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

Chapter 751 194. Titanium is in trouble

titanium.

How could Hades have forgotten this?

Perhaps because the other things he faced on a daily basis were more urgent, Hades, who was always busy, seldom thought of this race - after all, the titanium was far from threatening the empire.

Compared to Neos, the gambling king who bet everything, compared to Mortarion, the leader of the heretics in another line, compared to Robert Guilliman, who was always beside Hades and exuded "I see you want to work overtime", titanium? It's really on the edge of titanium.

It was so extreme that Hades wouldn't even think of it on his own initiative.

But now, looking at the battle report handed over by the Raven Guard, Hades suddenly remembered this race that was full of flaws in the original plot.

As a player in his previous life, Hades, who was a member of the Plague Pig Party, didn't like titanium very much, even though in a certain version, titanium was incredibly strong.

In short, the evil GW hit his head one day and decided to create a race that is kinder than the Empire! More high-tech! More dystopian! More race-friendly! More futuristic! A race with a bunch of mechas that don't look like the ones in the Warhammer world at first glance!
Then these blue-skinned fishmen appeared.

By the way, when GW created this race, he also incorporated a lot of existing culture on Earth. Just like the White Scars are space Mongolians, these blue-skinned Titans have extremely strong East Asian culture - especially the chicken feet basin.

If that were all, Hades would not frown upon this race. The problem is, in the subsequent plot about titanium - guess who was used crazily to pad titanium?
That's right! It's the Human Empire!

But if these stories were written logically and in line with common sense, then Hades would still simply be indifferent to this race instead of frowning after seeing the titanium.

The most outrageous war between the Empire and the Tau was the Damocles Crusade between the Raven Guard and the Tau. The Empire first sent out an extremely awesome character - Sevix, the founding chapter master of the Raven Guard.

Then he was padded.

In a stealth personal duel between the Raven Guard, who was best at stealth, and the Tau Shadowsun, Sevix did not realize that the Tau he killed was just a puppet.

The next moment, the Raven Guard who had exposed his position was cut in half by Yingyang, ending his life.

……

If one must explain it, then this failure can probably be explained as a self-destruction of the Raven Guard - but apart from that, in a series of stories about the Tau, the Human Empire contributed some extremely abstract fighting methods.

Another thing that made Hades speechless was that every time the Empire was about to penetrate deep into the Tau territory and wipe out the Tau, the Empire would suddenly shift its strategic goals, leaving the beaten Tau to continue to develop "full of hope".

If you want to kill, you should root out the problem completely!

Hades cried out in his heart with great anguish.

According to GW's description, although this race is not a major concern for the empire now, their extremely terrifying development speed... Shadows coated Hades' eyes, and he thought it would be more appropriate to wipe out the entire race at once.

Compared with the Human Empire, the new race of the Tau can almost be described as the "naive" people with cheats in the Warhammer universe.

First of all, in GW's description, the Titanium are naturally weak in psychic energy, so the technology they create is rarely contaminated by the subspace, so the Titanium pointed out an extremely high-tech route in a very short period of time - finger-driving Gundam (×).

Secondly, the explosion point of Tau development was because a guy who called himself "Ether" ruled over different individuals of the Tau clan:
The Fire Clan is good at fighting, the Water Clan is good at diplomacy, the Earth Clan is good at construction, and the Air Clan is good at flying.

Among them, the Ether undoubtedly became the ruling class of the Tau and the unshakable leader.

The "Greater Good" preached by Ether has become the core culture of the unified Tau people. Under the promotion of the Greater Good, the Tau people rarely fight among themselves. The Tau people believe that they will assume the responsibilities and missions of the clan they belong to.

Because of the ideas of self-discipline, selfless dedication, and universal peace advocated by the "Highest Good", the Tau do not reject cooperation with other races. This is completely different from the extremely racist Human Empire. The Tau will send the Water Clan, who are good at diplomacy, to establish cooperative relations with other races.

As long as you believe in the Greater Good and are willing to submit to the Tau Empire, the Tau will send people to build the surrendered planet - of course, it will not be like the so-called "construction" of the Imperial Mechanicus, which means building a good planet into a hive city.

In the story related to the Tau, after a human hive planet surrendered to the Tau, the Tau actually helped the locals restore the ecological system outside the hive, and then relocated the overly densely populated population out of the hive - this method is obviously more humane than that of the Empire.

But Hades knew that this was just an ignorant act of the new race after not being severely beaten.

This is also why titanium is so out of place in this fucked up world. Before touching on the conspiracy theory of the titanium clan's so-called "ether", this race, with its new vitality, is still fragrant in an environment where everyone is rotten.

This race is too young, so young that they have not yet seen the truth of this universe;

They are so lucky, so lucky that it brings out their almost arrogant kindness;
They have not witnessed the death of their own race, and still retain a cruelty that is so naive it's almost wasteful.

When humans look at the Tau, it is like an old hunter in the dark forest who has suffered a lot and is desperate to survive, looking at a young child who is making a fire and singing in the forest.

Hades rubbed his chin. Mortarion glanced at Hades. Hades was obviously thinking deeply.
When Hades was thinking deeply, his control over the black domain would be slightly worse. It was visible to the naked eye that darkness enveloped Hades. In the shadows, one of the empire's greatest decision-makers was thinking deeply.

The Primarch blinked, and he also pulled out the document that Conrad had brought over, which contained descriptions of the Tau, their fighting style, their social model…poisonous gas was gushing out of the Death God’s gas mask.

Mortarion then proceeded to draw his conclusion directly.

He was displeased with this race.

Konrad seemed to know what Mortarion would think. Curled up in a dark corner, Konrad laughed sinisterly and looked at Mortarion with a suggestive look.

The God of Death treated Conrad as a dead man. Mortarion ignored Conrad and turned to the next page to calculate how many troops the Empire would need to send to eradicate this race.

Although Hades obviously knows more, and perhaps Hades might even say something like "don't kill them all" later, Mortarion is also calculating this matter. What if it comes in handy?

The titanium issue is not a big deal, but it is also not a small deal either. It is really useless.

Hades thought, but the Tau must not be allowed to continue to develop as the technology of this race was developing too fast.

In Hades' view, taking away the technology of the Titanium and then quickly annihilating them would be more in line with the future interests of the empire.

Hades had no intention of showing mercy, the Eldar were all extinct, so why did he keep those blue-skinned fish?
Hades subconsciously reached out for a cookie on the desk and stuffed it into his mouth.

Mortarion glanced secretly at Hades again - unlike the god of death who liked to use poison gas to exterminate an entire race, Hades was not actually a genocide fanatic.

Pluto will make the following judgments on most of the alien races in his path:
Those with good taste are included in the diet, and those with bad taste are used as feed.

Perhaps there are more efficient destinations for these alien races than these judgments, but since it was decided by Pluto himself, no one would question him.

In addition, Pluto will exterminate alien species that are too similar to humans.

It just so happens, Hades thought, an idea slowly emerged in his mind. While Terra is currently doing nothing - throw all these Primarchs who have been sentenced to near-madness out to attack the Titanium and directly annihilate the Titanium in one fell swoop.

By the way, you can also support Corax's legion and collect Titanium technology, killing three birds with one stone.

Just treat it as a vacation for Mortarion and the others, except for the ineffective duel with Guilliman. The God of Death has not stepped onto the battlefield for a long time.

Hades thought about it. After finishing his thoughts, he raised his eyes and stared at the Primarchs who were buried in the office reading the Tau documents.

Hades coughed, and the next moment, everyone's eyes turned to him. Hades spoke,
"I knew about this race before. The Mechanicus once reported it to me, saying that it had an astonishing development speed. However, because the scale of this race detected at that time was too small and the geographical location was too remote, I did not take it seriously."

Hades explained,

"Looking back now, I didn't expect this race to develop so fast - and, Corax, I need to remind you that the technology of the Tau is very strange. I personally think that some of their detection devices will restrain the talents of your offspring." Corax showed a slightly surprised expression, but the raven didn't say anything. He was obviously thinking.

[This race's development speed is indeed a bit weird. 】

This time it was Roboute Guilliman who was reading the document carefully, his brow furrowed, his other hand wiping the sticky marks left by Conrad on his neck anxiously.
Mortarion had already dealt with Conrad, so there was no need for Guilliman to take action again. Moreover, Guilliman read a hint of brotherly care in Conrad's previous actions - so Guilliman decided to let this matter go.

After all, Konrad was calling out for Corax, and Guilliman was a good friend of Corax.

Due to work reasons, Guilliman has not been able to play holographic simulation with Corax for a long time.

[…This is the first time I have seen such an idealistic race.]

Robert said slowly, in fact, this is more naive than he was at first,
[But I think all this is based on the premise that the Titanium is still in the expansion stage, and they have not yet reached the sluggish stage of resource scarcity and technological stagnation. At the same time——]

Guilliman blinked, and a special High Gothic word "Ether" appeared in his blue eyes.

[Contrary to the greater good they preach, this race has clear class divisions, and the Ether is a pure leadership class——]

Guilliman turned another page and looked at the Mechanicus' autopsy report.

[Does the Ether seem to use some kind of pheromone to control other clans? I have carefully read the hormones and thinking patterns of this race. I think their internal structure is not enough to support their high loyalty and cohesion. The Tau are a weak psychic race, so only external interference, such as hormone injection and thinking training, can maintain such a high cohesion.]

As expected of the Lord of Mankind, Robert Guilliman, on the path of how to rule better, perhaps Guilliman has gone much further than they imagined.

But even if they went far, this king who would still blush at Mortarion's provocation would not use some of these methods. He knew that it was only to better prevent these things - except for Vulkan, Guilliman might be the most humanitarian among them.

So what is your suggestion?

Conrad Curze heard the meaning behind the words between the Lord of the Empire and Hades, which made him excited. There was a chance. Conrad licked the corner of his mouth and swaggered out from the shadow in the corner.

There were spider-web-like cracks in the corners of the wall, probably the marks left by Mortarion throwing Conrad against the wall.

Guilliman looked up at Hades, and Hades nodded. The tacit understanding they had gained from months of fighting at their desks and in the workplace immediately made Guilliman understand what Hades meant.

Mortarion folded his arms and sneered.

【send troops.】

Thus said the Lord of the Empire,

[While the Empire still has the strength to spare, we must directly wipe out this new race and not leave them even the slightest room for development.]

Guilliman then looked at Corax and smiled apologetically, as if apologizing for not noticing his friend's irritation.

[Corax, do you allow the Empire to send a few more troops to intervene in the Raven battlefield this time? ]

Corax also smiled. He himself had read a lot of documents about the Tau. The main forces of the Empire in the past to fight against the Tau were the White Scars and the Dark Ravens, both legions that excelled in guerrilla warfare.

But Corax believed that fighting the Tau required a frontal army that could crush them with real strength.

【That’s exactly what I meant.】

Corax said, and then the raven blinked his pure black eyes, and almost subconsciously looked at Mortarion who was watching coldly with his arms folded.

As the Lord of the Empire, Guilliman's legions need to be stationed mainly near important star regions such as Terra, while the current situation of Dorn and the Imperial Fists is unknown. Therefore, now within the Empire's territory, the only force that can withstand ultimate pressure on the front battlefield is the Death Guard.

This is also the only legion with more flexible dispatch. Strictly speaking, as long as the dispatch is approved by the Death Guard commander, Karas Typhon, the Death Guard can go out.

"Mortarion?"

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Hades suddenly spoke. Mortarion immediately raised his eyebrows and slowly lowered his arms.
"Why don't you go and have some fun? Mass extinction war, I think you'd like it."

【Are you going? 】

Hades was silent for a moment.
"I will arrive in the middle or late stages of the war. I have to stay on Terra until the first phase of the genetic modification plan is completed. By then, I will lead the Mechanicus to kill them and collect technology at the same time."

Hearing Hades' promise, Mortarion nodded, and the Primarch was obviously satisfied - in fact, not allowing Mortarion to sit in the office was enough to make the Primarch happy.

【I want to go too.】

Conrad said suddenly, he suddenly jumped to Corax's side, pressed Corax's shoulders with both hands, and made the raven sit steadily in the office chair.

[Our brother's moral cultivation is too high.]

Conrad hissed, and he smiled, almost wrinkling his face into a hideous mask,

[And we have to face a "kind" race, the Corax...]

Conrad laid his dirty hand gently on Corax's neck,
[Let us do the dirty work, you just need to be responsible for reuniting with the kids you haven't seen for a long time. ]

Wait, “we”?

Guilliman suddenly spoke, and he turned his head and saw Mortarion behind him, who was also squinting his eyes and seemed to have started smiling because he was imagining some scenes.

Conrad also turned his head at this moment, and through Corax and Guilliman, the two not-so-good people saw each other's reflections in their pupils.

【Panic and piles of corpses.】

Conrad said softly,
【Poison gas and disease.】

Mortarion also laughed. In fact, even though the legions had different positioning, the two primarchs knew that they had similar views on war ten thousand years ago.

After thousands of years of hatred and loyalty, cursing and fighting, on this rare holiday, in front of the race that made the primarchs extremely unhappy, they achieved their first unity.

[They still see too little,]

Conrad said in a chanting voice and licked his sharp nails. Darkness swayed out from behind him and enveloped the office in an instant. Malice overflowed from his shadow.

【Now,】

[It's time to let them see the malice of the universe. 】

Mortarion and Konrad said in unison that they were not good people, in fact, they were all extremely evil.

The Titanium, this lucky race, does not yet know what they are about to face.

Their good luck ends here.
