Chapter 402, The fate of the Eldar reconnaissance ship
These rioting slave rats are much more difficult to deal with than imagined.
Maybe these guys are not normal.
A large number of sluggish, zombie-like guys holding strange-looking weapons collided with the rat mercenaries on the battlefield. Even if they killed a group, they could quickly swarm again. Once a batch comes out, it seems like there is no limit.
Extremely tricky and difficult to deal with.
Forced, the rat mercenaries also had to add more troops to the battlefield, and began to ask for more blood mushrooms from the big rat merchants.
Otherwise, they would have retreated on the spot and allowed these slave rats to wreak havoc in a larger area.
It cannot be said that there is no morality in doing so. They are mercenaries, a group of guys running wildly for the blood mushrooms. Those guys paid for the blood mushrooms, but they participated in the war and then did not assume any more responsibilities. , and will not make any more contributions.
Those rat merchants in Wasteland City completely cut off the military and converted it into a pure employment system. This is the price to be paid. Of course, in doing so, they gave up a lot of supplies to the army in peacetime. Maintenance costs also push the price of a war to an extremely expensive level.
The rat merchants gritted their teeth and gave out more blood mushrooms.
Of course, this blood mushroom may not mean anything to them, but who would be willing to be taken advantage of, and the price to be paid this time has not yet been settled.
Long term investment still awaits them.
More rat mercenaries broke into the rolling hills and began to strangle each other with the rioting slave rats.
In fact, this war is nothing. The only special point is that it happened in the rolling hills, which is closer to the Waste City.
On that route, it was really a mess at this time.
The rat free people who occupied a large area of independent islands relied on the experience accumulated from the ocean development to piece together a fleet and put out a Western fleet that was stationed on the coastline of the subcontinent. Caught off guard.
A large number of warships sank, and the rest retreated to the port.
Making things even more confusing, under the orders of these big rat merchants, the rat fleet stationed on the main continent began to withdraw, completely ignoring the sadistic rat pirates, and decided to Take the lead in dealing with these rioting free rat people.
There is something very interesting about this.
The Western Fleet, so far, still belongs to Sheng Qi in name, but looking at it now, there seems to be some doubts about whose command it listens to and which party it is commanded by.
It's just that it's not surprising.
After all, this is not the first time these guys have done this.
The price of goods in Waste City has increased significantly, which comes from the chaos derived from the three battlefields and also from the sea route that was temporarily cut off.
On the inside, things seemed not that simple. Once again, a large number of slave rats were sold out. In such a turmoil, it was the rat slave owners who were the first to be hit hard.
Among them, some guys are operating secretly.
As for why you should do this.
Two months later, when the first steam line to Furnace City was dropped in Waste City, the situation became clear.
These guys showed an awe-inspiring look, releasing a large number of slave rats as cheap labor in the city, and driving those rat slave owners bankrupt in order to transfer such a huge amount of wealth Stay in Waste City, stay in your own city, instead of letting them rush to Furnace City through the opened steam line to use as fuel for your old enemy.
In the Scarlet Grassland, cities are rising from the ground, and the rat people once again occupy every corner of the land.
The leader of the temple guards did not restore the structure of these rat cities that could operate independently, but instead incorporated these cities that were connected through the transportation network into part of the super city of Furnace City.
Metal smelting, parts casting, ore mining, and goblin grazing.
He released a large number of workshops that were originally gathered in the Crucible City and placed these things in these cities.
And for the first time, the concept of professional ratmen was proposed.
All this can ensure that these cities and such a huge piece of land can be mobilized efficiently as soon as they are needed.
Although such a plan seems to have no greater effect at present.
After all, even if more people are mobilized, what will they be used for, war?
The war has stalled for a long time.
Let all be bound, peace, peace, peace, no enemies, all be bound.
So, since there is such peace now, why is there such a drastic integration?
All this seems to be preparation for war.
The Rat Man's self-destructive tendencies have become increasingly intense.
Conflicts cannot be suppressed forever.
However, before everything exploded, the turning point came.
Never-ending fighting broke out in these small low mountains. As more blood mushrooms were invested, more and more rat mercenaries poured into this battlefield, rioting against the slave rats. The space for activities has become increasingly narrow.
In the end, these guys were trapped on these low mountains.
A large number of rat mercenaries were eyeing them.
The combat effectiveness of the rat mercenaries is not bad. After all, many of them have fought in the battle that destroyed the human kingdom.
Although they are indeed not good at fighting in large groups, in comparison, these slave rats are even less good at fighting in large groups.
A variety of war equipment, extremely complex firepower, a steady stream of tests, and a crumbling defense line.
Finally.
Today, the rat mercenaries tore through the defense lines of the rioting slave rats.
A large number of rat mercenaries armed with various strange magic firearms and covered with various things excitedly began to advance.
To be honest, these messy rat mercenaries are more like a rioting party than the uniformly equipped slave rats.
This war of suppression is about to reach its final moment.
The excited rat mercenaries began to charge without any scruples, and began to swarm along the torn defense line.
Gift Rat, he once again came to the beam of light that disgusted him, and he started shouting loudly.
Obviously, if you don’t want to wait and be hoisted high.
He didn't want to face such a result.
After all, too many times, he had witnessed this scene too many times. On the rope stained with dark red spots, slave rats were hung high one by one.
He doesn’t want to be a part of this scene.
Then, the choices you can make are obvious.
He named himself Gift, but he was willing to plead with the heretics in order to survive.
Now, the question is, is he valuable to the Eldar who visit this planet?
The answer is cruel.
No.
Yes, no. What attracts those Eldar is the soul gem, which is the ether crystal, but it is not his gift rat.
This is a very realistic situation.
The poor guy could only watch the colorful beam of light in front of him fade away.
Besides, the sounds of chaos and noise are getting louder and louder. Those excited rat mercenaries and those waving nooses are getting closer and closer to the top of this short mountain. Close.
Obviously, he was getting closer and closer to the ending he feared, being hung high by the rope stained with dark red spots.
The saddest thing is that until now, this guy has not figured out what he wants.
Becoming a ratman priest and obtaining the gift of the gods is what many ratmen desire. If it can come true, it will be enough to drive many ratmen crazy.
But this is only the first half of the surging desire.
Becoming a ratman priest is for the blood mushrooms, and for those despicable guys who lower their heads unnaturally when they see me.
Obtaining the gift from the gods is for a longer life, for worshiping devoutly day and night, and for leaping high directly after such a gift.
Instead of simply becoming a rat priest, it is to become a rat priest. In order to obtain the gift of the gods, it is also to become a rat priest.
Times are moving forward, and even desires are becoming inflationary.
Obviously, since he was sent out of the crowded breeding house, he has been digging in the dark mine day and night. He has not kept up with the times.
Not enough, his desire is not hot enough, and he cannot even laugh crazily before facing death.
With red eyes and low roars, the rat mercenaries had already swarmed up the low mountain.
A pair of eyes fell on the gift rat, with various meanings.
Obviously, this guy thought wrong. He probably wouldn't be hanged on the spot. Those big rat businessmen had offered an extra reward for this ungrateful guy. He definitely wouldn't be hanged on the spot. On this hill.
Perhaps he will be taken back and hung high in the waste city.
This is what those big rat merchants want.
It's just that they made some mistakes.
A beam of extremely bright light fell from the sky, carrying the light and heat like the sun, and landed on the low mountain. In an instant, the white light engulfed the low mountain. When everything dispersed, this low hill had been smoothed out.
This almost unimaginable picture comes from a warship hiding its figure in the sky, and from the greedy urging.
The Eldar reconnaissance ship has been repaired. At the moment when these rioting slave rats were about to be destroyed, the tall captain made the decision to retreat and prepare for a subspace jump.
However, the operator responsible for controlling the weapons of the reconnaissance ship did not seem to think so.
Their captain was too cowardly, and the ether crystals they collected were far from enough.
Yes, these ether crystals, these ether crystals accumulated in the center of the ship's cockpit, are enough to make every crew member on this reconnaissance ship live an unimaginable life, but it is not enough. , this is far from enough.
They could have felt that the dangers posed by this planet and those strange-looking natives did not reach that unimaginable level.
But their captain is surprisingly cautious. They are not that group of protective weirdos, and they will not think much about these natives.
There are so many ether crystals, and even in this war, these stupid natives used their extremely inferior weapons to burn these ether crystals at will.
But they could only bring back this much.
Many crew members on the reconnaissance ship were extremely dissatisfied with the captain at this point.
No one is satisfied with just getting this.
After all, for them, the opportunity may be only this one.
No matter how many awards the elders gave them in the end, it was impossible for them to touch the ether crystals on this planet again.
Ever since, in the surging greed, a solo trip happened with the tacit consent of many crew members on the reconnaissance ship.
When the reconnaissance ship was about to take off, the weapons operator did not hesitate to mobilize the main gun on the reconnaissance ship, a small light spear.
The surging high-energy particles flooded the low mountain, destroying everything on the low mountain, and truly exposed the figures of these Eldar.
Amidst the surging high-energy particles, the reconnaissance ship's mimicry mode was forced to shut down, and a flat, crescent-like thing appeared in the eyes of all the ratmen in the area.
Accompanied by the disappearing low mountain not far away and the rat people swarming up the low mountain.
These rat mercenaries fell into a daze. It was obvious that they did not fully understand what happened.
Just such a reaction did not satisfy the guy in the rat-man reconnaissance ship who decided to go alone.
Another beam of scorching light fell from the sky and streaked across the earth. A large number of rat men dissipated in this terrifying white light.
Fear, fear naturally arises.
The rat mercenaries did not show that kind of perseverance or anger. They were just a group of guys who got paid to do things, and they often behaved extremely sincerely.
While shouting in panic, he started running wildly, and suddenly the situation became chaotic.
This situation finally satisfied the greedy guy in the scout ship.
He stood up.
Said loudly to the tall figure on the console.
“Look, Captain, these guys are not as dangerous as you think, we don’t need to be so careful!”
This was a solo walk, not a true rebellion.
The greed did not go to this guy's head after all.
He raised his arms high, and on the screen behind him were the rat mercenaries running away.
Of course this was a form of coercion. All the other crew members on the field fell silent, but their eyes were focused on the tall figure on the command platform.
Obviously.
This guy who was blinded by greed didn't know what he would face.
After all, the guy they considered an unimaginable creature was still watching this planet.
Okay, it might be that dangerous, after all, Du Yuan is not really planning to take action.
With Du Yuan not taking action, these guys are indeed in trouble.
In terms of pure destructive ability, these guys can already compete with those demigods who have been entangled with Du Yuan for a long time.
But this time Du Yuan would not help the rat people deal with this matter.
Then a problem arises.
Do the rat people have what it takes to deal with these guys?
