Chapter 347, The Thirteenth Ratman Councilor
In order to have more chips in his hands, Sheng Qi raised the Church of the Ore Spirit to the table without hesitation.
Under the strange looks of all the guys in the hall.
Sheng Qi wants to take the vacant position into his own hands. This is a very smart choice.
Whether he succeeds or fails, when the group of sneaky guys hiding on the edge of the Skaven Empire are revealed to everyone, a fact is established.
They can only take refuge in Sheng Qi, and they can only hug Sheng Qi tightly.
To a certain extent, the guys in the Church of Ore Spirits are not heretical. They also believe in great gods and are even more advanced in structure. Compared with the people who are scattered in the Rat Man Empire, An abstract organization composed of rat priests from various places.
A church with no clear program and no leader for the time being.
Does the Church of the Spirit of Ore have a clear teaching, or is it based on the teachings revealed by the great gods? Dig more ores and discover the power contained in these ores.
To some extent they are indeed more progressive.
It's just that, how to put it, progress is not completely equated with strength.
Although the general church built by the rat priests is not progressive, it is powerful enough.
These crazy mice are thinking every moment about how to deliver more sacrifices to the great gods and pile more lives on the scarlet altar.
Although their ideas seem to have changed recently and they have begun to pursue more blood mushrooms, the specific situation has not changed. After all, blood mushrooms also rely on accumulating life on the altar.
It used to be for merit, but now it's for blood mushrooms. For these things, these guys do everything they can to monopolize mineral veins, hoard young ratmen, train private guards, fund a large number of ratmen mercenaries, and form One after another, the rat caravans promoted the war and used all these to tirelessly pursue what they wanted, that self-righteous piety.
These guys were on the wrong path from the beginning, and their piety towards the gods became a matter of comparing the amount of things piled on the altar.
Up to now, they have been running all the way on the wrong road and it is difficult to turn around, and they are not willing to turn around.
When you discuss with these guys what is true piety, gods and believers, these mysterious and mysterious topics, they will probably hesitate, but on the other hand, they will label you as a heretic and then mobilize A bunch of ratmen will come and send you to the altar, which also doesn't take much effort.
The Church of the Ore Spirit is stuck on this line.
Progress but damn.
The rat priests present, no matter which faction they belonged to, all looked dangerous the moment Sheng Qi made such a rebellious suggestion.
It’s just that Sheng Qi ignored these guys.
To bring the Ore Spirit Church to the forefront, the conflict with the rat priests was inevitable and irreversible, so from the beginning he directly put the people he wanted to fight for on the spot. on other beings.
The Big Claw Priest, who was in charge of many matters in the Underground Rat City, fell silent.
The captain of the temple guard guarding the underground rat city showed the same anger as the rat priests.
Even though he should theoretically agree with this matter, after all, the competition between the temple guards and the rat priests is still going on. But how can I put it, in terms of piety, the temple guards have always been as good as the rat priests, even more so. Have sanity.
The atmosphere on the field was not right.
Even at this moment behind Sheng Qi, the lightning cannon engraved with faint blue lines was still bursting out with light from time to time, which was enough to threaten all the guys present to the sky. Sheng Qi just held it in his hand. , but it still cannot prevent the situation from moving towards an increasingly tense and dangerous situation.
Everyone sitting here at this time is not afraid of death, but Sheng Qi wants to easily suppress them with the threat of death, which is not easy to do.
As for the Ore Spirit Church, this proposal crosses the line. No matter what, don’t disrespect the gods anymore. This is a huge taboo.
Sheng Qi must convince these guys, otherwise he will not end well. Unless he is really crazy enough to die directly with everyone present at this meeting, otherwise he must do something.
The Ore Spirit Church just stepped on the line and can be classified as a heresy or let go.
Soon after, a confused Big Claw priest was pulled onto the high platform.
A young Great Claw priest, a freak obsessed with circular motion.
Sheng Qi once wanted to throw this annoying freak into the sea, but today, he has to admit that even this annoying freak that can make people feel irritated is not like that. It's useless, at least, this guy's words are really enough.
Just gave a sentence.
“I might consider investing in those wheels.”
Just like that, with just these words, the Gear Rat followed Sheng Qi to the Underground Rat City.
Not long ago, when he learned that Sheng Qi had been appointed as the rat-man high priest, he had some unrealistic fantasies at that time.
Perhaps Sheng Qi will hand over such a huge and beautiful industrial area of the Underground Rat City into his hands. What a beautiful dream it is. If Sheng Qi does this, then He will definitely praise Sheng Qi fiercely.
Until he came here and stood in front of the rat council members, he was still having such a dream.
There is no way, after all, the place where the fire never goes out is so beautiful.
But unfortunately, a dream is a dream after all. Gear Rat doesn’t feel very good now. Although he doesn’t know what is happening here or what is being done here, he really doesn’t feel very good. good.
At this time, Sheng Qi sat down, sitting in the highest position, and his words fell lightly.
"This is a member of the Ore Spirit." With such a light word, the Gear Rat and the Ore Spirit Church in the rolling hills were lifted to the flames by Rope Seven.
My throat slid, and I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
At this moment, the eyes of the twelve rat-man councilors on the court fell on the gear rat, with various, dangerous, and inexplicable looks of curiosity.
Gear Rat had to admit that he regretted it a little. Maybe the wheel was not that important.
Gear Rat is a smart man. Although he becomes extremely talkative and irritating when talking about wheels, he is a smart man.
Sheng Qi just gave a few words of advice, and he immediately understood what he was going to do, and a warm introduction began.
A eloquent introduction to the Church of the Spirit of Ore.
In his words, the Church of the Ore Spirit instantly transformed from a sneaky and secretive group into a vanguard of devout faith in the great god.
He emphasized his love and devotion to the great god over and over again.
They gathered together to practice the revelations left by the great gods.
To a certain extent, this is indeed true, but it has been exaggerated and concealed something. This is a normal situation, and of course it must be concealed.
After all, although the Church of Ore Spirit was established not long ago, they have done many things.
The slave rats sent by the rat priests were intercepted, stolen ores, and dug underground cities privately. Even in the underground city they dug, an illegal sacred pillar made entirely of metal was erected.
None of these things can be said.
There is some confusion among the endless words. Most of them are praises to the great gods. A small part is the original intention repeated again and again. They are a group of people who are not afraid of difficulties and resolutely practice the piety of the great gods’ revelations. Guy.
They are loyal! Extremely loyal!
The garbled speech played a role.
The solemn atmosphere on the field has eased a lot.
Although the rat priests are still hostile to this so-called ore spirit, there is no longer a sense of danger that is so sharp that it stings anyone who looks at them.
It has eased a lot.
It seems that Sheng Qi no longer has to die with everyone present.
This proposal also naturally entered the voting stage.
Two loyalist rat priests, two rat lords, radical rat priests, and the captain of the temple guard guarding the underground rat city all voted against it.
The big-clawed priest who manages many matters in the underground rat city, the captain of the temple guard stationed in Prairie City, the war priest with scars on his face, the rat warlord, and that vague guy hiding in the shadows, They chose to support.
It is not surprising that the Great Claw Priests would support it. After all, the members of Ore Spiritual Power are basically the Great Claw Priests.
The captain of the temple guard stationed in Prairie City seemed to agree with the Gear Rat's practice of divine revelation.
The reason why the war priests and the rat warlords chose to support is equally simple. It is simply because they can't get along with the rat priests.
And that vague guy hiding in the shadows, he will support the newly appointed high priest.
Greystone abstained. This dumb guy is not very adaptable to the rhythm at this time. Like the gear rat standing here, he does not fully understand what is happening here.
It’s just one vote short.
The captain of the temple guard stationed in the Underground Rat City was not moved by Gear Rat's speech.
Twelve rat-man councilors, during the vote, regarding the ownership of the last rat-man councilor seat, six votes were against and five were in favor.
But this situation made Sheng Qi breathe a sigh of relief.
As the Ratman High Priest, Sheng Qi also has the right to vote, and to a certain extent, his vote is even more important and weighty.
As an extremely young high priest, it was not easy for him to exercise this right.
Rats can push for what they want without voting.
Even if Sheng Qi wants to vote, he can only lose his vote in this stalemate.
The resolution was passed.
The Church of the Gear Spirit has obtained a quota on the Skaven Council.
Sheng Qi finally had an extra bargaining chip in his hand.
At the end of the meeting, a new proposal was put forward. During the rat-men meeting, no weapons or magic were allowed to be carried. This principle was determined and would be ensured by the temple guards.
Of course, no one will be able to push the lightning cannon into the meeting.
