Chapter 688: The Expansion of the Scourge



You must know that although the Death Army has temporarily formed an alliance with the Human Empire, it does not mean that we trust each other.

Just the opposite!

Both Robert Guilliman, the regent, and those he promoted are still wary and fearful of us.

So I don’t want to cause unnecessary suspicion during this sensitive period.”

Evelyne spoke very frankly about her difficulties.

As an Eldar born in the Ark World of Bel-Tan, her life experience can be said to be quite rich. She first chose the path of a dancer, then developed her psychic talent and became a war wizard. Later, because of her erratic emotions and a bit of bloodthirstiness, she jumped again to practice the path of a warrior.

In the process, she also left her hometown and created an interstellar pirate gang, going to the capital of the Dark Eldar - Comoros to make a living.

He even participated in a bloodthirsty fight involving all kinds of monsters including the Tyranids, and during the battle he used his psychic powers to open a subspace tunnel, letting in countless demons and ruining everything.

It was because of so many extraordinary experiences that Evelyne knew how untrustworthy her race was in the eyes of the human empire.

Some Ark worlds even use their powerful prophetic abilities to predict the future, and then do many things that seem puzzling or even crazy to outsiders in order to ensure their own safety.

For example, they often appear suddenly, and then help humans resist attacks from demons, Zerg, and orcs as allies. After repelling the enemies, they suddenly turn their guns around and shoot at the human army as well.

The reason for doing so is often directly related to the prophecy, and the motivation is simply to protect one's own safety.

But in the eyes of humans, this is complete evidence of inconsistency and untrustworthiness.

So even if Everenee relied on the power of the Eldar Death God to help awaken Robert Guilliman, the Death God Army could only avoid being actively attacked by the powerful Imperial fleet and the Astartes Chapter, and that was all.

Occasionally, with permission, it can enter human-ruled planets for corrections and resupply.

As for the Eldar's Ark World, it is actually a unique super-giant spaceship with a complete ecological circulation system inside, which is basically equivalent to a small mobile planet.

When the entire race was constantly falling into depravity, many knowledgeable people realized the danger, so they built countless arks to take the people away.

But most of them were built or set sail too late, and were swallowed up by the huge Eye of Terror formed when Slaanesh was born. Only a few managed to escape.

Since then, the Eldar have fallen directly from being the overlords of the galaxy to wandering interstellar refugees.

For Slaanesh considers the souls of their entire race to be his own.

If an Eldar does not have a special method to protect his soul, then after death he will automatically be captured by the youngest of the four evil gods of Chaos and become a plaything in the hands of the other.

Therefore, since the birth of Slaanesh, the Eldar who managed to escape have actually been hunted by Slaanesh and his demons.

In order to prevent the eventual extinction of their entire race, all branches of the Eldar seek ways to fight or even kill Slaanesh.

And the Death Army is the most promising one so far.

Their goal is to collect five legendary artifacts, the "Crone Swords", to awaken the Eldar god of death - Jena, and then use the power of the god of death to directly kill Slaanesh.

Zuo Si was obviously well aware of the plan of the Eldar Death Messenger in front of him, but he scoffed at the success rate of this plan.

Because the four great Chaos Evil Gods in the Warp are typical "conceptual gods", that is, their existence itself reflects some strong thoughts, consciousness, emotions and desires of the vast majority of mortals in the real universe.

Not to mention the faith and worship that the Eldar can provide with their current pitiful population size. Even if the God of Death can temporarily gain power beyond Slaanesh from their massive deaths and successfully kill the other party, it won't be long before Slaanesh will be resurrected on the spot.

Immortality, eternal existence in the past, present and future, this is the most terrifying thing about the four Chaos Gods in the Warp.

They simply cannot be defeated quickly by the so-called “one battle to decide the outcome” approach; the soil for their existence must be eradicated from the root.

This is why Zuo Si never thought of descending directly into the subspace as his original body or clone, and rushing into the subspace to fight against the Chaos Gods. Instead, he chose to form an alliance with the Human Empire and the Emperor to develop slowly and act as a troublemaker.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at the white-haired woman with a sky-high ponytail and a huge exaggerated headdress with interest. After half a minute, he smiled and nodded: "Okay, I admit that what you said makes some sense.

As the leader of the Death Army, your identity is indeed sensitive.

Moreover, his personal relationship with the imperial regent has led many people to speculate and make associations.

Now I just want to know one thing, that is, are you representing yourself, the Death Army, or Jena who gave you the status of messenger and elect? "

As these words came out of her mouth, a trace of tension finally appeared on Evelyne's originally calm face. She took a deep breath and responded, "On behalf of myself, the Death Army and Jena, I formally invite you to form an alliance.

I believe that through the previous confrontations, you should have realized that when fighting against the evil gods of the subspace, relying on the strength of one person alone is far from enough.

That is why we need to unite and use each other's strength to resist various threats together.

And I also found that you don’t seem to be as malicious towards other intelligent races in this universe as the human empire is.”

After hearing this, Zuo Si couldn't help laughing, and asked back while laughing: "Ms. Evelyne, you must understand that alliances are based on mutual needs.

But the question is, do you think there is anything in the current Eldar and Death Army that I urgently need? The answer is no! Whether it is the spirit stone you use, or the spirit bone created by it through the power of the warp, it is no secret to me.

I can even copy any known ark at any time if I want.

Perhaps the only thing that is somewhat attractive is the Crone Sword you wear - Cavill.

Apart from that, I am completely uninterested in anything you have.

As for the alliance...

Sorry, I don't like to form an alliance with a force that has no value and may hinder us at any time.

Because the input and output are totally disproportionate.

But if you need weapons and equipment, you can trade with me for population and souls like the human empire did."

"You think we Eldar and the Death Army are of no use at all?"

Evelyne's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously touched the Sword of Sorrow hanging at her waist - Cavill.

Of course, it is called a sword, but its actual shape is more like a scimitar with serrations near the handle.

Its ability is to turn the target into ashes immediately after it hits it.

In other words, it is equivalent to instantly releasing a death spell.

As to whether there is immunity and whether it will be affected by magic resistance, it is not yet known.

The only thing known is that Evelyne has the ability to summon the incarnation of death.

As for the combat effectiveness of the incarnation of Death, it should have no problem destroying a fleet and clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers.

But if you encounter cutting-edge combat forces at the level of the Primarch, Living Saint, or Demon Prince, there is basically little hope of winning.

With the power accumulated by all of Zuo Si's current incarnations, he could crush a dozen or twenty of them in minutes.

This is also why he would rather pay attention to the emerging Titanium civilization and is too lazy to bother with these elves who are nicknamed "bean sprouts" by the "Hammer Guys".

After a long period of population decline and a significant decline in technology and manufacturing capabilities, this race has almost no value left.

Perhaps the only bright spot is the device that can extinguish stars on a certain Ark World.

But it's just a little highlight.

Zuo Si could do things like extinguishing stars easily and effortlessly.

So he nodded very straightforwardly: "That's right. I am not Robert Guilliman, and I don't need any help to alleviate the various troubles and difficulties that the human empire is facing now. Most importantly, I will never allow anyone to interfere with my plans, and I will not waste any resources and energy on a group of worthless targets. Want to form an alliance with me? Sorry, you are not qualified."

Such blatant contempt immediately made Evelyne's eyes flash with anger.

You have to know that she is not a kind person. Especially when fighting, she is crazy and bloodthirsty. She once was pierced through the chest by a sword but she didn't want to stop at all.

"I advise you not to do anything stupid.

Because I am not a very generous person, and I will not show mercy to my enemies.

Believe me, once your sword is unsheathed, it means that the entire Death Army will completely disappear from this world within half an hour, and the Eldar will be completely extinct within a few years.

This is not a threat or a warning, but an explanation of a reality that could happen at any time.

Compared to construction, I am actually better at destruction and killing."

Zuo Si said in a nonchalant tone words that made Evelyne feel horrified.

There is no doubt that this fickle woman mistook the kindness and benevolence shown by Zuo Si towards humans for his nature, and wanted to use this to gain a powerful ally who could help her at a critical moment.

But unfortunately this is not only wrong, it is terribly wrong.

Zuo Si treated humans in a friendly way, on the one hand because he was originally a member of the human race, and on the other hand because the Emperor of Humankind was the only strong man in the universe who could confront the Four Gods of Chaos head-on.

But what do the Eldar have? The entire pantheon has been ravaged by Slaanesh! The performance of those gods from beginning to end is nothing more than trash.

"You'll regret this!"

Realizing that the other party was not joking, but really intended to exterminate the entire Death Army and even the Eldar, Evelyne decisively chose to leave a harsh remark, turned around and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Watching her gradually receding figure, Zuo Si mocked her with disdain, "You want me to regret it? Sorry, you bean sprouts are far from it. Most importantly, you want me to be your cannon fodder? Don't daydream."

"Master, do we need to teach these arrogant elves a lesson?"

The huge figure of the Skull Taker suddenly appeared out of nowhere and asked in a cold and bloodthirsty tone.

“No, no, these guys are not worth wasting time and energy on.

Now I need you to build a complete defense system for the entire star zone to ensure that even if we encounter an invasion by a powerful foreign enemy like the Tyranids, all the population can be quickly transferred to a safe place.

I have a strong feeling that those enemies hiding in the dark will not give me much time to develop smoothly.

If nothing unexpected happens, all kinds of temptations will soon arrive as expected."

After saying that, Zuo Si directly transferred the control of the oil of hundreds of major planets to his subordinate Demon Judge.

"As you wish!"

The Skull Taker took the authorization and disappeared without saying a word.

Obviously, with the continuous expansion of power in this universe, it is obvious that the two Demon Judges alone are no longer able to handle the situation.

However, before finding the right "material", Zuo Si did not intend to create any new Demon Judges.

Because through previous battles with the Thousand Sons, he found that ordinary New Phyrexian creations could be easily killed or paralyzed by powerful psykers.

Only a demon judge like the Skulltaker, who has been completely transformed from the body of a great demon, will possess a certain level of psychic resistance.

Therefore, the Judge of Justice directly targets those demon primarchs, or the chosen ones blessed by the evil gods of Chaos in the Warp.

Only such a Demon Judge can meet the special needs of this world.

With the departure of Evelyne, the First Expedition Fleet led by the Imperial Regent Robert Guilliman finally slowly left the planetary orbit and once again embarked on the sacred mission of recovering the Imperial territory.

Except for a very small number of Grey Knights, the rest of the Astra Militarum, Navy and Astartes Chapters basically all followed along.

The city, which was so lively, noisy and crowded before, seemed to become deserted suddenly.

Although when these soldiers arrived, many people who had suffered from oppression and humiliation by the empire had very strong rejection of them.

But when they really left, many people still felt a little sad.

Especially those guys who developed feelings or even had intimate relationships with those handsome guys and beautiful girls during their stay in the fleet. Now they have broken away from their previous carefree and idle state and started to learn all kinds of knowledge. They don't want to continue wasting their precious lives like this.

All of a sudden, places like public libraries, laboratories, skills training centers, military training centers, etc. were overcrowded.

It turned out that Zuo Si's prediction was correct.

After people have achieved material satisfaction, they will not become useless and just eat and wait for death as some experts predict. Instead, they will turn to pursue spiritual satisfaction because of their increasingly empty hearts.

Human beings in this state are the most powerful, bravest, fearless and most creative.

Some people even take the initiative to ask for a job, even though they know they will not get any salary or compensation.

How should I put it? The overall feeling is like when you are in school, you always look forward to the holidays, and when the holidays are too long, you start looking forward to school starting soon.

Zuo Si always remained non-interfering in this change and allowed it to develop freely.

After all, in his eyes, this utopian society is nothing more than an interesting social experiment, testing what interesting changes will occur in the human race after obtaining material satisfaction.

To sink completely or remain comfortable, or to burst out with unprecedented creativity.

On the other side, after the Lich King Jaina massacred several alien races on their planets and replenished her troops, she finally arrived at the outpost built by the Tau on the edge of the 500 worlds of Ultramar.

Looking at the images transmitted back by the warship's detector, this evil and cold woman pursed her lips and said bluntly to her newly appointed deputy: "I will give you five hours. After five hours, I want to see that there is no living thing on this planet anymore."

"In less than five hours, I can kill all these stupid Tau people and their vassals in three and a half hours without leaving a single one alive."

Tyfas swung his fist and punched the power mech's chest hard to give his assurance.

Ever since he was transformed into a powerful Undead Astartes by Frostmourne, his power has not weakened but has become even stronger with the blessing of the power of death.

The Death Knight's unholy talents, in particular, not only retain the plague and disease powers gained from his benevolent father Nurgle, but now also have control over a large number of blood and frost spells at the same time.

Add to that 10,000 Astartes Legionaries who were also transformed into Death Knights, and hundreds of billions of Undead cannon fodder who had no idea what fear was. If they couldn't quickly capture a Tau outpost, they would jump into a star and commit suicide.

A hint of satisfaction appeared on Jaina's cold face: "Very good! Then let's get started. Remember, try to capture engineers and technicians alive. I need to turn this planet into a death planet and build it into a forward base."

"clear!"

Taifas nodded vigorously, then turned around and began to issue attack missions to the entire fleet.

Before the Tau people on the ground who were trying to negotiate could figure out the purpose of this huge fleet, the horrific orbital bombardment had already begun.

Especially the huge cannons on the side of the battleship Queen of Glory, which blew the enemy's strongest fortress into pieces with just one round of salvos, and even the parts thousands of meters underground were uprooted. The huge fireball and shock wave generated by the thermonuclear explosion killed hundreds of thousands or even millions of lives in an instant.

The mushroom clouds that followed rose one after another, looking extremely spectacular.

As for the Tau's defense fleet and orbital defense system, they were all destroyed in less than fifteen minutes after the attack began.

Among them, the orbital weapon system was almost completely turned into space junk in one round under the bombardment of torpedoes and missiles.

Several warships were beaten back step by step by the Undead's portal boarding operations, and eventually either chose to self-destruct or were completely occupied and joined in the orbital bombing.

The Titanium people were unable to even organize an effective counterattack and were killed, melted, and evaporated in large numbers in a very short period of time.

However, the Scourge's attacks clearly avoided foundries and weapons and equipment production lines.

When the military targets were mostly bombed, the low-level undead creatures densely lying on the surface of the warships began to wrap themselves in a thick layer of magical ice under the power of Lich King Jaina, and jumped down directly to start orbital airdrops with the help of gravity acceleration.

After a while, these undead souls wrapped in ice began to fall to the ground like raindrops.

Moreover, due to the high temperature generated by friction with the atmosphere during the descent, a large amount of white water vapor was released when landing, and the battlefield was quickly covered with a thick fog that was so thick that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

This made the situation even worse for the Titan people, who were already in a passive position and fleeing everywhere.

Because the fog obscured the sky, they could not see clearly the trajectory of the huge ice blocks as they fell.

Many Fire Clan warriors wearing power mechas were instantly knocked to the ground by the ice-wrapped undead.

If it was a light combat suit, the whole person would be smashed into a meat patty on the spot.

If it is a heavy attack, it is slightly better, at least you won't die on the spot, but the undead crawling out of the ice will soon use the weapon in their hand to finish off the enemy.

As for the force field shield...

Sorry, that thing is not very effective against slow targets or close combat.

要知道这些亡灵生物可不是在艾泽拉斯那些手持破烂刀剑等冷兵器的炮灰,而是拎着各种爆弹枪、激光枪、电磁炮、热熔枪、电浆炮、链锯剑、动力斧等先进武器的突击战士。

由于数量非常多且补充起来方便,所以它们并不需要任何防护。

即便一个被干掉,后边也会有另外一个捡起掉落的武器顶上去。

随着在这个宇宙进行的战争越来越多,巫妖王吉安娜的指挥能力也在呈指数级的提升。

再加上还有大量转化过来的手下,天灾军团俨然已经完成了进化,成为一股所有生灵都感到闻风丧胆的势力。

“该死!这些不知道从什么地方冒出来的敌人数量太多了!我们根本不可能挡得住!”

一名火氏族的军官在开启离子脉冲枪超载状态连续击退了超过三十个亡灵后,忍不住转头向身后唯一从轨道轰炸中幸存的高级决策者大声咆哮。

当最开始发现有舰队突然出现的时候,他还以为是来自奥特拉玛五百世界的人类帝国,又打算要发起一次达摩克利斯远征了。

毕竟巫妖王吉安娜现在的舰队其中大部分都是以人类帝国打造的战舰为主。

可当看清楚这些敌人的真面目后,所有的钛族人都露出了震惊和难以置信的表情。

他们突然发现自己现在要面对的并不是活人,而是一群散发着刺鼻恶臭的死人。

有些甚至干脆就是一具白森森的骷髅骨架。

像这种远远超出其理解范围的东西,直接给了钛族人一记心灵上的重击,进而引发了强烈的恐慌和畏惧。

唯一值得庆幸的可能就是手里的武器仍旧有效,这些死人还可以通过物理的方式予以消灭。

“那你说怎么办?我们所有的登陆艇和飞船都已经在刚才的轨道轰炸中遭到摧毁,几座要塞也无一例外变成了废墟。我根本无处可逃!”

狼狈不堪趴在地上躲避攻击的钛族高级决策者厉声反问。

由于走的比较急,他现在身上连一件作战服和武器都没有。

但凡被那些威力惊人的武器擦这一点,都会瞬间变成一具残缺不全的尸体碎片。

“那援军呢?难道你不能向附近的其他星球请求支援吗?”

军官一边询问,一边凭借人工智能的辅助通过近乎疯狂的过载火力压制把又一波冲上来的亡灵杀死。

作为火氏族的一员,他是天生的战士,从小就被按照军人进行培养,这一点从体型、肌肉和面对危险时的沉着冷静就能看得出来。

事实上,钛帝国拥有五大氏族,也可以理解为五大种姓。

其中火氏族就是军人和战士阶级,而水氏族则是外交官、商人、公务员阶级,气氏族是飞行员、信使、侦察兵、探险家阶级,土氏族则工程师、战斗服驾驶员之类的平民阶级。

最后一种就是位于最高领导阶层的以太。

每一个种姓氏族都各司其职,构成了钛帝国超级稳定的社会结构。

任何试图跨越阶级,亦或是违反本阶级准则的行为,都会被视作离经叛道遭到毫不留情的镇压。

高级决策者显然是一名以太。

只见他先是扫了一眼周围,然后苦笑着解释道:“你以为援军是说来就来的吗?先不提这群敌人有多么强大,一般的援军就算到了恐怕也会在极短时间内遭到全歼,光是从距离最近的星球调遣一支舰队过来都需要至少几十个小时。你觉得我们还能撑到那个时候?”

就在两人说话的功夫,一个巨大的冰块突然轰的一声从头顶砸下来,当场把周围的十几名士兵全部砸死。

当冰块化作寒气散开之后,一名身披动力机甲的阿斯塔特死亡骑士缓缓从里边走了出来。

下一秒……

只见他抬起手猛然间释放出死亡之握,一把就将试图反抗的火氏族军官抓了过来。

还没等后者从震惊中回过神来,沾染着可怕瘟疫和疾病的链锯剑便直接穿胸而过,连人带作战服捅了个对穿。

鲜血裹挟着被链锯剑撕碎的肉块和内脏顺着伤口哗哗的往外流。

那骇人的景象简直令人感到头皮发麻。

不过作为曾经死亡守卫军团中的一员,这个积累了超过万年战斗经验的阿斯塔特显然早就习惯了这样的杀戮,随手把仍旧保持着温热的尸体随手丢掉旁边,拔出爆弹枪就是一通扫射。

超过五十名火氏族的士兵基本不是被当场爆头就是胸口多出了一个血洞,直挺挺的倒在地上咽下了最后一口气。

整个过程行云流水,没有一丝一毫的停顿,总共加在一起也不过用了三四秒钟。

很显然,这就是接受过原体基因改造的超级星际战士所拥有的恐怖战斗力。

一般的步兵在他们面前简直就像婴儿一样脆弱。

难怪会有几十个乃至上百个阿斯塔特,就能抵挡超过自己数百倍乃至上千倍敌人的魔幻战绩。

“别……别过来!你不要过来啊!”

高级抉择者显然已经被如此高效的屠杀吓傻了。

更何况死亡守卫军团在投靠纳垢之后,一个个身体早已严重变形,充斥着恶臭的腐肉和各种浓疮、皮疹,仅仅看上一眼都会感觉浑身难受起鸡皮疙瘩。

但遗憾的是单靠语言显然起不到什么作用。

这位死亡骑士阿斯塔特根本没有理会对方的张牙舞爪,直接一把将其像小鸡仔一样抓起来,透过头盔上的探测器对其进行了扫描,确认身份后这才发出一阵低沉且令人毛骨悚然的笑声。

“嘿嘿嘿嘿!别担心,伟大的巫妖王刚刚决定不杀你,而是允许你活着返回自己的故乡,然后把这里发生的一切告诉那些至高以太。”

“放我回去?!”

这个男性钛族领导者明显愣了一下,紧跟着迅速浮现出狂喜的表情。

毕竟要是能活着,谁会希望死掉呢。

阿斯塔特死亡骑士狞笑着点了点头:“没错。不过在此之前,你还要看一场精彩的屠杀表演。因为除了你之外,巫妖王不打算在这颗星球上留下任何活物。”

听到这句话,前者顿时像是触电了一样忍不住开始剧烈颤抖,眼神中透露出前所未有的恐惧。

要知道为了打造一个能够对抗人类帝国的前哨站,钛族高层可是在这颗星球上移民了整整上千亿的人口。

而且绝大部分都是火氏族的优秀战士和土氏族的工程师。

一旦这些人全部被杀光,对钛帝国在这片区域的统治力绝对是一场极其可怕的灾难。

意识到这一点,这位以太立刻像快要淹死的人渴望抓住最后一根救命稻草般大喊道:“不!你们不能这样做!我要求立刻与你们的最高指挥官进行谈判!”

‘谈判? 哈哈哈哈!

你以为自己在跟谁打交道? 伟大的巫妖王才不会谈判。

她只想要死亡,更多的死亡,整个钛文明的死亡。

看着吧,这仅仅只是一个开始。

接下来天灾军团会一颗星球接着一个星球的杀过去。”

说罢,阿斯塔特死亡骑士便不再理会这个没有半点威胁的家伙,迅速更换了一个爆弹枪的弹夹,然后继续迈开步子像那些仍然还在抵抗的钛族军队发起猛烈进攻。

等到吉安娜和泰法斯从战舰上下来的时候,整个星球都在亡灵大军高效的屠杀下变成了堆积如山的尸体。

没有仁慈!

没有怜悯!

有的仅仅只是毫不留情的杀戮。

此时此刻,唯一幸存的以太已经完全像是失去了灵魂般,跪在由同胞尸体堆积而成的小山面前发出一阵意义不明的呜呜声,眼泪更是早已哭干。

不过吉安娜显然并不在意这个俘虏,拔出霜之哀伤径直走向巨大的尸山,然后发动了这把邪恶神器的能力。

转瞬之间!

庞大的死亡之力从剑身中喷涌而出,密密麻麻数不清的灵魂在痛苦中发出绝望的悲鸣,那直击灵魂的声音甚至让在场的亡灵生物都开始匍匐地上向自己至高无上的主人表达臣服。

很快,伴随着灵魂风暴逐渐成型,那些死去的钛族人尸体开始一个接一个挣扎着从地上站起来,两只眼睛里闪烁着蔚蓝色的寒光。

才几分钟的功夫,巫妖王就成功拉起来了上百亿的亡灵炮灰。

而且这些人当中有不少都是身上穿着作战服,可以直接作为一线部队投入战场。

如此惊悚无比的场面顿时让原本已经如同行尸走肉般的以太直接从地上爬了起来,拼命瞪大眼睛想要确认自己不是悲伤过度出现了幻觉。

“现在,我们要做的就是回复这颗星球的工业生产能力,让它源源不断为我的天灾大军提供武器装备,然后以此为基础不断蚕食钛帝国,把他们的子民变成我的死亡仆从。”

Jaina raised her chin slightly and revealed a cold and cruel smile. Her silver-white hair fluttered in the wind under the strong airflow, and she looked full of gloomy and dark charm.

Typhas on the side quickly bent down and flattered in an almost fanatical tone: "Praise you, the supreme Lich King. Your power is unmatched. The entire Tau Empire will become a cold land of death before your sword."

"Humph! Isn't that a matter of course?"

Jaina snorted and walked straight to the only surviving Aether. She looked into his eyes and said word by word: "Go back and tell your High Aether that from now on, the Scourge officially declares war on you. I will use your corpses and territory to create a kingdom of only the dead."

Before he finished speaking!

She gave the poor creature a push.

Ether quickly rolled and crawled into the small spaceship specially prepared for it, and fled from the planet where there were no living people without looking back.

After he successfully returned to his home planet and reported what he had seen and heard to the Supreme Council, the Supreme Ethers, who were already in a state of anxiety, were completely furious.

Because according to the battle reports sent back from the front line, just when the only survivor escaped, Jaina had led the fleet to raid more than a dozen planets in the border area and released the Scourge plague on some of them.

Right now, these planets have basically either been massacred and turned into a world of the dead, or the spread of plague has caused massive population losses.

What’s even more terrible is that the dead bodies will quickly crawl up and become undead, constantly engaging in brutal battles with the living.

The fleets sent out for rescue were either ambushed and wiped out, or they did not dare to land and could only stay in the planet's orbit and carry out bombing.

Otherwise, if just one person is infected with the plague, a large number of crew members on the entire ship will quickly die and turn into undead.

Seeing the bad news coming one after another like snowflakes, the Supreme Ether in the lead could not help but hold his forehead with a look of fatigue and despair, and lamented in a helpless voice: "Are we finally going to start facing the most terrifying side of this universe? Can't we be given a little more time to develop?"

"Don't lose hope. After all, it's only some of the Border Earth planets that have been invaded. We are far from at the end of our rope."

"That's right! Although the enemy's capabilities are terrifying, it doesn't mean we don't have the strength to fight. I suggest that we assemble the fleet immediately and fight a decisive battle with the enemy in space. Without enough warships, they will not be able to spread the plague to more planets."

"But what about those planets that have been infected by the plague? According to the report, even the land, plants and water resources have been affected."

"Use the Shuo Oil. Only this mysterious substance that is almost omnipotent can help us eliminate the trouble forever."

"Are you sure? You know, Shuoyou is not a creation of God that we can control."

"What else can we do? At least this god has good intentions towards us for now."

"By the way, has the Shaskel fleet set out? How long will it take for her to come back?"

"She left the day before yesterday. As for when she can come back, it depends on whether she can get the valuable information we need."

"Well - well, it seems that all we can do now is wait patiently."

As the discussion among the High Aethers concluded, the Tau Empire finally responded to the arrival of the Scourge.

As an emerging force that can linger on the edge of the galactic table, they are obviously not as weak as the human empire imagined.

With an order, a large number of combat fleets began to assemble and advance in groups towards the star region that was suffering from the natural disaster plague.

The goal of these warships is very clear, which is either to force Jaina's fleet back or to fight a decisive battle with the enemy and destroy the enemy's transportation capacity.

After all, the biggest weakness of the Undead Scourge right now is its ability to transport people across planets.

Without sufficient fleets, the Undead would be unable to move between planets in large numbers and perform their signature orbital drops.

However, the Tau clearly underestimated the quantity and quality of the fleet Jaina possessed.

She did not rush into a decisive battle or retreat, but instead waged a guerrilla war in the cracks of the star zone, launching surprise attacks with the terrifying firepower of the Queen of Glory-class battleships, directly damaging or even destroying the enemy's flagship, and then using boarding operations to seize more warships to replenish herself.

As for the Tau's action of dropping shimmering oil on planets ravaged by the Scourge to completely transform the undead, the Lich King almost laughed out loud.

She realized from the beginning that this was obviously Zuo Si's conspiracy.

However, it is not clear yet how his master intends to play with and train this interesting race that believes in the "Greater Good".

But what is certain is that the other party's final fate will be quite miserable, and he may even become a tragic sacrifice.


Recommendation
