Chapter 169: Spread the
word The local rat clans became bolder. Fortunately, most of them had gone south before, and most of the rats who went south did not come back.
Greenskins will always be a stubborn disease in the Pahualasha rainforest. After a long period of encirclement and suppression by the cold-blooded species, there are still tens of thousands of greenskin orcs.
Like the coldbloods, greenskins do not reproduce by giving birth.
They are neither cold-blooded nor warm-blooded, and are unaffected by the ancient magic found in most of the ruins in the rainforest.
When those ancient magics were released, the greenskins were still hiding from the Thoros Legion in the Old World. At that time, no Slann would think that the greenskins were a big threat.
When the "Lord of Scars" led his army south, he drove away most of the greenskins, but the remaining few developed into a green tide all over the mountains.
Fortunately, the great battle three days ago consumed a lot of greenskins.
The threat from the gold diggers should not be underestimated either. The Plunder Port in the north is growing stronger. It is estimated that Thoros' army will have to return to the Isthmus of Lustria, or Hexiota will have to send troops again, before there is a chance to destroy this pirate colony.
It is obvious that Lynch and the three hot-blooded people he brought with him cannot solve all the threats facing Pahakus.
The priest begged Lynch to wipe out the ratmen clan that migrated from underground Pahkos and reduce the pirate threat from the north.
Naturally, the request did not specify a reward, which was only natural for the cold-blooded species.
All cold-blooded species must serve the greater plan, and fighting for the will of the ancient saints is the lizardmen's duty.
Of course, Lynch can also refuse this commission.
However, this was an easy task. He beheaded the leader of the ratman clan, left and caused a big commotion in Plunderer Harbor, and the crisis facing Pahkos was resolved.
When Lynch accepted the request, the lizard servants brought the gold pendant again and inlaid it on Lynch using a special method.
These golds are special symbols of the Ancients and have been blessed countless times by the Skink Priests.
For cold-blooded species, this decoration is a symbol of honor.
Lynch did not refuse the priest's kindness, even though the gold made him shine brighter and the dwarf's breathing more rapid.
At Lynch's request, the Skink Priest confusedly took off his ornaments at random and threw them to the dwarf.
Sorian took the gold like a hungry dog, which caused Ledin to laugh sarcastically.
Asul could understand the language of the Lizardmen, and he knew that the team was once again stuck in the mission.
The sublimity of protecting the temple of the ancient gods from desecration was enough to ignite Asur's heroic fantasy.
Lynch left the Pahuakos Central Pyramid with the hot-blooded people. When passing by the pool, Lynch subconsciously looked at his reflection in the water, focusing his attention on his left eye.
He felt amazing, now he had the illusion of being able to control fluids.
Perhaps the disappeared holy object was at work. Lynch believed that he could condense a vehicle at any time as a levitator for transportation.
Lynch thought of the spirit lizard who was looking for the ancient engine. The lizard man was not going to donate his left eye to the Temple of Purification for the spirit lizards to worship, so it would be better to leave the water god engine with him!
Gradually, Lynch heard the sound of flow.
This sophisticated device has terrible side effects. If Lynch tries to activate its other functions, it is likely that both friend and foe will be affected.
This is the norm for Ancient Relics, so it’s best not to try to be smart and press buttons randomly.
Maybe just a light press could blow the planet into pieces.
Before finding its instruction manual, Lynch only planned to use its basic functions with caution.
Lynch no longer had to worry about how to board the hot-blooded people's ship because he had his own boat, which was convenient and stable.
The lizardmen circled the city center and found a cave leading underground through the collapsed spire.
The undergrounds of some cities are relatively well-developed, while the undergrounds of other cities are just places for cold lizards and lizard people to rest.
Obviously, Pavacos is the latter.
The broken stairs were very soft, and all the buildings in the ruins of Paphacus, except the Great Pyramid, were unreliable.
Lynch quickly grabbed the dwarf, and the stairs under the dwarf's feet suddenly collapsed, almost allowing Sorian to meet his ancestors.
Another loud bang was heard, and Lynch quickly moved away from the original stairs. With his decisive reaction, he escaped the fate of falling into the abyss.
The stairs, which had fallen into disrepair, had completely collapsed.
The four unlucky guys quickly walked down the stairs. The dwarf was not good at keeping balance and had no place to put his footing on the collapsed stone steps. Lynch directly pulled him up to prevent him from dying here in a funny way.
After a thrilling escape, four figures of different heights emerged from the smoke and landed on the dusty floor of the underground temple.
Without paying attention to the bickering between the elf and the dwarf, Lynch immediately scanned the empty underground space after leaving the dwarf behind, and took note of the locations where there were safety hazards.
Unlike all the other ruins, Pahuacs was unprecedentedly fragile.
The dispute between the dwarves and elves gradually faded away, and they noticed the thinness of the air underground.
Lynch didn't care. There were only three people in the team who needed to catch their breath.
Teclis guided the winds of heaven, allowing the air currents to pass over the numerous stone pillars and gather near the team.
The air current brought the stench of the ratmen, and it seemed that the target was very close.
The team only walked about a thousand steps and came out of the wide underground square, and Lynch discovered many ratmen in the interconnected tunnels.
The plan was simple: go straight to the ratmen's clan hall and behead their leaders, and the rat plague would be solved.
But before Lynch could raise his weapon, the Skaven fled screaming.
"Scales of Destruction!"
"He's coming!"
The ratmen who knew about Lynch led the other ignorant newborns to flee, but in a moment of distraction, the ratmen disappeared from the many tunnels.
Lynch quickened his pace. He suspected that if he was a step late, he wouldn't be able to find even a single mouse hair.
Apparently, the ratmen were more familiar with the underground layout than the lizardmen.
The pursuit was fruitless, and Lynch could only follow the tunnel with the least dust and rush straight to the ratmen's nest.
In order to save time, he even left behind his teammates.
The dwarf, wearing heavy armor made of meteorite, was panting as he tried to keep up with the lizardmen and elves, but his short legs could not produce the same speed as the elves.
Lynch ran to the empty ratman clan hall and met the gathered ratmen and the ratman warlord who had just poked his head out of the cave.
The cave was relatively clean. It seemed that the rat people had just moved in and had not had time to destroy the space too much.
The ratmen scattered in panic, and no matter how the rat warlord shouted, they refused to face Lynch.
The news of the Grey Prophet's defeat spread like wildfire, and no ratman wanted to die again.
The elf chased after him, but did not find the enemy he imagined. He only saw the ratman warlord whose body was pierced by the lizardman's scepter.
When the dwarf arrived, all that was left for him was the twitching half-dead body of the Skaven warlord.
