Chapter 77, Hog Rider
The huge black-haired wild boars were carrying the pigmen knights wearing heavy armor running in the forest.
Even though the knights on their backs were covered with heavy metal armor that covered their entire bodies, it was obviously not a burden for the huge black-haired wild boars.
They carried these heavy knights and ran easily in the forest.
The ratmen outposts that had been clearly detected and marked were destroyed quickly and purposefully.
The gods behind these knights had great ambitions.
Almost within a day, most of the western corner of the vast forest was completely destroyed.
The howling wild boar knights easily destroyed those outposts where only a few ratmen were stationed, trying to cut off the ratmen's vision of this area.
But these guys obviously overlooked a more important direction.
That is underground.
Those underground nests hidden underground and scattered throughout the forest almost immediately transmitted the information of the appearance of these wild boar knights to the direction of the desolate mountains.
Rats were running fast in the underground tunnels, and the news was sent to the ratman outpost at the outermost edge of the Desolate Mountains that night.
It was a pity that this did not attract much attention.
Recently, all the capable ratmen in the ratman kingdom were swept into a huge vortex. They gathered in the underground rat city, greedily and eagerly waiting for everything in the underground rat city to settle down, and other news was almost ignored.
By mistake, Du Yuan's ill-intentioned neighbor started the invasion at almost the perfect time.
It can be predicted that before the huge storm caused by the white rats in the underground rat city subsided, it would be difficult for a ratman army comparable to the expeditionary lizardman to be organized to deal with the invasion of this guy.
Of course, this does not mean that there will be no rats who are anxious about this matter.
On the contrary, one ratman was so anxious that he was about to go crazy.
In the ratman outpost, a ratman priest was facing the news that kept coming from the direction of the forest, and he was so anxious that he was scratching his head.
Yes, those damn guys, those greedy guys, those guys who thought they had a chance all went to the underground rat city. They could all witness the birth of the next generation of big men with the distribution of power in front of that sacred temple!
But what about him! He can't!
At this time, in an underground cave deep in the ratman outpost, a young ratman priest waved his arms angrily and irritably.
He felt that he was extremely unlucky!
Even though the ratman outpost is indeed far less huge, complex and prosperous than the underground rat city where the great god's temple stands.
But as the gateway to the desolate mountains, it is a huge fortress that was dug and built day and night by a large number of slave rats.
And because of the slave-catching teams stationed here, it also attracted some powerful and prestigious ratman priests to come.
After the senior priests who controlled the slave-catching teams gathered here, they naturally became the actual managers of this fortress.
At this time, a slave-catching priest who held the greatest power in the rat fortress was roaring in anger and venting in panic. After a short venting and roaring, he showed a look of despair. This was a young rat priest. His name was Sheng Qi. The name came from the day when he awakened to become a rat priest. The rat priest who came to receive him in person just caught slaves in the forest. A total of seven slaves were caught. Those slaves were tied with thick ropes. So his name was given. The rope tied seven slaves, and he became Sheng Qi. Sheng Qi accepted it happily, and he did well afterwards. The rat priest who gave him the name was also fortunately promoted to a senior rat priest. He chose to stay and formed a slave-catching team by himself, becoming one of the top managers of the rat fortress outpost. And Sheng Qi also relied on the relationship that his name was given by the old guy, so he naturally completed the surrender, and then it was the current situation. His boss, the damned old guy, and other old guys all went to the underground rat city to watch the fun, and he was left to temporarily manage the slave-catching team.
Originally, this was nothing, after all, the huge slave-catching team did not follow the old guy to the underground rat city to watch the fun, and he only needed to wait for the tribe in the forest that was targeted to mature and then lead the team to capture a wave.
He could even steal some slaves for himself as sacrifices, although they were set a hard requirement to give out 500 slaves in seven days.
But there was no requirement for the race of the slaves.
Five hundred goblins would be fine, five hundred rabbit people would be fine, and those noisy frogmen, no matter what kind of mess, anyway, five hundred would be needed.
Even though Sheng Qi felt that he probably couldn't wait for the group of deer people in the forest that had been targeted by the old guy to mature, he could go to the river to fish out frogmen, and then go to the small barren hill to catch some goblins.
That was also possible!
He had thought it through before. This time he must capture more, even if it was goblins and frogmen, which were not favored by the old guys. Although he had no way and no qualifications to offer sacrifices to the gods in the lofty temple and record his achievements, the old guys had all left the outpost.
As the temporary manager of the slave-catching team, he can also use the precious little temple built by those old guys.
Offer sacrifices to the gods there, and then ask the slave rat craftsman who specializes in carving stone paintings for those old guys to carve a stone painting for himself to add some merit to himself!
This is pretty good too!
For a newly inaugurated rat priest, this is undoubtedly an extremely satisfactory start!
Until the sudden invasion of those wild boar riders happened.
Those damn guys swept through a large area to the west of this lush forest.
And because the old guy he served had just taken office, the slave-catching area he was assigned to was not only the worst, but also happened to be the westernmost land.
Normally nothing happens, but that group of mysterious guys who had been silent suddenly invaded!
Such a sudden change interrupted the young priest's imagination for the future and forced him into a desperate situation. The news spread upwards did not receive a reply.
And if you can't pay enough slaves, the old guy who went to watch the fun will definitely not take responsibility. There is no need to think about it, he will be sent to take the blame!
Then it will not be him offering sacrifices to the gods, but he will become the sacrifice!
Damn it, what should I do?
The young priest with red eyes was thinking frantically in his mind about how to solve this situation.
It is obviously impossible to count on that old guy. That damn old guy is still dreaming of his dream of being a temple priest!
But there must be no less slaves to hand over!
What can be done! What to do?
That’s all we can do!
In a daze, the young rat-man priest who was about to go crazy made a bold decision.
