Chapter 333, Holy War!

Chapter 333, Holy War!

The rats present, the rats in this sacred temple, and the rats of great figures, they have waited for this blessing.

They have finally waited for this blessing.

At this moment, it was as if they had just woken up from a dream.

They began to shout loudly.

"Great God, great high priest!

Great God! Great high priest!"

Fanaticism and excitement.

The flame of desire was ignited again. This group of guys is always like this. They can't see the piety of the white rat kneeling in front of the altar, they can't see the blessing given to every rat by the great god, and the only thing they see is that the death of the white rat made the great god bless.

A civil war has entered the intensive preparation stage.

Just after the death of the high and mighty commander, not long after the blessing of the great god fell.

There is almost nothing that can prevent the occurrence of this civil war.

If you still want this deformed country to continue to exist.

Faith is the cornerstone of this empire, the rat priests are the cornerstone of this empire, and the big claw priests are the cornerstone of this empire.

This is a situation that cannot be changed. Perhaps only by understanding this point can you understand why the first one to be eliminated in this turmoil is Rat War.

Yes, war is extremely important to the rats, but faith is more important.

Rat War's unrestrained will completely tear apart this deformed and twisted country.

So Rat War became the first guy to be eliminated.

It's just that the rat priests are also useless. No one understands the virtues of these guys better than the white rat.

The white rat looked down on them, so the white rat pushed the temple guards onto the high platform and tore apart the authority of the rat priests.

The rat empire is just a broken wheel forcibly glued together by faith.

When the white rat was alive, he didn't want to make any changes to this terrible situation.

Distortion itself brings piety.

Distortion of boundless suffering, wailing that always lingers on this land, and the never-ending war.

This is what he wanted.

This is what White Rat wanted.

Until his death, until he successfully built a throne for his great god.

Changes must always continue.

Such a distorted state can no longer be sustained.

White Rat certainly realized this, but, even though it caused so much suffering and wailing, he still insisted on one point.

The rats must be pious.

In such a situation, he left behind the Rat Council, the group of rat priests who were still high above, and a national system that was almost irreversible.

This was intentional.

It was as if he did not leave a designated successor until his death.

It seemed fair and gave all rats a chance, but in fact it would only bring chaos.

The title of Rat High Priest was left in the Rat Council, but everyone understood that there would never be another Rat High Priest as high above as White Rat.

Quarrel in this council, quarrel at this long table, can no longer unite together, can no longer be reconciled into a complete whole.

Only in this way, only in this way will the rats crawl forever at the feet of the great gods, and only in this way will there be an endless supply of cheese on the golden plate.

The sage born among the rats used his life to cast an extremely vicious curse on his fellows.

Unable to unite, embrace chaos, embrace abnormality, and then embrace gods.

How vicious.

After a busy period, all the rats on the field hurried to leave.

Sheng Qi was pushed towards the door of the hall by these guys, but turned his head back when he was about to leave.

In such a rapid turmoil, the faction of the rat warlords was almost completely wiped out.

This is related to the extreme practice of Rat War to concentrate power.

But Sheng Qi, the incongruous leader, seems to have become the only remaining weighty guy in the military faction.

At least he is still qualified to stand in this hall at this moment.

Turning his head back, his eyes fell deeply on the white rat kneeling in front of the altar in a trance.

I don't know what he is thinking.

This sacred temple gradually returned to silence, leaving only the temple guards standing.

The body of the white rat kneeling in front of the altar remained.

………….

The situation was turbulent, and the rat priests lived up to their greed.

An army composed of rat mercenaries, slave rats, war equipment teams, and some rat pilgrims appeared in the lush forest.

And the ones who took over this war were the temple guards and rat pilgrims.

Both sides maintained a certain restraint in the early stages of the war.

Or perhaps it was because both sides were constantly gathering strength.

This was a relatively restrained war.

Although the army was getting bigger and bigger, countless rats were either forced or actively involved in it, and the battlefield was even in front of the Desolate Mountains and in front of the sacred city, but this was indeed a relatively restrained war.

At least both sides are fighting for the dominance of the Skaven Council.

It is not a full-scale war that sweeps from the border to every Skaven city, nor is it a war of division at all costs.

Whether it is the temple guards or these Skaven priests, they are fighting for the dominance of the Skaven Council and the dominance of this twisted country.

Although the size of the armies raised by the two parties is getting bigger and bigger.

After all, this is in the center of the empire.

And what's interesting is that in this battle, both sides are united under the banner of Du Yuan.

One side is to purge heresy for the great god.

The other side is to defend the sacred temple for the great god.

Well, the two sides are indeed going to fight, after all, the rat priests have always been a little bit upset about their authority being occupied by the temple guards.

This war is not just to determine the leader.

It is also a war that the rat priests have started to make up for their orthodox identity as gods.

In common sense, they can't do this with just those rat lords, but it's not just those rat lords who join this war.

The largest group of loyalists, or surrenderists, rat priests joined this war.

These loyalists who had been crawling in front of the white rat from the beginning to the end and maintained the operation of the rat council and the underground rat city decisively joined the rat lord after the death of the white rat.

A more interesting point appeared.

Both sides felt that they were the ones who could inherit the will of the high priest.

Both felt that they were the orthodox.

This idea made the war milder and a little more weird.

It was hard for the pilgrims.

The sacred city they wanted to see was the traces left by the great gods, but in fact, they came on this uneasy road, and faced with the same banner of conscription.

"For the great gods!"

Of course, such a conscription is called a conscription, but it is actually no different from conscription.

Otherwise, how could the armies of both sides expand so rapidly in such a short time.

It even attracted Du Yuan's attention for a time.

After ascending to the throne of God, Du Yuan no longer needed to sleep for a long time, but there were still many things to think about and face.

The world that was as dazzling as the sun in the distance was already within reach.

And the ceremony was not completely over. He needed to consolidate his position. In that bloody battle, Du Yuan was injured too badly. Even with the compensation of the ascension ceremony, it would take some time to heal the tiny cracks on the body of the god.

Of course, this was not a serious matter. He just had to wait.

Until he was disturbed by two equally fanatical, pious armies that shouted the great gods... How to say it, Du Yuan was not going to interfere in this war, even he had to admit it.

This form of conflict was already a very mild form for the rats.

……………….

The civil war that held high the flag of the gods in front of the Desolate Mountains did not affect every part of the Rat Empire.

Even the temple guards were not all withdrawn.

That's right. As long as the leader of the temple guards is not stupid, he will never withdraw all the temple guards guarding the temple of the gods for a war.

Their glory comes from their actions of stationing in the temples of gods.

However, in addition to these stationed soldiers who cannot be mobilized, there is also a group of temple guards who have not joined the war.

These temple guards gathered in a special place.

Gathered in the two dark fortresses, firmly biting the node where the two continents intersect.

Although Sheng Qi's breakthrough in the sea war made this node no longer the only one, its importance is still beyond doubt.

Even though the holy war in front of the Desolate Mountains is about to start, the number of temple guards stationed here has not decreased at all, but more temple guards have come here.

This is an important node.

Originally used to encircle the possible return of the Eastern Expeditionary Force, it is now used to guard against the possible impact of the Dark Eye Human Race.

The temple guards pay no less attention to this increasingly scarlet vast grassland than the rat lords.

If these heretics are allowed to sweep and corrupt this vast bloody grassland in this turmoil, it will be an unparalleled blow.

Although it is not entirely a bad thing, the invasion of the heretics can allow the winners of this dispute to quickly gather all the ratmen and then start a holy war again.

A huge northern expedition will start again, and the increasingly scarlet grassland will not bring any benefits to the ghost-eyed people for a while.

But the price is the destruction of the farm system that has already achieved initial results on the scarlet grassland.

The leader of the temple guards attaches great importance to the rat farms on this grassland.

Of course, if the temple guards have a certain understanding of what is happening in the human empire, then they should not worry about this problem.

In fact, a more terrifying turmoil is also going on in the human empire.

In this turmoil, they can maintain the noble coalition stationed outside the Twin Fortress, which can be regarded as the commander of the noble coalition.

It is particularly peaceful here.

It is so peaceful that the sea monsters wandering here day and night have become more and more agitated driven by hunger.

Is this a good thing?

I guess so.

But the flag stationed here became more and more uneasy at this time.

Since being abandoned by Shu Zhan and retreating here in a panic, the flag seemed to have nothing to do.

He wandered behind the dark fortress all day.

During this period, he did not dare to expand his army.

Compared with the brutality of the rat war, the temple guards' indifference to him made him more uneasy.

In the past, when there were conflicts between the Dark Eyes and the rats in front of the fortress, he could still participate in them.

But now, there is nothing to do.

There are no enemies, no targets, only the strong wind that keeps sweeping over the edge of the empty grassland.

As one of the few remaining rat warlords, if there is no war, then there is really no place for him to use his skills.

In such an overly leisurely environment.

A strange scene appeared.

Qi's training camp, brainwashing class, self-confidence crash course.

All of these.

A group of rats gathered together with ignorance, waiting for Qi to go up to the high platform on time every day, raising their arms high and shouting loudly.

The first round is to offer awe and faith to the gods.

Shouting the greatness of the gods.

The second round is to emphasize the possibilities of each rat.

"Being humble is not a problem. We all have possibilities. God protects us!"

The third round, emphasize your own importance.

"Follow me! Follow me! I will bring you glory, opportunities, and everything. Follow me!"

I have to say that this set is quite useful, although it seems a bit chaotic and has an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, especially after more and more ratmen gathered in front of Qi.

But it is particularly effective, because the object of Qi's description is not anything else, but a group of real humble guys. Not every ratman has the courage to be greedy. Most of the humble guys are particularly cowardly.

They like this set very much.

Especially when Qi is now a real rat warlord.

They need courage very much. Although the most likely result of courage is death, how to say it, even if they keep crawling on the ground in humility, the greater possibility for these humble guys is still death.

In fact, a large part of the ratmen gathered around the flag were defective products whose bodies became disabled for various reasons in the Twin Fortresses.

The great god blessed all the ratmen and eliminated the deterioration of their bloodline, but under the whipping of the big claw priest, the number of defective ratmen has never decreased.

It is not just the defective ratmen, some young ratmen who fled the battlefield in fear, some ratmen freemen who arrived here with the rat caravan, and the ratmen mercenaries passing by.

These are the components of the huge number of ratmen gathered in front of the flag.

After hearing the flag's shouts again and again, they can become braver, desire more, and respect the flag more.

Gathered around the flag, shouting fanatically.

"I want to become greater, I don't want to be so humble!"

Well, the source of such a strong sense of déjà vu has finally been found.

The head of the pyramid scheme?

Well..., it's a very strange situation.
