The Ancient Dream Saintess was as silent as a statue.

It was as if she had turned a deaf ear to Meng Chao’s words.

However, the mask on her face, which was as smooth as a mirror, had a crack that was as thin as a strand of hair.

That meant her subconscious was beginning to waver.

She had developed a faint suspicion of everything that she had once believed in.

Meng Chao was greatly encouraged. He continued, “Are you aware of the problem? Since I can sneak into the depths of your brain and plant a false memory, why can’t others?

“Even you, the ancient Dream Saintess, have often used dreams to spread your beliefs and instill your will into the soldiers of the Great Horn Army? “How can you be sure that what you saw in your dreams was really the revelation of the Rat God and not instilled by someone with ulterior motives?

“I know that it is an extremely painful and difficult thing to deny the beliefs that you gave up everything and fought for. However, for the future of the Great Horn Army and the future of all the rat people, as the commander-in-chief and spiritual leader of the army, you must shoulder the most arduous responsibility. You must doubt, think, and make the correct judgment!”

The cracks on the mask of the ancient Dream Saintess were becoming more and more obvious.

The cracks gradually turned into a fine spider web.

Deep inside the cracks, excruciating emotions seemed to have turned into thick black mist and spurted out of the ‘spider web’.

“Yes. It’s true that I don’t have any evidence to prove my guess. In that case, let’s use common sense to sort out the situation in front of us!”

Meng Chao raised his voice and continued shouting, “You have gathered the most elite force of the Great Horn Army, the hope of all the rat civilians for freedom and dignity, in the heart of the Gold clan, under the impregnable hundred blade city!

“Such a strategy has not only put the great horn army in a dilemma of running out of ammunition and food, it has also deprived the most precious space for the rat civilians’warriors to move around. Moreover, not giving yourself any chance to change the strategy or even break out of the siege is a desperate mentality of a desperate desperado.

“You seem to have placed the future of all the mouse people on the point of ‘Conquering Hundred Blade City’.

“Looking back at the Great Horn Army’s shocking rise from the explosion of Black Horn City and its unstoppable progress, I can not help but ask, is there no safer strategic choice?

“For example, the great horn army can march into the gaps between the borders of the major clans and take advantage of the internal conflicts of the five major clans. At the very least, it can gain the space and opportunity to catch its breath.

“Another example is that the great horn army can break into small groups and advance into the Deep Mountains and forests that the clan warriors look down on.

“Although the mandala trees that cover the mountains and plains have bloomed and are unable to provide more mandala fruits for the advanced orcs, the appetite of the rat people is originally much smaller than that of the wolves, tigers, leopards, and wild boars. As long as they’re willing to farm meticulously, endure hardships, and tighten their belts, it’s not necessarily impossible for them to persist for a longer period of time until the all-out war between Tulanze and the land of Holy Light begins.

“At that time, if we make use of our numerical advantage and negotiate with the five clans, we might be able to obtain more space for the sixth clan to survive!

“Yes, such a strategic choice certainly doesn’t seem as glorious and straightforward as ‘gathering a million people and starting a war against the most powerful Gold clan in Tulanze’. But is there any doubt for a real commander as to whether it’s for the sake of a moment of pleasure and only for the sake of a spectacular destruction, or if it’s for the sake of concealing his lackeys and quietly managing and enduring for the sake of long-term survival and freedom?

“Even if hundred blade city is really the focus of the strategy, I remember that the first strategy of the Great Horn Army was to besiege the city for reinforcements. The goal was to destroy the living forces of the reinforcements. But for some reason, it has now become ‘finishing all the work in one battle’and attacking hundred blade city at the cost of their own blood?

“Saintess ancient dream, based on your battle record on the local battlefield, I don’t think that you are a manly warrior who is prone to hot-headedness. Then, what exactly prompted you to make a series of foolish choices that would obviously lead the Great Horn Army to a dead end?

“Haven’t you thought about the possibility that the great horn army is unable to take down Hundred Blade City? Even if they destroy the elite troops and raze hundred blade city to the ground, as long as the defending troops burn down all the granaries in the city at the last moment, or even that these granaries are empty from the start?”

Meng Chao’s question was like an invisible sharp blade that pierced through the gap on the ancient Dream Saintess’mask.

It made her, who was as tall as a statue, take a few steps back in the dream, covering her face and twitching.

“It’s the Big Horn Rat God.”

Meng Chao’s voice suddenly became extremely calm, “The only explanation is that you received the Big Horn Rat God’s prophecy in the dream. The Big Horn Rat God told you that hundred blade city was destined to be broken by the Big Horn Army. Moreover, the city stored enough military rations and weapons for the Big Horn Army to carry out the next phase of the strategy. As long as the rat people warriors could take down this historic city in Tulanze in one go, they could completely change the entire strategic situation. They could even catalyze the internal strife between the lion and tiger clans, thus fighting for the final victory for all the rat people.

“Although it sounds absurd.

“But your memories tell you that no matter how absurd the prophecies were in the past, they have all turned into reality.

“Besides, the Great Horn Army has reached its current state. There are wolves, wolves, and leopards in front, wild boars, and bulls in the back. The Hungry Falcons, vultures, lizards, crocodiles, and pythons are all eyeing it.

“You have no choice but to stick your head out.

“Therefore, you can only close your eyes and give up thinking. You will hand over the fate of yourself, the Great Horn Army, and the entire rat population to the illusory great horn rat god!”

The spider web cracks on the ancient Dream Saintess’mask had already expanded into a black hole.

The black fog that spewed out of the black hole also began to burn.

“No, the great horn rat God will never lie to me, and he will never lie to the entire rat population!”

The ancient dream saintess screamed hysterically, “It was the Rat God who saved me. Without the Rat God’s arrival, I would have died tragically in the plague long ago.

“The Great Horn Army was founded only after the Rat God’s revelation that they found the lost temple and the underground base.

“Why did the Rat God guide me to build the Great Horn Army, give us victory and hope, and then destroy all of this?”

The white bones and sharp blades around her all stood up, looking as if they were ready to draw their swords.

If they didn’t agree, they would stab Meng Chao until he was riddled with holes.

However, Meng Chao was overjoyed.

No matter how the ancient dream holy maiden bared her fangs and brandished her claws.

As long as she was willing to speak, it meant that she had broken free from the logic loop that the rat God had implanted into the depths of her brain.

She found the possibility of communicating and thinking again.

“The Rat God did not save you. He merely ‘chose’you. A lucky person who suffered a lot but survived by a fluke and who possessed a special spiritual power that allowed him to infiltrate and interfere with other people’s dreams. Then, he implanted and constantly updated fake memories in the depths of your brain, causing you to mistakenly believe that you have received the help of the non-existent rat God on your path of growth.”

Meng Chao raised both of his hands and once again expressed to the ancient Dream Saintess that he had no ill intentions. He tried to appease the other party’s emotions while at the same time analyzing the situation, “As for helping you to build the great horn army and destroying it personally, there’s no contradiction. It’s just to squeeze out the value of the entire rat population and realize their own ambitions.

“In order to capture the totem beast, the hunters can throw in fragrant bait in the pit. Even the living rat population can be devoured by the totem beast until their bellies are round and indigestible. They can not even walk.

“In order to stimulate the gladiators to perform brilliantly in the arena, the masters of the arena were willing to give generously so that even the most humble rat subjects could enjoy the most abundant delicacies and secret medicines.

“In order to stimulate the strongest combat ability of a cannon fodder army, the high and mighty commander could even make all kinds of extravagant promises in front of the rat subjects and even give them excellent equipment to make them look awe-inspiring.

“If the guy hiding behind the Rat God didn’t help you build the Great Horn Army, how could you, the rat subjects who had suffered thousands of years of oppression and enslavement, rise up and fight back and Forge Your Flesh and bones into the sharpest weapons in the hands of an ambitious man to help him achieve his goal

“Purpose…”

The black hole on the mask of the ancient Dream Saintess revealed a deep confusion as she muttered, “What purpose?”

“Of course, it’s to destroy the old order that has ruled Turanze for thousands of years and then seize the supreme power of Turanze!”Meng Chao said firmly.
