Chapter 444, The Brave and Expensive Fool and the Totalitarian of the Rat Empire

The mighty armored forces collided in the yellow sand. In order to adapt to the yellow sand, the tanks of both the rats and the gerbils were specially improved. The extremely wide tracks and the main body like a ship were all designed to be able to rush in the yellow sand.

Before they got close, the two sides started the first round of confrontation. Amid the roar, shells were pushed out of the barrels.

The rats' tanks were far stronger than those of the gerbils. Advance and backwardness were relative issues. Even though the rats were still using steam engines, this was the case.

The rats' materials science went deeper than that of the gerbils, as well as structural science. At the same thickness, the rats' armor cast by molds was stronger than that of the gerbils. Of course, the generation gap between materials science and structural science was not only reflected in the armor, but also the armor-piercing shells were better than those of the gerbils.

The tanks of the gerbils often explode violently if they cannot take a single shell from the rat tanks, while the tanks of the rats can take several armor-piercing shells from the front before they are completely paralyzed.

The magic power and steam hybrid engine did not give the rat tanks the speed and flexibility beyond electricity, but materials science and structural science have indeed become the solid spear and shield in the hands of the rats.

For such a situation, this huge armored formation from the war fortress did not flinch at all.

Moving forward, one nuclear tank after another was destroyed on this sand dune. Without the intervention of air power, their charge was particularly brutal. Of course, the running legion was not afraid.

It was just a collision between the left and right.

Shouting, shouting wildly on the radio, while constantly firing, these guys began to get excited. The berserk ability of the rats did not seem to be inherited by the gerbils. I don’t know if Xiaochun thinks that such violent performance is a genetic defect.

But it is undeniable that such active berserk can make the rat soldiers more courageous.

The armored behemoths of both sides collided with each other face to face, and fired at each other almost closely.

This is an extremely wasteful tactic.

The regular tactic of tanks is not used in this way, but now, no one cares so much. The sharp roar with red eyes and then running recklessly has always been the old tradition of the rats.

What is crazy is that these nuclear tanks of the sand rats are equipped with electromagnetic rams.

Well, this is even more crazy than the rats. The electromagnetic rams that burst out with faint blue light have an effect similar to that of a chainsaw. The moment the tanks of both sides collided with each other, the harsh friction sound was heard at the contact point of the collision.

This is too crazy.

The rat driver was enraged. In the sharp roar, the high-explosive bomb was stuffed into the gun barrel, and it was detonated regardless of the close body. In the terrifying shock and flames, the sighting equipment and external devices on the surface of the two tanks close to each other were almost completely destroyed.

The electromagnetic ram was also damaged. Amid the harsh roar of the engine, these nuclear tanks were pushed back step by step.

The battle was chaotic and terrible, so chaotic that the military instructors on the First Expeditionary Fleet would be furious when they saw this scene.

The best situation now should be to retreat, wait for the electromagnetic shock in the sky to dissipate, and wait for the subsequent rat warships to break into this area, rather than just grinding meat stupidly.

Casualties began to soar. These guys are far from being a group of qualified warriors. These rat warriors who grew up with the expedition fleet during interstellar voyages.

Flag couldn't stand it anymore.

A beam of blue light broke in from outer space and fell towards Huangsha Star again. The electromagnetic interference created by the nuclear bomb was so fragile and pitiful in such a terrifying energy torrent that it was instantly defeated and annihilated.

The Destroyer fired.

In an instant, the shocking blue light seemed to seize all the light in the world, and the enemy's huge army was swallowed up in an instant.

The violent shock wave set off a huge storm, almost burying everything on the battlefield.

In this war, the rats still won. The first expeditionary fleet of the rats floating in outer space and watching everything on this planet was the insurmountable mountain and the deepest despair for all the gerbils on this planet.

It was just the gerbils, and the war fortress also got what they wanted. In this wave of impact, the mad galloping army paralyzed most of the armored forces in a very short time, and the casualties of the 120,000 rat army exceeded one-fifth.

Of course, they were very brave, and the gerbils did not get any benefits. It often took three nuclear tanks to replace a rat steam tank.

The casualties of the gerbils were ten times more than those of the rats, and even the casualties ratio exceeded 200,000.

Counting the gerbils who were annihilated by the Destroyer, the gerbils' casualties are probably more than 500,000, and this does not include the follow-up, the war is not over yet.

But this exchange itself is a loss.

The skaven warships with blue tail flames passed through the sky, and a series of explosions appeared in the desert in the distance. This huge armored group pulled out by the war fortress and the terrifying infantry, they are afraid that they can't escape even one tenth.

But this is still a loss.

The surviving ratmen warriors had already opened the hatch of the tank and started cheering. At this time, the radiation on the field was still extremely high, but it was nothing for the ratmen. For these guys, as long as they were not facing the center of the nuclear explosion, the subsequent pollution would at most give them an extra hand on their buttocks and an eye on their backs. This was nothing. They just needed to lie down and do a surgical operation.

They were fleet ratmen, and their treatment was ridiculously high. They were one of the few troops in the long history of the ratmen who were not pushed to the battlefield against their will, and they were also the real young master soldiers.

The surviving guys started cheering on this chaotic battlefield. During the expedition fleet, on the console, Qi's expression was a bit twisted and unbearable.

Reports floated to his hands like snowflakes, all of which were red data, and the affairs officers were weakly reminding him.

If the destroyer was overly abused, the plate structure on this planet might undergo unimaginable changes.

In short, it was no longer possible to fire casually.

If the standard is relaxed, the Destroyer can actually be considered a planet-destroying weapon, but it is not like the Soul Scream and the Dragon of Life, which can destroy the surface ecology of a planet very simply and directly.

Instead, it will slowly collapse everything under the bombardment of one shot after another.

Of course, in fact, the load that this planet can bear is actually very high, but this planet is a reserved land prepared by the rats for themselves, and they have regarded this planet as their own backyard.

Would you be willing to burn your house to scald a group of ants to death?

Now, this dilemma is placed in front of Qi, all because of those guys. Qi looked at the cheering guys on the projection in front of him.

He had to admit that this was the most peculiar and most difficult to evaluate army he had ever led.

If they were not saved, they would probably be eaten up in this raid by the gerbils, and if they were saved, these red data and the rat affairs officers who wanted to speak but were carefully considering were really unpleasant.

A group of fools who are courageous and not cowardly, a group of fools who are courageous and not cowardly but extremely expensive.

"Ah!"

Qi, an old guy who has lived for many years, sighed deeply at this time.

Shushu sighed.

The rat people had to slow down their pace of advancement.

The process of recruiting those wastelanders had to be accelerated. At the beginning, the rat people only planned to use these wastelanders as some militia teams to maintain public order, that is, a group of kowtow bugs who would kneel down obediently when they saw the rat people.

The price to pay was just some food.

But now, the situation has changed a little, the encounter of the mad army, the gap in manpower, and the lack of a large number of infantry.

It is impossible to really let these expensive battleship rats fill the battlefield like dust, and even if they are filled into the battlefield like dust, how long can they be burned?

The air force cannot solve all the problems. Qi can easily destroy all the gerbils and even the surface ecology of this planet, but as long as he wants to occupy this planet, the ground forces, those huge and cheap infantry, will never be lacking.

Qi is going to reorganize a gerbil infantry corps to deal with other stubborn gerbil forces that have inherited the legacy of the golden age.

Of course, it's not just this. At the same time, he is going to try to create some more controllable aliens.

He won't trust these natives. Compared to them, perhaps some more alien natives will be more useful.

For example, the half-bloods with rat blood.

Qi is not a pure faction. He will not be as extreme as those heresy courts. Of course, to some extent, he is even worse than the heresy court.

This decision will bring a lot of trouble and pain to these half-bloods, but Qi doesn't care. Qi just wants to create a batch of the most suitable tools in the shortest time.

As for the troubles of these half-bloods, their pain?

Don't forget that Qi is a veteran rat warlord. The rat warlords don't even take the rats seriously. Although Qi is far less extreme than his former colleagues, do you think he will take these hybrids who only have a little bit of rat blood seriously?

In his view, whether it is the gerbils or the hybrids that are about to be born, they are just heretics, natives, and tools. They are all tools that can be discarded or even destroyed after use.

Thank Xiaochun for not spreading his power from Shenqi Star, otherwise these guys will now have an extra label here with Qi, sacrifice.

Qi doesn't care about them at all, their ideas, their future, pain, their possible entanglements, and struggles, even though the source of all this originated from him.

But will arming these gerbil wastelanders cause problems? Will these guys have a tendency to rebel?

Qi is not worried about this problem, because until now, the rat people have not officially started any construction on the Yellow Sand Star, and all production capacity and industry are still limited to the flagship of the First Expeditionary Fleet.

Subsequently, these gerbil legions were incorporated and used the Skaven to provide weapons and equipment supplies. Not only would their commanders and important positions be Skaven, but their resources would also be drawn from the flagship.

In such a situation, what can they use to rebel? As long as they control the supply of ammunition and resources, once they rebel and resources are not replenished, they may not be able to sustain themselves for even half a month.

After Ban made his decision, a large number of ratmen affairs officers began to move.

This series of decisions will be implemented by them. The resources that need to be mobilized, the manpower recruited, the weapons distributed, whether to conduct training, the resources allowed to be used, and the personnel who are about to be arranged will all be discussed among these many affairs officers. The decision-making and thinking are finalized. Soon after, a plan will be sent to Qi. As long as Qi nods, everything will start to work.

As the times progress, the social logic of the Rat People and the operational logic of various departments have become more and more complex, which is not a bad thing.

These rat-man affairs officers were born out of such changes. Obviously, no matter what you are doing, having an extra group of guys who are dedicated to using their brains can save a lot of trouble.

Of course, this is not without its shortcomings. With the participation of these Skaven Affairs Officers, it is difficult for a large number of strong centralized figures to be born. Now, in the Skaven Empire, there are almost very few people who cannot be replaced. .

Of course, this is not to say that these rat-man affairs officer systems have prevented the birth of powerful figures in the rat-man empire who are greedy and want to capture more. On the contrary, they have also accelerated such a process. Now, there is no iron fist in the rat-man empire. The real reason why the character was born was because a more terrifying beast was born.

A true totalitarian who is about to control everything is already sitting on that high throne.

These, all the ratmen affairs officers, those bureaucrats, the busy ratmen, they are all moving forward for one will. They are just cogs riveted to each other in a huge master machine.

Kai is indeed a genius.

Even though it took him a long time to do all this.
