"Your Highness, the Tau have not yet seen the truly cruel and terrifying side of the Milky Way. Besides, their development time is still too short."
Doral's words could represent almost all the Ada's views on the Tau, and perhaps also the human's views on the Tau, but Soshyan just sighed softly.
"Really... Then the Ada Empire, which had ruled the Milky Way for nearly 60 million years, would have thought that humans with a civilization history of only 50,000 to 40,000 years would one day become the new overlord of the Galaxy? And people in the Great Expedition era also
Would you ever imagine that your descendants, after ruling the Milky Way for ten thousand years, would be unable to do anything against a small tribe of Zu'er with less than six thousand years of civilization?"
The breeze blew by, blowing the white-gold cloak behind Soshyan, and both of them fell into silence.
After a while, Soshyan picked up a drone and looked at some laser scratches on it. Then he turned it over and observed its anti-gravity structure and weapon racks in detail, and said:
"When I was studying the ancient history of mankind, I once saw a saying that the ancients had no time to mourn themselves, and later generations mourned them, and future generations grieved and ignored them, which also caused future generations to mourn future generations again... This is also what I
The reason for paying so much attention to the Tau is that no matter how they may develop in the future, it is definitely right to at least learn from the past lessons. Speaking of this, I am more curious about the so-called Ether who leads the Tau and how they do it.
To manage such a large ethnic group in such an orderly manner?"
Doral calmed down his expression and nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, I believe more and more that you are the new path Asuryan has chosen for our race. We have been decaying and sinking for too long. The prophets seem to have farsightedness, but in fact they are just intoxicated in the established fantasy of the future. Path warriors
You even need to wear a mask to dare to face the war. The vast majority of our compatriots are either self-isolating or escaping. Being a pirate is just another kind of self-exile. Going back to the past path will definitely not work."
Regarding Doral's words, Soshyan did not comment. He just put down the Drone and came to an XV8 Crisis Battle Suit. It was shorter than Soshyan, but much taller than the average Astartes.
There are almost no scars visible on this battle suit. Only the front armor of the center cockpit of the battle suit has a smooth and flat hole the size of Soshyan's thumb. This is where the Dark Death Bishop of the Emerald Scythe Shrine used his "Black Glaze"
The result after shooting was that the weapon combined some of the capabilities of the Comorian Witchcraft Rifle. It had strong penetrating power but was mainly aimed at killing people. The ammunition that penetrated the armor shattered upon contact with living creatures, causing the opponent to quickly decompose.
Make a black glass statue, but the outside will be almost undamaged, very suitable for capturing enemy armor or vehicles.
Seeing Soshiyang approaching, the attendant on the side gently tapped the back of the combat suit with the thin stick of spirit bone in his hand, and its cockpit opened automatically, giving a clear view of the situation inside.
"One Astartes can easily slaughter hundreds or thousands of Tau. Their bodies are so weak that they are not worth mentioning. But as long as they enter this weapon called a battle suit, a weak Tau can also compete with the powerful.
against the Astartes... at least in part of their capabilities. If there were more of these battle suits, and if their air power could last longer, this battle might not be that easy to fight, at least.
Casualties will not be that low."
Although Soshiyan said the casualties were low, in fact the number of casualties in the royal court this time was much higher than the last time it supported the Kingdom of Linnaeus. According to current statistics, a full 371 personnel of various types were killed. You must know that last time Linnaeus
Only 6 people were killed in the battle, which was definitely the most costly battle for the Royal Court. More than 23,000 soldiers and civilians of the Kingdom of Lilarsus died.
Of course, the huge loss this time was also due to the fact that they did not bring any servant troops or mercenaries. The Ironsworn regiment of the Hearthborn had been "dismissed" in name, but in fact they were left in the orbit of the royal court, ready to support the ground battlefield at any time.
situation, but in the end it was not used much.
The death of more than 300 warriors is not unbearable for the current royal court, but considering Ada's population and relatively sensitive emotions, it is foreseeable that the impact on the people will still be great, so it is not surprising that some Arkworld will
Choosing to die without saving anything, sacrificing the lives of loved ones for a group of unrelated "compatriots" is unacceptable to some Adas when everyone is in difficulty.
"Your Highness, the battle uniforms of the Tau are to make up for their physical deficiencies. Our tribe is not very thirsty for these things. In the past, some barbaric worlds had a kind of spirit bone knight, which was a structure driven by a living person. It was more powerful than the Netherworld.
The guard is slightly larger than the Nether Knight, but these things have basically disappeared."
"I think that the Netherworld structure still has quite a few flaws. If it is driven only by soul stones, it will be quite slow. And the conditions required for the combination of living people and ghosts are too harsh. They must be twins, or too
It's so big that it's difficult to deliver. I think the spirit bone knight you just mentioned is a good idea. Even though Ada has a swift figure and good strength, she still needs to be protected on the battlefield. Every member of the population is extremely
Precious and worth protecting at any cost."
With that said, Soshyan came to the back of the XV8 combat suit.
"This jetpack gives them great mobility. I suddenly thought of Shadow Ghost... My dear, what do you think of making a flying Wraithbone Knight that imitates the combat style of the Shadow Ghost path?
You see, although the Royal Court can't make the Prism Rifle yet, the Prism Cannon can. Combined with an anti-gravity backpack and a holographic stance, as well as armor that can withstand a certain amount of heavy firepower, I think it should be good as frontline support equipment...
.”
Doral blinked.
"Your Highness...you are truly talented."
But after thinking for a moment, Soshyan shook his head and denied this idea.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No, no, I'm in a misunderstanding again. It's more practical to build more tanks with this strength. What do you have to do with those two legs and two hands? They are all anti-gravity anyway.
Flying is not restricted by terrain. The target surface of a tank is small, and protection is easily ensured..."
Doral chuckled lightly and said:
"Your Highness, I actually think it is not completely useless. There are some enemies that are difficult to destroy with long-range firepower. Creating a small amount to deal with certain special enemies, such as big demons and giant Tyranid creatures, may have miraculous effects."
After hearing what Doral said, Soshyan thought about it for a while and felt that this was indeed the truth. He nodded in agreement:
"Ai Qing is right. Let's talk to Master Kaletu when we get back and see what he thinks."
Then Soshyan picked up the drone that had been put down.
"I have gained a lot from observing the combat organization of the Tau troops, especially the large number of unmanned weapon stations called drones they equip to assist infantry groups in combat. I have been thinking... Ada or
Talking about the current situation in which the Royal Court can only adopt the strategy of elite soldiers, how to maximize the use of limited troops and reduce casualties. This kind of drone gave me a lot of inspiration. A team of 6-12 people usually equips 4
-8 Drone Drones, basically one person can be assisted by one Drone Drone, which makes the firepower of their team far exceed the original scale. The Royal Court is also now using a large number of Spindle Drone Drones produced by Vaal's Blessing.
As an auxiliary robot, Aiqing, do you think that by modifying the Spindle Drone to a certain extent so that it has anti-gravity flight capabilities and equipped with weapons to fight with soldiers, can it effectively improve its combat capabilities?"
