The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 43
As Eckert said before, the slave rat is just a consumable, and it is a super consumable that consumes a lot and consumes extremely fast.

There is a high probability that a slave rat will not survive a year. If he survives for a few years, he will be considered a long-lived slave rat.

Ah no, for Shushu, it should be said that it is lucky to live so long, because to survive the production activities of "sustainable depletion and fishing", it needs more than a strong body and a smart mouse brain .

All that said, it's easy to consume a slave rat, but what about producing one?

Easier!
Here, we have to mention the "women" in the Ratman society.

Just now, led by the clan rats, Ickert came to the "breeding pit", where the most precious "mother rat" in the clan was stored.

Yes, although the Skaven can be regarded as mammals with sexual reproduction, they do not have a large-scale female group like the civilized society on the surface.

Instead, there was a slowly wriggling, huge meat mountain.

That kind of thing, in Ickert's opinion, can only be called a lump, not a mother mouse!
The fat body like a hill exudes a stench of corruption and corruption. It can barely be seen that it is the face of the Rat Man with his eyes closed, as if he is asleep.

They have been in a coma for a long time, and the specially castrated eunuch slave rats are responsible for injecting them with hypnotic potions and reproductive-enhancing drugs on a regular basis, so that they can become complete reproductive machines.

The food is forced to be pumped into the broodmother's body through the pipe, and some digestive medicine is mixed in it, and the excrement is also regularly pumped out of the pipe by the eunuch rats.

In this scene, even the most "heroic" Fu Ruikong will shake his head, and he can't even give birth to the slightest reproductive desire.

The same is true for Ratmen.

If it weren't for the "hormone" that lures the Ratman from the broodmother all the time, there would be no Ratman's urge to reproduce.

The research of the Rat People has turned them into the most suitable tools for war.

Ikert could feel that the Ratmen around him were almost unable to restrain themselves, and they prayed to Ickert for the "right to mate."

Yes, mating rights are also very precious to rat people. Although female rats have unimaginable production efficiency, there are always more rats than enough.

Moreover, mating rights are also one of the important means for the clan leaders to control the rats under them. Some rats will burn out their brains because of estrus, and that is the time to handle them!
Since all the ratmen who had the right to mate before were killed by Ickert, he had to allow the new rats to go to the clan to carry out the "breeding business" of the clan.

An extremely blasphemous carnival was staged right in front of him.

Eckert couldn't describe the evil in it. He wanted to feel angry, but he could only despair in the face of the dark reality.

This is the true face of the Skaven.

A group of evil races that are dark, chaotic, dirty, and profane to the point of "a hundred flowers blooming".

But any normal person would not want to have anything to do with these guys.

Ickert even began to wonder if he was still a normal person when he came into contact with the rat people.

But the reality can no longer allow him to think so much. In short, what he has to do now is to use the ratmen as orderly as possible to develop his own power.

On the side of the mother mouse, the carnival of the rat people is over.

It should be said that "being terminated" is more appropriate. If Ickert hadn't ordered the eunuch rats to forcibly pick off the clan rats and storm rats, they would probably die of exhaustion on the mother rat's belly.

Under the influence of hormones, even the most powerful Skaven warlords are at risk of dying in reproduction, and the strong biological impulse will drive them to keep moving until they die.

At the same time, the multi-rat breeding activity has made the fertilization rate of the female mouse almost [-]%, and it will not take long for this broodmother to give birth to a litter of mice.

Provided there is sufficient food, it only takes about five months for these little mice to develop into full-fledged skavens.

At that time, the eunuchs will carefully identify their fur, and those weak and miscellaneous mice will be labeled as slave mice immediately, and will be thrown into the mine pit after being raised.

The ones with neater fur will be selected again and supplemented as clan rats. If they do not need to be supplemented, they will be thrown into the mine pit together and become slave rats.

Of course, clans are always looking to expand, so most brown-fur rats will become clan rats.

And the black-furred, strong squirrels can become storm squirrels. They are natural fighters among the rat people and the backbone of the clan's fighting power.

In addition, among the newborn rats, there will be some rats with white fur and strange horns. These rats are called gray prophets. They are born rat-man spellcasters, and they have an appearance that is very close to the horned rats. feature.

Generally speaking, gray seers born in all clans must be sent to the gray seer clan for spellcasting education.

This is the reproduction method that the Ratman pursues. The reason why Ickert pays attention to this is that Ickert hopes to realize the natural development of Rats in the territory, instead of spending a lot of money to summon Rats every time there is a lack of Rats.

But with such a bad breeding method, if you go to the main world, you might be labeled as a cultist and tied to the stake to burn your ashes.

As the saying goes, if you get right, you will get more help, but if you are wrong, you will get little help. If you do this in a world with basic moral concepts, you will not end well.

Ikert needs female rats, but what he needs are normal female rats, not this kind of pure breeding machine.

Not to mention that although the female rat in front of him is very fertile, she can't take care of herself at all. A female rat needs at least [-] to [-] eunuch rats to take care of her. How can he afford so much labor.

What he wants is a mother rat who can not only participate in labor, but also undertake the task of racial reproduction like a peasant woman.

But it's a pity that the female mouse in front of me is already in its original state.

Just like the queen ant, the female mouse will turn into a huge physical uterus after reaching sexual maturity at the age of two, and will not become the so-called "mouse ear mother".

If you want the ratmen in the territory to have the ability to reproduce, the huge female ratman in front of you is a hurdle that you can't get around.

But Ikert thought of another possibility.

Rats are actually very similar to humans.

Some upper-class Ratmen also covet the beauty of slaves of other races, so they will have a demand for more lustful female Ratmen.

As far as Eckert knows, those really high-level rats will raise their own beautiful female rats.

As long as there is such a demand, the industrialized Skaven society will provide corresponding services.

What Eckert needs to think about now is how to get this service?
It's actually not hard to think about it. This group of mice who have been with the Dimension Stone for a long time has such a huge base, so it is not surprising that there are any mutations.

Although the effects of most of the mutations are negative, it is not guaranteed that there will be good mutations among them.

Moreover, the biotechnology of the Ratman is also very powerful. Ickert suspects that most of the private female rats may be transformed from ordinary rats.

After all, he can create a sewing monster like the abomination of the pit of hell, and it shouldn't be a problem to sew a beautiful female mouse.

It's a pity that technology has always only served the rich, and the cost of customization is definitely not low. This road is not suitable for the poor.

Ever since, Ickert's eyes finally aimed at the mutation.
