Meng Chao originally had no interest in joining the White Bone Camp.
To him, the Great Horn Army was just a springboard.
The reason why he disguised himself as the rat people and followed the Great Horn Army was so that he could come into contact with the werewolves who came to encircle them.
Then, he would think of a way to infiltrate the latter and meet the man who was about to rise to power miraculously and stir up the war in the Other World — Canus the Jackal.
Then, based on Canus the Jackal's performance and the difference in strength between him and the enemy, as well as the environment at the time, he would decide whether to tempt this ambitious madman into someone he could work with.
Or whether to kill his body and ambition while they were still in the cradle.
As for the Ancient Dream Saintess.
Even though the officers and priests of the Great Horn Army boasted about her to the skies.
But Meng Chao wasn't too interested in this strange girl with double pupils.
It wasn't that Meng Chao didn't believe in divine revelations.
There were gods and devils in the Other World.
It didn't matter what the true face of the Other World's gods and devils was. Was it some advanced civilization that far surpassed the limits of Earthlings' imagination, or was it a remnant of the fierce battle between the "ancients" and the "mother" during the ancient war?
In any case, those who received the blessings of the gods and devils could control supernatural powers that could destroy the world.
But Meng Chao didn't believe that the Ancient Dream Saintess could receive a true divine revelation.
He also didn't believe that the Great Horn Rat God was a real "god and devil".
The proof was that in the history of his previous life, the Great Horn Army rose and fell, and they didn't manage to control all of Turanze.
The Ancient Dream Saintess didn't even leave her name behind, or she was intentionally killed. She didn't manage to make a single ripple in the mighty tide of the era.
He analyzed all the information he had gathered.
She should just be a puppet, a man-made idol, right?
Since Meng Chao already knew the name of the puppet's master.
Why should he waste time on a puppet?
But plans couldn't keep up with changes.
The appearance of an unexpected factor caused him to change his mind.
On the afternoon of the day the rat people and the White Bone Camp's cavalry met up.
Meng Chao smelled Leaf's scent.
Speaking of which, it had been almost two months since he parted ways with the rat people.
During this period of time, whenever Meng Chao went to a place, he would carefully sniff his surroundings in an attempt to distinguish the scent of the tracking powder he personally created from the complicated scents.
In the first few days, he could still vaguely smell something. He knew that the straight-line distance between him and Leaf was no more than ten to twenty kilometers.
By the time all the Rat Dwellers were running around like headless flies, the smell of the powder was getting thinner and thinner.
After Meng Chao rushed out of Pit Space Plains, he could no longer smell the tracking powder that Leaf carried.
This puzzled him, and at the same time, he was slightly worried.
Yezi was a meticulous young man with strong observation and action skills. His growth was astonishing.
Meng Chao did not believe that something as simple as secretly pouring some tracking powder on him while he was off guard would be able to stop him.
The tracking powder that he gave to Leaf was enough to be poured over a hundred times, so it shouldn't be used up so quickly.
Could it be that something bad happened to this kid?
Meng Chao thought.
At that moment, the pungent smell made him realize that Leaf was very close to him.
He actually became a member of the White Bone Camp's cavalry!
"As expected of a little fellow that has been personally refined by me. Not bad!"
Meng Chao was surprised and delighted.
But when he thought of the tragedy that was about to happen, he could not help but frown.
The Big Horn Army was about to be destroyed.
As the trump card of the main force, the White Bone Camp was naturally the first target of the enemy.
Even the Ancient Dream Saintess was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, unable to protect herself.
What good could come out of joining this army that was known as the Ancient Dream Saintess personally refined a sharp blade?
Meng Chao wanted to save Leaf.
It was not just because they knew each other.
It was also because Leaf might have a lot of crucial information.
This included how the White Bone Camp trained the elite rat people soldiers, whether he had seen the Ancient Dream Saintess with his own eyes, the true appearance of this Saintess, what was the truth behind the battle between the White Bone Camp and the Howling Battle Group, and how exactly did the "Nighthawk", a big shot of the Wolf Clan, die.
Through this information, Meng Chao could further analyze the relationship between the Big Horn Army and the Jackal Canus.
There was one more important point.
Leaf did not escape the Blood Skull Coliseum alone.
He also took with him twenty-eight Rat Dwellers that Meng Chao had personally chosen and refined.
They were all tough men, and they had been influenced by the advanced tactical concepts from Dragon City.
Since Leaf was in the White Bone Camp.
The Rat Dwellers who obeyed Meng Chao wholeheartedly might also be in the White Bone Camp.
If Meng Chao could help them avoid the destruction of the Big Horn Army, he would have a lot of valuable manpower under him.
He would have a valuable human resource under his command, and he wouldn't have to do everything himself like he did now.
After analyzing the pros and cons, Meng Chao had thought about sneaking into the White Bone Camp's camp to meet up with Leaf.
But the White Bone Camp and the normal Rat Dwellers were not stationed together.
The former's camp was surrounded by hundreds of Wargs as the first line of defense.
There were also dozens of hidden sentries behind it. The security was tight.
The Bone Camp's elite soldiers liked to wear a mask made of beast bones. They did not want to reveal their true faces.
Even if Meng Chao could sneak in.
It would be hard for him to find a chance to talk to Leaf and the others.
"Looks like we have to think of a way to join the White Bone Camp."
Meng Chao said to Hailstorm.
More and more evidence showed that the existence of the Big Horn Army was a huge conspiracy.
Hailstorm also realized that her journey to find her father and take back her mother's belongings would not be so smooth.
When she heard Meng Chao say that there might be dozens of her old subordinates in the White Bone Camp, Hailstorm was tempted.
With their current realm, it would not be hard for them to stand out as long as they revealed a tenth or twenty percent of their strength.
But they did not want to do so.
Because they had stolen the temple thieves' loot in Black Horn City.
Meng Chao and Hailstorm, who had a guilty conscience, did not want to expose their true identities in front of the Big Horn Army's officers, priests, and even the Ancient Dream Saintess.
They were now pretending to be two Rat Dwellers whose homes had been destroyed by the conscription team. They had a blood feud with the clan warriors, and they had relied on hatred to survive to this day.
It was very strange for such a Rat Dweller Army to suddenly have shocking fighting power on the battlefield, and even have totemic armor growing out of their bodies.
At that time, as long as the priests of the Big Horn Army cast a few suspicious glances at them, it would be easy for them to be exposed.
So, if they wanted to join the White Bone Camp, they needed to think carefully about how they would stand out.
…
"Charge! Kill! The Big Horn Rat God is watching us!"
Three days later, Meng Chao's rat people volunteer army worked together with eight volunteer armies that rushed over from all directions. They gathered together and formed a raging tide to attack Hundred Blade City, which was located at the center of the Golden Clan.
It was different from the small cities they destroyed at the southern borders, which were guarded by the old, weak, and sick.
Hundred Blade City was the first city the Big Horn Army attacked. In the war poems of the Turan civilization, it was a famous ancient city.
According to legend, in the bloody battle ten thousand years ago, countless warriors had died here.
And before their heroic sacrifice, the brilliant and peerless fight to the death had deeply moved the ancestral spirit at the beginning.
The ancestral spirits blessed them, turning the blood, organs, and corpses of these warriors into the most fertile fertilizer, nourishing the entire land.
It caused the ground within a circular area of dozens of miles to be filled with inexhaustible totem power.
After absorbing the totem power, the Mandala Trees that grew had sturdier trunks than other Mandala Trees, and their branches were sharper.
Many of the Mandala Trees that were more than one thousand years old gradually showed signs of turning into metal or crystal.
At first glance, they were crystal clear and shone with brilliant colors. They looked like a steel forest formed by swords, spears, and spears.
If the branches of these Mandala Trees were cut down and polished, they would become the strongest weapons.
Not only were they several times sharper than weapons made of normal metal, but they also naturally contained great totem power.
Moreover, it naturally contained rich totem power, which could help the wielder easily display powerful totem battle skills.
For high-grade orcs who were not skilled in mining and refining metals, these Mandala Trees could naturally absorb the metal elements and totem power from underground.
These Mandala Trees, which could naturally absorb the metal elements and totem power from underground, were gifts from the gods.
Hundred Blade City, which was used to continuously produce weapons and offer sacrifices to the ancestral spirits, was born.
And for a very long time, it was a glorious city that could compete with Pure Gold City. It was one of the top ten cities in Turanze.
Unfortunately, in the era of the "Major Extermination Order" three thousand years ago, the army from the Land of Holy Light made Hundred Blade City their first target after invading the Golden Clan's territory.
Not only did the believers of the Holy Light surge into this city with ten thousand years of history like a shining tide, they destroyed all the temples in the city, burned every workshop that was used to polish weapons, and spread the flames to every corner of the city, burning for ten days and ten nights.
They even cast an incredible curse, allowing the power of the Holy Light to seep into the ground near Hundred Blade City, interfering with and sealing the totem power underground.
Even after the Holy Light army was defeated a hundred years later.
The Mandala Tree that had regrown had also lost its crystal-clear and vibrant characteristics of the past.
Although the branches and trunks still contained a large amount of metal elements, they could still be turned into swords, spears, and spears after being tempered.
But the quality was not much higher than the weapons forged by conventional methods. They lost their magical power of cutting through metal like mud.
This was because the output and quality were not satisfactory.
The rebuilt Hundred Blade City also lost its former glory.
Whether in terms of scale or defense, it was not even a tenth of what it used to be.
But this was a God-given land that everyone in Turanze knew.
If the Big Horn Army could really conquer Hundred Blade City, it would seriously shake the ruling order of the Golden Clan.
