Chapter 260: The fate of gods is entrusted to mortal beings
During the war, a cemetery was officially built.
There are countless tombstones without words.
Mountain Dew Cemetery.
Bloodstained soldiers stand here, and flowers come from the Golden Wheatfield Academy. This should be a solemn thing, but the figures gathered here look a bit tired and numb.
Corpses were buried one after another in the tomb.
The endless stream of rat men came over again, climbing the towering city wall day and night. The big man in the rat tide became increasingly impatient.
The support was very reluctant. Many different voices appeared in the city, but they were all suppressed by the Stargazing Pope.
It's not that there's no good news.
Pope Stargazing once again received a reply. A powerful warlord made a decision and was willing to help the city.
Yes, warlord, during this period of time, in the turmoil, the decaying empire has almost reached the point where it can barely support its name. The controllers of each province have essentially become independent warlords.
Originally, the former governor of the Golden Province should also take this step.
It's just a pity that the arrival of the Rat Man ruined everything.
Golden Wheatfield Academy, a prosperous area, a large number of magic knights accumulated in the richness, and this huge city, all of these are bargaining chips. It is not surprising that in the high spirits, the name of this city was also changed. Mountain Dew named.
It's just a pity that the arrival of the Rat Man will change everything.
The city is no longer safe. Even if the underground rune pillars firmly suppress the activities of the ratmen underground and prevent the large armies of ratmen from outside the city from pouring into the city, there are just too many tiny loopholes in the passage of time. .
Those small loopholes cannot prevent scattered ratmen from entering the city.
The pitch-black rat-men completed their inauguration in the darkness. In the neighborhoods where city residents gathered, even if candles were lit, torches were placed, and the flames drove away all the darkness, they could no longer stop the influx of rat-men.
A small neighborhood was captured by the Ratmen.
A crude altar and piles of corpses were left behind.
It’s scary, but it also serves as a declaration.
The city defenders did not appear, nor did the Holy See knights.
They were struggling to deal with the rat army outside the city.
From the beginning to the end, the rat people did not put all the chips in their hands. The city in front of them was not worth it. Machines, this is all that appears on the battlefield.
Quantity is also power. After failing to respond effectively at the beginning, it is useless to struggle with how much power we have now.
After these cowardly rats gathered into a boundless tide, they would submerge this majestic city.
Recently, the conflict between the nobles in the city and the Stargazer Pope has intensified.
When these great nobles faced this situation, they didn't have much idea of advancing or retreating with the city and its residents. They came up with another method.
Leave the city.
This is an idea that is only circulated among the great nobles, and is not realistic. For most people in this city, if they abandon the city and break into the wilderness, the rat people are not fools, and they will not give up on those who leave. The towering and solid cities were temporarily unable to cope with the rat-men's attacks, let alone the open wilderness.
Even if some people can escape, I'm afraid this city and most of the people in this city will have to be cut off.
The Stargazer Pope rejected this proposal. It is not surprising that the key to preserving the church and believers is the city and the believers in the city who believe in the Stargazer God, not the great nobles.
However, the gradual deterioration of the situation gradually made those great nobles think about the possibility of this strategy.
The ancestors of these great nobles were once famous heroes and figures in the history of this city, or in other words, the history of this land.
A temple to the great god was erected on the outskirts of the golden wheat field occupied by the rat men. The scarlet water swayed, corpses floated, and something new appeared on the main continent. Scarlet began to fill the golden wheat field.
The pollution from the gods, from the scarlet blood pool.
If the time drags on for a little longer, then I am afraid that the Youyan people will retake this land, and the golden waves of wheat that symbolize fertility will no longer be possible.
But it is also possible that the abundance no longer belongs to humans.
In a very short period of time, complex and messy networks were established by the rat people in the ruins of this golden town.
The arriving rat farmers took over the layout of the human village and town.
It's hard to tell whether the rat people are moving towards civilization, or whether they are running wildly towards the wilderness without any scruples, even though they have actually formed a huge empire.
But how can I put it, although they know little about civilization, they are able to explore the scratches among the ruins left by the civilized country.
After a large number of things belonging to the Nether-Eyed Human Race were unearthed from the ruins, they were used by these low-level rat people with half-understanding.
At least the pot was actually used by rat mercenaries, rat ranchers, and those rat free people.
There seems to be something wrong. With such a process, it stands to reason that this is not the first time that the rat people have come into contact with such a thing, but the large-scale use and learning has just begun now. Not to mention the near one, the wild boar people are far away. He is good at cooking.
Just thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem strange.
The real civilians and the real free people in the Ratman Empire only really began to appear after the Rat War and the Ratman Priests parted ways, knocked down the towering mountains, and led the army into the vast grassland.
The structure of the Ratman Empire has not been from the bottom up since the tribal era, but from top to bottom. It is only now that demands other than gods, sacrifices, beliefs, blood mushrooms, and rights have begun to really emerge. .
Because of the gradual expansion of rat free folk, rat mercenaries, and rat ranchers, because of the gradual expansion of these groups.
In the ruins of the village, the curious rat people rummaged through the ruins to find one novel thing after another, trying to understand and use it.
Picking up the scraps of civilization left in the ruins.
Mountain Dew.
With the recruitment and replenishment of soldiers, the situation has not improved much.
The boundless rat warriors screamed endlessly under the towering city wall, climbing up the towering city wall while stacking on top of each other.
The defense was very difficult, relying on rotation to barely support it. However, even so, the spirit of the defenders on the city wall was gradually tightening, and they were almost reaching their limit.
Stargazing Pope is gradually becoming more and more tough. He has already seen hope for those big nobles. A huge army is about to march here. All he has to do is to hold on.
In the city, the private armies of the great nobles seemed so dazzling at this time.
In the midst of their toughness, the great nobles gradually formed a group, and at the same time, some small tricks were used.
The Blue Mountain Dew Family, after the Stargazer Pope intervened, this once powerful family that was in charge of the province gradually fell silent. In name, the master of this city still sits on the throne of the castle in the center of the city. In fact, everyone knows that this is just an excuse, a name, and the youngest son is just a puppet.
Pope Stargazer was really kind to that pure girl. That night, he did not hesitate to bear the name of cruelty and killed all the young men gathered in the hall. He even specially sent a pair of Holy See knights to garrison the city. Near the center of the fortress.
All the turbulence in the city seems to have not affected this place.
Under the bright light of the mage rising into the sky, even the flowers in the flowerbed still maintained their vitality, were delicate and swaying.
The pure girl, or Madam as she was now called, was still beautiful, with a dazed expression on her face from time to time, and her clothes were changed to a simple black color.
A well-protected flower is not a sign of contempt. In fact, being able to be protected with such care is a blessing in itself.
She seemed to be particularly sad. After the trance, her eyes were focused more on the young child in the flower garden. It is not surprising that mothers care about their children. This is an instinct.
But as the canary in the cage, she has obviously neglected many things recently.
The youngest son has changed a lot. Recently, a child who was obviously not that big has suddenly become a lot more mature, acting like a superior. This is nothing. After all, if the youngest son can grow up smoothly, then He was supposed to be a big shot, as long as the city existed, and as long as the Stargazing Pope existed.
The Stargazing Pope really regarded the pure girl as his own relative, but this guy who had been working for the Stargazing God all his life was not always able to express his love so smoothly.
This young boy made a mistake recently, and it may not have been his decision to do so. After all, what can such a young child understand? It's just that he was guided involuntarily.
The young son felt that he should be the master of this city, and he was somewhat hostile to the Star Gazing Pope for no reason. After all, the Star Gazing Pope didn't really care about the young son, nor did he care whether this place still belonged to You. Blue Mountain Dew family.
This shouldn't be the case, but the lady in the black dress didn't pay too much attention to all this. During this period of time, she was often in a trance, or maybe she was vaguely complaining deep in her heart.
Complain about the old man who is always serious and distant.
A banquet was held in a magnificent mansion in the center of the bright city, and the Stargazing Pope was invited.
The red carpet rolled out of the door, the waiters running back and forth, and the nobles who were still dressed neatly and decently.
A stargazer pontiff in purple robes appeared in front of the gate, escorted by a group of Vatican knights who had obviously just retreated from the battlefield and were covered in blood.
As the situation became increasingly critical, the Holy See knights could not help but step out of the city and charge back and forth on the battlefield to relieve the pressure on the defenders on the city wall.
Their arrival immediately silenced the voices on the field. These blood-stained knights were somewhat incompatible with such an environment.
The attendant in front of the door reacted first and greeted him with a smile on his face. However, he was only glanced at by the blood-stained Holy See knight. His steps stopped and his body trembled a little more.
The Stargazing Pope ignored the guys standing in front of the door and strode forward behind him with a cold face, followed closely by the blood-burning Holy See Knights.
He ignored any rules and did not leave any face for the guys gathered in this mansion. This was a dangerous signal, which meant that the Stargazing Pope and these great nobles were about to completely break up.
They have the ability to influence the fate of this city, and even the ability to influence the outcome of the battle higher up, in the sky.
Above the sky, where nothing could be observed, in the scarlet realm, Du Yuan was panting.
He dragged many human demigods into this scarlet arena. This was a stalemate duel. The situation was gradually changing. These guys had a lot of good things in their hands and there was no shortage of resources. Even if Du Yuan went first With one step, they were caught off guard and dragged into this endless duel. This caused the gods to stay away and dealt a huge blow to the church that these guys left in the small world.
But it is a big problem to completely suppress them, although this is also related to Du Yuan's stubborn choice.
The god of stargazing was still held tightly by Du Yuan's neck and dragged on the sky without breaking his divine body, which might allow him to revive in the mortal world again.
This is a huge limitation.
restrictions on Du Yuan.
These demigods took out a handful of instruments that were overflowing with light, and their authority and divine power collided wantonly with Du Yuan in the scarlet color.
They seemed to be aware of Du Yuan's thoughts, and after the initial panic, they confronted Du Yuan.
This rigid decision made Du Yuan feel helpless.
In a disguised form, the decision-making power of this battle was handed over to the mortals in the small world, to the rat people.
Each of the demigods in this scarlet realm has the power and ability to stir up troubles, which can last until they truly ascend to the gods and are excluded from the world.
Demigods, not perfect, still possess a part of their mortal nature, which gives them the ability to exist in the world.
They are almost the pinnacle of existence in each world.
But now, these guys, all of whom are just one step away from becoming real gods, are all bound by Du Yuan in this scarlet realm.
The fight between them, the victory or defeat between them, and even the fate of each of the demigods, including Du Yuan, all fell on the mortals in that small world.
It fell on the rat people and the ghost-eyed people.
The body of the God of Stargazers being dragged by Du Yuan was trembling slightly. He was afraid, because the Ruoyouruowu connection was collapsing, because he sensed a serious problem, and his believers were abandoning him.
The rat people are wreaking havoc in Mountain Dew City. Perhaps because of their long-standing habit, the standing churches have become the first targets of attack.
This is where the stargazing god feeling comes from.
Of course, it's more than that.
If Mountain Dew City is breached and the rat people completely destroy the city, then that will be the death of the Stargazing God.
After the death of the star-gazing god, Du Yuan could free up his hands to capture another demigod and wait for the collapse of his faith in the stalemate.
This is of course a stupid way, an inefficient way.
