Section 5 Plan
This is even the simplest comparison of individual combat power, without considering factors such as courage and discipline. Because in large-scale wars, factors such as discipline and morale are always very important. Just like zombies in the undead legion, individual zombies are very fragile, but when zombies are in groups, they will become a great threat. The most important point is that zombies never know how to retreat.
The morale and discipline of the Rat Man - as far as the conclusion that Ashu Rufate has observed, is the worst of all the troops he has ever seen. They lack the discipline and determination of any kind. Ashu Rufate is very familiar with the Green-skinned army and knows the war fanaticism inspired by their warlike nature. He also heard of the Dwarf army, knowing that they are elite soldiers with strict discipline and bravery. Compared with these two, the Rat Man's army is really bad. To conquer Karak Grom, the Rat Man must defeat both one after another. In other words, unless he has a very large advantage in number, he really cannot think of how to complete the Rat God's mission.
"Master...Master." Shaka's words interrupted Ashrufate's thoughts. The rat man's eyes were swaying, but his mouth was spitting out his pleasing words. "Are you... going to rest?"
"No, Shaka." Ashu Rufat suddenly remembered that the Great Prophet introduced that this rat slave was well-informed. "What should I do if I want an army?"
"You...you can buy it with...magic stones..." Shaka replied.
"Go buy it?" Ashu Rufat asked. He already knew that magic stones (that is, dimension stones) were the foundation of the rat society and also their common currency. Although the Baku tribe lacked power at this moment, they really had a lot of magic stone reserves.
"Yes...you can buy it. There are many...you can buy it in many places. You can buy it...War beasts. The Mod clan...there are the best war beasts. You can...hire warriors...many clans will be happy to give it to you...you can also hire black assassins, Essin clan..."
"Is this kind of transaction reliable?" Ashu Rufate asked. "I mean, will they turn against the water at critical moments?" In the human world, it is not a rare thing to bribe mercenaries in the other army. Especially these mercenaries from another clan.
"There are...yes...it's possible!" said Shaka. "Especially...the black assassins in Essin...their principle is...no rejection of any request...no exclusion of any job...the one with the highest bidder wins..."
"That kind of army is the most reliable?" Asu Ruffat interrupted Shaka. "I don't want the kind of people who turn against the water at critical moments."
"The... war beasts of the Mod clan are the most reliable. You can... rent... or... buy them."
"War Beast?" The rat god did not introduce him to the war beast, so Ashu Rufat felt very fresh when he heard the word. He remembered the dark elves' war beasts - mainly cold beasts and multi-headed dragons.
"Yes...master...but they offer...it's very high..."
Ashurf nodded. "Shaka, call all the leaders of the clans over."
Each clan of the rat man can be said to be an independent kingdom. The rat man is a creature with a strong class concept. The clan leader, or warlord, has almost unlimited power. A warlord can promote subordinates at will or kill subordinates at will, regardless of whether they make mistakes. After Ashrufate became the leader of the Baku clan, he naturally possessed this right. He chose a slightly pleasing clan warrior from the clan warriors as the captain, and then chose another captain from the elite black fur warriors. In addition to these two, he also promoted Shaka, who had previously been temporarily the captain of the clan leader (actually not very appropriate to say this, because in fact, the captain of the clan leader is the Great Prophet, and Shaka is just the agent of the Great Prophet) to his own financial officer. Among the rat man, it is not easy to find a few that can be written and calculated.
Soon, the two captains promoted by Ashu Rufate came to his residence. From their proud expressions (now Ashu Rufate can observe the expressions of the Rat Man well), we can see that today's new appointment gave these two Rat Man great power. Due to Ashu Rufate's appointment, the two of them had the power to kick, insult, and subdue their original companions at will. However, correspondingly, when they face Ashu Rufate, the two Rat Man carefully observed their words and expressions, with flattery and respectful expressions on their faces.
This meeting is quite simple, because several subordinates dare not question Ashrufate's decision at all. Ashrufate asked one of them to lead the team to buy the war beasts and the other to inquire about the route. The Baku tribe cannot stay here forever near the Temple of the Rat Gods, so Ashrufate decided to lead the entire tribe to move to the border of a huge underground tunnel of rat people.
"Carrie, how are you doing? Is the situation better?" When the cave was left alone, Ashu Rufat asked Carrie softly in his mind.
"Well, master, it's basically recovered." Carrie's voice was still a little weak, but a little vitality had appeared. "The computing power has been restored to more than 60%.
"What do you think about me becoming the head of the Baku clan?"
"It's been made a good arrangement." Carrie replied. "It's impossible that things can be so coincidental. On the one hand, you came to the Rat Man society alone, and on the other hand, you were a clan who had lost his leader but was quite rich. I believe these were arrangements that the Rat God had already made."
"Well..." Ashu Rufate replied. "Carrie, I'll ask you something."
"Please say it."
"Why can the rat god teach me the language of the rat man directly? But you have to teach me how to learn?" Ashu Rufate asked.
"This...master, of course, it's because you don't have permission." Carrie replied in a embarrassed voice.
"In other words, you can also 'instill' language directly into me, right?" Asu Ruffat asked.
"It's true...but this will be at risk of side effects... Master, you are very smart anyway and can master the language with your own strength. Why use this method with side effects? To be honest, Master, why did you suddenly move? What are your plans?"
"Plan?" Ashrufate replied. "If I don't understand it wrong, the main task of the Rat God is to push the entire Rat group to join the war. As long as the whole clan can form a mobilization situation, the Rat people can easily gather millions of troops."
"More than that." Carrie corrected in his mind. "If the data provided by the Rat God is real data, then all the Rats will join the war and will probably gather an army of three to five million. Such an army... is a bit troublesome."
"Logistics is a super big problem," Ash Rufate replied. "But their food... seems a little different. After they eat once, they seem to be able to avoid eating for a long time."
"This is because of their special physiological structure." Carrie replied. "Under normal circumstances it is seven days. After eating a meal, they should have a second meal after seven days according to normal physiological needs. However, it seems that they can get a second meal in about ten days. Master, you haven't said what your plan is yet!"
"There are no special plans at the moment," Ashrufat replied. "You can only do things within your ability. First of all, we must strengthen the power of the Baku people and increase my own voice and influence. At present, even if we cannot convince them to send troops immediately, we must prepare for the logistics. After all, this matter cannot be achieved overnight."
"Master, if it is logistics, I suggest you can use the portal method."
"Portway? What does this mean?"
A virtual image suddenly appeared in front of Ash Rufate's eyes. It was an illustration diagram, explaining the construction method of a simple portal. This portal will use dimensional stones as energy, and the teleportation distance is about six or seven days. This thing is not complicated. Ash Rufate can confirm after taking a look. As long as there are magicians and craftsmen, anyone can build such portals based on this illustration diagram.
"Master, this is something I designed for you temporarily." Carrie said proudly in his mind. "If you use it, whether it is the mobilization of troops or logistics preparation, it will become a very simple little thing."
"Carrie... why did she give me this suddenly?! Could it be...the rat god gave it to you?"
"Of course it's impossible. How can that old model master this level of knowledge? Master, this is specially designed for you, designed by āIā." Carrie noticed the strangeness of Ashu Rufate. "Master, are you worried that this technology will be too dangerous to be mastered by the Rat Man? Don't worry, I have done a special treatment here. Look at the parts on the left... As long as you make sure you are responsible for manufacturing these key parts, then the Rat Man will not be able to master the mystery of this portal. Leave the portal for them as you have done. Anyway, this is a simple product and will be damaged after using it for a while. Look, I have thought it through so much... Huh, Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Carrie...Why...When you were in Sivania, you didn't tell me this?" With such a simple portal, maybe that war wouldn't be so hard at all. "You didn't tell me this when you led the expedition of the Shenwu Elves."
"Well, you don't have enough permissions... Huh, why did you have insufficient permissions at that time?" Carrie seemed a little confused in her voice. "You are obviously my master, and serving you is my task... Wait, master... I have to conduct a self-test..."
Ashu Rufat felt Carrie silent in an instant. It took a long time before Carrie's voice appeared in his mind again.
"What the hell is going on, Carrie." Ashu Rufat asked. To be honest, since he woke up, Carrie didn't know how many times he had blocked him with the reason "you don't have permission."
"Well... it's so strange, self-detection is completely normal." Carrie replied. "The database is normal, and the computing module is normal, and there is no problem. But I feel... it seems that a shackle that was once worn on me was lifted. It feels like I can fully use my computing power."
Ash Rufat didn't understand it very much, but he vaguely felt that Carrie had some change. This change should be related to a series of events such as this accident, including Yilan's raid and the rat god's reawakening Carrie.
"Carrie, are you okay?"
"Simple self-checking will not cause any problems." Carrie's voice completely returned to normal. "I'm afraid it will take some time to conduct a comprehensive and detailed inspection. Anyway, what we need to do now is to make a plan - according to my calculations, the rat people are too selfish, and the simple religious power is not enough to make them join this war. Then the only feasible thing is temptation!"
