"Your Highness, the Tau have not yet seen the truly cruel and terrifying side of the galaxy. Besides, their development time is too short."
Doral's words can represent almost all Ada's views on the Tau, and perhaps also represent humans' views on the Tau, but Soshyan just sighed.
"Really... Then the Ada Empire, which has ruled the Milky Way for nearly 60 million years, would have thought that humans with a civilization history of only 50,000 to 40,000 years would one day become the new overlord of the Galaxy? And the people of the Great Crusade era also Would you ever imagine that your descendants, after ruling the Milky Way for ten thousand years, would be unable to do anything against a small Zu'er clan whose civilization has less than six thousand years of history?"
The breeze blew by, blowing the white-gold cloak behind Soshiyang, and both of them fell into silence.
After a while, Soshyan picked up a drone and looked at some laser scratches on it. Then he turned it over and observed its anti-gravity structure and weapon racks in detail, while saying:
"When I was studying the ancient history of mankind, I once saw a saying that the ancients had no time to mourn themselves, and later generations mourned them, and future generations mourned without taking heed of it, which also made future generations mourn again... This is also what I The reason for paying so much attention to the Tau, no matter how they may develop in the future, it is definitely right to at least learn from the past lessons. Speaking of this, I am more curious about the so-called Ether who leads the Tau, how they do it To manage such a large ethnic group in such an orderly manner?"
Doral calmed down his expression and nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, I believe more and more that you are the new path Asuryan has chosen for our race. We have been decaying and sinking for too long. The prophets seem to have farsightedness, but in fact they are just indulging in the established fantasy of the future. Path Warriors You even need to wear a mask to dare to face the war. The vast majority of our compatriots either isolate themselves or escape. Becoming a pirate is just another kind of self-exile. It will definitely not work to go back to the past."
Regarding Doral's words, Soshyan did not comment. He just put down the Drone and came to an xV8 Crisis Battle Suit. It was shorter than Soshyan, but much taller than the average Astartes.
There are almost no scars visible on this battle suit. Only the front armor of the center cockpit of the battle suit has a smooth and flat hole the size of Soshi Yang's thumb. This is where the Dark Death Bishop of the Emerald Scythe Shrine used his "Black Glaze" The result after shooting was that the weapon combined some of the capabilities of the Comorian Witchcraft Rifle. It had strong penetrating power but was mainly aimed at killing people. The ammunition that penetrated the armor shattered upon contact with living creatures, causing the opponent to quickly decompose. Make a black glass statue, but the outside will be almost undamaged, very suitable for capturing enemy armor or vehicles.
Seeing Soshiyang approaching, the attendant on the side gently tapped the back of the combat suit with the thin stick of spirit bone in his hand, and its cockpit opened automatically, giving a clear view of the situation inside.
"One Astartes can easily slaughter hundreds or thousands of Tau. Their bodies are too weak to be mentioned, but as long as they enter this weapon called a battle suit, a weak Tau can also compete with the powerful. against the Astartes... at least in part of their capabilities. If there were more of these battle suits, and if their air power could last longer, this battle might not be that easy to fight, at least. The casualties won’t be that low.”
Although Soshiyan said the casualties were low, in fact the number of casualties in the royal court this time was much higher than the last time it supported the Kingdom of Linnaeus. Currently, a total of 371 personnel of various types were killed. You must know that last time Linnaeus Only 6 people were killed in the battle. This was definitely the most costly battle for the royal court. More than 23,000 soldiers and civilians of the Kingdom of Lilarsus died.
Of course, the huge loss this time was also due to the fact that they did not bring any servant troops or mercenaries. The Ironsworn Regiment of the Hearthborn had been "dismissed" in name, but in fact they were left in the orbit of the royal court, ready to support the ground battlefield at any time. situation, but in the end it was not used much.
The death of more than 300 warriors is not unbearable for the current royal court, but considering Ada's population and relatively sensitive emotions, it is foreseeable that the impact on the people will still be great, so it is not surprising that some Arkworld will Choosing to die without saving anything, sacrificing the lives of loved ones for a group of unrelated "compatriots" is unacceptable to some Adas when everyone is in difficulty.
"Your Highness, Ti
The battle uniforms of our clan are to make up for their lack of physical bodies. Our clan is not very thirsty for these things. There used to be a kind of spirit bone knight in some wild worlds, which was a structure driven by a living person. It was slightly larger than the Nether Guard. The Ghost Knight is slightly smaller, but these things have basically disappeared. "
"I think that the Netherworld structure still has quite a few flaws. If it is driven only by soul stones, it will be quite slow. And the conditions required for the combination of living people and ghosts are too harsh. They must be twins, or too It’s so big that it’s difficult to deliver. I think the Spirit Bone Knight you just mentioned is a good idea. Even though Ada has a swift figure and good strength, she still needs to be protected on the battlefield. Everyone in the population is extremely Precious and worth protecting at any cost."
With that said, Soshyan came to the back of the xV8 combat suit.
"This jetpack gives them great mobility. I suddenly thought of Shadow Ghost... My dear, what do you think of making a flying Wraithbone Knight based on the combat style of the Shadow Ghost path? You see, although the Royal Court can't make the Prism Rifle yet, the Prism Cannon can. Combined with an anti-gravity backpack and a holographic stance, as well as armor that can withstand a certain amount of heavy firepower, I think it should be good as frontline support equipment... .”
Doral blinked.
"Your Highness...you are truly talented."
But after thinking for a moment, Soshyan shook his head again, denying this idea.
"No, no, I've fallen into a misunderstanding again. It's more practical to build more tanks if you have this strength. What do you have to do with two legs and two hands? Anyway, it's anti-gravity flight, and it's not restricted by terrain. The tank can be bombarded The surface is still small, and protection is easy to ensure..."
Doral chuckled lightly and said:
"Your Highness, I actually think it's not completely useless. There are some enemies that are difficult to destroy with long-range firepower. Creating a small amount to deal with certain special enemies, such as big demons and giant Tyranid creatures, may have miraculous effects."
After hearing what Doral said, Soshyan thought about it for a while and felt that this was indeed the truth. He nodded in agreement:
"Ai Qing is right. Let's talk to Master Kaletu when we get back and see what he thinks."
Then Soshyan picked up the drone that had been put down.
"I have gained a lot from observing the way the Tau troops are organized in combat, especially the large number of unmanned weapons stations they call drones to assist infantry groups in combat. I have been thinking... Ada or Talking about the current situation in which the Royal Court can only adopt the strategy of elite troops, how to maximize the use of limited troops and reduce casualties. This kind of drone gave me a lot of inspiration. A team of 6-12 people usually equips 4 -8 Drone Drones, basically one person can be assisted by one Drone Drone, which makes the firepower of their team far exceed the original scale. The Royal Court is also now using a large number of Spindle Drone Drones produced by Vaal's Blessing. As an auxiliary robot, Aiqing, do you think that by modifying the Spindle Drone to a certain extent so that it has the ability to fly in anti-gravity and equip it with weapons to fight with the soldiers, can it effectively improve its combat capabilities?"
