Unlike the concept of "priests" on Earth, in Turanze, only the strongest, fiercest, and most brutal warriors were qualified for this kind of honor.
Only a body forged from steel and an indomitable will could grit their teeth and endure the pain of being torn apart when the power of the ancestral spirits descended upon their bodies. Only then could they become the best 'vessel' for the ancestral spirits.
This High Priest of the Big Horn Army was in no way inferior to the Werewolf officer.
When he mysteriously disappeared from behind Meng Chao, Meng Chao guessed that he wanted to personally take action and kill the wolf officer.
As for Meng Chao, all he needed to do was to show that he was not afraid of death and divert the attention of the wolf officer so that the high-grade priestess would have a chance to attack.
As expected!
This high ranking priest should possess the bloodline of the Lightning Clan.
His feet were as sharp as eagle claws that had been magnified several times.
The few claws pierced into the shoulders of the officer of the Wolf Tribe and locked his shoulder blades tightly, making it impossible for the officer to raise his arms.
The two claws that grew horizontally like human thumbs were embedded into the Wolf Tribe officer's neck, right above his carotid artery.
The cruel smile on the Wolf Clan officer's face instantly froze.
His eyes were filled with boundless fear and despair.
From the depths of his throat came the roar of a trapped beast.
He tried to disregard his broken shoulder blade and fiercely swing his blade upwards to chop off the high priest's legs.
However, the latter did not leave him any openings.
The muscles on his legs bulged, and his claws retreated abruptly. Then, he twisted and pulled hard, tearing apart the scapula, spine, carotid artery, and part of the throat of the officer of the Wolf Clan.
Then, with a shake of his arms, the metal wings embedded in the armor all stood up, and the profound and complicated runes engraved on them also emitted dazzling light, spurting out powerful air currents, and actually condensed into a pair of invisible giant wings, propelling his whole body into the sky.
Naturally, the Wolf Tribe officer was also tightly gripped by his cervical vertebrae and hung in midair as if he was being hanged.
Even with the valiance of the Werewolf Clan officer.
Without any leverage in midair, he could only allow himself to be trampled upon.
After a moment of symbolic struggle, there was a cracking sound as the high-ranking priest of the Great Horn army viciously twisted off the Wolf Tribe officer's head along with his helmet.
The headless body fell heavily to the ground and smashed into the wall of fire.
Fresh blood gushed out of the ghastly wound and gradually extinguished the wall of fire.
Behind the wall of fire, the elites of the Wolf Clan were dumbfounded and dispirited.
They had never expected that their most trusted officer would not be able to withstand a single blow from the rat people.
It was as if the High Priest of the Great Horn Army had not only torn apart the neck of the Wolf Tribe officer.
This included the will of all the werewolf elites present.
The high priest held the head of the Wolf Clan officer in his hand.
He cast a deep glance in Meng Chao's direction and even nodded slightly, as if he was praising Meng Chao's bravery and loyalty.
Then, he let out an ear-piercing howl and raised the head of the werewolf officer high in the air.
The helmet worn by the Wolf Clan officer was especially gorgeous.
Even if they couldn't see the face clearly, just by looking at the wolf's teeth and bristles on the helmet, they knew that it must be the head of a wolf clan noble.
Within a radius of hundreds of arms, all the elites of the Wolf Clan who saw the head were dumbfounded. They felt as if their worldview had collapsed and the whole world had changed beyond recognition.
The warriors of the Rat Tribe were greatly encouraged and believed that the Great Horn Rat God was protecting and blessing them from above the clouds.
Even Meng Chao gasped in his heart.
The moves that the high priest had executed just now were smooth and unfathomable. Without decades of practice, it was impossible for them to have reached such a high level of mastery.
"Just where did these high priests of the Great Horn Army come from?"
Meng Chao did not believe that they were rat people who had only practiced martial arts for a few years.
Even if the Ancient Dream Holy Lady could use a mysterious method to make her will descend into the bodies of these high priests and execute exquisite martial arts techniques, her body's strength could not keep up.
Without the corresponding muscle memory and conditioned reflexes, it would be impossible for her to bring out 100% of her power and instantly kill the Wolf Tribe officer.
In the White Bone Camp, there was far more than one such powerful high priest.
At the same time the high priest in front of Meng Chao instantly killed the Wolf Tribe officer.
In the other directions of the forest battlefield, the high-ranking officers and high priests of the Great Horn Army also attacked. With fierceness that surpassed their opponents' imagination, they ambushed the commanders of the Wolf Tribe reinforcements and completely paralyzed the organizational structure of the Wolf Tribe reinforcements.
At this point, there was no longer any suspense about the outcome of the battle.
This was especially so when tens of thousands of rat people in ragged clothes charged over from the edge of the forest like a tidal wave. They held stone hammers and dung forks, but their eyes shone with a light that was even more zealous than that of the elites of the White Bone Camp. They drowned and devoured everything.
The reinforcements of the Wolf Tribe completely collapsed.
The proud warriors of the Wolf Tribe were, after all, made of flesh and blood.
When the belief that they were protected by their ancestors and that they were invincible was shattered and trampled into the mud, their survival instincts as carbon-based intelligent life forms surged in the depths of their brains.
Their innate survival instincts as carbon-based intelligent life forms surged in the depths of their brains and gradually overwhelmed the vague sense of honor.
"The Great Horn Rat God is real!"
"Otherwise, how could pure-blooded warriors like us have lost to a bunch of rats?"
"No, we didn't lose to these rats. We lost to a real ancestor's soul who has just woken up and is hungry!"
This thought was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Half an hour later, the battle ended.
The Great Horn Army obtained another glorious victory. They inconceivably destroyed the reinforcements of the Wolf Tribe who had come to reinforce Hundred Blade City.
When the last shrill wolf howl came to an abrupt end …
All those who were still alive, drenched in blood, riddled with holes, covered in cuts and bruises, had their guts torn out, were badly battered, were exhausted, and were on their deathbed, all wept tears of joy. They roared at the sky.
And when they saw the anomaly in the sky, the joy of victory turned into the firmest and deepest belief.
"Look!"
No one knew who was the first to point at the clouds in the sky.
It was dusk.
The blood-like setting sun dyed the clouds into a sea of red.
The wind blew and the clouds moved in the red sea, as if waves were crashing against the shore. Countless clouds piled up and formed a huge, dignified, and holy deity statue.
The horn on its head shone like flames. It was covered in armor made of white bones, and there was a blood-stained war flag on its back. It stood tall and looked invincible. It was the ancestor's soul who had just woken up from ten thousand years of slumber — the Great Horn Rat God!
"The Rat God has appeared!"
"It really is the Great Horn Rat God! He has been protecting us from the sky all this while!"
All the rat people knelt down on the ground and worshiped the Great Horn Rat God in the clouds.
Only Meng Chao's attention was not on the clouds. Instead, he looked around and stared at the priests in the "antenna helmets" in the crowd with great interest.
In his eyes, the red clouds in the sky did not go through any strange changes, and neither did they gather together to form the Great Horn Rat God.
Instead, the high-grade priests released powerful spirit energy magnetic waves endlessly from their helmets. They were like sizzling brain waves that crawled into the brains of the rat people around them.
They stirred up the rat people's brain waves and triggered a chain reaction that was like an avalanche. It created a phenomenon that was similar to group hysteria, and everyone saw the same illusion.
Of course, Meng Chao did not underestimate the high-ranking priests just because they were trying to act mysterious.
It was not easy to make tens of thousands of rat people see the same illusion at the same time and gather their wills together.
Even though the illusion was fake …
But the fighting strength it brought was real.
Even though Meng Chao had personally experienced an ambush where only the courageous would win, the puzzlement in his heart did not lessen. Instead, it increased.
At first, he had thought that the Great Horn Army was merely a motley crew assembled by the rat people when they had no other choice but to be deceived and used. They could not be considered a real army at all, and their combat ability was rather questionable.
But by the looks of it now, the core of the Great Horn Army — the White Bone Camp — was a powerful army that stood above the human armies in many aspects. In fact, they had battlefield communication abilities that surpassed Dragon City's standards.
And the high-grade officers and high-grade priests hidden behind the Great Horn Helmets and mysterious masks were not as simple as normal rat people.
They weren't as simple as ordinary rats either. They were more like professional warriors who had finished their harsh training the moment they were born.
This was a real army.
But there was a problem.
Even if this army was not enough to take down Pure Gold City …
In the history of his previous life, how did it instantly crumble and disappear?
