Chapter 33, Collusion Between Rat Lords and Rat Priests

Contradiction Armor, these three revelation cards have been used by Du Yuan.

Overnight, in a divine revelation that affected all ratmen, the concepts of spears, shields, and armor were also popularized.

Even the group of young ratmen following the ratmen army rushing in the forest had many rough spears made of sticks and simple shields made of tree bark in their hands.

There was also the wooden armor that was casually made of two wooden boards tied together by ropes.

Such a large group, no matter who came, they could not be called elite.

However, the young ratmen were happy to do this, following the ratmen army all day long, calling excitedly.

The young ratmen who had not yet been selected and differentiated into the two groups of slave rats and ratmen warriors were the most active and unrestrained stage in their lives.

Although this stage was not long-lasting, when the change would occur depended on when the ratmen army they followed found some suitable enemies.

Suddenly, with a sharp shout, the march of the ratmen stopped.

The commander-in-chief who was blind in one eye was the first to stand on the high ground, and behind him was a group of ratmen warriors in a fairly neat formation.

In fact, the things in the hands of these ratmen warriors were not much better than those of the young ratmen. They had rough wooden spears, simple and inferior wooden armor, and bark shields in their hands.

But compared with the young ratmen, most of the ratmen warriors had two spears, or some extremely powerful rats had three.

Most of the ratmen warriors would master the skill of tail-holding weapons in the tempering of battle, and some ratmen with superb combat experience would even abandon wooden shields and hold three spears.

Moreover, the discipline of these ratmen warriors was much better than that of the young ratmen.

The noisy sound was transmitted from the front of the army by the young ratmen to the end of the team.

For the upcoming battle, these young ratmen are more fearless and excited, at least before the battle begins.

Because in the past few months, the ratmen have faced a favorable and stable growth environment, well, maybe it is a favorable environment for ratmen.

After being born and eating a delicious and strong blood mushroom, the ratmen will spend the first two months of their lives in the nursery caves dug out in the mountains.

They will also grow from the size of a puppy at birth to almost one meter tall, comparable to the size of a big dog, and then they will be taken to the altar of the gods by the priests.

Here, they will hear the priests singing praises to the gods, eat the second blood mushroom in their lives, and feel the effect of the berserk technique for the first time.

After completing this set of procedures, they will be taken by the priests to chase the ratmen troops wandering in the forest looking for sacrifices and enemies.

If they are lucky, their first trial will start soon.

Of course, even with such a quick development, the ratmen are still a member of the intelligent race. Their ancestors may have chosen a humble way of survival for various reasons long ago.

But since they are an intelligent race, they are always favored by wisdom.

These young ratmen are not stupid guys. In fact, compared with their bodies, the ratmen's brains are more perfected faster.

In two months, the ratmen's brains can be fully developed and their intelligence reaches the average. In this regard, it will take a long time for the body to grow to the standard height of about 1.6 meters.

In fact, the ratmen are not too short. At least they are much taller than goblins, dwarves, and goblins. However, the ratmen's hunched movement makes their height reach the shortest level in terms of perception.

The stopped ratmen army dispersed and drove the large group of young ratmen following behind to the front.

Across a sparse bush, a valley appeared in front of the ratmen.

A messy camp was in the middle of the valley.

And this was the target that the rat army was looking for.

A large number of young rats were driven towards the camp in front of them.

This was their coming-of-age ceremony, to survive a war, or a massacre.

Yes, it was a massacre. Even though they were blessed by God, the rats gradually began to change.

But good eyes knew that if the running priests did not join the battle, the cowardly rats would still be rats.

The rats were not very brave.

The huge charge disturbed the owner of the camp, and a group of jackals wearing messy equipment and holding various bone weapons came out of the camp.

And he was puzzled by the group of rats rushing towards him, and the anger that followed.

In the roar of a particularly tall jackal.

A group of gnolls also rushed out in a huge crowd.

They fought with the group of ratmen in front of them.

Soon, the two sides fought in a group, killing each other in the chaos.

There was no collapse at the first touch, and even under the leadership of a young ratman holding a spear, the chaotic battle continued.

Of course, this scene did not cause any fluctuations in the good eyes. In fact, the collapse was about to happen.

When the leading young ratman was killed on the spot by the jackal leader, the collapse began, and a large number of ratmen began to flee in all directions.

It was just the first battle, and the reality was to tell these young ratmen the real disparity clearly.

In the absence of priests, the word bloody battle basically would not appear in the choice of ratmen.

In this scene, soon, the rat army behind the young ratman began to charge.

Compared with the unbearable performance of the young ratman, the performance of these ratmen warriors was obviously much better, at least they already had some formations that a unit should have.

And the vast number that occupied an absolute advantage.

Soon, these 5,000 rat warriors completely overwhelmed the small jackal tribe in front of them.

They completed the one-stop service of killing, looting, replenishing personnel, and capturing slaves, although most of the captured slaves were those fleeing young rats.

Among the 2,000 young rats transported by the priests this time, only about 100 rats will become rat warriors. In fact, this number should be a little more, or it can be much more.

However, under the constant demand of the white rats for the number of slave rats, those helpless rat priests can only come to the rat lords who lead the troops with red eyes.

The rat lords once thought that if they could not satisfy these priests, they might not even mind tying themselves up to make up the number.

Without much hesitation, the rat lords began to drive the young rats to attack some scattered tribes found in the forest, and then sent those scattered tribes and dead young rats back as sacrifices.

As for the young ratmen who survived, they were treated casually, and most of them were sent back to be slaves.

In this way, both targets were met, although the young ratmen might suffer.

But the young ratmen had no rat rights.

Anyway, those red-eyed rat priests would continue to send young ratmen over.

Therefore, under the impetus of collecting sacrifices and the request for more slave rats, the rat lords and rat priests decided to make the young rats suffer.
