The tall shadow rat man's words did not scare any of the rat men. Instead, they became excited, "Yes, yes! Fight for the rat god while alive, and return to the rat god after death."

Twenty supply ships broke through the atmosphere and merged with other supply ships in orbit. There were more than two hundred ships in total.

Of the more than two hundred supply ships, 80% have been infiltrated by the Shadow Rats. The Death Order's fleet would never have thought that its end would come with the arrival of the supply ships.

Most supply ships transfer supplies to battleships very smoothly. Everything is just like normal supply work. With so many boxes filled with supplies, no one will actually open and inspect them one by one. They just scan them with instruments.

When the door of the warehouse where supplies are stored is closed, the Shadow Rats become active. Their mission is not just to destroy the Death Order's ships, but they also want to use the ships to kick off a grand plan.

Zurahman, who was resting, was very angry. He was woken up by the emergency communication. Ever since the long-term tug-of-war with the rat men began, he had not had a good rest. Finally, the rats had become quieter under the orbital bombing in the past half month. Why was there another emergency communication?

"What's the matter? If it's something insignificant, I have many ways to torture people." The emergency communication only had audio, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on on the other side of the communication.

"High... High Priest, there are ratmen on our battleship. It's still unclear how they got up. Now they are attacking the power cabin and the bridge."

There was a loud bang, causing communication to be suspended for two seconds.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Zurahman pressed his hand on the virtual communication board, pulled it to the side, pulled out the second line, and immediately connected the space station's communication.

"Use the optical radar to see what happened to the Third Fleet!" Zurahman immediately ordered as soon as the communication was connected.

The scene immediately changed to the commander of the space station, who said in a panic, "High Priest, our third fleet was attacked. Those ratmen brought fusion weapons onto the battleship! We suffered heavy losses."

After saying that, the space station commander transmitted the optical radar picture. The Third Fleet in the synchronous orbit fell into chaos. Many warships were exploding, and the intact warships left the orbit and fell out of formation.

More detailed information came over, and half of the 300 battleships of the Third Fleet were invaded by ratmen. Like special forces, these ratmen have very advanced weapons, can become invisible, and are more cunning.

The Third Fleet has just completed its bombing mission, and the crew members are all in a state of idle rest. It is normal to be stunned by a sneak attack. Moreover, these rat people are madmen. They have never thought about surviving. The shadow rats that swallowed the fusion bomb only want death, not life.

"Let the crew of the Third Fleet hold on, I will immediately mobilize the Death Army to support them." Zurahman panicked. After giving the order to the commander of the space station, he immediately asked his elite Death Army to assemble and fly into space through the transport ship.

In such chaotic times, sometimes mistakes are made. For example, some of the transport ships were abnormal and did not fly to the Third Fleet, but chose to land on the space station.

When Zurahman heard the commander of the space station reporting to him that the rat men would wear the skin of corpses, disguise themselves as members of the cult, and use the same accent to deceive the navigators, everything was too late. The rat men who landed on the space station immediately turned the entire space station into a sea of flames.

On the other hand, two warships in the Third Fleet left synchronous orbit and began to enter the atmosphere. The navigator at the star port immediately connected the communications between the two warships.

"Battleship No. 5, Cruiser No. 14, you have fallen out of orbit and are in danger of crashing. What happened to you?"

This weak communication echoed the red light on the bridge of the battleship. The two shadow ratmen were chewing the brains of the corpse pilots on their hands while operating the battleship to continue diving towards the planet.

This is a talent given to them by the Rat God. They can learn the knowledge in the target's mind through the brain of the target. However, this kind of learning takes time to truly understand and integrate. Memorized memories do not represent understood knowledge.

But this ability at least allows the Shadow Rats to operate battleships and smash into planets. They always remember their mission and give the big plan a brilliant start, so as to please the Rat God.

Zurahman was going crazy. He never thought that the situation would become so bad. The Third Fleet suffered heavy losses, the space station was being damaged, and two battleships were about to be smashed down. The target turned out to be a big city with a population of several million.

He had to immediately arrange for people to organize evacuation and evacuation of the population in an attempt to reduce casualties.

The Shadow Rats on the bridge found that it was very difficult for them to stabilize the flight path of the battleship. It was almost impossible to accurately hit a city from space. The helpless Shadow Rats roared for the Rat God, and were annihilated in the explosion and white light caused by the landing of the battleship.

Two mushroom clouds rose near the big city, and the shock wave caused by the explosion also caused considerable damage to the city. Fortunately, there was no direct hit, and the damage was lower than expected.

Zurahman, who was slightly relieved, slumped down in his seat. At least the damage was still controllable.

No city has been lost. The Third Fleet, with the help of the Death Army, is retaking the warships controlled by the Skaven. The second batch of Death Army is heading to the space station.

And underground, which Zulaman could not imagine, on the altar of the Rat God, Ike used his psychic energy to project the image of the spacecraft crashing and causing a huge mushroom cloud.

All the ratmen on the planet who saw this scene fell into madness, their eyes became even greener, and their unexplained screams filled every passage with ratmen.

"The scene in the prophecy has appeared, and the big plan has begun! Yes, yes, all the rat babies, whether crawling or walking, leave here and rush to the ground, eat up everything above, and sacrifice to the rat god!"

Ike on the altar opened his hands, Psionics, so that his words and appearance could be seen by all the rat people, "Starting from today, you are no longer the dirty rats that can only huddle underground. You are no longer waste, garbage, and dispensable odds and ends. You have a new name - the Doomsday Rat Pack."

"Now, you doomsday rats, there is no need to be patient and dormant. Go ahead and let go of your stomachs. There is plenty of food on the ground for you to devour."

As Ike's words fell, the great engineers also started their arrangements. A huge earthquake spread across the entire planet. A large number of important facilities, buildings, cities, bridges, and even the Death Cult's most precious ascension platform fell in pieces.

The damage caused by the earthquake disaster was still secondary. From the cracked earth, large numbers of rat-men swarmed out like a gray tide. Their sharp teeth could even swallow metal, and this terrifying tide was destroying everything on the Consume ground.
