Chapter 143: The beginning of the rat war, the young priest hated by people and dogs, the story of the humble
Rat War learned about the disappearance of the world barrier before the group of rat priests.
Leading a team of rat knights, he climbed up the towering mountains.
Until the lush grassland came into view.
Eyes wide open.
Climbing up a high mountain and looking down from above, you can see the world in front of you more clearly.
Vast and empty.
All you see is green, endless green.
But it makes people feel excited.
Shuzhan likes this kind of open space.
Waving the spear in his hand excitedly and shouting loudly.
No reason or motivation is needed.
Rat Zhan gave up fighting with the rat priests in the lush forest.
Shu Zhan felt that he would gain more by focusing his energy on the vast area in front of him than by fighting with those rats in the forest.
Under the gaze of the white rat, that damn old guy really should go to see God earlier.
There was no way they could really fight.
Quite boring.
The conquest is about to begin.
Believe me, being spotted by a rat man is never a good experience.
On the vast grassland.
Everything is moving, chasing the lush pastures and the running cattle and sheep.
There aren't many fixed cities.
They won't even settle in one place for too long.
The creatures nurtured by the grassland regard the vast universe as their home.
The large number of tents gathered together is the embodiment of civilization.
This gives them a unique advantage.
flexibility.
Obviously, Shuzhan had never dealt with such a flexible opponent.
But it doesn't matter.
He had mobilized a large number of ratmen, and the towering mountains that served as natural barriers were quickly penetrated by the ratmen's digging.
A crude fortress was built in the mountains.
A large number of rat priests were driven to this vast grassland by the Rat War.
At the same time, the huge rat army led by him entered a state of standby.
Just waiting for a message.
They would then file out of this simple fortress.
It would undoubtedly be foolish to rashly bring his troops into the vast grassland in front of him, but fortunately, Shu Zhan now has a large number of cannon fodder who have arrived spontaneously.
There is no need to even use too much words. You just need to tell them that the grassland before them is filled with a large number of sacrifices, enemies of gods, and unimaginable glory.
Then these young priests will begin to explore spontaneously.
Well, it looks like the scouts have been completely replaced by these young rat priests.
But it is not surprising. The priests of the gods, who are considered precious and scarce in other races, have always been in an overabundant state in the ratman kingdom.
This is still for those more normal rat-man priests.
Those big-clawed priests who were born from slave rats have long been reduced to mining, road construction, babysitting, and carving.
Such an embarrassing position.
This is undoubtedly a waste for other races.
But it is normal for rat people.
Even after years of accumulation, the large-scale redundancy of ratmen priests has even become a huge problem.
Those fledgling rat priests, those young rat priests who were in the happiest period of their lives.
They are not content.
Crude conspiracies and means as well as grand visions, all together in the minds of these young and restless guys, will give rise to all kinds of strange and terrifying ideas.
For example, there was once a young rat priest who gathered a group of colleagues and tried to break the barrier between the underground rat city and the underground sewer.
Tried to create a massive flood to submerge the underground Rat City as a sacrifice to the gods.
Fortunately, these guys don't have as strong hands-on ability as those numb big-claw priests.
They dug crookedly.
Interestingly, they wanted to use a flood that would wash out the underground rat city as a sacrifice.
But the first thing that was submerged by this flood was Du Yuan's temple.
These daring guys dug the water veins around the temple.
It just went in the wrong direction.
Otherwise, if they really succeeded, Du Yuan would probably be so angry that his nose would be crooked.
On that quiet day in the underground rat city.
A team of young ratman priests dug open the water veins, and the rushing water swept these guys all over the place.
Yes, when they took action, they did not consider their retreat.
And the water that was knocking them this way and that was red.
They dug out the blood lake in Du Yuan Temple.
On that day, they were placed on the altar and executed by the black-faced white rats themselves.
A new rule has just been issued: except on the day of the grand sacrifice, young rat people are prohibited from approaching the temple at any other time.
This kind of nonsensical and strange thing happened more than once among the underground rat people.
Some young rat priests knocked out the big claw priests in the breeding room, dragged in those young rats who had not yet reached adulthood, and started a civil war.
The banner of overthrowing the temple priests and spreading the glory of the gods to every believer of the gods was raised. However, they were easily defeated, and the knocked unconscious big claw priest, the offending young priest, and the young ratmen who were taken hostage were all executed.
From then on, the Big Claw Priest in the breeding house became more wary of the young ratman priests.
In addition to these glorious deeds, the young priests also did things including but not limited to.
Try to steal the giant bell inside the temple.
Attack the team transporting blood mushrooms.
There are also those who gather their companions to attack the Big Claw Priest and snatch the slave rats.
There are countless things like this.
It is hard to say whether the establishment of the Rat Assassins has a direct relationship with these troublesome guys.
But we have to admit that these young guys are indeed the most energetic, fearless and freest stage in the Ratman Kingdom.
Of course, their reputation soon became as high as that of those annoying young rats.
Soon they were even much worse than those young rats.
People hate dogs.
They are young ratmen, but they are a group of young ratmen who have begun to grasp power in their hands, a group of young ratmen with greater destructive power.
But it is also such a group that is able to transcend some of the obscure and strict rules in the Ratman Kingdom.
For example, this time there were a large number of rat priests who set out from the Underground Rat City to flee to the Waste City and the Furnace City.
You can occasionally see some Skaven Priests in groups.
Young rat-man priests and young rat-man priests, young rat-man priests and rat-man priests, young rat-man priests and warrior priests.
There is also the young ratman priest and the big claw priest.
This is why, although the young ratman priests have harmed many big claw priests, the big claw priests have not completely banned the young ratman priests from approaching.
Even the young rat priests are one of the few groups in the rat kingdom who can get active help from the big claw priests.
These young guys are far from being as arrogant as the official priests.
The young rats were able to obtain some weak rats that should have been eliminated, and some old or disabled slave rats from the Big Claw Priest who was in charge of the breeding house.
These guys who are looked down upon are the greatest help that the Big Claw Priest can provide.
But it also became the beginning of the young rat priests' pursuit of their dreams.
Just like this time.
Teams of young rat-men priests, accompanied by all kinds of old, weak, sick and disabled people, marched towards the vast grassland in front of them with a few empty words.
In some teams, even Big Claw Priests will take the initiative to join.
Not every Big Claw Priest is as crazy as Long Claw, and not every Big Claw Priest has the opportunities that Long Claw has.
In most cases, even if you want to, you can't change anything.
For them, those complicated tasks are both a constraint and a guarantee.
Even if they are all complicated jobs such as taking care of young ratmen, digging mines, opening tunnels, and maintaining cities.
But that's all they could do, because their huge claws made them incompatible with the normal rat people and they had to associate with the slave rats.
Spending time on complicated work, even though everything is hopeless, you can still get some limited resources in the end.
You can expect to get one or two blood mushrooms of the darkest color every month.
But away from these jobs.
Then remaining silent in the dark corners of the city is their only choice.
Young rat-man priests are so rampant and are treated at will.
Who cares about a group of humble guys praying silently in the dark.
They are even more worthless than the young ratman priests.
Until the twin cities fell, until the blood mushrooms began to sway in other places.
This changes a lot of things.
One of the most insignificant things was to give a chance to those restless young rat priests and to those big-clawed priests who had not yet become completely numb.
Here in the rat war.
Because Shu Zhan was the most arrogant, this arrogant guy disdainfully looked down at the guys below him, and simply looked down on these young rat priests, who had fought so hard for nothing.
Even when a rat war is needed, these guys will be used as cannon fodder.
Even if they worked hard to obtain the blood mushrooms, only half of them would reach their hands.
However, these big claw priests and those young rat priests still prefer to come to the Crucible City dominated by the Rat War.
He joined the Rat Warrior, who did not like the Rat Priest very much and even had great hostility towards him.
In the Waste City, those greedy guys have detailed regulations for some things, and everything is neat and orderly.
At the same time, everything is handled by them and exploited by them.
And Shu Zhan's arrogance at least gave them hope.
In one difficult adventure after another, in one arduous journey after another.
Wandering in the lush forest and trudging through the muddy and dangerous swamps.
Every day, a large number of young ratman priests and big claw priests fall everywhere in this area of the world.
But every day, the young rat priest and the big claw priest are one step closer to their dreams.
Yes, it is a dream. These humble guys are actually the few guys in the Ratman Kingdom who have dreams.
Accumulate merits, obtain blood mushrooms, and become a formal ratman priest.
By accumulating merits and obtaining blood mushrooms, perhaps you can become a formal ratman priest.
Capturing some goblins would be a good harvest.
Escaping from the Lizardmen is an epic experience that can be boasted about.
If you are lucky enough to capture a complete Lizardman in the swamp, in addition to the blood mushrooms that you can get, there are even ratmen warriors willing to exchange blood mushrooms for the tip of the Lizardman's tail.
It is a rich harvest and also their legendary story that can be passed down.
Cheap story.
But it is a story that was written with great effort.
