"These treacherous guys deserve to die, deserve to die!"
"There is also the Holy Temple. Isn't it a promise that the undead will be defeated? Why are the undead still attacking?"
"It's all rubbish! Rubbish!"
A series of extremely angry roars sounded from the Rat Man Palace. The Rat Emperor seemed to be crazy, spitting and spitting, and green plague mist emitted from his body.
The waiters hid far away. Even if they were resistant to the plague, they did not dare to touch the poisonous mist emanating from the emperor.
The Rat King was in an extremely bad mood.
The undead clan brazenly launched an all-out war and caught him off guard.
When he went to the Holy Temple two days ago, he was still very confident and thought that he should put all his energy into dealing with the trolls.
Only a few days later, the undead tribe had already captured the city-state of Ilmaha.
Taking over the city-state of Irmaha is just the beginning. The undead tribe has not stopped. They are advancing across the board!
According to the battle reports sent from the front line, there are so many undead troops that there is no telling how many there are.
The quality of the undead warriors is not that of rented undead, but powerful undead troops with great combat effectiveness.
Life is not easy for the rat people.
In order to eliminate the trolls, their old rival, in one fell swoop, the Ratmen mobilized nearly one-third of their troops and devoted them to the troll battlefield.
Another third of the troops were invested in the battlefield against the Harpy.
It looks like one-third of the troops are left.
But this one-third of the troops were scattered across the vast territory of the rat tribe. After being distributed to various city-states, there was actually not much troops left in each city-state.
The city-state of Ilmaha, which is close to the undead tribe, has really not deployed many troops. In a sense, the city-state of Ilmaha's current defense is much better than that of other city-states.
How long could the city-state of Irmaha last?
Three days!
In just three days, it was defeated by the undead.
It cannot be said that there was no resistance at all, it is just that resistance had no effect.
Can this not make the emperor upset?
It is true that the Ratmen have a large population and have many advanced technologies in warfare, but they cannot withstand a three-front war.
Through trade with the Undead and leasing the Undead mercenary legions, the Rat Man Emperor also gained a deeper understanding of the Undead.
This is definitely not an ordinary weak race.
On the contrary, the undead are very powerful!
They have many advantages that other races do not have!
For example, undead warriors are almost sleepless and are more effective at night.
For example, the undead warriors have an almost endless loyalty to the Lord of the Undead, which cannot be divided or won over.
For example, because of its special appearance, it is impossible to plant spies among the undead.
For example, they don't need logistical supplies.
…
The numerous advantages made the Rat Man Emperor know that the Undead were no weaker than the Trolls and Harpies.
Dealing with trolls and harpies has already put the rat people into a difficult battle, and now adding the undead tribe to the mix is simply adding insult to injury.
What makes the Rat King even more heartbroken is that there are a large number of undead mercenaries in the Rat Man territory.
These mercenaries might bloom inside the territory at any time. He couldn't even imagine that scene.
In particular, there is a very special team among the mercenaries.
They are a special kind of undead. They hunt infected people faster than other undead legions, have stronger combat effectiveness, and are extremely expandable.
The infected people they hunt will quickly transform into undead and join their team.
At first, this behavior was a good thing.
But now, this is a reminder.
According to the knowledge of the Ratman Emperor, the number of people in this team has reached more than one million. It is a thunder buried in the territory of the Ratmen, a thunder that is more terrifying and dangerous than other mercenaries!
How could I be so blind as to want to hire this team in the first place?
The Rat King regretted it endlessly.
There is no regret medicine in the world. It is impossible to drive the tattooed bones out of the Ratman territory.
After the Undead tribe launched an all-out war, the royal think tank analyzed the current situation of the Ratmen and discovered to their horror that the Ratmen were on the verge of collapse.
If there is no way to deal with the undead, the rat race is likely to fall apart in this war.
There is even the risk of genocide.
This is the biggest crisis the rat people have ever experienced since they became powerful.
The royal think tank has calculated the current situation and found that the Ratmen's regiment is the most powerful in the Troll battlefield, with the best warriors, the most powerful weapons, and the results are also very great.
However, the Troll Battlefield Troops cannot return for reinforcements.
Once the troll battlefield is evacuated, the troll army is likely to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, rush into the rat people's territory, compress the rat people's front to the greatest extent, and have the ability to threaten the rat people's capital, the city-state of Buyirada.
The same is true on the Harpy side. It is impossible to get the regiment to evacuate the battlefield. The situation is even more severe than that on the Troll battlefield.
After the undead tribe launched a full-scale attack, the rat tribe would face the possibility of the mercenary group rebelling.
This means that the infected and demons will be left unchecked.
In other words, after the war with the undead, the Ratmen will still have to face the attacks of the infected and demons.
It is not the attack of three tribes that the rat emperor thought, but the attack of one more, or even two forces.
The rat race is about to face an unprecedented shock.
After venting his incompetent and furious roar, the Rat Man Emperor finally regained his composure, controlled the plague poisonous mist, absorbed it into his body again, and restored his usual majesty.
He hurriedly left the hall where he was and headed to the combat conference room.
In the combat conference room, the rat royal think tank and senior rat officers had been waiting for a long time.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The guard at the door opened the door and shouted inside.
When the Rat King came in, everyone was nervously studying the battlefield situation and analyzing strategic arrangements. The conference room was in a mess, mixed with the sounds of quarrels and abuses.
Seeing the emperor's arrival, the meeting room suddenly became silent. All the Ratmen looked at the emperor and saluted him.
"No need to salute, let's talk about the current situation. How can we solve the current trouble?" The rat-man emperor waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stand down. Without saluting, he hurriedly walked to the center and sat down, and asked the rat-men present.
road.
"Dear Emperor, I feel that we should contact the Holy Church and let the Holy Church solve this trouble and force the undead to retreat." An old rat man stepped forward and said tremblingly.
"Don't worry about the temple. They are of no use. I have already contacted them. They failed to stop the undead. Let's talk about something else." The Rat Man Emperor waved his hand and said unceremoniously.
"We can consider dedicating a part of the troops from the Troll battlefield and the Harpy battlefield to fight against the undead. As long as we can stop the opponent for a while and persist until the Troll battlefield determines the winner, we will have enough capabilities.
Come to deal with the undead." A middle-aged rat-man officer said firmly.
"You know what a fart! You must not transfer the legions from those two battlefields. That is a self-conscious grave. Once the legions are transferred, it means that we are unable to quickly solve the troubles on the troll battlefield, and the harpy is likely to use its flight advantage.
Break through our defenses and go straight to the capital, what will we do then?"
Before the Rat Man Emperor could speak, the people in the think tank were already shouting and cursing.
"Oh, this won't work, that won't work either. Your brain trust is so powerful, why don't we give you a solution!" The middle-aged rat-man officer was not used to the members of the rat-man brain trust and asked with a sneer.
"Okay, I'm asking you to discuss how to deal with the undead army, not to quarrel!" The Rat Man Emperor stopped the meaningless quarrel between the two parties with a dark face.
What time has this happened? The undead clan has come to fight, and they are still making noises. They really don’t care about the occasion!
Faced with the anger of the Rat Man Emperor, both parties ceased their activities in a tacit understanding, and all looked at the Emperor, waiting for him to come up with an idea.
The Rat Man Emperor pinched his rat whiskers, thought for a moment and said, "The troops on the Troll battlefield and the Harpy battlefield cannot move."
"Our son has already achieved rich results in the troll battlefield. We cannot give up those achievements at this time. That would be disrespectful to the dead son and would chill the hearts of the soldiers. At the same time, it may also make the soldiers sad.
The troll regained his composure."
"As for the harpies, the think tank is right. We cannot relax. Those harpies have an advantage that we do not have. They move too fast. If the troops on the battlefield are mobilized, they may be able to successfully break through.
"
"Order to mobilize legions from various city-states to reinforce the battlefield of the undead. Prioritize the city-states attacked by the undead to hold back the undead!"
The emperor gave the order while thinking.
"The emperor is wise!" the rat thinkers shouted one after another.
In their opinion, this is the best solution at the moment.
The Skaven Think Tank thinks so, but the Skaven officers don't think so.
They have always been at odds with the think tank, believing that the think tank is a group of rubbish that talks on paper and has no battlefield experience.
The real battlefield is far more difficult than the think tank imagined.
"Your Majesty, even if you mobilize the legions, you can't stop the undead legions. We can't drain all the legions from each city-state. The city-states will not allow us to do this." Immediately, a legion stood up and raised questions.
As an officer who rose up from the bottom, he has a deep understanding of the legions in each city-state.
The city-state legions have become corrupt. In order to deal with the troll battlefield and the harpy battlefield, almost all the elite legions from each city-state have been mobilized.
The remaining legions, in addition to those who have no pay, are old and weak, and have low combat effectiveness, are also composed of the second-generation officials and second-generation merchants who came to gild the army.
These legions are all legions that cannot go to the battlefield and have almost no combat effectiveness.
To be honest, for officers who know the following Skaven Legions, after opening the Troll Battlefield and the Harpy Battlefield, there are almost no corps available in the various city-states in the Skaven Territory.
Even if a group of legions are forcibly transferred there, they will only die and will not be able to stop the undead's attack.
Another thing is that the emperor has the final say of each city-state.
The Rat People have a city-state system. To put it bluntly, the capital Buyirada is the strongest and largest among the Rat People's city-states, so each city-state obeys.
But if the city-state really wants to completely sacrifice its own interests to fulfill the city-state of Buyilada, it is impossible.
The rat city-state is a relatively independent existence.
During the troll battlefield, they promised that after conquering the trolls, they would bring huge benefits to each city-state, so they mobilized the elite legions and high-end weapons in each city-state.
When the Harpy was on the battlefield, it was to protect the territory of the rat people, and the rat people's territory was relatively safe. The emperor had to talk about it for a long time before letting each city-state send troops.
Now that the undead are attacking, they want all the city-states to send troops. How is it possible?
Even if it is an order from the emperor, the city-state will refuse it!
The remaining soldiers are all unreliable, and they have to be mobilized, which is equivalent to putting each city-state into a dilemma of having no available soldiers. If there is a sneak attack by the undead, they will really be unable to resist even if they resist.
.
It’s strange that people agreed!
The rat officers felt that the emperor was too optimistic.
"No, we must mobilize the troops from each city-state. We have no other way!"
"Send me the emperor's order to force the mobilization of troops."
The Rat Emperor interrupted the Rat Officer's next explanation and said forcefully.
Each rat emperor has three powers of compulsory orders. Once used, each city-state must abide by the compulsory orders unconditionally.
This is also one of the reasons why the rat people can always be strong, and it also prevents the rat people city-states from rebelling.
If any city-state fails to abide by the power of coercive orders, other city-states can besiege it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Emperor, even if we forcefully mobilize troops, it is impossible to stop the undead. The strength of our remaining corps is really too weak!" The rat-man officer was extremely anxious.
said.
He felt that the emperor didn't understand what he meant.
This is no longer a matter of forced mobilization of troops, but a matter of useless mobilization of troops.
Is it possible to really count on the old, weak, sick, disabled and veteran soldiers?
If this is the case, it is better to just open the city gate and welcome the undead into the city.
"You think this emperor didn't think of it?"
"Do you think this emperor doesn't know about your bad things?"
"Just because I don't say it doesn't mean I don't know clearly."
"First mobilize the troops and let them stop the undead!"
The Rat King became angrier as he spoke.
As the actual controller of the rat people, how could he not know anything.
The emperors of the rat tribe were never fools. They deeply understood the importance of the army and always paid attention to its movements.
The emperor knew very well what the rat tribe's army looked like.
He knew that the elite troops were gone, and the remaining one-third of the rat army was unreliable.
But now, no matter how unreliable it is, you still have to step up, otherwise it will really be over.
He needs this crap to buy him a little time.
"What else can the emperor do?" A rat officer asked in confusion.
"Pass me the second emperor's order to forcefully mobilize the private soldiers of the noble ratmen and rush to the battlefield of the undead."
When the Rat King said these words, a sneer appeared on his face.
It’s not that the Ratmen don’t have an army, but that at least half of the elites of the Ratmen are in the hands of nobles!
Those are all private soldiers raised by nobles using their own financial resources!
The combat effectiveness of these private soldiers is even more powerful than the elite corps of the Ratmen.
The nobles usually show their teeth and show their claws, but it is because of the protection of these private soldiers that they can be unscrupulous.
Sometimes the elders and nobles would even threaten the emperor, also because they had private soldiers.
This time I will make you spit it out!
Justified.
The rat race has reached its most critical moment.
This is when the nobles used it to make offerings.
Otherwise, he will die in the hands of the Rat King because he resisted the forced order, or else, he will die on the battlefield fighting the undead.
The former will be nailed to the rack of shame of the rat people, while the latter will be treated as a hero.
one stone two bird.
Not only did we deal with the undead, but we also killed those ignorant nobles and elders. How great.
Upon hearing the emperor's words, the officers were stunned.
They are also nobles!
The emperor is asking them to die!
Too careless!
While the rat officers were at a loss, the rat thinkers were happy, and they all hurriedly shouted that the emperor was wise.
"Okay, it's settled."
The emperor ignored the officers whose faces became extremely ugly, stood up, and left the war conference room.
