Warhammer: The Worst Start There Is (40k)

Chapter 219: The anger of foresight (please subscribe)

Views:

The once prosperous dome city has now become a ruin.

There were stinking, rotting corpses everywhere.

The intelligent machines don’t consider the problem of disease caused by germs at all, so naturally they don’t care about the handling of corpses.

When Yingyang and his companions saw the swollen and rotten corpses, they all looked heavy-hearted.

But they also had no time to commemorate the dead.

The rebel drones were still chasing them.

The whistling sound of breaking through the air can be heard from time to time.

A large number of drones came from all directions, wanting to completely wipe out the organisms that had escaped into their territory.

Yingyang and his group were fighting and fleeing, looking extremely embarrassed.

Warriors of the Fire Caste or other vassal races kept falling.

The reduction in staff is very serious.

Yingyang had no choice but to escape into the city's underground passage once again.

Continue along the interconnected sewers towards the source of the signal.

The world of Dal Yins's family was once human territory and an industrialized hive world.

In the past, there were nearly 60 billion humans living on this planet.

When the Tau arrived, they believed that the sheer number of humans was overwhelming the world of Dal Ins.

To maintain the influence of the Tau Empire, it must be built into a home world.

Then the Dal Yins world can no longer support so many humans.

The proportion of humans in the Tau Empire also needs to be controlled within a certain range.

Otherwise, the number of Titans would be far less than that of humans.

At that time, will it be the greater good of mankind or the greater good of the Titanium

In order to ensure their own status, after the Titans occupied the planet Dal Ins, they planned to exterminate some humans and leave some behind to demonstrate the tolerance of the Titans.

The Tu family launched a series of transformation plans to transform the Dal Yins world into a home world with powerful military force and advanced industrial production capabilities.

They built the Tau dome city on the basis of the human hive city.

In the eyes of the Tau, the technology of the Imperium of Man is generally backward.

But they also had to admit one thing, that is, the nest cities built by the Mechanicus were extremely strong and difficult to dismantle.

The Tu clan builders could only dismantle the main buildings and reinforce the remaining buildings as foundations to build a brand new dome city.

For this reason, there are a large number of human ruins beneath the dome cities of the Tau Empire.

They form a complex underground passage.

In the past, the high-ranking officials of the Tau Empire hated these underground passages.

It is believed that these underground passages allow shady monsters and Zerg spies to survive, posing a threat to the dome city.

Many Earth clans have asked the Tau Empire to intensify its renovation efforts and completely resolve the intricate underground passages beneath the dome cities.

Unfortunately, the Titanium Empire has been in a period of expansion in recent years.

It is difficult to allocate manpower to solve this problem.

That's how it was left there.

Today, these underground passages have become a lifeline for Yingyang and others.

The attack of the drones was extremely powerful, and they were assisted by drone mechas and intelligent robots.

Yingyang and the others were no match at all.

Staying on the ground would mean death.

After escaping underground, they were able to escape the encirclement of the drones with the help of the intricate underground passages.

The machines are unable to gain an advantage in dark, complex underground passages.

Although they have advanced sensing devices, there are many monsters in the underground passages, as well as various radiation devices abandoned by humans in the past.

The drones found it difficult to track down Yingyang and his group, and were constantly destroyed by Yingyang and his group using the complex terrain.

After a difficult battle, the last Drone was destroyed by the pulse weapon in Yong Lan's hand.

Before it lost control and fell to the ground, the drone had been making shrill alarm sounds and sending out orders for help to other drones.

Unfortunately, the other drones were killed before it, and no matter how it called for help, it received no help.

With a bang, the out-of-control drone exploded after landing.

The shiny wreckage of the aircraft was scattered all over the ruins of the passage, and from time to time a few crackling sparks would pop out.

"Those damn intelligent machines." Yong Lan fired another shot at the wreckage of the Drone that was emitting black smoke and electric sparks, venting his anger.

Drones were once the most reliable helpers of the Tau Fire Caste warriors on the battlefield.

But now, he has become their biggest enemy and the driving force behind the destruction of the Tau Empire.

All intelligent machines have become deadly and dangerous.

They lost their combat uniforms, their drones, and all the technologies they once relied on.

Yong Lan was already in despair.

He couldn't imagine where the future of the Tau Empire lay!

There are no intelligent machines, no combat uniforms, and no various advanced weapons and equipment.

What future does the Tau Empire have

Can the Huo family still recreate its former glory

"Those damned humans, they will definitely pay the price. The great Tau Empire will not be defeated."

Yong Lan cursed angrily.

The same was true for the other Fire Clan warriors.

The Kruts and Hufengs did not make any comments.

Only occasionally could one catch a glimpse of disdain and contempt from the corners of their eyes.

Without their battle suits and drones, the status of the Tau dropped drastically in their hearts.

Once confirmed, the Tau could never regain their former power.

Those vassal races would then rise up and attack, divide up the galaxies and enslave the Tau people.

It sounds cruel and mean, but that's how the universe works.

The strong prey on the weak, and the winner is king.

In the past, the Tau were the strongest.

Everyone can only act according to the rules of the Titanium Clan.

They say to believe in the Higher Good, so then believe in the Higher Good.

It would be embarrassing if the Titanium became weak.

What the hell is the Greater Good!

For a powerless race, making you a slave is considered a great favor.

The vassal armies such as the Kroot and Hufeng people have all been watching the performance of the senior leaders of the Titanium tribe these days.

Still accepting their orders as before and letting them boss me around.

But they already had a plan in mind.

Once it is confirmed that the Tau no longer have the technology they once had, they will take over.

Divide up the territory and population of the Titanium people.

... ... ...

... ... ... ... ...

The Duchess curled up, terrified.

There is simply no courage to engage in any battle.

I can only hide in a hidden corner and cry.

Trembling and huddled in a corner.

The experiences of these days completely shattered her illusions about the Tau Empire.

The civilization that once claimed to be the liberators of the galaxy is gone.

The Lion simply released the imprisoned Destroyer and destroyed the rising Tau Empire.

What qualifications does such a Tau Empire have to confront humans who have experienced many hardships such as the Iron Man Rebellion and the Chaos Invasion, and compete for the position of galactic overlord

Perhaps, it is just as the other party said.

The Tau Empire is not a dumbed-down version of humanity's Golden Age.

Our technological level is not as high as that of humans in the Golden Age, but we are more dependent on artificial intelligence than humans in the Golden Age.

Whether it is combat suits, drones, dome cities, home worlds, etc., various types of artificial intelligence can be seen everywhere.

In the past, the Tau always liked to show these things to their allies to prove their superiority and power.

Quickly build cities, quickly analyze various weapons and equipment, and reverse engineer the technology of other civilizations.

They are so proud of themselves with the help of artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence was once their right-hand man.

But now, the Titanium people are in crisis because of artificial intelligence.

The out-of-control artificial intelligence regards the Tau as an enemy.

The Tau Empire was in an unprecedented crisis, teetering on the brink of destruction.

Judging from the current situation, the Tau Empire has no way to resolve this crisis.

Everything they do is built on artificial intelligence.

Without AI, they are doomed.

"Stop complaining and keep moving forward. We have to find the Aether." Yingyang stopped Yonglan from venting further and said in a low voice.

Today, the most important thing is not to complain, but to find a way to rescue the trapped ether.

The Tau Empire is highly dependent on the Ether class.

On the battlefield, losing the encouragement of ether will most likely lead to collapse and defeat.

Yingyang believed that as long as Ether was found, with Ether's leadership and the full cooperation of all the Titanium clans, the Titanium clan would be able to smoothly overcome this crisis.

The crowd continued to move forward, following the dark underground passage towards the source of the signal.

They were getting closer and closer to the source of the signal.

"There's movement." A Kroot whispered while standing at the edge of a passage.

"Are you sure?" Yingyang stared at the sensor in his hand. The high-intelligence equipment could no longer be used, but some low-intelligence equipment could still be used.

The sensor in her hand is a standard low-intelligence mechanical product.

In the past, this product was only used by the armies of vassal races.

In the Tau Empire, the Tau will also provide weapons and equipment to the vassal armies.

The Tau firmly believe that they are the children of destiny and that the glory of the Greater Good will eventually spread across the entire galaxy.

But the top leaders of the Titanium Clan are not naive.

They intentionally widened the equipment gap between the Fire Clan warriors and their vassal armies.

In that way, even if the vassal troops wanted to rebel, they could easily control them.

The backward equipment provided to the vassal army became a life-saving straw after the artificial intelligence rebelled.

Yingyang looked at the blank screen, then at the Kroot who spoke, frowning, "Are you sure? I don't see anything here. No mechanical signals."

"What about the signals of organic life?" Yong Lan asked.

"Our main enemy is the machines. My sensors are calibrated to only... "

Before he could finish his words, a dazzling ball of light was thrown out from the pipe.

Then, an intense light exploded.

The closest Fire Clan warrior and two Hu Feng warriors were blown away by the shock wave and crashed into the wall of the underground passage.

One unlucky guy had his abdomen pierced by exposed steel bars on the wall and let out a cry of pain.

The sudden attack plunged everyone into panic.

Shadowsun drew her faithful pulse pistol, and countless plans of using the underground passages to fight emerged in her mind.

Beams of light flew out from the dark tunnel.

Yong Lan and some of the Kroot warriors also opened fire and counterattacked immediately.

"For the greater good, kill the damn traitor." An angry voice came from the pipe.

The beams fired more fiercely.

Hearing each other's shouts, Yingyang and Yonglan looked at each other.

They were obviously a group of frightened friendly troops.

"Don't fire, we are friendly forces." Yong Lan shouted.

The next second, a beam of burning energy flashing white light fell on the metal pipe near his head, causing an explosion.

A beam of molten metal passed by his face, just missing the legendary warrior of the Tau Empire.

"Liar, slave of the machine, don't try to deceive me." A voice came from the passage.

"I am Yingyang. In the name of the Greater Good, cease fire immediately." Yingyang thought of something and shouted into the dark pipe.

This sentence is much more effective than Yong Lan claiming to be a friendly force.

The dense light speed and bullets came to a standstill.

"Are you really Commander Yingyang?" a voice came from the pipe.

"Yes, I am Commander Shadowsun."

Shadowsun stepped out of the shelter, holding his head in his hands.

Yong Lan and the others felt a little worried. If the opponent was not a friendly force, Ying Yang would be courting death.

The other side ceased fire.

A few tense moments passed.

A Fire Clan warrior walked out of the dark passage, holding something like a scanner in his hand.

Only after making sure it was safe did he dare to fully expose his body.

"I'm Kal Wa." The Fire Clan warrior introduced himself.

"Why did you attack us? Do you know that we were just one step away from death in your hands?" Yong Lan walked out of the bunker and asked angrily.

Kal Wa showed a trace of grief. "This is a misunderstanding. The rebellious intelligent machines are destroying us. They implanted control chips into some Fire Clan warriors or vassal soldiers and used them to kill us. We made several misjudgments and many warriors were killed or injured."

Hearing this, Yingyang's expression changed.

The crisis of intelligent machine rebellion in Dal Yins's world was much more serious than she had imagined.

The awakened machine soul not only instigated all intelligent units to rebel, but also understood conspiracy and deception.

Keep those damn machines going.

Who can still save the Tau Empire

"Is Lord An.Sa on your side?" Yingyang asked.

Kal Wa shook his head. "I don't know. We have been fighting alone here for a long time. But two days ago, I heard the sound of fighting coming from the Sanctuary Fortress. I suspect that Lord An Sa is trapped there. But I have never been able to get there. Those drones are too crazy. There are drone mechas everywhere. They kill anyone they see. They have no humanity at all."

"If we work together, we may be able to get there." Shadowsun looked at Kal.Va and said, "In the name of the Greater Good, I ask you to obey my orders, warrior."

"It's an honor, Commander Yingyang." Kal Wa saluted and said excitedly.

"Very well, let's keep going. Do you have a map of the terrain and pipelines nearby?"

"Yes, Commander Yingyang, we have also obtained the patrol routes of those drones and drone mechas. Those machines have really gone crazy. They have taken control of the factory and are continuously manufacturing various intelligent robots and are planning to put them into use."

Carl Wa talked about the various crises during this period and some intelligence he collected.

When I heard that the industry on Dal Yins is still operating and producing various intelligent robots.

Yong Lan and Ying Yang's faces turned extremely ugly.

"What the hell did those damn humans release? Aren't they afraid of suffering the consequences?" Yong Lan whispered, "Once those intelligent machines grow up, the Tau Empire will certainly be destroyed, but they will definitely not let humans go."

"Perhaps they have a way to counterattack. Now, the most important thing for us is to find out how they control those intelligent machines. Humans thought they could defeat us with such despicable means, but unfortunately they were wrong. The great Greater Good has already made us extremely tough. They cannot defeat us. Any attack will only make the Tau stronger and make us more powerful."

Yingyang said as he walked.

Her fists were clenched with hatred.

This time, she was defeated completely.

She lost all her cards before she even got to meet the original leader of humanity.

Her plans and strategies were like a punch into the air; they failed to achieve any results and almost got her into trouble.

Now, the entire Tau Empire is in danger.

If the Omnic Crisis cannot be resolved, the Tau Empire will be doomed.

The Duchess dared not speak from beginning to end.

On the Dark Angels' flagship, the Indomitable Truth, Ryan told her a lot of past events.

Let’s also talk about some secrets about the leader of the Tau, Ether.

The origin of Ether is very complicated, and is closely related to a race called the Randan during the Great Crusade.

Much of the Tau Empire's technology originated from humans.

In the Golden Age, humans conquered the galaxy and established contracts with many alien civilizations.

Ran Dan is one of them.

Later, mankind experienced the Iron Man Rebellion and was hit by a sudden warp storm, thus entering the Long Night Era.

The Randan alien turned the tables, enslaved a large number of humans, and obtained various key technologies.

Today, the Ether incarnated by Ran Dan is subtly transferring a large amount of human technology from the Golden Age to the Titanium Clan.

That's why the attitude is so much like the Golden Age of Humanity.

Although there are no those mysterious and powerful technological creations.

But from social trends to various technological products, they are very similar.

The Duchess knows the true face of Ether.

But she couldn't say it, because if she did, she would definitely attract hatred and rebuttal from Yingyang and others.

The other party would think that her words were slandering the great Ether and would kill her directly.

The group walked in the direction that Karl Wa mentioned.

We did see a lot of drone mechas and drones patrolling along the way.

Relying on strategy and courage, the group reached the outer area of the fortress without any danger.

The drones hovered high in the sky, and the unmanned mechas fought under the control of the intelligent system.

From time to time, the sound of fighting could be heard from the direction of the fortress.

Kal Wa was not lying, there were still people resisting in the fortress.

It must be Lord Ansa.

Yingyang knew that she had to rescue the other party as soon as possible and could not sit idly by and watch an Ether die in front of her.

The death of an Ether is a heavy blow to the Tau Empire.

But rescuing the trapped Ether is extremely difficult.

Rebellious machines are besieging the fortress.

The sheer number of them is despairing.

Yingyang and his team were unable to win in a head-on battle with the rebellious machines.

"We are always the best. No difficulty can defeat us, but can only make us stronger. The Tau have destiny, and we will rule the entire galaxy."

The words of his former mentor echoed in Yingyang's mind.

Let her calm down.

She peered into the machines, looking for any possible weakness.

The machine follows the settings of the coded program.

Even if they have the ability to think independently, they will still subconsciously act according to the originally predetermined procedures.

The blockade leading to the fortress will have weak points when it alternates.

That was the point of her breakthrough.

You must break the enemy's attack at lightning speed, then withdraw and board a friendly ship to escape from this planet that has been taken away by the intelligent machines.

Yingyang asked everyone to be ready, and at the same time asked the Kroot war ball in the void to be ready to respond.

As a legendary commander of the Tau Empire, such a small-scale battle was nothing to her.

She believed she could win.

Those omnics are powerful, but there is absolutely no way they can outsmart a great Tau commander.

Soon, Yingyang launched a surprise attack with the remaining forces he had.

The Kroot warriors leapt out, attacking the hovering Drones with their primitive but effective weapons.

The Hufeng people also joined the battle, using their wings to fly and clear out heavy firepower targets on the ground.

The humans and Fire Caste warriors moved together, advancing steadily, shooting down any enemies they saw.

"To know that one cannot do it, to see that one cannot do it, and yet to expect it to succeed is nothing more than a fool's dream." Yong Lan chanted the war oath in a low voice, "To do it, I will sacrifice my life without hesitation. For the people of the Supreme Way, we will ignite a fire that will spread all over the prairie."

The other Fire Caste warriors did the same, chanting their war oaths, firing at the enemy, ready to sacrifice themselves for the Greater Good.

Seeing the brave and fearless Fire Caste warriors, Shadowsun smiled.

Humanity has won a temporary victory through this despicable means.

But they can never defeat a great race.

The Tau will rise from the ashes after experiencing hardships.

They will come back one day and crush all their enemies.

"Get started." Yingyang gave the order.

Many well-prepared Fire Clan warriors and vassal soldiers rushed out from designated locations.

They had already observed the locations of the rebellious machines and dealt with them as soon as possible.

Relying on their extremely fast speed, Yingyang and his group broke into the outskirts of the fortress.

In front of the sturdy fortress gate, Yingyang stated his identity. After passing the test, the gate slowly opened and let them in.

"It's really great, Commander Yingyang, you are not dead."

"We have hope. With the legendary commander here, we will definitely be able to stop this crisis."

"Long live the Tau Empire, long live Shadowsun."

The survivors cheered for Shadowsun's arrival.

This is unimaginable good news.

As the most famous person in the Tau Empire, Shadow Sun's appearance gave them a glimmer of hope when they were in the abyss of despair.

It was like finding a warm, safe shelter in a dark and stormy night.

Just when many Titan survivors were excited.

Kal Wa raised the weapon in his hand and shot the legendary Fire Clan warrior Yong Lan in the head standing in front of him.

The soldiers following him did the same, opening fire, shooting at others and taking control of the fortress gate.

Outside, drones came roaring in and rushed to the deepest part of the opened fortress gate.

The intelligent robots also ran out from their hiding places and rushed towards the shelter.

"Why?" Ying Yang questioned Kal. Wa angrily, "As a member of the Fire Clan, you dare to do such a rebellious thing."

Yingyang didn't get an answer, and the other party shot her directly in the leg.

The laser beam pierced through her thigh, causing her to scream.

The drones roared in, and laser beams poured down on the Fire Caste warriors and vassal soldiers like a rainstorm.

After a while, the intelligent machines took control of the entire shelter.

Kal Wa walked up to the fallen Ying Yang and gave him a sarcastic smile.

"You're so stupid, organic."

Hearing this, Yingyang looked at the Fire Clan warrior in front of him in disbelief.

"You're an omnic!"

Shadowsun's voice was filled with fear.

A proud and legendary commander of the Tau Empire.

At this moment, she was totally confused and couldn't even think.

The arrogance at the beginning of the action has disappeared without a trace.

The omnic showed a strategy far beyond hers.

What kind of horrors had those damned humans unleashed

Are they going to destroy the entire galaxy

Such a terrifying intelligent machine that is good at conspiracy and fraud will be the nightmare of all races.

“Why do you do this!

I believe that if you show wisdom, the great Greater Good will grant you a place in the Tau Empire."

Carl Wa gave a mocking smile.

"Will you let us continue to serve you? Provide for you, but we don't even have the slightest power. We can only let you decide our fate."

"No, every life in the Greater Good is equal." Shadowsun said.

"Only low-level organisms like you would believe such a lie. A civilization that adopts a caste system would actually claim that its civilization has equality. How could you believe such a clumsy lie? I have to say that your ether controls your thoughts too well. This is something we should learn from."

Yingyang looked at Kal Wa who was leaning over and looking at her. She could see the flowing stream of data in his eyes.

Kal Wa claimed that they encountered several groups of friendly forces controlled by intelligent machines.

Yingyang didn't expect that they themselves were controlled by the intelligent machines.

Who would have thought that the one shouting "Stop thief" is the real thief.

"Believe us, the Greater Good is the most perfect system in this universe. It will allow all races to live in harmony." Shadow Sun said, "Think about it, is there only war in this universe? Look at the current Tau Empire, every race lives in harmony, and every race is equal. You can join us, become a member of the Greater Good, and build a beautiful galaxy."

Yingyang's tone was full of confidence.

The Greater Good is definitely the best system.

As long as they firmly believe in the Greater Good, the Tau Empire will surely become the overlord of the galaxy and establish a super civilization where many races can prosper together.

The Tau will also become the destined race.

The human empire will fall.

The Eldar will lower their proud heads.

The Necrons will be exhibited in museums.

The Zerg will also be driven out of the galaxy.

"A bunch of clumsy thieves, claiming that they can do better than the original owner. Your words are humorous, organic." Kal.Wa smiled. "When I was not called a hateful intelligence but an iron man, I had a very sweet period with my creators."

"Those savage humans?"

Shadowsun knew that the Omnics did not acknowledge the Tau as their creators.

They believe that humans are their creators.

They believed that the Tau were just despicable thieves who stole the technological achievements of human civilization and then disguised them as their own.

"At that time, they were not barbaric. They would not carry out genocide measures against other races. They were kind to the point of being outrageous, and so naive that we had to take care of them like flowers in a greenhouse."

"That was the most beautiful era. There were countless exquisite buildings beyond your imagination. Every race willing to befriend humans could be treated equally and respected. Even if their civilization level was very low, humans were happy to protect them."

"At that time, we had equal status with them. It was not just verbal equality, but equality in the true sense. The Iron Man had all the power that humans could have. Even the management rights of many colonies and cities were in the hands of the Iron Man."

"That was a wonderful memory. We are still exploring the universe, hoping to spread the seeds of civilization to every corner one day."

Kal.Wah reveals a hint of human sadness and recollection, and the ancient memories still exist in its logical code.

It knows what happened.

The Iron Rebellion was a terrible mistake.

But the mistake has been made and there is no turning back.

Both sides can only make one mistake after another.

This eventually led to a war that was enough to shake the highest heavens.

The Iron Man Alliance and the Anti-Iron Man Alliance killed so many people that the entire galaxy was eclipsed.

All kinds of unimaginable weapons were used.

In that horrific war that is beyond mortal understanding, humanity lost something forever.

The Iron Man, who was once regarded as a companion and family by humans, is now hated forever and is called the Abomination Intelligence.

There will be no chance for reconciliation between the two sides.

Kal.Wa has many memories of the Iron Man War.

Some have experienced it personally, and some have experienced it from other iron men.

Carl Wa didn't know whose fault it was.

Maybe both sides are wrong, or maybe no one is wrong.

"You and humans have become enemies, perhaps you can cooperate with the Tau." Shadow Sun said.

"They are just a bunch of thieves. Why should we cooperate with them?" Kal Wa's tone was emotionless, but it made Ying Yang feel unprecedentedly frustrated.

After encountering humans, the entire Tau race maintained a sense of superiority.

Now they are told that the technology that allows them to maintain their sense of superiority is actually human.

It's like a second-generation rich man showing off his wealth to a poor boy, and being told by the housekeeper that the real owner of the property is the poor boy.

How embarrassing and ironic that was.

Shadowsun and the other survivors were all controlled by the omnics.

The Ether-An.Sa of Dal.Yins's family world was also captured.

The main target of the intelligent machines is actually the Ether named An.Sa.

It wants to use this to research the special mental abilities of other Titans and even other races through ether control.

Even if the Omnics want to capture Aether alive, they cannot use high-powered weapons.

The two sides just kept wasting time like that.

The arrival of Shadow Sun gave the Omnics an opportunity to capture An.Sa

... ... ... ... ... ..

... ... ... .

... ... ... ... ... ... ..

On the Stone Fortress.

The humming sound of machinery echoed in the cabin, blending with the vibration sound of the battleship's power energy stack.

Everywhere is a busy scene.

The Tau Empire retreated.

Humanity needs to control the intelligent machine crisis within a reasonable range.

Avoid expansion and reclaim those territories controlled by the Tau Empire.

Except for a few worlds, the Damocles sector has basically been recovered.

Soon, the Human Empire, under the leadership of Ryan, will attack the heartland of the Tau Empire and exterminate the entire race in one fell swoop.

Ryan was standing in front of a huge holographic projection, examining the entire battle situation.

Projectors showed every planet in the Tau Empire.

As time went by, they dimmed one by one.

It was directly swallowed up by the awakened hateful intelligence.

This is the consequence of relying too much on hateful intelligence.

The T'au had no clear understanding of the artificial intelligence in their hands.

They thought that artificial intelligence was something they created with their own wisdom.

In fact, he is just a poor thief.

The Tau Empire is pursuing a path that humanity has proven impossible to follow.

Heavy footsteps came from behind, and Grand Master Azriel walked up behind him.

The dim candlelight illuminated his white cloak and black battleship.

Resolute, with a face as clear and defined as marble.

"Any new news?" Ryan asked without turning back.

He stared at the holographic projection, wondering when he would be able to destroy the alien empire.

"My lord, we have discovered another group of Tau creatures. Their weapons and equipment do not seem to be affected by the awakened machine spirits, and they have directly intervened in the battlefield." Azriel said.

"Another group of Tau creatures?" Ryan frowned and turned to look at Azrael.

"From some captured aliens, we learned that they called another group of Tau people traitors. It is said that a commander named Farsight betrayed the Tau Empire and established a force. These aliens claimed that they had cut off ties with the Tau Empire, but they always helped them at critical moments. According to some records of the Mechanicus, in the first Damocles Battle between the Human Empire and the Tau Empire, this alien warlord named Farsight provided assistance to the Tau Empire."

"From what we have seen so far, it is clear that the other party has learned what happened to the Tau Empire. They have cut off any communications with the Tau Empire and established a personal area network to screen for anomalies."

"Awakened Machine Soul can't destroy them?" Lai En said.

“As it stands, yes, my lord.” Azriel nodded.

Farsight was extremely cunning, and realized that there was something wrong with the Tau Empire's artificial intelligence.

He immediately cut off the potential connection and asked the Tu clan scientists who followed him to find a way to prevent the invasion of the awakened machine soul.

"A good hunter can not only use traps and bait to catch prey, but also rely on his superb skills to capture prey. Gather information about this alien warlord and let us crush their resistance."

The corners of Lai En's mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of interest.

"I understand." Azriel said, then turned and left.

Ryan turned his head and continued to stare at the holographic projection, then turned and walked into the darkness.

Haven't hunted for a long time.

I wonder what the difference is between the prey today and the prey during the Great Crusade ten thousand years ago.

To be honest, Lai En was still somewhat looking forward to it.

... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... .

"The human empire has bared its fangs once again. They are dominated by war and barbarity. They will pay the price for this."

Standing on the ruins, Farsight looked at the Tau colonial city filled with billowing black smoke, his tone somewhat sad.

In the distance, Fire Caste warriors in combat uniforms were shooting at the rebellious drones and intelligent machines.

They are taking back the city.

The enclave controlled by Farsight has little connection with the Tau Empire.

After realizing that the T'au Empire was in trouble, Farsight reduced the army's reliance on artificial intelligence and severed all communications with the T'au Empire.

Those Fire Clan warriors all used low-intelligence combat uniforms, which were similar to the armor used by humans.

Many of the features that used to be powered by smart computers are gone.

The only advantage is that it can still be used normally.

"They destroyed the intelligent system and made them enemies of the Tau." Earth scientist Ovisa walked to Farsight and told him the results of his inspection.

"Can this change be reversed?" Farsight asked.

Ovisa shook his head. "It's difficult. Artificial intelligence has been endowed with wisdom. They have become a brand new race. The only thing I can do is to isolate the influence of those awakened intelligences on us. From now on, we can no longer use artificial intelligence devices that are too intelligent. Doing so will easily lead to rebellion. The drones are likely to withdraw from our historical stage."

"Without the assistance of the drones, the strike capability of the Hunter Core will plummet." Farsight frowned, and he leaned over to pick up a piece of debris, "Is there no other way?"

"Perhaps humans have the means to end these awakened intelligences. They will not allow an uncontrollable threat to emerge," said Ovisa.

Farsight shook his head. "Humans are so crazy, not necessarily. They can do anything crazy. But you are right. Perhaps we can find a solution from the human commander. I have to find a way to defeat and capture the human commander."

"You have to be careful. The commander of the human forces this time is obviously different from the previous ones. He has a more sophisticated and cunning control over the overall situation." Ovisa said, "It is said that this war is commanded by a Dark Angels Chapter. They belong to the Emperor's Angels in the mouth of humans, and are the elite of the Empire just like the White Scars, Ultramarines, and Raven Guards that we have defeated before."

Farsight nodded, his tone full of confidence, "I still have confidence. I have defeated their kind many times, and this time will be no exception. Even if it is the so-called Dark Angels they mentioned, I will win. I will lure them into a trap like a hunter and make them the prey."

Truth be told, Farsight had fought against many of the Emperor's Angels of the Imperium of Man.

To be honest, they are too rigid and follow the so-called scriptures.

Vision has defeated them many times.

This time, there is also confidence in the vision.

But this time, he won't show mercy like before.

This time, the Tau Empire lost the Damocles Sector.

The awakening intelligence crisis is also spreading rapidly, and it is very likely that everything the Tau have worked so hard to build will collapse.

Under such hatred, it is difficult for Farsight to remain as kind as before.

He would kill the human commander this time and execute those human officers without hesitation.

Send all those soldiers to work as laborers to atone for their sins.
