Chapter 417, Liquidation
Soon after, with the unanimous support of some guys, a large number of small soldiers were hanged on the execution ground.
Ratmen of all sizes were sent to the rusty execution ground as soon as they entered the prison. The cold steel cable was put around his neck, and the gatekeeper rat's body couldn't stop trembling, but at the moment of execution, he unexpectedly calmed down.
He thought of his children. Fortunately, he had sent his second talented child to the Rat School.
The pedal fell, and the body fell under the action of gravity. The steel cable on the neck was tightly tightened, and he struggled painfully in suffocation until he died.
The Rat reporters who had been prepared in the execution ground were eager to press the shutter for such a scene.
In just one day, all the Rat newspapers put a piece of news on the most eye-catching page of their own newspapers.
The title was an eye-catching one.
"The guy who betrayed the great emperor paid the price he deserved! 》
All the people involved in this matter were united as never before, and wanted to put an end to this matter with great efficiency.
At this time, the guards sent by Qi to investigate the matter had just arrived at the star port.
But I am afraid that this will not achieve the results they want, such a clever means.
In the center of the star port, in a residential area where every inch of land is valuable, a spaceship that does not look so outstanding on this street, and even a little mediocre, landed.
A rat man who already showed some old age walked out of the spaceship.
He is the manager of the Circulation Administration Bureau of the Eastern Port Area of the Star Port, and also a powerful rat man bureaucrat.
But that was all in the past. Just now, he took the initiative to resign from his position.
On the grounds of poor management.
Obviously, he is not one of the abandoned guys, but compared with those real pawns, he is more decent.
He walked into his home leisurely, leaning on his palm, and a rat man was already sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
He paused for a moment, but he was not stage frightened. The style that he had emphasized for a long time finally brought him some calmness.
Soon after, a cup of mushroom tea was brought to the uninvited guest, and he looked very interested.
"It seems that you already know who I am!"
The rat man did not reply immediately, but poured himself a cup of mushroom tea, blew away the rising hot steam, and took a small sip.
"No, I don't know who you are, but you are a guest."
The rat man said calmly, but his words did not attract any admiration, but made the expression of the rat man sitting in front of him even colder.
"Your ridiculous style is really disgusting!"
The conversation ended like this without more words. The sitting rat man waved his hand, and soon, a team of rat warriors rushed in.
At this moment, the calmness on the rat man's face was no longer there, and he was more flustered. It was a pity that no one was willing to listen to what he wanted to say.
Soon, he was carried out with his hands tied up. Soon, he would be taken to the execution ground and treated like the pawns he looked down upon.
These guys all got one thing wrong. Qi sent these guards to the star port to hold them accountable for the warship leak, not to investigate or find evidence. They came to hold them accountable. In short, they came to kill people.
There was no need for any evidence or procedures. It can be said that almost none of these rat bureaucrats had clean butts. If you kill nine out of ten, you will miss one. If you kill nine out of a hundred, you will still have to kill half of them.
Soon, a group of middle-level rat bureaucrats were taken to the execution ground. The baffle fell, and these steel cables that had just been stained with blood were about to start operating again. This time, these guys who claimed to be decent and stylish performed much worse than the last batch of pawns.
Tears were flowing, incontinence, and constant struggle. They wanted to shout something, but the imperial guards who were executing them were indifferent to it.
Under the stage, the ratmen reporters arrived again, but compared to the excitement and impatience last time, this time their faces were filled with fear and disbelief, perhaps because they recognized these guys struggling on the steel cables without any dignity.
After all, there are many big figures among these guys who are difficult to touch among the lower-level ratmen.
Not long after, a new newspaper was printed, and on the most important page, the struggling scenes of these hanged big figures appeared.
The title was.
"A large number of derelict ratmen bureaucrats were executed!"
Such a simple sentence made every ratman who got the newspaper tremble for a while.
In these years, Qi has put most of his energy into foreign exploration and the formation of the ratmen fleet, but he is not a kind emperor. He has wielded the butcher knife more than once in the turmoil, but this time, obviously, obviously, some guys have forgotten, forgotten Qi's cruelty, perhaps thinking that he is really old?
Fear has come again.
These Imperial Guards began a frantic pursuit in the star port. They didn't need evidence or foreshadowing. As long as they thought you were involved in this matter, you would appear on the cold execution ground the next day.
Within a few days, some guys were scared. They were really scared.
They decided to do something. No matter what, they couldn't let these Imperial Guards continue.
Some new abandoned children were selected. This time, a group of new ratmen were thrown out, including a deputy captain of the star port patrol fleet, along with a large number of ratmen bureaucrats, ratmen caravans, engineers, and laboratories. At one time, tens of thousands of ratmen were thrown out.
At the same time, it also exposed more detailed information about the warship. Obviously, those temple priests were far more than just looking for a few retired rat warships and a few early retired rat warships. They colluded with rat merchants, engineers, city managers of resource planets, and high-level commanders of the rat fleet. Unknowingly, this network covered all aspects of the upper and lower levels.
Obviously, these temple priests were really prepared to build a rat fleet by themselves. The technology leaked from the rat engineer alone had already given them such capabilities.
Qi's anger was not without reason. The upper and lower levels of the rat empire were really crawling with bugs.
The execution lasted for a week. Every day, a large number of rats were sent to the gallows, and the bodies were randomly thrown and piled up.
For a time, this terrifying pursuit of accountability had a tendency to calm down, and the turbulent situation had the possibility of stabilization. Those guys who were still hiding in the dark finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But is it really over?
After executing all the tens of thousands of ratmen, the stern-faced captain of the Imperial Guard raised his head from the pile of corpses.
He muttered to himself.
"Not enough, not enough!"
So, the endless search and pursuit began.
Those greedy people could no longer give more scapegoats, and at the same time, the endless approach of the Imperial Guard was almost forcing them into a desperate situation.
Even the weak goblins dared to wave their weapons at the enemy after being forced into a corner, let alone these greedy and cruel ratmen.
When the Imperial Guard once again rushed into the bureaucratic residence in the center of the star port and dragged out a ratman who was lying on the ground, trembling and crying, at this time.
A deal with them began.
As soon as he walked onto the street, the expression on the face of the captain of the Imperial Guard changed.
This central street is too quiet, which is not normal. Although a series of things happened in the star port recently, the rat merchants will never be afraid of these things. They regard money as more important than their own lives.
In the distance, on a tall building, a rat sniper pulled the trigger in his hand, aiming at the captain of the Imperial Guard.
Sure enough, something was wrong.
The captain dodged such a sniper attack, and broke the glass of a shop on the street while rolling, covering his figure.
Other members of the Imperial Guard also hid their figures.
The captain held the weapon in his hand with a relieved expression. His goal was achieved. Now all he had to do was to survive.
Of course, he might not survive.
But he was not afraid of this. He opened the communication box on his collar and shouted to the other Imperial Guard soldiers in his hands in a solemn tone.
"For the great emperor! For the empire!"
Soon, he got a fanatical response.
"For the great emperor! For the empire!"
The captain of the Imperial Guard did not let go of the ratman bureaucrat who was thrown in the middle of the street. A beam of energy tube pierced through the bureaucrat's thigh, forcing him to crawl on the ground in pain.
Such behavior completely angered the attackers.
Soon, with the harsh sound of the engine, one ratman patrol ship after another came to this street, and teams of ratman warriors jumped off the patrol ships.
There was no intention to cover up anything. These ratman warriors came from the Star Port Patrol Fleet. The matter seemed to be more serious than imagined.
I'm afraid that the top leaders of the entire Star Port Patrol Fleet are inseparable from the warship outflow incident. This is a big guy who can be regarded as a real ratman expedition fleet only without a flagship.
In this way, it is not surprising that they dared to directly surround and kill the Imperial Guard sent by Qi to hold them accountable.
Obviously, the rats hiding in the dark felt that they could do all this very cleanly, and at the same time, they also felt that they were qualified to let Qi forgive them this time.
A chaotic battle began on the central street of the star port. The quality of this Imperial Guard was much higher than that of the Skaven warriors of the Star Port patrol fleet that kept landing.
After all, these guys were not considered regular Skaven troops, but just a group of security teams.
For a while, they were unable to defeat this Imperial Guard, which had very few people.
In anger, a big guy was dropped by them. The street was shaking slightly, and the big guy landed. It was a tank, a sharp-edged magic tank.
The Ratman tanks are much more beautiful than those during the planetary civil war, and they are not only more beautiful.
Prism magic cannon, tearer machine gun, anti-magic armor, full magic rat power system, anti-gravity array, self-circulation system.
With this luxurious configuration, this tank can even be used as an airdrop chamber and can be directly dropped from a height of two thousand meters. It is the most advanced configuration of the Ratman Empire at present, the magic pioneer.
Even the number of equipment in the Ratman army is rare.
After all, the price is too expensive.
Such a pioneer tank is even more expensive than a slightly inferior medium-sized battleship, but it is not uncommon to appear in the hands of this star port patrol fleet. After all, these guys are famous for their wealth due to the star port.
After this luxurious tank was airdropped, the patrol team ratmen who were beaten by the Imperial Guard gathered together and began to charge with this magic tank.
The shops on the street were easily driven through, and the accumulated obstacles were easily wiped out by the prism turrets on the Forerunner. At the same time, the weapons in the hands of the Imperial Guards were helpless against the tanks equipped with anti-magic armor.
The captain roared again.
"For the great emperor! For the empire!"
He still got a response quickly, but this time the response was full of determination.
"For the great emperor! For the empire!"
The situation could no longer be saved, and soon, the Forerunner tank rushed to the front of the Imperial Guard.
The fierce exchange of fire gradually decreased, accompanied by the last angry roar and the explosion that followed, and finally, all the sounds stopped.
The captain was in a very bad state. His abdomen was pierced by the magic beam, leaving a huge charred hole. His life was slowly passing away, and he was gasping for breath.
Those despicable cowards who curled up in the shadows did not intend to kill him so easily.
It didn't matter. A smile appeared on his face. He had done what he wanted to do. His mission was completed. Although he was going to die, he was ready to die when he rushed to Xiangxing Port.
He pointed the magic gun at his head and roared loudly.
"I'm waiting for you, despicable bugs!"
"For the great emperor! And for the empire!"
He pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the hot magic beam instantly pierced the head of the captain of the Imperial Guard, and he fell heavily.
