Chapter 415, The Collapse of the New Holy City
The good news is that the Eldar did not mobilize the most powerful fleet to rush towards the rat people who have just entered the universe. The bad news is that even so, the rat people are probably There is absolutely no way to fight against this advancing Eldar expeditionary force.
The good news is that this Eldar expeditionary force may have to be stuck in the chaotic time for a period of time before it can come out of the center of the chaotic physical universe. The bad news is that the rat people are not preparing for this. Prepare for war, develop, continue to develop, etc. They are going to start a civil war.
The old Sheng Qi did not suppress the last member of the temple council who grinned at him.
Everything went smoothly in the beginning. After all, the rat people have an extremely excellent virtue, which is not to see whether you do it or not, but to see how I do it.
There is no investigation or deliberation. When we reach the position of Sheng Qi, what we have to do is actually very simple, that is, list a suspect and then crush him to death like an ant.
There is no doubt that Sheng Qi can do this. He is no longer that vain puppet. Although until now, he still cannot fully explain to the rat priests, those old guys from the old era. , there are too many of them who are barely surviving.
But there is no doubt that he is now a true high priest of the rat people. During that religious reform, Sheng Qi took away most of his rights and elevated his name as a high priest. Hanging over the heads of all the Skaven believers in the current Skaven Empire.
He finally did it, even if it took him a long time, to become a true Skaven High Priest.
Now Sheng Qi, who is he going to attack? It’s very simple. All he needs is a speech. Just a few simple sentences. In order to balance the new generation and the old guys in the Rat Council, The temple priest who was pushed out due to contradictions.
The proud and smooth man, the rat priest who seemed like the protagonist and the center of everything, had everything taken away from him and fell from his high position, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Obviously, this young guy did not realize that the rules are just a fig leaf for the weak.
That’s what he thought. He might think that he might be related to Sheng Qi, the old high priest, the rotten elephant. In the framework of the temple council, under the rat priest In the rules they abide by silently, they push back and forth, hold meetings one after another, fight against each other as if they are standing in a ring, use all kinds of chips, clues, evidence, interests, and compete with these frivolous things. High or low.
Maybe you still feel that you can step on Sheng Qi's head, and take Sheng Qi's prestige one step closer. You feel that you are the warrior who is ready to embark on the road of slaying the dragon.
But with just a fleeting word, Sheng Qi easily stripped away everything from this young guy who thought he could peek into a higher position.
From the time when the rat people went from the barbaric wilderness to the starry sky, the most fundamental rules have not changed.
Power, everything is power.
In Sheng Qi’s fleeting words, countless young priests, temple knights, pilgrims, and rat believers put on their armor, picked up their weapons, and started cheering enthusiastically, just like this. stand up.
Do you think Sheng Qi relied on his extremely long lifespan and frivolous qualifications to secure the position of high priest? He relied on the step-by-step transformation of the Ratman Church into this huge giant after the religious reform. Step by step, he held the organization in his hands. At that moment, he became a true high priest of the Ratman.
It’s just that this young idiot is not hopelessly stupid after all. The final bargaining chip he prepared for himself worked.
An army, a mixed fleet that has been mobilized and equipped with a large number of decommissioned warships and refitted warships from the Skaven fleet.
Such an army passed through the Miracle Corridor and jumped from the Skaven's third colonial star to the star port of the God Qi Star.
It's a miracle, isn't it? Such an army broke into Shenqi City in such a big way. This is an incredible thing, but it just happened like this.
The two major centers of the Skaven Empire, the former capital of the empire, the reservation of the Skaven Church, the origin of the Skaven, and still the cultural center and important resource node, the most important of the Skaven Church at present The chips are also the truly sacred place.
Today, he was completely torn off all the fig leaves by a young rat-man priest, and even his underpants were not left.
But when we look into the actual reason, it is not surprising. When Qi moved to the capital of the Skaven Empire, during that vigorous divestiture, there were no regular Skaven troops stationed in God Qi Star.
And it is also because of the existence of Qi that the Rat Man Church has never blatantly crossed that line and formed a large-scale Rat Man fleet regardless of the matter. Even the military forces stationed on the God Qi Star In the rounds of wrangling and mutual checks and balances, it was difficult to get together. For a long time, these arrogant guys did not think that God Qixing would be seriously attacked.
After all, no matter what, this is a true sacred heart. Even Qi had a different kind of entangled emotions when facing the god Qixing.
So, in such a situation, a guy who was about to lose quickly broke in regardless and did something that was shocking for the first time.
In the fierce exchange of fire, the few defensive artillery fires on the Shenqi Star Port were completely destroyed, and the star port lost the ability to attack outwards.
This shabby fleet also wanted to further occupy this star port to put more pressure on the temple priests on the God's Star, but after just a simple attempt, they retreated in disgrace.
They can't do it, well, this rebellion started by the loser is really embarrassing, whether it's the temple priests who had their underwear ripped off, or this loser. Eye's former temple priest.
The Temple Knight Guards are stationed on the Divine Star Port, as well as the Heretic Tribunal and the Skaven Assassins. The Temple Knight Guards and the Heretic Tribunal are all from the past. Guards that were separated from the temple guards. Perhaps you now understand why this rebel fleet cannot occupy this star port.
Because of various historical issues, there is no systematic rat fleet stationed in the star field of Shenqi Star. Otherwise, where would these miscellaneous fleets composed of second-hand warships and modified ships come from? Show off your power.
In the landing battle, these guys were killed and were completely defeated. They could only run back to the battleship in a hurry and take off.
No matter how huge the advantage space power has, if you want to truly occupy a planet, you still have to rely on ground forces. Even now, land warfare and the army are still an indispensable part.
The star port cannot be captured, and these rebels cannot destroy it.
These big shots on Shenqi Star and the elite private armies stationed there are unable to rise to the sky to fight with this rebel army. Although this is only a second-hand fleet, it is at least a large-scale rat people. The fleet is not something that the groups of reconnaissance ships stationed on Shenqi Star can handle.
The situation has reached a stalemate.
It’s just that the situation won’t always be this deadlock.
Of course, he is not the only one who secretly prepared the rat fleet. Don't doubt the hidden thoughts of these guys. It's just that these guys have always had a tacit understanding, or in other words, they don't dare to be the conspicuous leader.
This guy who was jealous of losing was just an introduction, a spark, but he successfully ignited everything.
On the second day after the arrival of this fleet, there was still no achievement, and no compromise negotiations were achieved. This young former temple councilor has already felt his destiny, even if It is this final madness, and it is also the fact that nothing has changed. In a frenzy, he gave the order to attack.
One by one, soul bombs and magic energy bombs were dropped from the orbit of the God Qi Star.
This crazy guy no longer expects to survive, he just wants to bite those guys hard before he dies.
The New God City is collapsing. A large number of high-rise steel buildings have collapsed during the attack. Countless ratmen are running wildly in panic. However, facing this attack being thrown down from the sky, they don’t even have a chance to react. No.
Sheng Qi lowered his eyelids and looked at everything in front of him.
Raise your head high.
I don’t know what I’m thinking.
The bombing stopped soon, but the new holy city that was built was reduced to ruins and no longer prosperous.
Wailing, blood, flames, running ratmen, steel twisted by fire, the city turned into ruins.
One after another, one after another, the rat fleets came to the Godqi Star through the subspace. The moment after the crazy guy launched the orbital bombing, these were the private fleets of those temple councilors. The hidden fleet, the power that is not exposed on the surface, and the rebel fleet that is bombing the God Qi Star are a source.
The rebel fleet became a kind of meat and potatoes at this moment.
With crazy pressure, these guys all want to take a bite of this rebel fleet.
In a way, a carnival has begun.
Strength is the only creed in the Rat Man Empire. There is nothing wrong with this. Therefore, after the religious revolution, after Sheng Qi and Qi reached a silent understanding, an invisible shackles became It just fell behind.
There is always no shortage of careerists in the Rat Man Empire, and what is even more frightening is that these careerists often also possess power.
Sheng Qi is already old, and he can no longer suppress these ambitious temple priests, these greedy guys who have survived from the old era to the present.
It’s just that the chain that has fallen is still working.
Now, an opportunity has come.
Ever since, a carnival began.
These rat fleets, those temple priests, the rat fleets in their hands did not leave like this after tearing the crazy guy apart, in a tone of voice to prevent such a thing from happening again, with the collapsed and burning New Holy City as an excuse.
They left all the Skaven fleet behind.
For a time, these guys became the saviors, and Sheng Qi's prestige suffered a major blow. He, the old high priest, failed to prevent this tragedy and failed to prevent the collapse of the New Holy City.
The prestige of Shengqi fell to the bottom, but these temple priests jumped up in such a horrific disaster. Shengqi could no longer suppress them. Densely packed rat-man warships were currently cruising above the God Qi Star. .
It’s hard to believe that everything went smoothly.
In the flames, in the twisted steel, in the wails, in the corpses of countless rat men.
These ambitious guys were laughing wildly.
Everything is going out of control.
The countdown to the civil war has entered. Qi will not allow this group of greedy guys to completely control the Ratman Church. When Sheng Qi can no longer suppress these guys, there is no doubt that the Ratman fleet that was about to enter the expedition will be displayed on the The huge rat-man fleet on the fortress starport will turn around without hesitation, and then break into this sacred area along the miraculous passage.
This sacred planet surrounded by countless halos, this planet of origin of the rat people, will become the battlefield of this civil war.
………….
The collapse of the New Holy City became an undoubted tragedy, but it also became an opportunity for some rat boys.
The establishment of the new holy city can be regarded as a miracle for the former rat people. The rat priests who crawled out from the underground rat city, in this barren mountain range, At an extremely fast speed, a steel city was built, a city that reached the sky, a super city that was unprecedented for the rat people.
At the same time, this also brought about the decline of the underground rat city. The most intuitive ruler of this change is the abandoned rat industrial zone that gradually turned into a garbage dump.
The desolate mountainous industrial area that was once the head of the three major industrial areas in the Rat Empire has been completely abandoned and has been filled with a large amount of garbage thrown from the New Holy City. It is difficult for you to start from it. This huge garbage dump gives a glimpse of what this place looked like before, and it is difficult to imagine how important this place once was to the rat people.
The only traces left are the blast furnace tips nodding out among the garbage.
Actually, this situation is not unique to the Underground Rat City Industrial Zone. After the new holy city was built, almost the entire surface of the barren mountain range became a garbage dump.
This continuous mountain peak is not suitable for building a city, but those rat priests who rushed out still left the city here. As a last resort, huge steel pillars were poured one by one, and the city It was also built bit by bit at high altitude.
The city was dropped high in the sky, and the surface of the barren mountains under the city naturally became a huge garbage dump.
