From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 359: The New Emperor

On a clear day, the rats who were charging forward in great force were defeated on the endless flat land, and their corpses were evenly spread over every inch of the land.

Retreat in embarrassment.

This desperate move did not bring them victory.

The remaining ratmen began to retreat, licking their wounds in the underground tunnels that had been dug and reinforced in rounds.

The situation has entered a rare moment of stability.

The ratmen armies advancing in both directions were blocked.

City of the Sun.

The aged emperor dies suddenly after falling seriously ill, and the fierce power struggle reaches its most critical juncture.

In that towering castle, in that shadow, blood is shed every moment, and ambitious people appear on the stage.

Until an intricate and exquisite cannon was pushed in front of the castle, and a group of soldiers in neat formations and holding strange objects in their hands stood in front of the castle that represented power.

There was no more tedious speech. The roaring magic cannon broke open the tall and heavy gate. Soldiers with indifferent and numb expressions filed in. They used the strange objects in their hands, those things that looked like tubes, to wantonly slaughter the ambitious people gathered in the castle.

In front of the throne, a young man dressed in gorgeous robes appeared. He was wearing robes representing the emperor.

He seemed to feel that he was the new emperor of the empire.

It’s a pity that the soldiers who broke in here shattered his beautiful dream.

He shouted loudly at the soldiers in front of him in fear until a figure appeared in front of him.

The dazzling knight, the former hero, the useless man who could never stand up again, just appeared before him like that.

It brought him fear.

After going through all this, Caesar was a little calmer than before.

He raised his head and looked at his younger brother in front of him, the fifth prince of the empire, his own brother.

He spoke very calmly.

"Stop messing around and come down."

However, such calm words did not calm the young man standing on the throne.

He raised the sword in his hand and roared at Caesar in front of him with a ferocious face.

Caesar seemed very calm in the face of such a scene, and there was even some thought in his eyes.

He was no stranger to the younger brother in front of him. Once upon a time, they also played in the garden of this castle.

But now it has become like this.

The soldiers gathered here could not accept such a threat. It was an insult, an insult to their great prince.

A gray-white beam of light appeared in everyone's sight, and a large charred hole appeared on the forehead of the young man wielding the sword.

He fell to his knees on the ground helplessly, with the ferocious expression on his face still showing. It was a pity that his life was fleeting.

He fell before the magnificent throne and was silent.

Caesar stared at this scene with a pause on his face. Just when he was about to say something, the soldier who fired the gun drew his short blade from his waist.

This is also a young man, an ordinary young man, with a rough and sallow face caused by the scorching sun and wind.

An ordinary farmer boy.

The fanatical gaze finally stopped on Caesar, blood spurted out of his throat, and another figure fell in the hall.

Caesar, who was watching all this, had an expression of unspeakable meaning on his face.

When Caesar decided to stand up, he would undoubtedly answer some prayers. Many people left him during this time, but many more stayed and still gathered around him.

He would undoubtedly respond to their expectations.

He took a step forward, and his metal-cast feet made a crisp clicking sound as they landed on the marble-paved hall.

Approaching the luxurious throne.

Under the fanatical gazes of the guys gathered in the hall.

Finally he sat down and the coronation was completed.

At the end of this turmoil, in a situation that no one had expected or anticipated, an unexpected name won the final victory.

Well, maybe it's not surprising. After all, this name had almost been decided for a certain emperor, and even the turmoil was started by him.

Caesar made many changes to this old empire.

The mage community has taken a step forward in this stinking empire.

Even Caesar's crown was forged and crowned by twelve great wizards.

Many things have been implemented and many things have changed.

The establishment of the Mage Association and the establishment of the Magic Equipment Manufacturing Association.

From now on, every child of appropriate age in the empire will have the opportunity to test his or her wizard talent for free, and all magic schools will be integrated together through the connection between the Wizards Association and the twelve great wizards.

Some apprentice wizards who are unable to make breakthroughs in their studies and wizard level will be demoted to various parts of the empire.

More magic initiation schools will be opened.

All these changes are overwhelming, and it even makes people feel that the mages are the rulers of this empire.

All this was done with the tacit approval of Caesar, the new emperor of the empire.

This caused dissatisfaction among the great nobles, but they were severely damaged by the rats and, at least for now, they no longer had the power they had before.

And a more serious problem was placed before these great nobles.

The invasion of the ratmen.

In order to deal with the dissatisfaction of the great nobles, the various magical equipment on the front line and the special forces directly under Caesar were retreated to a certain extent.

Immediately, the rats who were eager to rush forward gave the nobles plenty of room to turn around.

In any case, no matter what conflicts there are, they are insignificant in front of the rat people and are not worth mentioning.

After all, the rat people really wanted to pile all of them, regardless of their status, on the altar.

All contradictions were temporarily suppressed.

Of course, Caesar did not simply allow these mages to take what they wanted.

Apart from a mage inauguration ceremony that was superficially a face-saving one.

At every wizard's inauguration ceremony, there will be a section where they pledge allegiance to the imperial family, indicating that they are always loyal to the imperial family.

But it's just a ritual, and everyone knows that.

But Caesar asked for more than that.

Today is the day for the new Mage Association to prove its promise to Caesar.

An ordinary carriage drove out of the still dazzling City of the Sun.

What not many people know is that at this moment, the newly appointed emperor of the empire, the emperor who attracted too much attention, is sitting in this ordinary carriage. Not only him, but also a great wizard is sitting here, accompanying Caesar.

Surrounded by some personal guards, in fact, not just those around him, the people driving the carriage were also Caesar's personal guards. The carriage was moving very steadily. Of course, what the young man driving the carriage would never tell you is that he had probably only pulled a donkey cart before, and he just liked to brag when drinking.

A famous horse-drawn coachman in the area. Wrong, a famous donkey-cart driver in the area.

He was very excited and thrilled. After all, the donkey cart boys in the surrounding villages were now able to pull the carriage of His Highness, the Emperor.

I just don’t know if Caesar and the archmage in the carriage can still sit there and chat and laugh after knowing this.

In the carriage, Caesar and the archmage were chatting idly.

The great wizard seemed a little curious.

"I didn't expect His Highness Caesar to be so concerned about farming."

Caesar seemed indifferent to his curiosity. Instead, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the farmlands on both sides of the road.

These abandoned farmlands are now busy with sowing.

Some windmills direct running water into plowed fields as they rotate. The running water will not stay in the fields for a long time. After standing still for a while, it will flow to the next field under the guidance of the ditches.

At this time, some insects in the soil will float up and be pecked by the ducklings driven into the farmland, swaying their bodies.

The return of the sun is bringing the world back to life quickly. Often after a heavy rain, you can see densely packed new buds sprouting on the barren mountain lands.

At the same time, animals did not become extinct. Those violent demonized beasts and a considerable number of unstable demonized beasts began to degenerate. Their offspring became ordinary from generation to generation, and it would not be long before they would be able to recover into ordinary animals.

Everything is recovering at a very fast speed.

Of course, bugs are still not very welcome.

This is just an ordinary farming scene. There doesn't seem to be anything strange about it, except that both the speed and efficiency of farming are unexpectedly high.

Only by looking carefully can you discover the reason.

Some mage apprentices appeared in the field. Whether it was guiding river water, loosening the soil, or removing weeds, these processes became extremely efficient with the participation of these mages. Moreover, not far away, there were some flashing magical machines operating in this large farmland.

Seeing this, Caesar withdrew his gaze.

"This is not so surprising. After all, whether it is you mages, the soldiers on the front line, or my personal guards, most of the people in this empire come from these fields. We also live on the bread produced in the fields."

Caesar gave his answer.

But this answer made the great wizard stunned.

His curiosity was answered.

But this answer was somewhat unexpected.

He thought it would be some other answer, in order to win over his own guards and make them more loyal.

After all, his hands and feet were taken away by the rats for the next war.

In order to gain higher fame, he made the great wizards restrain their hands and feet when facing him.

I thought about these answers, but I had never thought of these words.

"The majority of the Empire?"

The great wizard pondered over these words and muttered to himself in a low voice.

When he raised his head, his gaze on Caesar was a little softer.

This is a good answer. Everyone likes a bright and upright guy, and he is no exception.

Boasted to Caesar.

"You will definitely be a great emperor."

Caesar did not respond to this remark.

The great wizards proved to Caesar that they would fulfill their promise.

This ordinary horse-drawn carriage was moving steadily along the road surrounding the field.

Perhaps this corrupt empire could once again revive, which would be an incredible thing.

After all, such a change seemed to have happened in this empire once a long time ago.

But this time, can it be reborn?
It is somewhat difficult, very difficult, after all, the rats are coming.

By the way, there is another familiar guy in that field.

Arthur is a young man who is humming as he manipulates a strange-looking magical device under the scorching sun.

This is a strange-looking magical machine, a rectangular iron box with a rough track structure and several thick iron hooks at the tail.

It looked like some hideous war machine, and the dragged iron hook was obviously suitable for disemboweling the enemy, but it was not. It was just a magical plowing machine.

Its operator, Arthur, wiped the sweat from his forehead in the hot sun.

Damn it, he had planned to change his career after harvesting the wheat. He was tired of dealing with the wheat and the muddy fields.

This grumbling guy seemed to have suffered a lot during this period. His whole body was tanned. From a distance, he looked like a black potato with golden hair.

People can't help but laugh.

It can only be said that he really has a destiny with farming. Just when he was about to change his career, the Mage Association found him. After all, he was the first person to use magic equipment for farming.

Under the temptation of being promoted to the official title of wizard, he returned to farming.

But this is not an easy thing.

After complaining for a while, Arthur, who was full of complaints, silently started up the swaying magic machine under him again.

With that roar, it shook in the scorching sun, breaking up the caked soil of the deserted fields.

A hard-working farmer. Yes, Arthur seems to be a hero, a hard-working farming hero.

………….

The calm won't last long.

In the rolling hills, a huge ratman fleet has been formed.

For the rats, this ocean route posed no real threat, especially after the launch of a larger, heavier behemoth with a straight chimney that spewed out black smoke every moment.

It can be said that the rat people have no rivals at the sea level.

Sheng Qi's Western Fleet is about to continue his voyage.

A new battlefield is about to be opened up.

Although the Western Fleet at this time had the same problem as the new Eastern Expeditionary Force.

Too scattered, too unfocused.

But it doesn’t matter, after gaining hegemony over the ocean, this means one thing.

No matter what setbacks and defeats they experience, a stable and unstoppable road has been opened, and countless ratmen warriors will be sent to the main continent through this road.

This will be a battlefield that never stops, and a wound that will never stop bleeding.
