Chapter 427, Ratman’s anti-star weapon
Poverty and hunger have become the best breeding ground for faith, and have also made Star Rye the back garden of the Skaven Sect. The Second Expeditionary Fleet that arrived in this system suffered serious losses in the turmoil.
The professional captain appointed by Qi was seriously injured in the first wave of attacks and now relied entirely on various expensive spore medicines to maintain his life.
The situation is not very conducive to the Second Expeditionary Fleet, but simply, those temple priests, they are not eager to attack the Skaven Second Fleet, they want to delay time, the mobilization ability of the sect is not as strong as the empire, well, this Not necessarily, but without a leader and not trusting each other enough, the cooperation among the temple priests is indeed stumbling.
Take the Black Iron Star for example. Why did the Rat Crusaders on the Black Iron Star lose so quickly? In fact, a large part of the reason was due to the difficulty in internal coordination and cooperation.
Holy war armies belonging to different temple priests will not cooperate with each other, and will even take the initiative to drag down their teammates. This is a very fatal situation. Obviously, the same goes for the temple priests at this time. Is aware of this.
Purify, unite, cooperate, and at the same time wait for the huge battleship on the Shenqi Star Port to slowly take shape. This group of guys has fully penetrated the Rat Empire. For example, at this time, the Shenqi Star Star Port is almost on the Piecing together the huge flagship that is the same as the core of the first and second expedition fleets one to one.
Of course, it also included something that left them a little confused, the soul scream.
A weapon, something that is difficult to describe. Even the defecting rat engineers were very vague about such a weapon. The temple priests did not really understand what this soul scream was, but in the chaos During the quarrel, they decided to invest some of their resources towards this so-called soul scream.
This may be a powerful weapon, but it's not like they don't have such a thing. It's not like the temple priests haven't made preparations for this war. On God's Star, under the barren mountains, a giant dragon has been killed by the distortion school. A bunch of crazy guys woke up.
This will also be their strategic weapon.
To a certain extent, the rat people do have exceptionally good talents in war and self-destruction. They have just left the planet two hundred years ago. The shields of these guys' expedition flagships rely on numerous frigates to stack up like building blocks. But it was the first to make great strides in star-destroying weapons.
And they are not following the same path. Whether it is the Dragon of Life of the Abnormality School or the Soul Scream launched by the Royal Engineering Department of the Skaven Empire, these are all real weapons against stars. In other words, they can all attack a planet. The real planet is cleansed.
Needless to say, the Dragon of Life is a reference for rat people's biological science in the pre-interstellar and interstellar eras. It is a curse left by a crazy guy. Its existence itself is the most terrifying ecological plague.
The blood-red skinless and scale-less dragon soared into the sky, bringing blood-red rain and the apocalypse of death.
Flesh and flesh are deformed, and all creatures, whether intelligent or not, will go completely crazy in this heavy rain, until everything is silent and scarlet flesh covers everything.
This is the trump card prepared by the temple priests for this war, and there is a tacit understanding that Qi also prepared such a weapon for this war. As for its effects and functions, there is no need to explain. When a rat-man captain who had mushrooms sprouting all over his body was on the verge of death, he decided to make such a dangerous attempt.
This was the first time the rat people had officially used such a dangerous weapon, and the place they chose to release it was the planet colonized by the rat people.
On the console of the Second Expeditionary Fleet, the weak captain was breathing heavily. You can see a horrific wound with burn marks on his left chest. The hands of those traitors were really cruel. Half leaning on the console, the captain, as an outstanding graduate of the Skaven Empire Academy, did not behave too badly, even though the tentacles that appeared from time to time and slowly squirmed at the wound made him endure it all the time. Huge pain.
"It has been judged that there is no need to save and fight on the ground. Destruction will be carried out and the soul scream will be released!"
After leaving these words in the captain's log on the console, he officially issued this order. After being attacked by those religious lunatics, his resentment towards these guys had reached its peak, almost to the point of death. Swallowing his sanity. What comes next is undoubtedly revenge.
With each word, the once high-spirited fleet commander's eyes gradually turned red, filled with violence and madness.
On his command, preparations for the release of Soul Scream began.
Rye star.
After the holy war broke out, the planet that was about to collapse after being sucked by the big rat merchants turned around a little bit. The holy war army expelled those big businessmen. Maybe it couldn't be said to be an expulsion, but more like a purge. An element of turbulence, or rather, making a claim.
In fact, after the power of the Ratman Sect took root on this planet, the huge profits from the rye mushrooms produced in the Rye Star have always been shared by these Ratman priests.
What they are doing at this time is not to save these believers who are suffering from poverty and hunger, but to deal with this war. But no matter what the motivation is, in fact, the poor people on this planet are The lives of the humble guys did take a turn for the better.
After all kinds of resources and food were thrown away in large quantities, they really felt that the great gods had saved them, and they also gradually became fanatical, and decided to fight with the incoming imperial army and those heretics. A fight to the death, not only they think this way, in fact, almost all the Jihadi Army on Rye Star think this way.
After all, when they endured hunger, faced difficulties, and struggled in pain every day, the Skaven Empire did not help them. Even the Skaven bureaucrats themselves were part of their suffering.
In an ordinary town on Rye Star, at this time, a roaring steam vehicle that was constantly spitting out turbid exhaust gas came to a halt. This steam vehicle belonged to the Jihad Army. It did not cause panic. Instead, it was greeted with cheers and extreme excitement. A warm welcome.
The young Skaven boys gathered around them excitedly. The faces of the Skaven Crusaders carrying firearms and weapons on the steam vehicles had smiles from the bottom of their hearts. They kept lifting bags of supplies from the steam vehicles. , throwing it away and shouting loudly.
"The great gods favor us! Give us gifts!"
The rat people who received the supplies all shouted piously.
"Long live the gods!"
This is a very harmonious scene, but it is a pity that a faint blue column has been pushed out of the ship, under the violent and red eyes of the seriously injured fleet commander who is about to meet his death.
In the dark and empty starry sky, a faint blue light suddenly lit up, and this faint blue column began to move forward, towards this ordinary agricultural planet.
This is war.
