Chapter 79 Titanium King? The Greater Good, great! (IV)
[In the second week, the airborne corps is still resisting tenaciously.]
[Thanks to your trenches and underground passages, the various companies barely withstood the Tau Empire's bombardment.]
[The Tau Empire had to send more Kroot who were good at close combat to continuously attack the trenches and even go deep into the underground tunnels to fight you.]
[Today, most of the ground buildings of the Tamsui Factory have been reoccupied by combat uniform teams.]
[Your company launched several attacks in succession, trying to seize the position again, but always retreated due to the lack of heavy weapons. ]
[Because the company commander who led the troops was seriously injured and on the verge of death.]
[You chose to obey General Saikawa's orders and temporarily took over the command of the entire company. ]
[You order the tired soldiers to take turns to rest and try to save ammunition. ]
[You began to lead some soldiers who were good at close combat to wander through the underground passages, desperately resisting the Kroot's never-ending attacks.]
[In the third week, you wielded the power sword with a numb expression, smashing the enemy's homemade weapons and easily chopping off his head.]
[A large amount of smelly blood splashes on your carapace that is on the verge of breaking.]
[Because your helmet was lost in the last battle. ]
[You could only wipe the blood off your face and gasp heavily.]
[In recent times, the Tau Empire seems to have slowed down its attack on the underground passages.]
[You were gradually surrounded and separated, and you also lost contact with other companies. ]
[Now, the company you lead has suffered heavy casualties, with only about fifty people left.]
[Although a lot of ammunition was saved, the food supplies have been consumed. ]
[Everyone can only fill their hunger by drinking water. ]
[After taking a breath, you glanced at the alien corpses at your feet and quickly retreated to the rear.]
[You have just returned to a large excavated tunnel.]
[A pale-faced soldier comes up to you. ]
["Captain, something is wrong…" the other person whispered in your ear.]
["What happened? Did you encounter the Kroot Ape again?" You asked expressionlessly. ]
["The other teams had a brief communication with some Tau people who could speak the Imperial language... General Sekava was captured, and the other company soldiers have chosen to surrender!" The soldier's eyes showed hesitation, and he gritted his teeth and said. ]
[You took a deep breath and fell silent. ]
[You thought for a moment and asked the soldier to notify the entire company to assemble.]
[Soon after, the remaining soldiers gathered in front of you.]
[You glanced at the familiar faces that were pale from hunger.]
["Where's the white-haired guy?" You didn't spot the familiar big-headed woman among the crowd.]
["Report to the company commander… the white-haired guy just died." A soldier who had lost half of his arm raised the stump, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes. ]
[You let out a sigh and dropped the power sword in your hand.]
["You knew the current situation earlier than I did…" You were silent for a while, then spoke slowly.]
["So, I will not stop any of you from choosing to surrender. According to what I know about the Tau people, they also welcome you to join the Greater Good…"]
["You may gain more than the human empire can give you...far better food than before, far better lifestyle than before..."]
["You will gradually despise and even hate everything about the human empire. However, this may be the price you have to pay for choosing to live."]
["Now, those who choose to leave, please leave your weapons and ammunition to your comrades. Soldiers who wish to stay should not be impulsive, as that is their personal choice…"]
[You picked up the power sword that was thrown aside and walked out of the alley without looking back.]
[The soldiers who stayed behind looked at each other, maintaining a strange silence.]
[In the end, the number of soldiers who chose to stay reached thirty-five.]
[You order the remaining soldiers to organize the remaining equipment and prepare for the final moment.]
[In the fourth week, you led the malnourished soldiers out of the underground tunnel.]
[However, just when you are about to face the enemy's powerful firepower. ]
[A large group of drones slowly arrives in front of you.]
[You scanned the surroundings and did not find any Tau enemies.]
[You raised your hand to stop the soldiers from firing their guns.]
["Brave warriors from the human empire, lay down your weapons. You do not have to fight a battle that will surely lead to your death. Even your generals have surrendered to the great Tau Empire…"]
[Accompanied by a strange tone of imperial language.]
[Countless drones projected blue light and shadows, quickly forming a tall virtual image.]
[It seems to be a Tau Ether dressed in luxurious clothes, and is also the leadership of the Tau Empire. ]
[You stare at the virtual image in front of you expressionlessly.]
["As long as you surrender your weapons... join us and listen to the teachings of the Greater Good, you will gain the infinite goodwill of the Tau Empire..."]
["Let our many races live in peace and work together to make greater contributions to the future of the entire universe…"]
[Ether, dressed in gorgeous clothes, waves the scepter in his hand. ]
[It attempts to use words to undermine your fighting resolve and gain your submission.]
[However, just when the other party was about to continue. ]
[You slowly raised your power sword, interrupting the opponent's performance.]
["Have you ever met Necrons? Have you ever been eaten by the Great Devourer? Do you think those howling green-skinned orcs are hopeless?" You stared at the tall virtual image of Ether, the tip of the power sword pointed at the other's head. ]
["…You don't even understand the nature of the subspace!"]
[A sarcastic smile suddenly appeared at the corner of your mouth, and you said to Ether.]
["In this cold and dark universe, weakness and ignorance have never been obstacles to survival...arrogance is."]
[However, your words seem to have caused great displeasure in Ether.]
[The tall virtual image disappears instantly.]
[The large group of drones that surrounded you did not attack you, but instead quickly flew back.]
[You showed a look of disdain to the soldiers who were looking at each other in bewilderment, causing them to laugh softly.]
[At this moment, on the horizon a few kilometers away. ]
[One after another, the Tau missiles quickly took off, streaked across the sky, and slammed down towards your position.]
[You stare at the falling missiles and sigh helplessly.]
[Your expression is solemn, and you straighten your back.]
[You turn around and salute the soldiers with calm eyes.]
["Comrades, see you in the next life!"]
Well, I have basically finished writing about mortals. I will basically write about Astartes in the future, unless it is a functional mortal unit.
Thank you for your support!
