A series of questions popped up in Meng Chao's mind.
First of all, to cause the Lion and Tiger Clans to erupt into the most intense internal strife while the Big Horn Army was at the city gates and the other four clans were eyeing them covetously from behind, was already an incredible feat.
Secondly, based on his previous life's memories, even if the lion and tiger clans did have an internal strife, the one who benefited the most in the end was the Jackal Canus.
This ambitious Corpse-eating Dog seized the fleeting opportunity and broke free from the shackles of the lion and tiger clans' puppets. He transformed into the real wolf king and seized the highest authority of the War Priest. He became the most terrifying Turan King in the history of the Turan civilization!
But Meng Chao could not figure out how he did it.
After all, the cards in the Jackal Canus' hands were definitely not good.
Even if he had a close relationship with the Big Horn Army and was the one who created and controlled the Big Horn Rat God behind the scenes, the soldiers of the Big Horn Army were just deceived by him.
But the warriors of the Big Horn Army were merely deceived by him, and would never willingly follow his orders.
He had to organize the scattered forces of the wolf clan in the shortest amount of time possible, defeat the main force of the Big Horn Army in one fell swoop, successfully recruit and digest all the surrendered soldiers, and finally return to Pure Gold City to deal a fatal blow to the lion and tiger clans.
And all of this had to be done under the eyes of the lion and tiger clans.
Even though Meng Chao knew that the rise of the Jackal Canus was set in history in his previous life, he still gasped in amazement in his heart.
This Corpse-eating Dog, or rather, the Apocalyptic Wolf, was taking a risk that was like walking on a tightrope. He broke out in cold sweat.
Aside from this, there was another crucial point.
How did Ye know about this?
The Virgin Ancient Dream had told him.
But why would the Virgin Ancient Dream tell such crucial information to the normal soldiers of the Big Horn Army?
Wasn't she afraid that the lion and tiger clans would hear about it and take action?
"The Big Horn Army is going to invade Pure Gold City while the lion and tiger clans are fighting each other." If this news reached Pure Gold City, only an idiot would continue the internal strife.
Meng Chao's skeptical expression made Ye even more anxious.
"Reaper, believe me, it's real!"
"The Ancient Dream Saintess is very clear about it. She dreamt that the jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards of the Pure Gold City were killing each other. Blood flowed like a river, and both sides were heavily injured. Moreover, this was not the first time that she shared her dream with us. Even I have seen it.
"This is the best opportunity that the Great Horned Rat God has given us. Whether the rat people can regain their dignity and freedom will be decided by this battle!"
Meng Chao looked at the rat folk teenager's pale but hopeful face. He had a lot of things to say, but he did not know how to say them.
How should he tell Leaf that there was no such thing as dignity and freedom, only deceit, slavery, and death, just like before?
In the end, how should he tell Ye that the Ancient Dream Saintess whom he worshipped, loved, and tried to protect with everything he had, was either an ambitious person or a puppet of an ambitious person.
How could he tell Leaf that the Bighorn Legion's journey was about to come to an abrupt end? Hundred Blade City was the Bighorn Legion's limit. The rat people had already unleashed their full potential, but in the face of an enemy ten times stronger, crueler, and more despicable than them, their struggles were futile.
"No …"
Meng Chao shook his head hard.
He felt that he had to do something to change the Bighorn Legion's fate and shake the course of Turanze's history.
Perhaps, compared to the cruel and cunning jackals, tigers, and leopards, or the savage and violent Blood Hooves Warriors, the rat people were much more suitable allies.
There were a lot of them, but their individual fighting strength was not great. They were in desperate need of external support, so to Dragon City, they were more suitable allies.
Of course, if he wanted to fully cooperate with the Bighorn Legion, he had to completely change the Bighorn Legion.
At the very least, he had to understand the rat people's background and find out the ambitious person hiding behind the Bighorn Legion. He had to get a clear look at his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
Meng Chao's original plan was to charge straight at Canus, the Jackal.
The Ancient Dream Saintess was a skeleton in a tomb that was about to die. She was not on his list of targets.
But through Leaf's description, he gained a richer and more comprehensive understanding of the Ancient Dream Saintess. Meng Chao suddenly felt that the Bighorn Rat God's spokesperson in the human world might not be as simple as a puppet.
If he could win her over and change the fate of her and all the rat people in the Bighorn Legion …
Perhaps he could bring about an unexpected change to the development of the situation?
When he thought of this, Meng Chao nodded in his heart.
He decided to take the risk and come into contact with the Ancient Dream Saintess.
As for how he could come into contact with her …
Since Leaf's performance had been so dazzling, he could naturally come into contact with the Ancient Dream Saintess openly through him.
Meng Chao was not afraid that the Ancient Dream Saintess would learn of his true identity and the existence of Dragon City's civilization.
To the rat people's volunteer army, who were cornered and surrounded by enemies on all sides …
A powerful ally who was close to them and could provide them with an endless supply of millions of automatic rifles and millions of anti-monster grenades.
That was not a gift from the Bighorn Rat God.
It was practically the incarnation of the Bighorn Rat God.
But Meng Chao believed that there was someone behind the Ancient Dream Saintess.
It was the god who had given her power and information in her dreams.
It was the person who had turned her from a pitiful orphan girl who had lost her home into the Ancient Dream Saintess.
Regardless of whether this person was Meng Chao's final target, Canus.
Meng Chao did not want to reveal all his trump cards too early.
So, for the time being, he did not want his relationship with Leaf to be exposed.
He did not want the person hiding behind the Ancient Dream Saintess to see through his trump cards through the secret cultivation technique he had taught Leaf.
"Leaf, you said that the Ancient Dream Saintess always takes the lead. At the very least, she uses the method of controlling the Rat God's envoys to personally command the battle.
"Does this mean that as long as my performance in this battle is brave enough, there is a possibility that the Ancient Dream Saintess will see me?"
Meng Chao thought about it for a moment and asked Leaf.
The rat people teenager nodded heavily and was overjoyed. "Of course. The Ancient Dream Saintess represents the Rat God's will. She can see every warrior's brilliant performance. Harvester, are you willing to help us?"
"Of course I'm willing to help you, but I have to find the most suitable method and entry point …"
Meng Chao continued to ask. "If my performance in this battle is dazzling enough, will I be able to see the Ancient Dream Saintess?"
"Yes. Every time after a fierce battle, even if she is covered in wounds and exhausted, the Ancient Dream Saintess will spare no effort to comfort the wounded and reward the warriors. She will also share a dream with the powerful warriors who perform exceptionally well and help them become stronger in the dream!"
Leaf said. "Moreover, you are a harvester. Even the ice storm is obedient to you. I believe that as long as I speak to the Ancient Dream Saintess, she will definitely be willing to see you!"
"No need. Listen, I can help you, but you have to promise me a few things."
Meng Chao counted with his fingers. "First, stay here and rest well until the battle is over."
"This —"
Leaf subconsciously straightened his spine and tried to struggle to stand up, showing that he still had strength left.
However, he had lost too much blood, and he had overdrafted too much of his vitality in the berserk state. His legs went soft, and he fell down again.
"Look, you have already done your best to prove your bravery and loyalty."
Meng Chao quickly supported him and said, "You're like a moth flying into a flame. Aside from feeling touched, it's meaningless. If you really want to fight for the dignity and freedom of millions of rat citizens, you should continue living. You should live until the next battle, and the battle after that, until you obtain the final victory."
Leaf blushed and could only nod in agreement.
"Second, don't tell anyone about our relationship, and don't leak the news that I have already snuck into the White Bone Camp."
Meng Chao said, "I have my own way to meet the Ancient Dream Saintess. If we meet in the White Bone Camp, please pretend that you don't know me."
Leaf nodded again. He thought about it and said with a face full of suspicion, "I understand. But, why?"
"Well …"
Meng Chao said, "Of course I am willing to believe you, the Ancient Dream Saintess, and most of the rat people in the White Bone Camp.
"But can you guarantee that there are no spies in the White Bone Camp sent by jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards?
"You must know that as the battle becomes more intense, the rat people gradually release unparalleled fighting power. Their appearances also become fiercer and more boorish. They are no different from the warriors of the clans now.
"What if there is a house rat that has been raised by a rich clan for a thousand years and is loyal to them sneaks into the White Bone Camp to steal confidential information? Are you sure you want to let such a spy know our secret?"
Leaf came to a realization. He still had lingering fear in his heart. He quickly said, "The harvester is really thoughtful!"
"Alright, just rest here and recover. I will be back soon!"
Meng Chao gave all the medicine he had on him to Leaf.
He also helped him replenish the tracking powder that was about to run out.
Then, he carefully climbed out of the quagmire. While there was no one around, he used the fallen branches of the Mandala Tree to cover the quagmire to make sure that no one would discover the secret in the quagmire.
Then, he took a deep breath and moved like lightning toward the area where the battle was the most intense.
