Chapter 388, After the War, Conflicts in the Rat Empire

The Rat Empire entered a stage of rapid development.

After this war.

Resource cities were built one after another.

More and more prosperous, more and more prosperous.

The exploration of the sky was launched together.

In rounds of negotiations, the Rat Assassins got what they wanted, and the rats also began their own attempts.

This is not a good phenomenon.

In order to cooperate with the war, the Rat Assassins also expanded their size.

But this also made them not so independent after the war.

This is inevitable, the Rat Assassins also need all kinds of resources.

It's just that no longer independent, that means having bias, having bias, especially for these Rat Assassins hiding in the shadows, this is undoubtedly a dangerous thing.

But unfortunately, no one in the Rat Empire can stop the Rat Assassins from deviating from that impartial state.

Until now, Sheng Qi's integration of the Rat Empire is still so far away.

You can't help but admit his efforts.

In mediation, Sheng Qi has actually done a lot of things.

Redistribution of the blood mushrooms of the original temple.

Winning over the big claw priest to get closer to him.

Relying on the black water to accumulate a private army in the sewers of this underground rat city.

Mediating in the divided Western Fleet, and still maintaining his right as the commander of the Western Fleet.

Holding the gear sect and those ocean ports in his own hands.

He has done a lot, but it is still not enough.

How to say it, everything seems to have returned to the starting point.

He went from a rat warlord with real power to a rat priest with only a title, and now, he has become a rat priest with the rights of a rat warlord.

All these years, everything has gone around and around, as if it has returned to the starting point again.

And he also noticed something more terrifying.

The short hair on his body, the thick short hair, they are losing their luster and even starting to fall off.

No, he hasn't done anything yet, only one thing, he hasn't become the guy in his memory, he is far inferior to him.

But time fell on him fairly.

In a panic, he postponed all the matters of today, the meeting, and all those things.

Sheng Qi summoned a group of guys, the guys from the Distortion School.

Not because of anything else, just because these guys claimed that they could make something that could increase lifespan.

After today, the newly established Distortion School has one more supporter.

In fact, it is not just Sheng Qi who is betting on these crazy guys.

Many people have bet on them.

Each of them is a big shot in the Ratman Empire.

It is not surprising, after all, the lifespan of the ratmen is not long, and these big shots even despise their short lives.

It is normal to pursue a longer lifespan.

Of course, in addition to relying on these unreliable guys, there is another way, a way to prolong your lifespan, and that way is not illusory, because it has really happened.

That is the gift of God.

If God gives you a gift, then you can naturally live longer.

It's just a pity that even though the gods had just revealed it not long ago, they were not very confident that they could obtain such a gift.

Sheng Qi was no exception.

Although he felt that he had also received the grace of God since the encounter in the sea, he felt that he had received the revelation of God on the day he took office as the high priest of the rat people.

But in this matter, he also had no confidence.

Does he believe in God, does he believe in the great God? Probably, but does he have absolute confidence, does he have absolute confidence to obtain the gift of the God?

That is not necessarily the case.

Believe, but not that kind of belief.

Everyone is fighting each other in this increasingly complex power structure.

Use a show-like mode to show their contribution to the gods.

Then naturally, it became like this, believe, but not that kind of belief.

"In the grand sacrifice not long ago, the great gods did not leave any gifts."

After doing all this, Sheng Qi began to mutter to himself, looking a little uneasy.

Why is there such uneasiness? Everyone knows the reason.

Those guys from the distorted faction, what they want to do, what they are doing, is not so fair, or absolutely cannot be put on the surface.

Their research may have some blasphemy.

This is why Sheng Qi is speculating about uneasiness at this time, and why Sheng Qi whispered in a low voice.

But there is no way.

He still has many guys who can be called big shots in the Ratman Empire.

They want to live.

………….

The Ratman's exploration of the starry sky has just started, and it is inevitable that it is a bit rough.

Based on the complex drawings that seem like a heavenly book, Gray Stone began his own exploration.

But this is not easy, and Gray Stone has no clue for a long time.

Fortunately, there is not only one feasible way in that pile of complicated information, compared to this complex magic energy engine that looks like a heavenly book.

But there is another method that is more to the rats' liking.

That is a method that relies on flames and explosions to provide kinetic energy.

The big claw priests quickly produced the first batch of test products.

A long tube filled with various flammable materials, then ignited, followed by a rumbling explosion.

Well, the first experiment was not very successful, and even the big claw priests who participated in the first experiment did not survive.

Of course, this is just a minor setback, and they will not give up so easily.

After all, the dark blue soul moon is still hanging high in the sky, and the death comet will still cross the sky at a fixed time.

But how to say it.

Their journey to the starry sky will have many twists and turns and difficulties, or very many twists and turns and difficulties.

There is a long way to go.

The second rat man's experiment on the rocket was still not so successful, and even caused a more exaggerated explosion.

Another batch of big claw priests were sent to the sky.

There is a long way to go.

………….

After the fall of the human empire, the rats experienced a long period of peace without war.

But this was not a good thing. After all the resources and lands they had obtained, as well as the huge sacrifices, were consumed, signs of chaos appeared.

Obviously, the huge land had not been completely consumed, and technology and those super cities were also continuously improving.

But the signs of chaos still rose up regardless of the consequences.

Many problems emerged.

Those rat warlords who lost the war, the huge rat army, the large and small rat mercenary groups formed in the war, and the sacrifices that gradually stagnated and became tight, and the terrifying industrial zone that gradually began to stagnate because of the loss of the war.

This twisted and deformed excess is simply inseparable from the war.

As soon as the war stagnated, all kinds of big and small problems emerged and quickly became acute.

A huge amount of idle troops, a large number of rat warlords who wanted to be kicked away after losing the war, but were difficult to get rid of.

Various super-standard rat mercenary groups.

There are also huge industrial areas that have stopped operating after losing orders.

These problems do not exist alone, but are intertwined with each other, a huge trouble.

It is different now. During the Rat War, the rat warlords owned their own land. Even if there was no war, they could stay in their own territory and sphere of influence. Until later, this right was taken away.

These guys have become completely dependent on support.

Whether there is a war or not, you have to support them.

Now, these rat warlords and those rat mercenary groups are entrenched in the main continent, becoming a veritable bottomless abyss.

The rat lords really want to kick these guys away at this time.

And they are indeed doing so.

As for what the rat warriors will do in the face of such treatment, it seems that there is no need to have more questions.

Don't believe in the bottom line and so-called loyalty of the rats.

These guys fight heretics, fight humans, and have no problem fighting rats.

If most of the industries of the ratmen high-level officials were not swallowed up and dissipated by those super cities, attacking ordinary ratmen cities would become a worthless thing now, and it would be hard to say whether they could even get enough food supplies.

Even if these guys really rebelled, as long as they stopped those steam trains, these ratmen warlords would not be able to get through the scarlet grassland without enough supplies.

In such a situation, those bigwigs can temporarily relax and more dominance belongs to them.

Otherwise, they might have to prepare countermeasures immediately.

But it is better not to go to such a situation, otherwise the rebellious ratmen warlords might be able to instantly make the main continent out of the control of the ratmen empire. In this way, the ratmen empire, which has just finished the holy war, might immediately start a war of counter-insurgency of the same scale.

And it is not impossible.

What those ratmen lords did was really unethical.

After the victory of the war, the backbone and elite of the huge army were withdrawn, but the main group of ratmen warriors were abandoned without hesitation.

No more resources were sent over.

The huge Western Expeditionary Force was abandoned like this.

Even the ratmen lords planned to stuff these lucky guys who had just come out of the cruel war into mines and sell them as slave rats at a low price.

This really stirred up a hornet's nest.

In the chaos and hunger and the fear of becoming slave rats, this group of ratmen instantly turned the area they were stationed in into a chaotic quagmire.

Attacked the newly built resource city, attacked the steam trains coming and going, and robbed all kinds of resources.

More than half of the ratmen warriors quickly degenerated into rebels, and the other half maintained their superficial obedience.

This made the temple guards extremely dissatisfied, but the other ratmen warlords who were also left on the main continent chose to obey the suppression order directly.

They even began to actively promote the chaos in this area.

The rat lords, this group of greedy vampires, shameless guys, disgusting rats, they really took the matter of crossing the river and destroying the bridge to the extreme.

This made all the rat warlords feel sad for the death of the rabbit.

It also completely ignited this powder keg that might explode.

The rat warlords did not want their army to be split up, and those rat warriors did not want to become slave rats after fighting this cruel war.

Discussions appeared again and again in the underground rat city.

It was not easy to get these greedy vampires to give up the blood mushrooms in their hands.

In fact, these guys have already done half of the disarmament, because the elite and commanders in the army have been transferred away by them with more generous rewards.

And raising the huge number of rat warriors has become a complete loss for them.

They didn't care about the corruption of the out-of-control rat warriors on the main continent, and they were even indifferent to the threat of the temple guards to open the Twin Fortresses.

It's normal, because they are not afraid of the out-of-control rat warriors turning against themselves.

Although the number of these guys is so huge.

But what about that? To suppress them, they only need to give a huge amount of blood mushrooms, recruit enough rat mercenaries, and then push those elites who have just retreated from the battlefield, then all this can be done easily.

But if they choose to support these guys, then they will have to pay a huge amount of blood mushrooms every once in a while.

Simple calculations, looking at the long-term, the blood mushrooms naturally helped the rat lords make a choice.

Until the temple guards said lightly after facing these rogues.

"If you don't want to accept it, then they will all belong to us."

Well, they don't want to continue to invest in blood mushrooms. They don't need those lowly guys anymore, so they just give them all to the temple guards.

No! This is absolutely not possible!

After just thinking about this possibility, this group of greedy vampires quickly changed their minds.

Saving money is important, but it does not mean that they are willing to continue to allow the temple guards to expand.

After the rat priests once again started the unstoppable split, the temple guards have actually become the largest force in the rat empire.

No matter what other guys, no matter what conflicts they have, except for the rat assassins, all other factions have reached the same consensus.

That is to suppress the temple guards.

In this meeting, the rat lords were relieved and were willing to give blood mushrooms to appease and maintain the stability of the rioters.

It also prevented the situation from going to the worst possible situation.
