Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 372 The First Sacrifice

Thousands of red-crested skinks rushed in front of the rats, shouting Sotek's name.

And in 2000 years, they finally understood what the lizardman term of hatred is.

Revenge is filled in the minds of these Skinks who have lost their homes, and they are willing to follow Sotek's emissary, Tehenhauin, to any corner of the world, as long as they can kill the Rats!
These Skinks, whose physique was similar to that of the Ratmen, were undoubtedly stronger than their kind. The obsidian long-handled hammer shattered the tattered wooden shield of the Clan Rat, and then blood was splashed on the red crown, making the original The skin membrane with branched ribs is more vivid.

Tehenhauin, who was riding the Horned Cold One, looked extremely violent. The inferior weapons made by the Skaven could not break through him at all, and the slate armor protected by Sotek's divine power, and those deadly plagues had no effect on him. .

A strong rat who appeared to be the leader of the clan rats attempted to attack the Cold One with a corrosive halberd laced with a strong toxin. When the Cold One jumped and pounced, the halberd pierced the unprotected The abdomen, but only inserted a little, Tehenhauin took the head with the Snake Sword, and donated the blood to Sotek.

These toxins carefully prepared by the plague lords had no effect on the mounts of Sotek's God's Chosen, and even those plague monks with rusty swords or bronze flail censers had little effect on the red-crested skinks.

These blessed Skinlizards have changed from master planners to warriors who slaughter rats. Even the dwarf warriors who claim to be best at slaughtering rats are probably inferior to them.

The blood guides the group of snakes to fight with the red-crested skink lizard. Venomous snakes the size of ordinary human arms can be seen everywhere. They twisted and entangled around the ratman's body, crushing the ratman's body into pieces with enough force to break bones and sutures, and then swallowed it in one gulp. Down.

The morale of this vanguard army consisting of clan rats and slave rats soon collapsed. The endless red-crowned skinks had already surrounded the jungle. The influx of snakes made them witness the tragedy of their companions. After five Ankylosaurus carrying the Sotek Sacred Ark rushed into the position and released countless poisonous snakes.

Fear has permeated all the rats, pheromones, urine smell, blood, the cold breath of the poisonous snake, and the red-crowned skink that has killed the leading plague priest, all these are the reasons for the rats to flee .

"Run, run, yes, yes!" The Ratman who stayed behind chose to flee, and achieved good results, because the Stormrats who were the warlords also began to flee, and the name of the snake god prophet spread to Ska Every corner of civilized society, even the warlords in the most remote areas, knew that Lustria had a cold-blooded beast that had killed countless ratmen.

Even though this cold-blooded thing has occupied the top of the Eshin clan's assassination list for thousands of years, there is still no master assassin who has successfully won its head.

Blood gradually spread everywhere in the jungle. After defeating the enemy, Tehenhauin ordered his men to prepare to find sacrifices for Sotek.

The swift Skinks galloped behind the fleeing skaven, and the obsidian poleaxes struck not deadly heads, but limbs and spines.

Under the guidance of the Prophet, the group of snakes entangled the group of rats, stunned them with strong force, and waited for the Skinks to complete the finishing work.

At this time, the Snake God Prophet had already jumped off the back of the Horned Cold One, and walked to the side of the dead plague priest who was still emitting a foul smell.

His whole body was stained with the blood of the rats, and the stench seemed to be just a symbol, which made him feel the brilliance of Sotek even more.

The curved snake letter sword pierced the plague priest's messy and uneven skin, cut it from the neck down, and the inside was full of viscera that had turned into pus. Only the heart at the innermost part was still beating slightly, proving that the corpse had once Still a creature.

Snake Xinjian cut open the blood vessel connected to the heart, Tehenhauin ignored the disgusting pus around it, and pulled the heart straight out of the corpse with the sound of tearing.

The prophet held up the heart with one hand, let the foul-smelling blood flow from his arm to the ground, and delivered the oracle of Sotek to all believers,

"The first sacrifice, when the blood of the seven sacrifices flows from the top of the altar, and 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, and Tehenhauin sighed and put down the mouse's heart, and put it in the leather bag.

A group of exiles without the guidance of Slan, the Prophet knew very well that this was his identity as a group of Skinks. They lacked a stable logistics supply point and could only rely on some small hidden hatching pools to maintain the number of people.

He could feel some fatigue. After sacrificing countless rats to Sotek at the top of the pyramid in the temple city, the Slanns opposed it. All of these were the shortcomings of the Sotek sect.

The Prophet has persisted in the war against the Skavens for 2000 years. For a Skink, it means seeing a familiar face has changed dozens of generations. The Skink brought out from the Golden City is only himself Still persisting in the war against the Ratmen.

Fanaticism and faith make the prophet not doubt whether Sotek's prophecy will come true, but he occasionally doubts whether he can see this day and whether he can contribute the last strength for Sotek's coming.

However, looking at the slate of prophecy on his left hand, which had changed, the prophet felt that he had returned to his previous belief.

The elves will provide countless sacrifices for the coming of Sotek. This is the first time Tehenhauin has seen a change in the prophecy in 2000 years. The giant snake covering the sky and the earth in the dream is no longer Blurred phantom.

This means that the persistence of 2000 years has not lost its due meaning, and the prophet finally waited for Sotek's second oracle.

Seven sacrifices, plus the blood of the elf cubs, will bring Sotek back into the world.

The Prophet looked up to the far north, and seemed to be able to see the Sotek Herald far away in the Lustria Isthmus directly from the Great Forest Sea in the south.

Slann has never provided support for the Sotek Sect. Even the most enlightened Lord Huahua has maintained his position as the leader of the lizardmen on this matter, opposing bringing the filthy and evil rats to the pyramid, and using extremely cruel A blood sacrifice to please an unknown god.

"Lord Mazdamurdi, Sotek's prophecy will surely come true. The Old Sage is no longer able to save us. Only Sotek can let the Old Sage's eldest son continue."

When Tehenhauin raised the sacrifice in his arms, a spiritual communication across the north and south had already begun.

"The Old One's eldest son's mission is to maintain the Great Plan, and Sotek doesn't know the importance of it."

"So let the rats slaughter the eldest son of the ancient sage, use the plague to stink the jungle, and all living things will become the nourishment for their survival. Absolutely, this matter must not continue!"

"I need this elf named Imrik, his appearance will allow Sotek to show more authority!"
