Chapter 436, Crazy Rat Purists and Space Airborne Forces

A huge cube warship hovered over the vast yellow sand planet.

This is the Comet Class 201 transport ship.

The comet represents the tonnage of this ship, 201 represents the time when it was finalized, the year 201 in the Ratman Empire calendar, and the transport ship represents its specific model and purpose.

In fact, this type of transport ship is more suitable to be called a landing ship than a transport ship. Its biggest feature is the three pairs of rotatable engines evenly distributed on both sides of the warship.

This special design brings huge constant thrust to this model. It is the only model of the Ratman that can stably hover outside the planet's atmosphere and can exist as an airborne carrier.

The huge ship body space is enough to accommodate a full 40 magic tanks and a 10,000-person airborne chamber, which is enough to carry a complete airborne regiment deployment.

The airborne regiment is a special military organization, an extremely luxurious military organization.

To a certain extent, these Ratman troops following the expeditionary fleet are completely different from those Imperial Army troops who were simply trained for a few days and then thrown into the battlefield at will.

The complex fully enclosed steam psychic dual-powered armor requires a high platform to be successfully worn. It has its own life support system, equipped with a small magic cannon, anti-psychic structure outer armor, one-piece composite outer armor, steam shotgun, and flamethrower.

Such a set of power armor can be worth the total price of weapons in the hands of a 10,000-man Imperial Army.

At this time, a full 1,000 sets of power armor are being assembled on this Comet-class transport ship.

Perhaps this is how you can understand why fleet commanders are often willing to wait for the Imperial Army to be deployed later, even if they waste time and delay the rhythm of the war, and watch those cheap cannon fodder being constantly filled.

This expensive weapon has reached a level that is enough to make people heartbroken even if they lose one set.

And what makes people more cautious is that this complex power armor is a black box that cannot be repaired for the First Expeditionary Fleet.

Even though there are many rat engineers on the First Expeditionary Fleet, in the absence of effective equipment and key drawings, such power armor is something they cannot start with.

Breaking one is losing one.

There are only a thousand sets of such armor in the entire First Expeditionary Fleet, and now, almost all of them have been deployed here.

Qi chose a core oasis on this desert planet, but unfortunately, this huge oasis has an owner, and there is a city of a million-level indigenous people on it.

It is not an easy task to eat it, but if it can be eaten, it can lay the foundation for the future direction of this colonial war.

This is not the first time that Qi has participated in a colonial war. If you want to completely kill these insects that have been operating on the planet for a long time, the first thing to do is to destroy their largest insect nest.

Caught off guard, wipe out a large number of indigenous people and the most living forces, which can greatly reduce their war potential and also make them fear and uneasy to the greatest extent.

But this requires some risks.

Elite troops always have to be used. At the most critical moment, in this situation, Qi pulled out these power armors without hesitation.

They will land on the selected core oasis as the first landing army.

This was also the first step for him to completely grasp the Yellow Sand Star. Qi named this planet Yellow Sand Star. Of course, the natives on that planet, those aborigines, they must have something to say.

In fact, this planet had a name many years ago, Enola, which means beautiful gem, which is much better than Qi's simple and crude Yellow Sand Star, but so what.

Qi did not intend to respect the culture of the natives of these planets. If they could repel themselves and make him return home in disgrace, then they would be qualified to keep the beautiful name of Enola.

Otherwise, this planet can only be named Yellow Sand Star, which was a simple name given by Qi in less than a minute.

In the Comet-class transport ship, a team of strong, silent, and elite ratmen were ready. They were the members of the airborne regiment who would wear these power armors and fall to the planet below.

These are some specially modified ratmen. These power armors will bring great pressure to the wearers. In order to better provide them with suitable wearers, the introduction of transformation surgery has become a very normal thing.

The Ratman Empire also has some distortion technology, which is a very normal thing. After all, Qi was born as a temple guard, and he also received the legacy of the long claws.

In fact, the two camps of the civil war, those temple priests, and the Ratman Empire, Qi, the two sides have very deep entanglements. At one time, it was a state of you in me and me in you. If it were not so, I am afraid Qi would not accept to support a group of new ratmen after destroying the temple priests.

This is a helpless compromise.

After all, to a certain extent, the current Ratman Empire is also the successor of the Ratman Church in the chaotic era. They not only have flesh and blood distortion technology, but Qi also accepted a group of temple guards from the Heretic Judgment Office.

It's just that these guys are not active on the surface of the Rat Empire, but hidden in the dark. What they do is the same as before, with devout beliefs and crazy trials. To this extent, it is quite interesting that the Rat Empire may be the orthodox successor of the Rat Cult in the wild era, and even more orthodox than the group of temple priests who have abandoned their beliefs.

After all, there is still a force in the Rat Empire that is always persevering in judging heretics.

These guys have a strong influence, and they are also loyal to Qi, but what they do is not so bright. In the new era, they regard those who advocate the acceptance of other colonized races as heretics, and those rats who want to start large-scale genetic modification as heretics.

They are a group of thorough purists.

Rat bureaucrats and activists of the acceptance faction are often slaughtered by them, and those crazy rat science lunatics are often executed by them.

Of course, as the sharp blade in Qi's hand, they also suppressed the novel new ideas in the Skaven Empire and cleaned up the asses of those crazy Skaven engineers.

In their activities, these guys who were able to carry power armor after the transformation were also castrated of some functions, such as the fertility.

These guys cannot reproduce with ordinary Skavens. They do not have such ability. This is a kind of pre-castration to prevent these modified genes from flowing into the gene pool of Skavens.

It can be regarded as the price of bravery.

At this moment, these tall and brave Skavens climbed onto the platform one after another and stepped into the heavy power armor with the back opened in front of them. After they were in place, steam was swallowed, gears were turned, and the red electronic eyes on the helmets lit up, completing the wearing.

These huge war weapons began to move in a small range. The Skaven engineers on one side also gathered around at this moment to make detailed adjustments and assemble the reverse thrust engine. With the nods of these noisy guys, the war preparations were completed.

Begin to enter the airborne preparations.

The ejection port in the comet-class transport ship was fixed, and the hatch slowly opened with the flashing of scarlet lights.

Qi's cold voice rang in the ears of every airborne soldier wearing power armor on the field.

"Kill them!"

The war began.

Batch after batch of airborne soldiers were ejected from the comet-class transport ship that was calmly hovering in the outer space of the Yellow Sand Star like cannonballs, falling towards the huge yellow planet below.

The terrifying speed brought scorching temperature and flames that wrapped the whole body.

But these could not even make these armored soldiers have a little more perception.

The one-piece composite armor blocked the terrifying temperature, and the life support system in the bulky armor made them not afraid of the trouble of thin oxygen. They just hugged their arms quietly and waited for the moment of falling to the ground.

The core oasis designated by Qi as the target of attack, this area has one of the few cities on the Yellow Sand Planet Enola that have gotten rid of the barbarism of the wasteland era and restored some of the appearance of the golden age of the gerbil civilization.

Enkos, this word represents progress in the language of the gerbils.

This city is one of the few lighthouses on this wasteland planet.

The towering buildings, the neat city, the wide variety of goods, the unlimited supply of electricity, all of these are almost unimaginable for the guys who have been struggling in the wasteland for five hundred years, and they are also the place they yearn for.

It is a pity that after restoring their own prosperity, this progressive city has never thought about going further, and has never thought about saving the gerbils from the wasteland era.

Perhaps the golden age survivors who just walked out of the shelter thought about this and tried to save the world, but they failed, and failed completely.

Civilization and progress finally stopped in this city called Enkos, which is like a remnant of the old era in a miniature glass jar, telling the glory of the former gerbil civilization.

But today, the situation seems to be changing. The rude rats will not cherish this precious and strange afterimage jar. On the contrary, they see the threat brought by this city to them at the first time.

Good industrial capacity, to some extent, the technological level that is enough to enter outer space, and a large population, all of which are particularly dazzling, making it successfully board the first destruction sequence of the rats and become the first destruction target of the rats.

In fact, the people in power in this city, the most civilized and decent city councilors on this wasteland planet, almost discovered the arrival of the first expedition fleet of the rats at the first time.

They retained control of the satellite launch in the Golden Age.

The arrival of the rats made them very panic for a while. The radicals issued a warning of the coming war and proposed to reorganize the space force.

But unfortunately, it was rejected. Next, these guys proposed to restart the prism system.

This is a set of planetary defense measures built by the gerbils at the end of the Golden Age to resist the possible falling meteorites and possible alien enemies.

The main part of this system is now sealed underground in Enkos.

But it was still denied.

The reasons for the denial are well-founded. This year's fiscal budget has reached its bottom, and there is no way to squeeze out the money to rebuild the so-called space force. Even if the space force really needs to be rebuilt, it is too late now.

The reason for giving up the reconstruction of the prism system is that in the huge energy gap, they have already deployed the large fusion reactor that powers the prism system to power the city. If the prism system is to be restarted, it will at least cause a power outage in one-third of the city of Engels. None of them can bear such responsibility. The angry people will ask them to get out of here immediately.

This is not okay, and that is not okay. These hawkish congressmen were so angry that they cursed in this meeting. It was a mess, and it even evolved into a full-scale fight.

In the end, it was the city leader who spoke up to suppress the mess.

The reconstruction of the space force and the restart of the prism were abandoned, but the nuclear satellite sealed in outer space was decided to be restarted.

At the same time, the city entered an emergency mobilization state, preparing for the follow-up actions to welcome these space visitors.

After all, no one can tell for sure what intentions these guys who suddenly arrived have, whether they are kind or malicious.

This city and these civilized people have not been completely swallowed up by peace, at least they have made preparations.

At this time, in outer space, not far from the hovering comet transport ship, an abandoned satellite was quietly suspended. At the same time, on the planet, the high-level gerbils in Enkos had entered the underground shelter and were nervously paying attention to the rats' every move.

But how to say it.

Not enough, far from enough.

The rats are more unethical than they thought.

Before the space airborne group officially landed, another thing arrived earlier.

In the starry sky, in the center of the huge fleet, the huge flagship began to adjust its posture, the engine began to heat up, and the gorgeous dark blue particles began to gather in front of the battleship. The frigates surrounding the flagship began to evade. Now is the most vulnerable moment for this huge battleship that is like a mobile city.

The moving frigate caused a huge loophole in the defense network built around it, and at the same time, it also meant that it had entered its most dangerous posture.

This was not a good sign, and such a sign only meant one thing.

That was the super magic cannon on the flagship, the Destroyer, which had entered the charging sequence.
