The social structure of the Skaven is simple, with the entire underground kingdom made up of countless different clans that occupy their own nests and are connected to each other through complex underground tunnels.

The highest leader of these clans is the Chief, and below him are the most elite Storm Rats, who have the best equipment in the clan's armory, and generally serve as the Chief's attendants and bodyguards.

These sturdy rats are born larger and more aggressive than other young rats, and they will even feed on their weaker counterparts as they eat in order to get their strongest bodies.

Storm Rats are the main components of Skaven's army, the Clan Rats, they are a little shorter than ordinary humans, they have a cowardly personality, they are afraid of the weak, and they will bully those slave rats who are weaker than themselves when they have the opportunity.

Slave rats are the lowest level of nezumi society, and as the name suggests, they are the slaves of the nezumi, most of whom are weak rat people who were enslaved from birth, and some are captives obtained during civil wars with other clans.

The life of these slave rats is very short and cruel, if there is a battle, they will be sent to the front line of the battlefield, as cannon fodder to attract enemy fire, if there is no fight, they will not stop working until they die.

They are engaged in a variety of jobs including mining ores, digging tunnels, and producing food, and may be dragged to the laboratory to be the best candidates for biochemical experiments, genetic engineering, or weapon testing, and when the clan is short of food, they will also be used as reserve food for other powerful nezumi to eat, which is even worse than the little farts of the Greenskin Tribe.

Standing in front of the stone now should be the lowliest slave rat.

According to the Squigg jumper who returned, they were exploring in a dark tunnel at the time, and they had walked a long way without seeing the end, and were about to go home, when they suddenly heard a loud noise, and saw a large hole in the wall not far in front of them, and a large group of black shadows emerged from it, there were hundreds of them.

These black shadows looked like big rats standing up, all of them were in shabby, gray-haired, and holding hoes used to dig up the dirt, and the expressions on their faces showed that this group of uninvited guests did not know what was happening.

The rest was very simple, the Squigg jumper would not be polite to these sudden appearance of the rat cubs, and directly brandished his weapon and rushed forward.

A bloody and short battle broke out in the dim tunnel, relying on the nimble cave Squigg under the crotch and the sophisticated equipment, the night goblin boys killed each other to the ground, especially after the two strongest nezumi were killed, the remaining rats immediately cried and scattered in all directions, but how did they run through the cave Squiger, they were all chased and killed, and the only way to live was the nezumi in front of them.

These Squiggie riders also realized that this group of rat people must not appear here for no reason, and deliberately left a job to prepare to ask the truth, but the problem is that as soon as the rat opened its mouth, it was a series of strange screams and trills, which they couldn't understand at all, so they had to clean up the battlefield and block the broken hole with rubble, leaving two people to watch, and the rest of the people immediately returned to the fortress.

Just as they were returning to the "Iron Furnace Castle", the stone also happened to arrive, and they brought the nezumi directly.

After listening to their brief account of the whole process, Shi nodded, first praised him vigorously, and then sent them back to the place of battle at once, closely monitoring the situation at the entrance of the cave, and reporting anything unusual as soon as possible.

As for the stone himself, on the one hand, he has to wait here for the return of the large army, and on the other hand, he has to communicate with this rat-man captive, as long as he can pry his mouth open.

In the Skaven society, many high-ranking nezumi speak the languages of other races, in order to better understand their enemies and facilitate the management of their slaves, but this slave rat is obviously not at that level, so he speaks the nezumi language peculiar to the nezumi, and it is normal for the night goblins to not understand it.

This was not a problem for the stone, he could not only listen, but also speak, and once again it turned out that knowing a foreign language was such an important skill, and he only opened his mouth to threaten it, and the slave rat told him all he knew.

……

As judged by the stone, the nezumi named Gousko was a slave rat, and his tan fur, thin body, and tattered clothes all showed that his life had not been very good.

He comes from the "Clan of Kerx", a new nezumi clan that only began to settle in their current area hundreds of years ago, building nests and breeding populations.

And their lair is just like what is shown on the strategic map, just below the "Iron Rock" of the Red Fang Tribe!

To say that these rat cubs are really bold, others have always avoided the greenskins, but they are good, they actually took the initiative to move forward, and they also unknowingly hid under the nose of a green-skinned fortress, and they hid for hundreds of years!

According to Gousko, in addition to cultivating some plants in the ground, another important source of food for the "Clan of Kerks" is to steal from the greenskins above their heads.

In order to achieve this goal, their clan has not done anything else in the past few hundred years, so they have done one thing, digging tunnels,

Now the entire steel rock is densely packed with rat tunnels, through which they can easily appear in every mushroom field in the steel rock and fill their stomachs with these mushrooms.

Listening to what Gousko said, Stone admired the rat man who came up with this idea in the first place, no wonder he dared to take the initiative to provoke Greenskin's head, and sure enough, there were two brushes.

Because for the simple-minded greenskins, they themselves don't know how many mushrooms are growing in the tribe, and they can't find any more or less, as long as these rat people calculate the time and sneak into the tribe in the dead of night, they can swagger away with the mushrooms.

Stone could even imagine that with the increase of tunnels, even if the existence of these thieves was discovered by the greenskins one day, they would be able to trap the enemy through the complex tunnels and deal with them calmly.

At that time, whether it is fighting or fleeing, you can control it yourself, anyway, as long as the time is longer and the more tunnels are cultivated, the more the green skins will be unable to take them.

This rat clan also understands this, and the slaves of the whole clan have nothing to do, almost all of them are digging tunnels.

Like Gousko, who was born the lowliest slave rat, his daily job was to dig and dig, and to trade a tiring day's work for a meal that was just enough to eat.

According to his observations, many times even the overseers who led them did not know where to dig these tunnels, only that the more tunnels were dug, the better, and he even dared to pack tickets, but he was afraid that even the patriarch himself did not know how many tunnels there were around the lair, anyway, it was certain that if no one led the way, every enemy who broke into the clan would get lost in this labyrinth of various tunnels.

It is precisely because of this casual way of digging tunnels that they dug to the side of the "Iron Furnace Castle".

A month ago, he, along with dozens of other slave rats, took his tools again, and under the leadership of the two clan rat overseers, he went to a tunnel that had existed for an unknown amount of time, and continued to dig aimlessly along the end, only to dig and dig through, and it happened to fall into the hands of Squigg Jumper, who dug out the scourge of killing.

This is the cause and effect of the matter, hearing this, Shi couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart.
