Chapter 142, the Opening of the Regional World, the Small Friction Between the Rat War and the Rat Priests, Two Choices
His idea was right.
The flesh and blood of gods is not unacceptable to mortals, but it is unacceptable to weak mortals.
Long Claws did not have many opportunities for trial and error.
Whether it was the dragon heart or the flesh and blood of gods, only this last one was left.
Once failed, everything would be in vain.
But Long Claws could not accept this kind of failure.
Staring at the beating dragon heart in the glass column in front of him.
His expression unconsciously became hideous and distorted.
He absolutely could not accept failure.
Absolutely not!
………….
After Rat Zhan left, the construction of Furnace City really began.
Even though the industry of this city was still at a standstill.
But a tall temple was built first.
First there was a huge pit, and then the pillar engraved with the pattern of gods stood in the center of the pit.
Offering sacrifices.
Slaves were beheaded and pushed into the blood lake.
Corpses were piled up in an interlaced manner.
The blood that flowed out was simply not enough to fill this huge pit.
Shu Zhan has already cast his eyes eagerly towards the rough blood lake in front of him.
Anxiously waiting.
Until in the shallow blood lake.
A bright mushroom grows out of the cold corpse.
At this moment, Shu Zhan's face shows an extremely exaggerated smile.
Although the temple built by Shu Zhan is a bit rushed.
But fortunately, at least the pattern on the pillar belonging to Xiaochun is not wrong.
In the swaying of the blood mushroom.
The importance of the outpost is greatly reduced.
This former port of the Desolate Mountains, along with the establishment of the two cities outside the Desolate Mountains.
Gradually desolate.
Once, the war started here and ended here.
Endless slaves will go to the underground rat city through the outpost, and the vast and lush forest is also a hunting ground guarded by the outpost.
But at this time, the Waste Slag City rudely took over the lush forest in the hands of the outpost.
Slaves are no longer sent to the underground rat city.
Even no senior priests come here anymore.
The glory of the outpost faded, and it was returning to its most essential role at the beginning of its construction.
A solid fortress.
Until a tall rat assassin came here.
Until the headquarters of both troops were located here.
A huge transport team was organized, and those harmless big claw priests began to carry a large number of metal weapons to and from the Twin Cities and the Desolate Mountains.
Metal weapons were brought to the two cities.
Slaves and sacrifices were brought back to the Desolate Mountains.
Behind them, some figures hidden in the darkness also followed the transport team, entering and disappearing in every corner where rats appeared.
The other army was even more brutal.
Two thousand-man temple guards swaggered into the two cities and began to announce the takeover of the temples in the two cities.
This brought extremely strong dissatisfaction.
At one point, the two sides even confronted each other outside the city.
Until a group of two thousand temple knights appeared outside the two cities.
The temple guards entered the city and began to station inside and outside the temple.
Everyone knew who meant this.
Shu Zhan even gritted his teeth and cursed the damn old guy for not going to see the gods.
He could only endure it.
However, although the temple guards stationed in the temples of the two cities, they had no intention of controlling the blood mushrooms.
Both Shu Zhan and the rat priests could only hold their noses and endure it.
But it was also because of the entry of the temple guards.
Some changes have occurred.
The priests struggling in the underground rat city suddenly found that they seemed to have an extra way?
They could leave this deep underground and leave this oppressive city.
Escape from the endless disputes.
Go to the slag city, or the furnace city.
The first choice is of course the slag city. This city controlled by the rat priests naturally attracts these rat priests who escape from the underground rat city.
But at the same time, some rat priests chose to go to the furnace city controlled by Shu Zhan.
This trend first started with those restless young priests, and then those ordinary priests who had been hanging around for a long time but had no hope of becoming senior priests.
It eventually spread to those senior priests who were excluded from power.
They brought a lot of things.
Breeding houses, planting rooms, excavation teams, sculptors.
Even the one who arrived with a large group of slave rats.
The development of the two cities was accelerated and began to run wild.
It took only a very short time for the rats to go from hiding in the barren mountains to spreading their footprints all over the regional world.
It brought a side effect.
All the rat priests came to the two cities for merit and for blood mushrooms.
But the production of blood mushrooms requires sacrifices.
The rat army set out again, and the regional world that had been roughly plowed was baptized by the rat army again.
One after another, outposts stood up.
This time, there was no long-term consideration and restraint.
The cost of the development of the two rat cities was borne by all the intelligent creatures in this regional world.
All living creatures were quickly thrown into the shallow blood lake, transformed into blood mushrooms, and in the scorching flames, became nutrients for the development of the city.
Such an act of exhausting all resources has brought about a serious consequence.
The flame that had just been ignited, the fire of desire that had not yet had time to burn, suddenly lost its fuel.
How could the intelligent races that had been swept away and had not had time to recuperate withstand such a torment?
Even the goblins began to disappear in the range of the ratmen's activities.
The gradually disappearing intelligent races gave the two thriving parties a blow.
But there was no way.
After exhausting all resources, this area of the world could no longer provide more supplies.
Everything needed blood mushrooms, everything needed sacrifices.
But there were not many qualified sacrifices in this area of the world.
There were only some useless guys living in corners and harsh environments.
For example, several races in the swamp.
Even if the Rat War launched another great expedition to the wetlands, consuming great efforts to capture people all over the mountains in that huge wetland.
It is estimated that not many sacrifices could be caught.
After it broke away from the urban structure and returned to the scattered tribal structure, chasing these guys running around in this harsh swamp has become a thankless task.
Similar to this situation are the pigmen who fled into the layered hills and some fishmen who appeared in rivers and lakes.
But even if it is thankless, some priests have already started to set off with their teams.
There is really nothing to catch.
But these are all done by those low-level priests.
Those real big guys obviously won’t mobilize troops for these petty gains, not because they are afraid of losing face.
But some better targets are right in front of them.
Friction and confrontation appeared between Rat War and those senior rat priests.
The resources of this regional world are only enough for a group of rats to use unscrupulously.
In terms of power comparison, the rat priests joined forces with Rope Seven, two expeditionary forces plus a larger group of priests, and the Waste Slag City seemed to have an absolute advantage.
But in fact, in the confrontation between the armies, it was Rat War that prevailed.
In the lush forest.
The first melee between the two sides was no small scene.
The rat priests sent 30,000 rat troops, and Shu Zhan brought 10,000 rat warriors.
The two sides fought for a night, and in the end, Shu Zhan's 10,000 rat warriors narrowly won, and captured 10,000 rat troops to take back for blood sacrifice.
This made the rat priests a little embarrassed.
More troops began to be mobilized.
Even those senior priests decided to join the battle.
And Shu Zhan was even more extreme. He directly summoned all the troops and decided to launch a surprise attack on the Waste Slag City.
The war was stopped by the white rat.
But it was obvious that both sides did not decide to give up so easily.
The two cities immediately switched to war mode.
Amidst the tension, a big melee was about to begin.
But simply.
The light curtain in the sky began to dim.
The world barrier was about to be released.
………….
Du Yuan finally waited for the support he wanted, the information about the gods of other regions.
After ascending to the demigod level, the self in the academy still exists, but to some extent, it is already a special incarnation.
Du Yuan thinks that the ending words recorded in the biography of an unknown god in the library are very good.
The process of becoming a god is a process of distance.
Du Yuan has already left the Yuanwang City at this time. If he takes another step forward, if he has nothing to worry about, then everything in Yuanwang City has nothing to do with him.
Of course, this does not mean that Du Yuan can act recklessly.
At least not at the moment.
Although Du Yuan has always wanted to know, if the old Zhang's affair was pointed out directly in front of his old lover's son.
Then can the serious guy as an executive hold it.
But don't commit suicide.
If the divine body is killed after the defeat, the only one who can exist for Du Yuan is himself squatting in the academy now.
It's better not to narrow the road.
Spread out the map he just got.
In the lower left corner of the map, Du Yuan found his position.
The small world he was dropped into was not too vast. There was a main continent and a subcontinent connected to the main continent by a narrow island chain.
There were scattered islands and the endless ocean.
Du Yuan initially landed on that subcontinent.
And it was at the bottom of the subcontinent.
This subcontinent was not big.
There were not many opponents worth paying attention to.
To the west of the Desolate Mountains, above the lush forest, in the large hills, in addition to the remnants of the wild boars, there was also a group of half-elves who had established a kingdom. The guy they believed in had already entered the demigod stage.
He was the god of hills and archers.
And to the east of the Desolate Mountains, behind the vast wetland, across a towering steep mountain range.
What came into view was a vast grassland.
There was also a demigod here.
At the same time, Du Yuan judged that the followers of this demigod would also be the most powerful enemy of the rats on this subcontinent.
Because the vast area of this subcontinent is occupied by a vast grassland that spreads from the main continent but is blocked by the towering mountains.
This grassland is extremely vast.
The lush forest currently occupied by the ratmen, plus the hills bordering the half-elves, together, are only one-third the size of this vast grassland.
At the same time, this grassland has also landed many gods, big and small.
But only one has become a demigod, and only one has built a simple pantheon.
The grassland kingdom.
Two apprentice gods anchored to the sheep orcs as auxiliary gods.
A demigod anchored to the wolf orcs as the main god.
The name of the demigod was marked.
The god of grassland and hunting.
He is a rising star.
Looking at the map unfolded in front of him.
This position is not bad. Born in the subcontinent, he was away from the chaos of the main continent at the first time.
The main continent should be the most chaotic place in the world in the near future.
Just a glance, Du Yuan saw densely packed symbols on the main continent, each of which represents the existence of a god.
At least a hundred gods are fighting on that vast continent.
Although there are only a dozen guys who are worthy of attention and have reached the level of demigod.
But you have to know that if the power doubles, the intensity of the fight will be far more than just doubled.
If Du Yuan can wipe out those two guys and occupy this relatively independent subcontinent, it will bring him a great advantage.
But the premise is to be fast.
If he delays too long and waits until the final winner is decided on the chaotic main battlefield, and he has not finished the battle on his side.
There is no doubt that he will become a barbarian.
This is not good.
Just like this, a choice appeared in front of Du Yuan.
Which opponent should he deal with first?
Is to destroy the half-elf kingdom entrenched in the hills, and after completely stabilizing the rear, fight a decisive battle with the wolf orcs on the grassland.
Or take advantage of the fact that the regional world has just been released, and surprise attack the wolf orcs to prevent them from sweeping the grassland and expanding.
Both options have their own advantages.
If the wolf orcs were attacked by surprise, they could be prevented from becoming stronger. After all, the wolf orcs who were born to run on the vast grasslands are undoubtedly the guys with the greatest advantage in the environment. If they are allowed to grow stronger, they will be difficult to deal with.
But it is inevitable that they will be attacked by the half-elf kingdom.
It is safest to deal with the half-elf kingdom first, relying on the towering mountains and the harsh swamp as a barrier.
Before the wolf orcs completely unified the grassland, they would not focus their attention on this marginal corner.
Du Yuan only needs to destroy the half-elf kingdom to completely pacify the rear.
The two options have their own advantages.
They also have their own disadvantages.
One is to take risks, but the benefits are the greatest.
The other is the safest, but at the same time, the challenges to be faced are also the greatest.
It is difficult to choose.
Du Yuan instinctively began to think about the pros and cons.
However, he overlooked something very important.
The ratmen under his command were obviously not that honest.
