Chapter 688 The Dark Side of the Empire(1/4)
How to drive a normal person crazy, or even make him fall into hysterical madness?
The answer is to constantly create a sense of crisis and pressure, forcing them to make difficult choices one after another to break through the moral bottom line in their hearts, until the string called rationality is completely broken.
Similarly, similar methods can be used to drive a normal civilization crazy.
For example, humans who once adhered to the truth of the Empire and rejected all religions and idolatry were driven into a state of near-hysterical madness by the Chaos God of Warp.
In the end, after losing the emperor and the original body for 10,000 years, he slowly degenerated into the ghostly appearance he is now.
To be precise, in order to deal with all kinds of powerful enemies and to ensure the survival of the entire race, the upper ruling class even completely abandoned humanity, just like a group of devils in human skin, using brutal and high-pressure policies to suppress all opposition voices.
All strangled in the cradle.
For this reason, they did not hesitate to launch a brutal purge and massacre millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of civilians who were regarded as heretics or who were hopeless.
Many extreme ideas, including the state religion, were born in this era when they were constantly being squeezed by huge external threats, and gradually developed into a state of complete madness.
In order to maintain their so-called "loyalty", some ill-intentioned affiliates of the Inquisition will even take evil action against Astartes warriors they deem to be problematic.
The most important thing is that compared to the prosperous 30th millennium, the overall living standards of ordinary people in the current 40th millennium have simply regressed several times.
With the lessons learned from mankind, Zuo Si obviously planned to repeat the same thing with the Tau people.
He will use the warp chaos forces, Necron, Green Orcs, Tyranids and Scourge to drive the entire Tau civilization into the same madness as the current Human Empire.
Only in this way can the most perfect and powerful subspace projection be created during sacrifice.
After all, compared to the depravity of human beings who tend to be lawful evil, the power produced by the distortion and depravity of a race like Tau that obviously has a tendency toward lawful good is particularly powerful.
And Lich King Jaina's attack is just the prelude and appetizer.
Zuo Si was looking forward to whether the Tau's senior leaders would eventually choose to become undead under the continuous pressure, or embrace Shimmer Oil and become a member of New Phyrexia.
And how will the so-called "Greater Good" be twisted into after breaking through the bottom line again and again.
You must know that for a big devil, nothing can make him feel more physically and mentally happy than personally planning a false kindness to fall into darkness.
And this behavior itself will bring it closer to the source and essence of evil.
The most important thing is that he will personally create a god of subspace, so that Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch and Slaanesh understand that he has the ability to turn the table and start a war in the subspace that the other party cannot bear.
Of course, this is a plan that will take a long time to complete.
After all, the timeline of the Warhammer universe often jumps by decades or hundreds of years, and each battle can take as little as a few months, or as long as dozens or hundreds of years.
The Indomitus Crusade launched by Robert Guilliman seemed to last for one hundred and twelve years. During this period, he liberated hundreds of star systems and recovered large areas of the empire's lost territory. He almost never slept.
I even felt exhausted several times.
Zuo Si was obviously not interested in these wars that were so boring that they could make people doze off.
Because they don't matter at all.
Even if this may involve the life and death of hundreds of billions of people.
After all, with the great rift created by the Dark Warmaster Abaddon's Thirteenth Crusade, the area ruled by the Human Empire was divided into two halves in the middle.
The half that can be illuminated by the Star Torch is called the "Holy Territory of the Empire", while the other half is called the "Dark Side of the Empire."
In other words, in each star sector on the dark side, you can only rely on your own strength to resist various enemies, and there is no way to obtain reinforcements from Terra.
The reason is very simple!
Humanity's faster-than-light voyage actually relies on the guidance of the star torch to travel through a chaotic subspace.
Once there is no guidance from the Star Torch, no matter how powerful the navigator is, he will not be able to confirm the location of the spacecraft, and will be completely lost in the subspace.
So what is the current situation of the dark side of the empire, how many planets are still in the hands of humans, and how many people have betrayed the empire and the emperor. It is completely a blind eye.
Of course, this also gave Zuo Si huge room for maneuver.
After all, just because the star torch cannot illuminate a place does not mean that it cannot guide the direction.
At this moment, Moscat, the former planetary governor, safely passed through the dangerous subspace rift under the protection of a powerful magical item, and successfully arrived at a star sector on the dark side of the empire.
Obviously, he has successfully passed the Empire's "loyalty" test and is now a legal Rogue Trader.
It's just that what this guy is doing is not carrying out armed trade and colonization in the border areas of the empire, but coming to the dark side alone with the help of Zuo Si, intending to implement his long-prepared evil plan here.
After all, the longer a place is separated from Terra's rule, the greater the possibility of independent tendencies.
Especially when they are invaded by foreign enemies and are isolated and helpless, it is not worth making a fuss about even surrendering to some alien races or even Chaos forces.
There is no way, who made the empire's territory far beyond its ability to rule.
"Father, the fleet has arrived in the Volker sector. The closest planet to us now is Irons 6. However, according to the information sent back by the probe, the situation there seems to be a bit not good. Not only are the planets parked in orbit
A typical Ork spaceship, and a fierce battle broke out on the ground."
A man who looked to be in his thirties and was wearing the latest model of a powered mecha spoke at a very fast pace.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He is none other than Moscat's eldest son - Crow, who is also the person with the highest inheritance rights in the family and has accepted the strictest rules since he was a child.
With military and political education, they belong to the top elite class. They even personally commanded the troops during the Tyranids invasion and achieved quite good results.
If nothing else happens, if Moscat dies one day, then all this will be inherited by this proud man of heaven.
But unfortunately, Crowe obviously didn't know that his father had planned to transform into an immortal devil and would sacrifice all his relatives, including his children, during the transformation ceremony.
Because the more sacrifices are made, the higher the level of the devil that will be transformed into will be, and the more powerful it will be.
As a dark, evil and extremely selfish person, how could Moscat refuse such a huge temptation!
Secretly, he also wanted to take advantage of this period to have a few more children, and when the time came, he would drag his entire family together to die.
Thinking of this, Moscat subconsciously touched the devil's egg hanging around his neck that had grown in size, and asked with a smile: "So we came just in time?"
"That's right.
If we can help the planetary governor of Irons VI to repel these nasty green-skinned orcs, then he will owe us a big favor.
At that time, you can start to gain huge influence in the entire Volker Sector.
After all, we are now the only fleet that can cross the subspace rift and reach the dark side.
Even under the banner of Terra, it will never arouse suspicion.
What's more, the weapons, equipment and medicines we carry are what they need most urgently."
When he said these words, Crowe had an extremely proud expression on his face.
Although he didn't know exactly what kind of deal his father had reached with Zuo Si, he could smell the smell of money and power in it.
If you can make good use of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you might be able to become the ruler of one or even several star regions.
After all, in his opinion, sooner or later the family's future will be his.
"Are you sure you can kill all the orcs? You must know that once the number of these guys increases, it will not be easy to deal with." Moscat reminded meaningfully.
But Crowe confidently assured: "Don't worry, Father. With the number of power mechas and soldiers we currently equip, there are also several Titan mechas called God's Machines. In terms of firepower,
In this regard, it even surpasses most Astartes Chapters. Coupled with this fleet that can quickly repair itself no matter how serious the damage is, I really can't think of a reason for defeat."
"In that case, let's go ahead and do it. Remember to play smart, because we have to play the role of the savior of the dark side of the empire."
Having said that, Moscat gave his eldest son the war authorization.
"I will never let you down. For the glory of the family!"
Crowe forcefully slapped the ceramite armor on the chest of the power armor, then turned around and assumed the role of commander and began to issue orders.
After a while, this fleet, which looked slightly different from the style of the human empire, quickly formed a combat formation and quickly approached the distant planet at a speed close to light.
In about half an hour, they began to approach the planet's orbit and began to attack the Orc spacecraft that was bombing the ground from above.
Of course, this thing is not so much a spaceship as it is some kind of giant suture monster made of random junk, metal and other materials.
A giant meteorite with a diameter of several kilometers and mainly composed of iron and nickel was even tied to the front end for impact.
Don’t underestimate this thing!
Although it is completely incomparable to the Imperial Navy's ram in terms of structure and materials, once it is blessed with the Orks' "power of thinking", it will immediately become the most dangerous impact weapon in the entire galaxy.
No battleship can escape unscathed from this thing, and it would be easy to hit a big hole directly.
Anyone who is slightly worse may be directly broken into two pieces.
And the appearance is really a bit eye-catching.
