Chapter 42, The Great Purge

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him.

Until a beam of silver-white light penetrated the cave buried deep in the mountains.

A big hole was punched in the overflowing blood lake, rising high, and the newly built pyramid altar was almost instantly broken by one third.

The efforts of Bai Shu during this period were almost instantly destroyed.

Even Bai Shu himself was soaked by the blood lake water like a drowned chicken.

But Bai Shu didn't care about this, staring blankly at the figure in front of him, watching the figure that appeared with a ray of sunlight that broke into the depths of the mountains as the cave was broken.

It was a figure that seemed like a mountain.

With just one glance, Bai Shu confirmed his identity, his own god, and the god appeared in front of them, even if it was just a phantom.

This scene was what he thought about day and night, and imagined countless times. He could see the god and sing praises to his greatness in front of the god, but today's scene was different from his countless fantasies.

There was no relief, no appreciation, no joy in the eyes of the god, only indifference, and a trace of disappointment.

How dazzling this disappointment was.

I had disappointed the god, I had disappointed the god, the silent regret echoed in my heart, as if it had turned into a poisonous insect gnawing at my soul.

My body couldn't help but tremble.

All the ratmen present were in a daze. Such a scene made them confused about the situation, but the appearance of the god's phantom shocked them.

For a moment, they were completely stopped, and they didn't even dare to move.

Fortunately, this scene came and went quickly, and the phantom of the god disappeared in just a short moment.

Only a chaotic mess was left.

In the silence.

The white rat was the first to stand up, just as he was decisive when he was a young ratman and was the first to make the decision to convert to the god and take the gods away.

Climbing high up on the altar, like a hunched rat, it stepped on a pile of sacrifices with its head cut off, looking down at the group of rats in front of it, with sharp eyes full of madness and viciousness.

"God has come! Give blessings, this is the most glorious moment for us rats!"

"Congratulations to God! Congratulations to God!"

"Congratulations to the rats! Congratulations to the rats!"

Under that cold gaze, all the rat warlords and priests present bowed their heads. At the same time, such news swept all the rats in the mountains and forests like the wind.

All the rats in the mines.

All the rats knew the result of this sacrifice.

God gave blessings, and God looked at the rats.

"Congratulations to God! Congratulations to the rats!"

In the cheering and jubilation, even the slave rats were proud of this, and there was a jubilant situation, but in such a celebration, there was a bit of haze.

All the rat warlords and all the rat priests who participated in the temple sacrifice, as witnesses of this glory, were somewhat unnatural, fearful, and complicated, especially some fanatical priests.

Soon, these fanatical priests appeared in the black abyss.

That night, everything that had happened recently, what happened in the forest, the actions of the priests and warlords, everything was known to the white rat.

The white rat may know why the gods were angry.

He was motionless in the dark cave. He was obviously a white rat, but he was hidden in the darkness without any trace.

The rat people failed the expectations of the gods. The gods did not need a weak and complacent rat people, and the rat people did not need those greedy priests who were under the banner of the gods.

Even he himself had unknowingly become one of these greedy priests.

Today, he had twisted the will of the gods. He was already a sinner, not even a devout believer, but the white rat did not hesitate at all.

The gods were disappointed with him.

Because of what happened recently.

But the gods did not completely give up on the rat people.

This gave him a little hope, just like catching a possible drowning rat.

He could not lose control of the rat people. If the great gods did not give up on the rat people, then the one who led the rat people back to the gods' sight and might be praised by the gods must be him.

If he was found guilty by other rat priests.

The position of the greatest commander of the white rat would no longer be stable. He could not lose this position. He had already disappointed the gods, and now he lost this position of the great commander.

Then could he still get the attention of the gods?

No, the white rat could not accept it. The white rat could not accept this.

The greedy and selfish rat people would certainly not put the glory of the group above themselves, but the keen white rat could clearly perceive it.

The gods never look at an individual, but at the entire group of ratmen.

The white rat cannot leave the gods, so the white rat cannot leave the rat people.

The rat people want to atone for their sins, and the white rat wants to atone for their sins with the rat people.

Only the white rat can atone for their sins with the rat people!

At this moment, the white rat stared with its red eyes, and in this dim secret room, the madness in its eyes was clearly visible.

Even after the baptism of the essence of blood and flesh, the influence of the blood mushroom on its bone marrow could not be resolved.

Madness still follows like a shadow.

Afterwards.

Amidst the celebration, a cruel purge began quietly.

Some rat warlords and priests were selected as the targets of this purge.

All the priests who had contacted the rat warlords and were responsible for transporting slaves and young rats were executed and thrown into the black abyss. The rat warlords who were too greedy and turned a blind eye to the whereabouts of the lizardmen and the pigmen were executed and thrown into the black abyss.

All the rat priests who participated in the temple priests and had some inappropriate thoughts about the white rat were secretly executed and thrown into the black abyss.

Even during this period, there was a riot led by the rat priests and slave rats.

However, all this did not shake the position of the white rat, and the purge continued steadily.

And along with the purge of those priests and warlords, some young rats were also rotated to become new warlords and priests.

Under the command of the white rat, the huge army began to prepare uniformly. The fortress under construction in front of the mountain abandoned its initial defensive purpose and gradually began to turn into a huge rat breeding and training base.

From a defensive fortress, it turned into an offensive building.

At the same time, there was no hesitation or hesitation.

The rat army that completed the first stage of integration immediately began to march, and the target was the lizard people who settled in the swamp wetlands.
