The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 225 Marching East
In order to obtain the endless resources underground, and to win the war to start industrialization, the entire highly organized Windsor quickly mobilized.

Even with the addition of the ratmen imported from Xinliangyue, the entire Windsor would have about [-] ratmen.

It was in such a small mouth that Ickert successfully mobilized 1500 magic gun mice, 120 artillery mice, 36 dimensional gun-carrying weapon teams, 12 dimensional flamethrower weapon teams, and 52 through the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Love Education Camp. Only dare to die rats, plus a professional logistics team composed of three hundred rats and a large number of livestock, as well as low-level rat man labor that can be recruited at any time.

In a short period of time, the territory has built a total of 800 guards' combat forces, including one cavalry company, three skirmisher companies, and three grenadier companies.

In addition, the remaining 700 Ratmen and the 500 Ratmen to be recruited in the future were organized into two line infantry battalions and became the main force on the front line. Two light artillery companies and two heavy artillery companies were responsible for supporting the entire infantry. , and a battery of rocket launchers.

Ickert also equipped the army with enough musicians. A military band composed of two hundred ratmen would play drums and bugles during the attack.

The tune used by Ickert is also the majestic "La victoire està nous" (Victory belongs to us), which is more suitable for the attack of the large corps than the cheerful grenadier march.

Each guard mouse is equipped with a fur hat hunted in the jungle, and is equipped with a semicircular iron forehead decoration customized from the Skaven world, which can also play a certain protective role.

Then there was the white uniform from Ross Sodol, with crimson trim and brass buttons, and a dark blue jacket.

Ordinary Ratman soldiers are more casual. After all, in Ickert’s plan, it’s okay for them to die in battle. If they don’t die, they will be disarmed in the end. Therefore, they are only equipped with uniform uniforms and basic harness.

The First Army formed by the Guards and the Conscription Corps is all the frontal combat forces of the Ratmen today. This kind of troops has already shocked Ickert. As a small territory, it is really rare to have such power.

But if he devotes all his power to the war against the underground, basically his family fortune will be lost for half a year, and he doesn't even have a numerical advantage!
So what Ickert has to do now is to use this force to grab enough population to fill the gradually vacant productivity of the territory and hoard a large amount of cannon fodder for attack.

"Clan Chief! The troops have been assembled and are only waiting for your order!"

Today, Targaryen, who was promoted to the Chief of Staff of the Army Group, reported to Ickert that behind him was a fully ammunition and well-disciplined ratman army.

Unlike any Ratman army in the past, the corps in the territory now undoubtedly has higher morale and organization. In the case of insufficient Ratmen, it will definitely be able to exert a stronger combat effectiveness.

With such a powerful army, Ikert confidently drew out his command knife:

"Go! Go east!"

"Yes! Clan Chief! The First Army! Marching in column! Cross the river quickly!"

All the Ratmen were quickly mobilized by Targaryen. The troops, with cavalry and skirmishers as the vanguard, quickly passed the pontoon bridge assumed by boats and planks. Followed by the supporting forces, the whole process was in order.

Except for a small number of accidents, there was basically no large-scale chaos.

In the territory, the logistics of the army also followed the army on the road, and the animals of the caravans from various places were also rented by the army for subsequent transportation.

It wasn't until the army set off that the people coming and going figured out Ickert's real intentions.

Many people had speculated before that Windsor's growing army wanted to go north to ask for the fief, and some even thought that Ickert wanted to launch a rebellion and go down the river to take Donali.

As long as it is done properly, there may be a chance to fight all the way to Hostarog, which is less than [-] kilometers away from the imperial capital, and enter the king of Duqin.

Now it seems that he just wants to completely wipe out the wolf man in the east and open up the living space of the territory.

"It's boring, it's gone."

The people who eat melons expressed their boredom one after another. Since there is no fun to watch, then let life get back on track.

The forces of all parties have also withdrawn their close attention to Windsor. The spies finally had a meal together and went to other places to perform tasks.

It's just that they are all wondering why people in this territory like to fight with fire sticks.

The news of the troops marching into the jungle was naturally not hidden from the gnolls in the forest kingdom. In fact, Ikert had no intention of hiding it from them.

He was going to sweep everything away.

If they can't even do this, then the Ratmen don't have to go underground to find someone to fight with guns. If they just stay on the surface and live on the surface for a few more years, the mud will be almost the same.

The chasseurs frantically beheaded the boar riders of the gnolls in the jungle, and countless elite soldiers fell under the shooting of their carbines.

Small troops were sent out to meet them, the tribal warriors raised their spears, the chasseurs pulled at a distance to shoot targets, the tribal warriors charged, and the skirmishers lined up to slaughter.

In less than a day, the entire western border of the forest kingdom collapsed, and more than a dozen gathering places were completely destroyed. The first army plundered a large number of jackals and more than two hundred human slave labor to fill the industrial chain.

Countless magic crystals and iron and steel resources were pulled back to the Ministry of Industry in the rear, and the supply team came with a full load and returned with a full load.

Even some couldn't get it, Ikert didn't expect that the wolves in the east would be so rich.

Until then, the high priest Saqqara, who was concentrating on the construction of the temple, received the news of the enemy's attack.

"Sentry! Report the total number of people on the other side again!"

"Great Priest, I don't know!"

"do not know!"

The high priest angrily raised his scepter and struck the ground hard.

"Do you want to say that you wasted 500 tribal warriors! Only more than 300 vanguards were detected!
You were even wiped out!
The sun god is on!What blasphemy!You will pay the price for your dereliction of duty! "

Sakala raised his cane, indicating that the sentry would be sacrificed together with the deserters outside the temple.

It wasn't that he didn't know the seriousness of the matter. In fact, he knew very well that since the opponent's combat power was so strong, a mere 500 people would naturally not be able to shake them.

But in a theocracy, no matter what it wants to fight or build, holding sacrifices is the best way to mobilize and increase the morale of the people.

Saqqara has already thought about the lines after the sacrifice. He punished those who blasphemed the gods of the country to show the gods his attitude towards governing the country and inform the world of the gods' anger against the invasion.

Finally, further sacrifices to pray for the power of the gods will naturally mobilize the jackals in the world and increase morale.

Thinking of this, Saqqara, who knew that there would be no delay, decided to organize a sacrifice immediately.

Give the despicable invaders a head-on blow!
