From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 27, Sacrifice, Fire
Shortly after the war ended, the fleeing Lizardman army arrived at the edge of the forest and brought unbelievable news to the Lizardman priests stationed there.

As the news spread, the riots began.

But the Lizardman priests are more or less veterans. For the civilization of the tribal era, the surviving elders are undoubtedly not simple people, and those who are simple will not be able to survive.

Soon, a grand sacrifice began at the edge of the forest.

The priest successfully calmed the lizardmen's anxiety through this sad sacrifice, and at the same time completely placed their faith in Li Sheng. After losing too much of their manpower, the lizardmen lost the room for choice.

The old wise man chose to entrust the fate of the Lizardmen to the gods above.

At the same time, in this sacrifice, Li Sheng, as a god, also designated the next lizardman leader, a young lizardman who is the descendant of the lizardman leader.

A young lizard boy.

But the red light that descended from the sky awakened something latent in the young lizardman's body, and traces of red appeared on his scales.

This scene made all the lizardmen recognize the status of the young leader. It was only after seeing this scene that the lizardman priest truly offered his faith to the god.

However, even though Li Sheng performed a miracle and the lizardmen once again selected a leader, the atmosphere of this sacrifice was undoubtedly filled with sadness and sorrow.

The Lizardmen warriors who fled back lowered their heads, not even daring to raise them. The other Lizardmen who did not participate in the battle also had faces full of sadness, trance, and disbelief.

This scene continued until the newly elected Lizardman leader walked down from the altar and stood in front of the Lizardman warriors who dared not look up.

And scold loudly!

"My father once told me that our tribe has the most powerful warriors, and I think so too!
But tell me! Would a true warrior be like you now?

Look at how weak you are! Is this what a true warrior should be like? Have you forgotten what you should remember most?
Tell me! Have you forgotten your hatred? Are you too scared of those rats to roar?

Under the little lizardman's loud scolding, the group of lizardman warriors in front of him who dared not raise their heads, finally came to their senses in shame and trance, because of that simple word.

Out of hatred, one lizardman warrior after another raised their heads again and looked at the little leader in front of them.

Their spirit returned, in that unforgettable hatred.

Not far away, the old lizardman priest looked at the scene in front of him, looked at the small figure, and finally there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

Always look forward, as long as you can see hope.

Such a scene not only made the Lizardman Priest happy, but also surprised Li Sheng who was silently watching this scene from high in the sky.

Because there was a faint light emanating from the little lizardman leader that only gods could see.

The heroic light that can only appear from a hero, this light bloomed in this world along with the declaration of the little lizardman lord.

"My name is Fire! I will lead you to complete your revenge!"

After a ritual dance around a bonfire, the lizardmen left the edge of the forest and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

At the same time, another sacrifice was also going on. Compared to the sad and bleak atmosphere of the Lizardmen, the atmosphere of the sacrifice in another place was completely opposite.

In the ratmen's cave, the victory sacrifice reached its climax as the white rat personally presented the head of the lizardman leader.

Even though the rats, who had become much more sparse, seemed a little bleak, the blood mushrooms that were distributed still pushed the rats' fanatical atmosphere to the peak.

And amidst the huge number of sacrifices, which was so numerous that the underground lake was filled up by a layer, and the fanatical atmosphere, faith values ​​like a tide continuously flowed towards Du Yuan.

Two thousand, three thousand, four thousand, Du Yuan's faith value swelled to the point where even the divine stone pillar was overwhelmed and began to overflow. Fortunately, the faith value that continued to overflow was not wasted, but was led over by Xiaochun who was clinging to the stone pillar.

With this huge faith value, Xiaochun also waved the branches happily.

In the end, Du Yuan's faith value was fixed at a number that was far beyond the reach of an apprentice god: eight thousand.

You know, for ordinary apprentice gods, every point of faith value has to be carefully calculated, but Du Yuan completed the overflow with just one war, and it was also because the divine stone pillars were full.

Du Yuan has to start considering expanding the altar's storage capacity.

If many apprentice gods heard about this, they would probably go crazy with jealousy.

However, the issue of the altar's storage capacity is indeed a problem that Du Yuan needs to solve, but Du Yuan doesn't have any good solution at the moment.

Because this thing will usually increase slowly as faith continues to wash away the altar of divinity, and generally speaking, it will not be insufficient.

However, before dealing with this problem, Du Yuan had to complete another task first.

That is a reward for believers.

The harvest this time was very rich, and Du Yuan was not a stingy god, but it was obvious that he did not have anything particularly good to reward them now.

Because he is a poor guy.

He doesn’t have any of those magical equipment cards, magical spell cards, and magical item cards... This.

In distress, Du Yuan suddenly remembered something.

Those life essences that were forcibly taken away by the divine core were temporarily stored by the divine core due to Du Yuan's body's acceptance rate and released slowly.

Du Yuan had no way to take out these life essences and sell them for money, but could he use them as a reward through the connection between gods and believers?

Thinking is doing.

Soon Du Yuan started communicating with his divine core. Although the divine core was still reluctant, it still gave in compared to Du Yuan's plan to take it out and sell it for money.

A drop of dazzling liquid like a ruby ​​was squeezed out by the divine core, and through the connection between the gods and the believers, it was thrown towards the white rat kneeling in front of the altar.

It was done at an extremely fast speed, without even Du Yuan taking over. It was so fast as if he was guarding against thieves.
