Chapter 48, Spear of Divine Punishment
A huge crowd of ratmen poured into this small camp.
Rat Zhan did not lead the rat army in pursuit, and this time the battle was won.
The subsequent finishing work began while the priest was busy.
The hunched-backed rat-man priest and a group of young rat-men who were moaning and groaning were fishing for lizard-man corpses in the wetland. However, some corpses trapped in the mud swamp were particularly difficult to find. fish out.
These young ratmen were extremely clumsy. Many priests were so angry that they screamed, and some impatient priests even jumped into the swamp to fish them out.
Of course, the result of this is not necessarily good. After a while, some rat priests struggling and flopping in the mud appeared.
While stumbling, numerous corpses were piled into the center of the camp.
The rat priests built a simple camp in the center of the newly defeated lizardman camp.
The mud on the corpses of the lizardmen was carefully cleaned, the heads were removed, and they were piled on the altar.
It had a particularly brutal and bloody smell, but the rat priest who handled this scene didn't think it was wrong. Even the rat warriors gathered around the altar one after another.
If there is ever a time when these noisy rats can really calm down for a while, then perhaps it is the time to offer sacrifices to the gods.
In front of the barbaric altar, Rat Zhan stood with the priests. The other rat warlords could only be weaker than them, even the commander-in-chief had a good look.
After completing preparations, the rat priest waved the wooden staff in his hand high and shouted excitedly.
Praise the gods, sing praises to the gods, the great gods.
Such simple words were shouted out excitedly and repeated over and over again, like children learning to talk, but their expressions, tone and movements were so pious, serious and excited.
After a while, the piety of the priests spread to the most ignorant young ratmen, then to the ratmen warriors, then to the senior ratmen warriors, warlords, and then to all the ratmen present.
All the rat people shouted loudly at that moment, sang the praises of the greatness of the gods, and praised the great gods.
Fanatical and exciting, like a grand carnival.
This is a qualified sacrifice, accompanied by the rising power of faith.
The power of faith that leads to God with pious calling and recitation.
The sacrifice ended, the rat people gradually stopped shouting, and the priests were ready to put away the lizard man heads placed on the simple altar.
At this moment, a dazzling golden light cast down.
He threw himself at the rat war on the altar.
Under the unbelievable eyes of the surrounding rat priests, the gods gave a gift to the rat war!
………….
Not long after, the lizard man's head was sent back to the depths of the mountains along with the news that Rat Zhan had been gifted by the gods.
The white rat who received the news did not show any other expressions, but in the dark secret room, there were some unprovoked teeth grinding sounds.
In the Lizardman Wetland.
Zhu Zhan looked at an ordinary wooden spear in his hand and fell into deep thought. Beside him, a rat priest was staring directly at the wooden stick in Shu Zhan's hand.
The desire and greed in his eyes were clearly visible, because this ordinary wooden spear was a gift from the gods to Rat Zhan, a real artifact. That is a gift from the gods, a gift from the gods, a true artifact!
This rat priest is going crazy with jealousy. Why is it not him who gets this gift? Why is it not him who gets this gift!
The more he looked at the wooden spear, the stronger the jealousy in the eyes of the rat priest.
It’s just that he was cowardly and didn’t dare to resent the god who gave the gift, not at all, and he didn’t dare to resent Shu Zhan who got this artifact.
In the midst of endless jealousy, he felt even more awe and obedience towards Rat Zhan.
A cowardly mouse.
Of course, the wooden spear given by Du Yuan is not a good thing. It can even be said that it was made on the spot. According to Du Yuan's standards, it is not an artifact at all. It was just a wooden spear that Du Yuan took from the battlefield that gave it some divine power.
But it is considered an artifact to the rat people, because this wooden spear is the first physical object given by Du Yuan.
At the same time, there is also a message attached by Du Yuan. It is not a complicated message, a simple number, three.
This means that as long as the rat man holds this wooden spear in his hand and asks Du Yuan, Du Yuan can launch three attacks, or in other words, divine punishment.
This is Du Yuan's reward for promoting military reform in the Rat War, and it is also Du Yuan's help for the Rat People's subsequent war with the Lizard People.
At the same time, it is also the source of Rat Zhan’s current troubles.
Looking at the wooden spear in front of him, Shu Zhan thought for a long time. In the end, reason defeated the greed in his heart.
He stood up, took the wooden spear in his hand, and walked to the rat priest not far away.
But in the end, the struggle came up again, and the words to be spoken became.
“Please tell the respected High Priest White Rat that I only hold this Spear of Divine Punishment temporarily. After I complete the crusade against the Lizardmen, I will personally enshrine the Spear of Divine Punishment in the temple. !”
The original idea of sending this artifact back immediately changed due to inner struggle.
This will definitely cause some trouble for him. You need to know that he was sent to this position because of the white rat's suspicion of good eyes.
Just holding the spear in his hand, Shu Zhan was unwilling to let go no matter what, in the dazzling golden light and the great honor.
In Rat Zhan's words, the rat priest who unknowingly showed a hint of awe quickly went to call someone to summon the news.
Looking at the rat priest who left in a hurry, especially looking at the trace of awe he showed unconsciously, Rat Zhan couldn't help but hold the spear in his hand, this divine punishment given by the gods. spear.
Perhaps this mouse also had some different thoughts in his mind.
The subsequent war continued, but in that sacrifice, especially after the gods gave the artifact, Rat Zhan's position among the rat warlords suddenly became extremely stable.
Of course, there will be subsequent changes. As the god of this group of rats, Du Yuan certainly knows what kind of people his family members are.
But Du Yuan still did this because Du Yuan wanted to promote his own ideas and transform slave rats from theocratic slavery into theocratic military slavery.
And how to push it, it will naturally be a reward. As long as Du Yuan is willing to reward the rat people who caused the transformation, plus a little patience, then as time goes by.
It is natural that the Rat Man will become what Du Yuan wants to see.
As for the little problem at the beginning, it may cause a small conflict between the white rat and the rat war.
Du Yuan will not push it deliberately, but if the rat warlords can break away from the control of the rat priests and change from dependence to parallelism, then Du Yuan is happy to see this.
Now all the resources in the rat people are basically controlled by the priests, but the priests alone will not have combat effectiveness. Du Yuan needs a more powerful army.
