This scene caused all the rat miners to be dumbfounded.
After a few seconds of dead silence, astonishment, praise, and even worship rose like a tsunami.
"This is the divine weapon the Rat God gave us!"
The rat man lifted the long axe that shone with flames and continued speaking in a strange tone. "The era of glory belonging to the rat people has arrived. The Rat God's power isn't just contained in this divine weapon, it's also contained in the blood of all rat people. As long as your belief in the Rat God is sincere enough, you can create unbelievable miracles, just like me!"
Cheers rang out from the depths of the earth.
Meng Chao hid in a corner and gasped in amazement.
The long axe with cuneiform carved on it was not just a simple cold weapon. It also had powerful pure energy attacks.
In fact, it could use spirit energy ripples to interfere with the atomic energy layer of matter and change the nature of the matter. It could turn indestructible objects into powder and nothingness.
Instead of saying that the terrifying crack in front of the rat man was caused by the axe, it would be more accurate to say that it was caused by spirit energy interference. A large amount of sturdy materials that were similar to reinforced concrete turned into a semi-liquid like sand and disintegrated from the inside.
'The weapons of the ancient orcs are indeed domineering!
'It's similar to the spirit energy attack patterns of the ancient people during the ancient war that I saw through the mastermind of the monster system. They're different methods, but they achieve the same result.
'Or rather, this is the imitation and weakened version of the ancient people's skills.
"So, the purpose of the secret organization belonging to the Great Horned Rat God infiltrating Black Horn City was to dig the ancient orc's arsenal deep under Black Horn City?"
Meng Chao thought about it carefully. It should not be that simple.
After all, while the long-handled axe looked domineering, there were a lot of limitations when it was used.
First of all, the long-handled axe was rather heavy. At the very least, when the rat man reached Heaven Realm, when he swung it, his muscles bulged up.
Meng Chao wondered whether a normal rat man warrior could carry this divine weapon.
Even if they could, could they swing it fast enough to accurately hit the enemy's vitals before the enemy could react?
If they needed a few seconds to accumulate power before they could swing the axe once, and after swinging it five times, they would be panting in exhaustion.
No matter how powerful it was, it would be meaningless.
Secondly, based on the principle of conservation of mass and energy, no weapon could release powerful destructive power limitlessly.
If Meng Chao's guess was correct, the long-handled halberd was definitely filled with or embedded with high-purity crystals.
Otherwise, the ratmen would activate their vitality magnetic fields and use the spirit energy they stored in their bodies to charge the axes.
The cuneiform characters carved on the handle of the axe could at best amplify the ripples of spirit energy and the damage, but it was impossible for them to absorb spirit energy from the void incessantly.
This meant that the number of times he could use the long-handled spear was rather limited.
Once the spiritual energy was exhausted, it would become an ordinary heavy cold weapon.
There was no such thing as a "divine weapon" with infinite durability, unlimited ammunition, and spiritual energy, and no usage requirements.
At the very least, Meng Chao did not find any similar divine vessels in his previous life's memories.
In his previous life, when the Turan civilization was on the verge of destruction, they did not have a large number of "divine weapons" to turn the tables.
'The more advanced a weapon is, the more complicated it is, and the more complicated a weapon is, the easier it is for it to be damaged. After millions of years of corrosion, even if the rat people's revolutionary army found the ancient orc's armory, it's still a question mark as to just how many weapons there were in perfect condition.
'Otherwise, why would the ratman warrior only bring out a long-handled halberd?
'Perhaps there are only one or two weapons that can still be used behind the bronze door. At most, there are around fifty of them, or around one hundred of them!
'Around one hundred cold weapons that can release spirit flames aren't enough to decide the outcome of a war, much less the fates of millions of people. At most, they can be used to boost morale.'
Meng Chao thought about it. Excavating the ancient orc's armory should not be the rat people's main goal. It was just something they wanted to do along the way.
Or rather, it was a necessary condition for them to achieve their real goal.
'Just now, the ratman warrior said that the Rat God's power is hidden in the blood of all the ratmen. As long as their beliefs are sincere enough, they can create miracles just like him.
"By the way, that 'Half Face' also mentioned the words' miracle 'or' miracle 'to his companions.
'He also said that this miracle will shake all of Black Corner City.
'From this, it's clear that the secret organization that believes in the Horned Rat God wants to use the ancient orc weapons to cause major trouble in Black Corner City.
'And their real goal … Could it be to lead a large number of ratmen out of Black Corner City?'
Meng Chao had just scouted a few tunnels that had a diameter of more than five meters. They had ancient railroad tracks that led to the depths of the darkness.
Even if he was one hundred meters underground, he still had a clear sense of direction, and he could tell that the tunnels led out of the city.
If they wanted to stir up a storm that would sweep through all of Turan Lake, they had to have enough manpower, resources, and soldiers.
At that moment, there were hundreds of thousands of clan warriors and dozens of times more ratmen gathered in Black Corner City.
Quite a number of the ratmen were hardworking slave workers and well-trained servant soldiers.
They were the manpower that the ratmen revolutionary army needed the most.
If Meng Chao were the leader of the ratmen revolutionary army, before the real storm arrived, he would also think of a way to save these people and help them escape from the evil hands.
'Of course, the other possibility is that the ratmen revolutionary army did want to cause trouble in Black Corner City, but their plan was accidentally exposed, and they were suppressed.
'In any case, Black Corner City was not the main battlefield of the ratmen's riot in my previous life.
'The place where the ratmen revolutionary army caused the most trouble was in the Golden Clan's territory.
'That's why the Golden Clan sent the wolf army to suppress the ratmen revolutionary army.
'It's not beneficial for me or Dragon City's civilization to watch the ratmen revolutionary army be suppressed. I'll ignore morality and conscience. At the very least, the more the ratmen revolutionary army causes trouble in Black Corner City, the easier it will be for me to take advantage of the chaos and loot the Bloodhoof Family's medicine, armor, and treasures that have thousands of years of history!
'I've decided. I'll help the Horned Rat God cause trouble!
'Even if I don't turn Black Corner City upside down, at the very least, I have to help more ratmen escape from this man-eating demonic nest!'
While Meng Chao thought about it, he smelled a familiar scent.
A ratman warrior ran to the powerful ratman and whispered something into his ear. At the same time, he handed over a piece of cloth with an emblem.
The powerful ratman grabbed the cloth he tore off from Meng Chao's cloak. His expression changed, and he sank into deep thought.
'So, this powerful ratman who swung his axe-spear is the Horned Rat God's messenger?'
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and started thinking. 'Just how should I help them without leaving a trace?'
He left the underground area quietly and went back the way he came. Before he returned to Blood Skull Coliseum, he had already figured it out.
The easterners from Ancient Earth had a lot of experience when it came to revolting. In fact, they had an advantage because of their bloodline.
What did it mean to hide books in a fish's belly, what did it mean to howl at night, what did it mean to have a stone statue's eye? Those were all things that the ancestors of the easterners had left behind.
They were lessons learned through blood and tears accumulated over thousands of years of revolts and suppression.
They also had the basic principles of modern secret organizations.
They only needed to leak a little bit of it, and it would be enough for the ratman revolutionary army to learn it in depth. They would gain enlightenment and gain endless benefits.
Based on what he saw, Meng Chao pointed out three problems for the ratman revolutionary army.
First, the organization was too lax. They did not have any sense of wariness or anti-reconnaissance.
The most obvious problem was that the "tentacles" scattered all over Black Corner City to mobilize the grassroots forces could communicate directly with the commanders in the depths of the nest, which served as the "brain".
If that was the case, if a smart clan warrior managed to capture one of the "tentacles", he would be able to track it down and destroy the entire organization the ratman revolutionary army had set up in Black Corner City in one go.
Meng Chao suggested that the ratman revolutionary army should set up a few more levels between the "tentacles" and the "brain". The members of each level would communicate with each other through a single line. At most, they would only know their upper and lower levels and two or three people's identities. That way, even if they were captured, they would not be able to deal fatal damage to the organization.
Also, there was no need for two members to meet each other when they sent regular messages. They could just use the "dead mailbox" method.
The dead mailbox was a place where no one was around, and it was also a place where the members of the organization often had a good reason to go.
For example, the markets, taverns, casinos, and some of the lowest-level coliseums could all be set up under the audience seats.
The advantage of using the dead mailbox was that the person receiving the message did not need to see the real face of the sender. In fact, they did not even need to know who the sender was. This would undoubtedly increase their safety.
The second problem was that Meng Chao felt that the ratman revolutionary army had set up a warning line in the depths of the slums was child's play.
If the ancient orc's "armory" and the tunnel leading out of the city were really important to the ratman revolutionary army's plan, then the five warning lines that Meng Chao could easily infiltrate would be useless.
If that was the case, then the five warning lines that Meng Chao could easily infiltrate would be completely useless.
Even though the sloppy clan warriors would not have the professional standards of a Ghost Assassin.
But since they were in the business of killing people, they could not place their hopes on the enemy's stupidity.
Hence, Meng Chao introduced a few ways to set up overt and covert sentries to the big-horned rat god's messenger.
There were also a lot of ways to dig unmanned warning lines and traps.
None of them were high tech.
The simplest way was to tighten a few strands of hair and hang a few bells along the route where the enemy could easily sneak in. Then, he would place two or three small animal traps in the hidden places behind them. Then, he would be able to block a fatal loophole.
