Chapter 404, Ratman High Priest
The hot light spear washes the earth like the sun. Wherever it passes, the rocks and soil are melted into hot and viscous magma. After solidification, the magma will probably Turn into that beautiful glass.
The regular troops of the Skaven, the first group of pilgrims to arrive in this area, were massacred without any ability to resist.
The Eldar reconnaissance ship, this visiting outsider, is hanging high in the sky without any disguise at this time.
These guys did not leave, let alone rush to the major big cities of the rat people. Those big rat merchants in the waste city can rest assured for the time being. They are just hovering high in the sky openly, seeming to be waiting for the rats. A gathering of people.
This is a manifestation of arrogance and a strategy to suppress indigenous civilization.
Use the most visually impactful way to completely subdue the natives of the expropriated planet, defeat all resistance of these guys, and show the gap between the two sides in the most intuitive way.
Generally, at this point, there is nothing to worry about. The natives will often take the initiative to bow to you at this time, and even worse, they will even take the initiative to kneel down and worship you.
These Eldar used the methods they used to deal with other natives on the Skaven.
I have to admit that this is an effective strategy and the most efficient strategy.
Destroying cities, burning strongholds, and destroying kingdoms is certainly a more efficient form of violence, but it will also cause the natives to flee in all directions on the planet. In this way, you can only rely on yourself. Come and do something on this planet.
However, unexpectedly, the rat people are more tenacious than these lonely Eldar imagined.
Those rat-man fanatic believers are still gathering here in a steady stream, and then repeat the almost unchanged results.
After gathering to a certain amount, the vastness was easily burned into beautiful glass along with the surface earth of the planet by the scorching heat.
But this situation seems to be changing.
Because a larger army of rat men gathered over.
That seems to be an army led by the leader of these guys.
That is the Holy War Army pulled out by Rope Seven.
After observing this, they decided to take good care of Sheng Qi. Perhaps when the hot light spear passed by the indigenous leader, it would melt his proud army. Cheng Glass, at this time, he may have other decisions, he may be willing to cooperate with their actions and give them what they want.
As the wheels of the steam train whirled, Sheng Qi and his jihadist army gradually gathered on the hills.
During this period of time, the rat assassins kept telling him what was happening ahead. It was obvious that what he was about to face represented death. Those smoothed hills and the colorful traces smeared on the ground were like this. A little testimony.
But Sheng Qi did not show too obvious fear.
Although he, the rat-man high priest, needs to balance all parties before he can be truly recognized.
But no matter what, he is the new generation of high priest of the rat people.
Sheng Qi is much calmer than before, and he is more serious in speech. He is no longer the young priest who shivered during the charge, nor is he the man who shouted crazily at sea. Young leader.
Unknowingly, he did have that kind of magnanimity, like a true commander-in-chief.
The steam train stopped, and light penetrated into the tunnel buried deep underground.
What appears in front of you is a section of glass wall with mottled brilliance. This place was affected by the attack of the heretic god not long ago. The underground tunnel was cut off and the driveway was also interrupted.
Amidst the cheers, many slave rats and Big Claw Priests have begun working in this area. They are repairing this damaged road.
Another section of the underground tunnel has been dug. The light that penetrates into the underground tunnel comes from this excavated part. The slave rats are waving the manuscripts in their hands vigorously. The mottled glass wall was being chipped and smashed.
The march cannot be interrupted.
The steel door was slowly opened as the gears turned. Sheng Qi walked out of the cabin at the front of the steam locomotive. He was carrying his battle flag. Behind him, as the cabin doors opened, countless The rat men filed out of the steam train and gathered behind Sheng Qi.
In front of Sheng Qi, a slave rat was still tapping the glass wall in front of him with great concentration.
But the big-claw priests who came back to their senses were already kneeling down in fear.
“The Great High Priest!”
This seemed to trigger a chain reaction. One by one, the rat people present knelt down and repeated those words loudly with fearful voices.
“The great high priest!”
Toward Rope Seven.
At this time, the extremely focused slave rat finally came to his senses. He turned around and saw the crowd of slave rats kneeling on the ground. Oh my God, those big slave rats The claw priests all knelt down and worshiped.
Unspeakable fear welled up in my heart, and I threw myself on the ground while trembling. I accidentally hit a sharp piece of broken glass, and blood immediately flowed out, but This slave rat seemed to be unaware of it.
The shouting started loudly.
"Great! Great!"
He was a little stuck. What exactly was great? He didn't hear clearly just now.
The terrifying body was shaking, but simply, Sheng Qi did not intend to argue with him.
With the battle flag on his back, he climbed up step by step towards the opened gap as many rat men knelt down.
Shortly after he left, a big-clawed priest jumped up and hit the guy with blood on his face with a whip.
While beating and scolding.
“Damn, stupid bug, can’t you even recognize the great high priest!”
The clear sound of whips kept ringing, accompanied by the screams, But it soon stopped, because Sheng Qi's Jihadi Army followed and swarmed into the gap.
Well, in fact, Sheng Qi has not been particularly happy in these years, but if you want to ask him if he does not regret it or if he does not regret succeeding as the high priest, then he will tell you.
No, I don’t regret it at all.
This has always been what he wanted, the title of high priest.
The high priest ropes seven!
Yes! This is what he wants!
Listen to those despicable guys kneeling down and calling their names.
Sheng Qi's face showed even more joy.
Sheng Qi completed the assembly of the army, and then resolutely broke into the dangerous hills.
This is not a very wise decision.
But he has to do this. Those guys in Waste City can shrink their heads, but he cannot do this. He is the second high priest of the Rat Man Empire.
He is that extremely noble man, the rat man who is closest to the gods.
He couldn't retreat, especially not toward the heretic god.
If he retreats, then what he, the high priest, will face, what he, Sheng Qi, will lose, is a very terrifying thing.
That’s how the march began.
Advance towards these rolling hills. But how can I put it, when the Holy War Army led by him, the high priest, faced the Eldar reconnaissance ship hovering in the sky, there was actually no obvious difference between them and those rat-man fanatic believers.
There is no need to use any special means, just the hot beam of light from the sky can easily wipe him away.
His Jihadi Army, the Jihadi Army he had high hopes for, were also melted together with the soil of the earth under such an attack, turning into that colorful glass.
No! There is still a difference, not exactly the same. Those lone Eldar crew members finally gave him, the most noble guy in the Ratman Empire, some face.
The scorching light almost surrounded him and scorched the earth until nothing was left around him, and he, who was carrying the battle flag on his back, was not attacked.
It’s just that nothing is left. You have to admit that although Sheng Qi had already learned about everything that was happening here from the information of the rat assassins when he rushed here, when all this happened When it actually happened in front of him, it was still more terrifying and frightening than the empty description.
Sheng Qi lost his figure, and his body was trembling a little more.
In the attacks of these Eldar loners, almost no corpses were produced. Everyone and everything attacked was melted.
There is nothing left in my eyes except the sticky mottled magma that has not had time to solidify.
It’s empty and so quiet.
The terrifying heretic god in the sky stopped, and a black dot fell from the sky.
A transparent shadow was projected in front of Sheng Qi.
As expected, it was the heretical god, and he lowered his projection towards Rope Seven.
Moreover, as the mouth of the heretic god in the projection opened and closed, the words he spoke were clearly heard by Sheng Qi.
"I think we can talk now. We don't expect war, we just need you to offer something."
The feeling of contempt and arrogance in these words is almost gone. To cover up.
It is true that the people in this area that have made these spirit tribes so scrupulous have always been the rat men themselves.
They think Sheng Qi will agree to their request. After all, what choice does Sheng Qi have now? The gap between them is so huge, what other choice can Sheng Qi make?
Silence.
At this time, the field fell into a long silence, these guys were waiting for Sheng Qi to give an answer.
Such a choice is really difficult to make.
Sheng Qi also had a hard time doing it. Everything seemed to be different from what he expected, but he finally made a decision.
Raised his head with difficulty.
At this moment, Sheng Qi sincerely prayed to Du Yuan in his heart. If there is nothing wrong, Sheng Qi has not prayed so sincerely for a long time since he took the position of high priest.
In the heart.
"Great God! If you can hear me! Then please protect me!"
This guy Sheng Qi really demonstrated the concept of temporarily holding the god's feet to the fullest.
But he did not bow to the spirit race in front of him.
Although the words he spat out contained such a particularly difficult feeling, he did not bow his head.
"I won't talk about anything with heretics!"
Silence.
There was a brief silence.
The Eldar hidden behind this projection did not seem to expect such an unfolding.
To be precise, they did not particularly understand what qualifications Sheng Qi, an indigenous leader, had to reject them.
In the silence, anger welled up in my heart.
Okay, unexpectedly, these guys are more stubborn than imagined, but so what, they can still get what they want even if they don't use the power of the rat men. of.
It just takes a little more effort.
Since these despicable guys don’t want dignity, then they will help them achieve dignity.
In anger, greed, and the unexplained interference on the reconnaissance ship, they completely lost their minds.
The phantom collapsed and disappeared, and the hot beam began to accumulate again. At the moment when the beam was accumulated, Sheng Qi might be melted by the hot beam and the soil and rocks under his feet.
Sheng Qi probably thought of such a result, and there was an indescribable bitterness on his face.
But until now, he had not thought of surrendering.
Maybe he is really so religious?
But it shouldn’t be.
It's just that he doesn't want to have the position and title of high priest hanging on his head no matter what.
Compared with death, he was more afraid that he would no longer be a high priest. Compared with death, he was more afraid that he would no longer be a high priest.
The light spear is about to be fully charged, and Sheng Qi, the second generation of the Rat High Priest of the Rat Empire, is about to come to an end.
Although it is hard to say what Sheng Qi possessed at this last moment was courage, but it was the obsession that transcended everything.
But he did not give in at this moment.
The eye-catching beam burst out, bringing with it a terrifying explosion.
Sheng Qi opened his eyes, a little sluggishly, he was not dead.
At this critical moment, the heresy containment force of the temple guards arrived, and across the sky was the scarlet beam of light.
The power comes from the scarlet magic eye.
The Eldar reconnaissance ship hovering in the sky was hit unexpectedly. The psychic shield outside the ship was easily penetrated, and the blood-red beam penetrated the Eldar reconnaissance ship unabated. The side hull of the ship.
At this moment, the terrifying whisper echoed in the ears of almost all the Eldar on the reconnaissance ship.
That is a hymn to the scarlet sun.
It can only be said that who would have imagined that the Ratmen, who use antimatter to light torches, really have hidden some incomprehensible black technology.
After all, the technology tree of the rat people is indeed unsightly, but the things about the gods on this planet are really high-end and troublesome things.
The Eldar scout ship began to fall.
