Chapter 280, fellow countryman, blood mushrooms, good stuff!

Shu Zhan is thinking about the possibility of his retreat being cut off.

Thinking and pondering, at this time, the disadvantages of his over-centralization of power are revealed. He has a lot of power in his hands, but few people can use it.

There are too few rat warlords, and there are almost no rat warlords who can stand alone.

How to solve the current dilemma.

While thinking, Shu Zhan thought of some guys.

There was a bit of joy on Shu Zhan's face.

This is a dangerous signal. It is really not a good thing to be targeted by this guy, but the guys he targets often have no more choices.

That is a group of suitable guys, a group of guys who are not threatening but can be used a little, very suitable guys.

………….

Rat people are a group with tenacious vitality.

This is reflected vividly in many aspects, such as cockroaches, no, to be precise, they are more tenacious than cockroaches. After all, cockroaches are just climbing instinctively, while rat people can rely on wisdom to avoid many dangers.

The rat people in the main continent have gradually stabilized in recent times, and even rebounded in number.

Because the other alien races in the dangerous areas of the wilderness mountains, those more powerful guys were destroyed in the sweep of the rat warlords, and a large area was vacated.

However, the intensity of capturing them has been declining.

After accumulating some savings, the rat warlords will give up the sweep of these rats, and the methods of those rat mercenaries are gradually understood in encounters again and again.

These rat people in the main continent abandoned their lifestyle in underground tunnels in a very short time and turned to wandering on the surface.

The threat still exists. The invasion of rat mercenaries is like a dark cloud covering the head, and the arrival of those rat wanderers is the thunder brewing in the dark cloud.

One is the catcher who brings direct threats at any time, and the other is the invader who migrates and constantly invades the land. It is hard to say which side is a greater threat to these guys.

These guys are in a state of panic all day long, but they are very good at reproduction and can eat.

In the wilderness, a rat disaster brewed by the rat people of the main continent has already shown signs, and the abundance of that moment has become the nutrients for these guys to reproduce violently.

The old rat elders made a decision that they would leave this land after accumulating a wave of rats, heading deep into the continent, and escaping from these strange fellows.

This would be a long journey with a tragic color.

It should have been like this, until a guy holding a wooden stick, wearing inferior leather, holding his head high, and with arrogance on his face returned to his original group again.

These guys did not resist the return of their companions, or perhaps it was because of the power brewing in this guy, which belonged to the elders.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that this guy brought some good things, a stone pillar carved with fine patterns, some bright red mushrooms, and the belief in gods.

This is the situation that will only occur under the instigation of the arrogant guy Rat War.

In the entire Rat Empire, only this guy dared to use the temple of God and the sacred blood pool as a bargaining chip.

The rats of the main continent have not tried blood mushrooms, but their reaction to blood mushrooms can be traced, after all, both sides are rats.

This bright mushroom can almost overwhelm everything, and it also has enough power to make some changes in a very short time.

As long as more rats taste it and eat one, everything will go smoothly.

With the name of the messenger, this returning guy became the leader of this main continent rat in a very short time. The wise and old rat elder died in a turmoil.

It was a bloody turmoil, and the rat elder was protected by the most powerful rat warriors in the main continent.

To be honest, the rats of the main continent seem to be much more civilized than those in the Rat Empire. The elder system, various myths and revelations, and some special customs are all traces left by civilization.

Perhaps in the distant past, there was indeed a prosperous rat kingdom on the main continent.

The strongest rat warrior on the main continent was indeed brave, and even not so afraid of death, but there was a problem. How powerful could a rat man be?

Moreover, the returning guy was not alone.

In the bloody turmoil, some stunned and indifferent guys showed their traces. The sharp spears pressed down neatly, like an insurmountable high wall, and the powerful rat warrior could not cross it.

He was killed on the spot, and the rat elder he protected soon followed suit.

On a protruding boulder on the barren mountain range, a stone pillar with complex patterns stood, and the blood pool had not yet stained the blood color. The elder and the warrior hung high.

A guy danced excitedly, and behind him, some stunned guys stood quietly.

Wearing cheap leather and holding a rough wooden stick, he was so excited and happy.

It's not surprising. After all, not long ago, he was one of those inferior guys, but now, he has transformed himself and is qualified to lead a great temple of God.

Great God, great God!

He was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

And not only that, that big man, that noble big man, the big man from the Holy Empire, also made a promise to him.

As long as he could do those things smoothly, he would be qualified to go to the Holy City.

This was something that could make the body tremble instinctively just thinking about it. Going to that Holy City was like no longer being a humble person.

Of course, this was not without cost.

But he could do everything for this, he swore, and the cost was really not worth mentioning.

His eyes fell on the people of the same race gathered in front of him, the uneasy crowd of ratmen.

The cost was really not worth mentioning.

On the altar, this guy shouted loudly, and the ratman elders and warriors were beheaded as the first batch of sacrifices. The ratmen gathered here all had some confusion on their faces.

Even though this happened in their crowd, they were still confused, as if many things suddenly collapsed in an instant.

Blood mushrooms began to sprout in the blood pool that was gradually dyed red.

But they no longer had the qualifications to regret.

Gradually, many rat caravans came here, and many things that they had never dared to think of before were thrown here, food, weapons, crossbows, and various war machines.

All of this was made by Shu Zhan, and it was obvious.

In his opinion, these rats on the main continent were an extremely excellent chess piece.

Excellent, these guys were not yet a member of the Rat Empire.

To solve the problem of retreat, investing in a rat warlord can do it. You only need to enrich a part of the accumulated resources in your hands. It is impossible to make the rat warlord brave enough to start a counterattack, but it is still possible to make his army expand by dozens of times and have the qualifications to entangle with the royal knights.

But this is not a very good idea. Shu Zhan does not trust his rat warlords.

And it is not that there is no better way. These rats on the main continent even bring their own dry food, which is obviously more suitable, and he does not need to pay much, some weapons, some resources, a verbal promise, and a god stone pillar.

These are not particularly precious things to Shu Zhan.

As for the promise, of course, Shu Zhan will keep his promise, and this is not a particularly troublesome thing.

However, whether this guy can successfully reach the underground rat city is a question that is not yet known.

The temple guards have put all the temples of the great gods under control, which is a reverse scale for these guys, but there is a guy who likes to jump left and right on this bottom line. Of course, the temple guards really have no way to deal with Shu Zhan for the time being, but this does not mean that they will not do anything to a small rat priest after knowing this.

At this time, the identity of the temple leader given by Shu Zhan is a death warrant, but this is not experienced enough. The guy who was working in the sea not long ago is obviously not qualified to know these things.

Shu Zhan will certainly fulfill his promise and send this guy to the underground rat city, to the city that is extremely sacred and great in his eyes, but there is one thing that is not guaranteed. Shu Zhan did not guarantee that he would send him there alive.

Something always needs to be burned in the war. Now, some guys have brought their own dry food. Although it is not qualified as a high-quality fuel, it is not a big problem to make do with it.

The rats on the main continent began to prepare. These guys will step onto the battlefield soon. For the great gods, for the victory of the rat empire, for the Eastern Expeditionary Force, for the reputation of Rat War, and for blood mushrooms, these guys will fight bloody battles.

This will be a cruel war, but they will not get nothing. They can get faith. At least in the eyes of Rat War, allowing these unfavored guys to believe in the great gods is indeed a gift, and not only that, these guys will also get blood mushrooms.

The blood mushrooms swaying on the corpses in the bright red pool.

……………….

The situation in Lianyan Province is rapidly deteriorating, or it can be said that since the appearance of those dazzling golden knights, the situation has not been better.

The rat warlords are retreating step by step.

Continuously retreating, wandering in this land in a panic.

Qi decided to do something, and he was doing it.

Running silently on the mountain, with the army behind him, the goal was the depths of Lianyan Province, a place that the rat warlords had never reached.

The core of humanity on this land was in that place, and Qi would never retreat so easily.

In the past, he dared to gamble his life to become a rat warlord, and dared to run wildly on the vast grassland. After becoming a real rat warlord, he did not lose his courage.

He was going to hold a grand sacrifice.

As for what he would encounter after this grand sacrifice, he did not intend to think about it, and would talk about it later.

But now, he was going to hold a grand sacrifice.

The rats had an inexplicable obsession with sacrifice, which might come from their motivation for war.

In fact, this war was part of the third war of gods that had not yet ended.

This ultimately makes this war different from ordinary wars. In this war, although failure is so unacceptable, if you set off a grand sacrifice before failure, the situation will be different.

The war of gods is a war to offer sacrifices to gods. In this war, victory is important, but offering sacrifices to the great gods is equally important.

This is why Qi chose to take risks.

A grand sacrifice is indeed very important to him.

In fact, whether he really still has the courage he once had is unknown. It’s just that many people, many intelligent creatures, become more cowardly and hesitant when they hold something in their hands.

Especially the rat people.

Does Qi really still have the courage he once had?

The golden armor was painted black to make himself more inconspicuous. If he continued to move forward, it would be difficult to predict what he would encounter. The rat warlords did not move forward to the depths because the towns of all sizes in this area were too tempting, and because the troops stationed on the river were obviously not that easy to mess with.

Qi's silent march was also interrupted when crossing the river.

Several warships with lighting appeared at the end of the river. This is a relatively stable river channel, which is convenient for crossing the river and sailing.

Qi is the first guy among the remaining rat warlords to move in the opposite direction.

Before becoming a rat warlord, almost all of these guys were so brave, because only bravery could have that opportunity, or in other words, bravery is just a prerequisite. Whether it is killing the leader and seizing the flag on the battlefield, or surviving in a chaotic battle to accumulate enough merits, it requires courage.

Even if it is the easiest way to accumulate merits, if you can do it, it is enough to declare your own specialness.

Because the way to accumulate merits is just an easier one among the many impossible ways to become a rat warlord.

It is an easier one among the impossible ways.

But it is still the same sentence, when you have nothing, you often have more courage.

This is no exception even for Qi.

Courage is fading.

But Qi is still moving forward.

Desire is a very important thing for rat people. The burning fire of desire can replace many things, including courage.

This burning flame of desire can drive everything and is the step to progress.

Although more often, if you are not careful enough, it is more likely that you will be ignited by desire and burn nothing.
