From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 347: The Thirteenth Ratman Councillor

In order to have more bargaining chips in his hand, Sheng Qi brought the Church of the Spirit of Ore to the table without hesitation.

Under the strange gazes of the guys in the hall.

It was a very wise choice for Sheng Qi to take the vacant position into his own hands.

Whether he succeeded or not, when the group of sneaky guys hiding on the edge of the Ratman Empire were revealed to everyone, one fact was established.

They could only rely on Sheng Qi and hold on to him tightly.

To some extent, the guys in the Church of the Spirit of Minerals were not yet heretics. They also believed in great gods, and their structure was even more advanced than that vague organization of rat priests scattered throughout the Rat Empire.

A church without a clear program and temporarily without a leader.

The Church of the Spirit of Ore has clear doctrines, and is derived from the doctrines revealed by the great gods. It mines more ores and taps into the power contained in these ores.

In some ways they are indeed more advanced.

But how should I put it? Progress is not entirely equivalent to strength.

Although the vague church built by the rat-men priests was not advanced, it was powerful enough.

These crazy rats are thinking every moment about how to offer more sacrifices to the great gods and pile more lives on the scarlet altar.

Although their philosophy seems to have changed recently and they have begun to pursue more blood mushrooms, the specific situation has not changed. After all, blood mushrooms also rely on piling up lives on the altar.

In the past, it was for merit, and now it is for blood mushrooms. For these things, these guys would do anything, monopolizing mineral veins, hoarding young ratmen, training private guards, funding a large number of rat mercenaries, forming rat caravans, promoting wars, and using all these things to tirelessly pursue what they want, that self-righteous piety.

These guys took the wrong path from the beginning. Their piety to the gods was all compared by how much they piled on the altar.

Until now, they have been running on the wrong path and it is difficult to turn back, and they are unwilling to turn back.

If you discuss with these guys what true piety is, gods and believers, these mysterious topics, they will probably hesitate, but on the other hand, it doesn't take much effort for them to label you a heretic and mobilize a bunch of ratmen to send you to the altar.

The Church of the Spirit of Minerals is stuck right on this line.

Progress but damn.

The ratman priests present, no matter which faction they belonged to, all looked dangerous the moment Sheng Qi made such a rebellious proposal.

But Sheng Qi ignored these guys.

If he wanted to bring the Church of the Mineral Spirit to the forefront, the conflict with the ratmen priests would be inevitable and difficult to reverse, so from the beginning he directly placed the target of his struggle on other beings on the field.

The big-clawed priest who was in charge of many matters in the underground rat city fell silent.

The captain of the temple guard who guarded the underground rat city showed the same anger as the rat priests.

Even though he should agree with this matter in theory, after all, the competition between the temple guards and the rat priests is still going on. But how to put it, in terms of piety, the temple guards have always been not much worse than the rat priests, and some are even more spiritual.

The atmosphere on the field was not right.

Even though the lightning cannon engraved with dark blue patterns behind Sheng Qi was still emitting light from time to time, the threat that was enough to send everyone present to the sky was in Sheng Qi's hand, but it still could not stop the situation from becoming increasingly tense and dangerous.

Not all of those who sat down at this time were not afraid of death, but it was not easy for Sheng Qi to suppress them easily by the threat of death.

As for the Church of the Spirit of Minerals, this proposal crossed the line. No matter what, they should not disrespect the gods anymore. This was a huge taboo.

Sheng Qi must convince these guys, otherwise his end will not be good. Unless he is really crazy enough to die together with everyone present in this meeting, he must do something.

The Church of the Spirit of Ore has only crossed the line and can be classified as heresy or let off.

Not long after, a confused-looking Big Claw priest was pulled onto the platform.

A young big-clawed priest, a freak obsessed with circular rotation.

Sheng Qi once wanted to throw this annoying freak into the sea, but today, he had to admit that even this annoying freak that could make people feel irritated was not so useless. At least, this guy talked a lot.

Just gave one sentence.

"I might consider investing in those wheels."

Just like that, with just these words, Gear Mouse happily followed Rope Seven to the Underground Mouse City.

When he learned not long ago that Sheng Qi had become the high priest of the rat people, he had some unrealistic fantasies.

Perhaps Sheng Qi would hand over such a huge and beautiful industrial area of ​​the underground rat city to him. What a beautiful dream it would be. If Sheng Qi did this, he would definitely praise Sheng Qi a lot.

He was still dreaming this dream until he came here and stood in front of the ratmen councillors.

There was no way, after all, that place with the fire that never went out was just too beautiful.

But unfortunately, dreams are just dreams after all. Gear Mouse doesn’t feel very good now. Although he doesn’t know what happened here or what is being done here, he really doesn’t feel very good.

At this time, Sheng Qi sat down, at the highest position, and spoke lightly.

"This is a member of the Mineral Spirit." With just these few words, the Gear Mouse and the Mineral Spirit Church far away in the hills were lifted up onto the flames by Rope Seven.

His throat slid and he couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

At this moment, the eyes of the twelve ratmen councillors on the field were all on the gear rat, with various expressions of curiosity, some dangerous, some inexplicable.

Gear Mouse had to admit that he felt a little regretful. Perhaps the wheel was not that important.

Gear Mouse is a smart guy, even though he can become extremely talkative and annoying when talking about wheels, but he is a smart guy.

Sheng Qi just gave a few simple pointers and he immediately understood what he was supposed to do, and a passionate introduction began.

An endless introduction to the Church of the Spirit of Ore.

In his words, the Church of the Mineral Spirit suddenly changed from a sneaky secretive group to a vanguard of devout belief in the great god.

He repeatedly emphasized his love and devotion to the great God.

They gathered together to practice the revelations left by the great gods.

To some extent, this is indeed true, but it has been exaggerated and some things have been concealed. This is a very normal situation and of course it has to be concealed.

After all, although the Church of the Mineral Spirit was established not long ago, they have done a lot.

The slave rats sent by the Jieliu Rat Priests stole ore and secretly dug underground cities. They even erected an illegal divine pillar made entirely of metal in the underground city they dug out.

No matter which of these things, they cannot be spoken out.

There was some confusion in their endless words, most of which were praises of the great gods, and a small part was the original intention repeated again and again. They were a group of pious guys who were not afraid of difficulties and were determined to practice the revelations of the great gods.

They are loyal! Very loyal!

This confusing speech had some effect.

The heavy atmosphere on the field eased a lot.

Although the ratmen priests still responded with hostility to the so-called ore spirit, they no longer had that sharp sense of danger that caused stinging pain to anyone who looked at them.

It has relaxed a lot.

It seems that Sheng Qi won't have to die together with everyone present.

This proposal naturally came to the voting stage.

Two loyal rat priests, two rat lords, a radical rat priest, and the captain of the temple guard who guarded the underground rat city, they all voted against it.

The Big Claw Priest who manages many affairs of the underground rat city, the captain of the temple guard stationed in the grassland city, the war priest with scars on his face, the rat warlord, and the blurry guy hiding in the shadows, they chose to support.

It is not surprising that the Big Claw Priest would support it. After all, the members of the Mineral Spiritual Power are basically all Big Claw Priests.

The captain of the temple guard stationed in Prairie City seemed to agree with what the Gear Mouse said about the practice of divine revelation.

The reason why the war priests and the rat warlords chose to support was equally simple: they simply wanted to make things difficult for the rat priests.

And that vague guy hiding in the shadows will support the newly appointed high priest.

Graystone gave up. This dazed guy was not very adaptable to the current rhythm. Just like the gear mouse standing here, he did not fully understand what was happening here.

But it's still one vote short.

The captain of the temple guard stationed in the underground rat city was not impressed by the gear rat's speech.

The twelve ratmen councillors voted on the ownership of the last ratmen seat, with six votes against and five votes in favor.

But this situation made Sheng Qi feel relieved.

As the high priest of the ratmen, Sheng Qi also has the right to vote, and to some extent, his vote is more important and carries more weight.

However, as a very young high priest, it was not easy for him to exercise this right.

White mice can promote what they want without voting.

Even if Sheng Qi wanted to vote, he could only cast his vote in this stalemate.

The resolution was passed.

The Church of the Gear Spirit has been awarded a seat on the Skaven Council.

Sheng Qi finally had an extra chip in his hand.

At the end of the meeting, a new proposal was put forward. During the ratmen meeting, no weapons were allowed to be carried and no divine magic was used. This principle was confirmed and would be ensured by the temple guards.

Of course, no one would be able to push a lightning cannon into a meeting anymore.
