The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 179 The Murloc by the River

When a cow dies, the owner doesn't think of a way to have a good meal. Instead, he just stands there at a loss. What's the use of mourning?

Of course, it is necessary for the cave monitor lizard to integrate with the partners in the territory and live in everyone's stomach forever!

This is the life of livestock.

No one was surprised.

The smiling people in the territory were also able to enjoy a feast of monsters.

The high-level rat people are naturally eligible to enjoy it, but the fattest parts are still served on the party table of the mages.

The magic crystal of the cave monitor adorned the dining table in the castle, and even its skull was preserved.

After drinking and eating enough, everyone who ate the meat of the monster also replenished their energy, and everyone can better devote themselves to the next work.

Before the transmission system was completed, Ickert let the mages directly drive it, and then taught the workers to actually operate the machine tools.

In his spare time, he also had to formulate plans for expeditions.

The cave monitor lizard is dead, but the territory's demand for high-level animal power has never stopped.

This time to clean up the monsters, we must also find a way to catch some new animals to supplement our labor.

In the office, Ickert picked up the relevant materials that Aris had compiled.

Not only the past records, but also the recent rewards that need to be solved urgently, which are very comprehensive.

What's even more beautiful is that he also took back all these bounties!
Although it is inevitable that there will be rewards that Ickert can't handle, but the task is just a rubbing, and it doesn't matter if it can't be completed.

With these records, Ickert's cleanup operations will be more purposeful.

Of course, this cleanup operation actually has to pass through many territories, which is really not justifiable for Ickert, who has no military access.

Fortunately, the documents that the emperor took back the sovereignty of the river were still kept in the castle.

Although the output of paper made from animal leather is not high, it is quite good in terms of storage stability.

Ickert, who has the endorsement of the "imperial decree", naturally has nothing to say.

Leaving the trusted grenadier battalion to defend the territory, Ickert only led the cavalry and hunting soldiers to form an expeditionary force and embarked on the journey.

For the subordinate rat hunters, this expedition is considered good news.

Because their mount "Jackal" was put into the battlefield for the first time.

It's a pity that the level of domestication of jackals is not high at present, so they can only undertake the duty of transportation.

With sufficient intelligence support, Ickert set off with only five days of water and food and a large number of empty cloth pockets.

The supply along the way is mainly by hunting the monsters in the jungle, recycling the valuable parts of the corpses, and eating the rest.

After finishing the cleaning, he sold the furs of Warcraft in Donali, and boasted about his experience in the bar, making the merchants realize the value of this business route.

Eckert seemed to see a steady stream of gold coins, from the Vanvna River to the Windsor Territory.

For this hunting, he even used four jackals to pull up the only artillery in the territory.

The casting of the second cannon had already begun, so he didn't need to worry about defense.

In addition, there is a support force composed of three death rats and a dimensional gun.

Chasseurs and Chasers are also equipped with enough bows, crossbows and spears, which can be said to be almost an ultra-low configuration version of the large square.

The first target Ickert and the others encountered was a manic jungle bear.

This is a powerful monster with fourth-order strength entrenched on the periphery of Windsor.

It's not something that can be easily hunted by a mage alone.

Of course, it's different with guns.

He didn't even use the primordial stone armor-piercing bullets last time, and Ickert smashed him to death with solid bullets only by himself.

On the first day, all the rat people who participated in the operation had a good time.

During the cleaning process, the Ratmen of the Love Clan were disciplined, and the advantage of following orders also saved Ikett a lot of trouble.

For an ordinary army, after eliminating a Tier [-] monster, it is inevitable to stop and hone its work for a while.

But Ickert's ratmen spread out quickly, completed the kill, skillfully skinned, harvested materials, then cut the flesh, and finally left without any memory to go to the next target point.

Only at a fixed meal time, these war machines will stop for a little repair.

After two days of trekking, Ickert has fully understood the local monster ecology, harvested a large number of magic crystals, and still has a lot of commissions waiting to be settled.

Fortunately, the first territory passed by seemed to be deserted, which gave Ickert and others a perfect opportunity to walk through.

But in the second territory, the expeditionary force encountered a problem.

A large group of murlocs surrounded Godelberg.

Murlocs can also be considered as one of the invasive species. This group of water-based disgusting races haunts rivers and shallows, uses tools and weapons made from shells, and likes to harass cowardly and servile farmers.

The village and castle of Gödelberg were surrounded by this large group of murlocs.

The number is about five hundred, and these races with average combat power are quite productive, and hundreds of them can pop out in one summer.

Obviously, the hundreds of farmers in the village and their lords have been scared to pee.

Behind the solid city walls of Gödelberg, Valaj silently took off his soaked pants, and changed into a drier skirt with the help of his servants.

It's normal for men to wear skirts, it's just a legacy of Northern Cyprus.

Besides, aren't skirts originally meant for men?
Skirts aside, the lord of Gödelberg was clearly in serious trouble.

"What's going on? Why did this group of disgusting big-eyed salted fish attack human territory for no reason?"

In Gödelberg, a place where murlocs are infested, it is normal for people in the village to be attacked occasionally.

But this group of stunned youths generally don't have the guts to surround the gathering place, after all, they are murlocs who can be chased away by the militia!
This is true under normal circumstances, but even weak and funny murlocs will have racial highlights.

Among these murlocs, a murloc prophet was born.

The Murloc Prophet is a natural spellcaster adapted to this world, and his name is Dassault Red Shell.

Dassault Red Shell is an ambitious murloc. He wants to expand the murloc territory and wipe out the humans entrenched here.

For Godelberg, who only had two or three big cats and kittens, the threat of these murlocs was real.

The reason is that Gothenburg has a total population of [-], and it is too much to raise three soldiers. There are only the lord, two family servants, ten castle guards, and twenty training militiamen.

Facing the murlocs who had an absolute numerical advantage, such a traditional and weak organizational form was simply unable to cope with the military pressure on the front line.

Perhaps the lord can always rely on the castle to escape the catastrophe, but the lord may have to die cleanly.

Unless the high-level professionals in the territory are brave and good at fighting, but from the current point of view, this seems unrealistic.

It was a coincidence that the expeditionary army appeared here.

Facing his companions who are in desperate need of help, Ickert couldn't help but come up with a plan.
