Chapter 48, Spear of Divine Punishment

A huge crowd of ratmen poured into the small camp.

Rat Zhan did not pursue the ratmen army any further, and this time the battle was won.

The subsequent finishing work began with the busyness of the priests.

The hunched ratmen priests led a group of screaming young ratmen to fish out the bodies of lizardmen in the wetland, but some bodies trapped in the muddy swamp were particularly difficult to fish out.

These young ratmen were particularly clumsy, and many priests were so angry that they screamed, and some impatient priests even jumped into the swamp to fish themselves out.

Of course, the result of doing so was not necessarily good. Soon, there were more ratmen priests struggling and thrashing in the mud.

In the midst of the stumbling, many bodies were piled up in the center of the camp.

The ratmen priests built a simple camp in the center of the lizardmen camp that had just been defeated.

The mud on the lizardmen's corpses was carefully cleaned, and the heads were removed and piled on the altar.

With a particularly barbaric and bloody smell, the rat priest who handled this scene did not think it was wrong, and even the rat warriors gathered around the altar.

If there is a time when these noisy rat guys can really calm down for a while, it may only be when they offer sacrifices to the gods.

In front of the barbaric altar, the rat war stood with the priests. The other rat warlords were only a step weaker than them, and even the great commander looked the same.

After completing the preparations, the rat priest waved his wooden stick high in his hand, shouting excitedly and excitedly.

Praise the gods, sing praises to the gods, the great gods.

Such simple words were excitedly called out and repeated over and over again, like a babbling child, but their expressions, tone and actions were so pious, serious and excited.

Soon, the priests' piety was spread to the most ignorant young ratmen, then the ratmen warriors, then the senior ratmen warriors, warlords, and then all the ratmen present.

All the ratmen shouted loudly at the moment, sang the greatness of the gods, and praised the great gods.

Fanatic and excited, just like a grand carnival.

This is a qualified sacrifice accompanied by the rising power of faith.

The power of faith that rushed to the gods with pious calls and recitations.

The sacrifice ended, the ratmen gradually stopped shouting, and the priests were ready to put away the lizardmen's heads placed on the simple altar.

At this time, a beam of dazzling golden light was cast down.

It was cast on the rat war on the altar.

In the unbelievable eyes of the surrounding ratmen priests, the gods bestowed a gift on the rat war!

………….

Soon, along with the lizardman's head, the news that Rat Zhan had received a gift from the gods was also sent back to the depths of the mountains.

The white rat who received the news did not show any other expressions, but in the dim secret room, there were some grinding sounds for no reason.

In the lizardman wetland.

Rat Zhan looked at an ordinary wooden spear in his hand and fell into deep thought. Beside him, a ratman priest was staring at the wooden stick in Rat Zhan's hand.

The desire and greed in his eyes were clearly visible, because this ordinary wooden spear was a gift from the gods to Rat Zhan, a real artifact.

That was a gift from the gods, a gift from the gods, a real artifact!

The ratman priest was jealous and almost crazy. Why didn't he get this gift? Why didn't he get this gift!

The more he looked at the wooden spear, the more jealousy he had in his eyes.

But he was a coward and didn't dare to hate the god who gave the gift, not even a little bit, nor did he dare to hate Shu Zhan who got the artifact.

In the midst of boundless jealousy, he had a little more respect and obedience to Shu Zhan.

A cowardly mouse.

Of course, the wooden spear given by Du Yuan was not a good thing, and it could even be said to be made on the spot. According to Du Yuan's standards, it was not a magic weapon at all. It was just a wooden spear taken from the battlefield by Du Yuan and given some divine power.

But for the rats, it was a magic weapon, because this wooden spear was the first physical object given by Du Yuan.

At the same time, there was also a message attached by Du Yuan, which was not complicated, a simple number, three.

This meant that as long as the rats held this wooden spear in their hands and asked Du Yuan for it, Du Yuan would be able to launch three attacks, or in other words, divine punishment.

This was Du Yuan's reward for Shu Zhan's promotion of military reform, and also Du Yuan's help for the rats in the next war with the lizardmen.

At the same time, it is also the source of Shu Zhan's current troubles.

Looking at the wooden spear in front of him, Shu Zhan thought for a long time, and finally, reason defeated his inner greed.

He stood up, holding the wooden spear in his hand, and walked to the front of the rat priest not far away.

But in the end, the struggle came up again, and the words that were about to be said became.

"Please tell the respected White Rat High Priest that I am only holding this Spear of Divine Punishment temporarily. After completing the crusade against the Lizardmen, I will personally enshrine the Spear of Divine Punishment in the temple!"

The original idea of ​​sending the artifact back immediately changed to another statement in the inner struggle.

This will inevitably cause some trouble for him. You must know that he was sent to this position because of the White Rat's suspicion of good eyes.

Just holding the spear in his hand, Shu Zhan was unwilling to let go no matter what, in the dazzling golden light, in the great honor.

In Shu Zhan's words, the rat priest who unconsciously brought a trace of awe hurriedly went to call for the news.

Looking at the rat priest who left in a hurry, especially looking at the trace of awe he unconsciously showed, Shu Zhan couldn't help but hold the spear in his hand, the Spear of Divine Punishment given by the gods.

Perhaps this rat also had some different ideas in his mind.

The subsequent war continued, but after that sacrifice, especially after the gods bestowed the artifact, Shu Zhan's position in the rat warlords suddenly became extremely stable.

Of course, there will be subsequent changes. As the god of this group of rats, Du Yuan certainly knows what kind of people his family members are.

But Du Yuan still did it, because Du Yuan wanted to promote his own ideas and let the slave rats change from theocracy slavery to theocracy military slavery.

And how to promote it, that is naturally reward. As long as Du Yuan is willing to reward those rats who have caused the transformation, plus a little patience, then as time goes by.

Naturally, the rats will become what Du Yuan wants to see.

As for the little problem attached to this beginning, it may cause a small conflict between the white rat and Shu Zhan.

Du Yuan would not deliberately push for it, but if the Ratman warlords could break away from the control of the Ratman priests and change from dependence to parallel, then Du Yuan would be happy to see it.

Now all the resources of the Ratman are basically controlled by the priests, but the priests alone will not have combat effectiveness, Du Yuan needs a more powerful army.
