Chapter 751 194 Titanium Is in Trouble

Chapter 751 194. Titanium is in trouble

Titanium.

How could Hades forget about this?

Perhaps it was because the other things he faced on weekdays were more urgent, and Hades, who was busy and had no time to touch the ground, rarely thought of this race - after all, titanium was far from threatening the empire.

Compared with Neos, the gambling king who bet everything, compared with Mortarion, the leader of the heretics in another line, and compared with Robert Guilliman, who was beside Hades and exuded "I see you want to work overtime" all the time, titanium? It's really the edge of titanium.

The edge is so extreme that Hades will not think of it at all.

But now, looking at the battle report handed over by the Raven Guard, Hades suddenly remembered this race that was full of slots in the original plot.

In the previous life, as a player, Hades, who was a plague pig party, didn't like titanium very much, even though in a certain version, titanium was amazingly strong.

In short, the evil GW slapped his head one day and decided to create a kinder and more high-tech one than the empire! More dystopian! More race-friendly! More futuristic! A race with a bunch of mechas that don't look like the ones in the Warhammer world at first glance!

So these blue-skinned fishmen appeared.

By the way, when GW created this race, it also stitched a lot of existing cultures on Earth. Just like the White Scars are space Mongolians, these blue-skinned Tau have extremely strong East Asian culture - especially the foot basin chicken.

If that was all, Hades wouldn't frown at this race. The problem is, in the subsequent plot about Tau - guess who was used to pad Tau like crazy?

That's right! It's the Human Empire!

But if these stories were written logically and in line with common sense, then Hades would still just be indifferent to this race, instead of frowning after seeing Tau.

The most outrageous war between the Empire and Tau was the Damocles Expedition between the Raven Guard and the Tau. The Empire first appeared an extremely nb character - the Raven Guard's founding regiment commander Sevix.

Then he was pad.

In the stealth duel between the Raven Guard, who was the best at stealth, and Shadowsun, a Tau, Sevix did not realize that the Tau he killed was just a puppet.

The next moment, the Raven Guard, who had exposed his position, was directly cut in half by Shadowsun, ending his life.

...

If you insist on explaining, then this failure can probably be explained as the self-capsulation of the Raven Guard - but in addition, in a series of stories about the Tau, the human empire contributed some extremely abstract fighting methods.

Another thing that made Hades speechless was that every time the Empire was about to penetrate into the Tau territory and sweep away the Tau, the Empire would suddenly shift its strategic goals, leaving the beaten Tau to continue to develop "hopefully".

If you kill, you should cut the grass and root it out!

Hades shouted in his heart with great pain.

According to GW's description, although this race is not a big concern for the Empire now, their extremely terrifying development speed... Shadows coated Hades' eyes, and he thought it was more appropriate to cut the grass and root it out at once.

Compared with the human empire, the new race of the Tau can almost be called the "silly and innocent" in the Warhammer universe.

First, in the description of GW, the Tau are born with weak psychic power, so the technology they create is rarely contaminated by the subspace, so the Tau pointed out an extremely high-tech route in a very short time - finger-driving Gundam (×).

Secondly, the development of the Tau exploded because a guy who called himself "Ether" ruled the different individuals of the Tau:

The Fire Clan who is good at fighting, the Water Clan who is good at diplomacy, the Earth Clan who is good at construction, and the Air Clan who is good at flying.

Among them, the Ether has undoubtedly become the ruling class of the Tau and the unshakable leader.

The "Greater Good" advocated by the Ether has become the core culture of the unified Tau. Under the advocacy of the Greater Good, the Tau rarely fight among themselves. The Tau believe that which clan they belong to will bear the responsibilities and missions of that clan.

Because of the ideas of self-denial, selfless dedication, and world peace advocated by the "Greater Good", the Tau do not reject cooperation with other races. Completely different from the extremely racist Human Empire, the Tau will send the Water Clan, who are good at diplomacy, to establish cooperative relations with other races.

As long as you believe in the Greater Good and are willing to submit to the Tau Empire, the Tau will send people to build the surrendered planet - naturally it will not be "built" like the so-called "construction" of the Imperial Mechanicus, which means building a good planet into a hive city.

In the story of the Tau, after a human hive planet surrendered to the Tau, the Tau actually helped the locals restore the ecosystem outside the hive, and then moved out the overly dense population of the hive - this method is obviously more humane than the Empire.

But Hades knew that this was just an ignorant act of the new race after it was not beaten.

This is why the Tau is so out of place in this fucked up world. Before touching on the conspiracy theory of the so-called "ether" of the Tau, this race is full of new vitality and fragrance in an environment where everyone is rotten.

This race is too young, so young that they have not yet seen the truth of the universe;

They are too lucky, so lucky that it has nurtured their almost arrogant kindness;

They have not witnessed the death of their race, and still retain a cruelty that is so naive that it is almost wasteful.

When humans look at the Tau, they are like the tortured old hunters in the dark forest who are desperate for survival, or they look at the children who are making fire and singing in the forest.

Hades rubbed his chin, and Mortarion glanced at Hades. Hades was obviously thinking deeply.

When Pluto is thinking deeply, his control over the Black Realm will be slightly less. Visible to the naked eye, darkness envelopes Hades. In the shadow, one of the empire's largest decision-makers is deep in thought.

The original body blinked, and he also pulled out the document that Conrad had brought over, a description of the Tau, their fighting methods, social model... Poisonous gas spewed out from the death gas mask.

Mortarion then jumped right to his conclusion.

He was unhappy with this race.

Conrad seemed to know that Mortarion would think so. Conrad, who was huddled in a dark corner, laughed sinisterly and looked at Mortarion with a suggestive look.

The God of Death regarded Conrad as dead, and Mortarion ignored Conrad. He turned to the next page and began to calculate how many troops the empire would need to eradicate this race.

Although Hades obviously knows more, maybe Hades may even say something like "don't kill them all" later, but Mortarion is also calculating this matter, what if it is used?

The matter of titanium is really useless, whether it is a big deal or a small matter.

Hades thought, but the Tau must not continue to allow their development. The technological development of this race is too fast.

In Hades's view, it would be more in line with the interests of the empire to take away the Tau's technology and then quickly annihilate the Tau.

Hades had no intention of being merciful, the Eldar were all extinct, so why did he keep those blue-skinned fish?

Hades subconsciously reached for a cookie on the desk and stuffed it into his mouth.

Mortarion glanced at Hades secretly again - unlike the God of Death who likes to use poison gas to exterminate an entire race, Hades is not actually a fan of genocide.

Pluto will make the following judgments on most aliens in his path:

Food with a good taste is used in recipes, and food with a bad taste is used as feed.

Perhaps there is a more efficient way to deal with these aliens than these judgments, but since it was decided by Pluto himself, no one would question him.

In addition, Pluto will exterminate alien races that are too human-like.

Just in time, Hades thought, and an idea slowly emerged in his mind, taking advantage of the fact that Terra has nothing to do now - throw these original bodies who were almost crazy with official documents and sent them out to attack the titanium, and directly annihilate the titanium in one fell swoop. .

By the way, you can also support Corax's legion and collect Titanium technology, killing three birds with one stone.

Think of it as a vacation for Mortarion and the others, except for the ineffective duel with Guilliman. The God of Death has not set foot on the battlefield for a long time.

Hades thought, and after he finished thinking, he raised his eyes and stared at the originals who were immersed in the office and reading Tau documents.

Hades coughed. The next moment, everyone looked at him, and Hades spoke,

"I knew about this race before - the Adeptus Mechanicus once reported it to me, saying it had an astonishing development speed. However, because the scale of this race being discovered at that time was too small and the geographical location was too remote, I did not pay attention to it."

Hades explained,

"Looking at it now, I didn't expect this race to develop so fast - and, Corax, I need to remind you that the technology of the Tau is very weird. I personally think that some of their detection devices are very restrained in the talents of your descendants. ”

Corax showed a slightly shocked expression, but Raven didn't say anything. He was obviously thinking too.

[The development speed of this race is indeed a bit strange. 】

This time it was Robert Guilliman's words. The Lord of the Empire was studying the information carefully, his brows furrowed, and his other hand uneasily wiped the sticky marks Conrad had left on his neck.

Mortarion had already dealt with Konrad, and there was no need for Guilliman to take action again. Moreover, Guilliman read a hint of brotherly care in Konrad's actions just now - so Guilliman decided to let this go. thing.

After all, Conrad was shouting for Corax, and Guilliman was friends with Corax.

Due to work reasons, Guilliman has not been able to play holographic simulations with Corax for a long time.

【...This is the first time I have seen such an idealistic race,】

Robert said slowly, in fact, he was even more naive than he was at first,

[But I think the premise of all this is that the Tau tribe is still in the expansion period, and they have not yet reached the sluggish period of resource scarcity and technological stagnation. At the same time-]

Guilliman blinked, a special High Gothic "ether" reflected in his blue eyes.

[Unlike the higher goodness they preach, this racial class is clearly divided, and Ether is the pure leadership class——]

Guilliman turned another page and looked at the autopsy report of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

[Aether seems to use some kind of pheromone to control other clans? I have carefully read the brain hormones and thinking methods of this race. I think that its internal structure is not enough to support their high degree of loyalty and cohesion. The Tau are a weak psionic race, so there can only be external interference, such as Only through hormone injection and mental cultivation can we maintain such a high degree of cohesion. 】

As expected of the Lord of Mankind, Robert Guilliman, on how to better rule this road, perhaps Guilliman has gone further than they imagined.

But even if he went far, this king who would still be angry because of Mortarion's provocation would not use some of these methods. He knew that it was only to better prevent these things - except for Vulcan, Guilliman might be the most humanitarian among them.

[So what are your suggestions? ]

Conrad Curze heard the meaning behind the words of the Lord of the Empire and Hades, which made him excited. There was a chance. Conrad licked the corner of his mouth and swaggered out from the shadow in the corner.

There were spider-web-like cracks in the corner, which seemed to be the traces left by Mortarion throwing Conrad against the wall just now.

Guilliman looked up at Hades, and Hades nodded. The tacit understanding between them fighting on the desk and in the workplace for many months immediately made Guilliman understand what Hades meant.

Mortarion crossed his arms and sneered.

[Send troops. 】

The Lord of the Empire said,

[While the Empire still has the strength to spare, this new race should be directly wiped out, leaving them no room for development. 】

Guilliman then looked at Corax, and he smiled apologetically, as if he was sorry for not noticing his best friend's irritability.

[Corax, will you allow the Empire to send more troops to intervene in the Raven's battlefield this time? 】

Corax also smiled. He himself had read a lot of literature about the Titanium. The main forces of the Empire to fight against the Titanium before were the White Scars and the Dark Ravens, both of which were guerrilla-oriented.

But Corax believed that fighting against the Titanium required a frontal pressure-resistant army to crush them with real strength.

[That's what I meant. 】

Corax said, and then the Raven blinked his pure black eyes, and he almost subconsciously looked at Mortarion who was watching coldly with his arms folded.

As the Lord of the Empire, Guilliman's legions need to be stationed mainly near important star regions such as Terra, while the current situation of Dorn and the Imperial Fists is unknown. Therefore, the only force in the Empire that can withstand the ultimate pressure on the front battlefield is the Death Guard.

This is also the only legion with more flexible dispatch. Strictly speaking, as long as the dispatch approval of the Death Guard Legion Commander Karas Typhon is passed, the Death Guard can go out.

"Motarion?"

In the midst of everyone's expectations, Hades suddenly spoke, and Mortarion immediately raised his eyebrows and slowly put down his arms.

"Don't you want to play? Large-scale extinction war, I think you will like it."

[Are you going? 】

Hades was silent for a moment,

"I will arrive in the middle and late stages of the war. I have to stay on Terra until the first phase of the genetic modification plan is completed - then I will lead the Mechanicus to kill directly, finish the job and collect technology by the way."

Hearing Hades' promise, Mortarion nodded, and the Primarch was obviously very satisfied - in fact, not letting Mortarion sit in the office was enough to make the Primarch happy.

[I want to go too. ]

Conrad suddenly said, he suddenly jumped to Corax's side, pressed Corax's shoulders with both hands, and let Raven sit steadily in the office chair.

[Our brother's moral cultivation is too high, ]

Conrad hissed, he laughed, and almost wrinkled his face into a hideous mask,

[And we have to face a "kind" race, Corax... ]

Conrad gently put his dirty hand on Corax's neck,

[Let us do the dirty work, you only need to be responsible for reuniting with the cubs you haven't seen for a long time. 】

【Wait, "we"? 】

Guilliman suddenly spoke, he turned his head and saw Mortarion behind him, squinting his eyes, as if he had imagined some scenes and had begun to smile.

Conrad also turned his head at this moment, through Corax and Guilliman, the two not-so-good people saw the reflection in each other's pupils,

【Panic and piles of corpses. 】

Conrad said softly,

【Poison gas and disease. 】

Motarion also laughed. In fact, even if the legions had different positions, as early as ten thousand years ago, the two primarchs knew that their views on war were obviously in common.

After ten thousand years of hatred and loyalty, cursing and fighting, on this rare holiday, in front of the race that made the primarchs extremely unhappy, they reached their first unity.

【They still see too little,】

Conrad said like a chant, licking his sharp nails, darkness swayed from behind him, instantly enveloped the office, and malice overflowed from his shadow.

【Now,】

【It's time to let them see the malice of the universe. 】

Mortarion and Konrad said in unison that they were not good people, in fact, they were all extremely evil.

The Tau, a lucky race, did not know what they were about to face.

Their good luck ended here.
