From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 70: Concessions made by the white rat?

It’s just obvious that even if Mr. Li doesn’t want to accept these problems, they are there.

Even the lightning falling from the sky quickly and efficiently wiped out the panicked rats on the ground.

But the dragon egg was obviously irretrievable.

An angry roar sounded from that level that is unknowable to mortals.

"Du Yuan!"

………….

At the border of the forest and the wetland, when the fire and the dragon beast hurriedly left and the Rat War raised the battle flag again, the situation on the battlefield began to reverse.

Even though this time the rats were the party at a numerical disadvantage.

The army composed of kobolds and swamp murlocs is simply too inferior.

The gnolls were okay, weak but disciplined. But the swamp murlocs were a complete disaster.

Even though these stupid guys are not cowardly, their chaotic formation and weak fighting power make it difficult to be considered qualified.

After losing the plunder of fire and behemoths, Shuzhan easily commanded the ratman expeditionary force to tear open the swamp murloc's line, and then led the ratmen away.

It rushed into the endless forest and disappeared without a trace.

Leaving behind was the angry sea priest and the bitter-looking kobold leader.

Not long after, Huo returned here again riding the Black Dragon Beast, facing the lush forest in front of him and the empty front line.

Huo, with red eyes, didn't speak for a long time.

This scene not only frightened the ogre leader, but even the sea priest wisely shut his mouth.

Not long after, the fire was calmed down and he fulfilled his promise. He accepted the swamp fishmen and also restored the dog-headed people to their original positions.

At the same time, this huge coalition force was transferred back to the depths of the wetlands to clear out the scattered ratmen.

It was just one war, and the wetlands were devastated, and the Lizardmen won a hard-fought victory.

But what next?

Huo didn't know, he couldn't give answers to these questions.

………….

In the Desolate Mountains, in a secret room deep in the mountains closest to the temple.

The low sound of knocking on rocks continued to be heard.

Ever since Shu Zhan left the wetlands, news about him has been continuously coming to Bai Shu.

In fact, although Bai Shu had never been to the battlefield in person, he was indeed the one who knew the battlefield situation best except for Rat Zhan.

Even though those rat priests have been stationed in the rat army for a long time, they are still the spies of the white rats.

Except for the period of continuous rout after the failure of the siege of Old Qi City, when he lost news of the Ratman Expeditionary Force, he knew all the actions of the Ratman army and every sacrifice to the gods.

Not only that, he was also very clear about Shu Zhan's ridiculous little thoughts.

The idiot thought he was crazy and attacked him out of jealousy because he had received the gift from God.

Such was his stupidity.

As the most devout believer of God, the white rat would not be foolish enough to eliminate the rats favored by God.

Even after the idiot received the blessing from God, Bai Shu did pay more attention to that idiot.

But that was definitely not so-called jealousy. As the most pious servant of God, White Rat had long been different from those ordinary guys who vainly sought favor and return from God.

He is different.

He is the most pious. If the gods favor the rat people, then the white rat will also love the rat people. If the gods grant a gift to a guy, then he will also help that guy.

It’s not because the white rat loves the rat man, nor because the white rat likes to help anyone, it’s just because of God.

The white rat suddenly stood up and lifted the simple metal cover on the table. A gear emitting a faint blue light suddenly appeared.

The dim blue light emitted from the gear illuminated the dark secret room, reflecting the face of the white rat and the stone paintings displayed in the secret room.

When stone painting became popular among the rat priests, White Rat also took a fancy to this novel invention.

A large number of past scenes were engraved and placed in this secret room.

When the white rat first met the god, the white rat, who was still young at that time, held high the pillar that is now the god and looked up at the sky. Above the sky, there was a hazy shadow, and the great god was also looking at him.

There is a scene where the white rat and the spear rat are arguing and confronting each other.

The scene where the white rat killed the old lizardman lord during the lizardman invasion.

There is a picture of him kneeling at the altar to receive the blessing of the gods.

No matter which scene it was, the vague god was always hanging high in the sky, watching him silently.

The White Rat is the most devout believer of God and God's eternal servant. He will accept all gifts and punishments bestowed by God.

Whether it was the ruined furnace that fell into the abyss, or the divine weapon bestowed by the gods to Shu Zhan, Bai Shu knew everything.

The gods want to push the rat people forward.

The gods want the rat people to learn to harness the power hidden in the stone.

Rat people are so lucky to be favored and cared for by the great gods.

Pausing in front of the picture of the white rat's gift, the white rat lowered its head and squinted its eyes slightly, just like an ordinary old rat.

"As long as it's what God wants, that's what I'm going to do, but can those stupid guys really bear God's expectations?"

The calm words came out of his mouth with a chilling chill.

The metal cover on the dark blue gear was closed again, and everything returned to darkness.

The white rat finally accepted the return of Rat Zhan, but Rat Zhan would undoubtedly have to pay some price.

He has lost the qualification to hold the weapon bestowed by God. Rat Zhan will voluntarily hand over the Spear of Divine Punishment to White Rat in the grand ceremony in front of the temple. This sacred weapon will be placed deep in the temple.

At the same time, all ratmen armies must be formally incorporated into the ratmen priests, and the assignment of priests into the ratmen armies will also be the responsibility of the temple priest group that will be established soon.

The highest position in the rat army, the warlord commander-in-chief, will be officially demoted by half a level. From now on, every warlord commander-in-chief must be recognized by the temple's priests. This will be engraved on a stone slab as an oath and presented to the gods.

The white rat put forward harsh conditions and, in an unusually tough manner, knocked the rat leader down half a level.

If implemented
This would undoubtedly put the warlord commander at a disadvantage compared to the high priest of the temple's priest corps.

But this is not without benefits, for example, the white rat made a promise to the rat war.

He will fully support the Rat War's war, but at the same time, he will add an extremely awkward rule that the Rat Warlord will also be considered a member of the temple's priesthood.

If every ratman warlord enjoys the treatment of a member of the temple priesthood, then there is no doubt that the commander-in-chief, as the leader of the warlords, seems to have more say than before.

After all, the rat warlords who took over the military system from the Spear Rat were already much weaker than the rat priests led by the White Rat due to the drag of the original boss, the Spear Rat.

Even the powerful rat warlords would become much weaker in front of those senior priests.

But now we are on an equal footing!

This is just like the white mice are giving out benefits!
While forcefully destroying the status of the Ratman warlord, the White Rats actually gave the Ratman warlord more power.

This made Shu Zhan a little confused.
