'We … seem to have run into someone of the same kind!'
Meng Chao's mind raced. Countless scenes from his previous life flashed in his mind, and when he connected them with the clues he discovered in his current life, he instantly came to a realization. 'These people's goal is the same as ours.
"However, their appetite is much bigger than ours. We only want to loot a mere Blood Skull Divine Temple, but they plan to sweep away dozens of divine temples in Blackhorn City.
'That's right. That's right. They've spent a lot of effort and spent an astronomical amount of resources to cause such a huge ruckus. How can the weapons, armor, and medicine offered in one Blood Skull Temple be enough to satisfy their appetite? 'At the very least, they'll need to loot thirty to fifty temples to be satisfied!'
This shocking conclusion startled the ice storm.
It had to be known that temples were incredibly revered in the hearts of the Turanians.
Warriors from different clans would rather fight on the battlefield until blood flowed in rivers. They rarely attacked each other's temples.
Aside from her and Meng Chao, who were anomalies, she really did not know who else would be so bold as to take the risk of being cursed by the ancestral spirits and loot all the temples in Black Horn City.
"Look, they went in."
Meng Chao pointed at the hooded cloaks who had snuck into Blood Skull Temple and said, "If my guess is correct, the bulging bags they carry are filled with tools to crack the temple's mechanisms. This is a very professional team. By the looks of it, they've done a lot of work in searching for and unlocking temples in the past.
"If that's the case, it's clear why they incited such a large scale riot among the rat people.
"The mastermind behind the Great Horned Rat God's Descent might not really want to save all the rat people and give them dignity and freedom.
"The rat people are just pawns and pawns of the mastermind. They're just tools to divert the Blood Hoof Warriors' attention.
"Originally, even if the elite warriors of the Blood Hoof Clan gathered at the Blood Hoof Temple outside the city to carry out practical drills and swear an oath of blood, the military strength in Black Horn City was really low.
"But the big families will always leave some guards behind.
"Furthermore, many temples are not located in relatively open public areas like the Blood Skull Arena. Instead, they are located in the deep mansions of military nobles that have been passed down for a thousand years.
"For example, the ancestral homes of the Bloodhoof Family and the Iron Skin Family are indestructible military fortresses. Just the iron walls that are dozens of arms tall are an insurmountable obstacle.
"Therefore, taking advantage of the time when Blackhorn City's military strength is lacking to loot the dozens of temples in the city is an impossible mission.
"As long as there are any abnormalities in the city, even if the army outside the city is unable to return in time to provide reinforcements, more than a hundred experts like Casava Bloodhoof will be able to return to Blackhorn City as fast as lightning. Together with the Divine Temple Guards, they will be able to kill all the invaders.
"Even the craziest temple thief wouldn't be able to plan such a reckless operation.
"Therefore, even in their dreams, the chiefs and priests who ruled over Blackhorn City would never have thought that someone would dare to target the Divine Temple.
"However, the descent of the Big-horned Rat God instantly shattered most of the disadvantageous factors, causing the originally impossible mission to become a miracle!
"First, through a professional team skilled in earthworks and explosives, they would dig holes under Blackhorn City and find the places with the highest concentration of flammable and explosive gases that have accumulated for decades or even centuries. They would then meticulously design the explosion points to ensure that most of the iron walls surrounding the mansions would be blasted into smithereens. At the very least, they would blast a few holes, collapse a few places, and create a few 'green passageways.'
"Then, they would incite the rat people and light the flames of resistance in their hearts. They would send and nurture a large number of core members and organize thousands of rat people. At the moment the explosion occurred, they would create a raging tide of rat people that would sweep through all of Blackhorn City.
"I think that under the leadership of these hooded, cloaked elite rat people, the rat people's frenzy will not only break through the granaries and arsenals of the Blood Skull Arena, but also all of Black Corner City's granaries and arsenals.
"Now, a large number of rat people would have obtained enough food. They would also use relatively sharp weapons and relatively sturdy and light armor to arm themselves.
"The benefits of doing this are self-evident.
"The temple guards who stayed in Blackhorn City believe that this is just a simple riot of the rat people. The rat people's targets are only the granaries and armory.
"They cannot defend the temple to the death and watch as the chaotic flames spread in the surroundings. They will definitely go to the armory and granaries, suppress the rat people, and try to restore order.
"In any case, it's impossible for these rat people, who have lowly blood flowing in their veins, to break through the temple. They don't have the courage or even the thought of attacking the temple. This mindset exists in the minds of both the rat people and the Blood Hoof Warriors!
"And the elite rat people who are hidden in the rat tide can use the lives of the rat people who have been incited by the miracle to become crazed and unafraid of death to whittle down the fighting strength of the temple guards.
"When the temple guards are exhausted, their nerves are numb, and even their sabers are blunt and cracked by the rat people's bones, they will naturally be able to easily slit their throats and reap the lives of the temple guards!
"What's even more amazing is that even if the Blood Hoof Army stationed outside the city sees the blazing flames in Blackhorn City and hears the angry roars of the rat people who are unwilling to be enslaved, they will only think that this is just a simple riot of the rat people. The rat people's targets are only the granaries and armory. Their goal is only to be fully armed and bring enough food to escape Blackhorn City!
"If that's the case, the elites of the Blood Hoof Clan will not rush back to their own temple immediately.
"They might even work with the army to slowly advance from outside the city and wipe out and suppress the rat people one by one, slowly restoring order in Blackhorn City.
"In fact, they might even send a portion of their forces to patrol and sweep through the perimeter of Blackhorn City in an attempt to stop the rat people who have escaped.
"By the time they realize that their opponents are not as simple as the fanatical believers of the Great Horned Rat God and that there are even more mysterious and dangerous people who have looted dozens of temples, these hooded people might have already fled with a large number of ancient weapons, armor, and secret medicine!"
Meng Chao talked nonstop.
Through these deductions, he continuously organized and confirmed his own judgment.
"In the end, countless rat people will die," Meng Chao concluded coldly.
Meng Chao came to a cold conclusion. "Even if the rat people are fully armed with armor and weapons and eat their fill of Mandala Fruits, they're definitely not the raging Blood Hooves Warriors' opponents. It's already pretty good if two or three out of ten rat people can escape from this crazed wave.
"The Blood Hoof Clan won't be able to gain any advantage either. After this battle, their foundation will definitely be greatly damaged, and they won't be able to advance or retreat.
"Only the person hiding behind the Great Horned Rat God and using the lives of countless rat people in exchange for the ancient weapons and totem armor worshiped in dozens of temples in Blackhorn City will be the biggest winner!"
Hailstorm held her breath. When she heard this, she let out a long, bone-chilling breath.
She mumbled, "I didn't expect there to be such a crazy plan in the world, and a lunatic with such a huge appetite!"
As she spoke, she cast an incredulous gaze on Meng Chao.
She completely believed in Meng Chao's judgment.
The person hiding behind the Great Horned Rat God was a rare genius lunatic.
Then, what was Meng Chao, who was able to deduce the lunatic's entire plan with just a few clues?
Meng Chao felt a little ashamed under Hailstorm's gaze.
He knew that he did not have meticulous deduction abilities, and he would not have been able to think of such a crazy plan.
He had only seen the standard answer beforehand and deduced the way to solve the problem based on the standard answer.
In his previous life, the Great Horned Rebellion that swept through all of Turan Lake did not last for long before it was suppressed.
But this time, the rat people's uprising severely damaged the ruling order of the five great clans, so much so that the highest authority fell from the traditional hands of the Golden Clan's Lion and Tiger Duo to Jackal Canus.
Jackal Canus led the wolves to rise to power and became the biggest and final winner of the Great Horned Rebellion.
Based on the "facts" from his previous life's memory fragments and the bits and pieces of evidence he had gathered, it was not difficult for him to guess who was the mastermind behind the "Great Horned Rat God's Descent".
"Then, what should we do?"
Hailstorm asked. "Should we follow our original plan and leave Blackhorn City as soon as possible?"
"Wait."
Meng Chao's eyes shone with a strange light as he mumbled, "If my guess is correct, we might be able to get a share of the pie from this chaotic situation."
Hailstorm had seen this light before.
Meng Chao saw the mechanism under the Blood Skull Temple and the Cranium Crusher in the hands of the Origins Warrior 249.
"What else do you want?" Hailstorm asked with a frown.
"Nothing. I'm just wondering why our appetite is so small. We only want to get something from the Blood Skull Temple, but we never thought about targeting the temples of the Blood Hoof Family, the Iron Skin Family, and the other families in Blackhorn City." Meng Chao asked.
Hailstorm was stunned for a moment before he quickly said, "Do you even need to ask? The defenses of these temples are much tighter than those of the Blood Skull Temple. It's very difficult for outsiders to get close to them. And even without the temple guards, the mechanisms in the temples are not that easy to break. We don't have the time or the ability to break into so many temples in one go! "
"That's right. It's already pretty good if we can handle the Blood Skull Temple with just the two of us."
"But what if someone has already brought the ancient weapons, totem armor, and valuable medicine from the temples in Black Corner City to the surface?" Meng Chao smiled and said, "But what if someone has already helped us bring the ancient weapons, totem armor, and valuable medicine from the temples in Black Corner City?"
Hailstorm widened his eyes. "You want to attack the temple thieves?"
