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

Chapter 762 205. This can be seen, the perspective of Gui?
【? 】

Robert Guilliman suddenly raised his head from the vast sea of ​​text. He blinked blankly, with a hint of doubt in his blue eyes.

"?"

"what happened?"

Hades, who was discussing new Space Marine armor with Finus, asked casually. He was very familiar with the Primarch's actions - usually, this was because some existence in the Warp echoed the Primarch's essence.

[…I feel something is wrong.]

Guilliman spoke slowly, causing Hades and Finus to turn their heads and stare at him. Hades blinked.

"Something happened with Lao Mo?"

Although the probability of this happening is extremely low, it cannot be ruled out.

【Maybe... No, I don't think so. 】

Guilliman slowly raised his hand, lowered his head and was silent for a moment as if dizzy, then he decisively said the name.

【Conrad.】

Guilliman said solemnly,
[It was Conrad—he built a sculpture of me out of Tau, and I felt it.]

Guilliman had not yet finished his words when he felt extremely faint responses coming from the bloody creatures, some of which were even wriggling and struggling.

"???"

Hades neither understood nor respected Conrad's bad taste. He paused and recalled in his mind again how Mortarion treated Conrad.

Finally, Hades came to his own conclusion.

"I don't think they would include these combat details in the war reports."

If Konrad went to show goodwill to Mortarion, then this Primarch who didn't like writing war reports would definitely not write in detail about the Night Lords' war of fear and psychological warfare.

After all, although Mortarion has morals, he has no opinions about aliens. At the same time, Mortarion will remain 100% indifferent and ignore guys he doesn't know.

Guilliman nodded, then shook his head. He seemed a little speechless about what he had just felt in the warp.

[It's okay, I already know about it. When they come back, I will interrogate him personally.]

Guilliman sighed and put his hand to his forehead.

[I should have thought about the purpose of his visit this time - at least in this respect, he has not changed at all. I thought he would be persuaded by Corax.]

[His army's tactics have not changed.]

Finus suddenly spoke up and pointed this out.

As early as the Great Crusade, the Night Lords were not accepted by the Imperium, and there were reasons for that.

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

【You should speed up, Conrad.】

Corax's voice rustled softly over the comms channel, and Conrad tapped the ground beneath his feet impatiently, nodding randomly.

My progress is already very fast.

Facts have proved that the living spectacle is very effective, at least it has brought a lot of psychological trauma to these Tau people. The strategic goal of the Night Lords from beginning to end has never changed, which is to arouse the most instability in the enemy's military morale with the least enemy deaths.

Not only did they want to panic the Tau on this planet, but they also wanted to send this image out so that the gathering armies would realize what they would face if they did not surrender.

Conrad hissed a few times and subconsciously touched the burn mark on his shoulder armor.

[They have been chasing us very closely recently. This is not normal. Mortarion did not tell me that there were so many ground troops.]

Three days after the wonder was created, at least the highest-level Titanium finally reacted. In the city where corpses were observed, at least one squadron of flying columns, including two Mantas, hovered above the city. Countless drones took off, illuminating the night as bright as day.

After realizing that they could not fight the Night Lords at close range, on the tenth day after the establishment of the wonder, after countless arguments and pains, at the suggestion of Shadowsun, the Tau launched a devastating bombing plan for the city.

In other words, in order to keep more Tau alive, these guys finally started pointing their guns at their own people. The area where the Midnight Lords were discovered would be bombarded point-to-point as soon as possible. After the first wave of bombing, the surviving Tau in the entire area would be evacuated immediately, and then the entire blocked area would be completely flattened by artillery fire.

Conrad was holding on to the ground with a bit of annoyance. The Night Lords, a legion that engaged in psychological warfare, had a hard time in protracted battles and fights against large vehicles, and the Tau finally began to annihilate the city's buildings, which was uprooting the foundation of their street fighting.

There was silence on the channel.
[Motarion did provide some new information. They seem to want to do something with this planet. Do you need my help, Conrad?]

[No! Don’t.]

Conrad rejected it immediately. In the dim and dark drainage track of the Tau city, the Primarch raised his head thoughtfully and listened to the vibration.
[My tactics are very successful, I don't need your support. ]

Roughly estimated, the Night Lords killed/tortured about 1% of the population on the planet, and the remaining 99% of the Tau were mobilized. Among them, 70% of the Tau suffered from inefficiency and mental illnesses such as auditory and visual hallucinations due to directly or indirectly witnessing the massacre scene, 11% of the Tau died due to excessive shock, and 18% of the Tau were killed by their own Tau's retreat or bombing.

The Night Lords didn't actually kill many, but they always gave the Tau the illusion that they did.

Perhaps this data will have a large error, but it doesn’t matter. Conrad doesn’t pay attention to numbers.

Although the encirclement in the search for the Night Lords was shrinking, the Night Lord's hand that was provoking their spirits never stopped. Time passed by minute by minute, the sun rose and set, and the Tau adopted the correct tactics, but their spirits were being destroyed bit by bit.

Conrad didn't understand. According to common sense, at this time, the top leaders of the planet should have evacuated long ago, but Shadow Sun and Farsight had been staying on this planet, even though a bunch of Titanium were openly insulting them and treating their lives as worthless.

Isn’t it just a central transportation planet?

Conrad knocked on the metal pipe next to him, making a slight grunting sound.

In order to fight against Conrad, Shadowsun and Farsight completely abandoned the principles that the Tau had always adhered to, which made the armies they led a little restless.

Their evil deeds were not only witnessed by the troops on this planet, but also spread abroad. Among the Tau who did not face Conrad's bloody scene, doubts about the two commanders grew louder and louder.

【they,】

Conrad paused, because there was no so-called "mutiny" in the history of the Tau, but according to the progress, the army had obviously reached the critical point of mutiny.
[They should be about to rebel, but the Tau are too obedient to their leaders, I'm not sure if they will do so in the end. ]

Conrad hopes to time the mutiny as close as possible to the point where Mortarion attacks the planet, which will save the empire the most manpower and resources, which is what the Night Lords have always advocated.

But would the Titanium really rebel? The obedience of these blue-skinned people was frighteningly high. In the past, under such a strong background of building a Jingguan, the enemy would have been demoralized and defeated.

[What are you going to do, the final assassination? ]

【perhaps,】

Conrad mentioned casually, and he knocked on the metal pipe next to him again.
[The commander named Yingyang is going crazy. Haha, it is more effective to keep a madman than to kill him directly~]

[…Then proceed with caution, Konrad. I have sent you the data from Mortarion.]

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

【Military base】

Honk! Honk! Honk!
The sound was crisp, but it seemed to come from a very far away area. Yingyang took a deep breath. The tall Tau man was sitting at the command table in the military base with a tired look on his face.

It was hallucinating again.

Shadowsun sighed and buried his face in his fingers.

How many titanium did it kill?

But it cannot die. On the contrary, it sits in the safest command room on the planet.

In just a few days, Shadow Sun seemed to have struggled in hell for thousands of years. On that day, Farsight forcibly canceled Shadow Sun's bombing order - this rebellious commander still had a kind character.

But when they tried to save the victims afterwards, Farsight was the first to collapse. No medical staff could avoid fainting after seeing that scene, let alone cut and remove the stitches on the titanium bodies by themselves.

In desperation, Farsight had to lead the Fire Clan warriors to try.

When Yuanjian tried to hold back his nausea and insert the knife into the gaps, he lost control and the knife pierced into the flesh of the innocent Titanium. The stinky water splashed onto his eyepiece, and Yuanjian finally collapsed.

Yingyang was standing behind Yuanjian at the time, and he watched Yuanjian let go of the knife in his hand, staggered back and fell, and then howled like a wounded lone wolf - the Fire Clan could no longer control themselves, and Yingyang said nothing. He just walked forward slowly and knocked Yuanjian unconscious.

It looked at the still-living "titaniums", and it even clearly realized that if it left them alone, they could still struggle to survive for a few weeks, and finally die stinking under the scorching sun.

This is the true malevolence in this galaxy.

At this moment, Yingyang knew what kind of devil he was fighting against.

The last string of its rationality, the string called the Greater Good, was completely broken.

It abides by the Greater Good because it wants more titanium to survive - survive, yes, just survive, and not desire more, because it can't desire too much now.

It has turned away from the Greater Good because...it wants to kill them.

"(T45, o865), Order: Aerial bombing."

The bright flames and the screaming of the nightmarish pile of flesh outlined hell in Yingyang's eyes. He saw the pieces of flesh and limbs scattered because of it. The magnificent thing stuck upside down on the cross finally looked at him, as if judging him.

It was sentencing it to a step from which it could never go back.

Then, everything seemed like an illusion. All the Fire Clan commanders knew how to force out the fleas hiding in the city, but no Tau dared to bring it up.

They don't dare! No Titanium dares! Whoever brings it up will be held responsible for the death of these Titaniums!

But there is no time to retreat! All the troops of the Tau Empire are rushing to this planet. There is no time to find a new battlefield. This planet has all kinds of super-large fortifications and missile arrays, which is an excellent defense point for large-scale battles.

Up to now, these fortifications have been heavily guarded, and the enemy has not shown the slightest intention of attacking them - but the city has fallen completely, and the devil is lurking among the civilians, stirring up unrest across the entire planet.

Even the most isolated military bases have heard of the news of those flesh and blood creatures.

Before Shadowsun, no Tau had dared to suggest the idea of ​​pointing missile arrays at cities.

So it was brought up!
Because they can’t retreat! They can’t lose anymore! Abandon conscience or abandon life? Abandon bottom line or abandon the right to live?

If it were Yingyang himself, he would rather die - but he couldn't afford to lose, because he had an entire empire behind him!

If you want to fight the darkness... you can only be more cruel than it.

This was the first truth Yingyang learned.

It was in so much pain and felt so guilty. Although the battle situation on the planet was improving under its harsh tactics, and although it could not capture the enemy immediately, they had successfully driven the Night Lords to a certain area.

The surviving civilians retreated one after another. In order to prevent the enemy from hiding and ambushing explosives, the civilians had to abandon everything they had, and then were stuffed into Manta and forcibly transported to the vicinity of the military base.

There was no accommodation there at all, and the Titans could only snuggle up to each other for warmth in the cold wind of the night.

Farsight left without a word after the coma, and went among the Titanium that followed it from other planets, instead of coming back to see the tragedy on Earth.

Shadowsun did not reprimand Farsight for this, for it knew that no amount of titanium could take it.

Even it itself can't hold on any longer.

Honk! Honk! Honk!
The vague auditory hallucinations appeared again, as if they were closer to Yingyang. The exhausted Tau habitually ignored them. The explosion that day had left an indelible trauma on its mind. It began to see and hear hallucinations.

After meeting with alien civilian representatives one day, Yingyang even began to have nightmares. It seemed as if it was in some kind of chaotic ocean, and it caught a glimpse of some huge blue creature in the distance, looking at it with compassion.

It's going crazy.

Yingyang was clearly aware of this, but no Titanium was willing to share his suffering. All Titanium were staying away from this Titanium-killing demon. The only one who came to persuade him was the human guard from before.

"Commander, your choice of cruelty does not mean that you cannot embrace peace and beauty again. You must hold on - you are the last hope."

The human said with tears in his eyes, holding Yingyang's hand tightly.

The last hope?
Shadow Sun thought sarcastically, and it seemed to begin to rebuke its previous naivety. It subconsciously looked at the reports from within the Tau Empire - this seemed to be some kind of sustenance.

Since the Human Empire launched its attack, the Ethers have begun frantically attempting Warp navigation, and the Earth Castes have therefore created a large Warp chaos zone in the core area of ​​the Tau Empire.

Want to run through the subspace?

Yingyang thought exhaustedly that it would never think so in the past, but the human empire has taught it what darkness is. It is difficult for it to accept the actions of the Ethers, but reality tells it the answer.

At this moment, perhaps only Sanguinius, who was once on the dark side of the Empire, could understand the despair of this little Tau.

For the sake of his own race, he stepped into the river of sin, but was still abandoned by the empire and the people.

+my child,+
The soft sound like sobbing echoed in Yingyang's ears, but the Titanium Clan, who was under too much pressure, seemed to hear nothing.

+My child!+
There was another urgent call, and Shadowsun suddenly looked up and looked around in panic. The Tau man realized in despair that he was hallucinating again.

+This is not an auditory hallucination, run! Run! Run! Get out of here! +
Yingyang stood up suddenly, but the voice was really calling him. He couldn't bear it any longer and chose to obey the kind voice. He ran out of the office, trying to find the source of the voice.

boom!
The door to the command room was slammed shut.

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

【? 】

Conrad stopped banging on the metal pipe.

The Lord of the Night raised his head in confusion, his eyes seemed to penetrate the floor as he looked at the empty command room.

He was discovered? This shouldn't be the case. In order to avoid the Tau's detection methods, only Conrad came alone for this operation.

Conrad paused for a moment, as if wondering what had happened, and then immediately began calling Mortarion.

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

【Toughness】

Poison gas...poison gas...wonderful poison gas~
【? 】

[Mortarion! I found a Tau who can use psychic powers!]

【Oh. 】

[No - Oh! That's at least an Alpha Plus, or something even stranger - No, it's impossible! Unless it's a lesser god, it's impossible to see through my invisibility! ]

【Um. 】

[Are you listening, dirty gas canister!! Don't tell me you don't want to take a vacation again! ]

The hand that was shaking the test tube suddenly stopped, and a wisp of green smoke floated out of the mouth of the test tube.

[On the contrary, Conrad, there will be a major war soon, a war that will directly defeat the Tau Empire.]

Mortarion said calmly,
[I suspect that the Tau are going to make a fool of the Empire on your planet. We have observed at least two quasi-star-destroying weapons disappear in that star region. It will not be easy to fight next. I think they have mobilized more than half of the Tau Empire's military.]

[…You already have a solution? ]

【Yes. 】

[Do you really have it, or are you just being arrogant? Did you see the footage I sent you - you can directly deal with those fortifications on the ground? Mortarion, you really think you are a piece of cake, are you kidding - wait, don't hang up! ]

Snapped.

The communication ended, and Mortarion ignored Conrad's weird cry and continued to make his potion.

Only he knew, what was going to happen next—

Stable.

Lesser gods? Those weird high-tech armors of the Tau.

Seconds, what is there to say.
