Chapter 765 208 Who Is Coming?
Chapter 765 208. Who is coming?
"The attack has begun."
Aether felt his mouth go dry for a while, and the gray-blue-skinned alien looked at the star map. At the largest node at the second line of defense, the golden color symbolizing the human empire was almost overwhelming.
"It's time to leave."
Another ether behind the ether received the message. In fact, the ether huddled in the core area was not doing nothing at all - until now, the foreign races that have allied with them have not broken their faces with the Tau, and the ethers also have a share of the credit.
The foolish allies were persuaded to send to the front line, while the cunning allies followed the ethers in their withdrawal.
Ether left the command room in a hurry. In the command room, only the central system was still directing operations according to the previous instructions. Walking through the sunny corridor, a tall Kroot man saluted the two ethers who passed by in a hurry.
"I hope we have the opportunity to meet in the future."
The rough voice of the Kroot was like rocks scratching across the earth. The profound meaning contained in it seemed to make the two Tau shudder, but there was no need to stay. The best opportunity to leave was fleeting. If they could not escape during this time, , the Human Empire fleet that will explore next will catch up with them.
"See you again if we are destined."
Ether said, and the words dissipated in the long corridor behind it. Rows of high-rise buildings cast silhouettes in the sun, such a prosperous and peaceful picture, but they are about to abandon them again.
Leave the rest to Yingyang.
They will wander again.
Until the day of liberation.
…………………………
The aftermath of the explosion has not yet dissipated. From the remains of the first defensive wall, billowing smoke rose, burning through the bone helmet, and rising toward the falling sky.
The bright white psychic arc disappeared, and the frost climbed up to the ground. A single person stood not far from the defensive wall. The supreme commander's white eyes penetrated the surrounding areas, his arms wrapped around the giant scythe, and his hands were slowly mixing potions.
Shake it three times, then let go.
Snap!
The crisp and soft sound was suffocated among the deafening bombings and engine explosions, but it was so hard to ignore, like the claws of a devil raising its hand, white mist suddenly rising, and bones breathing out!
Through the strange smoke, a pair of white eyes lit up, and the fog mode of the battle goggles was activated. The evil spirits hidden in the smoke were hungry and thirsty at the moment, and the Pale Lord was summoning his followers.
On the other side, beyond the towering Tau-enhanced version of the tidal wall in front of them——
The array of assault gunboats drew up plumes of smoke on the hills. The giant shoals of rays in the sky cast unsettling shadows on the hills. Schools of flying fish were gathering all over the sky. The support array composed of drones was like Locusts swarmed in.
Further on the skyline, a group of mechas as big as knights flashed across the horizon with the light of explosions. Among the gunboats and missile boats assisting them, the tall mechas were taking aim - just waiting for the army in the sky to send the coordinates. , letting their eyes penetrate the strange white mist.
On the tidal barrier, the turrets have already taken aim, among the drone swarms surrounding them, but they remain silent and refuse to attack - perhaps they are waiting for the moment when the target is exposed.
Facing almost all the Tau troops deployed, the team led by Mortarion was slightly outnumbered.
But the original body had nothing to say. Death just stood there calmly - and even seemed not to be afraid of the devastating missiles dropped from the opposite side.
【Let's have some fun. 】
Mortarion did not look back, but behind him, deafening bells and praise suddenly sounded.
[But I agreed to let them come first. 】
The horn of charge sounded, but it was far more intense and fanatical than the Death Guard. The scarlet-black flag hunted in the wind, and the thunder struck the ground as violently as the thunder from the sky. During the binary prayer, the Titan and Knight troops were deployed.
"For the Ohm Messiah! Praise to Hades!!!"
Ignoring the noisy voices of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the matter of long-range firepower... Mortarion thought lightly that he had some, and he didn't want to bring too many -
After all, the logistics force is too slow, but there is no way, Hades has built too many Titans and knights.
Under the feet of these behemoths, the long-range firepower such as the Manticore missile vehicle is not enough. Although Mortarion also brought a lot of missile vehicles, these are the selected modified versions of Hades. Look at the movement of the barrel mouth. The green light.
With the absolute airspace rights won by the Titans and Knights, Thunderhawks and Stormbirds emerged from the clouds and mist in the sky. The huge modified Valkyrie slowly followed the flock of birds, and the drones launched.
The Adeptus Mechanicus, who had been following the Death Guard legions and picking things up, finally stepped onto the battlefield. Although Mortarion had previously allowed them to play, the main force on the front battlefield would always be the Death Guard.
This is an excellent opportunity to train new recruits.
Mortarion understands this.
Then, Death raised his eyes again. He was sure that his poison gas had reached its destination. The poison gas coated with psychic energy easily passed through the energy defense wall of the Tidal Barrier, although he believed that the Tau had already developed improved defenses against his poison gas.
But it was all in vain. The only person in the galaxy who could compete with him, Mortarion, was the one who was making soup in the garden.
Death penetrated into the defense, put its withered hands on those mechas, and then the sound of corrosion hissed, like a pot of potion being boiled.
Mortarion lowered his eyes, seeming a little sad that his vacation was about to end. After the planet was captured, everything would fall into place.
Corax went to attack another military base on the ground, while Mortarion came directly to the military fortress where Shadowsun was located. According to observation, most of the troops on the surface of this planet gathered here.
He only needed to cut off Shadowsun's head, and then shut down the central intelligence of all the military bases on this planet through the blood of the aliens.
To the regret of the God of Death, the Tau people were not a race that produced high-powered individuals, although their firepower might indeed make the God of Death feel difficult - but the good news was that Hades had stuffed enough missiles and troops for this expedition.
Before this, Mortarion was still a little confused about the need to bring too many firepower troops. Facing a small alien country, this was obviously a bit extravagant, and now, Mortarion thought Hades was right.
Pluto was obviously right - otherwise who would be right, could it be the Emperor?
In front of the highly mobile and long-range firepowered Tau people, you'd better have a firepower support force that can compete with them.
[Then...]
Mortarion said lightly, the drones and drones in the sky had already engaged in battle. After a burst of green screams, the drones instantly opened a huge mouth.
Before this, Mortarion never left the battlefield. There was nothing on the battlefield worth him personally fighting. Usually, a Vorx was enough to kill through a battlefield directly.
The God of Death had been waiting patiently, waiting lazily, waiting for the Tau to send out their true battle masters.
Then, Mortarion realized that there was no such thing as the Tau.
He rarely felt a kind of annoyance of being fooled. The battle that the God of Death had been looking forward to for a long time was a pure competition of command-
It would be better to change Guilliman. Guilliman would be keen on sitting at the table and fiddling with chess pieces, while Mortarion preferred to use a sickle to tear open the enemy's throat personally.
At least let him fight a game? It can't be that after this battle, Mortarion's biggest activity is to fight Conrad.
What's more, the army they were facing had already been tortured by Conrad. What surprised the Primarch was that the main force of the Tau here was even less accurate than the defenders they had faced before.
But - but what's in front of you is the real main force of the enemy.
[Okay, okay - then I'll go first. ]
The skinny white bones said, and then the giant insect spread its wings and rushed into the back of the tidal barrier with an unstoppable momentum!
"Charge!"
Behind Mortarion, Vorx, who was far away, immediately issued a charge order. At the same time, the order was issued, and the sages enthusiastically and happily fired the praise artillery into the air, following their great pale lord! Titans, charge!
——————————
[? ]
Conrad screamed, and he made a hissing sound as if his lungs were blown out. He covered his bleeding abdomen with one hand and stared at the goddess of Tauwa in front of him with a puzzled look.
In stark contrast to the embarrassed Conrad, the Titanium Goddess was so majestic, with 108 weapons appearing between her thousand hands, and the hazy light blue halo on her face reflected her softness and strength.
The newly born goddess of the warp had obviously made sufficient preparations and necessary determination for this moment. Her two largest hands held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, ready for battle.
+ I warn you for the last time, aliens, leave this land, you are blaspheming it. +
【What the hell...】
Conrad said softly, as if talking to himself, the dirty Primarch seemed to be shocked subconsciously, like a beast wandering around its prey, Conrad looked at the Titanium Goddess.
+ Are you afraid, invader? Leave now, I can let you go. +
The Titanium Goddess swallowed her saliva. As an aggregation of the consciousness of many races, it still looked very much like the projection of its believers. It stepped barefoot on the smoke, with the tip of the sword pointing at the sinful beast.
【Strange, too weird. 】
After circling one and a third of a circle, Conrad got his answer. The Lord of Midnight screamed in a weird voice,
[Even Malcador has never been so weird. How do you look like? ! ]
The next moment, before the Titan Goddess could react! The black shadow jumped up, and the lightning claw pierced its throat! ! !
[Let me take a closer look at you! ]
Conrad laughed!
+? ! +
————————
Hold on, hold on, damn it, hold on.
Yingyang coughed and slid down from the command platform. It kept coughing. With the mecha damaged, the aftermath of the explosion and the poisonous gas eroded the already weak body of the Titan.
It looked up and saw that the Manta group that was enough to cover one-thirtieth of the planet's airspace was shot down by the Titan of the Terran God Warrior. The explosions like ball lightning exploded in the air again and again like firecrackers. After each flash of green light, the swarm of machine bee corpses fell from the sky like an overwhelming mass.
On the ground, the human lion-tailed scorpion's artillery roared as if it was free. Before the smoke had dispersed, the next missile split the tail flame of the previous missile. Why didn't their missile vehicle even overheat? !
In the battle of soldiers against soldiers, the long-range firepower that the Titanium people were always proud of was completely defeated. What made Yingyang even more desperate was that he could vaguely feel that the enemy's intelligent computing power was better than theirs.
If the long-range and the sky could not resist the enemy, what else could they do? !
Could it be relying on close combat? !
Shadowyang coughed, and the screen showed the Fire Caste core being strangled by the Death Guard. The tacit understanding between the enemy's melee troops and long-range firepower was no less than that of the Tau.
The Kroot have taken the opportunity to leave, and what's even more unfortunate is that in the military bases far away from Shadowsun, the situation is even less optimistic. Too many civilians slow down the efficiency there, and the military morale is unstable.
Although Yingyang has tried his best to unite them.
But in the face of the real cruelty in the galaxy, they still dodge in panic like newborn children.
Shadowyang could feel that the poisonous gas was becoming more intense. After a sudden moment, the Tau suddenly raised its head in a certain direction - it seemed to have heard the scream of the goddess Tau.
Wasn't that being killed too? !
This is completely ridiculous. An enemy soldier who was seriously injured in an ambush can even fight against a warp god? What exactly did the Human Empire send to deal with them? ? ?
Yingyang struggled to get up, and the poisonous gas eroded its body, but it still stood up with its strong willpower. It needed to hold on until the last moment, it didn't matter... everything was expendable, as long as it guarded the rear...
Its pupils suddenly blurred for a moment, and it heard the sound of footsteps. The giant insect was calmly and slowly probing its tentacles into the complex interior of the base one by one, as if it was looking for something.
It's looking for me.
Yingyang realized this with horror,
But this also means that the enemy's supreme leader has finally reached this trap.
Yingyang forced himself to swallow the fear. He turned back and looked at the command screen, where the program had been started and more ships sailed out from the ruins of the space station——
Shadow Sun finally decided to stake the victory on the fleet that the Human Empire easily destroyed in the first place. The arrogant humans would not realize how cruel Shadow Sun wanted to do, and they would ignore these small ships.
"For the Greater Good."
Shadow Sun thought softly, and at the same time, the Qi caste operator on the transport ship turned on the engine, so that they were close enough to the atmosphere and the ground - so they, loaded with destructive missiles, easily fell into the planet's embrace.
The whole planet is a trap.
A smaller force of better quality had already departed, and the main force of the Tau Empire would indeed end here, with an entire priceless planet as bait - but at the same time, they would exchange for the destruction of the enemy.
At the same time, all the self-destruction programs connected to the central system were activated, and all the bases under which the enemy troops were attacking had been hollowed out by the drone swarm and filled with bombs.
As long as this glimmer of hope is gained... Yingyang panted, the human empire, which loses more than it loses, will probably let go of the remaining Tau tribe. The charm of war is that the gain must be greater than the expenditure, otherwise the war will not be launched.
Yingyang is willing to give it a try.
Not only that, the goddess Titanium Watts promised it that this explosion would disrupt the subspace here, and Titania Watts would take the opportunity to form a subspace barrier to hinder the empire's continued penetration.
【Found it. 】
A hoarse and deep voice suddenly pulled Yingyang back to reality. The moment he saw the monster, Yingyang shrank back suddenly. It almost fell down immediately, but he managed to hold himself back from falling.
He looked disappointed.
Yingyang realized.
The pale man, who looked like a mixture of insects and humans, stood looking at it quietly, with the giant scythe hanging down in his hand. He didn't even think of raising the scythe immediately.
His shadow fell over Shadow Sun.
【……】
Under the huge pressure, Yingyang could no longer restrain his collapse and laughed.
"monster,"
It is outspoken but self-defeating,
"Cruel monsters - tell me how long have you walked to get to where you are today?"
【long time. 】
The bone-white devil said calmly, as if he was not worried about the next explosion - wasn't he panicked? ! Even if he could escape, his troops on the ground would not be able to escape!
"You, you are not afraid."
Yingyang swallowed, feeling that its life force was passing away rapidly. Its eyes were blurred, and it realized that the enemy was killing it in some strange way.
"Aren't you even afraid of the power to destroy the entire planet? Can you use that mysterious power to stop this?!"
Shadowyang roared in despair, but its voice was so weak and desperate. It was not afraid of death, but it was so sad that even its final self-destruction was so ridiculous in the eyes of its enemies.
【Afraid. 】
Mortarion said, seeming to give Shadowsun a respectful sideways glance.
Death then chuckled, his tone lighthearted.
[But guess who is coming. 】
The next moment, behind Yingyang, the huge command screen that was rapidly reporting the battle situation suddenly went black! After the rapid flow of garbled characters, countless overlapping and running pixelated three-headed dogs appeared on the command screen.
Yingyang stared at the command screen dumbfounded. The command screen here was directly connected to the center. Does this mean that the entire planet's intelligent center has been invaded? ! !
Drip, drip, drip——
The entire planet's countdown stopped. There was nothing to say. He came, and everything stopped.
Pluto casually pressed the pause button. In front of the Tau tribe, whose entire family relied on intelligence, for Hades, electronic intrusion into these technologies was as easy as breathing.
The sky was torn apart.
"I think I didn't teleport wrong this time?"
【No. 】
Mortarion said easily.
