From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 406, Rat Emperor: Revelation

So, Du Yuan also made a move in this chess game, and the last bit of the ancient god's divinity was used by Du Yuan.

Although Du Yuan was not sure whether this final action would have any effect.

But Du Yuan has enough patience.

But for the rat people, time is running out.

After Du Yuan brings down the Kingdom of God and completely anchors himself in this turmoil, Du Yuan will fall into a complete sleep for a long time and will not make any response to the outside world.

Maybe it will be just a short period of time, maybe it will be an extremely long period of time, maybe this period of time is not long at all.

………….

After that horrific and difficult crusade, the ratmen began to make great strides forward by dismantling and using the crashed battleship.

During that grand sacrifice, the heads of the elves were piled up high.

The psychological defenses of the remaining Eldar were completely destroyed.

Several guys knelt down, howling in pain, and were willing to hand over everything they had.

Just by utilizing the nanofactory dismantled from the Eldar's crashed warship, this alone was enough to allow the rat people's technology to make great strides forward.

The Waste City suffered a complete defeat in this crusade.

While the temple guards were conquering one rat city after another, they also began building the rat's first true star battleship.

Of course, in fact, it is just that all the usable parts of the crashed battleship were repaired and prepared, and then embedded in the shell rebuilt by the rats. This battleship is actually quite unworthy of its name.

But regardless, it's progress.

During the construction process, the few elves who were kneeling wanted to take the opportunity to escape. After all, the rats didn't really understand what they were doing and how to do it, so there was a lot of room for maneuver.

But the temple guards don't tolerate them.

After several months of torture and infusion of black blood mushrooms, as well as the use of some special methods, soon these guys' minds were destroyed and nothing was left. They became extremely cooperative, and even loyal. Yes, loyal, loyal to the ratmen, loyal to the ratman empire.

It is hard to imagine what kind of torture these guys went through in just these few months.

The project is progressing rapidly.

In this context, the commander of the temple guards also felt that the opportunity was ripe.

This time, there is no need for war, he will easily take the pearl on the top of the crown of the Ratman Empire.

This time he did not retreat. In this advent war, these guys who called themselves the Eldar helped him clear away almost all possible constraints in the Skaven Empire.

Even the high priest of the rat people, Sheng Qi, took the initiative to welcome him into the underground rat city.

At that Ratman Council, among the reserved expressions of the bigwigs in the Ratman Empire.

He took off the helmet that he had been wearing on his head for a long time, revealing his true appearance. At this moment, on the field, except for the shadow half-buried in the darkness and those high-ranking temple guards, all the other guys showed an expression of surprise, and then an expression of understanding and as expected.

Because of the white hair.

But now he can deal with such expressions calmly.

He is about to be crowned the first emperor of the Rat Empire.

He finally prepared his own name.

The rat people will be integrated into a true empire in his hands.

He will also announce his name to all the rat people.

启！
He will be the first Rat Emperor, Kai!
He will bring enlightenment to all rat people!

The name represents an arrogant attitude.

But no one dared to refute. With the consent of the twelve ratmen councilors and the ratmen high priest Shengqi, the first crown of the ratmen entered the forging stage.

Of course, having another emperor is not an easy thing to do. It means that many things have to change, many, very many things.

The most important and widespread of these is the power structure.

Carrying the majesty of victory, carrying the majesty of the elves' heads piled up on the mottled glazed hill.

Most of the authority of the Ratman Council was directly snatched away by Qi.

Although it seems that since the arrival of peace, the Rat Council, which made the wrong decision due to the promotion of steam trains, has lost most of its authority, this time, Qi's actions are more thorough.

He broke down the power structure of the Ratman Empire into two parallel lines.

The Ratman Parliament and the Ratman Royal Court which is about to enter the preparation stage.

The twelve Ratman Senators, together with the Ratman High Priest, still possess great power. Any matters related to faith in the Ratman Empire fall within their jurisdiction.

But instead, the jurisdiction over ordinary ratmen, many ratmen cities, the command rights of the ratmen army, construction and resource allocation will all be completely separated from them.

In exchange, he, the commander of the temple guards, was even willing to release the temple guards' right to interpret faith and even the control over each temple.

Of course, this exchange was carried out in a very pleasing way.

He would not divide these powers directly into the hands of the twelve ratmen councillors and the ratmen high priest, but would assign three of the twelve ratmen councillors' positions directly to the temple guards, and then delegate the power of interpretation and control of the temple to the three temple guards who served as ratmen councillors.

This was actually a kind of weakening. Before this, he had always held all the power of the temple guards firmly in his hands. In short, the temple guards had never experienced such exaggerated divisions as the rat priests.

But now, as the leader of the temple guards and the controller, he has to take the initiative to carry out such division.

In exchange, the temple guards supported his crazy empire-building.

The temple guards were not happy with his plan. In the eyes of these loyal guards, even if such a structure was to be established, it would be absolute divine supremacy.

Everything should be done for the sake of God. What should be established is also a kingdom of God, not the so-called empire of ratmen.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction, so for the sake of this ratman empire, Qi directly dismantled the temple guards.

No matter how devout they were, the fire of desire was still burning in their hearts. The captains of the temple guards who served as ratmen councilors remained silent about this. The internal conflict among the temple guards that was about to break out was thus transformed into a conflict between the temple guards themselves.

Of course, there is another advantage to doing this. In order to hold on to the power that he has divided, the captains of these temple guards will get close to him at all costs. For a long time, they will be absolutely loyal to him, which will last until he establishes the ratman empire that he has been dreaming of.

By the way, you may be curious, curious, why the other ratmen councilors and Sheng Qi would agree to such a clever stripping of rights and interests.

I can only say that Qi is crazy enough.

He put on the table something that no one could avoid, that is, the blood mushrooms. He gave up the blood mushrooms, that is to say, all the blood mushrooms, the right to harvest the blood mushrooms, the right to collect them, and the right to perform sacrifices. These were fairly released by him to all the guys in the Ratman Council.

This guy is simply a madman. It is hard to imagine that after paying such a high stakes, if he fails, what will be left for him? He will surely be shattered to pieces.

Qi, this guy, is worthy of being judged by Bai Shu as a guy without faith. He has no attachment to the great gods, and no sympathy for the temple guards.

But he is not a fool, although he is indeed crazy enough.

After paying so much and giving up so much, he got what he wanted, which was the separation of faith. He gathered together those guys who adhered to the faith and gathered under the name of the great god, the great god's temple, temple guards, rat priests, rat high priests, blood mushrooms, all of which he nested into the framework of the Ratman Parliament.

Simply put, the great god and faith are still an indispensable and noble part of the Skaven Empire, but they have been restricted and concentrated, or in other words, the paths of those who gain power based on faith have been limited and planned.

All the chaos and struggles involved cannot escape the scope of the Ratman Parliament.

Apprentice rat-man priest, rat-man priest, senior rat-man priest, rat-man councillor candidate, rat-man councillor, rat-man high priest.

Or, apprentice rat-man priest, rat-man priest, rat-man bishop, rat-man archbishop, rat-man cardinal, rat-man pope, perhaps the upward chain like this would be much clearer.

And the temple guards.

Apprentice Temple Guard, Temple Guard, Temple Knight, Grand Knight, Paladin, Holy Knight, you can also make this analogy.

In short, everything will be focused on the Ratman Council, these twelve positions witnessed by the gods and the Ratman High Priest.

After all, the predecessor of the Ratman Senator was the priest of the Ratman Temple.

Then all other things will be released, including city construction, maintenance, commerce, land, army... and a series of other things. These will belong to the Rat Empire that is about to be established, and to him, the Rat Emperor.

Of course, this is an ideal situation, because in reality, it is not as easy to separate them as just piling them all on the Ratman Council or the priests of the Ratman Temple.

Faith permeates every part of the Skaven Empire.

It was extremely easy for them to interfere with and erode the so-called Ratman Empire. Even his coronation as the emperor of the Ratman Empire required the consent of these twelve Ratman senators and the Ratman high priest.

After all, in the entire Ratman Empire, these thirteen positions still have the undecided commander-in-chief, and they are the ones whose destiny is witnessed by the gods.

This is the curse and restraint left by the white rat. Even with such a powerful situation, Qi is now helpless against it.

But fortunately, he was the first emperor of the Rat Empire.

Everything is taking place in this magnificent trend, unfolding in a way that no one had expected. One can only say that Qi is indeed a freak cultivated by the White Rat lineage.

One is to forcibly transform a cowardly race into fanatical believers of crazy evil gods.

One is a faithless madman who wants to forge a normal country out of a group of faith madmen who are like a pile of loose sand.

They are all rebellious.

Even Du Yuan shook his head when he witnessed this scene, feeling somewhat amused.

But this is not enough, what Qi has done is not enough.

The curse left by the white rat was much more tenacious than he expected and was not so easy to break.

The curse of the white rat, the stone slab really bound them tightly.

It wouldn't take much time, after Qi's death, or after his power was weakened, for his empire to simply fall apart and everything would return to how it was before.

The rat people will begin an endless cycle around the contract that was once made.

Before sinking his own kingdom of God, Du Yuan was planning to release the rat man from this bondage, but he did not expect Qi to suddenly jump out. This gave him a familiar feeling, as if he saw the figure who always had a solemn and old-fashioned face and knelt down to worship him day after day.

He no longer needs the faith of the rat people so much now, especially when he is about to sink into the gap between the physical universe and the chaotic world with his own kingdom of God.

Let him help him.

In the center of the grassland city, in front of the big bell that was hung high and engraved with the Imperial Code, a hazy figure suddenly appeared. Looking at the various items engraved on the bell, the hazy figure raised his hand.

"White Rat, I am very grateful to you, but I am probably a little tired of cheese now, so it's time to let go!"

The thumb fell, and at this moment Du Yuan had a rare smile on his face. He was even in the mood to mutter to himself in a teasing tone without anyone seeing him.

But after the thumb fell and the words ended, the smile on his face gradually faded away.

Soon after, the hazy figure disappeared.

Suddenly! The cold soul giant bell in the underground rat city suddenly woke up. For some reason, he felt a little scared. He just felt it carefully, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

This strange feeling made it suspicious for a long time, but in the end it did not come to any conclusion.

No one noticed that there was a fingerprint on the corner of the big clock hanging high in the grassland city.

Will Du Yuan's actions create a new curse?

Probably not, after all, the fingerprints he left this time didn’t mean anything else.

But it allows freedom.

In that blood-red sun, in the empty world, a lonely god sits.
