From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 401: The World Transformed into a Cage
The skinny slave rat was dancing on the top of a low hill, with a large number of soul gems piled up in front of him.

He is bargaining.

Facing the beam of light cast from the sky in front of him.

Towards a group of unknown things.

The hand behind this slave rat rebellion has finally revealed its whereabouts.

A beam of light, a hazy silver beam of light.

Incredible, like a miracle. Of course, this incredible thing is only for those who have not left the planet or have not dealt with the elves. In fact, this beam of light has another more understandable name.

Tractor beam.

It is projected out by the anti-gravity module carried by the spacecraft, and its purpose is to load supplies into the spacecraft more conveniently.

At this time, the Eldar in the spaceship once again burst into cheers.

After boxes of ether crystals were stored in the spacecraft, all they had to pay were some brainwashing devices, some learning devices, and various ancient beam weapons that could be printed in batches.

All of this requires no effort, just raw materials. The nano-production station used as emergency repair equipment is able to produce these in large quantities.

Although what arrived here was only an Eldar reconnaissance ship, a small auxiliary spaceship that was insignificant to the Eldar, but in fact, this spaceship had the ability to dominate the direction of a first-level civilization.

If it weren't for the fact that what was read from the memory was so terrifying.

They only need to show up in the capital of the Ratman Empire, and relying on the spaceship shield that is almost impossible for the Ratmen to penetrate, they can easily crush the entire Ratman Empire.

But now, not only did they not do so, but they seemed to be avoiding something and only dared to come into contact with these rioting slave rats, looking like they were hiding their heads and showing their tails.

Some of the images read from the rat-man priest who was sent to the sky and frozen into an ice stick were too horrifying.

Involving the origin of the etheric satellites and etheric comets.

It is hard to imagine that these two things were fabricated by an indescribable creature, which was still very young in history and given to the rat people on this planet as a gift.

It was really unbelievable that a creature called a god could do such a thing.

Later, their detection of the Ether Comet confirmed the authenticity of the extracted memory fragments. The Ether Comet was too young, and the same was true for the Ether Satellite.

As for their subsequent landing operation on the ether satellite, the reconnaissance ship became disabled when approaching the faint blue comet, and everything was at a standstill. If they had not reacted quickly and quickly distanced themselves, they would have probably fallen onto the ether satellite and died.

All of this seemed to confirm what was recorded in that fragment of memory.

It also made them become cautious.

In fact, there is no need to be so careful. The disability they suffered when they got close to the Soul Moon is not a setting that Du Yuan had set for the Soul Moon that is unique to the rat people.

It was just that the overpowering soul energy interfered with the control system of their reconnaissance ship.

It's strange to say, after Du Yuan crushed several so-called arks in the chaotic space, he also discovered some interesting things.

The real core of these Eldar warships, the control system of the warships is not a completely mechanical creation, but has a living state, as if the artificial soul is the technology that can make all the gods of death jump up in an instant to fight against the rebels.

Then, it is very clear why these Eldar warships cannot get close to the Soul Moon.

These artificial souls that are too weak cannot withstand such an impact. The Soul Moon is so terrifying in size that the radiation alone would kill the main control AI of the Reconnaissance Sword if it just gets close to it.

But the Eldar crew members did not know this. They only thought that it was just as the frantic murmurs in the soul fragment of the ratman priest said. This was a gift specially prepared for them by the god, an unimaginable and terrifying life form. It was a gift that belonged to them alone.

Thus, this subtle exploration and adjustment began.

The captain of the reconnaissance ship did not forget that she was only driving a reconnaissance ship, and the reconnaissance ship also did not forget that it was only a reconnaissance ship.

They are not the main force of the Eldar, and are not even qualified to be a decent tentacle.

Faced with such an almost incomprehensible situation, it was no longer a fictional god, but seemed to be real. They were simply not qualified to touch or deal with it. As long as they brought the situation here back after completing the repairs, then what they had to do would be accomplished.

This was a decision made jointly by the captain and the ship. They were quite confident, but the other crew members on the reconnaissance ship were more eager to make a move.

After all, just one piece of ether crystal is enough to change their fate. Now, ether crystals cannot be said to be everywhere on this planet, but they can be said to be abundant to a certain extent.

Although the captain and the ship were afraid of the hidden god, they also longed for these precious gems.

Thus, the first official contact between the Eldar and the Skaven began in such an awkward manner.

It was actually quite thoughtful of them to make their first contact with the slave rat leader.

It is hard not to suspect that the beams of light falling from the sky were imitating the several instances of gifts falling recorded in the history of the Rat People.

Sure enough, at the first contact, the rioting slave rat leader, the skinny slave rat, was terrified to the extreme and kept bowing, until suddenly, he seemed to realize something.

Became enraged, roared loudly, and even tried to attack the tractor beam in front of it.

First contact ended in a very bleak manner.

The reason also made these elves inevitably surprised.

When the tractor beam fell, the rebellious slave rat leader wanted to beg for a gift in a frenzy.

What he wanted was not something complicated or difficult, it was even extremely simple. He wanted to become a ratman priest.

Well, in his long career as a slave rat, his greatest wish seemed to be just to become a ratman priest at the beginning. Perhaps during the period when he was still a slave rat, this wish was even more humble, and it might be just to become a big claw priest.

But these elves are absolutely unable to give this one thing.

As expected, the slave rat leader became furious. He turned the tractor beam and the guy behind it into heretics. If the tractor beam had not been attacked, this guy would have rushed over and started biting on the spot.

Such a dismal first contact made the Eldar look unhappy, but fortunately, a group of rat mercenaries who came here to suppress them gave them a chance.

These rebellious slave rats were beaten and fled away in panic, and it seemed that they were all about to be caught and sold as commodities again.

At this time, the real contact finally began.

The Eldar provided weapons and equipment to the rebellious slave rats, and the rebellious slave rats gave these guys all the soul gems they obtained along the way.

On that hill, after several boxes of soul gems were delivered, all kinds of things kept appearing and piled up into a hill.

However, the expression of the slave rat leader was not happy, and his gaze on the tractor beam in front of him was particularly fierce.

This is a paranoid guy, extremely paranoid.

His wishes, goals, and what he wanted to obtain seemed to have remained the same. He wanted to become a ratman priest.

This is something that doesn't seem that difficult, but is almost impossible to obtain.

Those who can become a ratman priest will become a ratman priest, and those who cannot will always be like that.

It's a bit confusing, but it's true. Only those who can become rat-man priests can become rat-man priests. Those who cannot become rat-man priests will be in vain no matter how much they kneel and worship.

But he seemed unwilling to do so.

He just wanted to be a ratman priest.

In that riot, they were running in the dark as they were almost dying. He was not the initiator, he just followed the guys around him. In the inexplicable anger, the guys around him fell one by one. Unknowingly, he rushed to the front and rushed in front of the damn Big Claw Priest.

At that time, he thrust the spear in his hand into the chest of the damn guy without hesitation, and watched him struggle and fall. The slave rats beside him rushed over, and he was lifted up high. He thus became the leader of this group of guys.

But after that chaotic night, he fell into deep confusion.

What should he do? He pondered this question while lying on the ruins.

Soon, he came up with the answer.

He wanted to be a rat-man priest.

This is a simple wish, but how to achieve it?

After thinking for a while, he got the answer from the mumbling of several elderly guys.

The history of the ratmen is not only circulated in the patterns neatly engraved on the temple stone slabs by the temple guards, but also spread through word of mouth among many ratmen, evolving into vague stories and legends.

Among them, there are many such descriptions.

Receive the blessing of God and become a great guy.

He is currently walking on this path.

So he started to move. After conquering another border rat city, the old slave rats asked him to give himself a name, and then he gave himself a name.

His name is Gifted Rat, and the purpose of this name is obvious.

However, how to obtain the gift is still unclear.

But his instinct was that he needed more slave rats, more slave rats, and thus, a riot began to spread.

This riot was exceptionally casual, and seemed to be in line with the temperament of the rat people.

This is how all the mess started.

But it will end in blood and fire.

With all these things, facing the upcoming suppression and facing those rat mercenaries rushing here, there is some suspense as to who will win and who will lose.

But how do you obtain the gift?

This is still a question that has no answer yet.

This guy named himself Gift, he murmured about it day and night.

………….

As the suppression war was about to begin, the temple guards also came to cause trouble for the ratmen merchants in the waste city.

The fall of the mining cities in the rolling hills made all kinds of resources in the waste city suddenly scarce, so the sea route became particularly important.

Now, the offensive and defensive situations were different, and the pirates began to abuse their power again.

For a moment, the ratmen merchants became even more worried and anxious.

In such chaos.

The Ratman Empire breathed a sigh of relief from the peace again with great reluctance.

At least, at this time, the bigwigs in the Ratman Empire still had the energy to curse loudly in the Ratman Parliament.

Although the west coast of the main continent is in chaos, those guys who were cheated by the ratmen in the Waste City are about to lose their pants. They are extremely angry and have begun to capture islands on the waterway to recover their losses. At the same time, the suppression war is about to begin, and the riots that are happening one after another in various places show no signs of stopping.

But it's harmless, everything is so peaceful.

The Ratman Empire is still thriving today!
During this meeting, the bigwigs in the Ratman Empire determined some issues.

1. Unify steam rail standards everywhere.

Second, build more steam rail networks.

Third, open up the network between cities.

4. The manned steam train was officially opened.

A series of topics were discussed around steam locomotives, which seemed to indicate these guys' attitudes towards certain things.

Everyone is tacitly avoiding civil war, but at the same time tends to further expand the liquidity within the Ratman Empire. This is a strategy that can benefit everyone.

These issues were rushed through.

Everything is indeed moving towards prosperity.

These greedy guys are forced to adapt to this peaceful era.

The planet formed by this small world was indeed too small. It could no longer accommodate the ever-growing rat people and was gradually becoming a cage.

Fortunately, the rat people will probably not suffer the same fate as most races, being trapped on this small planet, constantly making compromises and concessions, or repeating wars and self-destruction until extinction.

Their gods had prepared a ladder for them.

And encouraged them to walk towards the starry sky.

They will not be trapped in this cage for long.

Although I don’t know why these noisy guys are so favored.
