Chapter 313 The Mysterious Tau Star and the Mission of the Savior
As the understanding of the Tau Empire deepens.
The Ministry of Military Affairs and other departments believe that the contradiction between the two sides is deepening and a larger-scale war is very likely to occur.
The reason for this is simple.
The Tau Empire is ambitious and is undergoing a new round of expansion, accelerating its encroachment on many planets, including the human civilization world.
That was a collective decision involving the entire race.
Unless it encounters major obstacles that endanger the survival of its own race, it will not stop.
Another analysis from the Ministry of Military Affairs believes that the Tau Empire has set its sights on the Charaton region and is issuing tests and threats.
Once we show weakness, the enemy will speed up the embezzlement.
After reading the report on the Tau Empire.
Ron had a general understanding of the current situation.
The territory and the Tau Empire are in the stage of testing each other, and there have been small-scale frictions. If the situation continues to deteriorate, a full-scale war is very likely to occur.
At that point, the territory will have to open a new front.
The Tau Empire is indeed a relatively weak force in the galaxy, compared to the entire human empire.
But for a regional force like the Savior Territory, the Tau Empire is still quite large, and it would take a huge price to completely eliminate it.
"I hope it won't come to that..."
Ron doesn't want to fight.
The current development speed of the territory is obviously much higher than that of the Tau Empire.
An all-out war at this time will only significantly slow down its own development.
A bit of a loss.
He just wanted to digest the Charaton area safely.
Reactivate those drool-worthy bonanzas and keep Forge World's factories smoking hot, churning out more war machines.
Making a further leap in the strength of the territory.
That's when.
Ron can fight however he wants. He can take down the entire Tau Empire and capture their scientists and technology at a lower cost.
Come and research combat uniforms suitable for mortals for our side.
It can also further improve the overall technological level of the territory.
What a pity.
The current situation is no longer under his control.
The Charadon area is right in the way of the Tau Empire's expansion. Can we still make concessions and withdraw from these areas?
Then I have no choice but to accompany you.
The Ministry of Military Affairs is already formulating a combat plan and mobilizing more troops to meet the next challenge.
Ron just needs to understand these things.
A lot of people in the Ministry of Military Affairs are worrying about this matter, so he, the savior, does not need to worry too much.
The Tau Empire’s affairs are not actually the biggest threat facing the territory.
Currently, the territories under his command include the Goli Star Region, the Charaton Region, and several small enclaves under development.
These places border many areas.
That means more risk.
With the deepening of the investigation into the surrounding area, more traces of enemies have been discovered.
The traces of the Tyranids are becoming more and more obvious, the growing green-skinned orc clan, the slave-catching team of the Dark Eldar raiders, etc.
It also encountered attacks from some non-imperial human technological federations.
Even deadly threats have been discovered.
A quiet place spanning several areas, a huge anomaly area in the Milky Way.
It is like a strange, silent shadow there, weakening the soul of the real universe and able to suppress the will of humans, aliens and even all living things.
More trouble is.
Traces of the Necron were found there, and it was a Necron dynasty that had awakened.
Compared to the Tyranids, who are just stretching out some tentacles into the galaxy, the Necrons are more likely to become a race that destroys humanity.
In ancient times, these guys had fights with ancient saints and even killed star gods.
Now, this ancient race is gradually awakening again.
Want to dominate the galaxy again.
When Ron saw the report, he had only one feeling: The human empire was probably going to end again.
Of course.
The Human Empire belongs to those who are not itchy if there are too many lice.
Checkmate.
It's like a broken house that seems to fall down with just a kick.
If someone really kicks me.
A bunch of tough guys are sure to jump out and beat up the guy who made the move.
So, he is more worried about his territory.
If the Necron in the anomaly area comes out and wanders around, the territory must not fall into a big crisis, and may even be destroyed.
Fortunately, the Necrons inside there seem to be fighting, and they can't care about the outside for the time being.
But vigilance is also required.
Now, Ron has somewhat realized the empire's troubles.
That is, as the territory becomes larger, the troops will be dispersed and multi-front operations will be required.
Except for the Tau Empire.
Fighting has already started in other places, taking away the strength of several fleets. Fortunately, they can still withstand it for the time being.
But it's only temporary.
It is foreseeable that the situation in the galaxy will be more violent and dangerous in the future.
The territory is eager to develop more military power.
Lest he, the savior, have to lead the entire army when encountering a major battle in the future.
Play stud with the enemy.
Ron has made his decision.
In the next period of time, the territory will not expand further for the time being. First, we will improve the existing territory, farm well, and build more infrastructure, armed forces, etc.
When we get some big guys, our strength will be almost there.
Go out and wander again.
After reading those documents.
Ron turned off the data pad and continued his work for the day.
He needs to go to a local core area to place a psychic anchor point, and use the psychic power of the little sun to light up the machine soul host there.
Bring the psionic network here.
Various institutions in Wangting District will also establish branches around the psychic anchor area.
Get this planet back into operation as soon as possible.
While he was busy, the mission sent to the territory of the Tau Empire had arrived at the Tau Star...
——
The Tau Empire Star Cluster.
Tau.
The Elemental Council Hall is floating in the orbit of the planet.
This behemoth is like a spherical theater with an open space in the middle.
The transparent dome can capture the distant stars.
At the bottom are rows and rows of command thrones, one after another, within easy reach.
Shadow came to her seat and sat down. She saw the huge star-tide node hexahedron with annular corners above it, which was completely framed by the windows of the conference hall.
There is a huge, dark wormhole without even a trace of light.
This is a fatal danger, and it also reminds the Tau to protect their homeland and prevent any enemies from invading it.
If they all fail in their duties, their homeland will be attacked.
That will cause a greater crisis.
Once the wormhole is impacted and collapses during this process, the galactic rift will swallow up our home.
Let all this slowly die in the cracks.
At this moment, Yingliu was a little nervous.
Because this is a meeting about war, and she has a certain responsibility in it.
Next to.
A low and soothing hum came.
Xi Yu, a representative of the Shui Clan, is using sound to remind and relieve Shadow Liu's tension.
"Everything is well, diplomat."
Xi Yu smiled: "With the wisdom of each clan, we can defeat all threats..."
Shadow Liu responded to the other party:< br>
“I am convinced of this, everything is for the greater good.”
Actually, she is still a little worried.
The Ether Elders sent a fleet to attack the territory of the Human Empire without going through the Elemental Council.
This meeting.
It is more of a notification than a discussion.
Yingliu looked at the royal seats in the inner ring. In the last royal seat there sat an elder Kroot.
According to the holographic projection image floating in mid-air, this elder is called Opik and is one of the leaders of the Kroot people.
The Klute can sit here and hold the sixth seat.
That represents the Kindred Soul of the Council, a symbolic honor given to the five true clans of Wind, Water, Fire, Earth and Ether, providing a spectator's perspective.
It is also to show the civilization and superiority of the Tau Empire.
At this moment, the bird-shaped beastman was sitting in the imperial seat, curled up, covering his limbs in front of his chest, and his claws were twitching.
Looking listless, obviously not feeling particularly happy.
Today, the Kroot elder has lost any right to speak.
His role is to sit here and listen to the speeches and teachings of Ether and other clans.
Shadow Stream looked at the back of Elder Kroot, thinking about something.
When did the change begin?
Nowadays, her human assistants are not allowed to enter some important areas.
They are vaguely hostile to the five major clans, and even the Kroot, the Wasps, and the Nikasars.
Of course.
Not only humans, but the attitude of the five major clans towards their relatives has also changed.
It’s just that the human clan has suffered the most serious hostility.
“This is a bad phenomenon...”
Shadow Stream thought secretly.
All of this seems to have started after the fourth expansion of the sky.
At that time, the Ether clan used a dangerous plan to continue the expansion of the Tau Empire.
They studied the subspace engine of the Human Empire and developed the AL-38 subsurface module, which allowed the Tau Empire to conduct interstellar navigation at a faster speed. Fleet commanders used this technology to spread the great Greater Good further afield.
However, an accident occurred in one of the fleets.
That huge fleet used the undercurrent module at the same time, causing a huge disaster: a large number of antimatter fields formed a chain reaction, tearing a huge gap in real space.
The rift quickly widened and swept across the entire fleet, dragging it into a nightmarish and unknown realm.
The fleet was not completely destroyed, but was attacked by some terrible demons.
Fortunately, the remaining fleet was rescued and appeared in another remote area. The survivors claimed that it was an abominable multi-armed entity.
Fished them out from an unknown dimension.
But what is strange is that the auxiliary troops and all the relatives in that fleet disappeared like a mystery.
Fortunately, the Ether clan quickly passed on the knowledge and information of this disaster.
Complete erasure.
The reason why Yingliu knew this was because Yingyang told herself that it was a secret that she had been suffering from and would never reveal it.
According to the remaining information before erasure, those surviving fleets carried out large-scale expulsions and executions of all non-Tau ethnic groups in the fleet.
This abnormal action started after they encountered unimaginable trauma in an unknown dimension.
Those surviving Tau believed that the terrible disaster was caused by the alien auxiliaries in the fleet.
The survivors of the entire fleet showed cruelty and xenophobia that other Tau people did not possess. They believed that the aliens' thinking about the Greater Good led to disasters and gave birth to that abominable entity. .
Only by eradicating the alien races can the purity of the higher good be guaranteed.
In the subsequent expansion war, those survivors not only massacred human captives, but also deliberately sacrificed other kin auxiliaries.
Cause a greater impact.
For this reason, General Shadowsun and the Ethereal Council had to use some kind of ritual to punish the commanders of these survivor troops, and then conduct a thorough re-education.
Send it back to the army or homeland.
General Yingyang originally thought that this matter would be over, but as the expansion continued, this phenomenon seemed to be spreading slowly.
Even the Ether clans were affected.
The attitude of the Ethereals toward other kin, and even the Tau clan, is changing, and they seem to distrust them more and more.
Not only further strengthens the control.
In foreign wars, they are also more radical and brutal.
In this regard, General Yingyang was somewhat helpless.
For the Ethers were the supreme rulers, and no clan could oppose them.
She needed someone to talk to, so she told all this to Shadow Stream, who was close to her.
But this secret also makes Yingliu feel more tormented.
She also wanted to find someone to talk to, but she had promised to keep it a secret, and that was very dangerous.
If you find someone to talk to, and the other party reports you.
That’s trouble!
Yingliu was thinking wildly and suddenly felt that his behavior was a bit selfish.
This is contrary to the great Greater Good.
She wanted to tell the elders of Ether about this secret and General Yingyang’s dissatisfaction with Ether.
Also, maybe my mind is a little dirty and I need ether to re-educate myself.
Only then can we better serve the Greater Good.
"Re-education?"
Kingliu thought about this, and his body trembled unconsciously for some reason.
She was inexplicably resistant to this word.
"Re-education" is an important ceremony that all clans except Ether participate in.
basically.
All other clans, as well as kin, have undergone re-education.
Because only by participating in re-education can one cleanse his mind and serve the great higher good.
In the past, Yingliu thought it was nothing.
Because she has also participated in it, she feels that the whole process is very comfortable, and her soul has been sublimated, and she has a deeper understanding of the Greater Good.
But now.
Tormented by that secret, she sensed something was wrong.
True.
Re-education was a good experience.
But she suddenly discovered that those tribesmen who had received re-education seemed to have changed. Even their previous habits and personalities had changed.
Simply put, anything that is contrary to the Greater Good.
All disappeared.
The more times you receive re-education, the more obvious this phenomenon becomes.
If a Tau is re-educated many times, he still cannot fully accept the Greater Good.
That will be despised by everyone, and then self-expelled.
"Where did those expelled tribesmen go? It seems that they all disappeared without a trace?"
Shadow Liu thought.
Isn’t that a terrible thing?
She looked up at the ether in the inner ring, and suddenly felt that their peaceful faces were a little abominable.
“What’s wrong with me?”
Shadow Stream almost went crazy, feeling that he was violating the Greater Good, hiding secrets, and doubting the noble Ether.
She was shouting from the bottom of her heart:
"I must tell this secret, and I must give everything I have to the Supreme Being without reservation!"
"Shadow Liu, what's wrong with you?" Xi Yu looked over and asked with some concern.
“I, maybe there are some things I must do!”
Yingliu's tone was a little confused.
She couldn't help but stood up and faced an etheric elder, wanting to go over and tell him all this.
Then receive re-education hosted by Ether.
This is how to end this torture.
However, just when she took a step forward.
A voice not far away interrupted her, causing her to regain her composure.
“The supreme ether is here.”
An ether guard shouted loudly from behind the seat: “Please be quiet, please know that the supreme ether is with you!”
Subsequently.
The Ether Guard looked at Shadow Stream and scolded:
"Sit down, don't be rude!"
In an instant, many eyes looked this way, Ying showed an apologetic expression, and sat down almost subconsciously.
My emotions returned and I gave up my previous thoughts.
In the society of the Tau Empire.
Everyone consciously and carefully follows social rules, especially when dealing with ether.
Discourteous behavior can lead to dissatisfaction and rejection by the group.
An Aether elder looked over, his sunken nose wrinkled slightly.
He wrote down the diplomat's behavior.
When the next re-education ceremony starts, she will be included.
At this moment, everyone in the conference hall, whether they were Tau people or a very small number of relatives, stood up.
Many of them also smoothed down their work clothes.
A moment later.
The membrane-shaped, art-like rooms opened.
A noble being just floated in. His tranquility and faintly exuding absolute authority instantly filled the entire venue.
The Supreme Ether accepted the respect of the crowd, and he scanned the audience: "It is a rare sight to see all the talented people here. Everyone, please take a seat, we have to have a meeting..."
in subsequent meetings.
The Supreme Ether speaks of many things.
But Yingliu didn’t remember much. She just knew that a war was about to begin.
Ether told the delegates.
A fleet has already gone to the Charaton galaxy in advance to conduct corresponding testing, and more fleets are preparing.
He has made his final decision.
If the so-called savior does not accept the Tau Empire's offer, accept the great Greater Good.
Then the opponent will receive a violent blow from all directions.
And the fleet is allowed to perform some more intense shocking behaviors.
In a daze, the meeting ended.
in the venue.
The representatives left one after another to carry out their respective tasks.
As soon as Yingliu stood up, he was gently pulled by someone.
Xi Yu looked at her, a little strange: "What did you want to do just now, can you tell me?"
"It's nothing."
Shadow Liu shook her head. She had decided to keep that secret forever and not participate in re-education as much as possible.
She seems to like her own situation.
That's... the feeling of freedom.
Soon, Shadow Stream accepted a task under the arrangement of the Water Clan.
She needs to entertain the mission sent by the Savior.
This is the way the Tau Empire usually spreads the Greater Good, allowing the other party's envoys to come and truly experience the Greater Good.
At the same time.
See the high civilization and power of the Tau Empire.
After visiting Tau, many human missions are often shocked by the high degree of civilization and development here.
Longing for it.
Allowing them to join the Tau Empire more quickly.
Shadow Stream leads two assistants, the Kroot Hoxha and the human Lesven.
Go to the reception.
She looked to the sky.
Outside the splendid atmosphere of Titanium.
A small ship that shone slightly like a noble work of art descended slowly under the guidance of the rail transit department.
That is the mission of the Savior...
