V2.Chapter 74

"Crab people? It seems that's all there is to it. It's really disappointing to be defeated by our imperial army in just three months."

Under the blue sky and broad daylight, on the deck of the airship, several Ratmen generals were standing at the bow of the ship, overlooking the ground and the defeat of the Crabman King City.

"Indeed, these guys marching in formation are inferior to those weak alien races in the east. They fight without any rules and rely entirely on their own brute force. Living too comfortably and always sinking in the glory of the past, this is for us It's also a kind of vigilance." A rat man sighed.

"General Taylor can rest assured. Your majesty's ambition is obvious to all. After we eliminate the crab people, we can get more magic crystal mines. As long as we vigorously develop the magic crystal technology, the so-called gods in the Central Continent will be wiped out by us sooner or later." !"

"This world will eventually be unified by the empire, and the sea and sky will be conquered by the empire sooner or later!"

A Ratman general said with a passionate expression, and all the Ratman around nodded in agreement.

"Gods? It's just a group of powerful giant beast creatures. The garbage that belongs to history will be swept into the garbage dump sooner or later. When the empire's god-killing burner is successfully developed, they will fall!"

"God-killing sunburn?" Most of the Ratman generals were silent when they heard this word.

Yes, the generals of the Ratmen have a deep taboo on the God-killing Sunburn, and the reason is that this so-called God-killing Sunburn once lost control during the development.

The entire research center, and even the entire city, evaporated in the outbreak of God Killing Burn.

The god-killing sunburn is the highest level of lethal weapon developed by the Ratmen today, and it is made of magic crystals and the so-called "false god" god fire.

It is not easy to manufacture, and stability is also the biggest problem.

It stands to reason that such an unstable and extremely destructive weapon, the Ratman civilians should stop the development as soon as they know about it.

But living in the barren continent, facing a world with gods, the Ratman civilians not only did not stop the research and development, but also excitedly encouraged the empire to develop it as soon as possible.

Perhaps it is because of this kind of centripetal force and ambition that the Ratmen were able to rise up in the entire barren continent in just ten thousand years!

Rat people are very weak, and their average lifespan is even less than fifty years.

In the endless years, in the perpetually frozen northern continent, they suffered a lot, and it was these sufferings that made them what they are today.

Although the lifespan of the Ratman is short, the fertility rate is extremely high. A Ratman can even reproduce more than ten babies in just two or three years.

The Skaven Empire has been fighting against alien races since its founding, and the number of deaths of their races every year is extremely exaggerated.

But in the face of death, the Ratmen are never afraid, and the continuation of the population will take a big step forward in the social development of each hundred-year-old Ratmen.

Until now, the population of the Ratman Empire has exceeded one billion, with tens of millions of regular troops.

After occupying the Eastern Continent, the Ratman Empire ushered in a period of great development. After just thirty years, they regained their vitality and their technology rose to a great level.

Facing the crab people, the rat people are afraid.

Just because nearly five hundred years ago, the Ratman suffered a small loss in the battle with the Crabman.

It is precisely because of this that when the Ratman Empire first attacked the Crabman Kingdom, it only sent an army of one million people to conduct a tentative attack on the Crabmen on the border.

This time the Ratman actually didn't think about launching a war of annihilation against the Crabman at once.

Because they are also afraid of the so-called ancient giant beasts that existed in the Crabman Kingdom in the historical records, and even the most ancient gods that may exist.

However, at the beginning of the battle, the Ratman's attack was really smooth.

It went so well that the Ratman once thought that the Crabman was luring the enemy to go deep.

But when the Ratmen took less than half a month to occupy the three giant cities on the border of the Crabmen, the Ratmen completely understood.

The crab people are no longer the crab people before.

According to the historical records of the Ratman Empire, the Crabmen are powerful, their bodies are like fine steel, and their ability to control fire and the earth is even more terrifying.

But now, although the crabmen seen by the Ratmen are powerful physically, their ability to control the flames and the earth is not as terrifying as recorded. Even in battle, these crabmen are quickly collapsed at the touch of a finger.

'ah? Is this the Crabman? So vulnerable? '

'Are they weaker? maybe? But in the end, our Skaven Empire has become stronger. '

This is the cognition of the rat people.

And it was with this understanding that the Ratman Empire launched an all-out attack on the Crabmen.

The Ratman Empire mobilized nearly ten million Ratman soldiers across the country. As soon as the entire empire's war machine was activated, the Ratmen completely attacked the king city of the Crabman Kingdom in just three months.

In this process, there are also crab people with strong mentality who want to counterattack.

They led giant lizard-like mounts to fight back against the Ratmen many times, and even attacked the Crabmen's supply team from the bottom of the waterway, but in the end, these crabmen were completely defeated by the Ratmen because their bodies were not strong enough. magic crystal technology.

Seeing the moment when the Crabman Kingdom was about to be destroyed, some of the Ratman generals on the airship were excited, while others remained calm.

"Are these crab people really wiped out by the empire so easily?"

Most of the Ratman generals suddenly had such thoughts in their hearts for some reason.

There is no other reason, because in the historical records of the Ratman Empire, the crab people still have the so-called mysterious holy city, and the so-called ancient giant beasts similar to false gods.

But so far in the battle, the Ratmen's troops have never encountered strong resistance, not even the ancient giant beasts in the records.

This is so wrong.

Even, in the past hundred years, the rat people have always maintained a flattering and low profile in their diplomacy with the crab people, and they have also actively inquired about everything in the crab people's kingdom.

During this process, the arrogant crabman naturally revealed a lot of the situation of the crabman kingdom intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, there is a holy city leading to the underground in the Crabman Kingdom.

In the holy city, there are holy city crabmen who guard the gods, and ancient elders who protect the gods. All of these are so real and seem illusory.

The current Skaven Empire has some doubts about the intelligence and even records from the Crabman Kingdom.

The Skaven think that the giant beasts in the historical records may be the ordinary giant beasts that the Crab people are raising today, and even think that the Crab people are bragging about their own history.

Even if the Crabman Kingdom used to have giant beasts, hundreds of years have passed. Will the giant beasts that lived for an unknown time before have died?

The so-called oldest god's battle in the Central Continent is more likely to be the Crabman's self-promotion and self-puffing, so as to intimidate other races.

Ratmen have seen the terror of the Central Continent and the exaggerated abilities of the gods. Why do the crabmen think that their "gods" can defeat many with one enemy?

Besides, the crab people themselves say that it is the so-called second era, which happened hundreds of thousands of years ago, which is similar to legends and myths.

Moreover, now that the king city of the crab-man empire has begun to fall, why haven't the crab-men and the ancient elders of the holy city they talked about appeared yet?

With this, the Skaven army has begun to think arrogantly that the Krabmen are just bragging.

However, believe it or not, the Ratman general who was supervising the battle still carefully ordered the Ratman troops to slowly advance towards the entrance of the so-called underground holy city of the Crab King City.

The entrance to the underground holy city of the Crabman Kingdom is easy to find.

Because among the crab people who surrendered, the entrance to the underground holy city of the crab people is located at a high mountain near the northernmost tip of the king's city.

There, even a huge stone statue of a sea crab was erected.

The entire sea crab statue is nearly 500 meters high, and it is outlined along the rock wall, which still looks very spectacular.

The entrance to the underground holy city is closed all year round, and will only be opened on the Miracle Day once every ten years.

The Miracle Day is not only a day to pray for God, but also a day when the kingdom provides countless flesh and blood food to the people of the holy city.

The ordinary crab people in the kingdom know very little about the holy city, and even many ordinary crab people have regarded the holy city and gods as an ancient traditional symbol and spiritual belief.

Therefore, after receiving a lot of information, the Ratman army has already started heading towards the entrance of the underground holy city during the fight.

The entrance to the Crabman Underground Holy City.

Here at the moment, the last crabman civilians are gathering here in large numbers.

They were praying facing the huge god statue on the cliff, and at the same time they kept crying.

These shouts are nothing more than praying for the gods to recover and save them, and even want to let the warriors of the holy city crabman come to the ground through shouting.

However, no matter how these crab people shouted, the several huge stone portals of this huge mountain range remained motionless.

Many of the Crabman King and the Crabman Elders felt ashamed of the sages and had no face to face the crabmen of the holy city who had been quarreling for centuries. They had to flee to the seabed farm in shame.

However, some crab-man elders and some soldiers guarding the royal city had no such scruples at all, and they led the crab-men, women and children here in panic.

Most of these crab people no longer know the specific situation of the holy city crab people.

Because nearly a thousand years since the crab people in the holy city and the crab people in the king city fell out, the holy city of the crab people has rarely been opened to the crab people in the kingdom.

However, even if you don't know the situation in the holy city, you can know from the crabman king and the large amount of blood food sent in by many high-level crabmen every ten years that the number of crabmen in the holy city must be very large.

Moreover, the crabmen of the holy city follow the ancient tradition, and their combat power is definitely not comparable to that of the crabmen of the kingdom.

In this way, the crab people in the kingdom can only hope that the crab people in the holy city will not abandon their so-called Doro crab people.

It has been nearly ten days since the crabman in the kingdom sent a letter asking for help from the crabman in the holy city, but no one appeared until the king city was about to fall to the holy city.

This is undoubtedly a very frightening thing for the crab people in the kingdom.

The Ratman army has arrived, and the battle between the Crabmen and the Ratmen begins again in the huge Miracle Square.

Accompanied by the explosions, roars and screams of the battle, the leveled Miracle Square of more than 500,000 square meters was stained red with flesh and blood.

The crab people formed a circle on the Miracle Square. They were full of flames and fought with the frosty Ratman Mecha. Children, women and children were protected on the innermost side of the square near the giant mountain range.

The young crab people shivered, and the crab people women and children huddled together in fright.

"Teacher, will the gods save us? I'm so scared! Woooooo~"

Many young crab people gathered beside the old crab man, they looked at the old man helplessly, most of them burst into tears.

Looking at his students, the crabman old man closed his eyes slightly, feeling even more desolate.

'If I knew today, why did I do it at the beginning? '

Listening to the wailing Crabman civilians, the old Crabman had mixed feelings in his heart.

The old crabman is very clear about the contradiction between the crabmen of the holy city and the crabmen of the kingdom, and it is precisely because of this that the old man does not know whether the crabmen of the holy city will save their fellows.

Therefore, when the old crabman finally opened his eyes, he could only speak comfortingly:

"The gods are with us, and death is just another beginning. Children, don't be afraid, and don't forget the glory of the ancient times. Hold your chest up and look straight at all of this!"

""

How could it be possible for the young crabman to muster up courage because of the words of the old man.

In short, in the face of the Ratman's final siege, the casualties of the Crabmen in the Miracle Square are constantly increasing.

"Crab people, give up resistance! You can't be the opponent of our great warriors of the Mus Empire!"

"As long as you give up resistance, the empire will pardon your capital crimes!"

"Surrender! The demise of your Crabman Kingdom is doomed! Stop doing unnecessary resistance!"

""

During the battle, the Ratman generals on the ground had already started shouting to surrender.

And it was precisely in this kind of surrender that the first one appeared to surrender, and then the crab people began to give up resistance in droves.

The sound of crying and tragic shouts began to pass among the crab people.

Soon, all the crab people in the Miracle Square became prisoners!

Seeing these crabmen sitting on the ground weeping and trembling in panic, some ratmen warriors had already started to shout excitedly.

"Long live the empire!!!"

"Long live the empire!!!"

""

The Ratmen all smiled happily, the Crabman Kingdom was completely over, and the Western Continent would also completely fall into the empire's territory.

During this period, some ratmen had already started to walk towards the huge stone gates at the three entrances of the underground holy city.

The length and width of these stone gates are all more than 300 meters. The stone gates are covered with patterns of magic crystals and runes, which seem to be the setting of a mechanism gate.

In this regard, most of these rat people showed a little hesitation.

However, just as he was pondering, when many Ratmen began to enjoy the joy of winning the battle, the originally silent Shimen suddenly rang without warning.

"Crack!!!"

"Ka Ka Ka!!!"

Three huge stone gates began to rise at the same time.

All the Ratmen and even the Crabmen in the Miracle Square were stunned for a moment.

However, at this moment, endless flames suddenly gushed out from the open gaps of the three stone gates.

The temperature of the flame was so high and so strong that it melted the three stone gates in an instant, accompanied by huge tongues of flame.

Before all the Ratmen and Crabmen came back to their senses, in the burst of flames, countless Crabmen with a height of fifteen meters or even over twenty meters were charged with icy faces full of magma-like flames. out!

"Alien! Die!"

"die!!!"
