Chapter 765: Plague Clan
"Ah, I'm going to die...
Liu Xing was lying on the ox cart, looking at the sky with his eyes and blank eyes.
It has been two months since Liu Xing and the others left the blacksmith village, and in these two months, Liu Xing and the others were either on the way or on the way.
The most important thing is that because Liu Xing and the others chose the shortest road from Guangming City, they went over mountains and mountains along the way, and it basically took a week to find a town to rest and replenish, which made Liu Xing, who had no camping experience since he was a child, eager to end himself...
"Everyone's eaten." Shen Aotian's voice suddenly sounded.
Liu Xing, who was still lying on the ox cart like a salted fish, got up instantly, got out of the car with his own dishes and chopsticks to eat.
In Liu Xing's opinion, if it weren't for the food made by Shen Aotian to comfort him along the way, I'm afraid that his SAN value would have been reduced to zero.
Sure enough, it was a wise decision to let Shen Aotian join the Brave Squad.
Because Liu Xing and the others have been away from the previous town for five days, the current Liu Xing and the others seem to be in the dust... To put it bluntly, it's a bit unkempt, after all, there is no shampoo or anything on this continent.
However, I don't know if it's the racial talent of the orc race, the redstone self-painting has not been affected by the fatigue of the journey, and it still looks so glamorous, which makes Liu Xing feel very envious, because Liu Xing has a slight cleanliness habit.
It seemed that he had noticed Liu Xing's gaze, and the red stone self-painting that was holding a bone shook his ears, and glanced at Liu Xing with disgust.
Because there are a lot of beasts on the continent, Liu Xing and the others basically rely on hunting to get food along the way, and the taste of these beasts is quite good, so this is also the only good impression that Liu Xing and the others have on this continent at present.
Liu Xing and the others sat on the ground and began to eat.
"By the way, if I'm not mistaken, we're now on the territory of the Skaven Kingdom, which means we're only a month away from the City of Light." Zhang Jingxu said while eating.
Liu Xing and the others are currently on the western border of the Skaven Kingdom, while Bright City is adjacent to the eastern border of the Skaven Kingdom, so Liu Xing and the others need to cross the Skaven Kingdom now.
However, when it comes to the Skaven Kingdom, Liu Xing always has an ominous premonition, because Liu Xing has a roommate in the real world who is an avid Warhammer fan, so Liu Xing has heard a lot of Warhammer settings from his mouth, and there is a race called Skavenshu... No, it's a rat man.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing hurriedly checked his memories and found that there was indeed a group of rat people in this Skaven Kingdom.
Nezumi are one of the orcs, but because of their strong reproductive ability and adaptability, they are distributed in all corners of the continent, and they are not like other orcs who will gather in large numbers in their respective tribal territories, and only some members will go to other regions for various reasons; As a result, there are hundreds of nezumi clans on the continent, more than other orcs have established.
There are currently two nezumi tribes in the Skaven Kingdom, among which the stronger nezumi tribe is called the Scurry Clan, this nezumi clan tribe is very good at using all kinds of magic, so they are very close to the magicians of the Skaven Kingdom, so the Skaven Kingdom also recognizes the Skrit Clan as a part of the kingdom, and the leader of the Skrit Clan is also happy to become an alien lord of the Skaven Kingdom.
As for the name of another nezumi tribe in the Skaven Kingdom, Liu Xing's heart was half cold, because this nezumi clan was called the Plague Clan.
The Plague Clan was originally one of the families of the Skary Clan, but because the leader of the Plague Clan openly worshiped Bahamut, the Plague Clan was publicly removed from the Skary Clan, and the Skary Clan also contacted the army of the Skaven Kingdom to eradicate the Plague Clan, but because the leader of the Plague Clan got the news in advance, the Plague Clan fled directly to the waste capital of the Skaven Kingdom - Ruth Zia.
Because of a war many years ago, Ruszia, the capital of the Skaven Kingdom, was destroyed in the war, so the Skaven Kingdom decided to abandon Ruszia, but after all, Ruszia was the capital of Skaven back then, so its defense capabilities far exceeded ordinary towns, plus there were Bahamut believers of other races to come to support, so the Plague Clan successfully resisted the attack of the Skuri Clan and the Skaven Kingdom, and since then the abandoned capital Ruszia has become the territory of the Plague Clan.
But the most important thing is that Ruth Zia is on the road that Liu Xing and the others must pass to the City of Light!
Therefore, unless Liu Xing and the others are willing to go around in a big circle, they will definitely pass by Ruszia.
After recalling, Liu Xing couldn't help but look at Zhang Jingxu, he didn't expect him to be so interested in Warhammer.
According to KP Husky, everything in this world is constructed by Zhang Jingxu's subconscious, but because Zhang Jingxu's subconscious contains too many things, there are many settings on this continent that are obviously playing with memes, such as Cai Gouzi, a berserker assassin, the name of Shen Aotian's family, and so on.
As for the setting of the Plague Clan, it is obvious that it combines a lot of Warhammer-related settings, for example, the Scurry clan is a top family among the Skavans in Warhammer, and it is also one of the few families among the Skaven people who are qualified to study magic, so the Scurry clan in this world is so good at magic.
As for Ruszia, the ruined capital of the Skaven Kingdom, it is also a place name related to the Skaven in Warhammer, because there is a family of Skaven who used to study various plagues in Ruszia, so Liu Xing knows that this is implying that the Plague Clan is worthy of its name.
If nothing else, the Plague Clan will soon launch an attack on the City of Light!
As for their attack, it is naturally to spread the plague!
Thinking of this, Liu Xing hurriedly gave Yin En and the others a look, and Yin En and the others also understood and knew that there was something to discuss with them.
Therefore, after Liu Xing and the others hurriedly had dinner, they left the convoy on the pretext of going to bathe in the nearby river.
When he came to a river, Liu Xing couldn't help but tell his guess.
"I see, I said that the name of the Skaven Kingdom seems a little familiar, but now we are truly sure that the mission of the City of Light is related to the plague." Yin Eun said as he touched his chin that had grown a beard.
Ding Kun nodded, frowned and said: "Warhammer, like the Cthulhu Mythos, has been in a tepid state in China, but after I entered the Cthulhu Run game hall, in order to learn more about the Cthulhu Run game, I went to a board game store near my home to set up a membership, but I didn't expect that most of the members of that board game store are Warhammer fans, so I also learned about some Warhammer-related settings, but I don't know much about the Skaven people, After all, the friends I met at the board game store were Warhammer 40k fans. ”
Although Warhammer has also produced a lot of video games, its essence is the same as the Cthulhu Run game is a board game, but because of the relevant settings, Warhammer is divided into medieval Warhammer and Warhammer 40k (40,000 years), simply put, it is a fantasy version and a sci-fi version.
However, because the Skaven cantatami is focused on the medieval Warhammer, Ding Kun doesn't have a way to learn about the Skaven from his friends in the board game store.
As for Zhang Wenbing, he only heard of Warhammer.
Therefore, among the four people present, only Liu Xing still has a certain understanding of the Skaven rat people.
"Well, I'll make it clear now, I don't know much about the Skaven, and that Plague Clan must have been modified by the Mod Demon, so I won't be responsible if there is a deviation at that time." Liu Xing decided to get rid of the pot first, "Skaven rat people are a typical evil creature like many rat people in Western magic, but their intelligence is not much different from that of humans, which is somewhat similar to the mythical creatures in the Cthulhu Run game, so we can deal with those rat people of the plague clan as ghouls, but because the Skaven rat people have a lot of miscellaneous black technology, we must be prepared to face the plague clan and take out the musket cannon." ”
Zhang Wenbing looked at the book in his hand and said, "If this is the case, then these rat men of the plague clan are indeed a little difficult to deal with, because these armors on our bodies are not body armor." ”
Liu Xing nodded, in this world of swords and magic, a firearm is indeed a somewhat foul weapon.
Of course, even more terrifying than guns is the cannon, because if that thing hits, then the group will either die or be injured.
And Liu Xing had no doubt that those rat people of the plague clan would drag out a few cannons, and even if they drove out tanks, Liu Xing would not be surprised.
After all, the Skaven are a black technology race in Warhammer, which should be added to the Plague Clan's setting by mods.
"So judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the Plague Clan is ready to release the plague to Bright City, and we will not be able to prevent this from happening, because we are just a few people, and we will definitely not be able to deal with the huge number of Plague Clans, but we still have the opportunity to make Bright City prepare in advance, so I suggest that after entering the Skaven Kingdom, we try to find a way to find out the news related to the Plague Clan, once we get the news that the Plague Clan is ready to spread the plague, Let's go straight to the City of Light overnight! Liu Xing expressed his opinion.
After pondering for a moment, Yin En nodded and said: "Liu Xing, your idea is very good, but Ruszia, where the Plague Clan is located, is next to Guangming City, so when we get the news, if we want to notify Guangming City as soon as possible, we must pass by Ruszia, and then we are likely to be attacked by the Plague Clan, after all, all the ratmen of the Plague Clan are all believers in Bahamut, so we have to plan how to pass by Ruszia safely." ”
"It's simple." Zhang Wenbing said seriously: "At present, the Skaven Kingdom and the Scurry Clan are in a hostile state with the Plague Clan, we can use this to deal with the Plague Clan, and I also believe that the Skaven Kingdom and the Skuri Clan are both important helpers for us to complete the Bright City, after all, there is no way to solve the Plague Clan by relying on us and the Bright City alone, and if there is no way to solve the Plague Clan, then we will not be able to fundamentally solve the plague problem, Therefore, we must seek the support of the Skaven Kingdom and the Scurry Clan, especially the Scurry Clan, because the Scurry Clan, as a nezumi, should have some resistance to the plague, and maybe the Scurry Clan also has some research on the plague, but the question now is how to convince the Skaven Kingdom and the Scurry Clan to send troops against the Plague Clan. ”
Ding Kun smiled, patted his chest and said: "This problem is actually very easy to solve, we just need to find the right time to spread rumors, after all, all plagues are extremely contagious, and the Skaven Kingdom will definitely be affected by the plague at that time, so as long as we get a little news about the Plague Clan about to spread the plague, we can push it down the river and exaggerate it, I believe that the Skaven Kingdom will definitely unite with the Scurry Clan to send troops to exterminate the Plague Clan!" ”
Liu Xing and the three nodded in agreement.
As a result, Liu Xing and the others decided to find a way to inquire about the news of the Plague Clan after entering the towns of the Skaven Kingdom.
Then, Liu Xing and the others found a stream to take a bath.
"It's really getting hotter and hotter in the past two days, and it looks like it's summer on this continent by now." Liu Xing looked at the sun that had not yet set in the sky and said, "When we arrive in Guangming City in a month's time, it should be the height of summer, and that is indeed the time when the plague is most likely to break out. ”
Yin En sighed and said with some melancholy: "For so many years, I haven't had a summer without air conditioning. ”
"Me too." Liu Xing and the others said in unison.
Two days later, Liu Xing and the others finally arrived at a small town in the Skaven Kingdom.
After solving the accommodation problem, Liu Xing and the others left the inn and went out to inquire about the news.
As a result, Liu Xing and the others had just walked to the hall of the inn when they saw a rat man!
The nezumi looked like a large rat standing up, wearing a special ornate robe and a staff with a sapphire inlaid on the top, and it looked like it was the magician of the Scurry clan.
And next to this rat man, there are two twin men who look exactly the same, they look like they are in their twenties, but their Mediterranean hairstyle makes Liu Xing a little dramatic.
However, Liu Xing knows that in mid-world Europe, the Mediterranean hairstyle is also a symbol of nobility.
