The story of the two soldiers made everyone’s blood boil.

  Only then did everyone realize that the tall soldier with an ordinary appearance actually had such a legendary experience of escaping death.

  The Great Horn Army was truly a group filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

  After listening to Round Bone Club’s story, everyone began to have different expressions.

  Some people breathed a long sigh of relief for their escape.

  There were also people who cheered loudly for their spirit of resistance. They wished that they could fly back in time and see how shocked and lost their masters looked.

  In fact, many of the young and strong rat people who were part of this one-hundred-man team had suffered the same torture as Round Bone Club.

  There were also people who had lost their most precious family members like Old Bearskin.

  It could be said that every scar on their bodies was a symbol of deep-rooted hatred.

  The story of the two Great Horn Army soldiers had completely conquered the rat people’s hearts.

  They shot thousands of heart arrows toward the Great Horn Army’s camp.

  “What does the Great Horn Army’s camp look like?”


  Someone asked, “Is it like the rat militia’s training camp?”


  “It’s much better than that!”


  Round Bone Club said, “The clan warriors don’t treat the rat militia as human beings at all. They only use the cruelest means to squeeze out the combat strength of the servants in the shortest time possible. As for whether the rat militia get injured or even die tragically from overwork during training, and whether they leave fatal internal injuries that lead to lifelong exhaustion in just a few years, the high and mighty warriors don’t care.

  “In the Great Horn Army, every rat soldier is treated the best. Although the training is hard, protection measures are in place, and the food is absolutely sufficient. Even if they are eliminated from the training, they don’t have to worry about being abandoned. The army will always find easier jobs to accommodate everyone.

  “Moreover, everyone in the Great Horn Army is united as brothers and sisters. There will never be any officers bullying the soldiers.”


  Hearing those words, many of the rat people could not help but reveal expressions of yearning, especially those extremely strong rat soldiers who had once stayed in various training camps and received harsh training from the clan warriors.

  They could not wait to join the Great Horn Army and show off their skills.

  Meng Chao and Ice Storm looked at each other.

  The two of them were not ignorant rats. Naturally, they would not completely believe Round Bone Club’s words.

  Even if Round Bone Club was not lying, what he had seen, heard, and experienced might not be the whole truth.

  However, through his words, the two of them confirmed some interesting information.

  The Great Horn Army had not been formed recently.

  They were not a disorderly mob.

  It had established its own camp, officers, training teams, and system a few years ago. It had also sent a large number of people to explore new blood in various places of Picturesque Orchid Lake, bringing together the rat people who had an irreconcilable feud with the clan warriors, the rat people, who had a strong spirit of resistance, had all gathered together.

  Such a professional army was definitely not something that the rat people, who had been bullied, exploited, and enslaved, could form on their own.

  Thinking of this, Meng Chao held his voice and said, “The Great Horn Army is not simple at all. All of them are heroes!”


  Everyone acknowledged his words.

  Round Bone Club held his head high and looked extremely proud too.

  Meng Chao continued. “The one who created the Great Horn Army must be a hero among heroes!”


  “That’s right!”


  After his reminder, the rat people were all interested.

  The advanced orcs worshiped warriors and heroes the most, and they paid more attention to honor as well as inheritance. Every battle group from the five clans had their own glorious epics and battle achievement lists. Those names that were once glorious in famous battles were carved on the chest of every soldier in the battle group, including the founder of the battle group.

  Since the Great Horn Army had the ability to overturn the entire Black-corner City, its founder had to be an indomitable hero. In a sense, he was also the savior who had helped all the rat people escape the devil’s den.

  How could everyone not know the name of the savior?

  “Our Great Horn Army was formed by countless rat rebels.”


  Round Bone Club said, “Although the five major clans have accused us of being cowardly rat people with lowly blood, there are more rat subjects than the stars in the sky in the whole of Picturesque Orchid Lake. After thousands of years of bullying and oppression, how can we not have a few brave warriors?

  “However, in the past, the rat subjects were scattered all over Picturesque Orchid Lake and strictly controlled by the clan warriors. They were not well-informed about each other. Even if one or two rebels appeared occasionally, they would quickly be suppressed by the clan warriors. Like sporadic wildfires, they were put out in an instant by the torrential rain.

  “Despite that, as long as we gather together, the wildfire will turn into a volcanic eruption. It is definitely not something that can be extinguished by a mere storm!”


  That answer naturally could not satisfy the rat subjects, whose curiosity had risen to their throats.

  Without even needing Meng Chao to say anything, a rat subject immediately asked in a loud voice, “In that case, Round Bone Club, who exactly gathered so many rat subjects who were filled with the spirit of resistance? Who is the commander of the Great Horn Army? Is he very powerful? Is he even more powerful than the chiefs of the five great clans?”


  “This… Of course!”


  Bone Club was also somewhat uncertain.

  However, he was not willing to weaken the Great Horn Army’s momentum in front of the rat people who had just been rescued.

  He contemplated for a moment and gave everyone an absolutely correct answer. “If we really want to talk about it, the one who gathered so many rat warriors is, without a doubt, the Big-horned Rat God!”


  “Have you seen the real Big-horned Rat God?”


  The rat soldiers were all shocked.

  “I haven’t, but many of the officers, witch doctors, and priests in our Great Horn Army are psychics. They have all seen the Rat God in their meditations and dreams, and they have received blessings and power from the Rat God. At a critical moment, the Rat God can even descend into this world through their bodies and personally command us to fight!” Round Bone Club said resolutely.

  “Ah…”


  The rat people gasped in surprise and envy.

  Meng Chao narrowed his eyes as well.

  After more than a month of investigation and recollection, he had already sketched out the general structure of the Turan civilization in his mind. He had a preliminary understanding of its entire social form, power system, and special professions.

  A “psychic” was a profession unique to Picturesque Orchid Lake.

  As the name implied, it allowed direct communication with the ancestral spirits through meditation, sleep, and other methods. After receiving enlightenment from the ancestral spirits, one would borrow the power of the ancestral spirits and even use one’s own body of flesh and blood as a “vessel.” One would be the person who had accepted the ancestral spirits’ descension to the human world and displayed supreme divine power.

  If one considered that the rat people formed the Turan civilization’s blood flesh…


  Then the clan warriors formed the Turan civilization’s bones.

  Meanwhile, the mediums were the Turan civilization’s brains, the true ruling class.

  The mediums might not all be chiefs and priests.

  However, the chiefs, priests, witch doctors who had risen from the dead, and the invincible generals were all mediums.

  It was said that when the powerful mediums invited the oldest ancestral spirits to descend into their bodies, their entire appearance, temperament, and even strength would undergo a complete transformation. They could even turn the world upside down, as everything around them would be distorted by their aura.

  It was really like the reincarnation of the ancient Turan warriors from tens of millions of years ago!

  “There are spirit mediums in the Great Horn Army?”


  All the rat people widened their eyes.

  If they were facing ordinary clan warriors, they would still have the courage to hold their swords and fight with all their might.

  The spirit mediums were almost incarnations of the ancestral spirits, the guardian gods of every clan and the representative of every clan who walked in Picturesque Orchid Lake.

  It was definitely not something that human power could contend against.

  In fact, for thousands of years, a spirit medium had almost been born in the five great clans.

  It was never heard that any rat people could receive enlightenment and blessings from the ancestral spirits.

  That also became a big “proof” of the dirty blood flowing in the rat people.

  So many rat people felt that they were dwarfs, and they were willing to endure endless oppression and torture.

  If the rat people could also become psychics…


  Then there was no reason for them to belittle themselves.

  “That’s because the Big-horned Rat God has been sleeping for tens of millions of years.”


  Round Bone Club seriously explained, “Now that the Big-horned Rat God has woken up, more and more psychics have appeared among the rat people.

  “The Great Horn Army has gathered a large number of spirit mediums among the rat people. Many of them received enlightenment from the Rat God in their sleep. Hence, they were able to master all kinds of superb combat techniques, as well as methods of deployment and organization, without a teacher. If it weren’t for such a miracle, how could we have caused such a ruckus in Black-corner City and turned the Blood Hoof Clan into a mess?”


  Indeed, after experiencing the upheaval in Black-corner City, the fact that the Great Horn Army had a psychic did not seem so hard to accept.

  “And the most powerful psychic in the Great Horn Army is the Ancient Dream Saintess.”


  Round Bone Club added, “Not only was she able to hear the Big-horned Rat God in a trance, she was also able to communicate with him very clearly in her dream. She learned a lot of important information from the Rat God thousands of years ago, and she remembered it clearly even after she woke up.

  “For example, information on the temple that was lost thousands of years ago, the location of the armory, and the method to open it.

  “There were also methods that the ancient Turan people used to train soldiers and concoct secret medicines.

  “It should be known that countless temples, armories, secret methods, and secret treasures had been destroyed or annihilated in the sand by the Holy Light invaders during the era of the great extinction order three thousand years ago. Even the priests of the five clans, who claimed to have profound wisdom and ancient heritage, did not know their whereabouts or the method to open them.

  “The Ancient Dream Saintess used to be an ordinary female slave. If she hadn’t been able to communicate with the Rat God in her dream, how could she have known all this?

  “It was thanks to the Ancient Dream Saintess’ guidance that we discovered a large number of ancient temples and armories. That’s how we were able to arm the Great Horn Army to the teeth and obtain the power to fight against the clan warriors!”
