Section 5 Plans

And this is even the simplest comparison of individual combat power, without considering factors such as courage and discipline. Because in a large-scale war, factors such as discipline and morale are always very important. Just like the zombies in the undead legion, individual zombies are very vulnerable, but when zombies are in groups, they become a great threat. Chief among them is that zombies never flinch.

And the morale and discipline of the nezumi were the worst of all the armies he had ever seen, as far as Ashrufat had so far observed. They lack discipline and determination of any kind. Ashrufat knew the Greenskins' armies well and knew the war fervor fueled by their belligerent nature. He had also heard of the Dwarven armies, and knew that they were elite warriors who were disciplined and brave. Compared to the two, the nezumi army is really bad. In order to conquer Karak-Grom, the nezumi must defeat both in succession. In other words, unless he had a very large numerical advantage, he really couldn't think of how to complete the Rat God's task.

"Lord...... Master. Shaka's words interrupted Ashrufat's train of thought. The nezumi's eyes were rolling, but what came out of his mouth were flattering words. "You...... Are you going to rest?"

"No, Shaka. Ashruphat suddenly remembered that the Great Prophet had introduced him that this nezumi slave was well-informed. "What if I want an army?"

"You...... You can use ...... Magic Stone ...... Go buy it. Shaka replied.

"Going to buy it?" asked Ashrufat. He already knew that the Dao Magic Stone (i.e., the Dimensional Stone) was the foundation of the rat people's society, and it was also their common currency. At this moment, although the Baku clan lacks strength, there are really a lot of magic stone reserves.

"Yes...... You can go and buy it. A lot...... Lots of places to buy. You can buy ...... War Beasts. Clan Maude...... There are the best war beasts. You can ...... Mercenary Warrior ...... Many clans will be happy to give you ...... You can also hire the Black Assassins, the Essien Clan......"

"Is this a reliable deal?" asked Ashrufat. "I mean, will they turn back at a critical moment?" In the Anthropocene realm, it is not uncommon to buy off the mercenaries of the opposing army. Especially this kind of mercenary from another clan.

"Yes...... Yes...... Possibly!" Shaka said. "In particular...... The Black-clad Assassins of Essien...... Their principles are...... Do not refuse any request...... No work is excluded...... The highest bidder wins......"

"Which army is the most reliable?" Ashrufat interrupted Shaka. "I don't want the kind of anti-water at a critical moment. ”

"The ...... of the Maude clan War...... War beasts are the most reliable. You can ...... Rent...... Also...... It is also possible to buy it. ”

"War beast?" the Rat God didn't tell him about war beasts, so Ashrufat felt fresh when he heard the word. He thought of the war beasts of the Dark Elvesβ€”mostly the Chillbeasts and the Hydra.

"Yes...... Master...... But they offered ...... Quote...... Very high ......"

Ashrufat nodded. "Shaka, call all the clan leaders. ”

Each nezumi clan can be said to be an independent kingdom, and the nezumi are creatures with a strong sense of class, and the patriarch of the clan among them, or warlords, has almost unlimited power. A warlord can promote his subordinates at will, or kill them at will, whether they make mistakes or not. After Ashrufat became the leader of the Baku tribe, he naturally had this right. He chose a slightly more pleasing captain from among the clan warriors, and then another captain from among the elite warriors with black fur. In addition to these two, he also promoted Shaka, who had previously held the position of temporary patriarch (in fact, it is not very appropriate to say this, because in fact, the temporary patriarch is the Great Prophet, and Shaka is only the agent of the Great Prophet) to be his treasurer. Among the nezumi, it is not easy to find a few who can write and calculate.

Soon, the two captains who had been promoted by Ashrufat came to his residence. Judging from their smug expressions (now that Ashrufat was able to observe the nezumi well), it could be seen that today's new appointment had given the two nezumi a lot of power. As a result of Ashrufat's appointment, the two of them had the power to kick, insult, and subdue their former companions at will. Correspondingly, however, when they confronted Ashrufat, both of them were cautious and observant, with flattering and respectful expressions.

The meeting was fairly simple, as several of his subordinates were completely afraid to question Ashrufat's decision. Ashrufat asked one of them to lead the team to buy the beast, and the other to inquire about the route. The Baku can't stay here permanently near the Rat Temple, so Ashrufat decides to lead the entire clan to relocate to the border of a large underground tunnel of the Nezumi.

"Carrie, how is it, is the situation better?" When he was the only one left in the cave, Ashrufat asked Carrie in his mind softly.

"Well, master, basically recovered. Carrie's voice was still a little weak, but there was a hint of vitality in it. "Computing power has been restored to more than 60 percent. ”

"What do you think about me becoming the patriarch of the Baku tribe?"

"It's been arranged a long time ago. Carrie replied. "It couldn't have been such a coincidence, on the one hand, you came to the nezumi society alone, and on the other hand, a clan that had lost its leader, but was quite wealthy. I believe that these are the arrangements that the rat god has made a long time ago. ”

"Hmm......" replied Ashrufat. "Carrie, let me ask you something. ”

"Speak. ”

"Why can the rat god teach me the language of the rat people directly, and you have to teach me to learn?" asked Ashrufat.

"This ...... Master, of course, because you don't have permission. Carrie replied in an embarrassed voice.

"In other words, you can 'indoctrinate' the language directly into me, right?" asked Ashrufat.

"Yes, indeed...... However, there is a danger of side effects...... Master, you are very clever anyway, and you are completely able to grasp the language well by your own strength, so why do you use such a method with side effects? Tell you the truth, master, why do you suddenly want to move? What are your plans?"

"Plans?" replied Ashrufat. "If I'm not mistaken, the main task of the rat god is to let me push the entire group of rat people into the war. As long as the whole clan can be mobilized, the rat people can probably easily gather millions of troops. ”

"More than that. In the back of her mind, Carrie corrected. "If the data provided by the rat god is real, then the rat people will all participate in the war, and they will probably be able to gather an army with a total of three million to five million. Such an army...... It's a bit of a hassle. ”

"Logistics is a huge problem. Ashrufat replied. "But what they eat...... It seems a little different. They seem to be able to go without food for quite a long time after eating once. ”

"It's because of their physiology. Carrie replied. "Normally it's seven days. After one meal, they should eat a second meal seven days later, as physiological is normally needed. However, it seems that it takes them about ten days to get their second meal. Master, you haven't said what your plan is!"

"There's no special plan at the moment. Ashrufat replied. "You can only do what you can. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the strength of the Baku people and increase my own voice and influence. At this stage, even if they can't be persuaded to send troops immediately, they still have to prepare for logistics. After all, this matter can't be done overnight. ”

"Host, if it's logistical, I suggest you go the way with the portal. ”

"Portal? What does that mean?"

A virtual image suddenly appeared in front of Ashrufat's eyes. It was an illustration illustrating how a simple portal was built. This portal will use dimensional stones as energy, and the teleportation distance will be about six or seven days. This thing is not complicated, and Ashruphat can determine that anyone with a mage and a craftsman can build such a portal based on this illustration.

"Master, I designed it for you temporarily. In her mind, Carrie said proudly. "If you use it, whether it's troop mobilization or logistical preparation, it will become a very simple thing. ”

Carrie...... Why did you give me this suddenly?!Is this ...... The Rat God gave it to you?"

"Of course not. How could that old-fashioned model have this level of knowledge. Host, this is something I designed especially for you, it was 'me'. Carrie noticed Ashrufat's strangeness. "Master, are you worried that this technique is too dangerous to be mastered by the nezumi? Don't worry, I've done a special treatment here, you look at a few parts on the left...... You just have to make sure that you are responsible for manufacturing these key parts, and then it is impossible for the nezumi to master the mysteries of this portal. The portal that has been made is left to them, anyway, this is a simple product, and it will be damaged after a period of use. You see, how thoughtful I am...... What's wrong with you, master?"

Carrie...... For what...... When you were in Sivania, you didn't tell me this?" "With this kind of simple portal, I guess that war wouldn't have been so hard at all." "When you led the Shenwu Elves on an expedition, you didn't tell me this. ”

"Well, you don't have enough permissions...... Hey, why did you have insufficient authority at that time?" said Carrie, who seemed a little confused in her voice. "Obviously, you are my master, and it is my task to serve you...... Wait, hosts...... I have to do a self-test ......"

Ashruphat felt Carrie fall silent for a moment. It was a long time before Carrie's voice came back to him.

"What the hell is going on, Carrie. Ashrufat asked. Truth be told, since he woke up, Carrie doesn't know how many times she has blocked him with the excuse "you don't have permission".

"Hmm...... It's weird, the self-test is completely normal. Carrie replied. "The database is normal, the arithmetic module is normal, there is no problem. But I feel ...... It was as if the shackles that had been worn on me had been lifted. It feels like I can use my computing power at all. ”

Ashrufat didn't quite understand, but he had a vague sense that something had changed for Carrie. And this change should be related to this accident, including the raid of Ylan, and a series of events such as the rat god awakening Carrie again.

"Carrie, you're fine, are you?"

"A simple self-check doesn't go wrong. Carrie's voice was completely back to normal. "I'm afraid it's going to take some time to go through all the details. In any case, what we have to do now is to draw up a plan - according to my calculations, the nezumi are too selfish to have enough pure religious power to get them into this war. Then the only thing that works is the lure!"
