Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Darkus was thinking about a problem, how to effectively kill rats in potholes around the world.

Flooding? After Queza's adventure ended, Darkus left Queza with the elves and some lizardmen, and went to Chakua, a city full of gold, for isolation without contact, and the second-generation Slann Demon Priest Shakespati stayed in Queza with some of the lizardmen to complete the follow-up finishing work.

Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, and the mouse's son can play video games.

Although the Plague Clan is a heretic among the Skaven, it does not prevent the clan's rats from digging holes. They forcibly dug out a passage from Nehekhara to the continent of Ruth Kia. There is an essential difference between that tunnel and the root of the world. The root of the world is not the underground passage that Darkus thought up due to the influence of a certain game, but a fast-moving spiritual passage. It passed in a flash, but the backlash was a bit strong. He experienced a short-distance movement once, and it didn't feel so good. After more experiences, he was like Liv, who looked old and tired. After all, the essence of the world's roots is magic. .

The passage of the Plague Clan is a forced physical tunnel, opened from under the seabed of the vast ocean. Therefore, Shakespati also solved the passage very well at that time. After withdrawing the snake belonging to Sotek, he used multiple fixed-point blasts to gather the energy through the Lustria continent's spiritual vein network. The energy collapsed part of the seabed of the vast ocean, and transformed part of the ravines and trenches, allowing seawater to pour into the channels. These things are too easy for a second-generation Slann demon priest who is good at moving mountains and reclaiming seas. .

Basic exercise, don’t do 6.

Now, the passage connecting the old world and the continent of Lustria is completely useless.

Moreover, Darkus listened to Shakespati's instructions and chose the locations for the fixed-point blasting very carefully. You must know that the seabed is never flat, there are ravines and trenches. Under Shakespati's transformation, the passage that could have been re-opened became impassable, and it was even necessary to dig a long way around the ravines and trenches slowly. After another thousand years of digging, it might be possible to open it. ? The prerequisite for this is to drain out the seawater in the channel and block the continuous influx of seawater. In short, just play, and there is no more than a thousand years left for the Plague Clan.

Time is running out for the Skaven...

The problem is that the flood water is not strong enough. Darkus remembers that the underground passages of the Skaven in the old world connected various mountain ranges, one area after another, seemingly endless. The realm of the Skaven is called the Underworld for a reason, stretching from the glacial lands of the north to the humid swamps and scorching deserts of the south, from the steppes of the east to the dense jungles of the mysterious continent.

Although the Underground Empire can be said to be the largest and most complex empire in the entire medieval world, in fact this empire was not controlled by a single clan. Perhaps even the Thirteen Council does not know how many secret passages those clans, large and small, have. In fact, the Skaven do not like to move on the surface. This is due to the influence of blood and environment. Compared with the surface, they prefer to use the 11-way method to trek long distances in underground passages.

Some passages have a history of thousands of years, and the passages connecting major mountain ranges have even welcomed the passage of hundreds of millions of Skaven during these thousands of years.

However, the natural laziness and endless hunger of ordinary slave rats and clan rats prevent them from traveling too far on their own feet. When a large group of rat people has a clear destination, they may be able to become faster and not Tired too quickly? Just like looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst, in addition when the war comes, the cruel whipping of storm rats and overseers may also make them travel long distances with insufficient or even no rest, but this does not solve the fundamental problem.

As a result, a means of transportation was born. The engineer warlocks of the Skryre clan designed a warpstone rail train. The entire transportation network consisted of rails and small trains driven by huge warpstone engines. Although the train is still in the trial run stage, it is still faster than the Eleventh Road, but the engineering warlocks have not yet solved the problem of the warpstone engine being very easy to overheat and often encountering pressure regulation.

To put it bluntly, the reliability is not high. It has the beauty of a steam tank. Overload explosions and catastrophic losses are common, and collapses caused by explosions are even more ordinary.

If these problems are solved, warpstone rail trains may become the most convenient mode of transportation between settlements. After finding this place, Darkus could only hope that William III would lock the blueprint so that the Rat Tank or the Rat-Man Happy Train would not really appear. However, he believed that even if it was locked, it would not solve the problem. The infiltration of the Empire by the Cavin Ratmen may be a matter of time before the relevant drawings and prototypes of No. 13 are produced.

Maybe the humans and dwarves would study during the day, and the Skaven would switch shifts at night?

The watering method doesn't seem to work? How to do this? Can't seem to do it? But is there a way to do it? Let the Slann priests pour water from the central sea into the Skaven capital? Then use the energy of the spiritual network and the unique perception of the Slann Demon Priests to let the seawater spread along the channels to the Skaven settlements?

The Skaven underground empire that raises water when it's high and doesn't care when it's low until the seawater fills the entire old world? This seems to be a math problem? How much sea water is needed? Darkus thinks this seems feasible? If that doesn't work, why don't you start with more? The Sea of ​​Claws, the Vast Ocean, the Central Sea, and the Great Styx all attack at the same time? Let the elven spellcasters also participate. Is it really not possible to invite Marcelan out and pour it in from multiple directions?

There was no doubt that water was effective against rats, and Darkus remembered an incident that had occurred in the Skaven settlement below Altdorf, which had suffered a devastating disaster. The Council of Thirteen once sent Chuanquillo to Altdorf to find the powerful magical artifact "Insect Stone" controlled by the Plague Clan. But Chuanquilo, Mr. Chuanquilo must have a big job if he takes action. During the decisive battle, he was in the dimension stone. Under strong stimulation, he concentrated his firepower on the Skaven next to Cook. The reason why he attacked the Skaven was because the Skaven was his apprentice. Just like the common plot of Skaven, Eventually his apprentice betrayed him and became Skook's lackey.

In the end, the apprentice died, but the Skook survived. Chuanquillo also messed up the task assigned to him by the Council of Thirteen as before. In addition to messing up the task, he also caused a major flood that destroyed one-tenth of the Altdorf settlement. If Darkus remembers correctly, this incident should have occurred during the era of Karl Franz. This also resulted in the fact that the settlement of Altdorf had not recovered its vitality until the end, and the settlement of Altdorf was destroyed. The task was thus handed over to the Chaos Army.

As for the earthquake, forget it. In Darkus' opinion, earthquakes do not solve any problems. Take Altdorf as an example. No matter how the earthquake occurs, Altdorf on the surface cannot be affected. It cannot be directly carried out above and below ground. Let's go, that job is too rough, and his love work has been wasted. This is a problem involving mathematics, engineering, etc., and things he doesn't understand such as stress surfaces, soil structures, etc. are all within the scope of calculation.

Although the Slann Demon Priests are wise men, it is a bit difficult for them to be responsible for this job. They are only living creatures, not biological computers. Darkus believes that the complex environment of the Skaven settlement can completely exhaust their CPU. Burned dry. Moreover, in addition to Altdorf, there are also large and small Skaven settlements scattered in the Old World. How to deal with Middenheim so that the earthquake will not destroy Middenheim? Go directly to the next era to report?

In addition to affecting humans on the surface, earthquakes may also cause the dwarves to enter the next era of sadness. Then the dwarves combined the contents recorded in the Book of Hatred and came to a conclusion. Valaya was on top, and it turned out that the dwarves had been killed before. The culprit of entering the Age of Sadness is actually the Lizard Man? This is because the incident is not exciting enough.

Thinking about this, Darkus suddenly thought of something. He felt that his thinking seemed to be constrained. If physics was not good, he could use magic and chemistry. Pouring water into the channel could be achieved, but pouring cement or concrete into the channel would not be possible. It's completely unrealistic. How much cement and concrete is needed? Where can he get such materials? Wouldn't he use these materials to build Ulthuan and various colonies? However, can magic be used to achieve chemical effects? First let the wind of magic flow into the passages and settlements, and then make the wind of magic materialize through magic?

To create something out of nothing, turn stone into gold, fill in the passages and settlements and solidify them? Darkus didn't know if this idea was practical. It was beyond his understanding. After returning to the mainland of Lustria, he would have to consult Master Ma while taking a bath.

Darkus kept thinking, and in the process of thinking, he suddenly thought of something. Although Si Ku had been killed by him a long time ago and could no longer die, the insect stone should still be there? After thinking about this, he began to retrieve the memory about Chongshi.

Insect stone is essentially a warpstone, but it has been slightly modified by the Plague Clan, adding some other unknown substances and elements. It exudes an evil aura, and even the ratmen who are obsessed with warpstone are disgusted. This is because it has a powerful ability to cause disease, and any Skaven who touch its surface will find themselves infected by the glowing worms, creating a rampant disease that spreads throughout Skaven society, hence the name of the Wormstone. origin. It was the color of swamp slime, criss-crossed with black veins, and glowed a sickly yellow instead of the green glow of most warpstones.

And those unknown substances and elements are worms, which are said to be substances that appeared in the medieval world after the Great Invasion, like some kind of microbial virus. Under normal circumstances, this kind of worm cannot cause any harm to the carrier, but it is different in another environment. After being strengthened by the dimension stone, the power of the worm is amplified, and these deadly microorganisms become chaotic, corrosive and mutated. Tentacles, and the reason why the Skaven are so afraid is because it is related to the environmental impact on the Skaven. Their bodies contain more residues than surface creatures, and worms are more deadly to them.

At first, when the insect stone was not transformed by the Plague Clan, it was hidden in a corner underground. The Skaven unearthed it in a large tomb. If Darkus remembers correctly, it should be underground in Altdorf. , discovered by a clan called Mor.

The Moir clan reached a turning point due to the emergence of the insect stone. The entire Moir clan, from the lowest slave rats to the clan warlords, were infected with fatal diseases because of this artifact and contracted the yellow light worm plague. These worms were in the terrible The pain quickly took away their lives. This infection soon proved to be Clan Maul's doom, infecting and killing every Skaven in the clan. The other surviving members of the Maul clan were buried alive in a huge tomb by other clans along with their corpses and insect stones, and the entire clan was wiped out.

The Skaven have no concept of time. After an unknown number of years, the matter of the Insect Stone was once again known to the Skaven. Fierce competition began among the Skaven clans, and countless battles about the Insect Stone began. Stone's intrigues and battles. After the Council of Thirteen learned that the Insect Stone was finally controlled by the Plague Clan, they could not sit still. The impact and damage caused by the heretics of the Plague Clan to the Skaven society was so great that they could not imagine this piece of land. What impact will the Insect Stone have on Skaven society if it falls into the hands of the Plague Clan? In the end, Mr. Chuan made a brilliant appearance.

Thinking about this, Darkus felt something was wrong. He seemed to have remembered something wrong. The insect stone was not discovered by the Mor clan. During the second Skaven civil war, the Mor clan stood against the epidemic. One side of the clan. In order to commend the loyalty of the Maul clan, King Nurgle VII ordered the use of alchemy to turn warpstone into the insect stone and made it as a gift to the Maul clan.

But these side details don't matter. What's important is that Darkus knows that the insect stone first appeared during the second Skaven Civil War, and this time is the most anxious moment of the second Skaven Civil War. At that time, Nurgrich VII was so worried that he actually asked General Sikke to go to the Lustria continent to find a way. The result...

Perhaps Darkus's actions caused a series of chain reactions. Maybe Skook was inspired in some way on the Lustria continent and researched the insect stone? result……

May the Horned Rat bless Skook who cannot be resurrected...

But these are also not important. What is important is that the insect stone inspired Darkus. If physics, chemistry and magic failed, he would turn his attention to biology, and biotechnology was the ancient saint's manifest knowledge. It's just that he doesn't know how many mantles the Slann Demon Priests have inherited, and whether the various instruments found on Obion Island can be used in the research and development process.

After thinking about this, Darkus then thought about the great work done by the Gray Prophet during the Black Death. In order to overthrow the Plague Clan, the Gray Prophet used enslaved human doctors and alchemists to start repairing the Black Death. , making it effective against the Plague Clan, making it even more deadly to the Skaven. The result was that the Black Death spread widely throughout Skaven society, killing countless Skaven.

During that trip to Queza, Darkus not only killed the Nurgle demon and the backbone of Skook's plague clan, he also captured a large number of random things. The censer flails, icons, scrolls, plague grimoires and rods of corruption of the Plague clan were thrown into Kotek's holy fire. In the holy fire that can burn all unclean things in the world, those dirty things were burned completely. .

However... those books from Ersin Alvin were retained by Darkus, such as "On the Diversity of Malignant Diseases", "Plagues and Danger" and various encyclopedias of plagues. , kept by the Lizardmen and stored in Hesiota.

Perhaps... Darkus can imitate the Plague Clan and inflict a big wave on the Skaven. This will not only effectively kill the Skaven on a large scale, but also cause harm to the Skaven society. Great damage. He could imagine that after the terrifying plague appeared, the Council of Thirteen would definitely think that this was a good thing done by the Plague Clan. Now the Skaven are in the second civil war. Go ahead and beat the brains out of the dog, unless The Great Horned Rat appeared in advance, bringing a magical unity to Skaven society.

It would be great if Darkos had friends among the Skaven. He has a blind eye on the situation in the Skaven society. He doesn’t know anything, and he doesn’t know who he is. What happened to the white rat named Musk when Lustria continent let him go? Did he return to the old world?

Drill a hole? There is no way to drill a hole, so whoever likes it can do it. He wouldn't drill a hole even if Darkus was killed. He was neither a rat hunter nor an adventurer, nor was he one of the Five Elbesrecs. Besides, no elf would be willing to drill a hole. Queza? Quezana is a lizardfolk city.

Perhaps the special prophet would be very willing to take the red-crowned skinks to drill holes. The problem is that this is not efficient at all. Darkus could have imagined that after a wave of special prophets drilled a wave, a large-scale sacrifice would be carried out. After the sacrifices were completed, the wave of people were The Skaven that the Special Prophet destroyed sprouted a hammer from somewhere else.

According to this development, the second war between Snake and Rat will last until the Year of the Monkey. Although Darkus is an immortal species and has a long life, time is still precious to him, and he still has a lot of things to do. Woolen cloth. It's a pity that Sotek is in a half-dead state, like a left foot fighting a right foot, otherwise he should have a good chat with Sotek about the Skaven issue. The problem is that Sotek's condition is not good. By the time Sotek's condition improves, it will probably be at the end of the Second Snake and Rat War, and Sotek will probably be gone...

"Lord Chief Consul?"

"Huh?" Facing Selire sitting opposite, he asked softly, and Darkus, who came back to his senses, responded.

"Do you need me to repeat what I just said?" Seeing his nephew turning around, Selile continued to ask in a low voice with the report in his hand. He didn't call Darkus his nephew, but the official position. He knew very clearly. He knew when and how to call Darkus. Now was one of the few meeting times in the arbitrary Druch society. Position is a must.

"I'm listening, keep going!"

Darkus left Altdorf at dawn in the morning. Although he chose the time well, the process of coming out was still very slow. A large number of Altdorf citizens gathered in the already narrow northern city, causing a long Due to time congestion, it took a long time to get out of Beicheng District. He stayed in Altdorf for a few days. He did not think that the citizens of Altdorf had the habit of getting up early. This was a semi-spontaneous and semi-organized behavior, and the organizer of the behavior did not appear.

Under the warm farewell of the citizens of Altdorf, the team walked out of the north city gate at noon. Now Darkus has returned to the camp outside Altdorf. At this time, a classic report session is being conducted as a post-war summary.

After that...the loot hasn't been distributed yet, the loot inside and outside the city will be gathered together, and the exciting loot distribution process will begin...(End of this chapter)
