Chapter 401, The World Transformed into a Cage
A thin slave rat was dancing on the top of a low mountain. In front of him, a large number of soul gems were piled up.
He was bargaining.
Facing the beam of light cast from the sky in front of me.
Towards a group of things that I don’t know what they are.
The hand behind the slave rat riot finally showed signs.
A beam of light, a hazy silver beam of light.
Incredible, like a miracle. Of course, this incredible is only for those who have not left the planet or have not dealt with the spirit race. In fact, this beam has another A more understandable name.
Tractor beam.
The anti-gravity module loaded by the spacecraft is projected to make it easier to load materials into the spacecraft.
At this time, the Eldar in the spacecraft once again let out bursts of cheers.
After boxes of ether crystals were put into the spacecraft, all they needed to pay were some brainwashing devices, some learning devices, and various ancient beam weapons that could be printed out in batches.
All this requires no effort and only requires the input of raw materials. The nano production station that exists as emergency maintenance equipment can produce these in large quantities.
Although what arrived here was only an Eldar reconnaissance ship, a small auxiliary spacecraft that was insignificant to the Eldar race, in fact, this spacecraft actually had a dominant first-level civilization. The ability to move towards.
If it weren’t for the things read from the memory, it would be too terrifying.
They only need to show up in the capital of the Skaven Empire. With the spaceship shield being almost impossible for the Skaven to penetrate, they can easily crush the entire Skaven Empire.
But now, not only did they not do this, but they only dared to come into contact with these rioting slave rats as if they were avoiding something, hiding their heads and showing their tails.
Some of the scenes seen from the rat priest who was sent to the sky and frozen into popsicles were really horrifying.
Involving the origin of the ether satellite and the ether comet.
It is hard to imagine that these two things were fabricated by an indescribable creature, whose history is still very young, and given as a gift to the rat people on this planet.
It is unbelievable that a creature called a god could do such a thing.
Subsequently, their detection of the ether comet confirmed the authenticity of the extracted memory fragments. The ether comet was too young, and the same was true for the ether satellite.
As for their follow-up landing operation on the ether satellite, when the reconnaissance ship approached the faint blue comet, it couldn't help but become disabled. Everything would have stopped. If they hadn't reacted quickly, , quickly distanced themselves, fearing that they were about to fall to the ether satellite and die.
All of this seems to support what was recorded in the memory fragment.
It also made them become cautious.
In fact, there is no need to be so careful. The incapacitation they suffered when they were close to the Soul Moon was not due to Du Yuan's setting for the Soul Moon that was unique to the rat people.
It was just that the overwhelming soul energy interfered with the control system of their scout ship.
It is also strange to say that Du Yuan also discovered some interesting things after destroying several so-called arks in the chaotic space.
The real core of these Eldar warships, the control system of the warship is not a complete mechanical creation, but has a living state. It seems that the artificial soul is the kind that can make all the gods of death jump up in an instant. Techniques for defeating rebels.
Then the reason why these Eldar warships cannot approach the Soul Moon is very clear.
These too weak artificial souls cannot withstand such an impact. With such a terrifying size as the Soul Moon, just by getting closer, the radiation alone will kill the main control AI of the reconnaissance sword.
But these Eldar crew members don’t know this. They only think that it is really like the frantic murmuring in the soul fragment of the rat priest. This is the god, the unimaginable terrifying life, specializing in The gifts prepared for them are gifts that are unique to them.
Ever since, such euphemistic exploration and modification began.
The captain of this reconnaissance ship did not forget that she was only driving a reconnaissance ship, and the reconnaissance ship also did not forget that he was only a reconnaissance ship.
They are not the main force of the Eldar, and they are not even qualified to be a decent tentacle.
When encountering such an almost unreasonable situation, it is no longer fabricated, but seems to be the real god. They are simply not qualified to touch and deal with it. As long as they take the situation here back after completing the repairs, then What they had to do was done.
This was a decision jointly made by the captain and the ship. They were quite certain. On the contrary, the other crew members on the reconnaissance ship were a little more ready to take action.
After all, just one piece of ether crystal is enough to change their destiny. And now, the ether crystals on this planet cannot be said to be everywhere, but it can also be said to be rich to a certain extent.
Although the captain and the ship were also afraid of the hidden god, they also longed for these precious gems.
Ever since, the first formal contact between the Eldar and the Skaven began in such an awkward manner.
It seems that the first contact they threw at the slave rat leader took some thought.
The beam of light falling from the sky is hard not to suspect that it imitated the situations of several bounties recorded in the history of the rat people.
Sure enough, the first time they came into contact with the rioting slave rat leader, the thin slave rat was extremely frightened and kept kowtowing until suddenly, he seemed to realize something.
Became furious, roared loudly, and even tried to attack the tractor beam in front of him.
The first contact ended in a very bleak situation.
The reason is also that these spiritual tribes are inevitably stunned.
When the tractor beam fell, the rioting slave rat leader wanted to beg for a favor in his frenzy.
What he wants is not something very complicated and difficult, it is even extraordinarily simple. He wants to become a rat priest.
Well, during his long career as a slave rat, his biggest wish seemed to be just to become a rat priest at the beginning. Perhaps during the period when he was still a slave rat, this wish was even greater. To be humble, it might just be to become a Great Claw Priest.
But these spiritual tribes will never be able to provide this.
As expected, the slave rat leader became furious. This tractor beam and the guy behind it were beaten into heretics by him. If the tractor beam hadn't been attacked, I'm afraid this guy would have been on the spot. Just dare to rush over and bite.
Such a bleak first contact made the Eldar look bad, but fortunately, a group of rat mercenaries who came here to suppress them gave them a chance.
These rioting slave rats were beaten until they were running away with their heads in their hands, and they were about to be captured and used as goods to be sold again.
At this time, the real contact finally begins.
The Eldar provided weapons and equipment to the rioting slave rats, and the rioting slave rats handed over all the soul gems they obtained along the way to these guys.
On that hill, after delivering several boxes of soul gems, all kinds of things kept appearing and piled up into a hill.
But the expression of the slave rat leader was not happy, and the gaze that fell on the tractor beam in front of him had a different kind of ferocity.
This is a paranoid guy, extremely paranoid.
His wishes, goals, and what he wants to get seem to have never changed. He wants to be a Skaven Priest.
This is something that doesn't seem that difficult, but is almost impossible to obtain.
Those who can become a Skaven Priest will become a Skaven Priest, and those who cannot become one will always be like that.
It's a bit confusing, but it's true. Only those who can become rat priests can become rat priests. No matter how much they kneel down and worship those who can't, it's just a waste.
But he seemed unwilling to do so.
He just wants to be a rat priest.
In that riot, they were almost unable to survive and ran in the dark. He was not the initiator, but just followed the guys around him. In the unreasonable anger, the guys around him fell one by one. I don’t know. Before he knew it, he rushed to the front and rushed in front of that damn Big Claw Priest.
At that time, he did not hesitate to put the spear in his hand into the chest of that damn guy, watching him struggle and fall, the slave rats around him rushed over, and he was high up Lifting it up, he became the leader of this group of guys.
Just after that chaotic night, he fell into deep confusion.
What was he going to do? On the ruins, he was thinking about this question.
Soon, he came up with the answer.
He wants to be a Skaven Priest.
This is a very simple wish, but how to achieve it.
After another period of thinking, he got the answer from the murmurs of several elderly guys.
The history of the Skaven is far more than just spread among the patterns engraved on the stone slabs of the temple neatly arranged by the temple guards. It is also spread through word of mouth among many Skaven, evolving into one person after another. vague stories and legends.
Among them, there are many such descriptions.
Get the gift from the gods and become a great guy.
He is currently walking on such a path.
So, he started to take action. After conquering another border rat city, the old slave rats asked him to give himself a name, and then he gave himself a name.
He is called the Gift Rat. The purpose of giving this name is clear at a glance.
But how to get the gift is still so confusing.
But his instinct was to feel that he needed more slave rats, more slave rats, so a riot began to spread.
Extraordinarily random, this commotion seemed to be very consistent with the rat people's temperament.
This is how all the mess started.
But it will end in blood and fire.
With all these things, facing the next suppression and the rat mercenaries rushing here, there is some suspense about who will win and who will lose.
But how to obtain the gift?
This is still a question that has no answer yet.
This guy named himself Enci, he murmured about it day and night.
………….
As the suppressive war was about to begin, the temple guards also came to cause trouble for the rat merchants in the waste city.
The fall of the mining cities in the rolling hills suddenly made various resources in the waste city become scarce, so the sea passage also became particularly important.
Now, the offensive and defensive momentum is different, and the pirates are beginning to abuse again.
For a time, the rat merchants were even more distressed.
In such chaos.
The Rat Empire reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief from the peace again.
At least, at this time, these big figures in the Rat Man Empire still had the strength to curse loudly in the Rat Man Council.
Although the west coast of the main continent is currently in a state of chaos, those guys who were tricked by the ratmen in Wasteland City and are about to lose their pants are also extremely angry and begin to capture a building on the waterway. An island was built to recover the losses. At the same time, the suppressive war was about to begin, and the riots that were happening everywhere showed no signs of stopping.
But it doesn’t matter, everything is so peaceful.
The Rat Man Empire is still thriving today!
In this meeting, these big figures in the Skaven Empire determined some issues.
1. Unify steam track standards everywhere.
Two, build more steam rail networks.
Third, open up the network between cities.
Fourth, the manned steam train was officially opened.
A series of topics were held around the steam train, which seemed to indicate these guys' attitudes towards some things.
Everyone is tacitly avoiding the civil war, but at the same time they tend to further expand the circulation within the Ratman Empire. This is a strategy that everyone can benefit from.
These issues were passed with full speed.
Everything is indeed moving towards prosperity.
These greedy guys are forced to adapt to this peaceful era.
This small world turned planet is indeed a little too small. It can no longer accommodate the growing number of rat people, and it is gradually becoming a cage.
But fortunately, the rat people probably will not be trapped on this small planet like the fate of most races, constantly making compromises, or repeating wars to self-destruct until they perish.
Their gods have prepared a ladder for them.
And encouraged them to walk towards the stars.
They will not be trapped in this cage for long.
Although I don’t know why these noisy guys are favored like this.
