Chapter 1396 Ether Warrior Saint
“I remember it is said that the Tau people are all weaklings. Can this guy also become an arena champion? How good is this arena?”
Taros Although the words are relatively insulting, Soshyan has also seen many statements in the alien database that the Tau are not good at close combat. This race seems to rely heavily on long-range shooting when fighting. When fighting the Empire, they will be drawn into close combat. It will collapse immediately - of course these are the words from the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Although it may be an exaggeration, by the standards of Space Marines, the Tau are indeed thin, so it should be true that they are not good at close combat.
And the person on the field only wore a simple robe without any protective gear, which made him look even more fragile.
Soshyan also became curious at this time. How could an alien that looked so weak gain a reputation in the Comoros Arena?
At this time, Kayon picked up a card from the table with some words on it.
After watching for a while, Qianzi discovered that the hostess of the arena had thoughtfully prepared information about the competition slaves for each VIP.
“.This Tau man is called Ammon. He is a member of the highest level of the Tau Ether. He was captured three years ago and has won nineteen consecutive competitions.”
"Ether?"
The term was unfamiliar to Soshyan, perhaps out of disdain, as the Empire had little understanding of Tau society, focusing more on their military might.
“Well, I don’t know much. I learned a little bit when I was bored before. It seems that the Tau people are divided into four clans according to their functions: fire, air, earth, and water, and the ether is to coordinate and control these four clans. The class can be understood as the nobility. Well, it doesn’t seem to be accurate, because it is difficult for the nobility to have absolute control over the lower classes. In human society, power is always wrapped up in layers, but the Tau people don’t seem to be very Likewise, their power structure is very simple. Ether can transcend all organizations and power structures and have an overview of everything. Other clans will also maintain absolute obedience to Ether. This absolute control over other clans and classes, at least in my opinion, is very Unusual.”
Kayon thought for a while, and then changed his explanation.
"In this respect, they seem to be closer to the Genestealers? The Ether plays a similar role to the Hive Master, but it just means that other Tau people have more independent thinking than the Genestealers."
"Then it stands to reason that they should all play the role of managers, not soldiers."
As soon as Soshiyang finished speaking, there was a sudden vibration in the arena.
Then, the floor of the arena opened, and a huge cage rose up. What was contained in the cage made the three of them frown.
It was an extremely ugly, evil and depraved existence, with thick limbs with hooves, and a large mass of fat, rotten flesh attached to a body made of bones and metal.
The dirty skin covered with mucus seemed to have been roughly sewn together. When this creature was exposed to the sight of the Dark Eldar, all the flesh on its body trembled involuntarily.
“A creation of the Bloodling.”
Khayon immediately revealed the origin of this terrible creature.
“The giant biological monsters created by those undead monsters are usually called monsters. Although most of them are in human form, the tastes of those perverted artists have never been fixed. It is said that the transformation of this biological weapon The process is painful and long, and the victim is injected with various growth agents, steroids, and muscle stimulants, and the bones will also become hyperfunctional due to the injection of bone viruses."
Talos also interjected at this time:
"Speaking of which, we have fought against similar things before, and they are indeed humanoid. The weapons are usually prosthetics modified with both arms, and also include some firearms, gloves, and huge machetes. However, this kind of thing has very low intelligence and cannot be used. Although it is particularly difficult to solve, the most difficult thing is the Haemonculi itself and its followers.”
Kayon nodded.
"Yes, the biggest weakness of this weapon is its low IQ. Therefore, in wars, monsters are generally used by the Haemonculi as line cutters and placed at the front of the battle line. They will slaughter the enemy before receiving other orders. , there will even be internal strife among the monsters, which may be caused by insanity caused by steroids and stimulants. In short, it is not difficult to deal with. "
"This is already an infinite desecration of life."
< br>After listening to Suoshiyang frowning, he looked at the poor creature again. The trembling pieces of flesh were hanging on various protruding bones and metals. Its compound eyes all over the body looked like flowing solar flares, and its body was The mouth in the center is surprisingly huge, with deformed teeth tapping against each other, trying to imitate human speech. If you look carefully, this thing is almost as big as a Rand.
When Titanium in the arena saw such an evil product, he instinctively took a step back. However, when he noticed that there were two pieces of paper put together under the big mouth. As his face filled with pain, he subconsciously exclaimed:
"Jiu Run! This picture!"
After saying that, he turned around angrily and looked at Selene, who was dazzled on the VIP table.
"You deceived me! You said you would heal them! That's why I agreed to participate in this fight!"
Selene covered her mouth lightly with the back of her hand and laughed. .
"You really wronged me. I didn't lie to you. They were so seriously injured before that they were already corpses. Aren't they still alive and kicking now?"
"Wasinda! You will be punished!"
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the trembling monster sadly.
The meat ball seemed to recognize him.
"Ether."
Its words are like the accent of two people, with a kind of pathological slickness.
".Serve you. Yes, yes, I will serve you. Kill me, please. I will serve you, kill you. Serve you, kill me."
It trembled again, and the front of its body was stretched out It has several mouthparts and spits out black mucus.
The foul-smelling vomit fell on the red sand in front of Ammon's body, like a pool of pus and blood.
“No!”
The creature suddenly screamed like a desperate pig about to be slaughtered.
"Aether! Please!"
Then it began to hit the cage out of control.
Am'shi closed his eyes in pain, his arms trembled, and he raised his head slightly - he just didn't want tears to fall.
The cheers of the Wasindas around them were so harsh. They were shouting, cursing, and looking forward to killing and blood.
Ammon' Shi knew that now he had a thorough understanding of this race. Their existence was completely based on selfishness and the dual mental and physical suffering of others. They were completely the opposite of the Greater Good.
They must be stopped...
They must be destroyed!
Then, Ammon'shi suddenly opened his eyes, walked to the raised weapon rack aside, picked up his best double-headed long knife, turned it in his hand, and looked at the weapon that hit the cage. The monster whispered softly as if in comfort:
"I am Aether, I will lead and protect you forever."
