Chapter 198, The Situation of the Rat Kingdom

Sheng Qi did not make a decision immediately.

In response, the leader of the temple guards did not say anything and left with the temple guards.

But this matter would not be resolved so quickly, and Sheng Qi did not notice the greed in the leader's eyes.

The leader of the temple guards was far from being as calm as he appeared. He was more generous than those senior rat priests, at least he was not stingy with the bait on the hook.

But it was not without a plan.

This open-air temple that was arranged was left by the temple guards. A standard temple should have this open-air temple. The altar, the pillars, and even the offerings piled on the altar were not taken away.

It was just missing a blood pool, but it was obvious that digging a blood pool was the simplest thing in the whole process of building a temple.

In other words, what can be done in a regular temple can also be done in this open-air temple.

Sheng Qi's eyes lit up, this was indeed what he needed.

Soon after, a temple of a great god was put into use on the top of the sacred oak tree in the middle of the rolling hills, and swaying blood mushrooms began to emerge on the corpses floating on the bright red pool.

This is a temple ignored by the temple guards. As the guardians of the temple, the temple guards are also the most important force for the Rat Council to guard and control each god's temple.

Every temple of a great god is placed in the open by the temple guards.

But today, an accident occurred. This temple on the sacred oak tree seemed to be deliberately ignored by the temple guards, as if it was forgotten.

Although their original job of guarding the temple was not put down, some unknown guys appeared in the temple on the top of the sacred oak tree one after another.

They are powerful, well-equipped, serious, and firmly guard this forgotten temple.

………….

On the vast grassland, the war of the rat war went smoothly.

Rat War began to sweep the vast grassland recklessly, but the harvest was not as rich as expected.

Perhaps it was because the huge army was too conspicuous, or perhaps the wolf-beast army that advanced into the depths of the grassland before the rats had brought unrest and vigilance to the vast grassland.

Races and tribes began to migrate under the threat of rats, and large tracts of land were easily occupied by rats, and various resources were also taken by rats.

Rat cities rose from the ground, dividing the vast grassland into large and small blocks.

A special tunnel from the Desolate Mountains to the Prairie City broke the stagnation that was gradually born in the Rat Kingdom due to the expansion of territory.

This tunnel was born under the gaze of the white rat.

There are advantages and disadvantages, and it has brought many changes.

Rat War's independence was also greatly weakened because of his transgression.

The ratman lord of the Furnace City has officially completed his official appointment. With the arrival of a large number of big claw priests from the Desolate Mountains, the entire city was completely divided into two halves, and a proper industrial zone was established.

The war priests supported by Rat War have gradually become marginalized in the Furnace City.

The city has essentially been incorporated into the hands of the Ratman Council, or in other words, into the hands of the White Rat.

At the same time, the Grassland City was also taken over by the newly deployed ratman priest from the Desolate Mountains.

The Grassland City has changed hands.

The guy deployed by the White Rat to control this key pass is just a ratman priest.

Such an action is a blatant contempt.

For both the ratman lords who entered this grassland and Rat War.

For such contempt, Rat War swallowed this breath, not only that, but also transferred the huge ratman army stationed outside the Grassland City.

The White Rat has become tougher after a long silence.

Rat War's independence was almost instantly knocked down by the white rat.

As compensation.

The food consumed by the Eastern Expeditionary Force and most of the basic resources were handed over to the Rat Council.

Food, basic weapons, soldiers, these were all taken over by the Rat Council.

However, there are still some changes from the past.

The huge loss caused by the long distance makes the key to logistics still fall on the cities that have sprung up on the grasslands.

It seems to be no different from before.

But the dominant power has completely come to the hands of the Rat Council. A good idea will be learned a lot, such as taxation.

The Rat Council has taxed the rat lords who have taken office. These guys have no choice than Rat War. After taking over the position of the lord, they can only succumb to the deployment of the Rat Council.

Rat War just saved a lot of blood mushrooms for nothing.

He had to spend a lot of blood mushrooms to buy a large amount of food from these rat lords to purchase a large number of basic weapons and replenish soldiers.

Now these things have become a regular allocation from the Rat Council.

The trade between the Rat Lords and the Rat Wars has not been banned, and the Rat Council has not restricted them from reselling spoils.

It's just that there is an extra link in the process of supplying materials to the Western Expeditionary Force, which is the allocation of the Rat Council.

This seems to be no big change, forcing the huge Eastern Expeditionary Force to return to the jurisdiction of the Rat Council again.

More senior priests came to this vast grassland.

These guys were all losers in the cruel struggle. The senior rat priest who was appointed to work in the Waste City died.

Died in the Waste City.

His death brought a brief easing of the struggle between these senior rat priests, and it seemed that the struggle was about to subside.

But what came was another cold appointment from the Rat Council.

A senior rat priest was appointed again, in silence, hesitation, and finally stepped into the Waste City again in greed.

Of course there will be losers in the struggle. Some senior rat priests who have been eliminated chose to stay away in order to protect themselves.

Most of them came to this vast grassland, bringing a more chaotic situation. The senior rat priests who came here were not a solid block.

A commotion.

Even though these two gangs once belonged to an alliance, the basis for their cooperation had long been shattered in the struggle, and only the lingering grievances and hatreds were left.

On this vast grassland, just after they had gained a foothold, the two sides started fighting again. For the time being, the guys who arrived first had the upper hand.

But they still couldn't suppress the other side.

With the arrival of more and more senior rat priests, the situation was becoming more and more chaotic.

This group of senior rat priests who had a foothold on the vast grassland started a drama of betrayal, alliance, conspiracy, and calculation.

From time to time, they would fight each other with real swords and guns on this vast grassland.

They didn't have their own army, and the restrictions on them by the rat war were maintained by the rat parliament, but there were loopholes.

A large number of rat mercenaries emerged like mushrooms after rain, and you couldn't tell which of them were real mercenaries or the white gloves of these rat lords.

Fighting, war, and hatred accumulated until the cracks could no longer heal. This group of senior rat priests got really angry and lost the qualification to resist the rat parliament.

Since then, the white rat has completed the split of the senior rat priest alliance.

The struggle of the senior rat priests is about to end.

This vast grassland is more prosperous. In the chaotic struggle, more things are invested in this vast grassland by these senior rat priests.

A new pattern is born.

In order to overwhelm their enemies, these senior rat priests do whatever it takes.

But all this is carried out under the supervision of the temple guards. The contract signed by the three parties in the grassland city was extended by the temple guards to every senior rat priest who arrived on this vast grassland.

At the same time, they are also the only group that can mediate the fight between these senior rat priests.

On this vast grassland.

Even if the alliance breaks down, these senior rat priests are not in the dust.

There are few guys who are qualified to mediate them.

The Rat Council will not care about such small fights. Rat War has the power to manage, but he wishes that all these senior rat priests will be killed on this grassland. It is impossible for him to take the initiative to mediate the conflict.

Then there is only one group that can manage their affairs.

The temple guards are becoming more and more important in this vast grassland.

At the same time, in the mediation, the temple guards began to explore some new things.

In the temple located on the red barren land outside the grassland city, in the inconspicuous stone chamber in the corner of the temple.

There are many stone slabs with carved patterns in front of a white guy.

After a long journey, even with the faster and more convenient special tunnel, the temple guard leader still feels tired.

But there are many things to think about and can't rest yet.

On the stone table in front of him, several stone slabs are displayed, and the patterns on them are vivid and not difficult to identify.

Rat Zhan holding a spear and carrying a flag, the big claw figure hidden in the deep darkness, the somewhat cramped Sheng Qi sitting on the high platform, a mess of rat priests stacked together, the temple guards holding shields, the rat assassins in the shadows, and the most critical figure placed at the highest position and watching everything indifferently, the white rat.

His sight fell on the messy overlapping rat priests, and he reached out and turned them over.

Cover the stone slab representing the rat priests.

The separated rat priests were no longer threatening. Even if they gathered together, they were still the most powerful force in the rat kingdom besides the white rats.

But they would probably never be able to gather together.

Next was Sheng Qi.

His sight fell on the rat man pattern sitting on the high platform with a bit of crampedness.

Sheng Qi was not threatening, but could be used as a key chess piece because of his current position.

The rolling hills were much closer to the barren mountains than this vast grassland, which was an advantage.

While thinking, he wanted to pull Sheng Qi over to him, but he stopped halfway.

Sheng Qi had not made a decision yet, and he might not really fall to him.

There are still many troubles. My sight paused on the rebellious guy holding a spear and carrying a flag, on the long claws hiding in the deep darkness, and on the rat assassin in the shadow.

After thinking for a while, I put the rat assassin down one row, side by side with Rope Seven, and put the temple guards in the second row, side by side with Rat War and Long Claws.

At this time, the pattern in the rat kingdom was formed.

Even after being suppressed, Rat War still ranked in the second echelon of the rat kingdom, there is no doubt about this.

The rat priests who were originally on par with him were kicked out, and the temple guards rose in their place.

As for the long claws, the temple guards have been paying attention to his movements. He is not as simple as he looks. At least after going to the rolling hills and witnessing the existence of the skinning giant rat, this was confirmed and he was ranked in the second echelon.

As for the lower ones, whether it is Sheng Qi or the rat assassin, the former is not strong enough, and the latter is just a tool, neither of them is so important, but they need to be paid attention to.
