Chapter 171, Unwise Decision, Flag's Roar, Rat War's Blanket
The edge of Four Seasons Ranch.

The city that Rat War settled here was never completed.

Even though corpses and blood almost filled every corner of the grassland.

No more scavenger teams went to this place.

Everything is over. When Shu Zhan left Prairie City and rushed here, they no longer had any chance. Shu Zhan would not show mercy to these guys, even if they had invested everything in the construction of this city.

An invested ratman priest hanged himself in the passage in front of Rat War.

His eyes were red and he died with his eyes open.

But what he got in return was just Shu Zhan's sneer.

One order, a little rumor.

Large groups of ratman priests, big claw priests, and captains of the scavenging teams, these cockroach-like guys swarmed in again.

They will also put everything they have on the line.

A large number of slave rats moved under the whip. Even though the war was not over yet and the harassing enemies had not retreated, it did not affect anything.

A huge number of slave rats gathered into a mighty team and marched forward with difficulty on the grassland.

In the whipping of the leader.

There is no ratman who does not have confidence in Rat War. As a qualified commander, Rat War is cruel and crazy, but can bring victory.

Of course, this is not a good thing for the scavengers hired by the previous batch of city investors.

Especially for those guys who are now trapped in the messy ruins that have become a result of continuous fighting.

They only received a small amount of compensation, and it was unlikely that they would get the rest. Most of the employers chose death in despair.

Besides this, there was another problem placed before them.

The Wolf Rider Commander was growing increasingly impatient.

The scavengers no longer come, so is there any need for this urban ruin that serves as bait?
A large number of argali riders and wolf riders gathered outside the city ruins.

And in this ruin, there is only a towering flag standing in the distance.

A ratman wearing tattered armor climbed to a high place. After a whole winter, the armor on the flag had become more and more tattered during this long battle.

Tiny traces were engraved on this already broken armor.

Hold the flag high.

He has almost gathered all the ratmen in this ruin.

A large number of ratmen warriors gathered around him and under the flag he held high.

Because of the lie, because of the promise that was made.

Also because of the wars that broke out again and again during the long winter.

The ruins were also filled with the corpses of ratmen, these stiff corpses had been preserved during the cold winter.

Qi now has 10,000 ratmen warriors.

There was not much hope facing the enemy troops gathering outside the city.

Even escaping is difficult to do.

In this vast grassland, facing these galloping knights, running recklessly will only accelerate one's death.

It’s not that there are no ways to deal with it.

An underground passage dug by slave rats came into Qi's sight. It was an underground passage dug by a group of slave rats who were longing for life in fear.

Excavation began shortly after the ruins of the city became an isolated city on the grassland.

It was built by secretly dismantling stone slabs from the ruins of the city.

But it didn't work.

An argali knight who fell into the passage frightened the cowardly guys so much that they dared not show their heads anymore and hid in the dim underground.

The passage of time and the lack of food led to a chaotic massacre.

Until the intersection of the underground passage was discovered when the flag was clearing the position.

This underground passage is undoubtedly a possibility for survival.

Flag didn't tell any of the Nezumi.

But at this moment he was confused.

I don’t know what decision to make.

The flagman who was standing on a high place looked at the large army gathered outside the city. In this harsh winter, the army under the wolf knight commander also suffered heavy losses, but compared with the rats gathered in the ruins, the power comparison was still overwhelming.

Look at the rats gathered in front of you.

These were the troops he had recruited with great difficulty, and the bargaining chips he had accumulated with great difficulty. If he gave up, he would be left with nothing.

This made him extremely confused.

Standing at the highest point of the ruins, all the surviving ratmen in the ruins were looking up at him.

In that inexplicable emotion.

Waiting for Qi's decision.

In a short time, the huge army gathered on the grassland not far away had begun to charge.

The scattered gullies in this city can no longer stop these guys from charging.

In the repeated fighting, these gullies have been filled with the corpses of both sides.

The flag must make a choice as soon as possible.

This is a difficult decision to make.

The mixed force composed of argali riders and wolf orc riders was getting closer and closer to the ruins.

The answer seemed obvious, because the ratmen gathered in this ruin were simply unable to defeat the attacking enemy forces.

Flag made his choice.

Amid the waving flags, the gathering troops began to surge.

An unwise choice.

The decision was made with red eyes and gritting teeth.

Shout loudly.

The content of the sermon was still the same two sentences that were repeated over and over again.

"Follow me! I will bring you merit!"

But it was extremely effective against the ratmen gathered in front of him.

Noisy shouts echoed in the messy ruins.

These rat people believed Qi's words after hearing his repeated shouts.

And Qi, well, Qi’s choice was not a wise one.

But he couldn't abandon the army in front of him, so he decided to take a gamble.

Bet that he can defeat the mixed knight force in front of him.

If he can't win, he will escape into the underground passage.

He is not a qualified gambler. He does not have many chips, but he takes the chips he has too seriously.

But he is very rat-like.

Surging with never-ending greed.

The two sides collided in the ruins.

This was the toughest battle that the Wolf Knight Commander had fought in this period of time. Even though the ratmen here were still in a mess, their numbers were not enough.

Many larger groups of ratmen were easily defeated by him.

But these guys in front of him were obviously much tougher and crazier.

Many rat people completely believed Qi's words.

It just can't change the direction of the war.

The ratmen kept falling down, and Qi's eyes turned completely red.

He completely left the matter of the underground passage behind him, and the flag was shaking amidst the sharp hissing.

However, the number of ratmen gathering around him was decreasing.

The fighting on this grassland is about to cease.

A group of wolf riders broke through the ratmen's defense line and rushed straight towards the flag standing high up.

However, this angered the gathered ratmen warriors, who fearlessly rushed towards the group of wolf riders who had broken into the front line.

The red-eyed Qi wanted to continue fighting, but was stopped by several thin ratmen.

He couldn't die. Too many rat people had placed their hopes on him, hopes that these guys would still desire even if they died.

Qi wanted to break free, but his angry gaze instantly melted away after meeting the eyes of the ratmen who were pulling him.

What kind of sights are those?

Some truly insane sights.

These rat people are either thin, short, born without tails, or have ears. Their future fate is determined from birth.

Even if they don't want to accept it.

The crazy gaze was cast on Qi with pleading and desire.

"You promised us!

You promised us!
You have to survive! You have to remember! "

Qi shuddered at the harsh whisper and nodded subconsciously.

There was an expression of irrepressible joy on the faces of these guys.

The flag was swept away and began to break out.

These thin, defective ratmen warriors were risking their lives to clear a way for the young ratmen warlord.

With a sharp neigh, it left the messy ruins with the flag in its arms and ran wildly across the grassland.

Then die.

They simply couldn't outrun the group of running argali riders and wolf riders.

There are fewer and fewer ratmen warriors around Qi.

An argali rider broke through the ratmen warriors surrounding the flag and charged straight towards him.

A guy with a missing ear rushed over and blocked the attack for Qi.

But the flag was still affected.

Rolling around in the grassland in a panic.

He still held the crude flag, but the ratmen warriors who followed him had disappeared.

He looked around at the scene in confusion.

The young man lost all his chips, and perhaps his life as well.

Only this time.

The argali riders and wolf riders who were chasing them relentlessly stopped.

Qi saw uneasy expressions on these guys.

I don't know what exactly happened.

But he had lost it all.

In anger, he climbed up from the grass, raised the flag in his hand high, and roared loudly at the guys in front of him.

"Come on! You damn guys!"

Death is approaching.

But at this moment he was not afraid.

Shout loudly.

He is braver and more fearless than the average ratman.

He always thought he would be a hero.

It's like a rat war.

Although at least three out of ten young ratmen have such thoughts, the other seven think that they will become great priests blessed by God.

He roared loudly with a distorted face.

"I am a hero!"

However, this fearless look and loud roar suddenly stopped in an instant, as if something had strangled his throat.

Didn't keep up.

The wolf riders and argali riders turned around and began to flee.

A team of silent knights passed by the flag, accompanied by an evil voice.

"Oh? Hero!"

His body became stiff and the ferocious and fearless expression on his face froze instantly. He turned his head and saw a familiar face.

Without much hesitation, he fell to his knees, his body trembling slightly. This is our future hero.

in front of him.

A nasty fellow riding a giant rat and carrying an intricate and gorgeous black dragon flag on his back grinned and looked down with interest.

Shuzhan found an interesting guy, at least more interesting than most of the rat warlords under his command.

Not long after, Shuzhan and his rat knights ran away to chase the fleeing argali knights and wolf knights in front of them.

He saw some new faces among these guys, and their fur looked very dense and warm. He urgently needed a warm fur pad.

Leaving behind the dazed Qi.

He got Shu Zhan's attention, but unfortunately, such attention did not bring much benefit.

It's not a good thing to be stared at by this evil guy.

But it's not all without benefits. The Rat War saved the flag from a war.

Next, as long as he does not die after serving as a vanguard five times, he will become the Skaven Warlord.

It went from being an almost impossible challenge to being an unlikely challenge.

It’s just obvious that Qi is not willing to give up.

He stood up, waved the battle flag in his hand, took a step towards the direction where Shu Zhan left, and chased after him.

The wolf knight commander finally figured out how this group of weak guys defeated the sheep orcs and the argali, although he found out a little late.

The speed of the Ferocious Knights is not slower than that of the Argali Knights, and is even slightly faster than that of the Wolf Knights.

And the goals of these guys are very clear.

The wolf knight commander carrying the banner.

Because of Rat War's order.

This hairless creature is in desperate need of a warm blanket.

The Brutal Knight walked past and ignored the fleeing Argali Knight.

He charged straight into the Wolf Knights who had gathered together and bit the Wolf Knight commander who wanted to lead the team away.

Behind him, a large group of rat knights, led by the towering flag, were not far away.

The Wolf Rider Commander encountered the same trouble as the old one-eyed man.

He had no way to deal with these ferocious knights who were fully armed and as fierce as cans.

Even though this force was not large, they were still firmly entangled, and these guys were different from the mob gathered in the scavenger teams.

It's a bit difficult to deal with at first.

The defense line in front was quickly broken, and these guys were coming towards him.

damn it!
This made the Wolf Knight Commander furious, especially when he found that the troops chasing him were not that large.

Under his command, the wolf knights quickly surrounded them.

Decided to eat all these arrogant guys.

Do you think you can eat him safely with just these thousand plus tins?

He stopped retreating and started fighting with the ferocious knights who were entangled with him.

Of course, even if the Brutal Knights are fully armed, as the elite among the ratmen, they will still suffer losses and casualties during the siege.

It is even easier for Wolf Knights to deal with Dire Knights.

Although the giant wolf could not bite through the armor of the brutal knights, the powerful tearing and shaking could still kill them.

But this cannot be considered a wise choice.

It is not a wise choice to stop and fight with these ratmen.
