Chapter 360, Three Years
In the vast starry sky, two races were chosen.
There are intelligent beings in this huge world. Among the vast stars, in the past, these guys were not so inconspicuous. They were like insects, powerlessly following the rise and fall of the starry sky. And birth and death.
Until those two great men wanted to make some changes.
Two races were selected as the first generation protagonists of this starry sky.
Also as a new participant in this never-ending war.
In a very short period of time, they have gone through most races and there is no way from birth to destruction.
Birth, enlightenment, understanding the world, exploration, war, heading towards the stars.
What they don’t know is that all this comes at a price. Their growth, their culture, their wars, and their proud heroes were all born under their gaze. of.
Everything is guided.
One side embraces extremely regular physics.
One side embraces the boundless chaotic space.
By the way, they have their own understanding and name for the boundless chaotic space and the dense power in it.
Subspace, psychic energy.
Like two stags specially trained to fight, their fate and future have been marked. Stepping into the starry sky is just a step into a wider and destined arena.
………….
This holy war has been going on for three full years.
A lot has happened in three years.
The war has not stopped, and it cannot stop. This is an absolutely impossible thing.
Even if we reach a deadlock, even if we make little progress, we will never stop.
This is a great holy war. Whether it is the temple guards, the rat priests, or Sheng Qi, they all have reasons to maintain this war.
Unexpectedly, even though the war reached a stalemate, the Rat Man Empire did not gradually weaken due to the stalemate of the war.
More ratmen were pushed onto the battlefield, more war instruments, weapons, equipment, and more cave mushrooms. The huge demand brought about by the war started the rotation of resources in the ratman empire.
In the past, too many things, most of the blood mushrooms, were eaten by those high-ranking guys in the empire, but now, this war is forcing these guys to spit out what they have eaten. .
Load more Blood Mushrooms to all aspects of the Skaven Empire.
The defeat and stalemate in the war made these greedy guys loose their mouths.
Have there been more blood mushrooms? No, that grand sacrificial ceremony, which was enough to pile up a mountain of sacrifices. Such a ceremony has not happened for a long time, so how could there be more blood mushrooms.
But now the Rat Man Empire is more prosperous than ever before.
The rat priests supported the flow of materials and commerce.
The temple guards established a rough order among the countless rat-man corpses that were hung high and shaken.
The Greatclaw Priests lead the advancement of industry and maintain every aspect of this deformed kingdom.
The Storm Skaven team emerged on the battlefield, and the name they once shouted to attract attention became their name.
This group of exceptionally different guys were named Storm Rats.
The rat men are running like a storm, the rat men are raging like a storm.
During a short distance run, the speed of these guys is even faster than that of the giant rats.
The steam engine completely defeated the Horrible Hamster Flywheel, and the technical disagreements born within the Great Claw Priests came to an end.
Mobile war fortress, this form of war equipment began to become more and more important in the wars on both sides.
The Skaven's steam tank has reached its fifth generation, with gears, tracks, and flamethrowers, crossing the ravines on the battlefield, igniting everything in front of it with a sharp roar.
Ordinary rat warriors are gradually unable to cope with such a war. More rat trolls are sent to the battlefield, accompanied by the terrifying steam tanks, attacking the lines of the Ghost Eyes.
Only the Rat Troll can survive the terrifying magic attack.
It was extremely large, and the status of the army composed of ordinary ratmen was constantly declining.
On such a battlefield, their only role is often to hold their own hands tightly amidst the piercing bells after the rat trolls and fire-breathing tanks tore through the enemy's defenses. The spear inside moved forward desperately.
Used to occupy and fill the torn front line to prevent the enemy's counterattack.
The invention of gray stone saved these poor guys.
Being worthless is really a terrible thing in the Rat Man Empire.
Imitating the things in the hands of the Nether-Eye Human Race, a long pole was born in the hands of Gray Stone. Perhaps it was because he was technically unable to compete with the mages of the Nether-Eye Human Race. The long pole in Gray Stone's hand was extremely long, almost It is twice as long as the magic energy gun in the hands of the Youyan people.
The dark barrel is engraved with complex patterns and wrapped in unknown leather. The overly long barrel has brought about a chain reaction. In order to cope with the necessary requirements for structural strength and carrying soul energy, The barrel is cast in one piece and the thickness of the barrel is increased.
Ordinary rat warriors simply cannot operate such a long-barreled rifle alone, so they were forced to form a team of three. One rat man raised the head of the gun, and the other raised the tail of the gun. , one observes the direction of the enemy and assists in aiming.
This imitation has many problems. The too long barrel makes it not portable enough. The too long barrel makes it difficult to deploy in the trench. It is not easy to move and shoot. It is too It was so heavy that it took three rat warriors to control it.
But there is only one point, this long-barreled magic gun imitated by the Rat Man does not have any big problems, the range and power.
These two points are not inferior to the magical firearms of the Youyan people, and even have an advantage in range, and they can actually save the ordinary rat warriors from the increasingly embarrassing situation.
On the long front, you can see the rat-carrying gun team in groups of three everywhere. The observer in the team will suddenly poke his head out of the trench, nervously running through The situation on the battlefield and the direction of the enemy.
After discovering the enemy's position, they will start shouting loudly, and the other two rat men will work together to lift the dark spear out of the trench.
One squatted on the ground, raising the barrel of the gun high, one tried to aim and shoot, and the other pointed fingers at the side.
Until a burst of gray light beams struck, they immediately dropped the spear in their hands in a tacit understanding, and ran away towards the trench behind them, rolling and crawling.
The sporadic exchanges of fire that occurred from time to time were always carried out on the long front of the confrontation between the two sides. A total of three large fronts were opened up.
On that endless plain, this is the home ground of those steam tanks. The tanks from both sides sniped at each other on the vast plain. In the smell of flames and rust, this area was The once fertile land was ruthlessly crushed.
One is in the mountains of Lianyan Province. The rugged mountains limit the use of war equipment. It is also difficult for heavy mechanical tanks to function here. There are a large number of rat trolls and monsters running wildly in the night. The Storm Rats have become the absolute main force in this battlefield.
The two sides are fighting madly around the towering mountains.
The last one, the most chaotic, and the most extensive, is a long position stretching from the northern coast of the Human Empire.
Countless Skaven warships cruising along the coast have brought unspeakable chaos.
A long front was built based on the castles abandoned by the nobles, and the ratmen participating in this front were even more diverse.
Sheng Qi’s Western Fleet, the rat legion composed of dumb rat men, the rat mercenaries mixed with good and bad, the slave catching team, and some despicable guys who hope to change their destiny through war.
Sheng Qi lost control of the Western fleet, creating such a chaotic situation.
Without a complete commander to suppress the ratmen gathered here, the situation would naturally get out of control, and all the ratmen would be able to reach here.
There are also rat priests involved.
These damn guys are the real troublemakers. Even if Sheng Qi cooperated with them to snatch back part of the share of blood mushrooms produced in the original temple from the temple guards, after all, they gave them a large amount of shares. Run.
But these guys didn't take Sheng Qi's feelings into consideration at all when they did this.
A large number of rat caravans began to sell so-called ship tickets. In simple words, they described the distant coast as a place where the second great development was underway.
Countless ratmen were directly packed into crowded battleships after paying for a so-called summons.
I was thrown onto this battlefield in a jolt.
Yes, there are indeed many opportunities here, but this battlefield should have been opened by me as a ladder for me to accumulate merit.
Instead of being profited by these damn rat priests like now, these guys dumped those despicable guys on the main continent like garbage, telling the story of the so-called great development.
Actually, you earn a fortune of blood mushrooms from selling boat tickets, you earn a fortune from selling weapons to those lowly guys, and you earn another fortune from blood mushrooms from buying the trophies of those guys.
Earn it from start to finish for almost nothing.
On the contrary, he was left with an extremely chaotic battlefield.
It can be said that Sheng Qi hates these greedy, stupid, short-sighted rat priests with itch, but there is nothing he can do.
No matter how hard he grinds his teeth secretly, he will always smile on the surface.
On that long coastline, the Storm Rats became the absolute protagonists. The vast area greatly dispersed the intensity of the war, and they would not be piled up like a meat grinder like the other two battlefields. brutal positional warfare.
And more of them are offensive and defensive wars relying on strong castles and fortresses, or long-distance raids across the enemy's front line.
These are exactly the strengths of Storm Rats.
In the three battlefields with full force, countless ratmen were worn out on the battlefield every day, but the ratman empire became more and more prosperous.
In death, this twisted and deformed country is progressing rapidly.
Not only the changes on the battlefield, but also many things happened outside the battlefield and changed many things.
The rat people have completed the development of the golden province.
After the scarlet color completely infected the land, the rat people officially replaced the Dark Eye people as the real masters of the land.
The temple guards have been exploring the scarlet transformation of the vast grassland a long time ago.
They found the reason, although they did not know the deeper principle of it all, and attributed it to divine grace.
In this golden province lined with ruins, temples were built one after another. A large number of goblins and human prisoners transported from the front were beheaded on the altar, and their blood flowed into the blood pool. middle.
Let it sit for a while.
The still bright red blood will be splashed all over this land.
The sprouting trees were dyed scarlet, and the once large wheat fields began to climb with a bit of red weeds. Occasionally, one or two wheats poked their heads out of the earth, and the ears of wheat were also covered with red. A different kind of bright red.
Goblins were released in this area.
In this strange environment, these guys are running around, and the rat people are not interested in these guys most of the time.
They are entrenched underground and in the tangled ruins.
If you only look at the situation on the surface, you would even think that this scarlet is inseparable from those whiny and scummy Goblins, thinking that they are the masters of this land.
Until the day of harvest comes.
Ratman farmers, large and small, appeared from all over, harvesting the mature crops.
Farmers’ farming techniques have made certain progress.
They will now take the initiative to create a suitable growing environment for their crops, dig out rivers, plant more suitable pasture shrubs, and purchase some of the lowest quality cave mushrooms to replenish their crops.
Moving towards a more intensive production model.
The Ratmen in the Golden Province developed rapidly. In the second year of the war, they already had enough energy to supply slave rats and a certain number of Ratmen warriors to the frontline battlefields.
However, it is normal to develop quickly. After all, the Golden Province is now one of the areas closest to the war in the area controlled by the rat people. With the dividends brought by the cruel war, such a development speed is not surprising. things.
In fact, it was not just the Golden Province that reaped the dividends of the war. On Hurricane Island, a huge port city rose from the ground. This was a young rat city, and it was a rare one. In order to better maintain the surface city for the Skaven warships arriving here, and also taking into account the unfavorable excavation conditions on the island, the Big Claw Priest who built this city built this hurricane port into a surface city. .
The young city also prospered as the war progressed.
Tall chimneys, huge hoisting machines, small and crowded living areas, everything is a bit messy, probably because this city did not expect to become such a prosperous city in the early days of its construction. .
All this happened in three years.
