Chapter 372 The First Sacrifice
Thousands of red-crowned skinks rushed in front of the rats, shouting the name of Sotek.
And in two thousand years, they finally understood what the lizard people term for hatred was.
Revenge fills the hearts of these skink lizards who have lost their homes, and they are willing to follow Sotek's messenger Tehenhoin to any corner of the world, as long as they can kill the rats!
These skink lizards, who were originally about the same physical fitness as the rat men, were undoubtedly stronger than their kind. The obsidian long-handled hammer shattered the tattered wooden shield of the clan rats, and then blood was splashed on the red crown, making the originally weak The skin with open branches is more colorful.
Tehenhoin, who was riding a giant horned cold lizard, looked extremely violent. The inferior weapons made by the ratmen could not break him at all. With the stone armor protected by Sotek's divine power, those deadly plagues had no effect on him. .
A strong rat who seemed to be the leader of the clan rats tried to attack the giant horned cold lizard with a corrosive halberd containing strong poison. When the giant horned cold lizard jumped to attack, the halberd penetrated the lack of protection. The head was taken away by Tehenhoin with the Snake Sword, and the blood was sacrificed to Sotek.
These toxins carefully prepared by the plague lord had no effect on Sotek's chosen mount, and even the plague monks holding rusty swords or bronze flail censers had little effect on the red-crowned skink.
These blessed skink lizards have transformed from craftsmen of big plans to warriors who slaughter rats. Even the dwarf warriors who are known to be the best at killing rats are probably inferior to them.
The blood guided the snakes to fight together with the red-crowned skinks. Poisonous snakes as thick as human arms could be seen everywhere. They twisted and entangled themselves on the bodies of the rats, crushing them into pieces with enough power to break bones and menstruation, and then swallowed them in one gulp. Down.
The vanguard army composed of clan rats and slave rats soon suffered a morale collapse. The red-crested skinks with no end in sight had surrounded the jungle. The influx of snakes allowed them to witness the tragedy of their companions, and After five ankylosaurs carrying Sotek's Holy Ark rushed into the position and released countless poisonous snakes.
Fear has filled all the rats. Pheromones, urine odor, blood, the cold breath of poisonous snakes, and the red-crowned skink that has killed the leading plague priest are all reasons for the rats to flee. .
"Run away, run away, yes, yes!" The Ratmen who stayed behind chose to flee, and achieved good results, because the Storm Rats as warlords also began to flee, and the name of the Snake God Prophet spread throughout Ska. Every corner of civil society, even the warlords in the most remote areas, know that Lustria has a cold-blooded thing that has killed countless ratmen.
Even though this cold-blooded thing has been at the top of the Essien clan's assassination list for thousands of years, no master assassin has successfully captured its head.
Blood gradually filled the jungle. After defeating the enemy, Tehenhoin ordered his men to start preparing to find sacrifices for Sotek.
The swift Skink flew behind the fleeing Skaven, and the obsidian long-handled hammer no longer hit the fatal head, but the limbs and spine.
Under the guidance of the prophet, the snakes entangled the rats, knocked them unconscious with strong force, and waited for the skinks to complete the finishing work.
At this time, the snake god prophet had jumped off the back of the giant horned cold lizard and walked to the dead plague priest, but still exuding a foul smell.
His whole body was stained with the blood of rats, and the stench seemed to be just a symbol, making him feel the brilliance of Sotek even more.
The curved Snake Sword broke through the uneven skin of the Plague Priest and cut it downward from the neck. The interior was filled with internal organs that had turned into pus. Only the heart in the innermost part was still beating slightly, proving that this corpse had been Still a living thing.
The Snake Xin Sword cut open the blood vessels connected to the heart. Tehenhuoyin ignored the disgusting pus around it and pulled the heart out of the corpse with a tearing sound.
The prophet raised the heart with one hand, letting the foul-smelling blood flow from his arm to the ground, conveying Sotek's oracle to all believers, "The first sacrifice, when the blood of the seven sacrifices flows from the top of the altar Flow, countless blood seeps into the ground from the steps, Sotek will come to this world, and the horned evil god will die!"
Fanaticism and belief gathered in the jungle, Tehenhoin sighed and put down the heart of the rat, Put it in your leather bag.
A group of exiles without the guidance of the Slann, the Prophet knew very well that this was his group of Skinks. They lacked stable logistical supply points and could only rely on some secret small incubation pools to maintain their numbers.
He could feel some weakness. After sacrificing countless rats to Sotek on the top of the pyramid in the temple city, the Slann opposed him. These were all shortcomings of Sotek's sect.
The Prophet has been fighting the war against the Skaven for two thousand years. For a Skink, it means seeing a familiar face that has been replaced by dozens of generations. The Skink brought out from the Golden City is only himself. Still persisting in the war against the Skaven.
Fanaticism and belief prevent the prophet from doubting whether Sotek's prophecy will come true, but he occasionally doubts whether he can see this day and whether he can contribute his final strength to Sotek's arrival.
However, looking at the changed prophetic tablet on his left hand, the prophet felt that he had returned to his previous belief.
The elves will provide countless victims for the coming of Sotek. This is the first time in two thousand years that Tehenhoin has seen the prophecy change. The giant snake covering the sky and the earth in the dream is no longer Blurred shadow.
This means that two thousand years of perseverance have not lost its meaning, and the prophet finally waited for Sotek's another oracle.
Seven sacrifices, plus the blood of the elf cub, can bring Sotek back to the world.
The prophet looked up to the far north, and seemed to be able to directly see the prophet of Sotek far away in the Isthmus of Lustria from the Great Forest Sea in the south.
Slann has never provided support to the Sotek sect. Even the most enlightened Flower Lord maintained the position of the leader of the lizard people on this matter, objecting to bringing the filthy and evil rats to the pyramid, and also used extremely cruel methods. A blood sacrifice to please an unknown god.
"Lord Mazdamudi, Sotek's prophecy will surely come true. The Ancient Saint has been unable to save us. Only Sotek can continue the eldest son of the Ancient Saint."
When Tehenhoin raised the sacrifice in his arms, A spiritual communication spanning the north and south ends has begun.
"The mission of the eldest son of the ancient saint is to maintain the grand plan. Sotek doesn't know the importance of it." "
So he allowed the rats to slaughter the eldest son of the ancient saint and stink the jungle with plague, and all living creatures became nutrients for their survival. No, this matter must not continue!"
"I need this elf named Imrik. His appearance will allow Sotek to show more authority!"
