From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 396, Ratman Empire, Weapons Falling from the Sky
Those rat-ghouls roaming around rampantly eventually aroused the dissatisfaction of the bigwigs in the Rat-Ghoul Empire.

A cleanup is about to begin.

This situation was created due to the indulgence of the rat warlords.

After all, if everything is too peaceful and nothing happens, then what is the point of the existence of these rat warlords?
Even if it is just to increase the amount of supplies delivered to you every month, such indulgence is undoubtedly necessary.

These Skaven warlords have fallen faster than most imagine.

The plummeting price of slave rats has a lot to do with them in the dark. During the peacetime, these guys were not at all ambiguous when it came to human trafficking.

Even if the ones being sold are the ratmen warriors in their hands.

And it's not just that, these guys have never lacked for any kind of things.

They trafficked in soldiers and weapons, plundered small rat settlements in the name of suppressing rat-ghouls, and mined minerals privately.

Doing these bad things without any scruples.

And I have been doing this for many years.

This may be closely related to the current mediocre status of these rat warlords.

These guys who command the army and serve as weapons, in peacetime, many guys hope that they can be more useless.

Before a new all-out war breaks out, it will be impossible for these guys' status to improve even a little bit. Even if an all-out war breaks out, as long as the rat people are not in a weak position, their status will not be able to improve even a little bit.

With such a situation and the temptation of some people with ulterior motives, it is not surprising that people would become decadent and indulgent.

Only a few years have passed. Although the rat people have never been known for their fighting ability, at this moment, the fighting ability of these rat warlords must be truly questioned.

However, no matter how depraved one is, doing such things is enough to suppress those rat-men, ghouls and the rioting slave rats.

The rebellions, big and small, have been deliberately indulged. This has been going on for many years and will continue until the next war breaks out and the tide recedes, then these naked swimming guys will be completely exposed.

But now, the situation seems to have changed.

A high and mighty rat man seemed to have made some kind of decision.

An extremely violent guy and his army were mobilized.

The temple guards had completed cooperation with the rat lord a long time ago, but the cooperation they chose was different from that of the rat priests in the Waste City.

Their merger with the Skaven Overlords will be more thorough.

It was not acceptance and integration, but complete suppression.

During the turmoil, the temple guards accepted the severely injured rat lords, acknowledged their status and existence, and replaced them with the temple guards' worship.

The great gods became the prerequisite for the rat lords to rule the rat cities.

Support more ratmen who believe in the great gods, provide for the temples in the city, and at the same time support the stability of the city and the fate of the land.

The leader of the temple guards, that strange guy, began to practice his words.

He wanted to draft a code, an imperial code that belonged to the ratmen themselves.

Judging from the actions of the temple guards, he seemed to have wanted to do this for a long time.

But I have never dared to take that first step, or rather, I have never been able to truly take that first step.

The resistance did not come from anywhere else, but from the temple guards themselves.

By now, even the rat-men priests no longer used the one problem that the temple priests could not avoid to ridicule these guys.

But they themselves remember it clearly and are extremely terrified.

This group of devout guys have never received any true revelation from God. Even God's grace was purchased in the war in which Sheng Qi destroyed the Half-Elf Kingdom.

This group of people were so devout that they dared not even to retract their interpretations and doctrines of the gods, and they carefully gathered and knelt down to worship them.

They did not dare to describe the great gods in too much detail.

This situation is truly in line with their own positioning.

A loyal guardian.

It is hard to imagine that they now have the right to interpret faith in at least half of the Ratman Empire, but we know that now, every year, a large number of temple guards will carefully go to the Gear Church to listen to the noisy big-claw priests crazily shouting the great Gear Spirit.

They dare not break through and depict the image of God.

Then naturally, the great, sacred, supreme God would not have any more specific duties and titles, but would be a so-called protector of the kingdom.

Of course, if he insisted on adding it, Du Yuan would not respond to such a change. He had long ago stopped participating in the rat man’s own decision.

But the temple guards didn't dare to do that.

But without the witness and guarantee of the supreme God, this matter cannot be confirmed at all.

The leader of the temple guards wanted to truly bring this twisted empire together. This was the first step he had been preparing for for a long time, but this first step was so difficult.

In the temple in front of Prairie City.

A guy takes a seat in a hidden space in the corner.

Even though the increasingly expanding and magnificent Furnace City has gradually become the center of the scarlet grassland and the main continent, it is also the absolute center for the temple guards besides the underground Rat City.

But he was still more accustomed to standing in the temple in front of the grassland city.

His fingers tapped on the stone table, making a rhythmic, crisp sound.

He had already drafted most of the Imperial Code.

At this moment, it was right in front of him.

This guy is different from the white mouse. He is not as pious as the white mouse, but his extremism is just the same.

It is hard to imagine how his idea of ​​unifying and integrating all the ratmen came about.

But he is so persistent.

This is a difficult thing, very difficult. Rat people who succumb to their desires are naturally more inclined towards chaos.

Want to make them submit to an overall order.

It's hard.

And think about it carefully, is it really necessary? As long as we maintain a loose framework and launch one war after another.

Then the rat people can naturally gather together.

Why do we have to bring them together?

It’s really thankless.

………….

After the ratman lords were subdued, most of their power was naturally snatched away.

Ultimately, the most fundamental principles among the rat people are power and interests.

The rat lords who were devastated by the turmoil did not have the strength to compete with the temple guards who were in the same area, so naturally they had no choice but to surrender.

As long as you choose to surrender, then it is normal to lose anything. Of course, the rat lords still have another choice. In the past, that is to join the colleagues in the Waste City. After all, no matter what, although the rat priests themselves acknowledged the separation, in the final analysis, the relationship between the rats and the rat priests is still deeper.

This is what the rat lords thought at first.

Until that group of greedy guys from the Waste City started to take advantage of their misfortunes without hesitation.

I don’t know how many minerals, workshops, and blood mushrooms went into the pockets of these rat priests during those years.

One third of the resources used to build the Waste City over the years came from the plunder of the Skaven Lord.

It is conceivable how much the ratman lords hate those damned colleagues now.

That is why it is understandable why the rat lords would rather choose to get closer to the temple guards despite their harsh treaties.

It was during this turmoil that Heimao changed his employer.

In one leap, he leaped from the Skaven Warlord under the command of the Skaven Lord into the hands of the temple guards.

And not only that, compared to the decadence and silence of other rat warlords over the years, he was quite eye-catching.

Not only did he flee at full speed when the murlocs invaded, but he also gained a great reputation by fighting fiercely with the rat-men pirates on the west coast of the main continent.

Active on the front line of the competition between Waste City and Furnace City.

The temple guards and the rat-man priests of the Waste City had almost no disputes overtly, but secretly, they fought fiercely.

Relying on the incorporation of most of the ratmen warlords, the temple guards took over almost all the land on the main continent.

Then the rat priests would gather groups of rat pirates to wreak havoc on the west coast, and from time to time rush into the inland to plunder.

The temple guards wanted to rely on the vast land and various minerals in their hands to suppress the Waste City.

Then the ratmen stabbed the fleeting rat lords in the back without hesitation, and plundered most of the ownership of the mines and workshops in the hands of these guys to maintain the operation of the waterway.

In the fight between the two sides, various means emerged one after another, so naturally, the most obvious one was violence.

It's just that this isn't done overtly.

It was under such circumstances that Heimao fought fiercely with the rat pirates on the west coast of the main continent every day.

Compared with other rat warlords, he has many outstanding features and advantages.

His Storm Troops were not so bloated, they were flexible enough and at the same time, capable enough to fight.

So naturally, he has been doing very well over the years.

Days like this would have continued until a transfer order came.

He returned to the Crimson Steppes with his Stormtroopers.

To be honest, Heimao didn't have a good impression of this place.

During that peaceful period, he was also abandoned here, staying in an abandoned ratman outpost to waste time meaninglessly.

If that big shot had not promised him war, a grand war, he would never have come back.

………….

The cleanup of the scarlet grassland has begun.

This is not a simple cleanup.

All the rat warlords and the black-haired one transferred back from the main continent were mobilized. All the abandoned underground tunnels on this grassland had to be carefully cleaned. At the same time, one by one, the big-clawed priests appeared in the ranks of the rat warlords with teams of slave rats.

The real big shot among the temple guards has spoken.

This time, the cleanup finally got rid of all the lip service and fraud.

There are a large number of rat-ghouls, roaming rat-vagrants, rioting slave rats who are unwilling to return to the empire, defected rat-free people, rat-mercenaries who engage in this complex tunnel network as robbers, and those wild rats who still linger in the ruins after the city is destroyed.

There are also spies sent by the ratmen priests and some guys with bad intentions.

Everything is being flattened quickly.

All resistance was crushed under the force of a blow.

The situation suddenly became a little tense.

Many guys felt uneasy in the face of such a huge move by the temple guards.

Until the temple guards announced their grand plan.

They will start to develop this grassland again and build new rat cities.

This made all those who knew the situation feel a little confused.

what is this?
Apparently, while all the other guys in the Ratman Empire were focusing their energy on sending firecrackers into the sky, the temple guards quietly announced a massive construction plan.

What are you doing?
No one could figure out what the temple guards were tinkering with.

But one thing is certain, since the temple guards have decided to do something, either destroy it or follow them.

It didn't take too long to think.

The ratman priests of the Waste City chose the latter and launched a reconstruction plan shortly afterwards.

There is no way. Even if they want to destroy it, how can they do it?

Should we send a large regular army into the Scarlet Grassland to stop the temple guards from clearing the Scarlet Grassland?
Is this realistic?

Obviously, this is not realistic.

So naturally, the only option is the second one.

Of course, the ratmen priests also used other methods, such as poaching big claw priests and raising the selling prices of various resources.

But they were all eaten by the temple guards.

Before long, many ratman priests in the Waste City made a lot of money.

As they earned more and more blood mushrooms, their stance changed accordingly, and soon there was more chaos in the Waste City.

It is extremely easy to get some of these profit-seeking guys to defect.

Of course, the problems these ratmen priests have to face are not just the temple guards who suddenly took action.

Some unusual changes have occurred among a group of rioting slave rats roaming in the rolling hills.

A group of rat mercenaries who were hired to wipe out the rebellious slave rats were defeated. They fled back to the Waste City in a panic and began to angrily accuse the rat priests.

According to the rat mercenaries who escaped, this was not a group of rebellious slave rats, but a fully armed magical army.

However, such words were regarded as nonsense just to save one's own face.

What a joke! They control all the trade details of this entire area. How could they not know when a batch of magic weapons flowed into their territory and fell into the hands of a group of slave rats?

Where did you come from?

What? Magical weapons are falling from the sky!
