From Skaven to God-King of War

Twenty years, this not-so-short journey finally came to an end.

The First Expeditionary Fleet arrived at its destination.

This was an assist that allowed the numb guys on the fleet to get some exciting news. Of course, they would not launch an attack immediately, even though many ratmen were so impatient at this moment.

During this long period of time, the new generation of ratmen had grown up in the warships of the First Expeditionary Fleet. From their birth to their growth, to taking over the work of the first generation of explorers on those warships, their indoctrinated goals and what they were waiting for were only one, that is, this planet.

Fanatic war advocates, but this is not surprising.

In the film, in the story, they did not understand and had never come into contact with the world other than warships, so they would naturally be fanatical.

However, no matter how fanatical they were, the war did not start immediately. Yes, it was a war. The colonization of the ratmen could be clearly known even if they thought about it. They knew that this would not be a very gentle thing. They had never had the habit of negotiating with other races. Destroying everything, clearing everything, leaving only the ratmen, this was what they wanted.

To put these into practice, some preparation is needed.

During the 20-year voyage, since the First Expeditionary Fleet was the first expeditionary fleet sent by the Rat Empire, many problems occurred. Of course, these were recorded by the Rat Engineers on the warships. If the First Expeditionary Fleet could successfully return to the Rat Empire to end this expedition, these problems would not appear in the First and Second Colonial Expeditions.

But that is later. Now, these problems are imminent.

The industrial zone stopped operating, lacked raw materials, and the production strategy was too aggressive at the beginning. In the first one or two years, the industrial zone in the flagship converted 90% of the raw materials into various weapons. The imperfect flagship lacked recycling measures for these resources. This was originally a small problem until a month before arriving at the destination.

At that time, in order to deal with the impending war, the rat officers in the fleet issued an order for the industrial zone to enter the preheating state. However, as soon as the order was issued, the rat engineers tested the equipment in the industrial zone and the situation was already bad. Almost half of the industrial equipment could not be started normally due to long-term parking. Even those that could be started normally had various small problems.

And there was more than one such serious problem.

The damage to the outer armor of the flagship, the unreasonable personnel arrangement caused too many rat engineers to be awakened from the dormant state in advance, and a large number of small ships lacked maintenance. These messy problems almost made every rat officer feel the trembling of the brain.

If these big and small problems are not solved, then I am afraid that this colonization will not be particularly smooth.

Of course, these rat officers don’t need to worry too much about these. They just need to sort out the mess and report it.

The real captain of the First Expeditionary Fleet is about to wake up, and these are all things he has to worry about.

Outside the binary star system, in the center of the huge fleet, deep in the flagship.

Two guys who have already shown old postures stood quietly outside the room, waiting quietly. These two old guys are the deputy commanders of the flag and the deputy captains of this fleet.

At this moment, their expressions are not so calm. They have rotated with each other twice, each has gone through two terms, and each has been in charge of the First Expeditionary Fleet for ten years. They are the real big figures in this fleet, but now, they are all a little panic.

There are no other reasons, because both of them did not do well.

In the first five years of rebellion, a group of rat guys wanted to seize control of the flagship and return to the Rat Empire.

In the second five years of collision, in negligence, the Rat flagship collided with a frigate, and just like that, there was a damage on the right side of the flagship that has not been completely repaired yet.

In the third and fourth five years, there was no such serious incident, but the difficulties faced by the expedition fleet at this time were all caused by the fact that they were not resolved in the third and fourth five years and continued to accumulate until now.

It is not easy to become a proper captain, especially to become the captain of such a large fleet.

They are afraid of being punished by Qi, and even more afraid of being hung up high.

Even now, rats still love hanging. Of course, hanging is not the end. The habit of hanging corpses high up has been continued. Even though many rats have begun to call for the abolition of this punishment, it is useless. The feeling of hanging idiots and enemies and showing them is simply great.

So, in this situation, did these two deputies have some crooked ideas?

Maybe, but it is more of a possibility. If Qi did not appear today, then immediately, they would be executed on the spot and hung up high by the guys in the warship security department.

The army has always been something that every captain and commander needs to hold firmly, not to mention that the security department on the first expedition fleet was established by Qi's personal guard.

Qi did not distrust his deputies, he just didn't trust these guys at all.

In front of the hibernation room, the two high-ranking deputy captains waited in fear. Time passed slowly, and the door of the cabin finally opened, and the voice of the flag sounded.

"Come in."

The two deputies walked into the hibernation room in fear. If they were just in fear just now, now their bodies have begun to tremble unconsciously.

There is only one hibernation chamber in the hibernation room. Although it is not big, there is still a desk and three stools.

The two guys did not sit down for a long time, trembling, sweating, and soon wet their hair.

It must be said that these two guys are well maintained. The hair on their bodies is not straight and hard, but extremely soft and shiny.

Obviously, the difficulties encountered by the First Fleet did not involve them.

Qi, who had just walked out of the hibernation chamber, was not that healthy. He looked very thin, and even his ribs were clearly visible. At this time, he sat upright on the table with a bowl of slightly thin turbid liquid at his hand.

This was the energy block dissolved with water. If there was anyone among the rat people with the lowest quality of life, it must be Qi.

While sipping the bowl of turbid liquid, Qi flipped through the large stack of documents that had been placed on the table early. These documents generally summarized what had happened in the past 20 years. Of course, Qi had awakened ten years ago and stayed on the First Expeditionary Fleet for a while, but that time node was obviously not a good time for personal calculation.

These documents were exactly what made the two deputy captains sweat profusely, which showed that there was a third party watching them all the time, which meant that the words and rhetoric they prepared, and even the behavior of throwing the blame to the other side, were difficult to work.

Cold sweat.

Qi just flipped through the documents in front of him page by page. Beside him, the two guys kept shaking. Until finally, when a trace of numbness and calmness appeared on their faces, Qi stopped what he was doing.

He simply cast his eyes on the two guys in front of him and looked at them calmly.

With a plop, one guy knelt down on the ground first. Obviously, this guy was not as calm as he showed. Then, another guy knelt down on the ground with a plop.

In this way, the two guys with the most power in the fleet, except Qi, knelt down in front of Qi like slaves.

Qi was not prepared to deal with them. Over the long years, he gradually understood a truth, that is, in many cases, you have to tolerate the existence of idiots, because if you don't tolerate them, the next two idiots who appear in front of you may be two more stupid idiots.

At least these two guys drove the First Fleet to the destination, and they were still idiots with a little ability.

Soon, very smoothly, Qi once again took control of the entire First Fleet, and all kinds of problems were decided in his hands.

The fleet continued to move forward, sending out reconnaissance ships to collect information and find suitable space mining sites.

There is a specialized space mining force in the cluster of the First Expeditionary Fleet. As long as they start to operate, the shortage of various resources can be alleviated.

The industrial area in the flagship is now in a mess, but fortunately, those rat engineers are not complete idiots. The most important industrial mother bed on the battleship is still carefully maintained in a sealed state, and the drawings have not been lost or damaged.

This can still be saved, but it just takes some time.

Does the flag have this time? Yes, it has been here for the past 20 years. Should it be anxious at this critical moment when it finally arrives? Moreover, the distribution of equipment, retraining, and reconnaissance of the target planet, all these things have not been completed.

After sorting out these messy things and things to do, and pushing the most important and most urgent things forward to solve them, then this mess of situation will finally have some clues.

At this time, a rat affairs officer walked towards Qi quickly. Of course, sorting out some clues from this mess does not mean that Qi can have some free time. At this point when he just woke up, Qi will be busy for a long time.

Not long after, the arrival of a group of rat girls made Qi's side a little more noisy. In their actions, Qi's hair was straightened and trimmed, his claws were polished, and he put on a dress that covered his ribs that were prominent because of his thinness.

If Qi himself said it, he felt that he was like a flamboyant groundhog at this time. If it was in the past, Qi would not be willing to accept such an outfit, but it was different now.

The new generation of rats on the First Expeditionary Fleet must know who their superiors and commanders are.

This was the first time Qi greeted them, so he chose to make himself look brighter and more sociable, not so much like an old guy.

After completing a series of procedures, Qi took a large black captain's hat from the tray, put it on his head, and stood up. He was going to wave to his soldiers on the stage of the broadcasting room on the flagship and let them follow him. To this end, he prepared to give a speech.

On this day, a somewhat thin guy appeared in front of all the ratmen in the entire First Fleet.

He spoke very calmly, but he attracted cheers from almost all the ratmen. This was an extremely successful speech. It was hard to believe that Qi had been in hibernation and out of touch with these new generation ratmen for so long.

But he was able to make these guys cheer for him collectively in a speech.

This was an extremely incredible thing, but Qi didn't think it was a big deal. Speech has always been very simple for him. You just need to tell these guys what they want, and then they will naturally cheer for you.

What do these new generations want?

Wide space, open, unlimited resource supply, ignorance and enthusiasm for the colonized planet.

So, Qi emphasized these loudly in his speech.

"Take that planet! There will be a wide space! Take that planet! Our resources will no longer be scarce! Take that planet! It will belong to us!"

"For the great gods! For the great emperor!"

It was that simple, the speech was that simple. After Qi shouted all this, naturally, his name also appeared in the cheers of the new generation of ratmen.

"For the great captain Qi! For the great captain Qi!"

The speech ended, Qi did not stay here for long. There were still many things he needed to deal with during this period. He did not want to be trapped here, trapped on this planet he was not familiar with. He would go back and take the rat empire. Qi made a promise to him.

The mobilization of the first fleet of the ratmen was completed soon. With the scanning of this galaxy by those reconnaissance ships, several suitable space minerals were found soon. These minerals were located in an asteroid belt and a satellite.

Soon, this colonial war will begin.

In fact, the natives on that planet should also be able to respond to what is about to happen. After all, such a large fleet was already exposed when the First Expeditionary Fleet completely broke into this galaxy.

Now, even with the optical telescope, the arrival of the rats can be observed. I hope they are prepared.
