Warhammer 40k: Terra Collector

In a sense, the technology used by the blueskins of the [Tau Empire]... has some similarities with the humans of the former [Golden Age].

It is for this reason that the [Surety Protocol] code sealed in the [Indomitable Truth] can infect the blueskins' intelligent machines.

Most of the technologies of the [Golden Age] have completely disappeared in the desperate [Long Night].

But thanks to the [Mechanicus]'s archaeology for thousands of years, the oilers have done a certain degree of research on the intelligent machines of the [Golden Age].

Through the imitation of the [Surety Protocol] and a little bit of the gift from [Ohm Messiah], the servitors of the Mechanicus finally created a special [Kill Code]!

The existence of this code can cut off the connection between the [Automaton Bee] and the central control system, so that these annoying things completely lose their attack targets...

Following the will of the [Imperial Regent], the captain of the [Death Eye] calmly pressed the red button on the console.

In an instant, a string of extremely complex code runes spread in the form of local broadcast... in this dark universe.

This [Kill Code] has no effect on the Imperial Fleet based on flesh and blood technology.

But for the Blue Fleet that relies heavily on [Intelligent Machinery], the appearance of this code is like a bolt from the blue...

Every blue warship echoed with a shrill alarm.

Within just a few dozen minutes, more than one-third of the [Automatic Bees] fell into a violent state of not distinguishing between friend and foe.

Commander Qingxi grabbed the collar of the Earth Clan scientist, his face full of deep anger and a trace of imperceptible panic.

"What the hell is going on?" Qingxi roared angrily, "I'll give you five minutes to deal with those damned Bees!"

The Earth Clan scientist stared blankly at the operating platform of the [Automatic Bees]...

The binary runes flashing on the screen have reached an extremely complex level!

Even the best Earth Clan scientists have no way to deal with this rune of condensed imperial wisdom...

The goddess of victory has smiled at the Empire! !

The balance of victory and defeat in the war has completely tilted to the human side.

Even though the Earth Clan scientists have tried their best, they still cannot take back the control of the [Automaton Bee] from the [Kill Code].

After losing the assistance of the [Automaton Bee], the huge blue fleet has completely fallen into despair.

Facing the surging offensive from the [Death Watch] fleet, the blue fleet, which had long lost its arrogance and fighting spirit, was forced to retreat step by step.

The defeat of the [Tau Empire] has become a foregone conclusion!

The suffocating macro cannons and light spears intertwined in the cold galaxy!

Facing the dense barrage like raindrops, the [electromagnetic shield] protecting the blue warships soon entered an overload state.

The [electromagnetic shield generator] with a light blue light emitted a harsh noise, and then completely stopped working in a burst of sparks.

And losing the protection of the [Electromagnetic Shield] means that the Blue Fleet has lost the last possibility of a comeback! !

The artillery fire of the Imperial Fleet surged like a tide!

The flames of the macro cannon and torpedo explosions briefly illuminated the dark void.

The warships operated by the Blues were being turned into space junk by the fierce artillery fire from the [Death Watch] fleet at a terrifying speed.

…

At the same time, in the flagship of the [Tai Empire].

Qingxi, the legendary commander of the [Tai Empire], was slumped in his chair.

Facing the ancient and huge Imperial Fleet, Qingxi's arrogance and fighting spirit had been completely crushed in failure after failure.

Even if the Blues were unwilling to admit it, the demise of the [Tai Empire] had become a foregone conclusion.

The Imperial Fleet gradually approaching the home world made Qingxi extremely angry.

But in this cold and crazy galaxy, absolute strength is the right to speak for everything.

The [Tai Empire], which had just been born for hundreds of years, did not have enough power! So... apart from the anger that can ignite the void, what Qingxi and the blues can do now is actually very limited!

Qingxi's proud command ability and war talent are useless in the face of the overwhelming strength of the [Imperial Fleet].

The only thing this blue can do now is to preserve the living force for the [Tai Empire] as much as possible.

Although surrendering to the empire that hates aliens is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, in the face of eternal destruction and death... a bold attempt seems to be another possibility.

"Send a ceasefire request to the [Imperial Fleet]! The [Tai Empire] is willing to pay a sufficient price for its past actions." Just a few words seemed to drain Qingxi's all strength.

The legendary commander of the [Tai Empire] slumped in his chair, his blue eyes full of anger and death.

Everything that the [Tai Empire] has accumulated for thousands of years will be destroyed today! !

As an alien killer, the [Death Watch] can be said to hate the existence of the [Tai Empire] deeply! !

The loyal [Angels of Death] originally planned to bring destruction to every corner of the Blueskin Empire.

But the [Imperial Regent] and the [Lion King] had their own plans.

The [Death Watch] fleet finally agreed to the aliens' ceasefire request.

Accompanied by a sizzling sound of electricity passing through, Qingxi's face full of death and decadence appeared in front of the Imperial Regent.

For this blue-skinned man who single-handedly shouldered the decline of the entire [Tau Empire], the Imperial Regent still had some respect for him.

Qing Xi was already prepared to be humiliated by the imperial regent, but unexpectedly... the giant in golden armor only showed a faint smile.

For the crew members of the [Death Watch] fleet, the smile of the Imperial Regent is full of tenderness and hope...

But in the eyes of Qingxi and the blueskins at this moment, this smile is no different from the devil's smile.

The Imperial Regent and Qing Xi looked at each other across the screen! No one between the two parties had the intention to speak first, and the air... was filled with a suffocating silence.

"First meeting, Commander Qingxi!" The imperial regent was the first to break the silence.

"Although this is our first meeting, I know your noble status and identity very well!" Qing Xi bowed to the imperial regent in great humiliation.

"On behalf of the entire [Tau Empire], I surrender to the ancient human empire!" Qingxi sighed quietly.

"Honored [Emperor's Sons], we are willing to pay the price of ten [Family Worlds] to repay the damage caused by this war to the Human Empire..."

Although Qing Xi has the status of [Legendary Commander], in the final analysis... his vision is still limited to the one-third of an acre of [Tau Empire].

Qing Xi, who devoutly believes in the Supreme Good, has no idea how dark and crazy this cold galaxy is...

"Commander Qingxi, you seem to think that this galaxy is too beautiful!" There was a hint of contempt on the corner of the imperial regent's mouth.

"A war between two races is always a battle that determines survival! The failure of a racial war cannot be solved by simply ceding territory and paying compensation."

There was a hint of unexplainable light in the eyes of the Imperial Regent, "Most of the time, failure often means destruction!"

There was a hint of despair on Qing Xi's face!

Facing the terrifying oppression from the empire, the blue-skinned fleet, which had suffered heavy losses, did not even have a chance to defeat the enemy...

But at this moment, the Imperial Regent suddenly changed the subject: "If Ryan were here, your [Homeworld] might have been burned into a glass ball by now."

"But I personally don't like too much killing! In a sense, rivers of blood cannot make this universe a better place!"

The Imperial Regent leaned on the throne in the command cabin and stared at Qing Xi on the communication screen with a profound look.

Of course Qingxi can read the implication of the imperial regent! !

The Imperial Regent is trying to make the [Tau Empire] surrender to humanity! If the blueskins insist on fighting for freedom to the end, then [Emperor's Sons] certainly won't mind throwing in a few more extermination orders!

Facing death so close at hand, Qing Xi fell into a long silence.

Every second that follows feels like an eternity to the blueskins.

All the blueskins are waiting with bated breath, waiting for Commander [Qing Xi] to finally decide the future fate of the [Tau Empire].

After struggling for a long time, Qing Xi finally made this difficult decision!

"Great [Emperor's Son], as long as the [Tau Empire] can be preserved... we are willing to accept any price you offer!" Qing Xi's voice was full of humiliation.

"You made the right choice! If that's the case, then we don't have to spend so much time committing crimes." The imperial regent showed a sincere smile.

With the approval of the Imperial Regent, the captain of the [Death Eye] slowly removed his palm from the button marked with the skull emblem.

At the same time, the [Atmospheric Incineration Torpedo] that had just slipped out of the bomb bay was also re-hoisted into the arsenal by the giant mechanical arm.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of gears and machinery operating, this weapon that was enough to plunge the entire world into deathly silence entered the blockade state again.

At this moment, a drop of cold sweat visible to the naked eye flowed from Qing Xi's forehead.

The commander knew very well that if the choice made a few minutes ago had gone wrong...then the blue-skinned [home world] might have turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Now that the blueskins are ready to pay a sufficient price, the Imperial Regent will naturally not waste too much time.

The imperial regent wearing [Holy Armor] stood up from the throne and displayed a contract written in Gothic in front of Qing Xi.

"After signing this contract, the [Tau Empire] will forever become a vassal of mankind! From now on until the destruction of the universe, you all need to contribute everything to the great master of mankind."

Qing Xi herself has not studied any language other than [Tau]. After being translated by a Water Tribe diplomat... the commander roughly understood the details of this contract.

In the usual sense, this contract is full of unequal treaties!

Once Qing Xi signs this contract, she will become an eternal sinner of the [Tau Empire].

"Great [Emperor's Son], after signing this contract... what can we get?" Qing Xi asked the imperial regent the last question.

"You can be protected by the Lord of the Empire and Humanity!" The Imperial Regent answered the commander's question lightly, "Then... you can survive for a long time in this crazy galaxy."

Commander Qing Xi got the answer he wanted!

Faced with freedom and survival, the commander finally chose the latter.

"On behalf of the unconscious [Taijun], I accept your terms." Qingxi uttered these words with all her strength.

There is no doubt that in the next ten thousand years... the name of [Qingxi] will be nailed to the pillar of shame by the entire [Tai Empire].

Although the conditions offered by the Imperial Regent are high-sounding, in essence... after signing this contract, all the worlds of the Tai people will become colonies of the Empire.

The great expedition led by the [Emperor] ten thousand years ago almost spread the glory of mankind and the Empire throughout the galaxy.

It is precisely because of this that the belief of [human supremacy] permeates the entire empire...

It can be imagined that when the [Tai Empire] is officially incorporated into the Empire, the [Tai people] will be classified as second-class citizens.

The Empire will not take action against the Tai people, but the contempt engraved in their bones... will accompany the blue skin until the end of their lives.

…

It has become an established fact that the [Tau Empire] has become a colony of the Empire.

While the [Imperial Regent] officially occupied the home world, the Dark Angel Fleet on the other side of the Damocles Gulf... also welcomed the enemy that the [Lion King] had been waiting for for several years.

It was a strange fleet that was shining with silver-white light.

This fleet included warships produced from the Empire's [Forge World] and blue-skinned warships from the [Tau Empire]...

And more of them were strange warships using unknown technology!

Even with the [Lion King]'s vision of traversing the universe for thousands of years, he could not match the warships in this fleet one by one...

"[Randan Alien]? As the Imperial Regent expected, you finally decided to abandon the [Tau Empire], a burden." The Lion King's lead-gray pupils flickered with an uncertain light.

Long before the Imperial Regent set out on the road to the [Home World], Gawain and Ryan had a brief meeting.

The reason why [Lion King] Ryan is so concerned about the existence of [Tau Empire] is not because he is afraid of those naive blue skins...

What really concerns Ryan is the [Randan Alien] hidden in the [Tau Empire] from beginning to end!!

It is also because of the [Lion King]'s request that the Regent of the Empire has been observing the movements of [Randan Alien] through the power of fate...silently.
