Therefore, it's not surprising that Yang Wenting's abilities and his predictions were wrong.

Yang Wenting then realized that although the ratmen wouldn't attack her or those around her when she was present, controlling them to fight wasn't so easy.

She can control hundreds of ratmen to fight, but most of the time, there's less than a one in ten chance that those ratmen will obey her commands.

Ultimately, she was merely a "rat-man high priestess" rather than a rat-man king, and thus had limited control over the rat-men.

Yang Wenting didn't dare to lie to Zhang Lin, and was even more afraid that Zhang Lin would overestimate his abilities and then take his anger out on her if he didn't get what he wanted, so she just told him first.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Lin nervously, afraid that he would be angry.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lin smiled slightly, not caring at all, "As long as you can control them and prevent them from attacking people, that's fine. Anyway, I didn't intend to make them fight."

"I can do that!" Yang Wenting quickly assured her.

"That's good."

Unlike the Yang siblings, they planned to control the rat-people as an army, so that they could conquer cities and territories and acquire resources for them in the future.

Zhang Lin, however, was different.

He is strong enough on his own, and now he also has a hidden control over Hope City, and he has a powerful force of human warriors under his command.

There is absolutely no need to control the ratman army to fight for you.

His real purpose was simple.

By utilizing the three characteristics of the rat people—"easy to raise," "durable," and "excellent reproductive ability"—the rat people can be bred.

Then……

Obtaining demon cores continuously.
