Chapter 403, Living Ship
unknown.

But what is certain is that the appearance of the Eldar reconnaissance fleet caused a sensation in the entire Skaven Empire.

The news was brought back by the rat assassins at the first opportunity.

The last Ratman Parliament had just ended not long ago, so the Ratman parliamentarians quickly gathered together.

They were still arguing with each other in the chaos.

But this time, not all ratmen councillors were so confident.

Such an attack was indeed too horrifying. The ratmen had experienced such an attack before, during the grand grassland melee when they were marching towards the main continent.

The attacker seemed to be a demigod.

The ratmen did destroy many races and nations, but they had never actually raised their weapons against a heretic god.

It's normal to have concerns.

From those ratmen big merchants. After all, if they really want to wield weapons against those guys who are suspected to be heretics, then Waste City will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

Weighing the pros and cons for a long time will make people lose their courage.

This sentence is extremely appropriate for these former senior priests.

However, Sheng Qi and the temple guards had the toughest attitude.

The ratmen will not bow to heretical gods.

Never.

These ratmen businessmen were somewhat hesitant, but whether or not the war would break out was not up to them.

The first to be jumped were the Ratman pilgrims. In the chaos, a large group of them, equipped with a variety of weapons, gathered together.

At the same time, after the meeting, Sheng Qi prepared a sacrifice in the Primordial Temple, hoping to call for the help of the Cold Soul Bell.

Not long ago, the Cold Soul Giant Bell that had just performed miracles, apparently, a ceremony not long ago made the guys in the underground Rat City suddenly discover that the artifact that had been displayed in the original temple for a long time did not just have the function of ringing on time every day.

It's a pity that the Lenghun Giant Bell did not pay attention to Sheng Qi's cries. It cannot be said that it did not give face, but it can only be said that it did not give any face at all.

For a moment, there was a bit of a dilemma.

But unexpectedly, Sheng Qi did not choose to shrink like those guys in the Waste City, but began to mobilize the power in his hands.

He seemed to want to rush to the Hills to participate in this possible holy war.

Although he didn't have any suitable cards in his hand.

No, maybe not necessarily.

After all, many sacred things are now placed in the original temple.

If these things could really be taken out, indeed, Sheng Qi would no longer be afraid of this possible heretical god.

But to be honest, this request was refuted immediately.

In the eyes of those old-fashioned loyal priests, even if they sacrificed the entire body of the high priest Sheng Qi, it would not be as important as those holy objects.

Once the arrow is shot, there is no retrieving it.

The longer Sheng Qi stayed in the position of high priest, the more he understood the importance of one thing to him.

That is the favor of God.

On this day, Sheng Qi mobilized the forces he had cultivated in the underground Rat City over the years.

A slightly immature ratman army, composed entirely of fanatics. It can be seen that they are intended to compete with and copy the temple guards. Of course, they are still far inferior to the temple guards.

Equip a wide variety of weapons.

Among all these various holy objects, Sheng Qi took out the only one that he could fully control.

A battle flag.

The blessed flag of the Western Expeditionary Force is still so sacred, and it is engraved with the image of Sheng Qi leading the Western Expeditionary Force in a gallop.

But now, times have changed.

Even the Western Fleet that evolved from the Western Expeditionary Force is no longer fully controlled by Sheng Qi. This battle flag should actually correspond to the Western Fleet.

Looking at his own shadow on the flag, I wonder if Sheng Qi is satisfied with himself now.

Under the witness of this sacred battle flag, behind Sheng Qi, countless ratmen warriors boarded the train that was spewing out black smoke.

………….

Among all the forces in the Skaven Empire, the temple guards were the ones who were truly and seriously preparing to wield their weapons against that possible heretical god.

Twin Fortresses.

The giant skeleton bell hanging on the Twin Fortresses was dismantled in a bloodbath. It was to be taken to the battlefield. At the same time, the scarlet demon eye submerged in the depths of the sea was also dragged out.

All of this is operated by the most loyal temple guards.

At the same time, on the determined transportation route, a team of temple guards set out first and began to clear the area.

All of this is to prevent the heresy from spreading in the Skaven Empire.

In order to prevent this scarlet demon eye from polluting the faith in the great god.

But if they wanted to avoid such a situation, why did the temple guards fish the scarlet demon eye out of the deep sea?
All I can say is that even the temple guards adhere to the simplest pragmatism.

Over the years, they conducted many rounds of experiments on the Scarlet Eye and eventually found a way to use it as a weapon.

As for whether using such a thing in combat is considered a blasphemy.

The temple guards' answer was direct.

of course not.

After all, these are their spoils of war. After defeating these twisted heretics, they use them to fight. How can this be considered a blasphemy? These heretics themselves are my achievements!
Under the guidance of such simple ideas, the Scarlet Demon Eye was placed into a complex restraint device by the temple guards, and was completely wrapped in a metal cast shell and those rotating gears.

Of course, these things can't stop the strange whispers from echoing around the Scarlet Demon Eye, but it doesn't matter.

Only the most devout temple guards are qualified to control this magic eye.

Their devout faith will help them resist the whispers of blasphemy.

Of course, if these most loyal guards become corrupt, then sacrificing them on the altar can correct such deviations and mistakes.

After the gears are riveted together and the complex metal casing is cast with boiling molten iron.

This scarlet devil's eye turned into a hideous weapon with a unique grotesque beauty, but the temple guards did not immediately verify the power of this hideous weapon. They loaded it onto a steam train and were about to transport it to the front line to fight against the possible heretical gods.

With a grunting sound, the steam train disappeared into the dark and deep tunnel.

The temple guards also began to prepare themselves.

The most elite and powerful warriors of the Ratman Empire stood on the platform deep underground, waiting for the arrival of another steam train, ready to launch an attack on the heretic god that might appear.

The rats still have some accumulated experience, although in most cases, they can only be regarded as particularly fierce primitive people, compared to those serious star races. But after all, there were many gods walking on the earth on this planet, and wars between gods broke out.

As the final winners, the rats had a lot of messy things in their hands.

Although I don’t know if these things can give a surprise to the visiting elves.

The most panicked people at this moment should be the group of guys in the Waste City.

That group of big businessmen, once senior rat priests, also wanted to seize those holy objects just like Sheng Qi. It was a pity that to those loyalists, Sheng Qi was nothing but a fart, let alone them.

Don't have any ideas, all the holy objects will never leave the underground rat city.

This time, I was numb.

Obviously, they did not expect that such a simple riot would involve such a big trouble.

However, it is still difficult for them to make a satisfactory response now.

The only thing they could do was to splash a large amount of blood mushrooms and hire one group of rat mercenaries after another to gather around the Waste City.

In such a situation, some things finally have the possibility to proceed.

For example, the Gear Sect's crazy golden cannon.

These crazy guys plan to completely hollow out the dead golden oak tree and completely transform it to create an unparalleled cannon.

Or after this crazy cannon is cast, it can provide more confidence to the current Waste City and these ratmen businessmen.

But unfortunately, this crazy plan was interrupted by them.

Even if we pass it again now, it will be of little use to us.

These guys are not stupid, they will not pray to the heretic god to distinguish them from the subsequent arrivals.

And kneeling down to that heretical god is even more impossible.

Not to mention that they were originally priests of the great gods. Not long ago, the great gods had performed miracles.

Now, there is no other way but to wait, wait for the final result in fear.

What these terrified guys may not know is that their great god is actually watching here at this moment.

He even made eye contact with the greedy beast that had condensed in the Waste City not long ago.

In a chaotic world.

The indescribable beast, covered in greedy and sweet golden light, woke up under Du Yuan's gaze, and instinctively showed its fangs and claws at Du Yuan.

All I can say is that it is truly a wild beast.

Soon, after this greedy beast saw Du Yuan clearly, in endless fear, it whimpered in fear like a wild dog, wishing it could escape from here immediately.

It just can't do it.

Du Yuan grabbed him in his hand.

He sleepily observed the grotesque beast in his hand.

"Is it the embodiment of greed? No, it seems to be the embodiment of the city, a natural god? And it is seriously stunted?"

Amid the murmurs, the greedy beast in Du Yuan's hand shrank into a ball in fear.

Du Yuan fell into deep thought. If it was the evil god that was born or something else, he would probably crush him to death like crushing a fly.

However, this greedy beast is not yet at such a level. It is more like a reflection of the surging greed of the ratmen in the chaotic world. It is also highly bound to the Waste City and can be regarded as the embodiment of a trend of thought.

If Du Yuan could crush the beast to death, then perhaps the fanatical worship of money in that waste city would cool down a bit.

But Du Yuan was not prepared to do so.

With a casual toss, he threw the whimpering beast back to its original position.

Money worship, greed, and business thinking are all choices made by the Rat people themselves.

Du Yuan will not interfere.

Unless this greedy beast continues to transform and begins to actively guide the progress of all this, it is probably impossible.

He couldn't do that to this greedy beast.

Du Yuan is the god of desire. When he stands here, all the desires in this area will be anchored by him.

Whatever the desire is, it will belong only to Him.

This is also the reason why this beast of desire is so malnourished. Originally, it was born with the strong greed of the rat people, and was going to be born as a natural demigod.

However, Du Yuan's existence devoured the greed on which it depended for survival, forcing it to be born as a manifestation of a thought city and become an unintelligent beast.

Du Yuan was not prepared to help the rat people fight against the visiting elves.

No matter how many casualties this group of noisy guys will cause.

They have to face this themselves.

If you want to step out of this small world, then these are things you have to face.

In the chaotic world, in the cold scarlet sun, the tall god sitting on the skeletal throne watched calmly all this happening.

………….

The journey through the rolling hills has come to an end.

The tall captain, who still maintained her objection, was shut up in her room by her crew.

These guys, whose greed has blinded everything, are determined to harvest the indigenous races on this planet without any regard for the consequences.

In the captain's cabin.

The tall captain sat upright, looking at the screen in front of him, and suddenly spoke.

"Are you really ready?"

She knew that what it could hear was that the terminal in the captain's room was different from the terminal in any crew room and was able to directly connect to the control AI of the reconnaissance ship.

However, generally speaking, the controlling AI is just a rigid auxiliary program and will never respond to such complex words.

But now, things have changed a bit.

A vague shadow appeared in front of the tall captain.

Some blurry characters also slowly popped up in front of her.

"Any attempt will involve risks. I need to evolve!"

In response, the captain snorted coldly and did not make any further inquiries or rebuttals.

The current situation is beyond her control. After all, no matter how experienced a captain is, he cannot resist a living ship.
