Warhammer: I don't want to be a stinky can! ! !

Chapter 760 203. The beginning of terror

[The largest transportation hub of the Tau Empire]

This is a well-ordered planet.

The Titanium people were bustling about, walking hurriedly in the clean, comfortable and tidy streets, seeming anxious and somewhat hopeful. The news of the complete defeat on the front line had not yet reached here, or perhaps it was because their managers were unwilling to tell them about it.

All in all, despite some uneasy anxiety, the Tau here still maintain a high level of work enthusiasm, necessary courtesy and humility. They work according to the Ether work schedule, although their working hours have recently increased by about one to three hours.

Ha'Drian of the Earth Clan walked on the street where he worked every day. He was a VRE-level Earth Clan member. His major was the application of drainage systems in urban ecosystems, and his minor was the connection and optimization of the urban management central system and the drones.

As a VRE, it is in charge of the drainage management authority of a large region and the access rights to all urban drainage structures on the planet. In order to better serve the Greater Good, the drones it carries with it are also connected to the central system core.

Next to it, a member of the Fire Clan wearing XV8 stepped forward from the escort team.

"Sir, we have received a notice from our superiors that we hope you will go out less recently and try not to go to non-work areas except your residence."

Hadrian turned his head and looked at the newly sent guards. He frowned.
"Why? Because you're worried that I'll become one of those people who support Vision?"

The Tau Empire has been extremely turbulent recently. Although the Ethers have tried their best to block the news, they still know that a war has broken out in the Damocles Gulf.

There is no need to worry about the Titanium being passive and slacking off. Under the guidance of the Greater Good, the Titanium who know that the war has broken out will devote 200% of their energy to their work.

The Farsight Enclaves were all destroyed, and the natives there were forced to flee around the Tau Empire. Ha'Drian had to say that the Tau who fled from the Farsight Enclaves were crazy. Not only did they betray the Greater Good, but they also persuaded the Tau to join the Fire Caste and prepare for war whenever they met them - otherwise the inevitable disaster would befall them.

As the largest transportation hub planet in the Tau Empire, Hadrian had also been entangled by that bunch of crazy guys. That day, it had just finished work and was on its way back to the dormitory when it was stopped by a tired-looking Earth Clan member.

The Earth Clan member tightly grasped Hadrian's wrist, his eyes filled with fear.

In the past, Hadrian would have felt sorry for these Titaniums, but now he did not want to provoke these lunatics.

"You are also from the Earth Clan,"

It said, with water in its eyes,
"You need to fight - it's madness, it's madness, they're rotting our flesh with gas and sorcery - ah! ah - no! Give me the breathing mask - the Space Marines filling the planet, the daemons appearing out of thin air, all the Tau need to fight, or we will all die."

Hadrian almost immediately shook off the crazy guy's hand, left in a hurry, and applied for team protection on the same day. One day later, this protection team composed of a mixture of the Fire Clan and alien races stood at the door of his dormitory.

"You may rest assured that I never subscribe to the view of foresight."

Farsight is simply acting recklessly. Now all Tau know that it is making speeches on various planets, calling on all Tau and aliens to unite and take up arms. Farsight's appeal is so strong -

At the same time, for some rebellious Tau, participating in work that does not belong to their own clan is something that fascinates them. Therefore, many Tau choose to support Vision, and even the Water Clan has taken up arms.

In the star fields outside this world, protests broke out on countless planets. Most of the Tau were still unwilling to agree with Farsight's point of view. They believed that Farsight was betraying the laws of their ancestors. Countless Tau high-ranking officials reported the matter to the Ethers, but the reply they received was that due to the war, the affairs of these star fields would be fully under the charge of Farsight.

Hard to imagine.

Due to the way the Human Empire was advancing, the flames of war had not yet spread to the planets of the Tau Empire. The Tau did not understand why Farsight was doing this. Some Tau even claimed that Farsight had deliberately exaggerated the size of the Human Empire - in order to subvert the foundation of the Tau Empire.

After all, they had fought against the Human Empire before, but under the leadership of Commander Shadowsun, they had achieved glorious victory in every battle.

But these doubts were interrupted by Shadowsun's appearance. The most respected commander of the Tau Empire stood behind Farsight, and those Tau who respected the class system and clan system of the Tau Empire had to shut up.

After leaving the Tau who were willing to join the war on the local planet, Farsight forcibly evacuated the rest of the civilians on the grounds of avoiding war. This action also aroused considerable public indignation, but because Farsight and Shadowsun were in charge of all the military forces in this star field, the civilians had no choice but to obey.

These civilians who were forced to evacuate were crammed into an extremely narrow cabin by Farsight and inhumanely taken away to the heart of the Tau Empire - Farsight did not even provide them with enough resting space and food. By getting to this point, Farsight had almost angered most of the Tau in the Tau Empire.

Yingyang was also criticized, but from beginning to end, the Ethers remained absolutely silent, so the public anger could only accumulate but had nowhere to be released.

"Foresight is totally screwing around."

Tushiha'derian commented that they were almost at the dormitory. It turned a corner with ease and walked into a less traveled street. As it was close to the dormitory, the landscaping here was well done. Under the lush greenery, flowers were blooming.

Somehow Hadrian felt that the shadows of the flowers seemed thicker than they were on other days when he came home.

"Is this how it treats the citizens of the Tau Empire? With all due respect, the accommodations it provides are abusive to the Tau, it is using this opportunity to purge dissidents so that its own forces can rise to the top - am I the only one who notices that the army it is deploying is far smaller than the one it recruited? Where are the rest of the troops? It is using this opportunity to hoard its own troops."

Facing the indignant Hadrian, the Fire Clan warrior in front of it coughed awkwardly. It spoke carefully, as if it did not want to anger the Earth Clan.

On the other side, in the team sent to protect Hadrian, the Kroot blinked, and the smelly big guy raised his head and sniffed fiercely in the air.

"Sir, as a warrior, I do not judge my superiors - but the reason I hope you will go out less is that the central system has discovered that Takumi's of the Earth Clan is missing."

The Fire Clan said truthfully.

"?"

Ha'derian was shocked for a moment. Takumi's disappeared? This was a water supply and drainage manager from another district. Ha'derian often interacted with him.

"it……"

Hadrian, who was just filled with righteous indignation, hesitated.
"It's not titanium in my mind that will abandon work in favor of vision... No... That's not realistic."

What they didn't notice was that it was already dark and there were no pedestrians around. The flowers shrouded in shadows among the lush trees even winked at them.

Then its dirty sharp claws and fangs were revealed.

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

"Will we win?"

In the tallest building in the Tau city, Farsight frowned, and dressed in a bright red combat uniform, he looked out at the horizon, where the Tau transport vehicles were busy coming and going.

"No matter what, there is only one chance."

Yingyang said calmly that they were now in the core of Kongyu, the largest central transportation planet. In order to increase the weight of this bait, as commanders, Farsight and Yingyang needed to stay on this planet to lure the enemy to attack.

“But I believe we will win.”

Yingyang said firmly,
"We only have one chance, and you and I have done our best. Xiaowa, look, countless Water, Air, and Earth clans are willing to take up arms. Under your command, the number of our troops has increased by more than 45% immediately."

"No,"

Farsight shook his head.
"Among them are some reinforcements from the heart of the Tau Empire... Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these newly joined Tau is not strong. They have never even experienced the Trial of Fire."

Farsight looked into the distance. Even in the Farsight Enclave, only the Titanium who had passed the trial could pick up guns, rather than directly distributing guns to civilians.

"I'm... sending them to their deaths." Farsight said. This sentence drained all of his strength, making this normally tall commander look listless. However, Shadowsun shook his head and stood beside Farsight.

"You are not wrong,"

Yingyang said,
"We are all right. If we don't do this, more civilians will be sacrificed. Most people in the empire don't know how serious the situation is. If they knew the truth, they would choose to understand you."

The civilians could not accept all this at once. They could not tell them that the Human Empire, which had been defeated twice before, suddenly dispatched an unimaginable army. Their ships destroyed all the fleets of the Tau Empire in the Damocles Gulf as soon as they appeared. In the subsequent planetary wars, the Tau Empire did not even win a single victory.

If the civilians knew about this all at once, they would probably faint. Not all clans are as receptive to war and cruelty as the Fire Clan.

"You should be more optimistic and have foresight."

Ying Yang changed the subject.

"The large force will soon be deployed, and we are just waiting for the human empire's army to arrive on this planet. When that happens, we will shut down the defense system on the west side of the planet, pretending to let them in, and then we can annihilate them."

Farsight nodded. This deployment would involve all the troops on the northwest sides of the empire, as well as eighty percent of the troops in the core area of ​​​​the Tau Empire, plus the militia forces mobilized by Farsight. This was the greatest assembly in the history of the Tau Empire.

But in order not to alert the enemy, all of this was done in secret as much as possible, giving the enemy the illusion that their large forces were retreating through this hub world to the more central areas of the Tau Empire.

There are roughly three weeks left until the enemy arrives. During these three weeks, Farsight will make a final speech on the planet and then forcibly evacuate civilians on the planet who are unwilling to join the army.

Farsight has decided not to retreat any more.

Now, behind it, the Tau Empire's Tau who oppose it have reached a whole new number. If it returns in defeat, all that awaits it will be an indignant judgment.

But Farsight was not unwilling to leave for this reason.

It did not want to retreat any further. It would die alongside its comrades. It could not allow itself to live far away from the Tau Empire.

It wants to fight.

Winning means the rebirth of the entire Tau Empire, losing means death and nothing.

Shadowsun was pleased to see that Farsight seemed to have regained his spirits. The commander was about to continue speaking when he was suddenly interrupted by the alarm of the drone.

When Ying Yang saw the report from the drone, his expression suddenly changed, and he almost screamed.
"Enemy attack!"

It shouted, its pupils trembling as it stared at the image being transmitted back - there, blood and body parts covered the ground, and the dead eyes were staring at the camera in horror.

"Terrorist attack!"

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

[Run, run, my lovely little blue guy~]

The shadow giant called softly, like a skilled hunter playing with his prey. Shadows like the night sky slanted out from under his feet, casting a dark shadow on the bodily fluids flowing out of the Titans.

"No, no, don't kill me!"

Tu was stepping backwards in fear, but his legs were no longer under his control. He fell to the ground and used his hands and feet to crawl out of the street.

Most of its clothes were stained with the corpse fluid of the Fire Caste warriors, and fragments of internal organs and bones were around it. The smell almost made it faint.

[Good suggestion~]

The dirty shadow said, he seemed to be crawling over, with a Fire Clan member making a hoarse sound on one of his arms. Conrad had just popped its eyeballs out and stuffed them into the sniffing slit on the Fire Clan member's forehead.

In addition, he also tore off its limbs and then tied them to its torso in a strange way.

The Fire Caste had not yet bled to death because Conrad considerately used the skin of his comrade to cover his wounds, but because one of them had light blue skin and the other had gray-blue skin, it looked a little funny.

Conrad quickly crawled in front of the Earth Clan. At this moment, the hard-working Earth Clan had already crawled to the entrance of the street. It shouted for help, but it turned its head and saw that almost all the Titans coming and going on the street were standing still because of excessive fear, staring at it with wide eyes.

At the junction of the alley and the avenue, darkness overflowed from the alley in an extremely strange and unphysical way. A leader of the Tu clan, who was almost covered in blood, fell to the ground in embarrassment, and in front of the Tu clan, a sharp fang was shining brightly in the darkness.

[Oh my, you climbed up~]

Conrad said with a smile of pleasure,

【Then please watch it together. 】

The tall Primarch emerged from the darkness, and almost at the same time, the patrolling Drones and Fire Caste rushed over at the same time, and ion streams shot from all directions towards Conrad who was standing upright, accompanied by the screaming and dispersing Tau people.

Conrad did not dodge at all. He stood in front of the frightened Earth Clan and bowed gracefully.

This was like some kind of order. The next moment, the terrifying genetically modified monsters of the human race emerged from the shadows of the entire street. Small giants wearing bloody armor rushed out and almost instantly eliminated all the defenses of the entire street.

The little guy held a long sword and stood at the entrance and exit of the street, stopping the panicked Titans.

[Who moves now?]

Conrad spoke softly, but his voice was so clear to every titanium ear, it was like the words of a devil from hell.

【I will peel off all its skin first. 】

The Primarch smacked his lips, and was somewhat disappointed to find that all the little guys immediately remained still. Perhaps it was because there was no Fire Caste here, and the other clans were more inclined to avoid fighting or obey.

【Alright alright. 】

The Primarch said as he casually threw the groaning Fire Clan member in his hand to the ground. The Fire Clan member made a "snap" sound and exploded like a piece of meat hitting the ground. The whole scene was extremely funny.

Now remember what I said,

Conrad said softly,
[You have three weeks to surrender. During these three weeks, if you do not surrender one day, I will kill one million civilians every day - of course, I guarantee that most of the civilians will die extremely, extremely painfully, because this is the price you pay for refusing to surrender.]

He said as his sharp claws penetrated into the body of the Earth Clan, who let out a blood-curdling scream, before Conrad easily picked out one of its organs with his long nails.

[The good news is, if you can stay still from now on, I will let you go today.]

Conrad thrust his finger with the slimy organ in it towards the mouth of the Earth Clan Tau.
[You have forty seconds to eat it. If you can't finish it, I will put my fingernails into the crack on your forehead and stir it.]

Conrad said that the good news was that there were subconscious vomiting sounds coming from the terrified, motionless, and almost fainted Titaniums - now he had something to play with.
