Of course there is a clear relationship.

Based on Windlow's understanding of the rat people, this race is very fond of gambling and taking risks, and it is difficult for them to develop a long-term vision.

Then we have to deal with them the same way we deal with gamblers.

All the food was piled in front of the dwarf fortress. The unicorn was relieved when he heard that the food would be kept there for a long time and did not need to be taken back.

As for Windlow, he collected a backpack of food and started throwing out some food every few meters.

Just like the bait used to lure mice, or in other words, there is no particular difference between ratmen and mice.

The food was placed bit by bit, forming a line from the fortress to the entrance of the ratman cave. The bait was ready, and now all we had to do was wait for the ratman to take the bait.

Just after setting the trap, a ratman sensed the smell of food, ran out quickly, and after ensuring the surrounding environment was safe, he immediately began to devour the food.

As a businessman, Windlow certainly knows what is the most appropriate amount of concession to make.

That small piece of food was barely enough to fill the rat man's teeth, which made him feel even hungrier.

That's right, giving a little benefit can drive humans crazy, not to mention the rat people who are even crazier than humans.

He immediately looked for food everywhere, and it was obvious that he was attracted by all the traps set by Windlow.

We came to a place where a lot of food was piled up.

Faced with such a terrible temptation, the rat man hesitated for a moment.

It wasn't because he saw through the trap, nor because he realized that something was wrong.

But he had already eaten a lot along the way, so his hunger was relieved a lot. At the same time, after seeing the dwarf fortress and the fully armored Mousse guarding the food, he knew that he should not be impulsive. Yes, he should not be impulsive.

Windlow, who was standing next to the food at this time, also knew that the time had come.

"Oh no! The mountain road is too difficult to walk on. We will have to spend at least a week here!"

"What are you talking about? Why are you talking so loudly?"

"But don't worry, the food is absolutely safe here. We can slowly transport the food away, and then we will be safe."

"I advise you to keep your voice down. Even dwarves wouldn't be so loud!"

The conversation between Mousse and Windlow was never on the same level, and the ratman in the distance naturally only heard what Windlow said and the huge amount of food in front of him.

By Skaven standards, there were 20 piles of food, enough to feed an entire hive and maintain order for a long time.

After making sure he had memorized everything and the way to get here, the ratman immediately rushed towards the nest city. He had to report this matter to the clan leader in order to ask for sufficient compensation.

"The rat man ran away. He must have been fooled."

After making sure the rat man had left, Windlow lowered his voice and announced that the first phase of his plan had been successfully completed.

"Luring the snake out of its hole? That's your plan. It sounds and looks great, but I tell you, it doesn't make any sense."

As a dread lord, Mousse understood many basic tactics without any explanation.

It seems that Windlow used a very common tactic, which is not bad but not good either.

"I understand. You used food to attract the ratmen to the Dwarf Fortress, hoping to get rid of the ratmen with the help of the dwarves. As long as the threat of the ratmen decreases, the Dwarf Fortress will open its defenses. Then we will have completed the order of Gelt, right?"

Instigating or inducing other factions to go to war with each other is a unique talent of the elves.

The dark elves are naturally good at this kind of strategy, inducing different races to attack each other.

They were the first to develop the method of inducing the dwarves and high elves to attack each other.

So the irrationality of such a plan can be seen at a glance.

"First! Rat people do take risks for profit, but do you know how often they come? How many come?"

"Secondly, the dwarves are a stubborn race. They have decided to blockade the fortress and guard the corners. They will definitely not come out to help the two of us fight against the ratmen."

"Third! Even if we succeed in dealing with the ratmen, we won't be able to cause them serious harm. If they steal the food and run away, how can we chase them? By you? By me? Or by the dwarves' short legs?"

Every word Mousse said was heart-wrenching, but then he realized that something was wrong.

Windlo is a businessman, and he has never done anything unprepared along the way.

No matter what decision you make, you will think twice before acting. Even if you don't succeed, you will definitely leave a way out.

Coincidentally, while waiting for the Rat Man to take the bait, we can also talk about the most basic gambler's psychology.

The world is a huge casino, and everyone has to live in this casino, using his or her savings today to bet on tomorrow's harvest.

The chief of the ratmen clan in the hive had already heard the information about the food, and since it was not far away, he had also seen with his own eyes the large pile of food in front of the dwarf fortress.

Compared with other ratmen who only care about eating, as the clan leader, he naturally has higher needs.

How to steal things from the dwarves, how to resist the threat from other ratmen, how to get more dimension stones, how to buy longevity potions, how to buy weapons and squads, how to make the clan bigger, and how to get more benefits.

Now we can have a relaxing plan.

Use the food in the granary to hire slave rats under the nest and form a large-scale army to rob food.

Not only can they steal food, but they can also eliminate a lot of slave rats in the nest and maintain order in the entire nest.

Compared with the large amount of food in front of the Dwarf Fortress, it would not be a pity to use up a lot of the reserve food needed for investment.

You only need to wait for two days at most to grab the food. In comparison, the rate of return is very, very high. Yes, very, very high.

Most of the food was consumed, and the ratman clan leader immediately assembled an army of slave rats in the lower level of the hive.

At that time, they would simply dig a tunnel and attack from underground when the dwarves were not paying attention. After looting all the food, they could return the same way.

After receiving such an expensive reward as food, the slave rats also worked hard, constantly digging new underground tunnels.

Although the clan leader said that all the looted food must be returned to him, they could also fill their stomachs during the robbery and then return the food.

With the compensation already paid and the expectation of future profits, it took the group of slave rats only half a day to dig to the entrance of the dwarf fortress.

All they need to do is launch an underground raid and all the food will be in their pockets.
