From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 42: The Great Purge
Looking at the chaotic scene in front of me.

Until a beam of silver-white light pierced through the cave deep in the mountains.

A big hole was punched in the overflowing blood lake, and it was raised high. The newly built pyramid altar was broken by one third almost instantly.

All the efforts of the white rat during this period were destroyed almost instantly.

Even the white rat itself was soaked by the blood water like a drowned chicken.

But Bai Shu didn't care about this. He stared blankly at the figure in front of him, looking at the figure that appeared as a ray of sunlight penetrated into the depths of the mountains as the cave was broken.

It was a figure that seemed like a mountain.

With just one glance, the white rat confirmed His identity, their own god. The god appeared before their eyes, even if it was just a phantom.

This scene was what he had thought about day and night, a scene he had imagined countless times. He could see God and sing praises to His greatness in front of Him. However, this scene today was different from all of his countless fantasies.

There was no satisfaction, no appreciation, no joy in the eyes of the gods, only incomparable indifference and a hint of disappointment.

How glaring this disappointment is.

I have disappointed the gods. I have disappointed the gods. Silent regret echoes in my heart, as if it has turned into a poisonous insect gnawing at my soul.

The body couldn't help but tremble.

All the ratmen present were stunned. Such a scene made them confused about the situation, but the appearance of the god's shadow shocked them greatly.

He was completely frozen for a moment, not daring to even move.

Fortunately, this scene came and went quickly, and the shadow of the god disappeared in just a short moment.

Only a chaotic mess was left behind.

In complete silence.

The white rat was the first to stand up, just as he was decisive when he was a young ratman and the first to make the decision to convert to God and take the gods away.

It climbed high up on the altar, like a hunched giant rat, but it was standing on a pile of sacrifices with their heads cut off, looking down at the group of rats in front of it, its sharp eyes filled with madness and viciousness.

"God has come! Give us your blessings. This is the most glorious moment for us ratmen!"

"Hail to the gods! Hail to the gods!"

"Hello to the Nezumi! Hello to the Nezumi!"

Under that cold gaze, all the rat warlords and priests present lowered their heads. At the same time, such news swept through all the rats in the mountains and forests like the wind.

All the Skaven in the mines.

All the rat people knew the result of this sacrifice.

The god gave his blessing and watched over the rat man.

"Hello to the gods! Hello to the rat-men!"

Even the slave rats were proud of this and cheered in jubilation. It was a jubilant scene, but in this celebration there was a hint of gloom.

All the rat warlords, all the rat priests who participated in the temple sacrifices, as witnesses of this glory, felt somewhat unnatural, fearful, and complicated, especially some fanatical priests.

But very quickly, these fanatical priests appeared in the abyss.

That night, White Rat learned everything that had happened recently, what had happened in the forest, the actions of the priests and the warlords, and everything.

The white rat may know why the gods are angry.

He was motionless in the dark cave. He was clearly a pure white mouse, but he disappeared into the darkness without a trace. The ratmen failed the gods' expectations. The gods did not need a weak and complacent ratmen, and the ratmen did not need those greedy priests who were under the banner of the gods.

Even he himself had unknowingly become one of these greedy priests.

Today, he had distorted the will of God. He had become a sinner and could no longer be considered a devout believer. However, White Rat did not hesitate at all.

The gods were disappointed in themselves.

Because of recent events.

But the gods did not completely give up on the rat people.

This gave him a little hope, just like catching a possible drowning rat.

He cannot lose control over the rat people. If the great gods have not given up on the rat people, then the person who can lead the rat people back to the gods' sight and have the chance to be praised by the gods must be him.

If he were convicted of guilt by other ratmen priests.

Bai Shu's position as the supreme commander could no longer be secure. He could not lose this position. He had already disappointed the gods, and now he had lost this position as the supreme commander.

So can he still get the attention of God?
No, the white rat couldn't accept it, the white rat couldn't accept it.

The greedy and selfish rat people would certainly not put the glory of the group above their own, but the keen white rats could clearly perceive it.

The gods never look at an individual, but at the entire group of ratmen.

White rats cannot leave gods, so white rats cannot leave rat people.

The rat man wants to atone for his sins, and the white rat wants to lead the rat man to atone for his sins.

Only the white rat can help the rat people atone their sins!

At this moment, the white rat stared with its red eyes, and in this dim secret room, the madness in its eyes was clearly visible.

Even after being baptized by the essence of blood and flesh, the effect of the blood mushroom that penetrated deep into its bone marrow could not be resolved.

Madness is still with us.

after that.

Amidst the celebration, a brutal purge quietly began.

Some Skaven warlords and priests were chosen as targets of this purge.

All the priests who had previously contacted the ratman warlords and were responsible for transporting slaves and young ratmen were executed and thrown into the Black Abyss. The ratman warlords who were too greedy and turned a blind eye to the whereabouts of the lizardmen and pigmen were also executed and thrown into the Black Abyss.

All the rat priests who participated in the temple priests and had some inappropriate thoughts about the white rats were secretly executed and thrown into the abyss.

During this period, there was even a riot among slave rats led by rat priests.

But all this did not shake the white rat's position, and the cleaning continued steadily.

And along with the purge of those priests and warlords, some young ratmen were also rotated to become new warlords and priests.

Under the command of White Rat, the huge army began unified preparations. The fortress under construction in front of the mountain abandoned its original defensive purpose and gradually began to become a huge rat-man breeding and training base.

It was transformed from a defensive fortress into an offensive building.

At the same time, there was no hesitation or delay.

After completing the first phase of integration, the ratmen troops immediately began to march, their target being the lizardmen who had settled in the swamp wetlands.
