The story of the Great Horned Rat had been circulating in Turanze for thousands of years, but it had never received the attention of the clan warriors.
On the one hand, the people of Turanze were particular about ancestor worship. Even the lowliest rat people did not jump out of a crack in a rock. It was human nature to find a brave and fearless ancestor and put gold on their faces.
Even the high and mighty masters could not deprive the slaves and cannon fodder of their daydreaming rights.
More importantly, the lords discovered that when the rats believed in the existence of the Great Horned Rat God, they were even more willing to grit their teeth and endure the tortures and sufferings in the real world. As a result, the major families could exploit more labor and combat ability from the humble, lowly people.
After all, according to the beliefs of the Great Horned Rat God, all the rat people had to atone for the cowardice of their ancestors thousands of years ago.
They had to wait until the atonement period was over before the Great Horned Rat God would descend upon Turanze again, free them from all suffering, and establish their own clan.
In other words, for a devout rat person, before the Great Horned Rat God descended, the only thing he should do was to be content with his lowly status. He should silently atone for his sins and die in silence beside the furnace that was thousands of degrees hot in the forging workshop, on the arena that was covered in layers of internal organs and blood, and on the battlefield that was littered with corpses.
It was not a bad thing for the large clans that ruled Turanze to believe in the existence of the Great Horned Rat God.
At the very least, it was not a bad thing for the Turanze civilization that had been alternating "prosperity" and "glory" for the past thousands of years.
The problem was that after experiencing the longest era of prosperity in history, the number of rat people with terrifying reproductive abilities had also expanded to the point that even the stupid brains of the high-level orcs could not count them clearly.
Even though the main cities of the major clans and the small towns where the vassal families were located had sent out recruitment teams to the depths of the wilderness, combing the entire Tulan Land like a comb made of steel, over and over again, the Tulan Land still remained unscathed.
However, for a clan civilization that did not have reconnaissance satellites, drone surveillance, and modern mapping methods, it was obviously impossible to search for the last rat people and the last Devil's Snare Fruit that were hiding in the depths of the prairie and the jungle.
After the recruitment team burned and looted, in the ruins that remained.
In the most hidden village of the rat people in the inhospitable mountains and rivers.
In the depths of the valleys and caves.
There were always fish that slipped through the net.
Every single one of the rat people's blood vessels were filled with boundless rage. They had managed to escape this calamity by luck, but they couldn't see the direction of tomorrow.
New rumors spread like lightning, like wildfire, like a virus.
"The ten thousand years of atonement is over!
"We have used ten thousand years of sweat, blood, bones, and souls to wash away the sins of our ancestors!
"Our blood is no longer filthy, but as holy as the bravest warrior!
"The Horned Rat God heard our prayers and saw how we used ten thousand years to prove that we have the right to reclaim our glory as Turanians!
"Therefore, the Great Horned Rat God has arrived in the human world with a brand-new appearance. He is about to lead all the rats and conquer the entire Tulan Lake. He will establish the 'Sixth Clan' and become the 'War Chief'. He will command all the warriors of Tulan, including the five major clans!
The crazy words that sounded like the ravings of a lunatic lit up the rebellious hearts of countless rat people that had been suppressed for thousands of years.
They gathered all sorts of primitive beliefs and folktales together and gradually formed a large army with a strict structure — an army that belonged solely to the rat people.
Right now, these crazy words had yet to reach the ears of the aristocrats who had been ruling over Tulan Lake for generations.
Even if they heard a few words, the high and mighty men would not take it to heart. They would just treat these crazy words as the funniest joke in the world.
The lowly rat people wanted to climb above the men's heads and become the supreme war chief?
Could it be that the heavens and earth could overturn and the earth could rise above the sky?
But Meng Chao knew that the derisive smiles of the clan warriors would not last for long.
When they saw the mighty Demonic Rat Army or Great Horn Volunteer Army appear, they would charge at their battle formation like moths flying into a flame with ten times or even a hundred times the size of the Demonic Rat Army, motivated by their fervent beliefs.
It did not matter whether it was the most hot-tempered Wild Boar Warriors, the largest Wild Elephant Warriors, or the Lion Tiger Warriors with the sharpest fangs and claws.
Their mockery would turn into cold sweat that flowed along their twitching facial muscles onto the battlefield that was soaked in endless blood.
This was Great Horn's Rebellion.
In Meng Chao's previous life, before Dragon City's civilization rushed out of Monster Mountain Range, something happened in Tulan Lake and changed the structure of the Other World. It was also a major event that concerned the survival of Dragon City's civilization.
Millions or even tens of millions of rat people who could no longer tolerate it rose up in revolt under the so-called Great Horn Rat God's summons. They formed a volunteer army known as the Great Horn Army and challenged the five human races who had ruled Tulan Lake for millions of years.
Even though it was just like the countless uprisings from the bottom of society that had happened on Earth and the Other World due to their fervent beliefs, the Great Horn Rebellion could not break free of its fate.
The 'Great Horn Rebellion' couldn't escape the fate of being destroyed as soon as it started. After turning Turanze upside down, it was suppressed by the combined forces of the five clans.
But the large rat uprising still dealt a heavy blow to the rulers of Tulan Lake and shook the foundations of the five human races' rule.
When Dragon City slaughtered its way out of Monster Mountain Range, the Great Horn Army was completely suppressed.
Hence, Meng Chao did not have a lot of information regarding the Chaos of Great Horn in his mind.
But in his previous life, even elementary school students knew that Great Horn's chaos was the most direct and severe consequence.
It was the rise of Canus the Jackal.
Canus, the Jackal, was also known as the Corpse Dog, the Wolf of the Wasteland, the Wolf of Hell, the Wolf of Destruction, and the Demon Wolf of Doomsday.
He was the first werewolf in the history of the Turan Civilization to sit on the supreme throne of "War Chief".
He was also a war maniac who was about to light the fuse for the war in the Other World one and a half years later in Meng Chao's previous life.
Based on Kindling's method of dividing Dragon Citizens into normal citizens, elite citizens, special citizens, and heroic citizens …
To judge the heroes of the civilizations of the Other World.
"Jackal" Canus was definitely a "heroic unit".
Even if Meng Chao ranked the top ten people who changed the Other World based on the depth of his memories from his previous life, Jackal Canus had the chance to get into the top three.
The werewolf was a member of the Golden Clan.
However, their status in the Golden Clan had always been inferior to that of the lionmen and the tigermen.
Although the werewolves possessed powerful reproductive abilities and could mobilize the most soldiers in the entire Golden Clan, the number of soldiers they could mobilize was the highest in the Golden Clan.
However, their individual combat power was far inferior to that of the Lion Man and Tiger Man.
With such a fatal weakness, they had never had the ambition to seize the power of the Golden Clan and rule over all of Turanze, at the very least, they had never shown it.
Instead, they obediently obeyed the orders of the lion-men and tiger-men and appeared as "the most loyal lackeys of the leader".
Canus was not even the strongest werewolf.
This could be seen from the word "Jackal" in his name.
Jackals were canine beasts not much bigger than hyenas.
Although they were ferocious and cunning, compared to other jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards, their overly petite and skinny bodies caused them to face congenital deficiencies in fierce battles.
Most of the time, they had to rely on scavenging for food.
This was also how Canus got his title in the early days — Corpse-eating Dog.
If it were a normal "Prosperous Era" or "Glorious Era", a clan warrior like "Jackal" Canus, who was born weak, wouldn't have had the slightest chance to steal the hegemony of Turanze.
But the Chaos of Big Horn caused a miracle that overturned the entire Other World to happen.
When the Big Horn Army had just risen to power, none of the rulers of the clans paid any attention to the lowly rat people who sought their own deaths.
It did not matter whether it was the Golden Clan's lionmen or tiger-men.
It was still the Blood Hoof Clan's Tauren and Wild Boar Men.
Based on the tradition of the past, they sent most of their forces into the competition that was filled with a ritualistic feeling — the Battle of the Five Clans.
They tried to defeat their opponents in a fair battle and become the new war chief.
As for the motley crew formed by the lowly rat people — the laughable Big Horn Army — they would let the Wolf Clan Army, which was similarly large but had relatively weak individual combat power, deal with them.
To a certain extent, the rulers of the five clans' evaluation of the Big Horn Army was correct.
Fanatical belief did not mean great combat power.
In the end, a motley crew that could no longer tolerate it was just a motley crew.
Even though the rat people who rose up in revolt brought some trouble to the five clans with their terrifying numbers.
They forced the five clans to pour even more war resources into the Wolf Clan Army.
Jackal Canus, who led the Wolf Clan Army, completed his mission in the end and suppressed the large rat people's volunteer army.
But the lionmen, tigermen, and bullmen who had ruled over Turanze for millions of years did not expect that after they defeated and took in the remnants of the rat people's volunteer army, the Wolf Clan Army would swell up to become a terrifying existence that no one could control.
And Jackal Canus, who was congenital deficiencies and did not have a striking appearance, had ambition that did not match his size. He was also a mad genius.
Meng Chao did not know what exactly happened after the Wolf Clan Army took in the rat people's volunteer army and joined the Battle of the Five Clans.
In any case, when Dragon City rushed out of Monster Mountain Range in his previous life and came into contact with the Turan civilization, Jackal Canus had already firmly controlled Pure Gold City and the Golden Clan. He defeated and even killed most of the people who opposed him, and with the body of a Corpse-eating Dog that was congenital deficiencies, he became the invincible war chief and the supreme Turan King who ruled over all the high-grade orcs during the longest Glory Era.
