Chapter 300: The greetings and humiliations that Shu Zhan prepared to send
Rat War is not invincible. In fact, it is difficult to have a general who is victorious in every battle. Even a powerful god of war will sometimes fail.

What's more, for Rat War, the troubles at this time may come from both inside and outside.

An irregular letter was sent to the central camp of the Youyan human race's divine war army.

Unnoticed by anyone, it suddenly appeared, an irregular letter.

The letter paper, the envelope, and the wax seal, these three items came from three prestigious nobles, but they were put together at this moment, forming such an irregular letter, which was sent to the prince.

Does this represent a kind of alliance, a union of the three aristocratic forces?

No, it doesn't.

In fact, these three once-prominent noble families all suffered the same fate.

Destroyed by the Skaven invasion.

Three extinct noble families jointly submitted a letter to him.

This isn’t the creepiest situation.

Open the envelope, unfold the letter paper, and some crooked paragraphs appear in front of you, as if it was an arduous and difficult task for the person who wrote this letter.

The writing looked more like twisted claw marks.

This was the prince's first feeling when he looked at the letter.

In the Ratman Empire, there is a group of guys who have not shown up for a long time. They are a dangerous group of guys hiding in the dark.

He put down the letter in his hand and stood up. The armor on his body made a crisp and continuous crackling sound at this moment. He opened the curtain of the tent, and what he saw was not the terrifying darkness. This camp was very lively, and various scattered lights drove away most of the darkness.

But there was an inexplicable sense of coldness on the prince who was standing upright.

There seemed to be some strange rustling noises inexplicably in the shadows where the light intersected.

It makes people feel more uneasy.

The prince did not spread the news. Inside the tent, the strange letter was set on fire and turned into ashes.

………….

Rat Zhan, marching in the wilderness, determined what he would do next.

Holding up a map marked with the language of the Youyan people, he confirmed it.

In fact, whether it was the lower classes of the Ratman Empire or a high-ranking commander like him, they were all more or less influenced by the Ghost-Eye People in the war with them.

The lower-level rat people are reflected in the development of cooking habits and the acceptance of various tools, while for the high-ranking guys like Rat Zhan.

However, they would only accept some more sophisticated things, such as the map of the Ghost Eye people, which clearly marked various terrains and displayed detailed information of large areas. Even the arrogant guy Shu Zhan had to admit that this map was excellent.

In the past, the Skaven did not draw maps.

It's not that there aren't similar things. The ratmen's skill in building sand tables is very good. Each piece of sand table can be built very delicately. However, this skill is difficult to use in an ongoing war, and is mostly placed in ratmen cities.

Rumor has it that in the hands of Bai Shu there is a detailed sand table that is still expanding and covers the entire territory of the Ratman Empire.

Maps and sand tables each have their advantages and disadvantages, but in war it is obvious that maps are more convenient and applicable.

The rat priests have already roughly figured out the standards for drawing human maps. It won’t be long before these things will be completely borrowed by the rat people.

These big shots among the ratmen have been denouncing the Ghost Eye people as blasphemous heretics to this day, and disdainfully resisting their creations, but they cannot resist the fact that this set of mapping specifications and standards are so attractive.

But if we make some slight changes, it becomes a kind of transcendence. What is the point of learning from others? There is no such thing as learning from others.

Shu Zhan is almost ready to collect a map covering the entire territory of the Youyan human race.

This brought him great convenience, allowing him to run wildly in the Youyan Human Empire like a fish in water.

As more and more guys chased after him, he would sometimes have some troubles, like now.

Shu Zhan was not far away from the capital of the Youyan people, but the human army behind him was about to catch up. These guys were as difficult to deal with as dog-skin plasters, but Shu Zhan had no good way to deal with them.

The most important thing for him now is to go a certain distance deeper into the human empire and take over Sheng Qi's sea route.

This is a very important matter. He is indeed reckless, but not stupid. The still huge army in his hands is the capital to tie the hands of the enemy.

After all, no matter how fast the rats run, how can they outrun the knights who come and go like the wind?

Even though these knights could catch up with him, they did not dare to go forward and bite him. The knights were disconnected from the team behind, and the rat army gathered by Shuzhan was so huge.

Being chased continuously made Shuzhan inexplicably annoyed.

They arrived at a three-way intersection. The reason for the mad pursuit might be that Shu Zhan was too close to the prosperous and dazzling city.

He just needs to run a little further and eat Sheng Qi, then everything will become clear to Shu Zhan. After all, Shu Zhan had no plan to launch an attack on the capital of the Youyan human race.

But Shuzhan was inexplicably annoyed at this moment.

He felt that he had to teach a lesson to those guys who were chasing him, so on that day, the rat army began to rush towards some dangerous areas, and the royal knights who were chasing them were thrown off.

This happened many times during this period.

There was a game of chess between the two sides, because the Eastern Expeditionary Force was not really fleeing in panic. In fact, ambushes on these royal knights who were following them had already occurred many times when the rats briefly disappeared into dangerous areas.

Don't dare to chase rashly.

This area was so important that they immediately began searching along the area.

Not long after, these royal knights once again discovered the traces of a large group of ratmen.

This group of royal knights breathed a sigh of relief and continued their mission, continuously passing on the information of the ratman army to the main force in the rear, the God War Army that was chasing them relentlessly.

However, what they did not notice in the darkness was that a dark flag disappeared from the still huge ratman army.

Taking risks was a common thing for Rat Zhan, and he was not prepared to fight to the death with the capital of the Ghost Eyes, but he did not need to do that to humiliate the guy who was overconfident and extremely persistent in pursuing him. Killing some people, piling up a small tower with their heads, and placing it in front of the city that made the damn guy extremely nervous, was a suitable sneer.

Rat War is prepared to do just that.

In fact, it is not difficult to do this. Shu Zhan even has to do these things personally, with his own guards. There may be some inexplicable emotions in it, or maybe Shu Zhan simply wants to do this.

One of the worst guys in the Skaven Empire.

A bad guy who is willing to do anything out of his control and take radical and risky actions within his ability.

Although this time this bad guy's provocative behavior may not be so smooth.

Just as he was preparing for the surprise, a group of cavalry also left the camp and began to gallop in the darkness.

This was a team of well-equipped royal knights. Each of them not only held their lances tightly in their hands, but also held torches high in their hands. The large team of knights dragged a strip of light in the darkness.

This caused a look of speechlessness to appear on the face of the accompanying wizard.

In fact, it is not that troublesome. Just a satellite light is enough to illuminate this team of galloping knights. There is really no need to make such a big fuss. And anyway, he actually wanted to complain, whether in his impression or in the various biographies he has read.

There has never been a scene of knights representing justice running wildly in the dark with torches in hand. Such a scene only appears in a group of bandits preparing to plunder a village.

This wizard really wanted to remind the prince who was leading the team of this fact.

But in the end, he didn't say anything. Let the prince be happy. After all, he had seen how busy he was during this period. Apart from always having some unrealistic and weird ideas in certain aspects, the prince really played the role of a qualified leader during this period.

Many people know that His Highness has a knight fever.

The existence of these royal knights is the best reflection of this point. In fact, this group of guys has existed for a very young time, and there was no such thing as royal knights in the past.

The Dark Eye human royal family only has four knightly orders that have sworn allegiance. Well, you can also call it a large number of direct nobles who have received royal fiefs and united under the banner of the imperial royal family.

Looking back, during these long years, there were many armies named after the royal family, and there were even teams with titles such as Royal Knights.

But these have not been passed down.

The current Royal Knights are indeed a rather young team, an army born out of the craze for knights.

Some of them are just child's play. The birth of these guys, and even the guy who came up with such an idea, are all quite child's play.

It even became an interesting story circulating in aristocratic circles.

But at this stormy moment, that unreliable guy and the young knight in his hand were running wildly in the darkness.

It was indeed quite unexpected.

………….

Shu Zhan and his personal guards appeared outside the capital of the Youyan people, a rather dazzling city.

You are right, this city is particularly distinctive and eye-catching.

From a distance, Shu Zhan squinted his eyes slightly.

Various magic lamps, this technology has been rampant in this city to a degree that can be called abuse. The dazzle made Shu Zhan unable to open his eyes, and the actual impact it brought was more than just dazzling.

The city and its surroundings have gradually become thinner and thinner.

If we don't exercise restraint, a city that becomes a magic-free area due to too many light bulbs will appear.

Of course, these had nothing to do with Shu Zhan. After slightly adapting to the extremely dazzling light, Shu Zhan opened his eyes, waved the black flag, and started running towards the overly dazzling city in front of him together with the guards around him.

Shu Zhan's purpose for coming here is not that complicated, and he doesn't care about the future direction of this place. He comes here to create killing.

Amidst the distorted roar, Shu Zhan and his personal guards ran faster and faster. An unexpected surprise was about to be displayed in front of all the residents of this dazzling city.

In fact, even though the news that the rats came around and were approaching here had been sent here early, the residents of this city did not show too much panic.

There is a feeling that whatever needs to be done should be done. In fact, it is not surprising that these guys show such a reaction. After all, in the previous terrible turbulent years, the horrific war launched by various magic societies finally stopped in front of this capital.

They were not afraid, or rather, they were very calm.

In fact, they could have been so calm. After all, even if Shu Zhan roared through this area with a huge army, he had no intention of attacking the city at the beginning, and he should not have been able to take it down at all.

The city's peaceful inhabitants would not have suffered directly from the war.

It’s just a pity that what they encountered was a rat war.

A fellow who doesn't play by the rules, who could have imagined that Rat War would go to such great lengths to provoke a more intense response from the Ghost-Eyed People in the area and brazenly attack this City of Light just to carry out appropriate humiliation.

I'm afraid a large number of residents will have to pay the price for their mistakes.

Yes, this city has tall and solid walls, which are even much stronger and taller than the City of Surf in the Golden Province. The defenders on the city walls began to prepare when the news arrived not long ago.

After all, this is the capital of the Youyan people.

As long as the gate is closed, it basically means that the attacking party will return empty-handed.

But the Rat Warriors were not here to attack the city, they were only here to kill people.

The height and strength of the city walls could not withstand the establishment of some not-so-legitimate industries outside the city and the determination of some careless guys to take care of the poor girls as usual.

This matter is related to the Church of Light in the City of the Sun. The Church of Light has shown great determination in eradicating illegal industries in the city. In order to win over the Church of Light, the elderly emperor also chose to support this sweeping operation.

As a result, those unscrupulous industries quickly disappeared from the City of the Sun, because they quickly resumed their own businesses outside the city walls.

Even those churches that strictly enforce dogma must learn to adapt appropriately.

Now, these girls in need and the gentlemen who donated generously may have to experience some bad scenes.

It's not a big deal, except that the heads may have to be taken off and piled into a tower.
