Chapter 499: The Choice of Fall
Strange to say, it was just a simple and even somewhat disgusting ritual, but these captives, smeared with the blood of the former priests and chieftains, really gave birth to their own feeling of "being reborn and reborn".
Looking at their fellow people who are still in the cage, they are both happy and contemptuous, and their weak sympathy and pity are quickly diluted by the joy of the rest of their lives.
They followed behind their new masters, clumsily and diligently learning the slogan "Great, Fangs Kingdom" and Chu Ge's appearance, squeezing out a face full of flattery and piety.
There were even a few clever captives who circled around Chu Ge, as if they guessed that Chu Ge would become the new favorite of the cat cavalry.
Among them, the female ferocious rat squeezed towards Chu Ge like a flattering person, and kept sniffing behind Chu Ge's buttocks.
Chu Ge looked at the female ferocious rat's body that was several times stronger than his own.
He looked down at his own insignificant matter.
He righteously rejected the beauty scheme of these female ferocious rats.
What are you kidding, he is a serious person, no, he is a serious rat, he pretended to surrender in order to spy on intelligence, and these fierce rats who live secretly are completely different!
Fortunately, the cat cavalry also looked at him differently, and could not bear to see him defiled by the female ferocious rat, but ordered several spearmen to disperse the female ferocious rat.
Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly thought of something, and looked at the crotch of the cat cavalry with some concern.
Fortunately, the cat cavalry was a male white mouse, so Chu Ge did not have to face the ethical and moral torture that was more tangled than death.
Having said that, except for humans, the spirits of all things, the vast majority of beasts have a fixed period of youth, only once or twice a year, so during the infiltration and reconnaissance period of just a few days or at most a week or two, Chu Ge should not have to face the choice of human nature degradation, moral annihilation, and collapse of the three views.
It's just that the rat demon who has awakened wisdom will still be limited by the green period?
Suppose that the ruler of the Ivory Kingdom is a female mouse, and the queen of the rat clan has taken a fancy to Chu Ge's handsomeness, manly charm and unfathomable wisdom - this is simply a certainty, if he has to be recruited as a guest of the curtain, how should Chu Ge choose?
Should he sacrifice his innocent body for the safety of Lingshan City, for the sake of three million citizens and seven billion compatriots, in order to save the ace soul shifter Bai Ye, in order to find out the source of the monsters, the scale of the spirit tide, and all kinds of precious information?
For a while, Chu Ge fell into a tangle that could not be described with pen and ink, and suddenly felt that he might as well disconnect and run away earlier!
The cat cavalry didn't know that Chu Ge's little head had so many twists and turns.
He ordered the spearmen to fed the newly surrendered captives with strips and pieces of meat from the loot they had just obtained.
Prisoners who were more verbal or stronger were given larger chunks of fresh food.
Prisoners who are weak in speech, or who have performed poorly in the passage of spears just now, are full of ugliness and can only get small pieces of spoiled food.
In this way, the captives were used to distinguish the ranks of the captives, and to stimulate the captives to work hard to learn the language of the Long Fang Kingdom and serve the Long Fang Kingdom.
The captives thought that they would definitely die, but they didn't expect that just swearing allegiance to the battle banner of the Long Fang Kingdom would have such benefits, but they didn't care about picking and choosing, and they happily threw themselves at the meat strips and pieces of meat at the moment, completely forgetting that these things were originally the hard work of their entire tribe.
In the intensive training, Chu Ge also learned to eat flesh and blood raw, and even eat those spoiled foods - compared to the question of whether to make peace with the queen of the rat clan, eating flesh and blood raw is really not a big deal.
But the cat cavalry beckoned him to come over and "dine" with him.
What they ate was not booty, but a kind of yellow, fragrant food that the cat cavalry carried with them.
Looking at the mysterious and proud appearance of the cat cavalry, it should be a rare delicacy in the Fangs Kingdom.
Chu Ge glanced at the food compressed into the shape of small bones, but found that it was dog food for pet dogs.
Dog food is dog food, at least better than spoiled lizard jerky or honey badger's intestines.
Chu Ge was grateful, and got together with the cat cavalry.
I really didn't expect that I would have a day with a mouse riding a cat and eat dog food in the underground world, and the world of aura recovery is really full of unpredictable wonders.
Full of wine and food, the rat army of the Tooth Kingdom has also rested and is ready to start.
The purpose of their trip was only to loot supplies and people, the "rat mouth", and they did not intend to occupy it permanently.
As the sharp whistle sounded again, the spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, firecrackers, and the pro-guards carrying the battle flag left the team one by one and regrouped into a neat phalanx.
The captives also spontaneously and automatically assembled into a team.
After some concocting just now, they have become loyal to their new masters, and have completely separated themselves from the old tribe, even if they are unguarded, they will not rise up to resist or run away in private.
The conquistadors did not mean to exterminate all the ferocious rats.
They pulled out the spears around the cage and brandished their spears to signal the remaining captives that you are free, and this is still your territory.
The rest of the captives were stunned for a long time, and suddenly screamed one after another.
They wept and shouted at the army of the Long Fang Kingdom, or more precisely, towards the spoils of war that they had worked so hard to accumulate but were shamelessly plundered.
The conquerors swung their spears and poked wildly.
After poking the first rat into a string of sugar gourds and holding it in the air, the rest of the rats did not dare to come hard, but they pitifully followed the conqueror, wagging their tails and begging for mercy, begging the conqueror to leave some supplies, or make them vassals or even slaves, just like the people who passed through the spear passage just now.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Chu Ge sighed in his heart.
In the early days of human civilization, plundering each other's populations in the mutual raiding and conquest of powerful countries has always been a very important part of strategy.
However, the focus of the plundering of the population is obviously the labor force and combat power of the other side, that is, young men and women.
As for the old, weak, sick and disabled, they are all burdens, and no one wants them at all.
After the screening just now, all the strong, bold, intelligent, and easily tame captives in the rat tribe were all separated, and they underwent a certain degree of "brainwashing".
The remaining captives were either too timid, or missing arms and legs, or too old or too small, or still deeply remembered the hatred of the destruction of the Horde.
The Kingdom of Long Fangs, how is it possible to take in these burdens and "time bombs"?
Sure enough, the cat cavalry changed their kindness and generosity towards the first group of captives, but they were ruthless, allowing the spearmen to whip the second group of captives so hard that they were bleeding.
There were also firecrackers and sentries, who kept screaming and even threw firecrackers into the second group of captives, intimidating and dispersing them.
What's more, those captives who had just surrendered to the Long Fang Kingdom treated their fellow clans half a day ago more ruthlessly than the conquerors.
They had no weapons, so they put on the most vicious appearance, and warned their former people with their teeth and claws: "Don't come, or I will kill you!" ”
A few of the rats didn't believe that their kind would treat them so cruelly, and they still pounced on them with snot and tears.
The captives who had just surrendered were really merciless, biting down on the throats of their fellow clansmen.
"Squeak squeak!"
The same clan was bitten and squeaked, and their hands and feet twitched, and they soon died silent.
The remaining second group of captives did not dare to step forward, but stared at the first batch of captives with grief and fear.
The first captives were not ashamed, but proud, and carried the corpses of their fellow clansmen to ask for merit from their new masters.
I really don't know if this kind of "convert's fanaticism" is the instinct of the beast, or the side effect of awakening wisdom.
In this way, how could the second group of captives, who were old, weak, sick and disabled, resist the wolf-like drive of the conqueror and the first captive?
In a moment, they were all knocked to the ground, and their spears poked into their bodies in shocking holes of blood, or their tendons broken.
There were only 100 teeth left of the mouse, and they didn't understand the meaning of everything in front of them, but they burrowed into the arms of their mother, who was bruised and dying, enjoying the temporary warmth brought by the blood.
They still did not know what darkness and harshness awaited them ahead.
Chu Ge didn't know how to compare, the Rat Tribe and the Fang Kingdom, which was more ferocious.
On the surface, the fierce rat tribe drinks blood and has a tradition of blood sacrifice, and it is hideous and vicious just by looking at the appearance.
The Long Fang Kingdom only plundered supplies and population, and did not carry out massacres, but allowed the defeated to fend for themselves.
But Chu Ge knew very well that after losing all the combat power of young adults and precious materials, the Fierce Rat Tribe was left with these old, weak, sick and disabled people covered in bruises, and they couldn't hold on at all.
- The world of darkness is not only the world of rats.
Let's just say that the ghost cat they first encountered in the supermarket is not something that these ferocious rat tribes can deal with.
They are destined to fall victim to darkness, to fall from the throne at the top of the food chain, from hunter to prey.
Even if there are new priests and red-haired rats among them, they will flourish again in the near future, and they will not be able to escape the fate of being harvested by the Fangs Kingdom again.
Isn't this a more cruel and lengthy torture than a blood sacrifice.
No way, this is civilization.
Many times, "civilization" is synonymous with "barbarism".
Chu Ge had mixed feelings, followed the cat cavalry, and together with the army of the conquerors, embarked on the road of the second triumph.
