From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 5: The Good Deeds of the White Rat

Soon, the rats came out in a stream and appeared in every corner of the mountains. The special products produced in the mountains were also placed on the altar one by one. However, the mountains were barren to begin with, and could not provide any offerings.

Bats, bugs, snakes, and more of that stuff, as well as eyeless fish pulled from underground lakes and bats from caves.

The spear rat didn't care about using these things as sacrifices, but the white rat's eyes suddenly turned red and it was extremely angry.

"How can a noble god enjoy such offerings!"

He shouted angrily at the Spear Rat, but the Spear Rat didn't care about the question.

"This is the only offering we can make."

A lazy response.

After escaping from danger, the Spear Rat's willingness to believe in Du Yuan suddenly decreased a lot.

This is also a common problem that many apprentice gods encounter after they have just anchored their clan. The powerful and outstanding individuals in the clan are not so convinced of the ethereal gods that cannot be touched or seen.

However, the growth of the clan depends heavily on these outstanding individuals.

The spear rat just lay down, with a few more ratmen around to serve him, looking relaxed.

But this situation didn't last long.

The annoyed white rat set its sights on the damn guy, stared at him briefly, and then looked away. It was obvious that he was not strong enough to challenge the spear rat at the moment.

His sight was fixed on the ordinary ratmen lurking in the caves.

Soon, a splash of blood broke the spear rat's comfortable and leisurely state.

Angry eyes were directed at the white rat not far away.

The white fur of the white rat was stained with a glaring red. A skinny rat-man was lifted high up by him and was struggling weakly in the white rat's hand amid the sharp hissing like a leak in the air.

Sharp teeth tore open the thin rat man's throat, and blood splattered everywhere, some of which splashed on the spear rat's face.

The Spear Rat looked at everything in front of it in shock and anger, watching the White Rat pour the blood spilling from the Ratman in his hand into the underground lake, and place the gradually stiffening Ratman on the altar.

The cowardice and timidity of the rat people never affect their cruelty and ruthlessness.

College of Gods.

Du Yuan came to the Logistics Management Office again, and he selected the remaining two divine resources, a luminous moss and a cave mushroom. Both of these things were prepared for the ratmen.

After investigating the environment near the rat people, Du Yuan discovered a very frustrating reality.

If this group of ratmen want to fight their way out, then the only direction left is really that forest. In other words, the only way they can go is to fight to the death with the lizardmen.

Only by defeating the Lizardmen can we break out and obtain more abundant food and greater space for development, but the biggest problem now is that we cannot defeat them.

A thousand ratmen were able to fight back and forth with a squad of only fifteen lizardmen, not to mention that Du Yuan might not even have a thousand ratmen in his hands.

It would undoubtedly be wishful thinking to rely solely on these ratmen to defeat the lizardmen in the forest.

So Du Yuan prepared these two things and planned to give them out as rewards during the first official sacrifice of the rat people.

Relying on the underground caves, this should be able to provide the ratmen with a stable source of food. After all, if the food depends entirely on fishing and catching bats in the underground lake.

No matter how many bats and fish there are, they can't withstand this kind of creation.

As for why these things have to be given during sacrifices, it has to do with the image of the gods.

If you want to be a qualified god, then it is best not to receive rewards without reason. The easier it comes, the less you will cherish it. This is a common problem of wisdom.

Moreover, Du Yuan's Spring's Call was not loaded immediately, ready to be used in the first official sacrifice of the rat people.

At that time, you can spend a little more faith and use the divine core to activate the divine card at the moment the divine card is loaded. This will give you an exceptionally good effect and make the divine card particularly obvious.

Combined with the rewards of luminous moss and cave mushrooms, it is just right to support Du Yuan, an apprentice god.

At the same time, these two things are just right for the rat people. Only when the food problem is solved can they talk about development. Du Yuan needs more rat people.

After the exchange was completed, Du Yuan left quickly. At this time, some unusual ripples were stirred in the school.

Some people started to inquire about the news, especially about the rat people. However, among this year's trainee gods, Du Yuan was probably the only one who had any connection with the rat people.

Du Yuan didn't know about this.

After two consecutive anchoring failures, and after seeing clearly the morals of his former friends and distancing himself from them, Du Yuan became a loner and lost a large part of his source of information.

In the dormitory, Du Yuan sat cross-legged and descended again along the connection of the divine core. In a flash, Du Yuan came to the sacrificial world again, but he had just arrived when he found something wrong.

and many more?

Didn't he remember that there were a thousand ratmen? How come there were so few in the cave all of a sudden?
After surrounding and killing the Lizardman squad, Du Yuan's ratmen suffered heavy casualties.

However, the number when it was initially anchored successfully was large enough, and it only dropped from more than a thousand to around a thousand.

How come there are only 800 left now?

One fifth is gone in an instant, that’s not a small amount!

Could it be that the lizard people or something else came to attack us?

He couldn't help but be concerned, after all, the rat man was related to his path.

He quickly investigated, but soon he discovered where the disappeared ratmen had gone: in the water, or in the underground lake, or more accurately, they died in the underground lake.

The underground lake was dyed red, and the corpses of ratmen of all sizes were floating on the surface of the lake.

A stone pillar that was also dyed red stood in the center of the underground lake, and the stone altars around it were filled with hideous rat-man heads of all sizes.

There was a long silence.

He didn't know why the scene turned into this terrifying evil god sacrifice scene after he was away for just a while.

No, who did this?

What are you doing!

Well, the culprit was not difficult to find, and soon, Du Yuan found the source of all this.

That was the guy who was excitedly commanding the ratmen to push their own kind into the lake, the guy that Du Yuan was just about to train vigorously, the white ratman!
This guy actually chopped down two hundred ratmen and pushed them into the lake for sacrifice.

After a long silence, Du Yuan felt that he might not need so many sacrifices.

His mouth opened and closed, and finally, a complex expression of helplessness appeared on his face.

Things have already happened, and Du Yuan has no way to pull up the two hundred rat men who have already been soaked. As for using the oracle to rebuke the white rat and make him stop, Du Yuan rejected this idea after thinking about it.

If the loss cannot be recovered and the white rat's faith is shaken, then it would be a bit of a loss.

And now the situation among the rat people is also somewhat complicated.

After the incident caused by the white rat, the rat people's belief in Du Yuan became even more divided.

The believers became more fanatical, and many of the ratmen who followed the white rat became senior believers, about sixty in number.

On the contrary, the group of ratmen who followed the Spear Ratman directly became unbelievers, and even the Spear Ratman himself was no exception.

There were two hundred of them in this group.

As for the centrists who are still alive and have not been pushed into the underground lake by the white rats to shiver, they are a mixture of non-believers and shallow believers, and there are about five hundred of them.

As a god, Du Yuan has his own stance. Even if what Bai Shu did cannot be said to be inhumane, it can be said to be extremely unscrupulous.

But Du Yuan could not attack him, firstly, he was Du Yuan's only fanatical follower, and secondly, almost all of Du Yuan's followers followed him.

Believers are Du Yuan's foundation.
