Chapter 85, Greedy Rat
Finally, the temple envoy accepted the wild boar cook, and Sheng Qi also successfully got a grace period.
Even though the grace period was not long enough.
But he was relieved after all. He turned his head in front of the small temple and prayed devoutly to the small temple and the great god.
But the problem was still not solved after all.
Whether it was the fabricated story or the slaves who had to be handed over even though they were given a grace period.
These problems were easy to solve, as long as Sheng Qi could catch enough slaves.
As long as the quota could be made up, as long as there was a surplus after making up the quota, then everything would be fine, even if the fabricated story might be exposed, as long as there were surplus slaves to give to the temple envoy.
Then everything would be fine.
Could he still not know how the old guy got the opportunity to establish another slave-catching team? Wasn't it by giving the temple envoy enough satisfactory gifts!
And is this story easy to be exposed? Not necessarily.
So now the problem arises, where can we get enough slaves?
This problem is very tricky. After all, there is nothing left in the forest except those wild boars who are quite difficult to deal with.
Sheng Qi fell into distressed thinking.
Until some unlucky people who shared the same fate as him gathered together.
He stopped and looked at the young rat priests who surrounded him in front of him, those unlucky people who were also miserable and became temporary captains of the slave-catching team.
An idea appeared in Sheng Qi's mind.
But it was not enough. He had just seen the combat effectiveness of his own slave-catching team not long ago. Those guys were not trustworthy at all, even if they gathered in groups.
Do I have any choice?
Wait! It seems that there is a choice!
He remembered a rat army that was temporarily stationed in the outpost and temporarily unmanaged.
Okay, everything is connected.
In the joy that leaped up, the young rat priest, who was just covered in cold sweat and almost unsteady on his feet, had an exaggerated smile on his face.
He raised his arms to his colleagues gathered in front of him.
"I think you all want to know how I did it! I have to admit that the process was very difficult, but I succeeded, and you still have no idea!"
In that exaggerated smile.
"I can help you now! Just a little cooperation, I just don't know what you will choose!"
The young rat priest once again chose to make a bold decision without hesitation.
He got good results in two consecutive gamblings, and his courage was greatly tempered.
Unconsciously, a little greed appeared in his eyes, and was cast on the rat priests in front of him who looked at each other in bewilderment.
Now, a bold and crazy idea appeared. He only needed to collect these poor unlucky people in front of him as chips and weave a little lie, so he could go for a big ticket.
………….
In the underground rat city.
Shu Zhan suddenly sneezed violently, raised his head suspiciously and looked around.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little unhappy, as if his things were being targeted by that despicable guy.
This made Shu Zhan inexplicably more suspicious.
But after thinking about it, he didn't think there was anything wrong.
Recently, Shu Zhan felt that he was quite lucky because of the war suddenly launched by the wild boar man.
If there is no accident, when Bai Shu gets rid of his temple priest group, the third war of gods will begin.
Speaking of which, Bai Shu is also awkward. He doesn't want to be a good high priest, but he has to set up a temple priest group, and the members vote to decide the major events of the rat people.
It's really unnecessary. As long as this old guy doesn't die, is there really anything he wants to do in the rat kingdom that anyone dares to question?
He has to do this kind of thing.
I don't understand, but it doesn't matter. He is also a member of the temple priest group anyway, and he is only half a ratman short of the old man Bai Shu. The old man can count as two priests' votes, and he counts as one and a half.
Add three younger brothers, and you have four and a half ratman priests' votes.
This makes Shu Zhan very happy.
He doesn't think that he is only half a ratman priest short of Bai Shu.
But in this priest group, he plus a younger brother can surpass Bai Shu by half a ratman priest.
Although Shu Zhan still thinks Bai Shu is messing around until now.
But this does not prevent him from agreeing with this unestablished ratman priest group after getting the benefits.
It is a good thing, no doubt!
And it can be even better. In this incoming war, Shu Zhan saw an opportunity. Looking at the entire ratman kingdom now, Shu Zhan feels that he is the only one who can command the war of gods.
Since the White Rat must need me to fight against the wild boars, shouldn't I get more!
In his instinctive greed, Shu Zhan decided to use the war as a bargaining chip and ask for more from the White Rat, although he still hasn't figured out what the so-called voting resolution is for.
But this doesn't prevent him from keenly realizing the importance of the temple priest seat.
He needs more seats. When the war comes, he needs his identity as the only rat warlord and the 20,000 rat warriors he brought back from the wetlands.
These are his bargaining chips.
Although 20,000 rat warriors are not many, Shu Zhan is confident that as long as the White Rat is willing to allocate a large number of young rats to him, he can rely on these 20,000 rat warriors as a skeleton to quickly pull up a rat army larger than the Second Rat Expedition.
Even though the combat effectiveness of this army will definitely decline due to the large number of young rats.
But it is backed by the Desolate Mountains.
Just relying on the young rats that are constantly replenished, Shu Zhan feels that he can pile up the wild boars to death.
Therefore, Shu Zhan was undoubtedly the most excited person in the underground rat city about the invasion of the wild boars, compared to the rat priests who were focusing on the intrigues for the seats of the temple priests.
Shu Zhan not only sent a rat warlord to the outpost to mobilize the personal guards, but also left him an order to collect intelligence on the wild boars.
Everything was so beautiful for Shu Zhan now.
In fact, his judgment was not wrong. Now he was the only one in the rat empire who had the ability to command a large army, but this did not mean that there were no variables.
What he might not know was that the rat army he left at the outpost, which was also the rat army with the biggest bargaining chip of Shu Zhan at present, was recently targeted by a daring kid.
