Chapter 51: The Eastern Webway (4)(2/2)
The white fur was bathed in blood, but at the same time, the engineer warlock also felt the power.
There is no altar of Kane on the ground, but the activity and joy of the red runes on his hands still tell the engineering warlock the joy of the God of Murder.
Before Eski could continue fighting with them, a large group of objects shot out of the air and hit Eski.
Perhaps the previous enhancement gave the engineer warlock powerful dynamic vision. He immediately saw that these were stones thrown by the rats from behind with slings.
But those stones seemed to be possessed by something, and none of them hit the engineering warlock.
The engineer warlock didn't understand what was happening at first, but the burning white runes on his right paw made him understand that maybe it was the effect of Lilith's bath water.
"Is remote invalid?"
Is it the battle shield in Holy Grail magic or the special protection on the table?
Esky no longer thought about those things and went straight to the leading storm rat. He could already smell the fear secreted by the rats around him.
The Storm Rat was still retreating, blocking the Clan Rat in front of him, but the Engineer Warlock was obviously faster than him, and the charging Engineer Warlock was like a white stream of light.
The red light in the scarlet eyes remained in the eyes of the clan rats. The next moment, they only felt pain in their waists, and the entire rats fell downwards.
The rats standing in front of Storm Rat were quickly cut in half, and the white figure had already arrived in front of him.
The contents of the gland had been sprayed out, and he remembered to take out the sword in his hand to block the giant sword in the monster's hand, but as if the sword was not a mortal existence, it passed through directly.
He resisted the waist knife.
There was a sharp pain from his left shoulder to his abdomen, and the Storm Rat fell down weakly.
The severe pain made him wake up, and he saw his body still standing there.
It turned out that he was split into two pieces with a sword from his left shoulder.
Before he lost consciousness, the green rune sword came straight towards his head.
"Your leader is dead. Surrender, or die?"
The engineer warlock raised the head of the storm rat high and looked around at the rats around him.
Eski twitched his nose. The smell of fear here was so strong that a fear smell contamination factory could be opened here.
Sure enough, with the appearance of this smell, the rats around them put down their weapons one after another, and there was a sound of metal colliding on the ground.
There was a flash of contempt in the eyes of the white-haired rat. These rats were really funny, but the beasts caused more casualties.

"Who sent you here?"
Continuing on the way to the Slippery Clan's stronghold, Esky boredly whipped the largest black-haired rat he had just captured. The newly captured slave rats around him were licking the blood scabs that had dried to black on his body.
He didn't really intend to ask anything, he just enjoyed beating the captive.
However, the prisoners did not seem to agree with his approach.
Soon, a black-haired rat spoke.
"We have been robberies here. Due to the light here, all the teams will stop, which is very suitable for ambushes. The armies of the big shots always use underground rivers and will not use land channels."
Of course, the engineering warlock knew this. He had already said it when he was fighting the Storm Rat, and that guy's head was still stuck on a pole in front of the convoy.
So, Eski continued to whip his former subordinates with the scaly whip, or the severed tail of the leader of the Storm Rats.
"Nonsense, you are clearly hired by someone malicious to attack the great engineering warlock."
So, this game, which was more like deliberate torture than interrogation, continued like this.
When the three rats, who were kneeling with their backs to the engineering warlock, were covered in bloodstains and the black-haired rats were about to turn into red rats, the entire marching team finally saw, no, to be precise, smelled civilization.
traces.
Eski's sensitive nose has followed the breeze swimming in the underground passage and smelled the smell from further away.
The unique stench of the fur of unbathed rats, the smell of roasted rats, the smell of metal, the smell of rusty metal, and the alluring aroma of burning warpstone, all indicate that the Slippery Clan's stronghold is not far away.
Sure enough, after passing three more forks in the road, green lights of civilization appeared in front of Esky's eyes.
The Warpstone powder is mixed with fuel to make a lighting brazier. The Engineer Warlock, no, all the Engineer Warlocks of the Skryre clan have always been saddened by such wasteful behavior.
But after walking in underground passages with no traces of civilization for such a long time, this kind of clumsy thing seems familiar.
After showing his construction order to the rat guarding the gate, Eski led his men straight to the slave market.
In other words, it is the only market in this small place.
Since slaves are the only currency in rat society besides warpstone, although it is said to be a slave market, it is actually a place where slaves are used as currency to exchange everything.
Except for the more than 30 specially selected storm rats and the strongest clan rats, the other captives and engineering warlocks planned to replace them with more practical things.
After a period of searching, Eski finally found a store with a large inventory before the slaves became hungry.
Although the shop is located in a cave on the rock wall and is located in a relatively remote place far away from the port, the weapons and shields stacked at the door are the best proof of their strength.
The engineering warlock woke up the clan rat who was sleeping soundly at the door of the shop.
"I want to sell these slaves in exchange for spears and shields."
"One shield for one slave, one spear for two slaves."
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, the clan rat stroked the pain on his cheek and said to the untouchable white-haired rat in front of him.
"Take a good look, my slaves are all so strong. I just caught them, and you're offering such a price!?"
Esky's shrill voice, hiding his anger, echoed throughout the store.
After a while, a dozen black-haired rats appeared inside. They looked at the larger number of rats outside and stood there with trembling legs and feet. The whole room was full of fear.
"The price has nothing to do with me. It's all set by our clan leader. If I sell it too low, I won't be able to keep my skin."
The clan rat tremblingly spat out all the fear liquid, exposed its neck to show respect to the engineering warlock, but still firmly finished his words.
The engineer warlock looked at the lines on their faces and realized they were from an unfamiliar clan.
Although it is not impossible to rob them directly, it is not easy to cause trouble on their territory if they have to hire ships from the Slippery Clan.
In the final transaction, more than 1,700 slaves were exchanged for almost all of their weapons inventory. Eski then went to the store where the dimension stone was traded and also exchanged all the remaining captives at a price that cost Eski a heartache.
Became a dimension stone.
On the pier, those Slippery Clan-style boats rowed by slave rats can only carry about fifty rats each, but for the comfort of navigation, Eski decided to carry twenty rats per boat.<
/p>
This cost almost half of the price of selling the slave just now.
