From Skaven to God-King of War

This was a very exciting collapse. As time went by, these holy war armies, who had lost support and were having a harder and harder time, gradually found it increasingly difficult to stir up any waves. When the flag left the First Expeditionary Fleet of the Ratmen in a small boat and landed in the center of the Black Iron Heart, everything was settled at this moment.

This industrial planet will be pumped up soon. Compared with the smooth progress of the Black Iron Heart Flag, other directions are not so easy.

The commander of the Second Ratmen Fleet is a Ratman captain who was appointed when the Ratmen began to explore the starry sky.

It is not a Ratman warlord in the conventional sense, but a professional fleet commander who is loyal to the Emperor Qi of the Empire. Qi certainly will not bet all his treasures on these old warlords who have not yet completely bowed their heads.

Heimao is dead. He died in the first hundred years of the Ratman's space exploration. He died in obscurity in the command room, with a very fine magic pistol in his hand. There is nothing surprising about such a result. This is the choice of Heimao, a reckless guy. When facing those enemies who can be crushed, when showing that there are no new enemies that the rats have to go all out, at this time, there is no need for an overly sharp knife, and no need for a knife that may hurt oneself.

So, this guy died just like this, died in an empty command room, died without dignity, and even a little honor.

Now, the only remaining Ratman warlord in the Ratman Empire is Qi. In these long and terrifying years, for him, such a time span is indeed enough to be called such a sentence.

Qi is still persisting.

At the top of the towering steel city, in an exquisite and extravagant banquet, Qi received the flattering smiles of the ratmen one by one. These were the ratmen bigwigs on this black planet, the president of the Engineers Association, the manager of the super city, the Chamber of Commerce, the celebrities, the leaders of the big mercenaries, and yes, now perhaps we should call these big mercenaries another name, the military support company.

Qi was not so excited.

Across the chaotic banquet venue, influenced by the tone and salon culture of the ratmen bureaucrats, the ratmen generally looked more human. The non-stop music at the banquet, the various exquisite foods that were constantly replenished, and the ratmen who were either talking or praising each other.

Of course, Qi was a little indifferent to such a scene. After this series of scenes, he stood on the edge of the top platform. Many of the various things now were indeed far from what he remembered.

After taking a sip of the so-called fine wine in his hand, Qi's face showed a trace of dissatisfaction. Compared to this, he was more accustomed to the inferior mushroom wine popular in the lower city. That was closer to Qi's things in the past era than these so-called fine wines.

The ratmen of the old era and the things of the old era are almost the same.

………….

The target of the conquest of the second expedition fleet is an agricultural planet named Rye Star. This is a plain planet with no special features. The specialty is a black mushroom that can make ratmen feel excited after eating, a mushroom that grows on grass.

This is the base camp of the temple priests and the key parish of the ratman sect. Because of poverty, this is an agricultural planet for ratmen, but the ratmen on this planet can't even support themselves.

Rye mushrooms are a good thing, but even rat people cannot eat them as a staple food. They will be processed by rat merchants into a sticky chewing stimulant and used as a relatively cheap substitute. As for who it is, it can only be said that it has some effect of the blood-red mushrooms that are engraved in the deep memory of rat people and cannot erase the sentiment. Moreover, the output is large enough, even those rat mercenaries who do not have many blood coins can afford to consume these rye mushrooms.

Rye mushrooms are an additional crop with high economic value. It stands to reason that the rat people on the Rye Star where it is produced should not be poor, but this is the fact.

Rye mushrooms are indeed popular and have high value, but its value is basically eaten by the rat merchants who undertake the transportation link. What is left for the hard-working rat people on Rye Star is just a little bit that is barely enough to fill their stomachs. This makes rye mushrooms have another name among the rat people on Rye Star.

Black Devil

The breeze blew across the dark wheat field. Bunches of wheat stood tall in the flat field. The golden branches and ear leaves were supported by a pool of irregularly growing dark brown fleshy fruits.

Rye mushroom, rye mushroom, it is a kind of thing born from fungus infecting wheat.

Those rat merchants have actually monopolized the land on this planet. They rely on transferring benefits to those rat bureaucrats to do this. In other words, they don’t even need to monopolize the land. They just need to let those rat bureaucrats nod slightly. Then, after an order is issued to only allow the cultivation of rye mushrooms, everything will be completed naturally.

Rye mushrooms, known as the black devil, are certainly not that simple. In fact, if you plant several more rounds on the same piece of land, not too many rounds, at most three rounds, then the land will be completely eroded by rye fungi. Then, you can basically only plant wheat on this land, and let the wheat be eroded and grow rye mushrooms.

Strictly speaking, rye mushrooms cannot be eaten as the staple food of rat people.

This may be a conspiracy, or it may be a very successful bundling strategy.

In a very short time, twenty years, or even shorter, perhaps fifteen years, in such a short time, rye mushrooms were planted all over the rye star and basically eroded all the land. After that, this planet became the reserve of those rat merchants.

Nothing can be done anymore. The land has been polluted and can no longer produce food. We can only rely on the allocation of these rat businessmen. Those rat bureaucrats who have been pushed to high positions and are extremely flattering suddenly find that they are completely bound by these rat businessmen. The planet no longer has any autonomy. Of course, this is not the saddest thing. The saddest thing is that the rat businessmen attach great importance to profits.
