Chapter 146 146, Dukel: Teach the Young Tau a Lesson!

"Commander, are you sure you want to give such an order?"

At this moment, the Tau fleet was only tens of millions of kilometers away from Duker's frigate. In space battles, this distance is close at hand.

When the Tau weapons systems locked the frigates one after another, the adjutant confirmed with Commander Shadow Sun again.

"Confirmed." Shadow Sun looked at the star map with a firm gaze.

In the illusion of the future, Shadow Sun saw the scene of the second Primarch of the Empire destroying the Tau Empire.

But the dark ally who told her the truth only asked her to lure the Primarch to the coordinate point.

Now, she seized the rare opportunity, and the Primarch who would destroy the Tau in the future broke away from the legion of the human empire. He appeared here with only a frigate and appeared in front of her.

There were two choices before Shadow Sun,

First, follow the advice of the dark ally and attract the Primarch to the coordinate point.

Second, take this opportunity to completely eliminate the murderer who would destroy the Tau Empire in the future.

Shadow Sun chose the latter without much hesitation.

This may not be a wrong option. No race can allow the murderer who will destroy them in the future to survive in the world.

"Only by completely killing the second Primarch of the Empire can we save the Tau Empire and my compatriots."

Ying Yang thought silently in his heart.

"We will win."

She said to the obviously uneasy Fire Clan adjutant.

.

On the bridge of the Sword-class frigate, Duker was unaware of the approach of the Tau.

After snatching a large number of treasures, the Primarch at this moment was experimenting with his latest abilities.

Red flames burned from his whole body.

Duker witnessed the occurrence of these flames, and there was a little bit of disbelief in his eyes-just because when these flames burned, he did not communicate with the subspace, nor did he use any psychic power.

Compared to psychic flames, these flames are more real and more in line with the laws of the physical universe.

These flames are no different from the flames in the material universe.

This is the power of the Star God Fragment Burner. After the life magnetic field reached 250,000 horses, he seemed to have an almost instinctive hunger for the Star God Fragment.

In his intuitive perception, it seemed that if he wanted to break through the constraints of the physical universe, the power of the Star God was indispensable.

But just when he tried to use these flames.

Suddenly, he saw thousands of lights in the deep space on the side of the frigate, lighting up at the same time.

"This is."

As he watched the star-like dense light hit his ship, his expression gradually became cold.

Encountering enemy attacks on the way back was indeed beyond his expectations.

The huge void shield was instantly propped up, and it was about to fall under the attack like a rainstorm, until a touch of vital energy lit up, and the frigate's shield stabilized again.

Duke looked at Aisha in surprise.

As the goddess of life of the Eldar, the other party did not seem to be struggling to block these attacks.

He was surprised that the other party would take the initiative to help.

"Your Highness, the Auspicious Observer discovered a large-scale Tau fleet." A voice was heard in the communication channel at this moment.

"Conservatively estimated, the number of the enemy's ships is more than 4,000."

When hearing this number, everyone in the voice stopped breathing for a moment.

"Your Highness, should we retreat strategically?"

Gris immediately looked at the Primarch and suggested carefully.

The number of enemies exceeded 4,000, and we only had a pitiful Sword-class frigate. With such a huge gap, how should they fight the enemy?

As the highest-level great sage of the Mechanicus, Gris actually didn't think much of the young race of the Tau Empire.

If it were normal times, this great mechanical sage might still think about fighting with the other side, but the current situation is very special.

This frigate stores a large number of treasures from the Endless Museum.

Gris is not worried about their lives.

What really worries him is these treasures.

"Don't worry, I have a perfect battle plan." Compared with Gris, Dukel is full of fighting spirit, and his bright eyes are full of confidence.

As the Great Sage who followed the Primarch at the beginning of the expedition, Gris had a bad feeling after hearing this.

"What is your plan, Your Highness?"

"First, you stay here and ensure the safety of the frigate." Dukel commanded, "Then, I will board the alien ship with the Doom Soldier and engage them."

After the Primarch finished speaking, Gris waited for ten seconds, but did not wait for the rest of the words.

So he asked, "What then?"

"Then?" Dukel looked at the Great Sage strangely, "I have already boarded, what else can these aliens do?"

"Okay, let's take action!" Dukel roared, igniting the fighting spirit in everyone's chest like a flame, inspiring people,

"My descendants, follow me to fight. We must fall into the enemy camp like gods and teach these young aliens a good lesson!"

As he spoke, he took the lead in taking steps.

.

"Bang bang bang"

The steel body in armor stepped on the metal floor of the frigate, making a heavy sound.

Duker led twenty-two Destroyers, walking in the passage to the landing craft. After they were wearing power armor - against the background of the average body size of more than three meters, this passage, which was enough for three mortals to walk side by side, seemed extremely narrow. , only one Doom Slayer can be allowed to pass.

At the front of this giant team, Dukel, who was about five meters tall, almost blocked the entire passage.

This figure, which was three times taller than a mortal man, caused the servants along the way to quickly hide in the drainage ditches nearby. They witnessed the demigod's troops passing by them, saluting from the bottom of their hearts, with fanatical admiration in their eyes.

The Empire's great god of war is once again on the march, and any enemy will be destroyed, mortals have no doubt of this.

The original body and his descendants quickly arrived at the entrance of the landing craft with strong steps.

The entrance, less than three meters long, was too low for the original body, and he had to lean down to enter. Even the Doom Slayers had to bend down to pass.

"When the Adeptus Mechanicus built the landing ship, they didn't consider the experience of using the original body at all." Duker complained.

"Father, there are more than ten landing craft specially made for you on the Inner Fire." The Destroyer on the side explained, "But you have never used it once. In the past wars, you always directly rammed the ship with it. In the past, there was another time I took a ride on the Macro Cannon.”

"Talk too much!" Duker glared at him.

When all the soldiers secured themselves in their seats, the frigate's metal hatch opened and the landing ship was released.

Through the glass of the landing craft, the true appearance of the stars was revealed in front of the original body. The gorgeous and beautiful starlight, the meteorite belt flowing like a river, or the endless, eternal and deep void.

The starry sky continues to have magic power since ancient times, and the beautiful scenery it reveals is enough to dazzle and yearn for any human being, making them ignore the hidden dangers.

But Duker had no time to savor these beautiful and spectacular scenery at the moment. He stared at a Tau cruiser.

It was a ship with a visual length of about ten kilometers. The metal shell reflected the arc light of the stars, and it was equipped with a dense firepower system.

It is one of the main ships in the Tau fleet.

Duker marked the cruiser's coordinates and issued the order to attack.

The landing ship suddenly accelerated, and the space jump device inside it was activated instantly. After passing through the bizarre subspace passage, this huge cruiser was already close at hand.

Hundreds of drones were ejected from the landing craft. After intercepting the firepower attacking the landing craft, these mechanical creations

They all pounced on the cruiser's shield.

The huge energy shield of the Tau warship was suddenly breached.

The light of the melt weapon shone brightly, and after feeling a violent shaking, the original body

"Boom!——"

Amidst the violent collision, the landing craft smoothly entered the interior of the Tau cruiser along the channel melted by the melta weapon.

Thick smoke rolled up, filling the narrow metal passage like a gray mist.

"Alert alert—"

"Discover the intruder and execute the expulsion order."

The Tau's AI omnic guards were the first to discover the invasion of the landing craft, and then the sound of rapid and complicated footsteps sounded, and a team of hundreds of people stationed nearby also quickly arrived.

Together with the AI ​​omnics, they formed a powerful firepower position.

After seeing the thick fog composed of dust, he pulled the trigger in his hand without any hesitation.

The firepower system of AI omnics, the flames of bolt guns, and the hum of laser weapons. The hail of bullets formed by these together is like an airtight net, capable of destroying everything caught in it.

But amidst such intensive firepower, the heavy and powerful footsteps in the thick fog still sounded.

In the thermal imaging goggles of the Tau soldiers, a group of huge humanoid creatures were rapidly approaching them, carrying a network of firepower.

In just a few seconds, they no longer need the help of eyepieces.

Because even the naked eye could see clearly that a giant figure who was more than three times their height slowly revealed his true appearance in the thick fog.

When they saw the giant in heavy armor clearly, they saw the cape billowing like a sea of ​​blood behind the giant.

It was also in their panicked eyes that they saw the giant raising a huge double-barreled cannon that was nearly two meters long in his hand.

Duker pushed forward despite the hail of bullets, standing as still as a boulder in the storm.

"Tau, the young race in the galaxy, so young, so energetic, but also so stupid."

At this moment, in the eyes of the Tau soldiers, the smile on the corner of Dukel's mouth was as ferocious as a demon.

The next second, the primarch showed a swiftness that belied his size. In the hail of bullets, a Tau soldier who was still pulling the trigger had his head pinched by a huge metal glove without even seeing the other person's movements clearly.

With a slight exertion of the original body's palm, the soldier's skull exploded instantly, and the plasma merged with the hard helmet fragments, making them indistinguishable from each other.

Duker threw the body in his hand forward.

boom!

The soldier's corpse turned into a cannonball at this moment, knocking over a dozen Tau warriors in one breath.

"Thank me, I will teach you a lesson for free, provided that you can survive my class."

Dukel laughed and pointed the muzzle of the huge deep muzzle at them.

He was holding a double-barreled shotgun. In such a narrow passage, he didn't even need to deliberately aim.

He twisted the knob on the barrel, the telepathic sensor was activated instantly, and the gun was connected to the Yakin energy device.

Ding! ——

After hearing the beep that appeared directly in his mind, Dukel pulled the trigger without hesitation.

boom! ——

The barrel of this special shotgun exploded with a roar like a giant cannon.

The huge recoil even shook the original body's demigod body, causing his whole body to tremble slightly.

At this moment, the cries of millions of souls seemed to be vaguely heard from the Yajin energy backpack. Huge energy fireballs shot out in a fan shape, and the red flames occupied the entire space of the passage, advancing arrogantly.

The Tau soldiers witnessed all this happening in fear. The red flames that filled the passage were like a giant dragon, opening its bloody mouth to devour them.

This fear only existed for a moment, and the next moment, flames filled their vision and engulfed them whole.

When the fire light dissipated, the metal channel in front showed a red color that was on the verge of melting. The charred corpses of hundreds of Tau soldiers still maintained their movements in life. From their faces where the water had evaporated, it was vaguely possible to see what they had done in life. fear.

Taking the area where Duker's steel boots stepped as the boundary, all the passages ahead turned into red lotus purgatory.

The Primarch waved his hand.

He had the highest tacit understanding with the Doom Slayers. Without any need to speak, these Primaris Space Marines dispersed. They acted individually and advanced towards the depths of the cruiser.

Space Marines acting alone will lose coordination at the tactical level and actively disperse their formations. This is not a wise decision in any war.

But considering that the other party is a titanium tribe,

Accompanying the actions of the Doomsday Slayers, brief gunshots and sharp screams were heard from all over the battleship.

The arrogance of war and the shadow of panic are spreading on this ship at an extremely fast speed.

"Come on, fight me until you die!"

Dukel, who was also in the battle, crushed the omni-mechanical armor with one kick. His fighting spirit surged, and his eyes became brighter.

When the Tau commander discovered what the Second Legion was doing in the cruiser.

When Shadowsun saw the Primarch slaughtering Tau soldiers in a cruiser through a holographic projection.

Yingyang was shocked.

She considered the actions the Primarch might have taken, the way the other side might have retreated, the way it might have sued for peace.

But what he didn't expect was that the original body, with only one frigate, not only refused to escape, but even dared to launch a fierce counterattack, which was the most dangerous gang-hopping fight!

It was our more than 4,000 ships that surrounded your frigate, not your frigate that surrounded us!

"What on earth is the human Primarch thinking?!" Yingyang looked at the figure of the Primarch in the holographic image, lowered her head and pondered. As the commander-in-chief, she was thinking from the other person's perspective.

"He actually dared to join the gang."

The Tau commander's eyes were full of calmness. As a commander, she had fought against the Human Empire several times and knew the horror of the Empire's tactics.

And the original body is the original body known as the demigod of war in the empire. No matter how arrogant she is, she does not think that this will be a stupid opponent.

With a Tau fleet numbering over four thousand, Shadowsun was confident that he could sink the frigate and surround the Primarch here.

but

After she analyzed the Primarch's actions, she came to a conclusion.

"The purpose of the Imperial Primarch's risking his own life should be to delay us. The Empire has always regarded us Tau as a formidable enemy. If we can keep our fleet here, it must be a strategy worth the risk for the Primarch. "Yingyang said calmly,

"If I were Dukel, I might make the same decision when facing the Tau, the most serious enemy of the human empire. If my guess is correct, then the empire's legion should not be far from here."

Look at the current actions of the Imperial Primarchs.

He looks like the worst actor ever.

If the other party only acted with the idea of ​​encounter, how could they rush in so recklessly?

Didn't that give the Tau fleet a chance to besiege him?

As the God of War of the Imperium of Man, all of the Primarch's actions must be carefully considered.

even

Guessing flashed through Yingyang's mind, maybe the other party also had the ability to predict the future and had long anticipated the incoming Tau Empire fleet.

Under the fierce counterattack of the original body, the Tau commander, who was confused about the truth and reality, had begun to reflect on his previous eagerness to kill the original body.

She began to analyze the other party's purpose more calmly.

With the structure and ambition of the God of War, the opponent will definitely not limit his vision to an accidental encounter - then using himself as a bait to buy time for the Imperial Legion and completely eradicate the Tau tribe is the best solution.

Yingyang didn't think about it at all at this moment. The original body rushed over directly, really thinking that he could defeat them.

She led her fleet deep into Imperial territory to assassinate the Primarch, an extremely dangerous move. It is possible to encounter the siege of the Imperial Legion at any time, and even at this moment, the large army of the original body has gathered not far from itself.

No! This should be absolutely true!

Otherwise the Imperial Primarch would not have been so bold.

Yingyang could see clearly that although the fleet's auspicious device had not yet captured the signal of the nearby fleet, the original body's own fighting spirit had already fully revealed this strategic intention.

It takes a long time to besiege a Primarch.

If I were to be greedy and reckless again and besiege the Primarch, it would inevitably give the Imperial Legion an opportunity to besiege my fleet.

And according to the intelligence Shadowsun got, there is more than one Primarch of the Human Empire, and perhaps the legions of other Primarchs are on the way. Even the Imperial Regent Guilliman may come to rescue his brother in person.

"Cunning human." Shadowsun's face was gloomy, "almost stepped into the trap of the Empire."

"Haha, Dukel, the God of War of the Human Empire, I have seen through your strategy. I admire you very much for formulating the best counter-strategy and even finding the opportunity to completely eliminate the major troubles for the Empire."

Shadowsun's face was cold, and after thinking through all this, she even felt a chill on her back.

Fortunately, she, who believed in the Greater Good, was restrained enough, otherwise she would definitely step into the conspiracy of the Empire and ruin the main fleet of the Tau Empire.

"It seems that this operation will have to retreat temporarily." She murmured to herself.

Although she was somewhat unwilling, as a commander, she had to remain rational and correct her mistakes in time.

At the same time,

Duker broke into the main control room with great momentum.

The broken bodies of the Tau soldiers and the captain fell on the metal floor, announcing that the cruiser had been completely occupied by the Empire.

The Doomsday Warriors also came to the control panel at this time. As beings far beyond mortals, it was not difficult for them to control the ship.

But at this moment, the communicator on the Tau control panel suddenly lit up, and the holographic projection unfolded in front of the Primarch.

"Lord of the Empire's Legion, your strategic intention has been exposed." Yingyang looked directly into the Primarch's eyes without hesitation, "I appeared to tell you that the warriors of the Tau Empire are enemies you have never encountered. We are wise and powerful, and we will never step into the trap you carefully designed like your former enemies."

"?"

Looking at the blue female face in the holographic projection, he was confused, "Who are you?"

Strategic intention?

This time the archaeological team did not even bring a think tank. Has anyone formulated such a thing?

What is my strategic intention?

Rush forward and kill the alien?

But Yingyang directly turned off the holographic projection and disconnected the communication.

The commander ordered the Fire Clan adjutant beside her.

"Send a part of the alien legion to intercept the Imperial Primarch, and then we retreat!"

Yingyang's eyes were cold. Since the Imperial Legion could appear on the battlefield at any time, it would be too late to deal with the Primarch first and then retreat.

The best solution at this time was to give up part of the military force, destroy the Primarch's strategic intention to delay time, and buy time for the large legion to retreat.

Anyway, the alien legion, which the Empire jokingly called the "Titanium Alliance Army", was just some conquered alien slave legions in the eyes of the Titanium Clan, and they did not feel sorry for sacrificing them.
