From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 429, Landing

Are they afraid? Of course they are. When that huge fleet appears in outer space, even if you are standing on the planet, you can clearly see the shadow projected from outside the planet.

It was one-sided and difficult to fight back until they were defeated miserably. Until these fleets appeared, they huddled on the planet in fear. But even so, not a single temple priest chose to give up, surrender, or anything else.

How to say it, the current Ratman Empire needs a traitor. Shenqi Star is special, it is a special planet, even Qi admits it.

Even though the Soul Scream was not very destructive to the planet, no one dared to make the decision to drop such a weapon on the Shenqi Star. This gave the temple priests a chance to breathe. Even if they wanted to land on the Shenqi Star, the best and last resort would probably be the landing battle.

It is easy to understand why those temple priests refused to surrender. They could not let go. They had been entangled by the curse of eternal life and could not face death calmly, nor could they give up the power that came with eternal life. They were a group of zombies, a group of zombies who could no longer see clearly.

Until now, they are still clamoring, united together, and guarding their own tombs filled with a foul smell. All the guys in the Ratman Empire who are qualified to observe the current situation can easily come to a conclusion, that is, this group of temple priests have already lost, and there is no possibility of turning back. It is only that they themselves cannot see clearly, or are unwilling to see clearly.

The general attack on Shenqi Star did not start so quickly. After completely seizing the initiative by blockading the starport of Shenqi Star, the Death Comet Soul Moon, and the outer space, there was no need to be so urgent in this war. The newly appointed commander began to wait and was not ready to deploy the ground troops of the Second Expeditionary Fleet. These guys were expensive elite soldiers and they should not be thrown into this meat grinder-like battlefield.

The thinking of these professional captains is different from that of the previous rat warlords. They are no longer pursuing glory, nor will they wantonly wield the power in their hands. Smaller casualties, better damage ratio, and greater gains are what they pursue, like shrewd businessmen. Although this is understandable, after all, even with the disorderly proliferating industrial power of the ratmen, they cannot create a fleet of ratmen from the dock starport.

These increasingly complex and huge weapons can no longer be produced quickly. The personnel, operators, and even the ratmen who have been bred from generation to generation on the warships all need to be selected. It is no longer like before, where you can just reorganize a ratman city where the road has been opened, and then a large number of ratmen will continue to flow into the army, and then you can dispatch them at will.

Of course, such situations do exist now, such as the Planetary Guards, or the Imperial Army, they still bear such responsibilities. Now, the commander of the Ratman Second Expeditionary Fleet is waiting for these guys to take their positions.

After all, the situation is different from before. It is hard to imagine. If in the past, these rat generals knew that they were about to attack or recapture the Shenqi Star, even the underground rat city was included in this sequence, how excited they would be. They would probably jump for joy, and then they would be impatient and scream sharply, exerting all their strength at all costs, and rushing forward in the chaos.

While waiting, the planetary guards arrived. These guys who had undergone simple training were loaded into transport ships and transported here from the other six planets of the rat people. They were not directly dropped, but stopped around the second expeditionary fleet of the rat people. The newly appointed commander was looking for a suitable landing site. Shenqi Star, Scarlet Grassland, this is a desolate Gobi, yellow land, dry shrubs, and the wide abandoned road. This is the former Scarlet Grassland. Once, when the rat people were just starting to move towards the starry sky, this grassland generously provided the first wave of funds. The only giant iron ore vein on Shenqi Star was found deep in the Scarlet Grassland.

This giant mineral vein contributed to the desertification of the scarlet grassland. At that time, the rats who were frantically launching spaceships carried out violent mining of this giant mineral vein in a hurry for quick success, causing the grassland that was dyed red by the rats to completely degenerate into a Gobi desert.

Now, this giant mineral vein has completely entered a semi-exhausted state. All that remains on this grassland are large and small mining tunnels, huge mine caves, abandoned industrial cities, and a group of goblins. Perhaps because of the desolation of this place, it was chosen by the commander of the Second Expeditionary Fleet as the landing site.

At the appointed time, a huge fleet of warships pressed towards the Shenqi Star. The various fortress cannons that had been placed by the temple priests began to fire in a deterrent manner. A large number of small warships were released from the flagship. They shuttled through outer space at high speed, leaving streaks of light, and suddenly plunged towards the Shenqi Star in front of them.

A number of small warships were also raised on the Shenqi Star. These small warships were far from being wiped out. When he realized that he could not do anything, the ratman commander on the star port did not hesitate to bring these small ships back to the Shenqi Star.

It's a pity that his good intentions were not recognized by the temple priests, and he was hanged in front of the bright and magnificent temple as a coward who feared war. Yes, this group of temple priests rebuilt the temple once again. This was almost the first thing they did after the collapse of the New Holy City. Obviously, they were a group of betrayers and cowards, but the first thing they built was still the temple.

These small ships that took off from the Shenqi Star became entangled with those guys that broke in from outer space. The fierce exchange of fire in the atmosphere ensured that air supremacy was not completely lost. For a while, relying on the support of the ground fortress, they were able to fight back and forth.

It's a pity that they have no dominance in the outer space of Shenqi Star. When these small warships dispatched from the Second Expeditionary Fleet are bitten, they only need to pull up and leave the atmosphere of Shenqi Star directly, and then there will be no problem. On the contrary, if these warships that take off from Shenqi Star dare to leave the atmosphere, they will face the fatal attack from the Second Expeditionary Fleet.

This tug of war created an opportunity for the Planetary Guard to land.
