Chapter 759 202. Rabbit Fights Lion
Conrad stretched out his hand comfortably, he felt the shadow attached to his lightning claws, giving him strength and darkness.
The cabin was shaking violently and was about to land. Under Mortarion's monotonous and boring orders, Conrad pulled off the external communication system. He hung this small part on his fingertips and let it be torn off by the shaking.
[...I suggest you take it with you, otherwise Mortarion will be troubled. ]
Corax's voice came from the shadows. Perhaps the Emperor also acquiesced to let his brother, who was somewhat similar to him, keep an eye on Conrad. In some kind of subspace, the domains of the Lord of Shadows and the Lord of Night overlapped - this means that both of them can find each other quickly.
[No. 】
Conrad said firmly, he licked his cracked lips, Sevatar did not come, the kid behind him was Sevatar looking for him, what surprised Conrad was——
The kid's face was so similar to the boy he killed on his home planet ten thousand years ago.
Forget it, let these confusions go with the wind.
Conrad did not remember the name of his kid, except for Sai and Shang, the other new generations were almost the same, the original body would only stay wherever he wanted to stay, watching these kids conscientiously offer him wealth, glory and justice.
But now that Sevatar is not here, Conrad needs a code name, he slapped his head and decided to call this kid "kid".
Perhaps Conrad's silence was a little too abnormal, on the other end, Corax spoke again, hesitantly,
[Anyway, thank you for your persuasion, Conrad. 】
【I think I'm not as fussy as Angron,】
Conrad waved his hand back and asked the kid to come over. The Primarch then began to observe the equipment the kid brought, which would make it convenient for him to borrow the kid's weapons later.
The other end chuckled,
【Angron will not be happy to hear you say that... I think it's best for us not to provoke Angron. Sometimes I always have a feeling that I would rather make Guilliman angry than to annoy Angron. 】
【That black-hearted guy...】
Conrad answered casually. He pulled off the kid's equipment. To the Primarch's surprise, it turned out to be a Gauss-style pistol. The Primarch patted the butt of the gun - where did he get it from?
Or - ah! He remembered that Hades seemed to be promoting the modernization of weapons. He didn't expect that this trend would blow so quickly that even the Night Lords used it.
The one who really can't be annoyed is Hades. That guy who smiles all the time actually caused one of their former brothers to cancel his account, although he deserved it.
If you have a gun in your hand, you want to use it. Conrad raised his gun and casually aimed at a box of goods in the cabin. The kid beside him waved his hand to stop him, saying something about the overall situation and concealment...
Okay, forget it.
In reality, Conrad Curze prefers Mortarion, who writes that he is not a human being. Compared with Hades, Conrad even likes Mortarion. Hades's sunshine is too dazzling, almost blinding Conrad.
But Hades is a master who must not be provoked. This is why Conrad will never take a step closer to Hades' office (unless the great Lord of the Night will help his friend!), not because of Hades' physique that makes him sick.
The real helmsman of this empire now is Hades.
Conrad's eyes flickered with light. The old him was still struggling in this body. He still wanted to judge everyone. Everyone was unjust, but Hades...
The Primarch looked at the modified gun in his hand again thoughtfully. Mortarion had shown Conrad those unmanned troops.
Hades was doing good things.
This is him! The reason why the great Lord of the Night agreed to let Hades continue to rule - of course, another reason was that he couldn't beat him.
[... Mortarion just came to me and asked why you lost contact. ]
[? ]
[I wanted to hide it for you, but Mortarion seemed a little angry. I explained it to him briefly, and finally he told you that this mission must be completed successfully, otherwise he would hang you up and skin you. ]
Corax swore that he had tried his best to be euphemistic in Mortarion's words.
The mission this time is to semi-paralyze or destroy the largest transportation hub in the Tau Empire. Under the construction of the Tau, this huge planet is surrounded by countless space stations and docking ports, and billions of troops and merchant ships are transported every day.
With the help of a man named Golden Sage under Mortarion, the Night Lords successfully infiltrated a merchant fleet transporting marine food - their target will be the planet on the planet, doing what the Night Lords are good at, spreading fear within the enemy.
The function of this world's transit station is mainly undertaken by the space station outside the planet, and the planet has been transformed by the Tau into a pleasant ecosystem. The residents living on it are all space station staff or their families.
The Night Lords are responsible for the work on the planet. When their work reaches the appropriate node and paralyzes the planetary defense system, the Raven Guard hidden in the nearby star field will take over the work of the star ring.
[Yes, I will. ]
Perhaps Conrad's voice was a little too lazy, so Corax had to raise his voice and once again emphasized their mission - to use two legions at once to capture this place, which was enough to illustrate the importance of this planet.
If the Tau army starting from the core area of the Tau Empire wants to reach the front line, they will inevitably stop here to replenish supplies.
【You just need to enjoy my performance. 】
Conrad said, and he patted the kid's shoulder armor. These words suddenly reminded Conrad of Fulgrim, with that tired face... I wonder if Phoenix is okay now.
In this great and dirty empire, even sinful people like Conrad have a place to stay. There is no need for Fulgrim to continue to suffer outside.
Curze thought of... Guilliman, the Emperor... No, as long as Fulgrim goes to Hades or Mortarion to intercede, they will provide him with shelter and food.
Who knew it would rise and fall like this in the first place? Conrad listened to his descendants walking around busily and anxiously to make sure that they passed the Tau scan. Although they had suffered for thousands of years, been crazy for thousands of years, and been decadent for thousands of years, it seemed that their lives were pretty good now?
At least Pluto is not a tyrant.
Fortunately, Hades' blood was thick at the time. Curze blew out a sigh. Another possibility made the hearts of the Lord of the Night tremble violently.
drop.
Unaware of Conrad's emotions, the little cub subconsciously relaxed for a moment - they passed the Tau scan and checked, and next, they will reach the ground unimpeded.
Killing, countdown begins.
……………………
"You just want to escape!!!"
Commander Yuan Yuan's angry roar almost penetrated the entire hexagonal hall. Ying Yang beside him turned sideways as if frightened, and looked sideways at Yuan Yuan in surprise.
Yuan Yuan slammed the table and stood up like an angry ant bull. Its sharp gaze passed across the faces of other participants, and finally fell on the ethereal holographic projection.
The ether had a long and smooth light blue face. The calm face did not show any reaction to the sudden surge of vision. It was just a look of compassion. There were six neat rubies stuck to its sniffing slit.
"You! You! And you!"
Yuan Yuan yelled and slammed the table again, which was almost extremely rude in the Tau Empire.
"Have you forgotten what you told me?! The enclave has been lost! It's all been lost!! We agreed to send out troops to gather at the border of the Tau Empire?! Why do you still want to run back?!"
The ships dispatched by the Human Empire this time were almost impossible things created by evil spirits in ghost stories. All fleets under Yuan Yuan's command were destroyed immediately.
Yuan Yuan clearly knew that it could never compete with the army of the Human Empire with its own strength, so it immediately contacted Yingyang. As a fellow disciple, Yingyang also quickly responded to Yuan Yuan and assisted Yuan Yuan as much as possible in the following days. Withdraw troops and civilians.
It was frustrating to say that while the human commanders focused their attention on the planets that were most difficult to capture, the fleets that had been prepared in the Farsight Enclave quickly set sail and returned to the Tau Empire through the remote star field.
It was the soldiers on those planets who sacrificed their lives to buy these civilians and troops precious opportunities to retreat. In these fleets, civilians and aliens accounted for as much as 85%.
But now, as the Imperium's war fronts continue to advance steadily, the civilians who have been evacuated and resettled on the worlds on the edge of the Tau Empire will soon face the flames of war once again.
"We have held them back as long as possible! We have also sent back the data from the battle without reservation! The living samples you wanted to poison, those soldiers were in so much pain - they forced themselves to bring them back! Instead of giving them A glorious sacrifice.”
Vision's voice became painful and struggling. It was not that it had never faced the human empire. It thought of the poisonous gas that obscured the sky. XV8-level combat uniforms would be corroded in that environment. According to feedback from the frontline soldiers, in high When the concentration of poisonous gas is high, the poisonous gas will appear in the respiratory system after three hours.
In another hour, the self-purification function of the combat suit will gradually fail.
Even Rao, the strongest Tau warrior, could not survive half an hour after his self-purification function completely failed.
But with the exception of the Tau, the aliens allied with the Tau were completely immune to the poisonous mist. At first, Vision was still pleased with this fact - this meant that it could still maintain its power in the poisonous mist. Combat-effective arms.
...But slowly, Yuan Yuan realized something was wrong.
Its eyes were looking at the representatives of the Kroot in the congress without trace. The Kroot were the largest alien race in the Tau Empire's army, and they were also the only alien race to enter the Tau Empire's decision-making council.
From the beginning of this meeting to the present, this smelly alien has maintained absolute silence, which is completely inconsistent with the reckless character of the Kroot people.
Vision gritted its teeth and looked at the ether projection provocatively, but now it no longer cared about this. Where do these ethers want to retreat to? !
And - this is not a retreat for victory! This is a ridiculous retreat! Yuan Yuan knows that it is impossible for all civilians on those abandoned planets to be evacuated in time!
Even if they are evacuated, where can these civilians go? !
"Retreat? You are giving up the lives of the citizens of the Tau Empire with your own hands! Why are you abandoning them?! They can obviously fight, and Shadow Sun cannot be transferred back! As long as Shadow Sun is with me, we can hold the battle line on the second line ——At least a month!”
Vision waved his finger and drew a line on the holographic star map of the Tau Empire. Aether silently looked at the star map, where the northwest direction had completely fallen, turning into the terrifying golden color of the Human Empire.
Aether crossed his fingers in a sane triangle gesture.
"I think the guard you are referring to has a prerequisite,"
Aether said calmly,
"Every nation is a soldier, isn't it, O. Shaw?"
Yingyang looked at Yuan Yuan, who suddenly flinched at Yuan Yuan's aura, but the titanium man in bright red combat uniform still stared fiercely at the ether in loose casual clothes.
"Yes, why, no, can?"
Yuan Yuan spoke word by word, but Aether just sighed,
"The resettlement of civilians from the enclave has caused us enough troubles - the Imperial Tau are confused to see an Earth caste in combat uniform, or a Fire caste who is devoted to diplomacy. This has a great impact on the stability of our society. It’s quite a challenge.”
"In a critical moment like this, I don't think we can focus our energy here."
Ether calmly replied that, in fact, what Farsight had seen was not far enough. The fixed class of the Tau was the "order" for the empire to function normally, which far exceeded the functions it seemed to carry. The Tau can choose to do whatever they want. For this empire, it is tantamount to "the collapse of rituals and the collapse of music".
What makes the Tau Empire different from other races is why they are so harmonious.
In addition to using laws to bind its citizens, it also uses the "Greater Good", which is a kind of "ritual" - and as the most significant and obvious social extension of "ritual", it is class.
If the class ceases, then the interior will immediately collapse, and the alien races allied with the Tau Empire will also leave instantly. This is a step that will extremely destroy the foundation. The Etherians will never take this strategy unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Then go and persuade!"
Yuan Yuan shouted,
"Why don't you go out to give speeches this time? You can give speeches from planet to planet - the titans believe in you! If you do this, in this special period, whether it is the Earth clan, the air clan or the water clan, they will You must also be willing to pick up a gun!”
It felt that its words were so futile. The ether just looked at the vision, and the vision felt that it had been seen through. In a period of silence, the ether spoke confidently,
"We can't go out."
It said firmly,
"According to intelligence, there are masters in toxicology among the troops dispatched by the Human Empire this time - the other party wants to capture a living ether. What do you think they want to do?"
Yuan Yuan choked suddenly and was speechless.
Virus war? Or something else?
In fact, it has never experienced such a cruel war. This time the human empire is so unreasonable, so cruel, so ruthless! That's poison gas - they just put it in! Completely disregarding the life and death of our own troops and civilians!
"But retreating is not a good idea."
Just when Yuan Yuan and Ether were in a stalemate, Ying Yang, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke. Yuan Yuan glanced at Ying Yang gratefully, but the commander did not look at it. Instead, he concentrated on staring at the star map.
"I think that for an enemy with this type of command, Monte Carlo may cause the enemy to be defeated quickly - but this is obviously unrealistic. As of now, we have not seen the enemy's top commander, and the large legions of Space Marines have also not been seen. Tricky enough.”
Montekar is a common tactic of the Tau, which refers to a sudden attack to decapitate the enemy's highest combat power, and then win the war.
This move is more effective against the greenskins and the Astra Militarum, but this time they are facing the organic Space Marines. There is absolutely no way that the Tau can break through the defenses of the Space Marines to behead them.
"So it can only be Kongyu."
Shadow Sun said solemnly, it felt great pressure and tension. In the past, the Tau used high-strength squads to cut and consume large Astra Militarum legions, and massed the Space Marine squads to death using human sea tactics.
But this time, they faced a massive Space Marine legion.
Compared with the Astra Militarum, the Space Marines' all-round crushing hexagonal shape almost made it impossible for Shadow Sun to find a breakthrough.
Kongyu is also a commonly used tactic among the Tau. It refers to luring the enemy deep, stepping into a trap, attracting the enemy to go deep alone, and then immediately using ambush troops to cut off the enemy's connection with the larger army, and then annihilate them.
"Kongyu?"
Aether over there repeated it, as if he didn't believe the words in Yingyang's mouth,
"Yes, in my opinion, if you want to get a chance of survival, the only way is Kongyu."
Yingyang gritted his teeth and said, it needs to be responsible for its next words, because it is related to the survival of the entire Tau Empire and the lives of billions of Titanium. This move is also a dangerous move, but they have no other choice!
The Human Empire is here to completely exterminate the Tau race this time! ! ! Are they going to surrender and pray that this empire that will throw poisonous gas on the battlefield will tolerate them? !
"But based on the size of both parties, Kong Yu only has one chance."
Yingyang said seriously,
"This time we have to overwhelm everything from the Tau Empire to barely be able to compete with the enemy's size."
"Not on the main star."
Aether immediately mentioned it, and Shadow Yang nodded. Although the main star would be an excellent bait for Kongyu, it cannot be the main star. The main star is located too far back. Too much would be lost, and the Tau Empire will not be able to do so after this war. There is a chance to develop again.
Then...
Yingyang stretched out his hand and tapped the flank of the Tau Empire, the largest hub planet.
"Use it."
Seeing that it was not the main planet, Ether nodded with satisfaction. Commander Shadowsun was the most combat-minded among them, and even Ether would agree with Shadowsun's policies as much as possible.
"But I have one condition. You should not care about the planets of the Tau Empire outside this planet."
Shadowsun said firmly. Opposite him, Ether looked at him meaningfully, and then looked at Vision, who had turned off the engine.
"Okay."
Ether said, and then he stood up lightly. After a burst of electric hissing, Ether's holographic projection disappeared.
At the same time, hundreds of containers filled with seafood and death arrived at the largest central hub planet of the Tau Empire.
