Chapter 49
Killing rats to scare rats
Four hundred slave rats is really not a small number.
This number is a full hundred more than the 300 ratmen that Ictor originally planned to accept.
The reason why so many more ratmen are introduced than originally planned is because the ratmen will always suffer casualties. If the ratmen are summoned only according to the food carrying capacity of the territory, the remaining rat population will be seriously insufficient in the end.
Anyway, if there are too many ratmen, it would be better to let them die. Leaving a margin of more than a hundred is very conducive to the normal progress of his plan.
However, these ratmen still seem unable to accept that they have become members of the territory.
Especially after Ict came out, the ratmen who surrounded them all took a human as their leader, and even called him the clan leader, which completely broke their understanding.
Shocked, hairless human gadgets actually enslaved the rats!
But all this is just the beginning. In the following time, Iket will let the rats understand that more shocking things are yet to come.
"Geniel, let them line up first."
The slave rats of the Love clan reveled in joy, and their cheers drowned out the noise of other slave rats.
"Indeed, I said I won't hurt you."
Although the rats need to eat less and more often, the territory cannot be used to cook most of the time 24 hours a day. Even if the rats of the Love clan are full during the main meal, they still need to endure hunger during the free period.
.
So he could only let the storm rats and clan rats take care of these guys.
However, he was disappointed, so Iket still walked forward patiently and asked them:
"Can you tell me the reasons why you don't join the Love Clan?"
This is almost a clear indication that the higher you climb, the more the clan leader will give you.
Ictor turned around. Faced with the arrogance of the Clawmark clan, he did not intend to take any action. After all, he had a promise first.
But this is not enough. In the future, Ictor plans to further differentiate between the rat-men classes, including food standards, accommodation, and wearing armbands of different colors for rat-men of different classes.
Immediately, several slave rats tried to rush forward, but they were quickly defeated by the storm rats and human guards who were on guard.
The slave rats who were being pushed around felt strange and worried about their own fate. A group of rats gathered together and chattered very noisily.
If they weren't the Ratmen of the Love Clan, they would have gone crazy by now!
The strange scene in front of them made the slave rats dumbfounded. A human thing promoted the rats to clan rats, and the rats had to thank him!
The group of ratmen discussed for a while, and then they recommended a stronger ratman and replied rather forcefully:
"You hairless human thing, rats don't want to join your ridiculous clan! Rats have to start their own clan! From now on we will be called Pawmark! Pawmark clan! You stupid rat people, why not join our Pawmark clan!
"
Noticing the longing expressions on the faces of the slave rats of the Ridley clan, Ictor couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
"Ratmen! As you can see, the well-equipped ratmen in front of you all belong to my loving clan!
"As you command, clan leader."
Seeing this, most of the remaining slave rats followed the crowd and chose to obey, but the rebellious rats still had some choices to stay behind the line.
Meat such as goblins and gnolls greatly alleviated the hunger of the rats, but it was difficult to have food at their disposal, whether in Windsor or Skaven.
If anyone wants to join the clan, please come to the front of the line immediately!
The swords were swung at the rat people, and the Clawmark clan tried to resist, but apparently they overestimated their strength and were killed by the heavily armed rat people, with endless screams.
Genil the Storm Rat took the order and retreated, and quickly urged his men to take action.
"But I never said my men wouldn't."
Then he distributed goblin jerky and jackal jerky to the newly promoted clan rats one by one in front of the slave rats.
Let all rats feel the unevenness of the world at all times, and fall into endless involution through the ascending channels he set up.
The first wave of stimulation was already prepared. Ictor specifically ordered Aris to open the granary and distribute a batch of dried fish to the Storm Rats of the Love Clan present.
At Ict's signal, the Storm Rats drew a line on the ground with their spears, and many rat people stepped forward without hesitation and chose to join the Love Clan.
This is no longer the world you know, this is a new continent that even the tentacles of the horned rat cannot care about!
The Love Clan is the only and most powerful rat clan on the continent! My fellow rats who have nowhere to go, join the Love Clan! I guarantee the credibility of the clan leader! As long as you can contribute to the clan! Dimensional stones! Food!
Status! Everything you need!
In this way, under the watchful eyes of many rat people, Ictor gathered all the remaining slave rats of the Love clan.
Genil led the troops and walked forward with a ferocious smile. The sight of spears and swords made the rats of the Clawmark clan shiver, and they were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"No! You can't do this! Chief of the clan! Dear chief of the Iket clan! We were wrong! Wrong! Please! You promised not to kill us!"
For the rat people who have joined the Love Clan, this is a carnival for all rats, because so many slave rats are simply the best bottom class, and they can finally ride on the heads of other rats and dominate!
Even the remaining slave rats can have the opportunity to be promoted to clan rats.
The aroma of food tempted all the slave rats, and this suddenly aroused their appetite. The slaves who had been starving for a long time couldn't bear it anymore.
Ictor was very disappointed with these rats. Among the slave rats, there were indeed characters like Bardax the Rat, but he did not expect that this time there would be more than twenty slave rats left behind the line.
"Ratmen of the Love Clan! Rejoice! Today! Your clan leader Iket announced that all slave rats of the Love Clan will be promoted to clan rats with immediate effect!"
Fortunately, Ictor finally completed the distribution of rewards and no longer left the slave rats where they were.
However, they were shocked. After all, the rat people had nothing to do with being proud. Even if it was difficult for them to accept being ruled by a human thing for a while, they were attracted by the extremely longing scene.
Obviously they can live a good life if they move forward, but they don't want to.
The rat people have the potential characteristic of being strong in numbers. Once the rats gather together, they will often become more ferocious and cruel than before. It is impossible not to give them a good beating.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to join, and I, Iket, will never hurt you! Just make your own choice boldly!”
If you want to rule the rat people, you need this class difference, supplemented by education and law.
After hearing this, Ictor nodded affirmatively.
Although you can directly use a contract to force the rats to join the clan, that will inevitably leave some hidden dangers, so Ictor plans to clear up some thorns in the early stage to establish a prestige for the rats.
Seeing this, the slave rat could only stay where it was and swallow its saliva.
Iket is a man of his word.
"Really? It's such a pity."
The merit and status of each Skaven is evident from the quality of the rewards.
Due to the existence of the contract, most of the rats subconsciously cooperated with their actions. The clan rats grabbed the slave rats who did not know how to stand in line and lined them up to facilitate subsequent division of duties.
"Yes! yes! Long live the Iket clan leader!"
After all, Ictor is not a horned rat, so he cannot really let these rat men run amok, as that will only make the situation completely go out of control.
As slave rats working in the mines, it is difficult to say how many years they can live. If they can become clan rats, what does it matter even if they become rat traitors?
If you seize this precious opportunity to be promoted to clan rat, you will seize it. If you don't seize it, you will remain a rat for the rest of your life.
Giving food to the rat people who have been suffering from black hunger for a long time is actually more useful than distributing food and wages.
Thinking of the days when they were used as livestock by the clan leader, all the clan rats couldn't help but wipe away tears, and the mockery of these new rats in their eyes became even more intense.
After the killing was over, the slave rats were all shocked, and all of them put away their little thoughts.
Even though hunger urged them to eat the corpses of their companions, no rats dared to move.
Genil held up the head of the Clawmark clan leader and showed it to the slave rats while saying:
"Look at it all! The words of the leader of the Iket clan are the rules of the Love clan! And this! This is the consequences of disobeying the clan!"
Genil kicked the rat head into the group of rats. The slave rats along the way avoided each other and did not dare to look into the eyes of the stunned dead rat.
Chapter completed!
