Chapter 396, Ratman Empire, weapons falling from the sky

Those rat ghouls that roamed everywhere eventually aroused the dissatisfaction of the bigwigs in the rat empire.

A purge is about to begin.

Such a situation was created by the indulgence of the rat warlords.

After all, if it is too peaceful and nothing happens, then what is the meaning of their existence?

Even if it is just to increase the supplies delivered to them every month, then such indulgence is undoubtedly necessary.

The speed of these rat warlords' degeneration is faster than most people think.

The plummeting price of slave rats has a large part of their reasons in the dark. In the peaceful years, these guys are not ambiguous at all when it comes to human trafficking.

Even if they are selling the rat warriors in their hands.

And it's not just that. These guys have never lacked all kinds of things.

Selling soldiers, reselling weapons, looting small rat development stations in the name of suppressing rat ghouls, and mining minerals privately.

Doing these bad things without scruples.

And they have been doing this for many years.

This may be closely related to the current status of these rat warlords.

These guys who command the army and serve as weapons, in peacetime, many guys hope that they will be more useless.

Before a new all-out war, these guys' status will never be able to move up even a little bit, and even if a full-scale war occurs, as long as the rats are not in a weak position, their status will never be able to move up even a little bit.

Such a situation, coupled with the temptation of some intentional guys, then it is not surprising that they are decadent and indulgent.

It has only been a few years, although the rats have never been known for their combat effectiveness, but at this time, the combat effectiveness of these rat warlords must be really questioned.

However, no matter how decadent they are, it is enough to suppress the rat ghouls and the slave rats who have caused riots.

The rebellions of all sizes have been deliberately indulged, which has lasted for many years and will continue until the next war starts and the sea ebbs, then these naked swimming guys will be completely exposed.

But now, the situation seems to have changed.

A high-ranking ratman figure seems to have made some kind of decision.

An extremely irritable guy and his army were mobilized.

The temple guards had cooperated with the ratman lords a long time ago, but the cooperation was different from that chosen by the ratman priests in the waste city.

Their fusion with the ratman lords was more thorough.

Not acceptance and integration, but complete subjugation.

The temple guards accepted the ratman lords who were seriously injured in the turmoil, and recognized their status and existence, and replaced them with the temple guards' worship.

The great gods became the premise for the ratman lords to rule the ratman cities.

Support more ratmen who believe in the great gods, support the temples in the city, and at the same time support the stability of the city and the destination of the land.

The leader of the temple guards, that strange guy, began to practice his words.

He wanted to draft a code, an imperial code that belonged to the ratmen themselves.

Judging from the various actions of the temple guards, he seemed to have wanted to do this a long time ago.

But he never dared to take the first step, or rather, he never really took the first step.

The resistance did not come from anywhere else, but from the temple guards themselves.

Now, even the group of rat priests did not use the unavoidable problem of the temple priests to ridicule these guys.

But they themselves remembered it clearly and were terrified.

This group of pious guys had never received the true revelation of the gods, and even the grace of the gods was purchased in the war when Sheng Qi destroyed the half-elf kingdom.

This group of pious guys dared to collect all their interpretations and doctrines of the gods, and carefully collected and knelt together.

They did not dare to describe the great gods too much.

This situation is truly in line with their own positioning.

Loyal guardians.

It is hard to imagine that they now have at least half of the right to interpret the faith in the Ratman Empire, but they know that now, every year, a large number of temple guards will carefully go to the Gear Church to listen to the noisy big claw priests shouting the great gear spirit crazily.

They dare not break through and describe the image of the gods.

Then naturally, the great, sacred, supreme god, he will not have more specific duties and titles, and more so-called kingdom protectors, so.

Of course, if he insists on adding, Du Yuan will not respond to such changes. He has long been out of the ratman's own choice.

But the temple guards dare not.

But if the supreme god is not used as a witness and guarantee, this matter cannot be determined at all.

The leader of the temple guards wants to really put this twisted empire together. This is the first step he will take after preparing for a long time, but this first step is so difficult.

In the temple in front of the grassland city.

A guy sat down in the hidden space in the corner.

Even though the increasingly expanding and spectacular Furnace City gradually became the center of this scarlet grassland and the main continent, it was also the absolute center of the temple guards besides the underground rat city.

But he was still more accustomed to standing in the temple in front of the grassland city.

His fingers tapped the stone table, making a rhythmic and crisp sound.

He had already drafted most of the imperial code.

At this time, it was placed in front of him.

This guy was different from the white rat. He was not as pious as the white rat, but his extreme was just the same.

It was hard to imagine how his idea of ​​unifying and integrating all rat people came about.

But he was so persistent.

This was a very difficult thing, very difficult. Rat people who succumbed to desires were naturally more inclined to chaos.

Wanting them to succumb to a set of overall order.

This was difficult.

And think about it carefully, is it really necessary? As long as a loose framework is maintained and wars are launched one after another.

Then the rat people will naturally be able to gather together.

Why do we have to bring them together?

It's really a thankless task.

………….

After the rat lords were subdued, most of their power was naturally taken away.

In the final analysis, the most fundamental principle among rats is power and interests.

The rat lords who were devastated by the turmoil had no power to compete with the temple guards who were in the same area with them, so they could only choose to surrender.

As long as they chose to surrender, it would be normal to lose anything.

Of course, the rat lords still had another choice. In the past, that was to join the colleagues in the Waste City. After all, no matter what, although the rat priests themselves acknowledged the separation, in the final analysis, the relationship between rats and rat priests was still deeper.

This is what the rat lords thought at first.

Until the greedy guys in the Waste City began to add insult to injury without hesitation.

I don't know how many minerals, workshops, and blood mushrooms went into the pockets of these rat priests during that period.

One-third of the resources used to build the Waste City over the years came from the plunder of the rat lords.

It is conceivable how much the rat lords hate those damn colleagues now.

That is why it is understandable why the rat lords would rather choose to get closer to the temple guards despite the harsh treaty of the temple guards.

It was in such a turmoil that Heimao changed his employer.

In one leap, he jumped from the rat warlord under the command of the rat lord to the hands of the temple guards.

And not only that, in these years, compared with the other rat warlords who were corrupt and silent, he was quite eye-catching.

Not only did he run wildly when the fishmen invaded, but he also made a great reputation by fighting with the rat pirates on the west coast of the main continent.

Active in the front line of the competition between Waste City and Furnace City.

The temple guards and the rat priests of the Waste City had almost no disputes in public, but they fought fiercely in secret.

Relying on the incorporation of most of the rat warlords, the temple guards took over almost all the land of the main continent.

Then the rat priests pulled up a group of rat pirates to abuse on the west coast, and rushed into the inland to plunder from time to time.

The temple guards wanted to rely on the vast land and various minerals in their hands to suppress the Waste City.

Then the rats did not hesitate to stab the rat lords in the back, and plundered most of the ownership of the mines and workshops in the hands of these guys to maintain the operation of the waterway.

In the fight between the two sides, various means emerged one after another, so naturally, the most obvious action was also one of these means.

But this was not carried out openly.

It was under such circumstances that Heimao fought fiercely with the rat pirates on the west coast of the main continent every day.

Compared with other rat warlords, he has many outstanding features and advantages.

His Storm Army is not so bloated, flexible enough, and at the same time, capable enough.

So naturally, he has been doing well in these years.

Such days were supposed to continue until a transfer order appeared.

He returned to the Scarlet Grassland with his Storm Army.

To be honest, Black Hair did not have a good impression of this place.

During that peaceful period, he was also abandoned here, entrenched in an abandoned rat outpost to waste meaninglessly.

If the big man had not promised him a war, a grand war, he would never come back.

………….

The cleanup of the Scarlet Grassland began.

This is not a simple cleanup.

All the rat warlords and the black-haired people transferred back from the main continent were mobilized. All the abandoned underground tunnels on this grassland were to be cleaned up carefully. At the same time, the big claw priests led the teams of slave rats to appear in the teams of the rat warlords.

The real big man of the temple guards spoke.

This time, the cleanup finally stopped the lip service and fraud.

A large number of rat ghouls, roaming rat nomads, rioting slave rats who were unwilling to return to the empire, defected rat freemen, rat mercenaries who became robbers in this complex tunnel network, and wild rats who still lingered in the ruins after the city was destroyed.

There were also spies sent by the rat priests and some guys with bad intentions.

Everything was being quickly flattened.

All resistance was being crushed.

The situation suddenly became tense.

In such a huge move by the temple guards, many guys felt uneasy.

Until the temple guards announced their grand plan.

They were going to open up this grassland again and build new rat cities.

All the guys who knew about it were a little confused.

What is this?

Obviously, while all the other guys in the Rat Empire were focusing their energy on sending firecrackers to the sky, the temple guards quietly announced a large-scale construction plan.

What is this?

No one can figure out what the temple guards are tinkering with.

There is only one thing to be sure of, since the temple guards have decided to do something, either destroy it or follow it.

It didn't take too long to think.

The rat priests of the Waste City chose the latter and launched a reconstruction plan soon after.

There is no way, even if they want to destroy it, how can they destroy it.

Is it possible to send a large regular army to break into the scarlet grassland to stop the temple guards from cleaning up the scarlet grassland?

Is this realistic?

Obviously, this is not realistic.

So naturally, the second option can only be chosen.

Of course, the rat priests did some other means, such as poaching the big claw priests and raising the selling price of various resources.

But they were all taken by the temple guards one by one.

Before long, many rat priests in the Waste City made a lot of money.

As the blood mushrooms earned more and more, their positions also changed accordingly, and soon there was more chaos in the Waste City.

It was too easy to make some of these profit-seeking guys turn against their side.

Of course, the problems these rat priests had to face were not just the temple guards who suddenly took action.

Some unusual changes appeared in a group of rioting slave rats roaming in the rolling hills.

A group of rat mercenaries hired to clear out the rebellious slave rats was defeated and fled back to the Waste City in a panic, and began to angrily accuse these rat priests.

In the mouth of the rat mercenary who fled back, this was not a rioting slave rat, but a fully armed magic army.

But such words were regarded as nonsense born for their own face.

What a joke! They control all the trade details in this entire area. How could they not know when a batch of magic weapons flowed into their territory and fell into the hands of a group of slave rats?

Where did they come from?

How could magic weapons fall from the sky?
