From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 71, Temple Priests
The deal between White Rat and Rat Zhan was conveyed by the ratman priest who was running back and forth. Rat Zhan did not return to the Desolate Mountains immediately, but wandered hesitantly in the lush forest.

Admittedly, he was smart and was sure that the white rat would not kill him directly, but Shu Zhan's choice proved that this was not absolute.

He was still afraid of his old boss, the crazy and scary old white rat.

It was not until the messages constantly passed on by the rat-man priests running back and forth were confirmed that the two sides had reached an agreement on the deal.

Faced with such generous conditions, even though Shu Zhan felt that something was a little wrong, after thinking it over, it seemed that it would do him no harm at all, so he naturally accepted it.

And during the bargaining process, Shu Zhan gradually calmed down and became bolder.

Finally, the ratman expeditionary force, which had been wandering in the forest for several days, returned to their base camp.

This difficult expedition came to an end.

Moreover, the return of the expeditionary force did not even cause much waves among the ratmen. At this point in time, all qualified ratmen have set their sights on something more important.

The temple priesthood that is about to be established.

As the rules were constantly revealed by the white rats, all the rat priests who felt they were qualified rushed back from all directions and crowded into the temple where the gods were worshipped.

Because soon, after Shu Zhan, who was favored by the gods, handed over the divine weapon in his hand, Bai Shu would officially begin to select members of the temple's priest group.

Even Shu Zhan only stayed in the fortress at the entrance of the desolate mountains for a few days.

When he thoroughly understood what the White Rat was planning to do recently, he did not hesitate to abandon his army and set off in a hurry with the newly appointed rat warlords.

Following the tunnel dug out of the mountains, we ran wildly towards the underground city where the Ratman Temple was located deep in the Desolate Mountains.

Shu Zhan wants to see Bai Shu now. He wants to confirm the promise conveyed orally by the priest. It is urgent and important!
After the Lizardmen were defeated in the First War of Gods, their numbers expanded rapidly as large tracts of forest were occupied by them.

The rat people almost obtained overflowing resources from the abundant supply of resources in the forest.

A large number of young ratmen were born, and were quickly filled into the ranks of slave rats and ratmen warriors. Of course, most of the young ratmen were actually filled into the ranks of slave rats.

The rat priests were also born from rat warriors and slave rats.

In a very short period of time, the ratman tribe under Du Yuan expanded like a balloon.

Brought many problems.

For example, the ratman army, even with good eyesight, made some changes to the spear rat model.

But it didn't bring about any huge changes in essence.

It's nothing more than that he used to be a squad leader following the Spear Rat, but now the Ratman warlords are following him.

It's just a name change, the resource allocation model has not changed.

In the past, the rat army was small in number, and it was easy for a team leader to be killed in the massive charge.

Even though most of the blood mushrooms sent over were still eaten by the spear rats, the dead team leaders would always be selected.

If there were more blood mushrooms, they would leak from the spear rats to the rat army, and all the rat warriors would see it. But now the size of the rat army has expanded dramatically, and the rat warlords are gradually no longer setting foot on the battlefield, but all the blood mushrooms are still eaten by the good eyes and warlords.

Even if the blood mushrooms sent by the priests become more and more, the rat warlords will get used to leaking some blood mushrooms.

However, most of the ratmen warriors no longer see blood mushrooms.

This resulted in the increasingly large ratman army becoming increasingly weaker in combat effectiveness in the hands of Haoyanshen.

This problem was not solved until the White Rat became suspicious and dissatisfied with Good Eyes, and then after the Rat War was airborne, and in the Rat War's attack on the rat warlords.

The problems that arise within the Ratman army are just a microcosm of the problems within the entire Ratman kingdom.

Yes, the current number and size of the ratmen are enough to be considered a kingdom.

The rapidly expanding scale is almost overwhelming some of the structures from the previous rat tribe era.

In addition to the rat-man army whose combat effectiveness had been declining, there were also the terrifyingly large and idle rat-man priests.

Compared to the rat warriors, who were cheap guys who would only be added if they died, the rat priests were mainly responsible for the management and maintenance of various parts of the rat kingdom.

For example, most of the rat priests born from slave rats will eventually become commanders of slave rats, and appear in the development and construction of underground cities, the excavation of mountain tunnels, the maintenance of mushroom grow rooms, the supervision of the breeding of young rats, and even send young rats to the battlefield.

All in all, you will find an embarrassing problem.

Yes, almost all internal affairs are maintained by the rat-men priests who were born from the slave rats.

So what about those priests who were born from rat warriors, or those guys who simply admired the greatness of gods when they were young rats and transformed into rat priests?
Those guys, those guys are enjoying themselves.

As a group of excellent rat priests without defects and large claws on their hands, they naturally discriminate against their colleagues who were born from slave rats.

So naturally all those complicated matters were thrown to those colleagues whom they thought were despicable.

However, more than 80% of the resources flowing to the ratmen priests ended up in the hands of these guys, because they had a firm grasp on a series of critical matters, including the management of the blood lake, the maintenance of the temple, and sacrifices.

If you are a priest who has awakened since his youth, you will gain a lot of resources even if you do nothing.

The blood mushrooms will come to your door.

The awakened rat priests are inferior to the rat warriors.

The only hard requirement for this group of guys is to remain loyal to Du Yuan, but obviously, doing nothing and gradually dragging down logistics as their numbers accumulate, makes many things a mess.

These guys have been giving Du Yuan a headache just to sort out the logistics of the ratmen recently. The power of faith they contribute is not much more than that of the big claw priests who do the dirty and tiring work.

It can be said that the rapidly expanding Ratman Empire, except for its still-expanding population, is in chaos in everything else.

The reason why it still maintains its current stability and has not collapsed is because that group of discriminated big-claw priests are still maintaining it.

Second, and most importantly, is the existence of white mice.
