Chapter 1041: Changing His Way of Death

“Of course it’s different. Don’t you know how terrifying Brute Hammer is, Reaper?”

Leaf became anxious. “First of all, Brute Hammer and Ice Storm are the trump cards of the Blood Skull Arena. In the past, they had fought many times in the arena. Brute Hammer lost more than he won, and he was very unconvinced of Lady Ice Storm.

“We were all servants that Lady Ice Storm personally selected from the dungeon. We fought several victories with Lady Ice Storm. According to the tradition of the Turan warriors, we had a good chance of becoming Lady Ice Storm’s personal soldiers or even servants, but in the end, we received Lady Ice Storm’s blood.

“Right now, we have fallen into Lady Ice Storm’s enemy, brute hammer. Do you think that brute hammer will give us a good look?”

Meng Chao replied, “Oh.”

“Don’t ‘Oh’me. Also, Man Hammer’s style of training servant soldiers is completely different from Lord Ice Storm’s. He is the most typical warrior of the clan. He has never taken pity on the lives of the civilian rat soldiers. He only knows how to work hard and train hard. The casualty rate of being his servant soldiers is very high!”

Ye Zi continued, “Also, Wildhammer is a native of black-corner city. Naturally, he has a batch of ‘House rats’that he has brought out from his clan and worked for him for many years. They have even been working for his clan since hundreds of years ago.

“When he is on the battlefield, the house rats are naturally the ones he trusts the most.

“After the spoils of war are captured, the house rats will be the first to divide the spoils. The house rats will be the ones who will take the easy missions. As for the cheap subordinates that we have temporarily transferred here, they will naturally be the best cannon fodder. They will be the meat shields that will charge at the front when we attack the fortress and fight hard battles!”

“Eh?”

Meng Chao said in surprise, “I didn’t expect you to know so much at such a young age. I’m very gratified to see that you have grown so fast. My efforts were not in vain!”

“Reaper –”

Leaf was about to cry. “Why are you still so calm at such a time? Are you just willing to obey man Hammer’s command and give up your life for the Blood Hoof Clan? Can’t you think of a way?”

“What?”

Meng Chao looked at the rat-like youth and said, “You are the rat-like people of the Blood Hoof clan to begin with. Isn’t it natural for you to fight for the Blood Hoof Clan? What do you think I can think of?”

“I, I don’t know either.”

Ye Zi was so anxious that she was running around in circles. She said in a dilemma, “I once heard the elders in the village say that when the glorious era came, we, the rat people, would have to go to the city to wait for the recruitment of the Samurai Masters. We would do whatever the masters told us to do. When the Masters told us to die, we would have to die obediently and without hesitation. The elders said that this was the so-called ‘way of a warrior’, just like how the mandala fruit grew on the mandala tree. It was a natural principle.

“In the beginning, perhaps I could have fought and died loyally for the warriors without thinking about anything.

“However, after coming to black-corner city and experiencing so many things and hearing so many reasons from you, I gradually felt that there were not so many reasons in the world that were reasonable but meaningless. Those High and mighty warriors had never done anything good to me, my family, or my home. Why should I fight and die for them?

“It’s probably like what you said. ‘as long as I haven’t seen the glorious dawn, I could have endured the endless night’!”

“Wait.”

Meng Chao said, “Did I ever say anything that made sense?”

“You did.”

The rat teenager said solemnly, “You also said that ‘The black night sky has collapsed, and the Golden Dawn will definitely come’!

“Reaper, I have imprinted every word you said in my mind.

“With or without the Rat God, I don’t want to serve the darn warriors of the clan anymore!

“If it is Lord icestorm, since she is not the Tauren who destroyed half a mountain village and is not even an official member of the Bloody Hoof Clan, and because she treats her servants very leniently and freely, I can still put up with her.

“But, brute hammer?

“No, I’m absolutely unwilling to obey his command, and I don’t want to be killed by him. Then, I’ll use my broken bones to cast his ‘glory’!”

The rat-peasant youth’s face was filled with determination and resolution, and it affected Meng Chao, causing his expression to become serious.

“If you really think that way and are unwilling to serve the clan’s warriors even if you die, then there’s only one way.”

Meng Chao stared at leaf and said word by word, “Escape, escape from black-corner city.”

Leaf narrowed his eyes, and the light in his eyes became more condensed. He gritted his teeth and said, “Then we’ll escape, escape from this damn place!”

“You have to think it through carefully.”

Meng Chao said, “Now that there are 100,000 or even more clan’s warriors gathered in black-corner city, it’s not an easy thing to escape. It’s too easy to say that it’s a narrow escape. You might not even see the city wall of black-corner city before the spear with bull horns tied to the tip pierced through your heart.”

“I have thought it through very clearly. After all, there is no way for me to survive if I fight with brute hammer. I was either torn into pieces by the lion-man, tiger-man, werewolf-man, and leopard-man legions of the Gold clan in the ‘five races’or rushed to the land of Holy Light after surviving the five races’. Then, I was burnt to ashes alive by the unfathomable mages and ascetics, the weird spells and divine arts, or something even uglier than ashes!

“The Elders in the village have said that our half-mountain village has a history of several hundred years. In the past few hundred years, we have participated in several ‘Wars of Glory’, but every time, out of a hundred rat villagers who went on an expedition, three to five of them would come back from the front line with all their whiskers and tails, and seven to eight of them would come back with broken limbs. That would be considered pretty good!

“I don’t want to repeat their fate.

“I want to change the way I live or… Die.

“Please, help me, Reaper!”

Meng Chao was silent for a long time.

In the end, he sighed softly.

“Alright, I can try.”

Meng Chao’s eyes were bright as he said, “Let me confirm first. are the two of us the only ones who want to escape from black-corner City?”

Leaf quickly shook her head. “I don’t know the situation outside the blood-skull arena, nor do I know the situation of the other rat militia soldiers. However, the 29 rat militia soldiers that you picked back then all want to escape. We would rather die on the road of escape than die in the trenches that are charging toward the gold clan or the land of Holy Light.”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course not,”Meng Chao said. “After all, it’s a completely different concept if one person escapes alone and two people work together to escape, or if the entire battle team escapes together.

“Let’s not talk about the difficulty. I have to figure out everyone’s true intentions. If we plan everything out here, and someone doesn’t want to escape and instead wants to stay under Wildhammer or the warriors of other clans to ‘Seize Glory’, wouldn’t we be overestimating ourselves?”

“That’s impossible.”

Ye said, “If we were to follow Lord icestorm, there might be some who would hesitate. But if it were Wildhammer, no one would be willing to follow him to his death.”

“Why?”Meng Chao was puzzled.

“Of course it’s because of you!”

Ye’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Meng Chao, “Because you taught us such exquisite techniques and brilliant tactics, allowing us to witness true strength. This caused us to look down on Wildhammer’s simple and crude training and battle methods.

“You must know that Lord Ice Storm is the ‘Frost Empress’. Recently, he has defeated many powerhouses and seized their totem armor fragments. He is even willing to accept your suggestion humbly. That is why he is worthy of US following him.

“Brute Hammer is merely a defeated opponent of Lord Ice Storm. He doesn’t have your ability. Why should we follow his orders!

“Reaper, trust me. Right now, your appeal among the rat militia might be much greater than Wildhammer’s. If you raise your arms and shout, everyone will definitely believe you and be willing to follow you to create a miracle

“Don’t say such mushy words like ‘create a miracle’.”

Meng Chao pondered for a moment and said, “However, if everyone is willing to follow my orders and absolutely trust me, I can give it a try… in short, don’t say too much to everyone for now. Everything will be fine as long as everything goes as usual.”

“Really?”

Leaf was overjoyed. “Reaper, you really have a way? What should we do?”

“First, of course, we’ll go to the training camp and receive Lord Wildhammer’s inspection,”Meng Chao said seriously.

“Eh?”The rat youth’s ecstatic expression instantly stiffened.

..

In the end, leaf still listened to Meng Chao’s suggestion and obediently returned to the training camp with him to wait for Wildhammer’s inspection.

Because just as he went to look for Meng Chao, urgent horns sounded from the towers at the four corners of the Blood Skull Arena.

There were also people who sounded heavy war drums, “Dong Dong Dong Dong”, like the footsteps of some giant totem beast that was over a hundred arms tall.

This was the assembly order.

This meant that the blood skull arena was about to close.

All the gladiators, servants, handymen, and slaves were all incorporated into the blood skull battle group to implement the most stringent military management.

There were commanders and supervising squads filled with Casanova’s attendants and personal guards everywhere. Seeing the panicking servants and handymen running around, they could kill them at any time and report to the army according to military law.

However, it was not realistic to escape from black-corner city now.

In Meng Chao’s words, it was not the right time yet.

When the two of them returned to the training camp, the captain of the personal guards under man Hammer had already led a group of arrogant personal guards to guard the commanding heights and the entrances of the training camp.

The rat civil servants who had originally belonged to the ice storm were dejected like prisoners in a prison.

Before Man Hammer appeared, he had already shown off his might to Meng Chao, leaf, and the others.

He ordered the rat civil servants who had originally belonged to the ice storm to put on armor covered with tree bark and stone chips. They picked up large wooden shields made from tree stumps, carried heavy battle axes and battle hammers, and stood motionless in the middle of the training camp, waiting for his arrival.
