Chapter 415, The Collapse of the New Holy City
The good news is that the Eldar did not mobilize the most powerful fleet to rush towards the rats who had just entered the universe. The bad news is that even so, the rats probably had absolutely no way to fight against this Eldar expeditionary force.
The good news is that this Eldar expeditionary force may be stuck in the disordered time for a period of time before it can get out of the chaotic center of the physical universe. The bad news is that the rats are not preparing for this war, developing, continuing to explore, etc. They are going to start a civil war.
The elderly Sheng Qi did not suppress the last seat of the temple councilor who was grinning at him.
Everything went smoothly at the beginning. After all, the rats have an extremely excellent virtue, that is, it doesn’t matter whether you have done it or not, but how I do it.
There is no investigation, no deliberation. When it comes to Sheng Qi’s position, what he has to do is actually very simple, that is, list a suspect and then press him to death like an ant.
There is no doubt that Sheng Qi can do this. He is no longer that empty puppet. Although he still cannot completely have the final say over the rat priests, there are too many old guys from the old times who are still lingering.
But he is undoubtedly a real rat priest now. In that religious reform, Sheng Qi took back most of the power and hung his title of high priest over the heads of all the rat believers in the current rat empire.
He finally did it, even if it took him a long time to become a real rat priest.
Now Sheng Qi, who he wants to attack, it is very simple, just a proclamation is enough, just a few simple words, the temple priest who was introduced to balance the contradiction between the new generation and the old guys in the rat parliament.
The proud and smooth-going rat priest, like the protagonist, like the center of everything, was taken away from everything, fell from the high position, and was in disbelief.
Obviously, this young guy didn't realize that the rules are just a fig leaf for the weak.
He thought so. He might think that he might be able to fight with Sheng Qi, the old and decayed high priest, in the framework of the Temple Council and the rules that the rat priests tacitly abide by, and hold meetings one after another, like standing on the ring and fighting each other, using all kinds of chips, clues, evidence, interests, and these vain things to compete.
Maybe he also thinks that he can step on Sheng Qi's head and then Sheng Qi's prestige will be further improved. He thinks that he is the warrior who is ready to embark on the road of slaying the dragon.
But with just a light sentence, Sheng Qi easily stripped everything off this guy who thought he could peek at a higher position, this young guy.
From the wilderness to the starry sky, the most fundamental rules of the rat people have never changed.
Power, everything is power.
In the light words of Sheng Qi, countless young priests, temple knights, pilgrims, and rat believers, they put on armor, picked up weapons, and began to cheer enthusiastically, gathering together.
Do you think that Sheng Qi relied on his extremely long life and his vain qualifications to sit firmly in the position of high priest? He relied on the religious reform to step by step grasp the huge organization of the rat church step by step. At that moment, he became a real rat priest.
It's just that this young fool is not hopelessly stupid after all. The last bargaining chip he prepared for himself worked.
An army, a mixed fleet composed of retired warships and modified ships of the rat fleet.
Such an army jumped from the third colony of the rat people to the star port of Shenqi Star through the Miracle Corridor.
It's a miracle, right? Such an army broke into Shenqi City so swaggeringly. This is an incredible thing, but it just happened like this.
The two centers of the Rat Empire, the former capital of the empire, the reserve of the Rat Church, the origin of the rats, the cultural center, the important resource node, the most important bargaining chip of the Rat Church, and the real sacred place.
Today, he was completely torn off all the fig leaves by a young Rat Priest, and even his underwear was left.
But the actual reason is not surprising. When Qi moved the capital of the Rat Empire, in that vigorous stripping, there was no regular Rat Army stationed on Shenqi Star.
And it is also because of Qi's existence that the Rat Church has never blatantly crossed that line and formed a large-scale Rat Fleet regardless of the consequences. Even the military forces stationed on Shenqi Star are difficult to gather together in rounds of wrangling and mutual checks and balances. These arrogant guys have been suppressing for a long time that they don't think that Shenqi Star will be truly attacked.
After all, no matter what, this is a truly sacred heart. Even Qi had mixed emotions when facing the God Qixing.
So, in this situation, a guy who was about to lose rushed in regardless and did something that was shocking and unprecedented.
In the fierce exchange of fire, the few defensive guns on the Shenqi Star Port were destroyed, and the port lost the ability to attack outward.
This ragtag fleet wanted to further occupy the star port to put more pressure on the temple priests on Shenqi Star, but with just a simple attempt, they retreated in disgrace.
They couldn't do it. Well, this rebellion started by the desperate loser was really embarrassing, whether it was the temple priests who had their underwear torn off or the former temple priest who lost red eyes.
There are temple knight guards stationed on the Shenqi Star Port, as well as the Inquisition and the Rat Assassins stationed there. The temple knight guards and the Inquisition are all guards separated from the former temple guards. Maybe you now understand why this rebel fleet cannot occupy this star port.
It is because of various historical issues that there is no systematic rat fleet stationed in the star field of Shenqi Star. Otherwise, how could these miscellaneous fleets composed of second-hand warships and modified ships show off their power.
In the landing battle, these guys were killed and defeated, and they could only run back to the warships and take off urgently.
No matter how great the advantage of space power is, if you want to truly occupy a planet, you still have to rely on ground troops. Even now, land wars and armies are still an indispensable part.
The starport cannot be occupied, and this group of rebels cannot destroy it.
These big figures on Shenqi Star, those elite private armies stationed, they can't take off to the sky to fight this rebel. Although this is only a second-hand fleet, it is at least a large-scale rat fleet, which is not something that the large number of reconnaissance ships stationed on Shenqi Star can deal with.
The situation is in a stalemate.
But the situation will not always be so deadlocked.
Of course, he was not the only one who prepared the Ratman Fleet in private. Don't doubt the hidden thoughts of these guys. It's just that they have always been tacitly agreed, or in other words, they are afraid to become the obvious leader.
This guy who lost his eyes was just a trigger, a spark, but he successfully ignited everything.
On the second day after the arrival of this fleet, there was still no achievement, and he was also a loser who did not exchange for any compromise negotiations. This young former Temple Councillor had already felt the fate of his destiny. Even this last madness did not change anything.
In the frenzy, he issued an attack order.
Soul bombs and magic bombs were dropped from the orbit of the Godly Star.
This crazy guy no longer expected to survive. He just wanted to bite those guys hard before he died.
The New God City was collapsing, and a large number of steel high-rises collapsed in the attack. Countless rats ran wildly in panic, but facing the attack thrown from the sky, they did not even have the opportunity to react.
Sheng Qi lowered his eyelids and looked at everything in front of him.
He raised his head high.
I don't know what he was thinking.
The bombing stopped soon, but the new holy city that was built was reduced to ruins, no longer prosperous.
Wailing, blood, flames, running ratmen, fire-twisted steel, the city became a ruin.
Continuously, one ratman fleet after another came to Shenqi Star through the subspace. The moment after the crazy guy launched the orbital bombing, these were the private fleets of the temple councilors, the hidden fleets, the power that was not put on the surface, and the same source as the rebel fleet that was bombing Shenqi Star.
The rebel fleet became a hot commodity at this moment.
Crazy pressure, these guys all wanted to swallow a bite of this rebel fleet.
To some extent, a carnival began.
Strength is the only creed in the Rat Empire, and there is nothing wrong with that. Therefore, since the religious revolution, after Sheng Qi and Qi Cheng reached a silent understanding, an invisible shackle fell.
There is always no shortage of ambitious people in the Rat Empire, and what is more terrifying is that these ambitious people often have power.
Sheng Qi is already old, and he is increasingly unable to suppress these ambitious temple priests, and these greedy guys who have survived from the old times to the present.
It's just that the fallen chain still works.
Now, an opportunity has come.
So, a carnival began.
These rat fleets, those temple priests, the rat fleets in their hands did not leave like this after tearing up the crazy guy, in a tone to prevent such a thing from happening again, using the collapsed and burning new holy city as an excuse.
They left all these rat fleets.
For a moment, these guys became saviors, and Sheng Qi's prestige suffered a major blow. He, the old high priest, failed to prevent this tragedy and the collapse of the new holy city.
Sheng Qi's prestige fell to the bottom, and these temple priests jumped up in such a terrible disaster. Sheng Qi could no longer suppress them. The dense rat warships were cruising over the Shenqi Star.
All this went so smoothly that it was unbelievable.
In the flames, in the twisted steel, in the wailing, in the corpses of countless rats.
These ambitious guys were laughing wildly.
Everything is going out of control.
The civil war has entered the countdown. Qi will not allow this group of greedy guys to completely control the Rat Church. When Sheng Qi can no longer suppress this group of guys, there is no doubt that the Rat Fleet that was about to enter the expedition and the huge Rat Fleet displayed on the Fortress Star Port will turn around without hesitation and then break into this sacred area along the miracle channel.
This sacred planet surrounded by countless halos, this planet of origin of the Rat, will become the battlefield of this civil war.
………….
The collapsed New Holy City has become an undoubted tragedy, but it has also become an opportunity for some Rat boys.
The establishment of the New Holy City can also be regarded as a miracle for the former Rat. The Rat priests who rolled and crawled out of the underground Rat City built a steel city, a city of Tongtian, in this barren mountain range at an extremely fast speed. A super city that was once unprecedented for the Rat.
At the same time, this also brought about the decline of the underground rat city. The most intuitive yardstick of such changes is the ratman industrial zone that has gradually become a garbage dump after being abandoned.
The Desolate Mountain Industrial Zone, which was once the first of the three major industrial zones in the Ratman Empire, has been completely abandoned and filled with a large amount of garbage thrown from the New Holy City. It is difficult to see what it looked like before from this huge garbage dump, and it is difficult to imagine how important this place was to the rats.
The only traces left are the blast furnace tips that have emerged a little bit from the garbage dump.
In fact, this situation is not unique to the underground rat city industrial zone. After the New Holy City rose from the ground, almost the entire surface of the Desolate Mountain became a garbage dump.
These continuous mountains are not suitable for building cities, but the ratman priests who ran out still left the city here. As a result, huge steel pillars were cast one by one, and the city was built up little by little in the sky.
The city was left in the sky, and the surface of the Desolate Mountain under the city naturally became a huge garbage dump.
