Chapter 419, Great God! Will you come back?
Now there was only one reason left for an outright civil war.
Well, in fact, there is still a little preparation. In most cases, the Skaven Sect and the Skaven Empire are one and the two are intertwined.
Qi initiated a communication to Sheng Qi after a long absence.
Of course, this is not a face-to-face decision in the conventional sense, but a time-consuming, intermittent communication.
The rat people have not completely solved the communication problem so far, because this problem involves subspace. Although their gods have left them a stable subspace path, a miracle, which allows them to observe this without having to face the infinite chaos. It is a strange space, but to the rat people, the subspace is still a wonderful book that has not yet opened its pages.
They do not understand subspace and cannot make more use of subspace, so subspace communication is naturally impossible for them.
Rat engineers have given a different solution to this problem, that is, it is difficult for ultra-large starry sky base stations to use subspace for communication, so they use light, radio waves, magnetic fields, this series of things, plus The receiving and transmitting ports with sufficient power connect the various planets of the Rat Empire together on a physical scale.
Of course, even if this idea is achieved, it is difficult to avoid the huge delay. Even light has an upper limit on the speed in the physical universe, but it is still necessary to do all this.
Even a delayed connection is better than a complete disconnection. Even now, Qi's philosophy has not undergone any major changes.
That's integration, that's clustering.
After Qi sends a communication request to Shengqi, a special signal ship will complete the reception of the request, and then immediately start the subspace jump. In the next node of this miracle road, this signal ship will respond to this request. After receiving the message, it starts jumping again, just like a relay. This kind of jumping will continue until it finally reaches the final battle, the God Qi Star, and is received by the Rope Seven.
And if Sheng Qi responded, then what he wanted to express would also have to jump from one stop to another before finally arriving in front of Qi.
This is a process that not only looks cumbersome, but is actually extremely cumbersome to operate. But in fact, this communication did not consume much time in the end.
Qi, the imperial emperor, and Sheng Qi, the rat-man high priest, reached a consensus within two hours.
The last word that came to Kai's sight was GOOD.
Soon, there will be a reason for this civil war, whether Sheng Qi succeeds or fails.
………….
Sheng Qi and Qi reached a consensus about the war, the future of the rat people, and the future of the rat sect.
Sheng Qi is not stupid. He certainly understands what is going to happen, and his decision is very important for everything that follows.
From the current point of view, no one who is destined to win is born. In fact, regarding this war, it seems that the Rat Empire and the Rat Sect are incompatible conflicts, but in fact it is not.
The Skaven Sect, the Skaven Priests, to a large extent, they are integrated with the current Skaven Empire.
This war is not about the Skaven Empire versus the Skaven Priests on the surface, but between Kai and his first supporters, the Skaven bureaucracy and strength who are willing to be loyal to him, and a part of the Skaven Empire against the Temple Priests and those who are biased. A war between the Skaven Priests, the Skaven bureaucracy, the forces of the Skaven Cult, and another part of the Skaven Empire.
This is a civil war between the Skaven Empires.
And in this situation, the weight of Shengqi becomes particularly heavy.
Sheng Qi is not only a high priest of the rat people, he can also directly influence the decisions and positions of the young rat priests who have not reached high positions.
And what he wanted was right here.
Qi invited him to join this war and join the war to destroy the rat sect. He readily agreed. He would stand beside the rat emperor and together with the rat army in his hands, he would destroy the current rat sect. The Ratman Sect, along with the numerous young Ratman priests who were willing to follow him.
If victory is achieved, if the Rat Man Empire wins this war, and Kai, his army and the countless young Rat Man priests welcome the victory together, will the Rat Man Sect perish in the end?
Since he wouldn't, then Sheng Qi would naturally agree happily and move his position to Qi's side.
He didn't even ask about the bargaining chip that Qi was able to offer him. All of this was made clear, and he was a stupid guy.
The new Skaven Cult, it will rise again from the ruins and corpses, this is what he wants, this is what he wants!
Standing on the chaotic ruins, Sheng Qi's eyes were particularly deep.
He has noticed the curse left by the long claws, and he will cut off this damn curse. He will destroy the hatched church, and for this, he will do whatever it takes.
Of course, all this is not for the rat people, nor for the rat empire, nor for that arrogant guy Qi, but for the great god, and for himself.
Scraping away the rotten flesh and blood, leaving behind the devout rat men, great god, will you come back, great god! Will you come back?
Sheng Qi, who was already walking slowly, withdrew his gaze from the ruins in front of him and began to murmur in a low voice, over and over again, his steps were inexplicably bleak, but it made Hei Shui, who was following him, shudder inexplicably.
For some reason, he felt that his boss was getting crazier and crazier.
These days, he could no longer understand what his boss was doing or thinking.
He looked up and muttered.
"Great God?"
But what appeared in his eyes was more confusion and an inexplicably complex and tangled emotion.
Of course he knew what a god was, he was also a guy who had come all the way from the old times, he certainly knew what a god was, he was also a believer in a god.
He once worshipped the great god devoutly!
But the great god had been gone for too long, so long that the piety he once had was already a little blurred.
He muttered something in his mouth until Hei Shui saw the gradually receding figure of Sheng Qi, and hurriedly took a step forward.
Heishui had no way to understand Shengqi's complex feelings, perhaps because he was born many generations later than Shengqi.
When Heishui was born, the Rat Empire was already in its heyday on the Shenqi Star. At that time, the great gods were already high above, but Shengqi was different. He was different. He was born with the glory of the great gods. He was born with the glory of the great gods. From the weak to the strong, the rats were always watched by the great gods.
They were different. Even if Shengqi grasped the great growth of the gods' era, he witnessed it all.
How could Shengqi, who witnessed all this, forget it? How could he dare to forget it?
"Great God, will you come back!"
In the whisper, Shengqi was particularly bleak at this time.
………….
In the ruins of the New Holy City, the aftermath of the terrorist attack has not completely stopped.
Ruins, flames, corpses, chaos, and the wailing that has not stopped.
There are still a large number of ratmen who have not left the ruins. In fact, many guys can't leave the ruins. Everything they have, most of the things they have accumulated, their past, their future, their glory, their name, all of this, all depends on this once great city, on this once so miraculous city.
But now, everything is destroyed. In that horrible day, in that instant, everything is destroyed. This city, as well as their past, future, glory, name, all collapsed with the city.
What's even more sad is that they can't do anything about it, and no one intends to save them. In such despair, they can only keep wandering in the ruins of this city.
Of course, it's not like that at all. A thin boy seems quite content and happy in such a gloomy atmosphere.
This is a ratman boy who rushed up from the surface of the barren mountains. He is particularly curious about everything in the ruins, even if all he sees are ruins.
He felt that this place was simply heaven. Look, the ratmen living in the sky, their garbage dumps were so bright and beautiful.
This is really a kind of feeling that makes people wonder how to express their feelings. It is very wonderful.
However, it is not surprising that this rat boy made such a feeling. After all, he was born rolling in the garbage dump. If this accident and attack had not happened, he would probably be born in the garbage dump, die in the garbage dump, and rot in the garbage dump all his life.
The last compliment he could make was probably that your garbage dump is really beautiful.
These days, the rat boy wandered in the ruins. When he was hungry, he would search for the large ruins that were visible to the eye. When he was thirsty, he would search for the large ruins that occupied all the sight in front of him.
Of course, sometimes, he would be driven away by the rat survivors who were not in a good mood, but he himself did not take it seriously.
After all, it was like this in the large garbage dump below. The big rats would occupy a larger garbage dump and prevent them, the rat boys, from searching.
He didn't take it seriously. After all, it was like this in the large garbage dump below. But he would not pay attention to the warnings of these big rats. After all, if he didn't turn over those large garbage dumps, he wouldn't find enough food. If he couldn't find enough food, he would starve to death. If he listened to those big rats, he would starve to death, so he didn't listen to them.
As long as he ran faster after being discovered, it would be fine.
And these rats living in the sky, they really had no vigilance, just like now, he was walking and suddenly met an old guy, lowered his head, and ran away quickly, ran a little further, he opened his palm, and there was a golden pendant in his hand, a golden big clock pendant.
Gently shake the pendant in his hand, and you can still hear the crisp sound.
He likes this small wall clock very much.
He knows these golden things, which are very valuable things, and can be exchanged for a lot of canned food with the old broken tail. They are almost looking for such things when they search in the garbage dump. Often they can find one and they don't worry about being hungry for many days.
Pulling, the rat boy pulled out a worn-out small waist bag from behind his waist. When he opened the small waist bag, there were many golden small things on display. The rat boy wanted to put the small wall clock in his hand into the waist bag, but he seemed a little reluctant. It can be seen that he really likes this small wall clock.
After hesitating for a long time, he carefully hung the small wall clock on the belt of the worn-out waist bag. He found a lot of valuable things in the past few days and didn't have to go hungry for a long time. This small wall clock didn't have to be cut off by the old man. It was time to go home.
He left happily, jumping and skipping. With his steps, the small wall clock on his waist was shaking and making crisp sounds.
Of course, this happy little guy didn't know who he had just met, nor did he know what changes this would bring to her future.
Walking in the ruins, Sheng Qi paused. He was glad that many eyes in the ruins fell on him. Not all of them were kind, and it was not surprising. There had to be someone to bear the anger of these guys who had nothing. The crazy guy who was kicked out of the temple priests and caused all this would not take the blame, because he was already dead. The dead rat people could not take the blame. The temple priests who stationed warships at the Shenqi Star Port as if they were saviors would not take the blame, because they were not the rat priest.
Then, in the end, who was left to bear the resentment of these guys? Undoubtedly, only Sheng Qi was left. Only Sheng Qi, the rat priest, was able and qualified to bear all this.
Sheng Qi's prestige on other planets of the Rat Empire might not have suffered much loss, but Sheng Qi's prestige on Shenqi Star was undoubtedly severely damaged.
These guys wandering in the ruins cast all kinds of dark eyes on Sheng Qi, the ratman high priest, but it was particularly awkward. The angry, resentful, and chilling peeping was mixed with fear, awe, and terror.
They hated Sheng Qi, but they didn't dare to resent him directly, which was particularly awkward.
For such a look, Sheng Qi calmly accepted it. If it weren't for the upcoming war, he would definitely invest all his strength to save it all, not because of anything else, just because the ratmen in this city, this new holy city, most of them are believers of the great gods.
But the war is coming, and there will always be ratmen who will become victims. No real ratman big shot is a kind guy.
