The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 6

There are some things that you won’t know until you try them out. After the team set off, Ickert realized just how low the Ratman’s organization was.

A group of mice that seemed to be well-equipped could only crookedly guard the convoy, and noisy conversations and complaints were always unavoidable during the journey.

"Master! Master! We really can't walk! Everyone is hungry! Hungry!"

A scrawny slave rat begged for another morsel of food from its master.

"Hungry so quickly? You slaves! Didn't I see the meal you had in the morning? That's almost enough food for 100 people!"

Ickert sternly reprimanded that, in fact, he knew the setting well in his previous life. The rat people's bodies have been plagued by black hunger for a long time. Their metabolism is too fast and they are very prone to hunger, so they are extremely dependent on food.

Especially these slave rats who have never eaten decent food. Compared with humans, these rat people may have to eat 4-5 meals a day to be satisfied. If they eat like this, the team will be short of food before they reach the territory!

Moreover, the society of the rat people is very neurotic. Each rat is a collection of the dark side of human beings. The normal way of treating humans is useless to the rat people. The slave rats will regard him as crazy.

Facing this kind of creature, what you have to do is to remain vicious and suppress, so that the mice under your command will not make some big news when you are not prepared.

"Listen to you slaves! I said that if you march for [-] miles, you must not miss a single step! If you don't finish at noon, your lunch will be halved! Dinner is the same! If you want to have a good meal, just hurry!"

"Lunch cut in half! No! No! Hurry up. Yes! Yes! Master, please, please rest assured!"

After finally getting these annoying rats to move, Ickert felt tired.

Aris on the side was very surprised to see this scene.

"Master Ickert, the way you get along with your summoned objects is really special."

"Ha, there's nothing strange about it. It can only be said that everyone's summons are different, but I'm always happy to communicate with them in a gentle way."

"You are such a dignified nobleman, Master Ickert, I can feel your love for the summoned objects from the lines."

"No way, who made me their summoner!"

He said so copingly, but Ickert was already thinking about how to deal with the ratmen under him. The Skaven ratmen really lack obedience in their bones.

"By the way, Aris, have you ever been to the front line?"

Riding on a dirt road in the countryside, Ickert couldn't help asking.

Although the academy trained him as a special "Mage on the Frontier", the front line is always a long way away, and Ickert has no chance to go there.

"Master Ickert, I have been to the territory behind the front line, but I don't know the real front line."

Aris replied that the empire's long-term war needs have created many business opportunities, and the General Logistics Office alone certainly cannot meet all the needs of the frontline territories, which has given many people opportunities.

"But it's okay, I just want to understand the environment of the territory a little bit."

"Good young master, let me just say this. The situation in the frontline territory is basically the same as other territories in the empire, except that each lord has to undertake more military tasks, but the population there is always less than that in the empire, and some of them are weaker. even only the lord and a few of his servants”

In the past, the concept of "Great Frontier" did not exist in the world, until a mage accidentally exposed the world coordinates, attracting countless foreigners to try to invade the world.

Not every plane is full of hope. This fertile continent is the dawn in the darkness. Foreign races rushed down from the north like a natural disaster, and drove many races living there to the south.

The surviving forces of order finally established a defense line stretching across the continent, and the defense was organized by the forces of various countries, which blocked their soldiers.

Invasive species, undead, orcs, corruption, the threats are too numerous to count.

Moreover, since the establishment of the Great Front, civilizations on the mainland have rarely explored north.

"The frontline territory is surrounded by goblins and gnolls, and some territories are also affected by orcs and undead creatures. Although our caravan has traveled to the frontline several times, the danger is too great."

Aris said that it was a bit of a headache. The frontline business routes were full of opportunities, but for the Chamber of Commerce of the Shaprao family, the risk of extinction was far greater than the opportunities.

Without enough strength, let alone carrying out trade on the front line, it is not easy to get out alive.

"I probably understand."

The front line sounds very reliable, but after all, it is composed of countless fortresses, the defense range is too wide, and it lacks long-range weapons such as artillery.

It is not so much a line of defense as it is a group of fortresses connected by many points.

Eckert estimated that the frontline territory set up by the empire was only enough to defend the supply line, and the vast wilderness around the territory was the territory of monsters.

Since it is full of monsters, fighting is indispensable.

Sure enough, the convoy was attacked on the fourth day of departure.

A group of poorly dressed goblins blocked the convoy's path, and stones thrown from both sides of the bushes threw the entire team into chaos.

Watching the Rats being beaten up by the Goblins who were even shorter than them, Ickert fell into deep thought.

Sure enough, Shushu is Shushu. Once they fall into panic, the Shushu, who put survival first, will throw away their helmets and armor without hesitation.

"Master Ickert! There are too many of these green gadgets! Caravan guards can't handle it!"

Aris shouted, really didn't expect these little things to spread to such a place.

They have just walked out of the emperor and are not far away!

And considering the protection of Ickert's summons, Baron Orwell did not arrange enough guards for the caravan.

After all, there are too many people to eat, and this is also to provide more food for the initial development of Ickert.

There are only eight guards in the entire caravan. Although they are all well-equipped and it is quite easy to kill goblins, it is nonsense for them to really protect the entire caravan.

While some goblins were holding back the guards, other goblins were frantically trying to snatch the supplies.

Ordinary caravan members are not strong enough, so they can only wave their swords and try to drive them away, but they are destined to be useless.

"It seems that we still have to do it!"

To be honest, I haven't done it myself all the way, and Ickert's hands are quite itchy, so I can exercise my muscles and bones at this time.

Picking up the staff with his right hand, he quickly built a spell model in his mind, and a scorching fireball began to form at the tip of the staff.

Finally, it must be accompanied by a magic spell to strengthen the magic activity.

"I tm ejaculated!"

Magic unleashed!The target is aimed at Shushu!
