Chapter 94 Shui’s Sacrifice
Alien and betrayal, humans have always used the same context to describe these two words. When the staff urgently asked the medics to treat the lieutenant colonel, the angry Skadi Fourth Regiment gradually began to counterattack.
Heavy rain fell on the ground, hindering the accuracy of those Tau fire weapons. Therefore, the Sentinel mecha flexibly moved through the bombing area, using armor-piercing shells to counterattack those damn Hammerhead Sharks, and the fierce missiles penetrated the front of those weapons.
But it is naturally impossible for the sentries to have enough firepower to kill the enemy. What really caused chaos in the east and west were the proud Catachan warriors of the Skadi Fourth Regiment.
They were armed with melta weapons, bolt shells or long-edged knives, and tortured the Tau elites like a massacre. Without a command, the Skadi Fourth Regiment relied on their strong personal tactical qualities to complete tacit cooperation. Of course, this did not It means that this legion does not need a command, but it does not need a command to have considerable combat effectiveness.
And the continuous rain is both cover and help...
Led by veteran sergeants, the soldiers of Skadi's 4th Regiment used squad tactics. Their flexible tactical style was completely different from when they had just dealt with the Genestealers. The intensive firepower was difficult to accurately hit the enemy in the ruins full of bunkers, and the Cady's 4th Regiment also has two Hammerheads and a Devil Ray. To be precise, it should be the 113th Falakxia Regiment.
Although they were outnumbered by the enemy, with the veterans' accurate point reports, Tau experienced for the first time the feeling of having his armored units eliminated one by one.
But today, calls from senior officials of the Water Clan are still coming from the empire's communicators, asking them to cease fire. There must be a misunderstanding here.
Whether it was Lieutenant Colonel Alan Bayer or the Fourth Skadi Regiment, they were finally disheartened by this group of aliens. Alan Bayer must have seen that something was wrong, but he went to the battlefield with such an easily controlled enemy. Might as well kill them now!
"Continue to suppress, after the second company, the third company will make a detour, and the first company will use the melt..."
Then the Water Caste heard the sound of the communicator being turned off and Alan Bair's final command. He sat there helplessly...
"It's over..." The alliance was broken, and Titanium's hope gradually dissipated, but he still understood that this operation must not fail.
The Water Caste stood up. His old and fragile body obviously could not support him in making any amazing moves on such a terrifying battlefield, but he still spoke to Catachan who was protecting him and the fire warriors who were following him here. .
"Fearless warriors, I am not a commander. I am physically fragile and have not experienced the way of war. However, I understand very well that in today's situation, no matter what clan we are, we must use all our strength to make things better."
"For the Greater Good, I once said that I would give everything I have. Now the Imperial Guard and the Fire Caste main company are at war due to unknown circumstances. I must stop them. Now please lend me a helping hand..."
"I ask you to cover me to the flank of the star port. I want to bypass the enemy's area and go to the battlefield where the Skadi 4th Regiment and the Fire Caste's main company do the Water Caste's job and coordinate!"
< br>
He knelt down on the ground in the clearing under the continuous rain, banging his head deeply, but the Fire Caste's warriors couldn't decide whether to leave here. Their commander had died due to the previous Genestealer's surprise attack, leaving the Water Caste to lead It is obviously not in line with the idea of all races and clans performing their own duties in the Greater Good Way, and in addition to him, tens of thousands of survivors in the ruins of this city are also stationed here with their help.
The tents and living people in the ruins still need their protection, and they cannot risk giving up the lives of tens of thousands of Tau clerks and residents for one person and seemingly uncertain possibilities...
But those protected people already have different views. The Fire Caste's toughness makes other Tau tribes who were also born in the Water Caste suffer. Why don't they want to pay for their own higher good? The resonance made them stand up. When no one cared about them, the Earth clan provided weapons and the Shui clan picked up firearms. They walked in the heavy rain, ready to help the hero who could lose everything for the Greater Good.
At this moment, the senior Water Caste official was just kowtowing continuously. The rough ground destroyed his skin, and the blood and rain of the Tau clan moistened the ground. Such perseverance and determination did not make the Fire Caste agree. He was neither a warrior nor a commander. , his ideas may make things worse...
As a member of the Skadi Fourth Regiment, Sergeant Catachan does not like being commanded by aliens. Because of their beliefs, the most powerful warriors in the world look at the weakest individuals in the world and scream and plead to them, but they Indifferent.
In this dark forty millennium, there is no so-called obligation of the strong to protect the weak. Their current choices are definitely not wrong. They only obey the orders given to them by beings more powerful than themselves and protect civilians.
But such a decision can hardly be described as right, and now a senior official of the Shui family who has never cried in his life, who once ignored the opposition to learn complex Gothic language and a staunch human being, is now lying on the ground crying.
he choked. "The light of the higher good is dissipating. Everyone, fellow compatriots, those things are trampling on everything we have, and we can only rely on outsiders to solve things. Such shame stings me, but I need those dangerous things more than shame. things die to ensure that titanium spreads more light in this dark universe.”
"For the greater good, for the greater good!"
Words are like sharp knives piercing the chests of Fire Caste warriors, but as soldiers they should not...
Still indifferent, they were still indifferent. When such an atmosphere of despair permeated the ruins of the dilapidated city, they had to admit one thing, the defeat of the world was certain.
But as Shui said, in this situation, we should not rely on everyone to perform their own duties. Today's life and death of Titanium is at a critical moment. If those terrible things here that are exactly the same as Titanium DNA leave, it will only take a hundred years for Titanium to expand three times. Make something that doesn't exist.
However, his words could not move the Fire Caste's firm will, but other protected persons came out. Most of those Titans were the Water caste of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Earth caste who maintained the Fire Caste's equipment. They were thin and not proficient in martial arts, but now they He came in front of everyone holding a pulse gun.
asked the fire clan. "What are you doing? Go back to the temporary camp quickly!"
Those former civilian or support staff took up arms and spoke. "If you insist that protecting this place is right, then continue to protect this empty building complex. We must help the diplomat to fulfill his obligations."
People who are determined and walk on the path of war find the determination in the eyes of their compatriots. There is no doubt that the Shui family in front of them has a personality charm that far exceeds the abilities of his clan, binding many people together.
Since the Protectors don't need them to act...
The Fire Warrior suddenly stood up. ""O" Carnri. Len. Noel, leave the team!"
The next two, three people... ""E" Lena Zorn Hodel, leave the team!"
An act of resisting the Greater Good and saving the Greater Good burned the city like a prairie fire, and such a will was something that only appeared in the Tau hero called Vision.
The Empire's Inquisition once dissected the bodies of the Tau Ethers. They had no psychic powers, no hormonal secretion organs, and no brainwashing ability. However, the Titans showed an astonishing obedience to the Ethers, so other scholars came up with a point.
The thing that links the Titanium is not the ether, but their Greater Good Way. The Ether is just the node of the Supreme Good Way's will. The subspace projection produced by such a belief makes the Titanium convinced of this matter. If there are real psychic creatures By gaining recognition from the Greater Good, he could probably gain terrifying control over the ether.
If he is a "node", but if Titanium does not recognize the concept of the Greater Good, such control will be greatly weakened. In the far-sighted enclave separated from Titanium, the recognition and obedience to the ether will have a great impact. Greatly weakened and distorted, although they still recognize the Greater Good, they also care more about personal personality.
If one day, Titanium denies the node of Ether for the sake of the Greater Good, will that group of Titanium become a new clan?
Of course, such information was quickly buried in tens of thousands of documents in the Empire. For example, a Forge World reported that when they were invaded by the Tyranids, they spilled toxic substances they produced into the atmosphere, killing the Tyranids' landing spores. .
If this matter is unearthed, mankind may get the medicine to save countless worlds...
But based on the content of this report, today's senior officials of the Shui clan have become the new "ether" of this new clan, like a vision, and the new cohesion and the four major clans are working together for one thing on the battlefield for the first time. , and even exerted amazing power.
The Water Clan is responsible for command, communication, and analysis of the situation. The Earth Clan is constantly transporting logistics and repairs. The investigation team composed of the Fire Clan and the Feng Clan has moved forward as quickly as possible with maximum efficiency. Under the new order, Titanium has completed the mission in a short time. Amazing changes.
The potential of this new race is such that even in despair, they can still find new ways.
The Catachan sergeant reported what happened here to the Lieutenant Colonel of the 4th Skadi Regiment who was fighting through the radio. Alan Bair immediately asked his soldiers to change the killing to control. For the 4th Skadi Regiment, For the group, it would not be difficult to destroy this group of Fire Clan, but it would definitely be a strain. If the senior Water Clan official could bring about a miracle, he hoped that such a miracle could reverse the current situation.
But it was extremely difficult to pass through a city full of gene stealers. Even the alliance of the four clans would have to pay a huge loss. After using the fastest speed and losing almost half of their personnel, they relied on a roundabout to reach the water clan high-ranking official Xiang Huo. The requested location.
Now those titans following him are constantly scarred, panting, and out of ammunition and food. The wounds and blood, as well as the corpses of compatriots who died on the road, are all reminding the Shui family officials of their sins, the sin of betraying the Greater Good and the sin of urging compatriots to go. The sin of death.
But now he could only walk the next journey alone. The Fire, Wind, Shui, and Earth clans all bowed to him with the etiquette of the Good Way, expressing their respect for the sacrifice of the Shui clan's senior officials. They couldn't even say that without being discovered, for the sake of the Greater Good.
The senior Shui caste official did not hesitate to approach the most dangerous place in the star port. He had to pass through here to bring hope. His weak body moved along the ruins, while those damn gene stealers spit out their greedy tongues to search for survivors. The breath of things.
Shui held his breath, held the pulse pistol, and moved forward slowly with a firm expression. If there was something really blessing him, it was probably the kindness of the Greater Good. He spent several minutes walking through this terrible star port. , and in the final analysis, it is because the gene stealers who have just occupied this place are activating the spaceship here.
Moreover, the leader of the Ether Gene Stealers has absolute confidence in their control ability. If a Tau comes close, they will only become its servants.
In other words, it was his awareness that allowed him to avoid death, and it was his awareness that would save Titanium's future.
After crossing the star port, the ruins, and the dusty core of the city, the Shui family completed an amazing move. He silently recited the Greater Good and walked forward, but his luck would one day run out. When he walked dozens of Mi, a purebred fifth generation fell in love with him.
It was said that this was the first time he faced a monster that made him so embarrassed. The original appearance of the gene stealer, white chitin shell, damn ugly, and he tremblingly pulled out the pulse gun in the rain and prepared to attack. Shooting…
Born towards death, but he was still physically mortal. Before he could react, the gene stealer was already about to kill him. When the chitin knife was very close to his neck, the sound of explosive bombs erupted violently.
"The second time, two lives, alien." Sergeant Catachan wiped the heated muzzle of the gun with his wet fingers, and the senior Water Caste official said gratefully. "The entire Tau Empire is grateful for your help."
Petty Officer Catachan spat with rainwater in his mouth, he said. "Hurry up and mediate the situation, Lieutenant Colonel's order."
asked a senior official of the Shui clan. "Isn't the Fourth Skadi Regiment disheartened by the Tau Empire?!"
Catachan answered. "Although Ti cannot be trusted, both I and the leader are willing to give you a chance. Go ahead and do your duty..."
The senior official of the Water clan nodded. He approached the core of the battlefield as fast as he could in his life. He picked up a loudspeaker and shouted the teachings of the Greater Good, hoping to awaken his compatriots.
"We were once divided, but the higher good gathered us, compatriots, our strength and strength are brought by unity, wake up, wake up!"
The problem is that he doesn't know what they have been through, so publicity is of course useless. All that awaits him is the pulse rifle fire from his compatriots...
The commander of the Fire Caste's main company raised his pulse rifle, aiming with the utmost precision at what he saw as the genestealer's propagandist, declaring the superiority of his cult!
Damn it!
When the fierce pulse rifle penetrated his body, the Fire Caste commander felt inexplicably pain?
The surprised Shui clan senior officials looked at the sudden big hole in their chests, were they naive? Stupid? Disappointed hope?
When the plasma hit his chest, the violent energy melted a quarter of his entire body. The senior Shui family official looked at the empty body and still shouted.
"Don't continue to kill, for the sake of the greater good, wake up, my compatriots, don't... get lost..."
These words were spread throughout the city through loudspeakers and communicators. The people who were still true Tau people suddenly felt grief, and the pain made them sober. They couldn't help but think, what is the Greater Good?
The Fire Clan commander woke up. He watched himself shoot, shoot, and kill his compatriots. His thoughts were short-circuited, and then quickly turned into anger...the anger of revenge! (End of chapter)
