Meng Chao was similarly shocked.
In one breath, he had allowed so many civilians, who had not undergone professional training, to perform a short-distance jump on the planet’s surface without causing too serious of a side effect.
Other than a small number of relatively weak rat civilians who knelt on the ground and felt faint nausea, most of them were able to stand up shakily after taking more than ten deep breaths.
It was like Dragon City’s transmigration device, but it was something that could not be done at the time.
However, Meng Chao noticed that both ends of the transmigration system seemed to be fixed to the ground.
A huge disc made of granite was deeply embedded in the ground. The surface was engraved with mysterious and complicated cuneiform characters, which could not be excavated at all and moved with the large group.
In other words, the two transmigration arrays had only built a point-to-point transmission line from Black-corner City to dozens of miles outside the city.
It was unlike the transmission device of Dragon City, which could be disassembled and assembled at will, transported by armored airships, and sent elite soldiers to any place.
From the perspective of flexibility and portability, the transmission technology of Dragon City also had its own advantages.
If the two kinds of transmigration technology could be combined and they could take advantage of each other…
“In my previous life, the Dragon City civilization did not develop any decent transmigration technology at all because the most important experts in transmigration were all targeted by abnormal beasts.”
Meng Chao thought to himself, “When the advanced orcs were fighting in the Other World, they did not seem to have used the transmigration technology on a large scale to place the heavy troops behind the strategic depth of the Holy Light faction.
“It seems that, like the super technology left by most of the ancient Turan, the advanced orcs now know nothing about black technology, such as transmigration arrays.
“They only treated it as the ‘blessing of the ancestors,’ but they never thought about how to research, improve, and apply it in real battles on a large scale.
“If Dragon City and the Turan civilization in this world could cooperate, research earlier and master each other’s transmigration technology, it would definitely change the strategic situation of the war in the Other World greatly. It would even be a trump card that could decide the outcome of the war!”
Meng Chao took note of the matter in his mind.
Then, he cast his eyes further away and observed the guys who were waiting for them in secret.
In the dense forest beside the ancient transmigration array, there were already over a hundred tents.
Close to a thousand rat soldiers with vigorous expressions were waiting for the fugitives from Black-corner City.
These soldiers were mixed with a large number of characteristics from different clans, all of them were pure hybrids.
This was the most distinct symbol of the rat people.
However, they were different from the ordinary rat people who had been enslaved and exploited all year round, and their bones seeped out of their lowly and unconfident bones.
These rat people warriors held their heads high and puffed out their chests. Their muscles were full, their eyes were bright, and they were full of energy.
The confidence that they would be able to defeat all their enemies under the protection of their ancestors was almost expressed in words.
Compared with the rat people who had escaped Black-corner City, they were like two completely different races.
“This is a strong well-trained army.”
Meng Chao thought, “Even if they are far from reaching the level of totem warriors, even if they really encounter totem warriors, they will not be defeated at the first touch. They will definitely fight until the last soldier.”
Other than that, Meng Chao noticed that on the breastplates of these elite rat people warriors, as well as on the war flags that were planted all around the tent, there was a skull shaped like a rat’s head.
On the skull, there were more than a dozen large horns growing.
On the large horns, blood dripped down.
Around the skull, there was a circle of demonic flames.
Those elite rat soldiers that were particularly strong and looked extremely valiant, and looked like military officers, were also wearing masks that looked like rat skulls.
They looked fierce and mysterious.
These elite rat soldiers, who wore the Great Horn battle emblem and came from unknown sources, had already received hundreds of groups of rat people that had escaped from the transmigration array. They were very familiar with it.
They swarmed up and helped the frightened rat people down from the transmigration array so that they would not block the next group of escapees.
In the dense forest, dozens of large pots had been set up, bubbling and boiling the thick and fragrant mandala fruit puree and paste.
The fire was very small, and with the winding smoke pipes, the smoke was directly discharged into the ground and released through hundreds of beehive-like holes. From dozens of miles away, there was absolutely no sign of smoke rising.
Just based on this meticulous thought, Meng Chao felt that it was not something an ordinary orc battle group could do.
In addition, there were many female soldiers who checked the wounds of the fugitives, bandaged them, and comforted them with soft words, so that the fugitives could accept the fact that they had been saved in the shortest time possible.
The fugitives who thought that they were doomed in Black-corner City had never enjoyed such thoughtful treatment.
They were overwhelmed by the favor, and in an instant, they were filled with endless trust and goodwill toward the ferocious-looking Rat God skeleton emblem on the battle flag.
However, Meng Chao noticed that during the process of welcoming the fugitives, these elite rat soldiers, by distributing food and checking their injuries, were able to silently distinguish the stronger and more valiant fugitives.., they had been able to distinguish them from the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children.
Meng Chao and Ice Storm looked at each other.
The two of them were getting more and more curious about this mysterious as well as highly efficient team.
“Fellow compatriots of the Great Horn Clan, Congratulations. Under the Big-horned Rat God’s protection, you have finally escaped your fate of being enslaved, bullied, and killed!”
When the fugitives gradually calmed down, an officer wearing a rat-skeleton mask and an extraordinarily gorgeous armor stood on a big green stone in the middle of the forest and announced loudly, “In the past three to five months, you have interacted with many of us. In the bloody battle that has turned the entire Black-corner City upside down, you have fought side by side with us, soaked in blood, melding your flesh and bones together!
“However, to be on the safe side, we still cannot tell you our real names and origins.
“At this moment, the man-eating demon cave in Black-corner City has been left far behind. Our so-called lowly bloodline has been purified by everyone’s courage to fight to the end. What awaits you will be an incomparably bright future and an incomparably glorious journey. We can finally say our names openly, the name we’re most proud of in the entire Picturesque Orchid Lake.
“We are from the Great Horn Army, and we are all soldiers of the Big-horned Rat God!”
As he spoke, the officer removed the rat skull mask on his face.
A face that was full of scars but was full of heroic spirit was revealed.
The words “Great Horn Army” seemed to be a spell that contained endless totem power. All the rat soldiers around him, whose backs were already as straight as spears, were raised by another two to three inches.
The burning spirit energy had a great influence, which left a deep impression on all the fugitives.
Meng Chao’s heart skipped a beat.
He knew that the elite rat soldiers standing in front of him were the ones who had stirred up the Great Horn Rebellion in his previous life, the ones who had broken the rule in Picturesque Orchid Lake for thousands of years. They had created history but indirectly destroyed the future.
“The Great Horn Army has received the protection of the Big-horned Rat God and has been bestowed with infinite courage and strength. We are determined to fight for the millions of rat people in Picturesque Orchid Lake!”
The officer of the Great Horn Army firmly said, “For thousands of years, the rat people have suffered too much injustice, suffered too much enslavement, and shed too much blood. The blood that was enough to drown the entire Picturesque Orchid Lake has finally turned into raging flames and awakened the Big-horned Rat God from his several thousand years of slumber!
“From the day he woke up, the heroic spirit of the Rat God had been wandering in the sky above Picturesque Orchid Lake. He observed and selected the rat population that was full of blood, unruly, and qualified to receive supreme divine power. He also helped them awaken their power and realize their mission.
“Slowly, hundreds, thousands, and thousands of rat population that had awakened gathered under the flag of the Rat God!
“Look at the flag. It is the flag that has accumulated all the humiliation and hatred of billions of rat subjects in the past thousands of years!
“The skeleton that is full of cracks represents the enslavement and oppression that we have suffered.
“The horn that is full of tusks represents the will that we will never surrender to.
“The blood dripping from the horn has turned into a fire that engulfs everything. It represents our determination to purify the entire world.
“This is the Great Horn Army, an army that has gathered millions of iron-blooded warriors who are not afraid of death. There are ten times more warriors who are gathering. They will definitely overturn the power in Picturesque Orchid Lake!”
“Ah…”
Such bold words made the blood of all the fugitives boil.
What had happened in the past day and night had filled up their brain cells completely.
Their brains, which were used to being tamed and not having many opinions, had almost lost the ability to think. They were immersed in the glorious, intense, and beautiful picture that the Great Horn Army officer had described.
“Perhaps, you still have some doubts about the Big-horned Rat God’s power. You don’t believe that we can gather millions of brave warriors who are not afraid of death in the gaps between the five great clans.”
The Great Horn officer’s eyes were bright. Through a simple word game, he tied the doubts about the Great Horn Army and the doubts about the Rat God together.
He pointed at the burning Black-corner City on the horizon and suddenly raised his voice. “However, just yesterday, who would have believed that the lowly rat people like us could overturn the entire Black-corner City and mess up the high and mighty Blood Hoof warriors?
“Who would have believed that hundreds of thousands of rat subjects could devour the Blood Hoof warriors and chop them into pieces?
“Who would have believed that we could escape Black-corner City and regain our freedom and the ability to control our destiny?
“Who would have believed that such an unbelievable miracle would really happen?”
