Chapter 19, Rat Priest
The ratmen coming down from the mountain crashed into the lizardmen camp.
In an instant, the ratmen that came like a tide completely submerged the entire camp.
In the dim night, in the chaos, the two sides began a frantic fight.
The lizardmen warriors with strong scales grabbed the spears and wooden shields beside them in a panic, and collided with the ratmen who were holding various sharp stones as weapons.
From time to time, there would be ratmen holding stones in their tails who suddenly rushed out from the ratmen tide and attacked the few areas on the lizardmen that were not covered with hard scales.
Among the holes of various sizes, the ones at the end of the tail were the most cared for.
The ratmen did not have any proper weapons in their hands, and the stones were easy to break when they hit the hard scales of the lizardmen, but those tail-holding ratmen who specialized in attacking the holes still caused great casualties to the lizardmen.
From time to time, lizardmen fell down with pig-killing howls, and then were rushed by the surrounding ratmen and beaten to death with stones in their hands.
In this attack, the performance of the ratmen was very different from the past. Even though they were constantly killed, there was no phenomenon of fleeing.
The lizardman leader found the reason. Next to a ratman standing on a boulder with a sharp spear in his hand, several ratmen holding wooden sticks were constantly making sharp and weird roars.
In the roar, the rushing ratmen were all red-eyed. The lizardman leader casually beat a tail-holding ratman who wanted to sneak attack him from behind with a stick. The red bloodshot in the eyes of the fallen ratman was clearly visible. Even though he was dying, he was still roaring wildly.
It was like an unintelligent and violent beast.
They were priests. Those ratmen holding wooden sticks were priests. But why were there so many? Even in their powerful forest tribe, there were only a few such priests. The lizardman leader did not understand, but as an experienced leader, he immediately grasped the key point.
In his call, many taller and stronger lizardman warriors rushed out from the crazy rat group. He took the lead and those tall and strong lizardman warriors followed him to charge at the location where the ratman priests gathered not far away.
The spear rat saw the lizardman warrior rushing over.
He was not a qualified believer. His level of faith was just above the bottom line of a standard believer, and it was even very easy to fall to the level of a shallow believer.
So he was not too enthusiastic about the so-called oracle, but he was undoubtedly one of the few smart people and people who could see the situation clearly among the ratmen.
If this group of lizardmen destroyed the altar, he would not have a good life.
Amid sharp shouts, a group of ratmen with spears and wooden shields in their hands and sharp stone flakes wrapped around their tails gathered around.
This was his personal guard, and also the team that the spear rat used to fight the damn white rat. Each of these ratmen had eaten more blood mushrooms than ordinary ratmen and ordinary ratmen warriors.
The nourishment of blood mushrooms made them stronger. Even in the strange spells of the huge group of charlatans under the white rat, the personal guards of the spear rat did not completely lose their minds.
They gathered together in the shouts of the spear rat and faced the lizardman warriors who were charging with the lizardman leader.
And for all this, the ratman priests were unaware, or they didn't care at all.
They were Du Yuan's fanatics. In this chaotic battlefield, they kept releasing the only priest spells they knew, the berserker spell, and gradually became crazy in the process.
"The great gods are watching us!"
"Long live the gods!"
"Kill them!"
The magic card about the inheritance of the rat priests is the most valuable of the three magic cards, because it represents a complete set of inheritance.
I don't know why, but this magic card has some problems, although Du Yuan is not sure whether it is a problem with the magic card or the inheritance of the rat priests.
The rat priests who successfully took office under Du Yuan know very few magic arts. These rat priests do not have the healing arts and eagle eye arts that are necessary for regular priests. They don't know many magic arts that cover all aspects, or they only know one type.
There are only berserk arts, various berserk arts, and the white rat who has gone the furthest among the priests under Du Yuan now has mastered three magic arts.
Rat berserk arts, group berserk arts, and killing aura. The first two are berserk arts, and the third one is also a disguised berserk art.
The target affected by the killing aura will abandon fear and frantically attack everything in front of them in an uncontrollable desire to kill.
And these three can be superimposed on each other.
How to say it, it is not the priests that Du Yuan understands, but for the rat people, it is inexplicably suitable.
This raid was supported by the group frenzy spells superimposed on each other by these three rat priests.
But frenzy spells don't seem to have any effect on rat priests.
But why are they so crazy, racial characteristics, Du Yuan, who was watching the battle from high altitude, thought so.
It can't be said that this is a bad thing. In a short period of time, the piety of these three rat priests has increased rapidly.
Three of them became fanatics in no particular order.
Du Yuan couldn't say anything, so he paid a little attention, but it was just a little attention. The rats were updated too quickly, and even if they became fanatics, it was difficult for Du Yuan to pay attention for a long time.
Among the slave rats, many rats would become Du Yuan's fanatics before they died of exhaustion.
But this did not prevent them from dying and being thrown into the blood lake soon.
However, many slave rats became priests in their fanatical beliefs.
The lives of these rats were particularly short, and their attitudes towards faith were particularly divided. Some were as cunning as the spear rats and were always unwilling to give up their faith, while others were able to sacrifice their lives in fanaticism.
This battle could not be won.
Du Yuan made such a judgment.
There were still not enough rats gathered, and there were still too few rat warriors. There was no way to really swallow this lizardman army, but it was not a big problem. The progress on the other side was very smooth.
In the camp, the guards of the spear rats delayed the attack of the lizardman warriors in a frenzy, but the spear rats did not delay the attack of the lizardman leader.
The spear rats that swallowed a lot of blood mushrooms have become quite powerful. Although the rats are not strong, the spear rats that swallowed a lot of blood mushrooms and have the potential to become heroes are definitely not weak.
However, the spear rats were defeated in the battle with the lizardman leader.
A little blood-red pattern spread on the body of the lizardman leader.
