Chapter 403, The Living Ship
Unknown.
But what is certain is that the appearance of the Eldar reconnaissance fleet caused a sensation in the entire Skaven Empire.
For the first time, this news was brought back by the rat assassins.
Not long after the last rat council meeting ended, the rat council members quickly gathered.
They were still arguing with each other in the chaos.
Only this time, not all the Rat Councilors are so confident.
Such an attack was indeed too terrifying. The Ratmen had experienced such an attack during that grand grassland melee and when they marched towards the main continent.
The attacker seemed to be a demigod.
The rat people have indeed destroyed many races and countries, but they have never really raised weapons against a heretical god.
It's normal to have concerns.
Coming from those big rat merchants, after all, if they really want to wield their weapons against those guys who are suspected of being heretical evil gods, then Waste City must be the first to bear the brunt.
Weighing the pros and cons of interests for a long time will make people lose courage.
This sentence is extremely suitable for these former senior priests.
Sheng Qi and the temple guards have the toughest attitudes.
Skaven will not bow to heretical gods.
Never.
These big rat merchants are hesitant, but whether this war will break out is beyond their control.
The first ones to be jumped were the rat-man pilgrims. In the chaos, a group of people gathered together, and the guys who prepared various weapons gathered together like this.
At the same time, the meeting ended, and Sheng Qi prepared a sacrifice in the original temple, hoping to call for the help of the Cold Soul Giant Bell.
Not long ago, the cold soul giant bell that had just performed miracles. Apparently, a ceremony not long ago made the guys in the Underground Rat City suddenly discover that the artifact that had been displayed in the original temple for a long time did not just ring on time every day. Take a look, such a function.
It's just a pity that Lenghun Juzhong didn't pay attention to Sheng Qi's cry. It can't be said that he won't give face, I can only say that he won't give any face at all.
For a while, there was a bit more dilemma.
But unexpectedly, Sheng Qi did not choose to shrink his head like those guys in Wasteland City, but began to mobilize the power in his hands.
He seemed to want to rush to the rolling hills to participate in this possible holy war.
Although he didn't have any suitable cards in his hand.
No, maybe not necessarily not.
After all, there are many sacred things, and these things are now placed in the original temple.
If these things can really be taken out, indeed, Sheng Qi will no longer be afraid of this possible heretical god.
But how should I put it, this request was refuted immediately.
In the eyes of those loyal priests who are like antiques, I am afraid that all the bones of Sheng Qi, the high priest, are not as important as those few holy objects.
When the bow is drawn, there is no turning back arrow.
The longer Sheng Qi stayed in the position of high priest, the more he understood the importance of something to him.
That is the favor of God.
On this day, Sheng Qi mobilized the power he had cultivated in the Underground Rat City over the years.
A slightly green rat-man army, composed entirely of fanatics, could be seen to have the intention of trying to imitate the temple guards. Of course, they were far inferior to the temple guards.
Assemble various weapons.
Among these various messy holy objects, Sheng Qi brought out the only one that could be fully controlled by him.
A battle flag.
The blessed battle flag of the Western Expeditionary Force is still so sacred, with the image of Sheng Qi leading the Western Expeditionary Force running wildly imprinted on the flag.
But now, times have changed.
Even the Western Fleet, which evolved from the Western Expeditionary Force, is no longer completely controlled by Sheng Qi. This battle flag should actually correspond to the Western Fleet.
Looking at his own shadow on this flag, I wonder if Sheng Qi is still satisfied with who he is today.
Witnessed by this sacred battle flag, behind Shengqi, countless rat warriors boarded the train that was puffing out dark smoke.
………….
Among all the forces in the Rat Man Empire, the temple guards were truly seriously preparing to wield their weapons against the possible heretical god.
Twin Fortresses.
The huge skeletal bell hanging on the Twin Fortresses was dismantled in a smear of blood. It will be taken to the battlefield. At the same time, the scarlet magic eye that was immersed in the depths of the sea was also dismantled. Drag it out.
All this is operated by the most loyal temple guards.
At the same time, on the determined transportation route, a group of temple guards set off first and began to clear the area.
All this is to prevent the heresy from spreading in the Rat Empire.
In order to prevent this scarlet magic eye from contaminating the faith of the great gods.
Just to avoid such a situation, why did the temple guards fish the scarlet evil eye out of the deep sea again?
It can only be said that even the temple guards adhere to the simplest pragmatism.
Over the years, they conducted many rounds of experiments on this scarlet magic eye, and finally found a way to use it as a weapon.
As for whether using such things to fight is considered sacrilege.
The temple guards’ answer was very direct.
Of course not.
After all, this is their trophy. After they defeated these twisted heretics, they used them to fight. How can this be considered a blasphemy? These heretics themselves are my achievements!
Under the guidance of such simple thoughts, the Scarlet Magic Eye was put into a complex restraint device by the temple guards, and was completely wrapped in a metal shell and rotating gears. stand up.
Of course, these things can't stop the weird murmur from echoing around the Scarlet Demonic Eye, but it doesn't matter.
Only the most devout temple guards will be qualified to control this magic eye.
Pious faith will help them resist the murmur of blasphemy.
Of course, if these most loyal guards fall, then sending him to the altar can correct such deviations and mistakes.
After the gears were riveted one by one, and the complex metal shell was poured with hot molten iron.
This scarlet magic eye turned into a ferocious weapon with a different kind of grotesque beauty. However, the temple guards did not immediately come to verify the power of this ferocious weapon. They loaded it on a steam train and they were about to transport it to the front line for use as a weapon. Fight against possible heretical gods.
With a clanging sound, the steam train disappeared into the dark and deep tunnel.
The temple guards have also begun their own preparations.
These most elite and powerful warriors in the Skaven Empire stand on the platform deep underground, waiting for the arrival of another steam train, preparing to attack the heretical gods that may appear.
The rat people have still accumulated some knowledge, although in most cases, they can only be regarded as those extraordinarily fierce primitive people, for those serious starry races. But after all, there were many gods walking on this planet in the past, and divine wars also broke out.
As the final victors, the rat people still have a lot of messy things in their hands.
Although I don’t know if these things can give the visiting Eldar a surprise.
The most panicked people at this time should be the guys in Waste City.
That group of big businessmen, the former senior rat priests, they also had the same idea of acquiring those sacred objects as Sheng Qi, but it is a pity that for those loyalists, Sheng Qi can only be regarded as Damn it, let alone them.
Don't have any idea, none of the holy objects will leave the Underground Rat City.
For a moment, this time it’s numb claws.
Obviously, they did not expect that such a simple riot would involve such a big trouble.
Just asking them to make a qualified response now is also difficult.
The only option is to sprinkle a large amount of blood mushrooms and hire one after another rat mercenaries to gather around the Waste City.
In this situation, some things finally became possible.
Just like the crazy golden cannon of the Gear Sect.
These crazy guys are going to completely hollow out the dead golden oak tree and completely transform it to create an unparalleled cannon.
Perhaps after this crazy cannon is cast, it can provide the current Wasteland City and these big rat businessmen with more confidence.
But unfortunately, this crazy plan was interrupted by them.
Even if it passes now, water from far away will not be able to quench the thirst for nearness.
These guys are not idiots, they will not pray to the heretic gods to distinguish them from those who will arrive later.
It is even more impossible to kneel down and worship the heretic god.
Not to mention that they were originally sacrifices to great gods. Not long ago, great gods had performed miracles.
Now, there is no other way but to wait, waiting for the final result, in panic.
But what these extremely frightened guys may not know is that their great god is actually watching here at this moment.
Even, he even met the greedy beast that was condensed in Wasteland City not long ago.
In a chaotic world.
The indescribable beast, with its greedy and sweet golden light all over its body, came to life under Du Yuan's gaze, and its instinct was to bare its teeth and claws at Du Yuan.
It can only be said that he is truly a beast.
Soon, after the greedy beast saw Du Yuan clearly, in the endless fear, it whimpered in fear like a wild dog, wishing to escape from here immediately.
It just can't be done.
Du Yuan grabbed him into his hands.
He looked sleepily at the grotesque beast in his hand.
"Is it the embodiment of greed? No, it seems to be the embodiment of the city, a kind of natural god? And it is also severely stunted?"
Amid the murmur, the greedy beast in Du Yuan's hand shrank into a ball in fear.
Du Yuan fell into thinking. If it was the evil god who was born or something else, he would probably crush him to death like a fly.
But this greedy beast is not up to this level. It is more like a reflection of the rat man's surging greed in the chaotic world, and it is also highly bound to the Waste City. It can be regarded as a trend of thought. materialization.
If Du Yuan squeezes this beast to death, then the fanatical worship of money in the waste city may be able to cool down.
But Du Yuan was not prepared to do this.
With a casual toss, the whimpering beast was thrown back to its original position.
Money worship, greed, and business trends, these are the choices made by the rat people themselves.
Du Yuan will not interfere.
Unless this greedy beast continues to transform and begins to actively guide all of this, it is probably impossible.
He can't do this greedy beast.
Du Yuan is the god of desire. If he stands here, all desires in this area will be anchored by him.
No matter what the desire is, it will only belong to him.
This is also the reason why this beast of desire is so malnourished. Originally, it was born with the strong greed of the Rat Man and was going to be born as a demigod.
But Du Yuan's existence swallowed up the greed that it relied on for survival, forcing it to be born in a state of ideological urbanization and become an unintelligent beast.
Du Yuan was not prepared to help the rat people fight against this visiting spirit tribe.
No matter how tragic the casualties this group of noisy guys will cause.
This is something they have to face by themselves.
If you want to get out of this small world, then these things have to be faced.
In the chaotic world, in the cold scarlet sun, the tall god sitting on the throne of bones calmly watched all this happen.
………….
In the rolling hills, this solo walk has come to an end.
The tall captain, who still maintained her objections, was shut into her quarters by her crew.
These guys who have been overshadowed by greed are determined to harvest the indigenous races on this planet no matter what.
In the captain's cabin.
The tall captain who was sitting upright looked at the screen in front of him and suddenly spoke.
"Are you really ready?"
She knew what it could hear. The terminal in the captain's room was different from the terminal in any crew room. It could directly connect to the reconnaissance ship. The ship is controlled by AI.
But, generally speaking, the control AI is just a set of rigid auxiliary programs, and will never respond to such complex words.
But now, things have changed.
A vague shadow appeared in front of the tall captain.
Some vague characters also slowly jumped out in front of her.
“Any attempt is subject to risks. I need to evolve!”
In response, the captain snorted coldly and did not make any more changes. Lots of questions and arguments.
The current situation cannot be controlled by her. After all, no matter how experienced the captain is, there is no way to resist a living ship.
