From Skaven to God-King of War

Shu Zhan has encountered a little trouble recently. Well, maybe it's not a little trouble, but a big trouble.

His appetite will obviously not be satisfied just by swallowing two provinces.

But if he wants to move forward, one place becomes an obstacle, a very tricky obstacle.

After the Golden Province, there is a hard bone between Lianyan Province and the province where Shu Zhan is stationed now.

Three of the four provinces in this area are classified as grain-producing areas because of the suitable climate. Only this place in the middle is not only extremely unsuitable for climate, but also a real trouble.

The earth rises in this central area, and a plateau overlooking the four directions is lifted up.

But the situation is different now. The scale of the Eastern Expeditionary Force has once again expanded to an extremely outrageous level.

Shu Zhan wrapped himself in a blanket, and the soft leather was wrapped around his body. He was a hairless mouse, especially afraid of the cold.

This arrogant guy was afraid of not many things, but this biting cold wind was definitely one of them.

His choice naturally became clear.

Well, it seems that even if Shu Zhan received many blessings and became a hero, with power far beyond that of ordinary mortals, he still could not cope with the biting cold.

There was no way, because the leader of the Eastern Expeditionary Force, the Dragon Slayer, the Skinned Rat, the God-favored One, the great Rat Commander, he could not bear it.

The nobles who ruled the plateau were not polite to their neighbors, and they always robbed whenever they wanted. Even when the human empire was at its strongest, they had no special way to deal with the people of the plateau. The three expeditions only exchanged for a verbal surrender, not to mention that now this huge empire is gradually decaying and on the eve of disintegration.

Countless rats groaned and climbed up, and then they were constantly frozen to death, and constantly fell and died.

He was also a very confident guy.

It is unknown, at least Shu Zhan is still climbing the mountain with the Eastern Expeditionary Force.

These dried and hard mushrooms that were dried in the sun have become more suitable food than blood mushrooms in this situation.

The rats did not have no way to deal with it. Every time they advanced for a period of time, a simple cave would be dug out. Hiding in the cave, all the rats gathered together and curled up into a ball. This was the only way to temporarily drive away the ubiquitous cold.

Of course, there was actually another option, which was to capture the Lianyan Province and then slowly deal with the humans on the plateau in a siege posture.

But Rat War was an arrogant guy, an extremely arrogant guy, and an overly impatient guy.

But Rat War's speed of advancement was not slow, at the cost of countless rats falling off the cliff and countless rats freezing to death.

………….

Many things began to become somewhat disordered, the tides and winds became more violent, and began to be infected by magic.

The sun no longer rose, and the moon disappeared with it. In this case, the world should be heading towards a dead silence, and the wind and tides should also gradually disappear.

The reason lies in the people of the plateau. They are robbed every year and have become a little convinced. The fact that Shu Zhan can easily take this province into his hands is also due to the fact that some of the barbarians of the plateau have just left.

In the process of climbing the plateau, this phenomenon was more intuitively demonstrated. The whistling wind was freezing cold. No, it was beyond the simple cold. The cold wind with magic power would really penetrate the bone marrow.

Just as Shu Zhan climbed up, an army started to move and set out from the City of the Sun in the mouth of humans.

Will he become the dog that steals food? No.

This is not easy. After all, the most prominent feature of the plateau is that it is high.

If you want to continue moving forward, then this plateau is something that you can't avoid. After all, the human army on the plateau can easily cut off the logistics line of the Eastern Expeditionary Force.

The general commander is like this, and ordinary ratmen are naturally not much better. Even if they dig a cave for a short rest every time they climb up for a while, a large number of ratmen curl up to barely resist the cold, but after each rest, those who did not grab a good position and were pushed to the periphery of the group of ratmen are still very likely to never wake up again.

But this also brings a problem, the speed of advancement is greatly slowed down.

As they climbed higher and higher, the whistling cold wind appeared, not ordinary wind, but the biting elemental wind.

It replaced the missing sun and moon laws and began to inject vitality into the world, and it was much stronger than the sun and the moon.

Rat War did not fight a surprise war. In the second war of gods that established his position as the general commander of the ratmen, he launched a very radical surprise attack on the lizardman wetland.

Frozen stiff, abandoned in the caves dug everywhere.

They were sure that they could defeat the humans entrenched on the plateau in such a harsh environment. As long as they could climb up, everything would be fine.

Along the way, the rats did not encounter any enemy attacks, no passes, no outposts, no fortresses, and not even a proper road.

Countless rats fell off the cliffs and steep roads while climbing up the plateau because they could not bear the cold wind.

The loss reached an extremely terrifying level.

I just want to get closer to the flame and get warmer.

In this case, the despised cave mushrooms actually shined.

The higher you go, the colder it gets. Spring hasn't been over for too long, and the current season should be in the warm summer. Why is it so cold?

For example, at this moment, in the excavated cave, the bright flames are dancing, but it seems that they can't bring warmth. A guy wrapped tightly in white fur is still shivering, unconsciously moving closer to the fire, and the white fur is burned black by the flames.

Why is it so cold? Maybe looking up at the sky will give you the answer. The sun is out, and the world is dark. Although the elemental tide has re-invigorated the world, it has not brought the light and warmth that the world has lost.

Perhaps there is another way, such as a short pause, waiting for the subsequent arrival of the Great Claw Priest to repair the steep road, or simply digging a wide cave in the cliff leading directly to the plateau.

Rat Zhan already regretted it a little, but the plateau had already climbed halfway, and it was too late to regret it now. The Eastern Expeditionary Force was indeed large enough and threatening enough, and could even dye the steep cliff into a large area of ​​gray-brown during the climbing process.

But even so, Rat Zhan was unwilling to give up.

In the human empire, the most remote gold province is famous for its richness, but there are obviously two grain-producing provinces behind the gold province. They all belong to the same area and have similar environments. Why are gold and richness crowned in the most remote province?

Those rat warlords rushed into Lianyan Province in unison, as if they were fighting for rotten meat.

An impatient guy.

Lianyan can be said to be too chaotic. The nobles who ruled the province and the mountain people were not harmonious and in constant conflict. But why did the province that was easily captured by the Rat War not get the reputation of gold and wealth? It was obviously closer to the heartland of the human empire.

But is it really so?

The continuous excavation of caves on the cliffs delayed the speed of advancement.

This plateau became a nail that was driven in and could not be ignored.

Under the waving black flags, countless ratmen began to climb towards this piece of land that was lifted high.

A very anxious one.

The dry and hard cave mushrooms became brittle in the cold, while the blood mushrooms were frozen hard.

This would take too long to wait.

And this was too slow.

Even if they were shivering in the cold, they were unwilling to give up.

In fact, the difficulty of the ratmen's challenge now was even greater than that of the human empire.

Cold, harsh environment, barrenness, and covetous eyes.

It's not surprising. For a long time, it has always been this group of people on the plateau who have launched looting against the people below the plateau, but there are almost no opponents who rush to the dangerous plateau. Naturally, there are no outposts, fortresses, and passes. These things are useless.

It should have been like this, but the elemental tide appeared. The huge and terrifying elemental torrent was bursting into the world every moment. This thing is much more powerful than the sun and the moon.

These frozen guys even lost their value of being eaten. They were too hard, and even biting was a difficult behavior.

At the beginning, there was a way to climb up, but in the end, the road became steeper and steeper. At this time, the rat warriors had to put away their weapons and began to move forward with their hands and feet.

Perhaps this is the reason why Shu Zhan led the Eastern Expeditionary Force to climb up regardless of everything. He was unwilling to accept a long wait.

The Eastern Expeditionary Force stopped during this period.

Who said he was a hairless rat?

Logistics has become a constraint.

The rats are now gradually realizing why the human empire has no way to deal with these highland barbarians.

The prince did not break his promise. He really summoned the royal guards and began to go down the river.

The arrival of this army will bring many variables, but the prince chose a very good time. At least now, the rats are corrupted, but have not completely spread out of control. His arrival is generally welcomed.
