  Chapter 411: Cognition of the Skaven Threat
  The castle was in a panic by the sudden appearance of iron projectiles. In the past few years, the usual impression made the soldiers think that the rats in Pestilen only had plague claws and stone throwing. Cars, and inferior slings that even leather armor couldn't penetrate.

  But these precise and deadly iron projectiles cannot be faked. Only creatures that have specialized in this for a long time can hit the enemy accurately and with such power.

  "Stop firing the flamethrower!"

  Without the sergeant's order, the pyromaniac who was left alone had stopped pulling the trigger and shrank his head in the bunker to avoid the coming second round of shooting.

  The keen-eyed Raskol poked his head out and immediately found some sneaky figures behind the large number of plague rats. Different from the rats he encountered before, the bodies of these rats were particularly slender and flexible, and their fur was much smoother.

  "Damn it, it must be the ratmen from the old world." Rascal gritted his teeth and growled. The Plague Clan alone was already difficult enough. If the rats from the old world joined here, the City in the Sky might soon fall.

  If the offensive and defensive battle around the Sky City was still clear, the encounters in the southern forest sea began to become particularly cruel. In the past, the Sotek sect relied on the nature of the jungle residents, whether it was concealment or the environment. In terms of adaptation, they can often gain tactical advantages over the rats.

  But since some rats covered in black cloth appeared, the situation changed. Many scouts were beheaded, leaving pieces of scaled skin hanging on the trees, and the remains that had been chewed into bones were piled on the spot, as if to pay tribute to them. The emotionless, cold-blooded species announces the arrival of fear.

  Tehenhoin, who was the initiator of the Lustria Holy War, could feel all this. The fanatics stood quietly on the top of the Sky City Pyramid, watching everything happening in the jungle.

  The Sotek Legion has all been dispatched, and several red-crowned skink leaders with legendary glory are fighting with the rats. The snakes are making hoarse sounds, and the jungle is also wailing, lamenting that all this happened to the eldest son of the ancient saint.

  The large lapis lazuli basin used as a sacrifice to Sotek had broken into pieces and turned into tiny fragments that melted into the blood of the rats.

  The snake god prophet understood that Imrik needed to complete the sixth and seventh sacrifices, and now his mission was just to wait for everything to arrive.

  As the long-awaited prophet of the serpent god, Imrik is still leading his troops in the jungle. Reports have come from the front line that a large number of Skaven clans from the old world have appeared on the battlefield to make up for the plague clan. In addition to not being afraid of death, There is no distinctive way of war.

  Although he couldn't figure out how these rats bypassed the encirclement of the Etain Navy and came to Lustria, the Dragon Prince felt that this was not a difficult matter. The difficulty was how to find the rat people in the underground tunnels. .

  As long as it is a frontal battlefield, Imric believes that the coalition composed of Caledor and Lizardmen can crush any race in the mortal world. Even if Gilles leads two hundred Bretonnian Holy Grail Knights to hedge, he will die. Under the power of the stick.

  "Prince, we have detected some Skaven troops hiding in the jungle. They should be scouts." A dragon prince came to Imric, still riding a tall horse even in the jungle.

  For several years, the advance team and Pestilen continued to compete for control of the route from Chapeiutto to the City in the Sky. The result was that neither side actually controlled this necessary marching road.

  Because Masno directly asked the pyromancer to burn a passage in the jungle and wipe all the ground suitable for rats to hide, the scorched earth became an integral part of this path of blood.

  It can be said that there is a corpse of a rat buried under every meter of road that we walk on. "Get rid of them. The rats are as hateful as Druzi. They are the most rubbish existence in the world. Only when they die can the air be fresher." When Imrik explained the instructions, he cursed Druzi. , if you want to describe how bad a person is in Caledo, then Druchi is the best person to describe it. What bullshit elf racial consciousness, only when Druchi dies, the world will be cleaner.

  "Yes." After the Dragon Prince accepted the order, he led a group of people straight into the depths of the dense forest.

  The march of a total of 20,000 people was extremely slow, with stops and starts along the way. During the rest, the magic swordsmen headed by Ogusge became very interested in the physiological structure of the rat men.

  After catching a few ratmen who were still alive, they couldn't wait to conduct an anatomy experiment in the camp for research purposes.

  The end result is that Oggsg's view of the Skaven has changed dramatically, a terrifying creature born for evil purposes.

  The body structure is not strong, but the thick hind legs have extremely strong explosive power. The joints can move flexibly. The claws that can tear the leather armor are enough to climb anywhere. The sharp incisors are like blades, even if they cannot penetrate the thick material. The iron plate can also tear off a large piece of flesh from an enemy who lacks protection.

  Coupled with an extraordinarily powerful digestive system and extremely small stomachs, this means that these rat men are hungry for a long time.

  A race that can reproduce in large numbers, has a very short growth cycle, and is always hungry. Any place occupied by it will soon become a lifeless restricted area.

  After all, Augsger saw with his own eyes that the hungry brown rat used for experiments swallowed the flesh and blood of its own race without hesitation.

  "His Royal Highness the Dragon Prince, I am glad that you are so concerned about this race that Ulthuan has not yet paid attention to. I believe that after this report is sent to Saffrey, Lord Berannar will also support your actions." Augsger rode alongside Imric, talking rather emotionally about the report he just wrote yesterday.

  He came to Lustria out of respect for Alfonso and friendship with Davian, but he didn't expect to encounter a threat worthy of high attention.

  The second-ranking magic swordsman could vaguely feel that these rat men were the cancer of the world, eating away at the world that Asul had been protecting for thousands of years.

  Imrik also quite agreed with Augsig's words. The most important thing was that he was greedy for him. Those who could become Hoth Demonic Swordsmen were all specializing in both magic and martial arts. Only those who had no future. Talents will be sent to the mage sequence, or to the team of Hoth Sword Saints who serve as the archmage's bodyguards.

  If you can get him to work under you, it will be a rare help.

  "Asur always thinks that Caledor's mission is to protect Ulthuan, but he doesn't know that the real threats are already distributed in every corner of the world. We need to kill these enemies hidden in the darkness, leaving no one behind. Eradicate it." Looking at Ogusge's thoughtful expression, Imrik continued to confuse,
  "Only in this way can Asul continue to dominate the world, and only in this way can all races understand who is here. Saved this world six thousand years ago, and will do the same in the future!"
