Chapter 309: Human Tau Alliance: Join the Great Greater Good, or die!
Sanctuary of the Redeemer.
Ron adjusted a comfortable position on the bed and continued to read and recall information about the Tau people.
Without the slightest worry.
If there is an invasion by aliens such as Necron, Tyranids, Green-skinned Orcs or Eldar, he will be worried and order the territory to be fully alerted, or even initiate a new war edict.
However, this time the territory encountered the Tau Empire.
If you say Mr. Titanium, then there is nothing to worry about.
Until now, the Tau Empire is still an insignificant force in the galaxy, with approximately three hundred habitable planets and dozens of small colonies and outposts.
Such a scale is not only incomparable to the Human Empire, but even the Savior Territory is larger than the Tau Empire.
Actually, Ron doesn't have much ill feelings toward the Tau Empire.
Compared to those monsters and monsters in the Purgatory Galaxy, the Tau Empire is simply a pure white flower.
Their rise is due to considerable luck.
Ten thousand years ago.
The Empire of Man is conducting the Great Expedition under the leadership of the Great Emperor, visiting its alien neighbors in the galaxy one by one, and thoughtfully sending them gift packages of explosive bombs, light spears, and cyclone torpedoes.
There is no way around this.
Humans are so fragile, and those aliens are so terrifying and treacherous.
This makes humans have a bad impression of aliens, even to the point of hatred.
For self-protection.
Under the leadership of the Emperor, mankind had to eliminate those aliens, causing the galaxy's vicious alien races to be exterminated in large numbers.
The fleet of the Great Expedition fought all the way to the eastern border of the galaxy.
Here humans discovered a group of blue-skinned primitives who had just learned to use flint fires and wooden tools. They lived an idyllic and beautiful life here.
I don’t feel the horror of the Milky Way at all.
Because the Tau are born without psychic powers and are almost insulated from the Warp, their souls are almost invisible in the Warp and are extremely resistant to Chaos.
This makes them lucky to avoid the invasion of the warp.
For the human empire, aliens are aliens. Even if they are still a group of primitive people, they are still a sufficient threat.
It may develop one day and become a fatal threat to mankind.
Such examples are not uncommon in the galaxy.
The Aeldari were once the masters of the Milky Way and the lords of the stars, and created a glorious civilization.
Just when they were at their peak, committing suicide and having fun, the human ancestors on Earth, or ancient Terra, were still naked monkeys.
Just tens of thousands of years.
Humanity quickly developed and became the new master of the galaxy, while the Eldar were so excited that they lost the Kucha and could only wander around.
From the perspective of the Human Empire, the racial competition between the galaxies is so cruel that there is almost no possibility of easing, and any alien may be a new threat.
It must be killed at the source!
So, the expedition fleet issued a clearance order and prepared to routinely clear out the blue-skinned primitive aliens on the planet to make room for subsequent human colonization.
However, at the moment the fleet arrived.
A warp storm swept through the system, sealing off the Tau's home planet, making it impossible for the fleet to approach or attack.
Due to the threat of the storm, the expedition fleet had to abandon the cleaning plan and return the same way after recording the relevant information.
The Human Empire marked this area as the "Chaos Occupied Area".
Due to various reasons, the plan to cleanse this alien was postponed indefinitely. After that, the empire experienced many rebellions, and the information about the Tau people was almost lost in the dust of history. .
The Tau people were lucky to survive in this way, and developed rapidly in the following thousands of years, with their technology constantly rising.
Moreover, under the careful cleaning of the expedition fleet, the vicious aliens in the surrounding area were basically eliminated, leaving the Tau with almost no opponents in the novice stage.
Dominate the entire area.
Today, the technology of the Tau Empire has been extremely advanced. Under the leadership of the Ether clan, they believe in the higher good and are willing to absorb other races to become one of their own.
Develop together.
It is considered a relatively civilized race.
The concept of the Greater Good is not very complicated. In a simple summary:
The collective needs of the Tau Empire override all individuals.
All supporters of the Greater Good adhere to this belief, work hard, fight bravely, and even sacrifice their lives for this great goal.
Under the guidance of the Supreme Good, every action that benefits the collective, even the smallest contribution, deserves people's recognition and praise.
And those few individuals who are arrogant, selfish and endanger the collective will be spurned by everyone.
Under the guidance of this more civilized thought, the cities on the main planet of the Tau Empire developed very well and were basically neat and orderly.
In addition to residential buildings, many exquisite sculptures and many beautiful parks have been erected to allow the people to live in a good environment.
And safety is also guaranteed. The domes and energy barriers in the residential areas can protect the people of the Tau Empire from the harm of the harsh environment or the attacks of alien races.
In the Tau Empire, almost all Tau people believe in the Greater Good.
I hope to convey this great and bright concept to the intelligent alien races in the galaxy, even the barbaric and backward alien civilizations.
They believed in a greater good that could unite all civilizations.
It is the lifelong obligation and mission of the Tau to spread the Greater Good. They believe that it is not enough to passively wait for other races in the darkness to seek enlightenment.
So, the Tau Empire has never stopped expanding outwards. They continue to expand their territory and establish new colonial systems.
Whenever the Tau Empire discovers a foreign civilization.
They will first send diplomats to visit the local area, conduct friendly negotiations and lobbying, and show those aliens the benefits of the Greater Good and the incomparable power of the Tau Empire.
If the local aliens are willing to accept the Greater Good, the Tau Empire will immediately begin to colonize the area, provide various materials and technical assistance, and assign new labor tasks to the local residents.
Let every resource and strength be dedicated to the great and bright path of the higher good.
However, not all alien civilizations are willing to accept the teachings of the Tau.
For those inferior elements who are ignorant, stubborn, backward and resistant, the Tau Empire will send a powerful army to baptize them with artillery fire.
They do not reject the use of force, which is also a way to spread their faith.
But compared to other races in the galaxy, the Tau Empire is relatively civilized. They are not keen on meaningless massacre and destruction after conquering a new civilized world.
They will show mercy and strive to preserve the resources and population of the civilized world so that it can continue to contribute to the greater good.
In the view of the Tau Empire, there is nothing wrong with those who are short-sighted. The strong should show mercy and give them a chance to repent.
So, they will force the captives to undergo re-education, and then rebuild the cities that collapsed in the war.
Making it an outpost of the Tau Empire.
Gradually, the Tau Empire rapidly expanded its territory to surrounding galaxies. In the process, it encountered almost no decent opponents and never experienced the crisis of destruction.
The biggest crisis encountered is the human empire.
In 742.M41, the Human Empire launched an expedition in order to regain a certain sector that was separated from Terra's rule due to the warp.
However, when the expedition fleet passed through the Damocles Bay area, it discovered that many imperial worlds there had turned to an alien race called the Tau.
When the news was reported, it caused an uproar.
The Human Empire could not allow and would never tolerate such a thing, so it immediately summoned an army to attack in the area.
The offensive went very smoothly at first. The expedition fleet defeated the Tau Empire fleet in the Damocles Bay area and advanced all the way.
Until five months later.
The expedition fleet arrives in the homeland of the Tau Empire.
However, due to underestimating the enemy and various reasons, the expedition fleet suffered heavy losses and suffered serious losses.
This failure made the human empire even more angry, and it further increased the scale of the expedition fleet, sending a large number of reinforcement fleets and possessing multiple levels of battleships.
They are ready to destroy the Tau Empire in one fell swoop!
The Tau Empire knew nothing about this, and instead organized more warships to try to fight.
However, before the Empire could invest in a fleet of reinforcements and let the Tau experience the thrill of annihilation, the Tyranid appeared in the galaxy and wreaked havoc on the human planet.
For this.
The expeditionary force had to suspend its plan to attack the Tau Empire and return with reinforcements to resist the Tyranid invasion.
But from the perspective of the Tau Empire, this is because the Human Empire was afraid of the strength of the Tau army after its defeat and had to retreat.
In this way, the Tau Empire won again.
They defeated the army of the Human Empire!
This makes the Tau people more and more confident.
Believing that their race, and the Greater Good, have taken their place in the galaxy.
Now, after hundreds of years of development, the Tau Empire has made a further leap in strength and has become even more powerful.
They are ambitious and have begun a new round of expansion, preparing to spread the great and bright path of the higher good to the entire galaxy.
Become the new ruler of the galaxy!
“Alas~
In this comparison, although the Tau Empire is not very powerful, it is civilized enough. Compared with others, the Human Empire is like a barbarian..."
Ron summarized the information about the Tau Empire and couldn't help but He sighed.
Of course, that is compared to the Empire.
His savior's territory is quite civilized, and it is somewhat similar to the Tau Empire in terms of philosophy. >Although there is no greater good in the territory
But it also believes in collectivism to a certain extent. Everyone works hard, fights heroically, and even sacrifices their lives for the great savior.
Furthermore, every sacrifice of the people under the savior will be rewarded accordingly and receive the blessing they deserve.
But only for humans.
Ron thought about it.
This Tau Empire is simply the alien version of the savior of the galaxy. It has a high degree of overlap with him in terms of business, and now the territories between the two sides are relatively close.
This is likely to create a direct competitive relationship.
Now, the self-confident Tau Empire has begun to leave the novice village, and may come to his territory and ask the planets in the territory to join the Greater Good.
There is a high probability that a certain degree of friction will occur.
"I hope there won't be any war..."
Ron frowned slightly.
He has no ill feelings towards the Tau Empire. They are civilized people and they are not a threat to him in such a big place.
The territory currently does not have much desire to attack civilized aliens, and will not take the initiative to start a war unless necessary.
What's more, the territory itself has an affiliated alien race, and the Erth State Church is also trying its best to preach to the aliens.
The reason why the territory can tolerate aliens is mainly because Ron, the savior, directly controls the aliens with faith and can highly influence their thoughts and loyalty.
Not too worried about betrayal.
For Ron, the Milky Way is becoming more and more dangerous now. Ordinary people in the territory may not be able to feel it, but in fact, the vast majority of the human civilized world is.
They are all in dire straits.
Just look at the previous encounters in the Charaton area.
Humanity can almost be said to have entered the final era and is on the verge of destruction.
Any existence that can enhance strength should be fought for as much as possible. Survive first, and then discuss whether it is alien or not.
certainly.
No matter what, human beings are the absolute subjects and will not coexist with aliens, so as to eliminate potential threats as much as possible.
Ron was thinking about a strategy to deal with the Tau Empire.
To be honest, the territory has just experienced a war, and it is time for good farming. There are a lot of places waiting for reconstruction and development.
According to the plan of the Ministry of Interior, the Charaton area is officially returned to the territory itself, rather than a subsidiary territory.
Therefore, the reconstruction specifications are based on local standards, such as psychic networks, sacred towers, related supporting infrastructure, educational institutions, food supplies, etc.
Everything has to be arranged.
In this case, as long as the Tau Empire doesn't fool around in front of them, just let them go.
He doesn’t really want to start another war.
Ron thought for a while and sent a strategy for dealing with the Tau Empire to the Ministry of the Interior.
Let them try to make contact first to see if they can get along well with each other and conduct some exchanges and trade. As long as the other party does not invade their territory, they will not take the lead in launching a war.
After processing the Tau Empire's files.
He began to read the documents related to the large-scale development plan of the Charaton area again and plan the next itinerary.
Although Bayev and others almost shouldered most of the government affairs for themselves.
But he still has to appear in some inspection scenes, so as to consolidate the faith of the Savior to a greater extent.
Soon, several more itineraries were added to Ron's daily list.
One of the items is highlighted.
That is Ormus, an important reconstruction pilot planet in the Charaton region's large-scale development plan. This planet is almost in extreme suffering, and its reconstruction and recovery work will become a typical case.
It is also a window to hundreds of civilized planets in the Charadon region.
At that time, the people in charge of almost most planets will come to observe and communicate.
That is a big learning experience for the person in charge.
They will work hard to learn the relevant concepts of the Savior, and at the same time, they can communicate with the Savior at close range, and talk about the difficulties, changes, and assistance needed on their own planet.
Moreover, the relevant changes on this planet will also be transmitted to all parts of the Charadon region, letting those people know that they believe in the savior.
What a wonderful life will come.
After Ron finished dealing with these, he put away the tablet and pulled the blanket up to cover his stomach.
Although with his physique, he didn't have any discomfort in living in sub-zero environment, the habit in his genes at this moment was still retained. For the descendants of Yan and Huang, no matter how hot it is, you have to cover your stomach. At worst, you have to turn on the air conditioner. Even if you don't have a quilt, you still have to cover your stomach with your hands.
Mainly focus on a healthy sleep.
The environmental mimicry system continues to operate.
Along with the rustling wind and the chirping of insects, Ron fell into a deep sleep, but he soon fell into a dream and had in-depth communication with Slaanesh.
The plot of this dream is:
The savior accidentally broke into the Tau Empire and encountered round after round of physical siege from a collective of Tau beauties. Under the terrible torture instruments and temptations, he struggled to resist.
Hiss~
Sleeping.
Ron cursed in a daze: "You stupid Slaanesh, did you rise to the occasion like this?"
——
The far eastern border of the empire.
The world of human civilization, Carlo.
Inside the Royal Auditorium.
Ribbons are flying between the giant windows, and the dome above the head is full of patterns, depicting many angels of wisdom, most of whom are wielding swords or carrying locked books of the Holy Book.
The planetary governor is located on the throne, with a row of uniformed guards below.
His authority knocked lightly, looked at the captain of the guard, and said in a low voice: "In the name of the emperor, who is here?"
The captain of the guard solemnly replied:
"Your Majesty's captain of the bodyguard!"
"What do you mean by this person?"
"With your permission, I have brought a delegation from the Tau Empire..."
They asked and answered questions in a precise manner, following the etiquette and procedures that have always been prescribed by this planet.
In the central area of the auditorium, inside the Tau Empire's mission, the head of the mission, Water Caste diplomat Shadow Liu, looked at all this and felt a little ridiculous.
In her youth, such routine diplomatic behavior would have only irritated and frustrated her.
But now she knows that allowing ignorant people to indulge in their own pedantic traditions is the best way to ensure their peaceful integration into the Tau Empire.
"Human beings are such a ignorant, ignorant, and barbaric race"
Yingliu thought to himself, and couldn't help but sigh: "Their political structure is so decadent and backward, I really can't imagine how they Having developed to this point in the galaxy..."
Fortunately, they were lucky enough to be guided by the Tau Empire and the Greater Good.
Suddenly, the voice of the captain of the guard appeared, containing authority: "You are allowed to come forward."
Shadow Stream led the envoy forward, and she looked up and saw the governor on the throne. , and his wives, all of whom were wearing layers of more ornate clothing.
In contrast.
The white robe worn by Yingliu is simple but elegant, more elegant, and it is obviously a more advanced textile technology.
More importantly, she has a more noble decoration.
That is the Greater Good.
Yingliu stepped forward with calm and elegant steps. This is a kind of exquisite beauty, but not ostentatious.
She bowed deeply to the Governor:
"Dear——"
The Governor said solemnly:
"You are not allowed to talk to us without permission!"
Hearing this, Shadow Liu fell into silence, waiting for the other party's instructions.
The governor tapped his scepter lightly and looked at the captain of the guard.
The captain of the guard immediately straightened his back.
While speaking with great enthusiasm, he pointed his gesture at the person being introduced: "Your Majesty, please allow me to introduce you. This is the special envoy of the Tau Empire, His Excellency Shadow Stream..."
< br>Then he looked at a Kroot, a bird-shaped beastman and a human assistant: "And Hoxha and Leswin."
This is generally the configuration of the Tau Empire mission.
A Water Caste diplomat, a Kroot, and an assistant of the same species as the person being communicated to, if they can be found.
This is the idea that the Tau Empire wants to express. They hope that all races can cooperate and work together.
After the introduction.
The Governor tapped his scepter three times.
The captain of the guard looked at the Tau Empire envoy: "After His Majesty asks the question, you can speak freely."
Shadow Liu nodded, expressing understanding.
For these occasions, she has a certain degree of patience, if the other party's attitude is not too bad.
Finally, the governor raised his head and looked down at the shadow stream:
"What do you want to do with your envoys here?"
"We are here to give your Majesty Bring an opportunity"
Shadow Stream's voice was light and elegant: "An opportunity that many humans embraced, were grateful for, and rejoiced in, an opportunity to join the Greater Good.
It brought hope to many worlds and allowed people to Get out of misery..."
"Huh!"
The governor's face became gloomy, and his words were no longer so polite: "The opportunity you mentioned is to make us humans surrender to the rule of aliens. "Your Majesty?"
Lesven, the human assistant of the Tau Empire, stepped forward.
Although his attitude was respectful, there was still a hint of superiority in his tone: "That is not conquest, but integration. The Tau are willing to accept other races to join and enjoy their technology and culture.< br>
My hometown is like this. After being integrated into the Tau Empire, it has achieved further development, escaped from poverty and hardship, and gained long-term protection. "
Lesvin said in his tone. There was a hint of fanaticism:
“That is a higher level of civilization. Perhaps you can’t imagine that the Tau civilization is so advanced that it is beyond the reach of humans. Even the air of their planet is like this. …”
"Okay!"
The Governor waved his hand to interrupt Leswin's words, stared at him and asked: "You just abandoned the emperor's faith and joined the alien camp. Are you still human?"< br>
“Of course I am human!”
Leswin seemed to be humiliated. He suddenly rolled up his sleeves, showing the Imperial double-headed eagle tattoo on his arm and the wrapped metal Imperial cross:
"There is no doubt that I am still human, and the Tau have never interfered with our beliefs..."
Of course, he selectively did not say that his faith in the Emperor was close to nothing. He only kept these to show his identity in front of the Tau people.
So as not to be looked down upon by them.
The shadow said in a voice:
"Your Majesty, as you can see, we will not let anyone give up their beliefs. Leswen joined us because they see in the Greater Good. To the prospect of prosperity and the hope for the future development of mankind"
"Yes, we have become more prosperous and happy after integrating into the Tau Empire"
Lesven described and shared this beauty as much as possible: "Your Majesty, you should join us and join a higher level of civilization. That is the path that humans should follow, and under the protection of the Tau garrison.
< br>This world can also have long-term peace."
The governor was furious: "You are all traitors to mankind, just like you, you have become spineless lackeys! For the sake of safety, betraying humanity and betraying loyalty to the emperor is simply disgusting!"
He became more and more emotional, and the gem scepter shattered under the strong impact: "What the hell! Shandao, what you do is just for temporary stability
Just selling the future of mankind to aliens.
If the price of peace is to serve as a lackey for the aliens, then we would rather not need this hypocritical peace! "
"Your Majesty, please pay attention to your wording..."
Leswin's expression became serious. With the Tau people behind him, he became extremely confident: "You should know that peace It is extremely precious, and you should know how terrifying the Tau Empire is.
The extremely powerful warriors they have! ”
He pointed at the bird-shaped Kroot Hoxha: "The Kroot have played an extremely important role in defeating the orks, the zerg, and any heretic and traitor armies known to your majesty. They are almost unbeatable.< br>
And they are just the vanguard of our Tau Empire. Even the human allies of our Tau Empire cannot be resisted by your troops.”
Legendary General of the Tau Empire, Fire Caste! Shadow Sun once led an army to defeat a Tyranid squadron and a group of orc clans. This has always been a record they are proud of.
Leswin said this, obviously making a vague threat.
“The humble and pitiful running dog, barking here after being given a few bones by the master.”
The Governor looked at Lesven, spat, and then pointed to the land at his feet: "You know, this land used to be full of aliens.
Those ugly existences enslaved my ancestors, Treat them as slaves and feed them with blood.
After hundreds of years of struggle with blood and tears, my ancestors defeated the aliens, got the land to live on, built a city for humans, and thrived. ”< br>
He stared at Leswin: "Now, you want aliens to set foot on this land again. My ancestors will not agree, I will not agree, and my people will not agree.
You The so-called Greater Good, apart from its nicer name, what is the difference between it and Conquest?
Alien lackeys, get out of here with your higher good, we humans will never succumb to the aliens! "
The governor had just finished speaking.
Everyone in the auditorium looked at the Tau Empire envoy with indifference in their eyes.
"Pedantic, stubborn, and thorough. Complete stupidity..."
Lethven showed a hint of ridicule, these people who do not understand the current affairs will always surrender under the fire of their Tau Empire.
He looked respectfully at Shadow Stream, asking for advice.
Yingliu sighed slightly. It was obvious that it was difficult to continue the negotiation. The governor's family's past experience made his attitude tougher than expected.
Moreover, the other party's dismissive attitude towards the Greater Good also made her lose her patience.
Perhaps we can only let the powerful artillery fire of the Tau Empire conquer the opponent.
Shadow Stream looked at Lai Siwen and nodded slightly.
After receiving permission from the Water Caste diplomat, Lesven looked directly at the Governor, with an irrefutable authority and intimidation: "Your Majesty, we give you another chance to choose.
Join the great and bright Lord The greater good, or death under gunfire..."
This is already a naked threat and a final warning. If you refuse again, the planet will be bombarded by artillery fire from the Tau Empire's Fire Caste army.
The ignorant, stubborn, backward and resistant elements will all be baptized by artillery fire!
Even in the face of such a threat, the Governor still did not surrender.
He looked at Lessvin, his eyes full of contempt and disgust: "I'm sorry, I refuse to associate with any aliens!"
If we surrender when encountering the threat of aliens and heretics, then the human beings on this planet would have There is no need to fight, just continue to be enslaved by those ugly aliens and become blood food.
How could they give up the freedom they had fought so hard for so easily?
The tragic experiences of our ancestors have been circulating on this planet, serving as a warning to people.
No one wants to be a slave to an alien anymore.
If he, the governor, dares to take the lead in being a dog for the aliens, his officials, soldiers and brave subjects will be the first to tear him apart!
Yingliu sighed slightly.
She saluted gracefully and spoke in a condescending tone:
"Unfortunately, Your Majesty, you rejected our proposal and missed a good opportunity to join the Greater Good Path. Perhaps the Fire Clan's army will allow You and this planet change this idea..."
The Governor waved his hand: "You can get out!"
Shadow Stream is not angry. The strong will not be easily angered by the weak. They are just ignorant people who do not understand the higher good.
She turned around and led the Tau Empire delegation away, feeling that she had already sentenced the governor to death in her heart.
After the delegation left, the auditorium returned to silence.
The Governor sat back on the throne tiredly.
The current situation is a bit too bad. The world has lost contact with the empire and there is no way to get corresponding support.
That means they need to fight alone.
Fortunately, they still have the emperor's faith and blessing, and they have the will to die rather than surrender.
The governor raised his head, his eyes burning with fighting intent.
He looked at the people in the auditorium:
"Everyone, after more than three hundred years, aliens will set foot on our land again. What do you think we should do?"
The captain of the guard and the people roared: "For the freedom of mankind, we will fight to the death!"
This was the only sentence left by the governor's ancestor and the hero who formed the resistance army before he died in the battle.
After that, his brothers and the resistance army, relying on these words and the spirit of staying, went through decades of struggle before finally driving out the aliens.
"Yes, for the freedom of mankind, we will fight to the death..."
The Governor murmured.
Subsequently, he issued a comprehensive war order, calling on the people of the entire planet to resist the coming alien army.
For a while.
Carlo's army and people took action.
They built defense lines one after another and dug deep trenches in the city. They vowed to resist the aliens.
Until the last drop of blood is shed in our homeland!
A few days later.
Royal Auditorium.
On the throne, the Governor is wearing armor and fully armed. He is always ready to lead his bodyguards to fight to the death with the incoming aliens!
But there was deep worry in his eyes.
The alien force called the Tau Empire was so powerful that he had no chance of winning, so those requests for support were sent out.
Still no response.
Perhaps, we can only fight to the death to live up to the glory of our ancestors...
Suddenly, the captain of the guard came, and after saluting, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there is another envoy asking to see you..."< br>
At this moment, the governor no longer cared about those damn complicated etiquette. He said in an irritable tone: "Speak directly if you have something to say. If they are a delegation from the Tau Empire, let them go!"
Guard A little excited:
"It's not the Tau Empire, they are the Imperials.
Those people claim to be the great savior, the salvation emissary of Lord Ron, the original body, and have been visiting planets that are in distress and need rescue.
They asked us if we needed assistance in terms of supplies or weapons..."
