Chapter 120: Ant Tide
"I have come to teach you the rites of godliness at the behest of the god of runes, and you must practice carefully, worship the gods with all your heart, follow the rules set by the gods, and pass the trials of the gods before you can be allowed to use your divine powers. The white wolf stood on a wide high platform, facing a group of goblins, and spoke in obscure grammar.
This can actually be regarded as the opening ceremony of the school, and the reason why the white wolf behaves like a god is because he has managed to fool so many goblins here, and now of course he has to continue to fool around.
At the opening ceremony, White Wolf told the goblins about the history of a made-up rune sect, which came from the online novels that White Wolf had read, and mixed in some Cthulhu elements, which was a completely fictional religious story.
“.... All in all, those ancient gods are the original rulers of this world, they met that there will be a big disaster in this world in the future, so they have left this world and hid in their dark shelter, and our kind rune god has made a completely different choice from them, he wants to change his life against the sky, so he founded this rune sect, he wants to spread his gospel to the whole world, so as to avoid the end of the world being destroyed. The white wolf told the story of his conjugation without blushing and his heart beating, and he could guarantee that not a single word in the paragraph he said was true.
These goblins didn't try their best to survive the era of the information explosion, and their brains were not good, and when the white wolf said this, there were really a few goblins who believed it and asked the white wolf about the news of the end of the world with fear.
"Ah, this.... When and how the end of the world will occur is uncertain, but it is certain that it will happen. The white wolf said casually.
Looking at the frightened expressions of those goblins, the white wolf finally understood a question that he had not been able to figure out before, that is, why some religions always like to advocate the end of the world? Now he understands that the end of the world will bring people a sense of panic, and people in panic often want to find a spiritual pillar, and this spiritual pillar is religion, this kind of trick like a scam phone call makes the white wolf feel very disdainful.
In order to get people to take the bait, there are similarities between the two methods, for example, the scam call will say: "Your bank account has been monitored, please pay a fine immediately, or your bank account will be frozen." Religious stories say, "There is only one god in this world, and if you don't believe in Him, you will go to hell after death." Something like that.
Although both methods are equally despicable, but we have to admit their effectiveness, I don't know how many people have fallen for phone scams because of a moment of panic, and the white wolf is using the same method to develop pious believers in the goblins at this time.
When the number of devout believers has grown to a certain number, the White Wolf will develop these people into clerics, teach them the rituals of using runic devices, and serve as an example to encourage the goblins who come after them.
The individual strength of the goblins is really not very good, whether they are talented or not, whether they are intelligent or not, and they can't learn rune knowledge at all, that is, they are stronger than ordinary humans in terms of physical fitness, so the only requirement for them is loyalty, and whether they are ideologically qualified is also the only criterion for the white wolf to screen priests.
This screening method is also only for goblins, if facing other intelligent races, the white wolf will definitely take talent as a criterion, and if there is enough intelligence, then he can also become his collaborator.
While the white wolf was spitting at the mouth, the fox bird suddenly ran into the venue, causing a commotion among the goblins present, who had never seen a fox before, so they also regarded it as the same mythical beast as the white wolf.
"What's going on?" Seeing the fox's anxious look, the white wolf had to stop speaking, in fact, he had already reached the second half of his speech, and it was completely possible to finish at this time.
"There are a lot of giant ants in the expanding territory, they have attacked the mines, and now your sister is fighting them, stopping them from advancing further, but I don't know how long it will last. Although the fox was anxious, he also knew that this was not the time to panic, and he whispered these words close to the white wolf's ear.
"Everyone, this is the end of the school ceremony, you must be curious about what he told me, I can tell you right now that our territory has been attacked by a pack of giant ants!" Under the fox's incredulous expression, the white wolf directly told the goblins the truth.
This news was like a boulder, instantly stirring up a thousand waves in the goblin group, as the inhabitants of the underground world, they know too well what giant ants mean, they are a moving natural disaster, as long as they appear, it means the death of a large number of goblins.
The sharp teeth of the giant ants can easily cut the goblin in half, and the shell on their body is also very hard, ordinary goblins have no power to fight back against these heavily armed guys, and can only be slaughtered, only goblins with strong blood and strength can fight with them, but the results of the battle are often not satisfactory.
Since they can't break through the armor, all these goblins can do is use brute force to tear the giant ants apart, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the killing effect is very low, and the final result is often that the goblins are surrounded by giant ants and finally die of exhaustion.
The goblins are no match for these giant ants, and all they can do in the face of such a natural disaster is to keep running away and hiding, praying that they can escape from those sharp blades.
The reason why goblins have not been exterminated is because such giant ants are infested for an extremely short time, and often after a day or so of killing, these giant ants will definitely retreat, but the goblins still don't know what the reason for their retreat is, and no goblin has the courage and wisdom to investigate this reason, so everything about giant ants has always been a mystery, and the reason for their retreat is also attributed by the goblins to the gods.
"Please rest assured, with the blessing of the God of Runes, these giant ants are not to be feared, you can hide here, or you can come with me to see how we can destroy this scourge. When the white wolf saw the restless goblins, he immediately waved his hand, and several priests walked in through the door.
They raised their arms, and the wind elemental self-activating rune carved on their sleeves immediately activated, and an invisible air flow passed through their palms, pressing the goblins who wanted to stand up and flee back to their seats.
"I'll ask again, is anyone willing to go with me?" the white wolf asked again, but there was no goblin response at all, these goblins from other goblin kingdoms had not seen the power of the white wolf, so they didn't believe his words at all, and no one wanted to go with him, for them, the shock brought to them by the white wolf's magical equipment had passed, and at this moment, it was completely impossible for them to overcome the fear from the giant ant disaster.
"You arrange for them to leave the field in an orderly manner, don't leave the school, I will leave now to solve the problem over there. The white wolf gave an order to the priest over there.
"Yes!" The priests responded in unison, their mood was also very complicated at this time, as a goblin, they had also heard the legend about giant ants since they were children, and they were naturally full of fear of giant ants, but the white wolf has great strength and wisdom, and can lead them to turn the corner every time, and the trust in the strength of the white wolf has been able to free them from unwarranted fear, and they were also a little frightened when they first heard the news, but they quickly regained their composure and acted according to the instructions of the white wolf.
A few kilometers away from the white wolf, the battle situation is close to white-hot, the corpses of giant ants have been piled up all over the ground, and the green blood has merged into a small river, emitting a pungent smell, but a steady stream of ants is still pouring out of the cracks, like a black torrent.
The black wolf was not afraid of the giant ants in front of him, because although the sharp teeth of these ants looked terrifying, they could not actually break the black wolf's defenses, and her body, which was stronger than diamond, was a hard bone that the giant ants could not bite.
However, the black wolf was still a little anxious in her heart, her physical strength was slowly exhausting, and the seal was gradually strengthening, she knew that if she continued to kill like this, she would only be greeted by the same encounter as last time, that is, her strength was exhausted, and she couldn't move, at this time she just hoped that her brother could hurry over, he had done so many crisis filings, and he didn't know if he had taken such a thing into account.
In response to the attack of giant ants, the white wolf did have a record, but it used a general record, and there were many natural disasters in the underground world, and the white wolf could not deal with them one by one, which would only increase the trouble.
In the face of this biological disaster, there is only one way to deal with it, and that is to increase the output of firepower and use fire and thunderstorms to teach them how to behave!
It only took a few minutes for the white wolf to rush from the school to the vicinity of the mining area, along the way he met many escaped goblins, none of them were priests, so they didn't have the courage to face the ant tide in front of them, and they immediately fell short after seeing those dense black things, taking advantage of the time when the black wolf was blocking over there, they quickly escaped, and the white wolf didn't blame them for anything, after all, they were not priests, and they were emergencies, and the requirements for them were not so high.
Even if they are priests, the white wolf will not encourage them to fight hard, and dying for nothing is never something the white wolf wants to see.
