Chapter 1306: Time to Rise
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Such an impa.s.sioned promise, coupled with the other party’s t.i.tle of “Doomsday Wolf” in the near future, unwittingly made Meng Chao sneer.
“Then, when will the time be ripe?” Meng Chao asked.
“Very soon, when we can obtain decisive results in the Battle of Glory. That will be the moment when the rat people will truly rise!”
The Wolf King earnestly said, “Don’t think that I’m stalling for time and making excuses. The Great Horn Rebellion is just the prelude. Indeed, it hasn’t reached the time when the millions of rat people can shout the loudest battle cry at the same time. The scattered rat population hasn’t fully gathered yet. Countless rat people are still habitually enslaved by their ‘master.’ The five clans are still deeply rooted and powerful. The order that they have ruled over the world has lasted for thousands of years. It will not be completely shattered overnight.
“Right now, it’s like the darkest moment before dawn.
“Even if I reveal my ident.i.ty as a rat clan and devote all my strength and resources in such a dark moment to add fuel to the fire of the great horn rebellion, what’s the point?
“Although the Great Horn Army is advancing at full speed in the territory of the Gold clan, it’s the result of the Lion clan and the Tiger clan fighting openly and secretly. They also want to take the opportunity to weaken the Wolf clan, which is why they’re deliberately indulging themselves.
“If the Lion clan and the Tiger clan became serious, as long as they sent out one or two heavy armored legions, it would be enough to completely crush the Great Horn Army.
“Moreover, if the ‘Great Horn Riot’continued, it would only seriously weaken tu Lanze’s strength. As a result, Tu Lanze’s vitality would be greatly damaged before the Battle of Honor even began, and the fellows of the Holy Light Temple would benefit for nothing.
“I don’t know how much you know about the rulers of the land of Holy Light.
“But I can a.s.sure you that if the Holy Light Temple governs Tu Lanze, the fate of the rat population will not be better than it is now. It will only be a hundred times worse!”
Meng Chao nodded.
It was true.
Under the illumination of the Holy Light, the entire TU Lanze and Dragon City were burnt into ashes.
If they had lost their lives, how could they talk about ‘Fate’?
“However, the darkness before the dawn was destined to not last long!”
The wolf king said confidently, “As long as I can obtain the inheritance of the sacred mountain, become the chief of the war, and command the five clans, I will be able to think of ways to change the fate of the rat people.
“Of course, I can not force the chiefs, priests, and commanders of the five clans to improve the living conditions of the rat people.
“But I can certainly reorganize the Tulan army with the excuse of ‘War Needs’. I can organize a large number of rat people warriors into independent battle teams, gangs, and legions. I can give them additional weapons, provisions, and technology, and send them to perform tasks that are more important than cannon fodder.
“Yes. The rat people warriors will still die.
“But they will never die in vain like the countless battles of glory in the past ten thousand years.
“They will grow rapidly in mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They will develop adept combat skills and deep friendship with their fellow rats, and they will have more opportunities to show their talents and shine.
“I will also secretly let the veteran soldiers of the former Great Horn Army infiltrate the newly-established rat army and continue to spread the voice of the ‘Great Horn Rat G.o.d’in secret.
“At this time, the main forces of the five clans and the main forces of the holy light camp must have been killing each other, killing countless experts one after another.
“In order to win, both sides will do everything they can.
“The Elven a.s.sa.s.sins, Dwarven gunmen, night watchers, and sorcerers of the Holy Light Camp, the ascetics, and the priests of the Holy Light, will certainly be the chief, priests, and leaders of the five clans.
“The warriors of the clans will not keep their eyes on the tiny rat subjects.
“I believe that there will be a lot of opportunities for the rat subjects to expand, grow, and connect.
“If I am lucky enough, the Tulan Army will be able to achieve a few glorious victories at the beginning of the war. I believe that my prestige will be raised to the highest level.
“At that time, I’ll think of a way to make the cannon fodder troops of the rat population perform a few meritorious deeds. I’ll take the opportunity to strengthen the combat ability of the cannon fodder troops, promote the ident.i.ty of the rat population commander, and replenish more resources for the war. Is it really a big problem?
“In the end, when the main force of the Holy Light Camp and the main force of the orcs made up of the five major clans of Tulan suffer heavy losses, at the very least, the order of the rule of both sides will be broken and shaky. The ability of both sides to suppress each other internally will be weakened to the limit… Don’t you think that’s the best time for the rat population to truly rise?”
After this long speech, even though Meng Chao knew that there were many demagogues and that it was hard to tell the truth from the falsehood, he couldn’t help but nod his head slightly.
Logically speaking, he had to admit that Wolf King was right.
A war that affected the entire world, severely depleted the power of the ruling cla.s.s, and destroyed the old order was indeed the best place to start an uprising and change.
The First World War that happened on Earth was the best example.
Although that war was a dog-eat-dog battle between the ruling cla.s.s, there was no justice at all.
However, in the incomparably cruel war, countless young people who were originally scattered all over the world and had been oppressed and ravaged by the rulers, but had nowhere to seek redress and were unable to resist, were forced to gather together and join the ruler’s army, living Together Day and night, they cultivated combat skills and friendship, learned to control powerful killing tools one after another, and under the stimulation of death, they developed a ruthless and bold temperament.
In the end, the uprising of the soldiers at the bottom not only created the largest, strongest, and shining brand-new country on earth at that time.
In the other partic.i.p.ating countries, it also triggered a chain reaction of changes.
It caused the world to change from the “Old order”to the “New Order”.
Of course, if Meng Chao believed that the Wolf King would spare no effort to promote the rise of the rat people after he took over the highest power because of his rhetoric, then his previous life would have been in vain.
“Jackal”Ka.n.u.s was an ambitious and ambitious man.
The only idea worth fighting for his whole life was to trample the entire world under his feet.
It was not about the “Freedom, equality, dignity and glory of millions of rat people.”.
Whether it was the rat people, the Wolf clan, or the future people of Dragon City, in the eyes of this “Doomsday Demon Wolf,”they were nothing more than chess pieces, chips, and tools.
Speaking of which, Meng Chao believed that once the Wolf King took over, he would indeed raise the status and power of the rat people to a certain extent.
The reason was very simple, because the rat people were his foundation, the only power that he could use without worry.
Being a rat clan was, after all, his most fatal weakness that he could not change.
At the moment, no one doubted his origin, because he had always been hiding in the shadows of the Lion King and Tiger King, appearing as a puppet.
Who would be interested in knowing the ins and outs of a mere puppet?
However, once he obtained the inheritance of the sacred mountain, killed the Lion King and Tiger King, and returned to Crimson Gold City, he would be able to shock the five great clans.
At that time, he would definitely stand under the incomparably dazzling spotlight and receive countless doubtful gazes.
Who could guarantee that he would not even reveal a single flaw?
With this thought in mind, Meng Chao somewhat understood the reason why the “Jackal”ka.n.u.s from his previous life could not wait to start a war with the land of Holy Light.
Apart from the fact that Turanze didn’t have enough strategic resources, he had no choice but to attack.
The Wolf King’s foundation was too shallow, and he had a fatal weakness, which was also a very important factor.
He needed victory more than anyone else, and he needed to win one victory after another to consolidate his position and cover up his weakness.
However, with the character of the Doomsday Wolf, it was obviously impossible for him to sit still and wait for death. He placed all his hopes on the fact that he wouldn’t be seen through, or perhaps, after he was seen through, he would be able to continue commanding the army due to his outstanding battle achievements. At the very least, he would be able to keep his life.
He would definitely prepare for the worst.
At that time, everyone from the five great clans would betray him.
Only the rat people wouldn’t.
Not only would they not, but they would also be inspired by his unprecedented experience.
Not to mention the fact that he’s a member of the Rat Pack.
The small Wolf Clan, wants to occupy the highest power throne, is a very difficult matter.
Even if he really can get the Holy Mountain inheritance, stepping on the lion and Tiger King’s remains, temporarily intimidate all the strong five clans.
But it’s one thing to be a war priest, it’s another to be convinced by him, to be driven by him willingly, even to die for him.
Meng Chao believed that what “Jackal”ka.n.u.s wanted to be was definitely not an empty t.i.tle of a war priest, but an empty t.i.tle given to him by the tribal chiefs and commanders below him.
It was the most powerful and prestigious position in the history of Turan ZE. A light cough could make all the tribal chiefs, priests, and commanders tremble. With just a casual glance.., he was the one who could make the most basic ORC soldiers’blood boil, and they would go through fire and water for him… the “Eternal King Turanze”!
In this case, a core force that was independent of the old forces of the five major clans and absolutely loyal to him was extremely important.
It wasn’t enough to rely on the battle groups of the Wolf Clan.
Combat ability was one aspect.
More importantly, the Wolf clan was also a part of the “Old forces and the old order”in a certain sense.
The rat tribe wasn’t qualified to become such a core force.
In other words, under the traditional military technology and war mode, the battle strength that the rat tribe could give out wasn’t enough to make up for the price that the “Jackal”ka.n.u.s had to pay in order to raise the status of the rat tribe.
Raising the status of the new forces would definitely attract the counterattack of the old forces.
High-level orcs weren’t stupid.
If the rat people were really that useful, then they could fight and could be used as a foundation.
800 years ago, someone had thought of recruiting the rat people, giving them more freedom and dignity, and letting the rat people help them rise to power.
However —
An army of the rat people wielding swords and spears was indeed not enough to accomplish anything.
What if it was an army of the rat people with an automatic rifle in each person’s hand, seven or eight grenades on each person’s shoulder, and three or five people working together to equip a rocket launcher?
