Chapter 71, Temple Priests

The deal between Bai Shu and Shu Zhan was conveyed by the rat priest who was running back and forth. Shu Zhan did not return to the desolate mountains immediately, but wandered hesitantly in the lush forest.

Admittedly, he was smart and sure that Bai Shu would not kill him directly, but Shu Zhan's choice from the heart proved that this was not absolute.

He was still afraid of his old boss, the crazy and terrible old white rat.

It was not until the news that the rat priest who was running back and forth was constantly conveyed that it was confirmed that the two sides had reached a deal.

Faced with such generous conditions, even if Shu Zhan felt that something was wrong, after thinking about it, it seemed that there was no harm to him at all, so he naturally accepted it.

And in the process of bargaining back and forth, Shu Zhan gradually put his mind at ease and became bolder.

Finally, the rat expeditionary force that had been wandering in the forest for several days returned to their base camp.

This difficult expedition came to an end.

Moreover, the return of the expeditionary army did not even cause a huge wave among the rats. At this point in time, all the qualified rats were aiming at something more important.

The temple priest group that was about to be established.

As the rules were constantly disclosed by the white rat, all the rat priests who felt they were qualified rushed back from all directions and crowded into the temple dedicated to the gods.

Because soon, after the rat war, who was favored by the gods, handed over the artifact in his hand, the white rat would officially start to select the members of the temple priest group.

Even the rat war only stayed in the fortress at the entrance of the desolate mountains for a few days.

When he thoroughly understood what the white rat was going to do recently, he left the army in his hands without hesitation and hurriedly embarked on the journey with the rat warlords he had newly appointed.

Along the tunnel dug out of the mountains, he ran wildly towards the underground city where the rat temple was located deep in the desolate mountains.

Rat War now wants to see White Rat. He wants to confirm the promise conveyed by the priest. It is urgent and important!

After defeating the Lizardmen in the first war of gods, the number of ratmen also expanded rapidly along with the large forest occupied by ratmen.

With the abundant resources in the forest, the ratmen almost got the overflowing resources.

A large number of young ratmen were born and quickly filled into the ranks of slave rats and ratmen warriors. Of course, most of the young ratmen were actually filled into the ranks of slave rats.

And the ratmen priests were also born from ratmen warriors and slave rats.

In a very short time, the ratmen tribe under Du Yuan swelled up like a balloon.

It brought many problems.

For example, the ratmen army, even though the good eyes made some changes to the model of the spear rats.

But it did not bring about any huge changes in essence.

It was nothing more than that he used to follow the spear rats as a squad leader, but now the ratmen warlords follow him.

It's just a name change, the resource allocation model has not changed.

In the past, the rat army was small, and the team leader was easy to die in the huge charge.

Even if most of the blood mushrooms sent were still swallowed by the spear rats, the dead team leader would always be selected.

If there were more blood mushrooms, they would leak from the spear rats to the rat army, and all the rat warriors could see it.

But now the size of the rat army has expanded dramatically, and the rat warlords have gradually stopped setting foot on the battlefield, but all the blood mushrooms are still eaten by the good eyes and warlords.

Even if the blood mushrooms sent by the priests have become more and more, the rat warlords will get used to leaking some blood mushrooms.

But most of the rat warriors can no longer see the blood mushrooms.

This has led to the increasingly large-scale rat army in the hands of the good eyes, but the combat effectiveness is getting worse and worse.

This problem was not solved until the white rat became suspicious and dissatisfied with the good eyes, and then after the Rat War airborne, the Rat War's attack on the rat warlords was solved.

The problems in the rat army are just a microcosm of the problems in the entire rat kingdom.

Yes, the current number and scale of rats are enough to be considered a kingdom.

The rapidly expanding scale is almost suffocating some of the structures of the previous rat tribe period.

In addition to the rat army whose combat effectiveness has been declining, there are also the rat priests who are terribly surplus, numerous and idle.

Compared with the rat warriors, who are cheap guys who will only be added if they die, the rat priests are mainly responsible for the management and maintenance of various parts of the rat kingdom.

For example, most of the rat priests born from slave rats will eventually become commanders of slave rats, and appear in the development and construction of underground cities, the excavation of mountain tunnels, the maintenance of mushroom cultivation rooms, the supervision of the breeding of young rats, and even send young rats to the battlefield.

All in all, you will find an embarrassing problem.

Yes, almost all internal affairs are maintained by the rat priests born from the slave rats.

Then what about the priests born from the rat warriors or those guys who admired the greatness of the gods and transformed into rat priests when they were young rats?

Those guys, those guys are enjoying themselves.

As a group of excellent rat priests without defects and big claws on their hands, they naturally discriminate against their colleagues who were born from slave rats.

So those complicated matters are naturally thrown to those colleagues who they think are despicable.

But more than 80% of the resources flowing to the rat priests are in the hands of these guys, because the management of the blood lake, the maintenance of the temple, and the sacrifices and other most critical matters are firmly controlled by them.

If you are a priest who has awakened since the young rat, then even if you do nothing, you will get a lot of resources.

The blood mushrooms will be delivered to your door.

The rat priests who awakened among the rat warriors are all inferior.

The only hard requirement for this group of guys is to remain faithful to Du Yuan, but obviously, doing nothing and gradually dragging down the logistics as their numbers accumulate, making many things a mess.

The guys who have given Du Yuan a headache just to sort out the logistics of the rat people recently, the power of faith they contribute is not much more than those big claw priests who do the dirty work.

It can be said that the rapidly expanding rat empire, except for the still expanding population, everything else is in chaos.

The reason why it still maintains its current stability and has not collapsed is that the group of discriminated big claw priests are still maintaining it.

Second, and most importantly, the existence of white rats.
