the rat people have always been good at mining and using rocks, because the stone paintings that are popular among the priests should be the carvings of the gods' patterns.

But it was the first time to use it to build a city.

It's not easy.

But simply, the Big Claw Priest joined in this construction, and a large number of slave rats were driven up the mountains in the biting cold weather.

There is not much safety protection, no warmth, and no auxiliary machinery, even though the pulleys and gears have long been tinkered with by the rat priests and used in war machinery.

There are just endless slave rats.

Amid the clanging sound and the whipping, the construction of the city finally began.

This is another bold attempt by Rat War.

Of course, Rat Zhan might not have thought that much at first, and was just using this method to spice up the war, but when he came to his senses, he didn't stop this behavior.

I was just a little more impatient in my nervousness, wanting to put this matter behind me completely.

But what he didn't know was that on the third day after he made his decision, the news was delivered to the white mouse.
