Warhammer, about my years with the Wolfpack

"A relic of an ancient civilization, or rather, an advanced warp engine, but we've transformed it into a weapon, a weapon that can temporarily tear apart the veil between reality and the warp," Farsight said grimly. At this moment, he spoke the truth to Ahriman.

"How tragic! No one from that fleet will return alive." Ahriman's expression changed slightly.

"That's right. They are all heroes for civilization, and all we can do is to make their sacrifice worthwhile." Then Farsight stopped looking at the fleet responsible for interception. He stared at the Zerg fleets in the distance that had been beaten to pieces, and the ancient ship that was gradually exposed.

When the Breaker overloaded its Ancient jump drive, temporarily creating a massive space-time rift that sucked several Zerg warships into the Warp and created a temporarily insurmountable rift, Farsight's final blow finally began. Led by the Farsight flagship, a dozen well-conditioned Guardian-class warships launched the attack. While the other warships dealt with and suppressed the Ancient Ship's escorts, Farsight's warship, like a sharp blade, went straight for the Ancient Ship.

"All fire! Unleash all your aircraft and torpedoes!" Following Farsight's command, thousands of various aircraft and a vast array of torpedoes roared out, forming a blazing curtain of light that hurtled into the distance. The T'au believed that with so many aircraft and torpedoes, even a solid iron tortoise over ten kilometers across could be blasted to pieces!

"Alas, you are still too young." Ahriman glanced at the Ancient Ship in the distance which was surrounded by carrier-based aircraft and torpedoes and sighed.

Although the Tau's powerful blows hadn't yet landed on the enemy, Ahriman had already witnessed the outcome. He felt the terrifying psychic energy pulsing from the Ancient Ship's hull, and through his prophetic powers, he foresaw the outcome of this round of attacks: all carrier-based aircraft and torpedoes would be destroyed in a psychic explosion! The Tau's vaunted electronic equipment was a joke in this level of psychic storm.

"What is this?" As a visible ring of white psychic light spread outward from the Ancient Ship, everyone stared in amazement at this terrifying light, brighter than a star. Although in a vacuum, every Tau felt a faint sense of a terrifying presence emitting a heart-pounding roar, and even the weaker ones collapsed to the ground.

Next, when the psychic halo covered the incoming aircraft and torpedoes, even on the Manta bombers protected by deflection shields, all the electronic equipment overloaded and collapsed in an instant. Short circuits and psychic flames instantly engulfed the Tau aircraft and torpedoes, turning everything into a sky full of flames.

"That's it?!" Yuanjian looked at the aircraft groups and torpedoes being engulfed by psychic flames in the distance, and he was a little stunned at this moment. He couldn't understand what kind of power could be able to destroy the aircraft groups and torpedoes released by a dozen aircraft carriers in one wave!

And then, the terrifying existence in the distance seemed to no longer be prepared to continue disguising itself. The hive mothership, which was slightly larger than the average Queen of Glory, began to turn around and rush towards the fleet of Foresight, looking at the hyena in front of it like a dinosaur, full of mockery.

Chapter 524 Escape and ascend to heaven

"Its shield seems to have been cleared at this moment?" Farsight looked at the video footage of the ancient ship coming out from the front, and could see dense craters on its thick chitinous shell. If he guessed correctly, these should be the scars left from the previous battle with the Imperial Fleet. Some of the scars were so obvious that they have not been completely repaired until now.

"Does that mean we still have a chance?" Farsight recovered and looked at Ahriman.

"Don't even think about it! Commander, this is something your warships and technology can't handle. Look at this scar, it was left by a nova cannon on a Mechanicus Ark. If it were an ordinary warship, even a large cruiser, its keel would probably be pierced by a single blow, just like the warship under our feet. But look at this guy opposite, such an attack only causes it pain." Ahriman said.

"Then how did humans defeat these horrible guys?" Farsight said in disbelief.

"Haha, I don't know either, but what I can be sure of is that no one wants to see those horrible things actually appear in front of you." Ahriman said.

"Retreat! The later we retreat, the greater our losses will be. And new enemies have already entered the battlefield!" Ahriman was filled with helplessness. The Tau were bound to lose this time, because he had already felt that a new Zerg fleet had appeared at the edge of his perception. Just as he had expected at the beginning, the Zerg had already calculated everything!

However, can you just retreat now? Have you asked the Ancient Ship and the twisted shadow behind it? Soon, accompanied by a psychic wave, some warships in the Tau fleet suddenly discovered that their communications were being disrupted! Farsight's strike group bore the brunt of the impact. In an instant, communications with the entire fleet were severed, and some antennas were even overloaded from the attempt to force communication.

The huge ancient ship began a conventional attack. The dazzling and deadly plasma beams and huge biological shells told the Tau people that even in conventional combat, this battleship was still beyond the level that the Tau people could cope with. The huge plasma shells drew deadly arcs in the galaxy. The accuracy of the ancient artillery fire was no less than the result obtained by the Tau people's AI after complex calculations.

The firepower unleashed by the super-capital battleships truly shocked the Tau once again. They were astonished to discover that a ray of light fired from the Ancient Ship had penetrated the shields of a Hero-class cruiser, slicing it in half like a hot knife through butter! In front of this powerful Ancient Ship, if the former were a dinosaur, the cruiser-class battleships were a herd of rabbits. And the Guardians were nothing more than a pack of jackals. The latter's barrage of shells landed on their targets, and even without shields, they only left a few craters, unable to penetrate even the outermost layer of armor.

(During the Battle of Hades, the Imperial Navy discovered that the Tyranid warships that emerged from the asteroid belt were incredibly tough, and even ordinary macrocannon shells could not penetrate them. The Empire believed that the harsh environment of the asteroid belt had promoted the evolution of the Zerg.)

And everything that followed was even simpler. Looking at the Tau fleet that had almost invested all its strength, the Ancient Ship used its psychic power to suppress the latter's communications, and then joined forces with the Zerg fleet that arrived one after another to encircle and kill the Tau fleet that was in chaos.

"This is not a battle, this is a massacre!" Ether Andu said in horror. Meanwhile, Farsight was still trying to reestablish communication between the fleets, and ultimately chose to use light signals, a primitive but effective method, to rebuild the chain of command.

"Alternate cover, prepare to withdraw from the battlefield," Farsight finally ordered. To outsiders, it seemed he no longer hoped to kill his opponent, but rather to escape. The T'au fleet's retreat only intensified the Zerg fleet's arrogance. Everyone could sense a terrifying mental pressure gradually descending upon the entire fleet.

"Let's evacuate here!" Farsight personally commanded the flagship to sail through a belt full of wreckage of various warships and asteroids. The light blue deflection field pushed aside countless fragments, and some large pieces of warship wreckage became the protectors of the Tau fleet. Many acid shells and light spears from the Zerg shot at the meteorites and warship wreckage, blocking the deadly attacks from a distance.

This action irritated the Zerg mothership, which was already doomed to fail but still resisted. After a brief moment of deliberation, the Ancient Ship, under the cover of several Zerg warships, also rushed into the asteroid belt, attempting to quickly eliminate the enemy.

"Our ships are far less sturdy than the Zerg's. There are too many meteorites and debris here. Our shields can't withstand all the impact. Perhaps we will be destroyed by the harsh astronomical environment before the Zerg fleet destroys us!" An Air Caste officer pleaded with Farsight to find another way. Farsight's response was simple: with a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to pull the enemy away. At this moment, he was desperately trying to survive.

The Ancient Ship thrives in the asteroid belt. The huge debris impact that threatens ordinary warships is nothing but a joke to it. The huge hull will smash the oncoming wreckage and asteroids. The complex biological sensory equipment searches for enemies in the void. When a Tau warship emerges from the asteroid belt, it is greeted by the Ancient Ship's violent attack. The dense acid cannons and biological plasma can easily evaporate the target.

Amidst the joyful slaughter, the Ancient Ship and its escorts lost touch. These warships, barely seven to nine kilometers long, struggled to move through the asteroid belt. They tried to catch up to the flagship, but the Ancient Ship, addicted to killing, paid no attention. After all, the information it had gathered indicated that the enemy's attack methods were limited, relying too heavily on aircraft and torpedoes. And now, the Ancient Ship's psychic energy bar had refreshed. At this moment, the Ancient Ship felt fearless.

"He has other plans." Ahriman looked at Farsighted, who was concentrating on commanding the fleet in the distance. While the alien's tactical skills seemed immature to him, they were still excellent considering his experience and age. Most commendable, in such a critical situation, he remained calm in command of the fleet, even looking for opportunities to strike back.

"Its next target is your flagship, Vision. I hope you won't let me down." Ahriman said silently in his heart as he looked at the huge body outside the porthole that was becoming clearer and clearer. At the same time, he did not stop working. He was ready to open the door and run away if the situation got bad. The only thing that made him feel sorry was that it was not easy for him to get this identity and make it to the top.

In the end, Foresight did not disappoint Ahriman. All the arrangements he had made before, including the fleet's alternating cover retreat and attracting the Zerg to the asteroid belt, allowing his warships to be destroyed one by one by the Ancient Ships, had now paid off. Behind a huge meteorite, a Messenger-class warship equipped with a cloaking device and loaded with terrifying weapons was hidden here.

The chaotic environment of the asteroid belt severely weakened the Zerg's detection capabilities, and the numerous meteorites also slowed down other Zerg warships. The successive kills made the Ancient Ship bolder, and when the huge warship passed by the meteorite, the vortex ammunition inside the Messenger-class small warship was detonated. This weapon also came from an accident. The Tau people didn't even have weapons to launch this kind of ammunition, so they could only treat it as a mine!

In an instant, a smiling space-time vortex appeared in the universe. It was only the size of a needle tip at first, and in less than a second, it shattered the weapon-carrying Messenger-class battleship into atoms, followed by the nearby meteorite. The huge and terrifying energy tore through the barriers of space and time. More importantly, this attack was so close to the Ancient Ship that it couldn't even react!

The terrifying space-time rift finally reached the Ancient Ship, which, horrified to discover it had been tricked, began to flee. At the same time, powerful psychic energy burst forth from it, attempting to erase this fragment of reality. The psychic light and the black space-time rift collided and shattered continuously.

Ultimately, however, the forbidden weaponry carried by the small starship inflicted immense damage on the ancient vessel. A fragment the size of a Nemesis was torn from the vessel, dissolving into nothingness in the spatial rift. A vast mass of body fragments and biomass was scattered into the air, forming a cloud hundreds of kilometers long. The corrosive fluids within even dissolved asteroids. It began to wail as it retreated from the battlefield.

The Ancient Ship's agonized wail instantly transmitted across the psychic network to the entire Zerg fleet. The repeated mental aftershocks sent the Zerg fleet into chaos. Small warships panicked and scattered, while the larger warships seemed to have ground to a halt. This finally gave the T'au fleet, already under immense pressure, a respite.

"Can we destroy it completely?" Ether Andu asked, looking at the ancient ship rolling and wailing in the distance.

"We only repelled it temporarily. Now, more Zerg tendrils have surged forward. We only temporarily halted their actions. The Zerg mothership has begun rebuilding its command network, and the chaos won't last long." Farsight rejected Ether's suggestion without hesitation. Now Farsight only wanted to return home with his fleet.

"We killed this monster, didn't we?" Ether Duan spoke again.

"It was just defeated and injured. This kind of damage is not irreversible for a monster of this size." Yuanjian was stunned for a moment, and then told the truth.

"It's been severely damaged. It won't survive, Commander Farsight. I understand your perspective. You're an honorable, upright soldier, and your mission is to serve as the sharpest sword in the hands of the Greater Good. We are different. We have the concerns of civilization as a whole to consider." Andu waved his hand, signaling the others to move away. He wanted to speak to Farsight alone.

"Before setting out, we brought with us nearly the entire fleet the Empire could mobilize, nearly 300 capital ships. But now, after a major battle, we've lost half of those ships, and tens of millions of lives have been reduced to cosmic dust. This is a colossal setback, one even the Empire cannot tolerate! And if we can't even achieve a commendable victory, do you know what consequences this will cause for civilization?"

"We are not lying. We believe that this behemoth would not survive after suffering such a devastating blow. Perhaps it is just because of your conservative point of view that you think it was severely injured rather than killed. But I think the other clans participating in the war and most of the Fire Clan officers will agree with my point of view." Ether Andu said.

"You are covering up the truth. Just like you did before, like when I discovered those horrible red winged monsters in a battle on a certain planet. I reported it to you, but in the end you asked me to keep it secret. It's hard for me to understand why you didn't tell our people about such a dangerous thing and let them guard against it?" Vision said angrily.

"Because it's dangerous, we can't tell them! Knowledge in this universe can be very dangerous. This is a form of protection for them." Ether Andu paused before continuing. "Don't mention this again, Vision. You agreed at the time to keep this secret forever!"

"That's it, Vision. We're exhausted both physically and mentally after this battle. There's no need for us to dwell on trivial matters. I even think that more Fire Caste warriors believe that we have successfully completed a decapitation operation this time." Ether Andu waved his hand, signaling the end of the discussion.

"I will arrange the relevant matters next, and you just need to bring our fleet back." Ether said finally.

"Alas, another person forced to be forced by reality," Ahriman sighed inwardly. Through the power of a higher dimension, Ahriman understood what the two men were saying. In his opinion, both sides had their reasons. Should the public be kept in the dark about demons? In fact, while the humans on this plane didn't say that anyone who saw a demon must be dealt with, they also held the view of secrecy.

As for Farsight, he at least maintained a pragmatic attitude towards the outcome of this battle, believing that this matter should be made clear so that his subordinates would have a better understanding of the future battle situation. However, the Ethers had more ideas, after all, morale and spirit are very mysterious things.

Ahriman had seen many similar dramas over the past ten thousand years. He was quite indignant at first, but after experiencing so much, he got used to it.

Chapter 525: Interlude and Dispute

"The situation on TAU is already very bad. This commander named Farsight may have realized that the Tau have a great chance of losing in this battle, so what will he do? Ask for help from the evil god behind the scenes through that demonic weapon? Or choose to trust the Empire? I am looking forward to the choice you will make." Ahriman said in his heart.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Farsight will soon be confused, and if the Khorne demon is watching here, he will try to contact Farsight, he will make a decision, and I will act according to his decision. And Tzeentch." Ahriman carefully planned his plan, and at the same time, as Ahriman expected, Khorne's subordinates had begun to watch the Tau who were in danger through the Blade of Dawn.

On a planet where the Tau had just "naturalized", a group of guys called "Horned People" by the Tau were discussing a shocking conspiracy. The "Horned People" did exist, but unfortunately, they were now either possessed or possessed, and an entire civilization just disappeared. Although Khorne's performance was a bit disappointing when facing humans and the gods of order, it was a piece of cake for him to deal with some fragile civilizations!

----------

"The Fire Clan within this civilization is very much suited to our Lord's preferences. They enjoy war and excel at it. Although they are far inferior to humans, they can serve as a lower-level substitute."

"Now that they are in trouble, it is time for them to feel the glory of our Lord and convert to our Lord." A Khorne Daemon Prince said to Angron.

"I agree with you, Ash Slayer. What you said makes sense. But it's not comprehensive. In fact, besides the Fire Clan, the other clans are also our targets, except for the Ether," said Angron.

"Is it because Tzeentch has already set his sights on the Aether?" asked the Daemon Prince Ashslayer.

"No, because we do not need a middleman. All Tau people should be loyal to the great Khorne," said Angron.

"If these Tau refuse to obey our orders, will they be exterminated? Will we join the Tyranids in destroying this young civilization?" asked the Daemon Prince.

"Our time here is limited. No matter where you operate in the galaxy, and no matter how much advantage you gain, you should be sure of one thing: the destiny of this era belongs to mankind, my father, and the gods of order. All we can do is take away some things when they turn their gaze here. That's it. We are a group of thieves, taking a little bit of stuff while the giants are dozing off." Angron said seriously.

“This is really….”

"Such is life, young Daemon Prince," Angron sighed. "But we are a little luckier this time. Tzeentch also has ambitions for this young civilization. And the Tzeentch Daemons are even my brothers, so they will help us draw some of the Empire's firepower."

"Okay, let's go check out the equipment the Tau have prepared for us. Although these equipment aren't as good as the Empire's, they are larger in quantity. Let's hide those demons and demon engines. We just need to send out some believers now," said Angron.

Farsight's initial defeat was a huge shock to the Tau. While the Ethereal Hierarchy touted it as a great victory, claiming the battle destroyed a key node in the Tyranid Swarm, effectively wiping out the organized Tyranid fleet and reducing it to a swarm of beasts, propaganda was propaganda, and the higher-ups wouldn't believe it. As an ambitious and proactive race, the Tau had already begun preparations for the next, even larger-scale war, one of which included recruiting more cannon fodder from allied races!

The "Longhorned Tribe" composed of Khorne believers are excellent cannon fodder in the eyes of the Tau.

--------

"Sir, are you truly planning to recruit these Horned Tribe into our army?" asked Han Feng, the Fire Caste's high-ranking commander, looking at Ether. "This race has only recently joined us, and we know very little about them. Furthermore, their genetic makeup is incredibly complex, almost like the product of some genetic engineering. Some possess mostly human genes, while others have mastiff or avian elements. I've never seen such a chaotic genetic sequence, even more so than the Kroot."

"And they are too bloody and warlike. Even the Kroot people think these guys are too cruel. Many of them are born for killing, and use bloody sacrifices to pray to a virtual existence in their hearts to gain power. This is completely contrary to our creed." Han Feng expressed his vigilance and uneasiness about this new vassal civilization without hesitation.

"Humanity is a race with a long history, spread throughout the galaxy. Over the course of time, humans have actively or passively modified their genes to adapt to different environments. For example, space dwarves, Ogryns, and Leicesters all do this. Therefore, it's not impossible to find a remnant of humanity on the fringes of the galaxy."

"We have tolerated many alien forms, including the Kroot, who sometimes eat intelligent species, the Wasp, who resemble giant humanoid insects, and some creatures that have no humanoid form at all, and they can all contribute to our cause."

"Of course, I understand your concerns, but as a high-ranking commander, don't you realize what we are facing? We tried our best but only managed to repel a hive tendril. Our best commander returned with the fleet after paying a heavy price. We have no choice now." Ether said.

"These guys seem to have some kind of irritating ability. When our warriors fight against the orcs side by side with them, we warriors always have all kinds of inappropriate impulses. Even as the battle becomes more intense, our people will become as bloodthirsty and irrational as them. These guys are hidden dangers on the battlefield." Han Feng said.

"So they're just cannon fodder, a cheap expendable commodity. They'll be grouped up individually and thrown into battle."

"I don't think this is enough. They possess strange powers, similar to psychic power, but not entirely psychic power. Their sacrifices do seem to have some effect. They can gain strength and heal their bodies from blood and killing. These are beyond our understanding. If I want to use them, we must at least restrict their beliefs and sacrifices." Han Feng said.

"There are too many secrets in the galaxy. It is impossible for us to figure them all out now. Under the current circumstances, we don't have time to review so many secrets due to the combat power we need. Moreover, we are tolerant of this kind of nihilistic belief. It is all fake anyway. The world is materialistic and will not appear in reality just because they create an existence in their minds." Ether said.

"Anyway, my troops will keep a distance from them, and I will never allow them to carry out any sacrificial activities in my defense zone." Han Feng said finally.

The Tau began to mobilize their entire civilization and its vassal forces to prepare for war. They recruited soldiers from various vassal civilizations and sent them to the front lines. In addition to preparing for war, the highest-ranking commanders such as Farsight also discussed other matters, such as whether they could seek help from one of the galactic overlords.

--------

"So, do you think we should cooperate with the Human Empire and the so-called gods behind them?" Ether Anwa said after listening to Vision's report.

"Yes, from the information we have collected, these Zerg swarms are just a minor trouble for the Human Empire. These Zerg swarms that have penetrated deep into our territory and are difficult for us to deal with are nothing more than the fish that have slipped through the net of Humanity. Our strength is still too weak." Vision said.

"Let the Empire's huge fleet enter our territory? Have you considered what the consequences will be?" Ether Anwa asked after a long silence.

"The Human Empire is indeed very overbearing, but they have a bottom line. Before this, although there were frictions between us, they really didn't intend to regard us as enemies. Because if they really had such an idea, perhaps our home planet would have fallen long ago."

"And they also have a zero-tolerance attitude towards the Tyranids. We are united in our stance on dealing with the Zerg fleet. That's enough," Farsight said.

"What you said is true from a military perspective. If we make a request and are willing to pay some price, the human fleet can easily defeat the Zerg fleet, but what about after that? Have you thought about the situation we will face afterwards?" Anwa asked.

"You don't think those vassals willing to join the Greater Good were inspired by the Great Spirit, do you?" Anwa said slowly. "Most of them don't share our ideals. They joined us simply because we were strong enough and we could shelter them, provide them with a better living environment and protection. That's all. And if a more powerful civilization, far more powerful than ours, arrived now, what do you think they would do?"

"Beyond the vassal races, there will also be a huge shock within civilization. Our Air Caste officials have visited the human star region called Ultramar. Their civilization and technology are far superior to ours. Although there are many profit-seeking scum among humans, we can also feel their pride, honor, and confidence in the future. Why should we compete with them?"

"We, the Tau, have always been proud of our civilization, and our mission is to bring civilization and enlightenment to the entire galaxy. But now, we discover that this galaxy has a more powerful overlord, one who is even more energetic and vibrant than us. What do you think our people will think?" Anwar asked. "Is it possible that we won a war but lost the foundation of our entire civilization?"

"But we can't resist the Zerg's attack. As a human sage once said, in the initial stage of this war, we have played all our cards, but still suffered a crushing defeat." Vision pointed out a very realistic problem.

"So, can we find a different way to cooperate with humans? Because the human empire is so huge, there are many independent groups within human civilization. Some of them are even stronger than our entire empire. So, my idea is, can we select some groups with a more moderate attitude and a better relationship to cooperate with us? We pay a certain cost, and they become mercenaries." Anwa said.

The Etheric Order was extremely cautious regarding the Human Empire. They knew that the humans had no intention of destroying them, but sometimes, if a behemoth accidentally turned over, or even roared, it could be dangerous for ants. Certain unintentional actions or displays of the Human Empire could be a serious problem for the Tau civilization.

And based on Anwar's understanding of the Human Empire, within such a vast civilization, some might be more friendly to alien races, while others might not be so friendly. Who knows who the Human Empire's core will send? Will they wipe out the Tau people as well?

For the Tau people, the best case scenario is that they pay the money they should pay, and you just fight and leave quickly after the fight!

"There are not only humans in this galaxy. Can the Eldar also be targets that can be won over?" said an Ether nearby.

"They're so arrogant. They look down on us," Anwar said. If some of the Eldar in the background still had a positive impression of the Tau, then in this plane, while the Eldar wouldn't do anything to the Tau, their impression had dropped significantly. It wasn't because the Tau had changed—at least now, the Tau weren't much different from the background version. The biggest problem was that the Eldar had changed! Simply put, the Eldar in this plane were far stronger than those in the background!

Exchanges between the two sides rely on strength and status. However, after Slaanesh's suppression, the return of the Goddess of Life, and the salvation of the Crone World in the Eye of Terror, the Eldar have indeed become extremely powerful! As long as the Eldar do not intend to regain the dominance of the galaxy, they can still be second in command. And the Eldar, who have already established their position, are no longer so fond of the Tau!

Honestly, even in the background, the only major alliance between humans and the Eldar occurred after the Great Rift. It was simply two pitiful races banding together for warmth. Initially, the Eldar felt they were still viable, occasionally engaging in conflict with humans, sometimes on a larger scale, like the brutal beating of the Blood Angels during the Great Crusade and the use of Titans to blast away ponies. Pride is a fundamental quality of the Eldar, and they respect humans based on their strength. As for the Tau now? Why?

Chapter 526: Khorne Demons Enter Dreams

"Can't we make some deals with the Eldar by paying some price?" Farsight asked.

"As for trade, there will be some mutual cooperation, but when it comes to dealing with the Zerg, the only ones who can provide significant assistance are humans. Because among the galactic civilizations we know of, only humans have the willingness and ability to dispatch a large fleet to deal with the Zerg, the cancer of the galaxy."

"Humanity has become the overlord of the galaxy, and they have also assumed their own responsibilities. Many civilizations have been harassed by the Zerg, but as long as they are willing to accept the authority of the Human Empire, the Human Empire Fleet will provide assistance. If we also want assistance, then we must recognize the other party's hegemony. This is the balance of rights and responsibilities."

"As for the Eldar, although they are older and equally powerful, they seem to have their own things to do. Their strength is far inferior to that of humans. Therefore, whether it is to invest their limited power in places where it is more needed, or to show respect to the current galactic overlord, the Eldar will not easily mobilize their powerful forces to help us." Anwa sighed and said.

The Eldar have a lot to do, including restoring their own tribe and world, improving and repairing the Webway, and hunting down Slaanesh. They are indeed much stronger than in the background, but at the same time they are also much more disciplined. The Eldar are arrogant in their bones, but that doesn't mean they are stupid. It is precisely because they have been powerful and glorious that they have seen a lot.

When the gods once again walked the Warp and the real universe, even the most arrogant Eldar had to bow their heads in respect. Just like the Death Army in the background, after witnessing Guilliman's resurrection, they also showed him the utmost respect. Even the Death Army turned into "Primarch lickers" and really helped him in every way they could.

In the galaxy, you can be fierce and arrogant, but you must not be tactless. Millions of years ago, for some reason, the Phoenix King decided to "sever the connection between heaven and earth." The connection between the gods and the mortal world was largely severed, and the Eldar gradually began to degenerate. Today, while the Eldar's pantheon is far from its former glory, with the gods now in the world, those who refuse to obey have long been shaved. And while they enjoy the favor of the human gods, who are more powerful than the human gods themselves, any intelligent Eldar must show respect for human galactic supremacy.

While ordinary matters might pass unnoticed, the most important matters of state are sacrifice and war. The supremacy of the Human Empire is manifested in two ways: the respect of other alien races for Human authority and their respect for Human military prowess. The Eldar have no reason to directly aid the Tau at this moment. Especially now that the Eldar gods are aware of Human involvement in Tau affairs, they cannot intervene, as the driving force rests solely in the hands of Humanity.

"Since we have no other choice, why don't we just do it?" asked Farsight.

"We are doing this," said Anwar.

Farsight's communication with the Ethers was far from successful. While everyone agreed that bringing in foreign aid was a good solution to the Empire's current predicament, the question of how to find it remained. The Ethers sought mercenaries, while Farsight hoped to establish a solid alliance with the human elite. Ultimately, Farsight's proposal was shelved while the Ethers searched for a suitable target.

--------

"Where am I?" When Farsight fell into a deep sleep, he felt that he was in a brutal war. In the sky, the Zerg fleet covered the sky, and the wreckage of the Tau fleet and space station in the universe formed a ring around the entire planet. Countless warships turned into ashes and fragments in the brutal battle.

Billions of spore airdrop pods fell to the ground like rain. The Tau fighter planes in the air tried their best to intercept them, but all this was a drop in the bucket. Swarms of Tyranid flying creatures covered the sky, tearing the Tau air force into pieces, and at the same time sweeping the ground again and again with dense acid and secondary biological weapons.

The Zerg has begun to impatiently harvest the biomass of the planet. Although the Tau are still relying on several fortresses to resist, the Zerg has already changed the ecology of the planet. Huge biological buildings have sprung up, directly connecting to the Zerg fleet in orbit like space elevators. All biomass is collected and transported.

"There is still hope, we can still fight!" Farsight roared, he ordered his fellow tribesmen around him to continue fighting. For the Greater Good, for the future of civilization, Farsight once again raised the Blade of Dawn in his hand. This weapon obtained from the alien world made a heart-pounding explosion, the stance was opened, and lightning surrounded the blade.
