From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 402: The Fate of the Eldar Reconnaissance Ship

These rioting slave rats are much more difficult to deal with than imagined.

Or maybe these guys are not normal.

A large number of dull guys, like zombies, holding those strange-looking weapons, collided with the rat mercenaries on the battlefield. Even if one group was killed, another group would quickly emerge, as if there was no limit.

Extremely tricky and difficult to deal with.

Forced to do so, the rat mercenaries had to send more troops to the battlefield and began to demand more blood mushrooms from the rat merchants.

Otherwise, they would retreat on the spot and allow these slave rats to wreak havoc in a larger area.

It cannot be said that there is no morality in doing so. They are mercenaries, a group of guys who are running madly for blood mushrooms. Those guys pay with blood mushrooms, and they participate in the war. Then they do not bear any more responsibilities, nor will they make any more contributions.

Those ratmen merchants in the Waste City completely cut off the military and converted it to a pure mercenary system. This is the price they have to pay. Although doing so will give up a large amount of maintenance costs supplied to the army in normal times, it will also push the price of a war to an extremely expensive level.

The ratmen merchants gritted their teeth and gave out more blood mushrooms.

Of course, this little bit of blood mushroom may not mean much to them, but who would be willing to be a sucker? Besides, the price to be paid this time has not been settled yet.

Long-term investment still awaits them.

More rat mercenaries broke into the hills and began to fight with the rioting slave rats.

In fact, this war is nothing. The only special thing is that it took place in the hills, which is closer to the Waste City.

The situation on that route was truly a mess at this point.

The ratmen freemen who occupied a large number of independent islands relied on their accumulated resources from the ocean expansion and pieced together a fleet, catching the Western fleet stationed on the coastline of the subcontinent by surprise.

A large number of warships sank, and the remaining ones retreated to the port.

Things became even more chaotic. Under the orders of these ratmen merchants, the ratmen fleet stationed on the main continent began to withdraw, completely ignoring the sadistic ratmen pirates and decided to deal with the rioting ratmen freemen first.

There is something very interesting here.

The Western Fleet, up to now, still nominally belongs to Rope Seven, but looking at the current situation, there seem to be some questions as to who it obeys and which side commands it.

But this is not surprising.

After all, this isn't the first time these guys have done this.

The prices in Waste City have risen sharply, due to the chaos caused by the three battlefields and the sea route that was temporarily cut off.

But inside, things don't seem that simple. Once again, a large number of slave rats were sold off. In such turmoil, it was the rat slave owners who were the first to be hit hard.

Among them, some guys are operating secretly.

As for why you should do this.

The situation became clear two months later when the first steam line to Furnace City was laid in Slag City.

These guys put on an air of righteousness and released a large number of slave rats to serve as cheap labor in the city. They bankrupted the rat slave owners in order to keep such a huge amount of wealth in the Waste City, in their own city, instead of letting them flow to the Furnace City through the opened steam line and use it as fuel for their old enemies.

On the scarlet grassland, cities sprang up one after another, and the ratmen once again occupied every corner of the land.

The leader of the temple guards did not restore the independent functioning structure of these ratmen cities, but instead incorporated these cities connected by a transportation network into part of the super city of Furnace City.

Metal smelting, parts casting, ore mining, goblin herding.

He released a large number of workshops that were originally gathered in the Crucible City and placed these things in these cities.

And for the first time, the concept of professional ratmen was proposed.

All of this can ensure that these cities, such a huge piece of land, can be efficiently mobilized at the first moment when they are needed.

Although such planning does not seem to have any greater effect at present.

After all, even if more people are mobilized, what will they be used for? War?

The war has been at a standstill for a long time.

Let everything be tied up, peace, peace, peace, no enemies, everything is tied up.

So, if there is such peace now, why do we need to carry out such drastic integration?

All this seemed to be prepared for war.

The rat people's self-destructive tendencies have become increasingly strong.

Conflicts cannot be suppressed forever.

But fortunately, before everything exploded at once, the turning point came.

Non-stop fighting broke out in these small hills. With the addition of more blood mushrooms, more and more rat mercenaries poured into the battlefield, and the space for the rioting slave rats to move around became increasingly narrow.

In the end, these guys were trapped on these low hills.

A large number of rat mercenaries were eyeing them covetously.

The fighting power of the rat mercenaries was not bad. After all, many of them had fought in the battle that destroyed the human kingdom.

Although they are indeed not good at large-scale combat, but in comparison, these slave rats are even worse at large-scale combat.

A variety of war machines, extremely chaotic firepower, constant probing, and a shaky defense line.

at last.

Today, the rat mercenaries tore through the defenses of the rebellious slave rats.

A large number of rat mercenaries, armed with all kinds of strange magical firearms and wearing all kinds of things, began to advance excitedly.

To be honest, compared to the slave rats with uniform equipment, these messy rat mercenaries are more like a riot.

This war of suppression is about to reach its final stage.

The excited rat mercenaries began to charge without hesitation, rushing forward along the torn line of defense.

The Gifted Rat, he once again came to the beam of light that made him feel disgusted, and he began to shout loudly.

Obviously, if you don't want to be hung high up in a moment.

He didn't want to face such an outcome.

After all, he had witnessed such a scene too many times, with slave rats being hung high on the rope stained with dark red spots.

He didn't want to be part of this scene.

Then, the choice to make is obvious.

He named himself the Gift, but he was willing to plead with the heretics in order to survive.

So now, the question is, is he valuable to the Eldar who visit this planet?

The answer is cruel.

No.

Yes, no. What attracted those Eldar was the Soul Gem, which was the Aether Crystal, but not his Gifted Rat.

This is a very realistic situation.

The poor guy could only watch the colorful beam of light in front of him fade away.

Around me, the sounds of chaos and noise were growing louder and louder. Those excited rat mercenaries, those rat mercenaries waving lassoes, were getting closer and closer to the top of the hill.

Obviously, he was getting closer and closer to the ending he feared, being hung high up by a rope stained with dark red spots.

The saddest thing is that until now, this guy still hasn't figured out what he really wants.

Becoming a ratman priest and receiving the blessing of the gods is what many ratmen desire. If it could come true, it would be enough to drive many ratmen crazy.

But this is only the first half of the surging desire.

Becoming a ratman priest is for the blood mushrooms, and for those lowly guys who bow their heads unnaturally when they see me.

To obtain the gift from God is to have a longer life, it is because of the continuous and pious worship day and night, and it is to leap high directly after such a gift.

It is not simply to become a ratman priest for the sake of becoming a ratman priest, but to become a ratman priest for the sake of obtaining the grace of God.

As time goes by, even desires are becoming inflated.

It was obvious that he had not kept up with the times since he was sent out of the crowded breeding house and had been digging day and night in the dark mine.

It was not enough. His desire was not hot enough. He couldn't even laugh crazily before facing death.

With red eyes and low roars, the rat mercenaries have already surged up the hill.

Pairs of eyes fell on the Gifted Rat, with all kinds of meanings.

Obviously, this guy was wrong. He probably wouldn't be hanged on the spot. Those ratmen businessmen had offered an extra reward for this ungrateful guy. He would definitely not be hanged on this hill.

Maybe he would be taken back and hung high in the waste city.

This is what those ratmen businessmen want.

It's just that they made some mistakes.

An extremely bright beam of light fell from the sky, carrying with it light and heat like the sun, and landed on the low hill. In an instant, the white light engulfed the low hill. When everything was gone, the low hill had been flattened.

This almost unimaginable picture came from a warship hiding itself in the sky, and from the greedy urging.

This Eldar reconnaissance ship had been repaired, and just when these rebellious slave rats were about to be destroyed, the tall captain made the decision to retreat and prepare for a warp jump.

However, the operator in charge of operating the reconnaissance ship's weapons did not seem to think so.

Their captain was too cowardly, and the ether crystals they collected were far from enough.

Yes, these ether crystals, these ether crystals piled up in the center of the spacecraft's cockpit, are enough to allow every crew member on this reconnaissance ship to live an unimaginable life, but it is not enough, it is far from enough.

They could have thought that the dangers posed by this planet and those strange-looking natives did not reach such an unimaginable level.

But their captain was surprisingly cautious. They were not those weird protectionists and they would not give much thought to these natives.

There were so many ether crystals, and even in the current war, these stupid natives were using their extremely inferior weapons to burn these ether crystals at will.

But they could only bring back this much.

Many crew members on the reconnaissance ship were extremely dissatisfied with the captain on this point.

Everyone is not satisfied with just this.

After all, this may be their only chance.

No matter how much praise the elders gave them in the end, they would never be able to touch the ether crystals on this planet again.

Thus, in the midst of the surging greed, a solo operation took place with the tacit consent of many crew members on the reconnaissance ship.

When the reconnaissance ship was about to take off, the weapon operator mobilized the main gun on the reconnaissance ship, a small light spear, without hesitation.

The surging high-energy particles flooded the hill, destroying everything on it and truly exposing the figures of the elves.

Amid the surging high-energy particles, the reconnaissance ship's camouflage mode was forced to shut down, and a flat, crescent-shaped object appeared in the eyes of all the ratmen in the area.

Accompanied by the disappearing low mountain not far away and the rats rushing up the low mountain.

These rat mercenaries were in a daze. It was obvious that they did not fully understand what was going on.

However, this reaction did not satisfy the guy who decided to go alone in the rat reconnaissance ship.

Another beam of scorching light fell from the sky and passed across the earth. A large number of ratmen disappeared in this terrifying white light.

Fear, fear naturally rises up.

The rat mercenaries did not show that kind of determination or anger. They were just a group of guys who did things for money and often acted very obediently.

Amid screams of fear, they began to run wildly, and the situation suddenly became chaotic.

This situation finally satisfied the greedy guy on the reconnaissance ship.

He stood up.

He spoke loudly to the tall figure at the console.

"Look, Captain, these guys are not as dangerous as you think. We don't need to be so cautious!"

This was a solo trip, not a real rebellion.

After all, greed did not cloud this guy's head.

He raised his arms high, and on the screen behind him was the sight of the rat mercenaries running away in all directions.

This was of course a forced attack. All the other crew members on the scene fell silent, but their eyes were all fixed on the tall figure on the command platform.

obviously.

This guy, blinded by greed, doesn't know what he will face.

After all, the creature they considered to be an unimaginable being was still watching over this planet.

Well, it might be that dangerous. After all, Du Yuan was not prepared to really take action.

And if Du Yuan doesn't take action, these guys will indeed be a bit troublesome.

In terms of destructive power alone, these guys are already able to compete with those demigods who had been entangled with Du Yuan for a long time.

But this time Du Yuan will not help the rat people to deal with this matter.

Then a problem arises.

Do the rat people have the ability to deal with these guys?
