“Reaper, you... how can you talk to me in such a way? Where are you hiding?”

Leaf was so anxious that he was about to cry. “Do you know how many things happened last night? Everyone was in a mess. Even the Saintess seems to be dead...” he said in his heart.

“What are you talking about? What do you mean by ‘where am I hiding?’ I am clearly planning a strategy and trying to turn the tide!”

Meng Chao quickly said, “Also, who told you that the Ancient Dream Saintess is dead? I obviously saved her, and now, she is in high spirits and full of vigor. She can even kill a battle group level powerhouse with one punch!”

“What?”

Leaf was so excited that he wanted to jump up again.

He stuffed all ten of his fingers into his mouth and bit them hard. Stimulated by the excruciating pain, he finally?managed to calm down his excited heart.

“Is this true, Reaper? You... You really saved the Ancient Dream Saintess?”

“Of course. Otherwise, how do you think my voice could appear in your head out of nowhere?”

“Then... then we must immediately tell the two generals, Red Bear and Mountain Dog about this good news. Otherwise, they will start fighting!”

“Red Bear and Mountain Dog... They should be the two valiant generals with the most brilliant battle records and the craziest fights in the White Bone Battalion... I saw it. Your side is in a mess. What exactly is going on?”

Leaf calmed himself down.

He quickly organized his words and used the shortest way to recount everything that had happened to him from last night to this morning.

“I... I’m still in a daze.

“Last night, I was sleeping soundly when I suddenly had an extremely terrifying nightmare. I dreamed that the majestic Big-horned Rat God had turned into a deformed, swollen, rotten, and foul corpse full of maggots.

“When I woke up, I found that I was surrounded by flames and screams. Many people had the same nightmare as me. They were triggered by something even more intense than me, and they all went crazy.

“I don’t know who released all the wolves that were kept next to the campsite. I don’t know what medicine they took, but they all turned into hungry, bloodthirsty beasts that would bite anyone they saw. They were extremely powerful. Even if they were stabbed with dozens of spears, they would tear the rat soldiers that they had bitten into pieces and swallow them into their stomachs before they were willing to die slowly.

“Just like that, the camp that I was in and the dozens of other camps in the surroundings were soon thrown into chaos. Order had completely collapsed.

“I followed a few seasoned soldiers and rolled around in the mud. I was lucky enough to escape from the gap between the chaotic soldiers and join General Red Bear’s team on the way. That was how I managed to keep my life.

“General Red Bear led us to retreat while we fought. He collected the scattered chaotic soldiers and saved many people. When he joined General Mountain Dog’s soldiers, he gathered about a thousand of the bravest and most fearless warriors in the White Bone Battalion. Only then did he manage to stabilize himself and survive until dawn.

“But earlier, General Mountain Dog seemed to have a brother named, Bobcat. He sneaked in from outside the forest and mumbled to General Mountain Dog for a long time. General Mountain Dog was convinced by him, hence he wanted to surrender with everyone.

“General Red Bear and many other brothers had a deep hatred for the five clans. They would rather die than surrender and let General Mountain Dog as well as the others leave—unless, they were willing to leave behind all the military rations, armor, weapons, and the Great Horn Army’s flags.

“The two sides are at a stalemate. They are confronting each other right here. The two generals have even summoned their totem armors. It seems that a bloody battle will break out at any moment!

“Reaper, I, what should we do?”

If the above information was transmitted by sound waves of different frequencies, it would take at least one to two minutes.

However, Leaf felt that the corresponding thoughts had just appeared in his mind when the Reaper replied, “I see.”

“I see. So, those within your line of sight consist of the entire White Bone Battalion... no, the entire Great Horn Army’s core elite force, right?”

Leaf was slightly dazed, and he nodded subconsciously.

“Yes, yes. Those who are not strong enough and have weak combat skills are either scared out of their minds by the swollen and rotting Rat God corpse in their nightmare, or just afraid to the point that they run out of the forest in batches to surrender to the wolf cavalry, or they’re killed by their crazy comrades and the wolves.

“The elites who didn’t go crazy, didn’t die from killing each other, and didn’t want to surrender are all gathered around General Red Bear and General Mountain Dog. However, if they can’t find a way out, most of them won’t be able to hold on either!”

“Understood. What about you, Leaf?”

Meng Chao asked through the air, “If you can survive, are you willing to surrender?”

This question stunned the rat youth for a long time.

He recalled the night when Half Mountain Village was burned to the ground by the recruitment team, and his mother and brother were both killed.

He remembered that time, his mind was blank. Facing the butcher’s knife of the clan warriors, as well as the tyrannical power that he could not resist, the first thought that came to his mind was not to seek revenge, but to survive.

Even if he had to bear the humiliation, even if he had to become the slave of his enemy, even if he had to suffer all kinds of torture and oppression, even if he could never avenge his mother and brother, even if he had to deceive himself and forget his hatred.

As long as... he could live on.

Since when did he slowly change?

Perhaps, it was when the Reaper taught him the way to survive and fight in the Blood Skull Arena’s underground dungeon.

Perhaps, it was when he endured the excruciating pain and allowed the magma-like spiritual energy to flow through his veins continuously while he felt his muscles bulging and his strength increasing continuously.

Perhaps, it was when the Reaper described to him that all the rat people could stand tall on the summit of the mountain illuminated by the sunlight and have an incomparably beautiful tomorrow.

Perhaps it was under the Ancient Dream Saintess’ leadership that they had conquered the city and obtained results that they would not even dare to dream of in the past. Even the high and mighty warriors from before were trembling in front of them.

General Mountain Dog was right.

The Great Horn Army was finished. They had no choice but to surrender.

It was the smartest, most rational, and most correct choice.

Judging from Leaf’s understanding of General Mountain Dog, he knew that General Mountain Dog was not doing this for himself but for the millions of rat people, including him.

However...

Why was he like General Red Bear? Why was he unwilling to abandon the sword that was almost as long as his bones when he knew that he was going to die?

“No...

“I-I don’t want to surrender. I don’t want to die!” Leaf said in a trembling voice.

“That’s good.”

Meng Chao heaved a sigh of relief and continued. “Then pay attention. Oh, you don’t have to pay attention. Just focus and listen carefully to what I’m going to say next. What I’m about to say is very important. Don’t misunderstand a single word because it concerns you, the Great Horn Army, the entire rat population, and even the fate of all Turan people!”

Leaf’s eyes widened.

He noticed that the Reaper’s face, which was both illusory and real, had become exceptionally serious.

The blood all over the rat teenager’s body was also surging into his head, making his brain exceptionally sharp and clear.

“Both the Ancient Dream Saintess and I need you. We need you to find the two generals, Red Bear and Mountain Dog right now. Tell them the good news that the Ancient Dream Saintess is still alive.

“No, this good news alone is far from enough to help the Great Horn Army get out of their predicament. You have to pass on the Ancient Dream Saintess’ order as well and point the two generals in the right direction. You need to break through the encirclement to the south and follow the route that the Great Horn Army used to advance. Return to the secret base that the Great Horn Army set up between the Gold Clan and Blood Hoof Clan’s territory in the depths of Great Rift Valley.

“I know what you’re worried about, but the Ancient Dream Saintess has already predicted everything and made sufficient preparations. As long as you can bring the Great Horn Army’s core elites back to the secret base and hold out for three to five months or less, a powerful reinforcement army that’s beyond your imagination will descend from the sky!

“As for the Zombie Rat God in your nightmare, what does it mean? Well...

“Leaf, have I ever told you the story of the phoenix being reborn in fire?

“According to legend, the phoenix has to ignite the most vigorous flame at its darkest moment and burn its feathers, flesh, and bones completely in the raging fire. Only then can its soul be purified and tempered before it grows back a stronger body and pair of wings. With that, it will have enough strength to tear apart the seal in the sky and roam freely among the stars!

“Right now, it’s the Great Horn Army’s darkest moment. The nightmare of the Zombie Rat God is the final test that have to must face before you are reborn. As long as you grit your teeth and persevere, both the Great Horn Army and the Big-horned Rat God will be reborn!

“Hurry, tell General Red Bear, General Mountain Dog, and all the rat warriors around you about this!”

Following Meng Chao’s voice, invisible ripples surged through Leaf’s optic nerve and the area in his brain that was responsible for processing visual signals. It stirred up a weak biological electric current as a result. The phoenix was reborn from flames, and it turned into a pillar of fire that soared into the sky. It was a scene that illuminated the stars above.

Such a magnificent scene shocked Leaf greatly and left him speechless for a long time.

He subconsciously believed everything that Meng Chao said.

There was only one last worry left. “But...”

“But, you’re worried that your own words will not resolve the conflict between the two generals, Red Bear and Mountain Dog. It’s even more impossible for them to believe that you’ve become the Ancient Dream Saintess’ spokesperson, that your words are her will, and the direction you’re pointing to is the only way and hope for the Great Horn Army to survive?”

Meng Chao firmly said, “Don’t worry. We will solve this problem and make everyone believe in you.. You just need to remember what you just said. Later, break up the content that we can’t broadcast clearly and explain it to everyone in detail!”
