All the rat warriors opened their eyes and mouths in a daze.
Their mouths were so wide that they could fit a long-furred elephant with its tusks sticking out in there.
Also, no matter how hard they tried, they could not find words that were precise and rich enough from their poor vocabulary to describe what the golden valkyrie statue brought them. It was a hundred times more shocking than the Zombie Rat God.
There seemed to be three to five sets of totem armor on the golden valkyrie’s body.
Each set of armor had a translucent texture.
Between the armor, countless golden threads were crisscrossed, forming a dense spirit energy circulation network.
It was also like blood vessels and nerves, outlining this shining, magnificent life form that seemed to have energy.
Although her facial features were still the same as that of the Ancient Dream Saintess before this, and her face was just as beautiful…
The lines on her face were even more distinct as if it was carved out of marble, giving off a heroic aura.
The eyes that shot out from her four pupils were like flames, but they also became clearer and more determined, as if they could illuminate the dark road that was filled with blood and thorns ten thousand miles ahead.
She held an octagonal shield in her left hand. The shield’s surface was covered in golden spikes, and it gave its wielder an aggressive aura.
There was a huge golden sword in her right hand that was raised high, and the sword was surrounded by electric arcs.
This huge sword seemed to be formed from ten thousand rays of the fiercest sunlight at noon and ten thousand rays of the brightest lightning in the dark night. It had a mysterious power that could pierce through one’s soul.
Even if the rat warriors, who were in the outermost perimeter of the battle formation and were hundreds of meters away, saw it from afar. They would feel that the glint from the Ancient Dream Saintess’ sword was heading straight for them.
No, it was not an attack, but a guide.
The light from the Ancient Dream Saintess’ sword headed straight for the thousands of rat warriors. However, at the last moment, it passed over their shoulders, brushed past the corners of their eyes and their cheeks, and pointed all the way to the south.
Along with the stinging pain in the corner of their eyes and cheeks, the rat warriors could not help but twist their necks and look in the direction that the Ancient Dream Saintess pointed.
Their eyes and mouths, which were already opened to the limit, were torn apart, and they were about to spit out blood.
“What… What is this?”
“How is this possible?!”
“Saintess, you have given us a revelation. Is the Great Horn Army’s journey not over yet? And is there still hope for the thousands of rat warriors?”
Everyone was dazed and dumbfounded.
In the southern horizon, between the thick smoke, dark clouds, and the jungle, a magnificent city had appeared out of nowhere.
Since they were too far away, the rat warriors could not see the details of the city clearly.
However, from the rows of tall buildings, the enormous majestic aura, and the countless shining lights surrounding the tall buildings, one could see that this was not a city that advanced orcs could build with brute force. Instead, it was a mountain-top city that could only be built with the blessing of the ancestral spirits and the power of totems, the City of Glory!
Some of the rat warriors from the desert and grassland had seen or heard of the “mirage” phenomenon.
However, according to rumors from the elders and priests, the mirage was not something that could be easily seen.
It was the City of Glory’s reflection atop the Holy Mountain!
The illusion of the golden valkyrie and the giant city in the sky lasted for more than half a minute before it finally disappeared in the golden flames.
The only thing that remained was the burning pain in the rat warriors’ retinas, which made them unable to calm down for a long time.
Many of them unknowingly shed warm tears.
It was not out of fear.
It was the joy of surviving a desperate situation.
“You, did you see it?”
“I’m not the only one who saw the Saintess and the great city in the horizon, right?”
“Everyone saw it. I’m not the only one who was hallucinating!”
“This is the most obvious way that the Saintess has used to send us a message!”
Now, even the most slow-witted people realized that the Ancient Dream Saintess had not died and she possessed even more powerful totem power.
Only through such an incredible method could she convey her will to everyone at the same time.
They still did not know what the shining valkyrie and the brilliant city in the horizon actually meant.
However, it definitely did not mean that they had to surrender to the wolves, tigers, and leopards around them. It definitely did not mean that!
“Mountain Dog, what now? You still have to persevere. The Saintess is already dead, and the Great Horn Army is finished. The courage, struggle, and sacrifice of millions of rat people have all lost their meaning and hope?”
Red Bear laughed out loud, and his aura soared. His wet, drooping hair stood up like a sharp arrow that had been drawn to the bowstring.
The exploding hair made his body suddenly expand three to five times, and he completely overpowered his opponent, who was originally on par with him.
Mountain Dog was speechless.
His loyal confidants and brothers, who had followed him for many years, had a glimmer of hope on their faces.
To be honest, if there was a chance, they weren’t willing to surrender.
Putting aside the righteousness, who could guarantee that ‘Jackal’ Kanus would really fulfill his promise?
Even if the Wolf King himself was willing to fulfill his promise, even the rat people knew that the Wolf Clan was far from being the strongest clan in the Gold Clan.
If the Lion Clan and Tiger Clan were furious, they would definitely punish the ‘rebels’ or use them as a bargaining chip to return them to the original masters of the Blood Hoof, Thunder, Dark Moon, and Divine Wood Clans.
Could a small wolf king go against the will of the Lion and Tiger Kings?
If it fell into the original masters’ hands, especially the destroyed Blood Hoof Clan in Black-corner City, forget continuing to live, even a quick death would become an impossible luxury.
Even under the most perfect circumstances, they would not be punished, and they would not be broken up and reorganized.
In the upcoming Battle of Glory, they would definitely be cannon fodder at the forefront of the Turan Army.
The chances of surviving the Holy Light cleansing and magic bombardment were extremely slim.
The White Bone Battalion’s elites were not afraid of death.
They were only afraid that their deaths would be meaningless.
Since the Ancient Dream Saintess was still alive and she had carved out a path of glory for them, they had a clear direction.
Being cannon fodder for the five great clans was death, and fighting for the future of all the rat people was death at the very most.
What reason was there not to choose the latter?
Clang!
The two full moon scimitars in Mountain Dog’s hands, which had been greatly strengthened by substances resembling liquid metal, fell to the ground.
The silver-colored metal that seemed to be incomparably hard attached to the blade turned into round mercury once again, flowing back to his body. Together with the totem armor on his body, it was once again sucked into his body.
Mountain Dog disarmed himself.
A complicated expression appeared on his face.
The crisscrossed scars and wrinkles on his face finally gathered into a brilliant smile like a sparkling lake after quivering for a long time.
At this moment, the two groups of people behind the two iron-blooded generals could finally breathe a sigh of relief. They put down their weapons at the same time and revealed a genuine smile just like the main general.
“Cough cough cough cough cough!”
Suddenly, a series of rapid coughs came from the center of the crowd.
Leaf, who had curled up into a ball, slowly woke up.
Red Bear, Mountain Dog, and all the elites of the White Bone Battalion hurriedly surrounded him.
Numerous large hands helped Leaf up at the same time.
“Leaf, how are you?”
Red Bear and Mountain Dog nervously asked in unison.
“I…”
Leaf’s face was pale, and he was sweating profusely. He was dehydrated as if he had just completed an extremely important mission and exhausted all his strength.
However, he did not panic or flinch in front of everyone’s eyes.
Although he was extremely exhausted, he was still focused and calm as he carefully recalled everything that had happened just now.
“I seem to have had a dream…”
The Rat Nation youth took a deep breath and slowly told everything that he saw in the dream to all the Rat Nation warriors who were unwilling to be oppressed, unwilling to submit, and unafraid of death.
..
Three days later.
To the southwest of Hundred Blade City, a forest path that was usually unfrequented by humans was now filled with rotten corpses.
A lizard with three heads and red pustules on its back was lying on top of the rat people’s corpses and feasting on them.
After eating so much, it gradually relaxed its vigilance and did not realize that its time to die had come.
Speaking of which, the past ten days and half a month had been a good time for the Three-headed Lizard that lived in the dense forest around Hundred Blade City.
First, the wolf cavalry and the Great Horn Army set up ambushes in the dense forest, surrounding, luring the enemy, and engaging in bloody battles. Almost every time there was a soul-stirring collision, they would leave behind at least a few hundred, and at most a few thousand corpses.
Then, there was the Great Horn Army’s internal strife. It was a hellish night, turning the dense forest into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Thanks to that, the Three-headed Lizard’s greatest worry went from hunger to why it did not have a few more heads and mouths. Otherwise, it would not be able to finish eating so many corpses.
And that was not the end.
Just as the Great Horn Army’s internal strife came to an end, a large number of rat soldiers put down their weapons and surrendered to the Wolf Cavalry in batches.
At the center of the battle formation, the White Bone Battalion warriors, who had originally been the most elite and the most valiant, suddenly exploded with courage and strength that was a hundred times stronger than before. It was like one… No, they were like ten thousand sharp arrows that had been suppressed to the limit. With flaming arrowheads, they shot out toward the south.
Without question, they tore apart the defenses of their former comrades, who had just surrendered to the wolves and had no will to fight.
Not only did they not lose too many men, but it also attracted some of the surrendered soldiers who still have some shame, dignity, and courage left.
The troops that broke out of the encirclement were like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger.
Even the Wolf King, who thought that victory was in his grasp, did not expect the White Bone Battalion’s elites to break out of the southern encirclement so resolutely.
The wolf cavalry that had hastily gathered together and attempted to intercept the fleeing troops failed to complete their mission.
On top of that, they fell into the trap set up by one of the fleeing troops’ two leaders, Mountain Dog.. They wanted to trick them into surrendering, but they were killed by the fleeing troops who were eager to return instead.
