The diplomat of the Water Tribe witnessed those spaceships flying across the void. He did not understand why the imperial troops, who were full of worshipers of human gods, were so proactive. As he began to approach the core of the empire, human beliefs became more and more unchangeable, but he instinctively believed The Greater Good is Enlightenment, the Ether is Wisdom.
"Very well, Qi clan. Your driving is impeccable. Earth clan, your maintenance is even more superb. Without your contribution to the higher good, we would not be able to influence them so easily."
The female commander of the Qi clan, a woman with slightly blue-green skin, is quite beautiful according to human aesthetics, she answered calmly. "It's your diplomacy that's masterful."
The Earth Clan engineer also took off his heat shield and bowed in his khaki power suit. "For the Greater Good."
Such humility is a skill that every Tai needs to learn. Yes, it is a skill. When the Titans are in rest time, they are all obliged to try to practice the formula of the Supreme Good Way. Imperial scholars once studied this. formula, and finally came to a conclusion.
The mantras and postures they call "Tao" or "Zen" can greatly suppress the hormones in the living body and strengthen the individual's sense of recognition of the race and society. It is even effective for humans, whether it is psychic influence or something else. The reason is still not clear to imperial scholars.
But the reduction of hormones will not make them lax, inattentive or have other side effects. On the contrary, their Zen makes them more determined and wiser, and as far as possible, for most biological equals, of course, titanium is more equal than other equals, Ether is more equal and equal than Titanium.
Tai from the Qi clan said. "The detector reports that the human transport ship has deviated from the expected trajectory and is heading towards our... power room!"
The Air Caste commander yelled. "Asshole, those humans haven't returned to the higher good at all. Can they shoot down those transport planes?"
Qi gave instructions to the soldiers in the direction of the fort, and the reply he received was brief and precise.
"There is no way to save it."
The Water Clan diplomat was not too surprised and just calmly commanded. "The Earth caste prepares materials to protect the damaged area, and the Qi caste informs the Fire caste members in the merchant ship that I need to condemn the enemy."
The only words that answered his orders were clear sentences. "For the Greater Good!"
It had been a long time since Alan Bayer last used the space suit. He felt comfortable, completely different from the one that smelled like urine before, and it was equipped with many useful things.
At this moment, the assault hot-melt drill of the transport ship broke through the titanium crystal alloy of the ship body, revealing the strange metal structure inside. It has to be said that although this race is young, it is still full of abilities that humans do not have.
At this moment, where the transport ship was inserted, because the cabin was destroyed, a large amount of air was lost, and a violent hurricane swept inside, sucking out several aliens. They were wearing earth-yellow engineering suits. They should be engineers from the Tu clan, but now they are just a mess. Meat.
Alan Bair said to the staff officer. "Pay attention to any alien creations you see after entering. Destroy the glowing ones first. Be careful to turn on the night vision of the jump suit. It may be a bit unfamiliar, but it is necessary."
The staff officer repeated. "Destroy all the Lumen Balls. We are at a numerical disadvantage. Use tactics to change the situation!"
the soldiers answered. "yes!"
Alan Bayer opened the door of the transport ship. The space here has turned into a crisis status with flashing red lights. It can be seen that this should be a very important place, but no matter what, shoot it!
The Fire Caste and the defenders of the Earth Caste here in combat uniforms have died due to the heat of the transport ship. This place, which is about the size of a church hall, is filled with various equipment that buzzes and roars, and then plasma grenades roll down. Prevent enemies from hiding in blind spots and destroy enemy equipment at the same time.
The explosion of several plasma grenades filled the place with plasma, and the metal melted. After the sizzling sound of electricity, the light on the titanium spacecraft suddenly dimmed, and then quickly opened a darker lumen ball as if the reserve energy was activated ( lamp).
Alan Bair's communication equipment suddenly contacted the enemy. It was the voice of the old man from the Water clan, speaking in poor Gothic. "Humans, why do you disobey the teachings of the Greater Good?!"
Alan Beyer calmly imitated that accent. "The Greater Good, that's great, but ah, you stupid aliens don't know what this universe is really like. Let me teach you a lesson, little sir. When you die, I recommend you find your ether. If your disgusting soul really exists, and can be projected into that deep and terrifying place." Alan Bayer hung up the communicator, and on the bridge, the senior officials of the Water Clan broke into a cold sweat after being told...
Lieutenant Colonel Alan Beyer calmly ordered. "Turn on the night vision equipment and hide yourself. This looks like a power room? Let's guard what looks like a door here first."
After Alan Bair finished speaking, he turned on his night vision. It was a green picture. Coupled with his Dark Age self-aim and the unique architectural style of the Tau, the sci-fi style similar to Star Wars now looks really like the game picture. Almost.
He shot and destroyed the reserve energy lamp here, and the soldiers filed into the bunker. The whole place became quiet, making people nervous.
But Alan Bair quickly noticed that the visitors here were not the Fire Caste, but something with a bright searchlight crawling out of the "dog hole" high in the narrow wall.
"Drones, called soldier bees or something." The staff officer recalled what he had learned, then raised his weapon and fired. The bullet from the bolt pistol accurately hit the drone. It swayed its body and then fell down with smoke. But he also took pictures of the situation here. Almost instantly, the passage door on the right was opened.
They were armed with explosion-proof shields and scimitar weapons. They had beaks and feather-like things, and their bodies were a little curved. They looked very savage and were wearing white close-fitting combat uniforms customized by the Tau. This thing is called a Kroot, a Titan. subordinates of the clan. (In the Empire, people think that titanium is similar to green skin, and Kroot is something like a grunt. They are similar to symbiosis. As for alliance? The empire has no such concept.)
"Damn alien..." Alan Bair's relic gun instantly penetrated the weak white translucent shield, but when the bullet hit the Kroot again, it was no longer powerful.
Even the relic gun that can destroy green-skinned orcs and penetrate the armor of Space Marines cannot kill the enemy with one shot, but so what, there are three hundred guns here!
The heat rays burst out like a showerhead in the shower, and the scorching light even illuminated the surprised expressions of the bird-like aliens. However, the Imperial Guard could not help but be surprised at the strength of the aliens. After all, they had such lovely things in their hands. Not a laser gun but a heat ray deflagration gun.
But in just tens of seconds of shooting, dozens of Kroot that came were instantly turned into scorched earth. Such firepower also made the fire warriors behind look in disbelief. After all, the human troops in their memories were far from this. Terrible firepower.
The commander here immediately made a judgment. "Retreat the users of the vx25 combat suit, they are not needed here." The vx25 combat suit is equipped with heavy firepower and jets, which can perform fire suppression and maneuver, and can almost crush enemies that lack armor-piercing capabilities, but The Imperial Guard in front of them didn't seem to be that strong of an enemy at all.
The Fire Clan commander immediately judged that he needed to find a way to expand the corridor, otherwise he would not be able to pass through the enemy's dense fire area. He was calmly commanding, even if the heat ray did not stop for a minute, and the Fire Clan commander thought for a long time before making a decision. Use plasma to open up the edges of corridors and invade enemies.
But he ignored one problem, that is, the enemy will not wait for you. When he realized that something was wrong, the lights in front of him were suddenly extinguished by heat rays. After a crisp sound of destruction, the whole world became dark. Next, There were several screams, and the commander took out his rail rifle, but he was completely at a loss.
He has not encountered such a situation. Generally speaking, whether it is soldiers, bees or other investigation methods, they will provide him with clear information and enough time. When the light bursts from the flickering firearms, fully armed humans wearing fighting suits will Kill the elites of the Tau Empire.
He realized that he had never encountered an enemy like the 4th Skadi Infantry. He had never encountered an enemy like a pack of wild beasts, following their instincts to hunt them down.
At this moment, the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment wiped the rifles in their hands. Obviously, the combat effectiveness of this group of Fire Clan is not high, and is even quite weak. This is no problem, but this is the first time for the 4th Skadi Infantry Regiment to encounter such a situation. Poor alien.
Of course, titanium corpses filled the room, and there were even gunshot wounds on their bodies. In order to save bullets, the fourth Skadi regiment chose close combat. When they were worried about how strong the alien armor was, they found that the guys in front of them were all the same. goods
The veteran couldn't help but complain. "Only that feathered birdman can still take a few hits. This group of aliens called Tai...Tai...oh, titanium are too weak."
Alan Beyer retorted. "Tunnel warfare is not the Tau's strong point. We can never belittle the enemies of the Empire, because arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Now move forward, let's suppress the enemy's command room."
The staff officer nodded. "Did you hear that? The lieutenant colonel's teaching is not bad. A proud soldier will be defeated. And belittling the enemies of the empire is also belittling yourself. If you are defeated by them one day, how will you go to see the emperor?"
The veterans nodded and continued to move forward with weapons in hand. However, in the bridge of the TIE battleship, the restless emotions could not be suppressed, and the soldiers of the Air caste kept reporting.
"The signal from the second corridor disappeared, the signal from the third Fire Clan team disappeared, the signal from the first corridor disappeared, the fifth team reported...the enemy is...invincible?"
The commanders of the three clans looked at each other. They couldn't believe that a merchant ship carrying a large number of combat uniforms and members of the Fire Clan would be beaten like this by a mere transport ship. They had seen many human troops, strong and weak, but Neither will be the case.
But the information was sent by compatriots who believed in the Greater Good, and they had to believe it. The humans who just moments ago were still swearing that they believed in the Greater Good, and the humans who were manipulated by them just now, have now become the gods of death...
The Water Clan sighed. He had no choice. Although the enemy was powerful, he was not invincible. If the 30,000 soldiers on the ship carried out a war of attrition regardless of any clan or combat equipment, then victory would be possible, but don't forget that there is an Imperial cruiser. The void is watching with eager eyes.
Just when they reached a stalemate (actually one-sided), the Water Clan felt the vibration of the communicator. He opened the channel for humans, and a sonorous sound and the noise of roaring guns came from it.
"Everyone from Titanium, I have reached the military bedroom you don't know where. I just slaughtered about six hundred fire warriors. We didn't lose anything, but my hands were sore from killing them."
"If you want to survive, then help us go to the nearest imperial world to join the large forces, otherwise I will let you all disappear into the dark void. Now remove your troops, do not ambush, and let them leave the front section of the battleship. "
The communication ended without a trace of discussion. The two officials from other clans did not understand Gothic and could only listen to the stumbling translation by the senior official of the Water clan, because he polished many words, such as adding honorifics and requests.
Even so, the top executives of the Tu clan still shouted. "Even if I die here, I will not disobey the Greater Good!"
The girl from the Air Clan raised her small pistol that was accelerated by electromagnetism to produce plasma, and pointed it at the senior officials of the Water Clan. "Ether misjudged you..."
The old man from the Water Clan just answered calmly. "In any case, surviving is the best interpretation of the Greater Good. If humans think we can live, it means they need us. Need equals cooperation and alliance. This star area is already under our control, but don't Forget, those scary creatures are here too.”
Terrifying creatures, these words made the two senior officials look ugly, and even with human aesthetics, they could see the despair.
"The advance team of the swarm is so terrifying. If the contact point really comes, titanium power alone cannot survive." These words of the Water Clan completely broke the dignity of the two senior officials. The order comes.
"Retreat, all retreat, all the Tau from the power room to the bridge make way for the humans...let them come to us!"
This sentence is tantamount to giving in and retreating. If said in the Empire, it may cause a mutiny, but the Tau soldiers who believe in the Greater Good undoubtedly agree that this is for the Greater Good.
Alan Bayer's next actions were smooth and smooth, without seeing any enemies. They walked into the location of the highest level with guns in hand. The three senior clan officials and the humans looked at each other in confusion.
Alan Bayer bowed calmly and then said. "Tau, if you don't want to die, sail the ship now, we need to go to our compatriots!"
"You have no choice. If there is a problem with the track, I will shoot you!"
The diplomat finished translating, and of course he smoothed things over a lot, such as asking Alan Bair to use honorifics and admitting that they needed Titanium's help, which was Ah Q in general.
But no matter what, the 30,000 Tau on the battleship were defeated by 300 elite Imperial Guards. This is a reality that cannot be washed away. This story will become a badge of honor for the Empire and a pillar of shame for the Tau until the end of this dark universe. time to forget about it.
After stabilizing the war situation, the Tu clan went to maintain the equipment lost in the war. Alan Bayer also turned on the communicator, reported the situation to the Bordeaux, and transported the remaining 10,000 people from the Skadi Fourth Regiment. In this way, the Bordero can continue to operate for more than half a year, and the Skadi Fourth Regiment can also reach the Imperial World.
The only question now is whether the food eaten by the Tau will cause diarrhea. Considering that they have a Tau Alliance army composed of many Imperial people, Alan Bair believes that this matter will not be a problem...
perhaps…
In any case, I actually hope that readers will view the battle situation rationally. First of all, the terrain is narrow, and secondly, the empire's weapons and equipment, tactical matching, and soldier experience are better. If it is a frontal battlefield, the Titanium's firepower and numbers can definitely suppress the fourth regiment.
Of course, the premise is that the heroes of the fourth regiment do not take action, such as the terrifying hybrid Catachan Melta, the black technology second lieutenant, the fishing political commissar, the green-skinned leader, etc...
