Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 309: Human Titanium Army: Join the great Greater Good, or die!

Sanctuary of the Savior.

Ron adjusted a comfortable position on the bed and continued to read and recall relevant information about the Tau people.

No worries at all.

If it was an alien invasion by Necrons, Tyranids, Orks or Eldar, he would still be worried and order the territory to be on full alert or even initiate a new war decree.

However, this time the territory encountered the Tau Empire.

If it's Mr. Titanium, then there's nothing to worry about.

The Tau Empire is still a minor force in the galaxy, with approximately three hundred habitable planets and dozens of small colonies and outposts.

This scale is not only incomparable to the Human Empire, but even the Savior Territory is larger than the Tau Empire.

In fact, Ron didn't have much ill will towards the Tau Empire.

Compared to those monsters in the Purgatory Galaxy, the Tau Empire is simply a pure little white flower.

Their rise was largely due to luck.

Thousands of years ago.

The human empire is carrying out a great expedition under the leadership of the great emperor, visiting the alien neighbors in the galaxy one by one, and sending them gift packs of explosive bombs, light spears, and whirlwind torpedoes.

There is no way around it.

Humans are so fragile, and those aliens are too terrifying and good at betrayal.

This makes humans have a very bad impression of aliens, even to the point of hatred.

To protect yourself.

Under the leadership of the Emperor, humans were forced to eliminate those aliens, resulting in the extinction of large numbers of vicious alien races in the galaxy.

The Great Crusade fleet fought its way to the far eastern border of the Milky Way.

Here humans discovered a group of blue-skinned primitive people who had just learned to use flint to make fire and wooden tools. They lived an idyllic life here.

I didn't feel the horror of the galaxy at all.

Because the Tau are born without psychic powers and are almost insulated from the Warp, their souls are almost invisible in the Warp and are extremely resistant to Chaos.

This allowed them to luckily avoid the invasion of the Warp.

To the human empire, aliens are aliens, even if they are still a group of primitive people, they are enough of a threat.

Who knows, it might develop into a deadly threat to humanity one day.

Such examples are not uncommon in the galaxy.

The Eldar were once the masters of the galaxy and the lords of the stars, and they created a glorious civilization.

While they were enjoying themselves and dancing at their peak, the human ancestors on Earth or ancient Terra were still naked monkeys.

Just tens of thousands of years.

Humans developed rapidly and became the new masters of the galaxy, while the Eldar were so excited that they even lost their Bitter Fork and could only wander around.

From the perspective of the Human Empire, inter-galactic racial competition is so brutal that there is almost no possibility of easing, and any alien may be a new threat.

It must be nipped in the bud!

Therefore, the expedition fleet issued an order to clear out the blue-skinned primitive aliens on the planet in a routine manner to make room for subsequent human colonization.

However, at the moment the fleet arrived.

A warp storm swept across the galaxy, just blocking the Tau homeworld, making it impossible for the fleet to get close, let alone attack.

Under the threat of the storm, the expedition fleet had to abandon the cleansing plan and return the same way after recording the relevant information.

The Imperium of Man has labeled this area the "Chaos Occupied Zone".

Due to various reasons, the cleansing plan for this alien was postponed indefinitely. After that, the Empire experienced many rebellions, and the information about the Tau people almost disappeared in the dust of history.

The Tau people were lucky enough to survive, and over the next few thousand years they developed rapidly and their technology continued to advance.

Moreover, with the thoughtful cleansing of the expeditionary fleet, the vicious aliens in the surrounding areas were basically wiped out, leaving the Tau with almost no rivals during their novice period.

Dominate the entire area.

Today, the technology of the Tau Empire is extremely advanced. Under the leadership of the Ether Clan, they believe in the Greater Good and are willing to absorb other races into becoming one of their own.

Develop together.

They are considered a relatively civilized race.

The concept of the Greater Good is not very complicated, and can be summarized simply as follows:
The collective needs of the Tau Empire take precedence over any individual needs.

All supporters of the Greater Good hold fast to this belief, work hard, fight bravely, and even sacrifice their lives for this great goal.

Under the guidance of the highest good, every action that benefits the collective, no matter how insignificant the contribution, deserves recognition and praise.

And those very few individuals who are arrogant, selfish and endanger the collective will be despised by everyone.

Under the guidance of this more civilized ideology, the cities on the main planet of the Tau Empire developed very well and were basically neat and orderly.

In addition to residential buildings, many exquisite sculptures and beautiful parks were erected to allow the people to live in a good environment.

And safety is guaranteed. The domes and energy barriers in the residential areas can protect the people of the Tau Empire from the harm of the harsh environment or attacks from alien species.

In the Tau Empire, almost all Tau people believe in the Greater Good.

We hope to convey this great and bright idea to all the intelligent alien races in the galaxy, even the barbaric and backward alien civilizations.

They firmly believe in the Greater Good, which unites all civilizations.

It is the lifelong duty and mission of the Tau to spread the Greater Good, as they believe it is not enough to passively wait for other races in the darkness to seek enlightenment.

Therefore, the Tau Empire has never stopped expanding outward. They continue to expand their territory and establish new colonial galaxies.

Whenever the Tau Empire discovers an alien civilization.

They would first send diplomats to visit the local area, conduct friendly negotiations and lobbying, and show those aliens the benefits of the Greater Good and the immense power of the Tau Empire.

If the local alien races are willing to accept the Greater Good, the Tau Empire will immediately begin to colonize the local area, provide various materials and technical assistance, and assign new labor tasks to the local residents.

Let every resource and strength be dedicated to the great, bright and supreme good.

However, not all alien civilizations are willing to accept the teachings of the Tau people.

For those ignorant, stubborn, backward and resistant inferior elements, the Tau Empire will send a powerful army to baptize them with artillery fire.

They do not reject the use of force, which is also a way to spread their beliefs.

But compared to other races in the galaxy, the Tau Empire is relatively civilized. They are not keen on meaningless massacres and destruction after conquering a new civilized world.

They will show mercy to it and strive to preserve the resources and population of this civilized world so that it can continue to contribute to the greater good.

In the eyes of the Tau Empire, those who are short-sighted are not at fault, and the strong should show mercy to them and give them a chance to repent.

So, they would force the captives to undergo re-education and then rebuild the cities that collapsed in the war.

Making it an outpost of the Tau Empire.

Gradually, the Tau Empire rapidly expanded its territory to surrounding galaxies. In the process, it encountered almost no decent opponents and did not experience the crisis of extinction.

The biggest crisis they encountered was the human empire.

In 742.M41, the Imperium of Man launched an expedition to reclaim a sector that had been separated from Terra's rule due to the Warp.

However, when the expeditionary fleet passed through the Damocles Gulf, it discovered that many of the imperial worlds there had fallen to an alien race called the Tau.

When this news was reported, it caused an uproar.

The Human Empire could not allow and would never tolerate such a thing to happen, so it immediately called up its army and launched an attack in the area.

At the beginning, the offensive went very smoothly. The expeditionary fleet defeated the Tau Empire fleet in the Damocles Gulf area and advanced all the way.

Until five months later.

The expeditionary fleet arrives at the homeland of the Tau Empire.

However, due to underestimation of the enemy and various other reasons, the expeditionary fleet suffered a great loss.

This failure made the Human Empire even more angry, and it further increased the size of the expeditionary fleet and sent a large number of reinforcement fleets with multiple levels of battleships.

They are ready to destroy the Tau Empire in one fell swoop!
The Tau Empire knew nothing about this and instead organized more warships to try to engage the enemy.

However, before the Empire could send in reinforcements and let the Tau people taste the pleasure of genocide, the Tyranids appeared in the galaxy and destroyed human planets on a large scale.

to this end.

The expeditionary force had to suspend its plan to attack the Tau Empire and return to resist the invasion of the Terrans.

But in the eyes of the Tau Empire, the Human Empire was defeated and was afraid of the strength of the Tau Army, so it had to retreat.

And just like that, the Tau Empire was victorious once again.

They defeated the armies of the Empire of Man!

This made the Tau more confident.

Believe that their race and the Greater Good have a place in the galaxy.

Now, after hundreds of years of development, the strength of the Tau Empire has made a further leap and has become even more powerful.

Ambitious, they began a new round of expansion, preparing to spread the great, bright, and greatest good to the entire galaxy.

Become the new ruler of the galaxy!
"Ah~
In this comparison, although the Tau Empire is not very strong, it is civilized enough. Compared with them, the Human Empire is like a barbarian..."

Ron summarized the information about the Tau Empire and couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, that's compared to the Empire.

His savior's territory is quite civilized, and its philosophy is a little similar to that of the Tau Empire.

Although there is no supreme virtue in the territory.

But they also believe in collectivism to a certain extent, with everyone working hard, fighting bravely, and even sacrificing their lives for the great savior.

Moreover, every contribution of the savior's people will be rewarded accordingly and they will receive the protection they deserve.

But only in humans.

Ron thought about it.

The Tau Empire is simply the alien version of the savior of the galaxy. There is a high degree of overlap in business between them, and the territories of the two sides are now relatively close.

This is likely to form a direct competitive relationship.

Now, the confident Tau Empire has begun to move out of the Novice Village. They might come to his territory and ask the planets in the territory to join the Greater Good.

There is a high probability that a certain degree of friction will occur.

"I hope there won't be any war..."

Ron frowned slightly.

He had no ill feelings towards the Tau Empire. They were civilized people, and their territory was so small that they posed no threat to him.

The territory does not have much desire to attack civilized aliens now, and will not take the initiative to start a war unless necessary.

What's more, the territory itself has its own alien race, and the Ers State Religion is also trying hard to preach to the aliens.

The reason why the territory can tolerate aliens is mainly because of the savior, Ron, who directly controls the aliens with faith and can highly influence their thoughts and loyalty.

Not too worried about betrayal.

For Ron, the galaxy is becoming more and more dangerous. Perhaps ordinary people in the territory cannot feel it, but in fact, the vast majority of human civilization world.

All are in dire straits.

Just look at what happened in the Charaton area before.

It can almost be said that mankind has entered the end era and is on the brink of destruction.

Try to get any existence that can enhance your strength, survive first, and then discuss whether it is an alien or not.

of course.

In any case, humans are the absolute main body and will not coexist with aliens, eliminating potential threats as much as possible.

Ron ponders a strategy to deal with the Tau Empire.

To be honest, the territory has just experienced a great war, and it is the time when we need to focus on farming. There are plenty of places waiting to be rebuilt and developed.

According to the plan of the Ministry of the Interior, the Chalaton area is officially part of the territory, rather than an affiliated territory.

Therefore, the reconstruction specifications were based on local standards, such as psychic networks, sacred towers, related supporting infrastructure, educational institutions, food supplies, and so on.

Everything has to be arranged.

In this case, as long as the Tau Empire doesn't act rashly in front of him, he'll just let them do what they want.

He didn't really want to start another war.

Ron thought about it and sent a strategy for dealing with the Tau Empire to the Ministry of the Interior.

Let them try to make contact first to see if they can get along in a friendly manner and conduct some exchanges and trade. As long as the other party does not invade the territory, we will not take the initiative to start a war.

After processing the files of the Tau Empire.

He began to look through the documents related to the large-scale development plan for the Chalaton area and planned his next itinerary.

Although Bayev and others took on almost all of the government affairs for him.

But he still has to show up for some patrol work, so as to consolidate the faith in the Savior to a greater extent.

Soon, several more schedules were added to Ron's daily list.

One of them is highlighted.

That is Orms, an important reconstruction pilot planet in the large-scale development plan of the Charaton region. This planet is almost in extreme suffering, and its reconstruction and restoration work will become a typical case.

It is also a window facing hundreds of civilized planets in the Charadon region.

By then, the leaders of almost most planets will come to observe and communicate.

That is a big learning for those who are responsible.

They will work hard to learn the Savior's ideas, and at the same time they will be able to communicate closely with the Savior, and talk about the difficulties, changes and assistance needed on their own planet.

Moreover, the relevant changes on this planet will also be transmitted to all parts of the Chalaton area, letting the people there know that they believe in the Savior.

What a wonderful life will come.

When Ron was done with these things, he put away the tablet and pulled the blanket up to cover his stomach.

Although he could survive in a sub-zero environment without any discomfort, the habit in his genes was still preserved. For the descendants of Yan and Huang, no matter how hot it was, they had to cover their stomachs. At worst, they could turn on the air conditioner. Even if they didn't have a quilt, they had to cover their stomachs with their hands.

Focus on healthy sleep.

The environmental mimicry system continues to operate.

Ron fell into a deep sleep accompanied by the rustling sound of the wind and the chirping of insects, but he soon fell into a dream and had an in-depth communication with Slaanesh again.

The plot of this dream is:

The savior accidentally entered the Titanium Empire, and encountered rounds of physical sieges by the Titanium beauties. Under the terrible torture instruments and temptations, he struggled to resist.

hiss~
In deep sleep.

Ron cursed in a daze, "Damn Slaanesh, is this so appropriate?"
-
The far eastern border of the empire.

The world of human civilization, Carlo.

Inside the Royal Hall.

Colorful ribbons fluttered between the giant windows, and the dome above was covered with patterns depicting many cherubim, most of whom were wielding swords or carrying locked copies of the Holy Scriptures.

The planetary governor sits on the throne, with a row of guards in formal attire below him.

He knocked lightly, looked at the captain of the guards, and said in a low voice: "In the name of the emperor, who is coming?"

The captain of the guards replied solemnly:
"Your Majesty's chief of guards!"

"What's the purpose of this visit?"

"With your permission, I have brought an envoy from the Tau Empire..."

They asked and answered each question in a methodical manner, following the etiquette and procedures that had always been established on this planet.

In the central area of ​​the auditorium, inside the Tau Empire's delegation, the head of the delegation, Shui clan diplomat Yingliu, was watching all this and found it somewhat ridiculous.

When she was younger, this kind of routine diplomacy would have only annoyed and frustrated her.

But now she knew that allowing the ignorant to wallow in their own old traditions was the best way to ensure their peaceful integration into the Tau Empire.

"Human beings are such a stupid, ignorant, and barbaric race."

Shadow thought to himself and sighed, "Their political structure is so corrupt and backward. I can't imagine how they have developed to this point in the galaxy..."

Fortunately, they are lucky enough to be guided by the Tau Empire and the Greater Good.

Suddenly, the voice of the chief guard appeared, full of authority: "You are allowed to come forward."

Shadow led the delegation forward. She looked up and saw the governor and his wives sitting on the throne. They were all wearing layered and gorgeous clothes.

In contrast.

The white robe worn by Shadow Stream is simple yet elegant and more graceful, and it is obviously the result of more advanced textile technology.

More importantly, she has a more noble decoration.

That is the highest good.

Shadow walked forward with calm and graceful steps, a kind of exquisite beauty without being ostentatious.

She bowed deeply to the Governor:

"Dear——"

The Governor said solemnly:
"You are not allowed to talk to us without permission!"

Hearing this, Yingliu fell silent, waiting for the other party's instructions.

The Governor tapped his scepter gently and looked at the Captain of the Guards.

The captain of the guards straightened up immediately.

He spoke with full energy, gesturing towards the person being introduced: "Your Majesty, please allow me to introduce you. This is His Excellency Shadow Stream, the special envoy of the Tau Empire..."

Then he looked at a Kroot - a bird-like beastman and a human assistant: "And Hoxha and Lesven."

This is generally the configuration of the Tau Empire's mission.

A Water diplomat, a Kroot, and assistants of the same species as the one being communicated with, if they can be found.

This is the idea that the Tau Empire wants to express. They hope that all races can work together.

After the introduction.

The Governor tapped his scepter three times.

The captain of the guards looked at the Tau Empire delegation and said, "After your majesty asks the questions, you can speak freely."

Yingliu nodded to show his understanding.

She had a certain degree of patience for these situations, provided the other party's attitude was not too bad.

Finally, the Governor looked up at Shadow Stream:

"What are you planning to do by leading the delegation here?"

"We are here to give your Majesty an opportunity."

The Shadow's voice was light and elegant: "An opportunity that many humans would gladly accept, and would be grateful for, and excited for, an opportunity to join the Greater Good.

It has brought hope to many worlds and brought relief to people from suffering..."

"Humph!"

The Governor's face turned gloomy, and his words were no longer polite: "The opportunity you are talking about is for us humans to submit to the rule of the aliens?"

"His Majesty."

Lesven, the human assistant of the Tau Empire, stepped forward.

Although his attitude was respectful, a hint of superiority could still be heard in his tone: "That is not conquest, but integration. The Tau are willing to accept the joining of other races and enjoy their technology and culture.

My hometown is like this. After being integrated into the Tau Empire, it has achieved further development, escaped from poverty and hardship, and received long-term protection. "

There was a hint of fanaticism in Lesven's tone:
"That is a higher level of civilization. Perhaps you cannot imagine that the civilization of the Tau is so advanced that it is beyond the reach of humans. Even the air on their planet is like this..."

"All right!"

The Governor waved his hand to interrupt Lesven's words, stared at him and asked: "You have abandoned the faith of the Emperor and joined the alien camp. Are you still human?"

"Of course I'm human!"

Lesven seemed to be humiliated. He rolled up his sleeves and showed the imperial double-headed eagle tattoo on his arm and the metal imperial cross wrapped around it:

"There is no doubt that I am still human. The Tau have never interfered with our beliefs..."

Of course, he chose not to say that his faith in the Emperor was close to nothing, and he kept these just to show off his status in front of the Tau people.

Lest they look down on you.

Shadow Flow said:
"Your Majesty, as you can see, we will not let anyone give up their beliefs. Lesven joined us because they saw the prospect of prosperity and hope for the future development of mankind in the Greater Good."

"Yes, we have become more prosperous and happier after integrating into the Tau Empire."

Lesven described and shared this beauty as best as he could: “Your Majesty, you should join us, join a higher level of civilization, that is the path that humans should follow, and under the protection of the Tau Army’s garrison.

The world will also have lasting peace.”

The Governor was furious: "You are all traitors to humanity, just like you, becoming spineless running dogs!
For the sake of safety, you betrayed humanity and your loyalty to the Emperor. This is disgusting!"

He became more and more agitated, and the gemstone scepter shattered under the strong impact: "What a bullshit Greater Good, what you did was just for the sake of temporary stability.

Just selling the future of mankind to aliens.

If the price of peace is to serve as a lackey for the aliens, then we would rather not have this hypocritical peace!"

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words..."

Lesven's expression became serious. With the Tau behind him, he became very confident: "You should know that peace is extremely precious, and you should also know how terrible the Tau Empire is.

What powerful warriors they have!"

He pointed to the bird-like Kroot, Hoxha: “The Kroot played an extremely important role in defeating the Orks, the Zerg, and any heretic and traitor armies that your Majesty knows of, and are almost unmatched.

And they are just the vanguard of our Tau Empire. Even the human allies of our Tau Empire are not something your troops can resist!"

The legendary general of the Tau Empire, Shadowsun of the Fire Caste, once led his army to defeat a squadron of the Tyranids and a group of Orc clans. This has always been a record they are proud of.

When Lesven said this, he was obviously making a veiled threat.

"You are just a lowly and pathetic lackey, barking here for a few bones given by your master."

The Governor looked at Lesven, spat, and pointed to the land under his feet: "You know, this land was once full of aliens.

Those ugly creatures enslaved my ancestors and treated them as slaves and blood food.

After hundreds of years of blood and tears, my ancestors finally defeated the aliens, gained the land they depended on for survival, built cities belonging to humans, and multiplied and thrived. "

He stared at Lesven and said, "Now, you want to let the aliens set foot on this land again. My ancestors will not agree, I will not agree, and my people will not agree.

What's the difference between your so-called Greater Good and conquest, other than the name sounding better?

Alien lackeys, get out with your Greater Good, we humans will never succumb to aliens!"

The Governor had just finished speaking.

Everyone in the auditorium looked at the Tau Empire delegation with cold eyes.

"Pedantic, stubborn, and completely stupid..."

Lesvin showed a hint of sarcasm. These people who were ignorant of the times would eventually surrender under the artillery fire of their Tau Empire.

He looked to Shadow Stream respectfully, seeking advice.

Yingliu sighed slightly. It was obvious that the negotiations would be difficult to continue. The governor's family's past experiences made his attitude tougher than expected.

Moreover, the other party's disdainful attitude towards the Supreme Good also made her lose her patience.

Perhaps the only way is to let the powerful artillery of the Tau Empire conquer the enemy.

Shadow looked at Lesven and nodded slightly.

After getting permission from the Shui clan diplomat, Lesven looked directly at the governor, with an irrefutable authority and intimidation: “Your Majesty, we will give you another chance to choose.

Join the great, bright, greater good, or die under fire..."

This is already a naked threat and also the final warning. If it is rejected again, the planet will be bombarded by the Fire Army of the Tau Empire.

The ignorant, stubborn, backward and resistant inferior elements will all be baptized by artillery fire!
Even in the face of such threats, the governor still refused to surrender.

He looked at Lesven, his eyes full of contempt and disgust: "Sorry, I refuse to associate with any aliens!"

If humans surrendered when faced with threats from aliens and heretics, then there would be no need for them to fight in the first place. They could just continue to be enslaved by those ugly aliens and become their blood food.

How could they give up so easily the freedom they had fought so hard for?
The tragic experiences of our ancestors have been circulating on this planet, serving as a warning to people.

No one wants to be a slave to aliens anymore.

If he, as the governor, dares to take the lead in serving the aliens as dogs, the officials, soldiers and brave subjects under his command will be the first to tear him apart!
Shadow sighed slightly.

She saluted gracefully and spoke in a superior tone:
"It's a pity that Your Majesty rejected our proposal and missed the opportunity to join the Greater Good. Perhaps the Fire Clan's army will make you and this planet change your mind..."

The Governor waved his hand and said, "You can go now!"

The Shadow was not angry. A strong person would not be easily angered by a weak person. They were just foolish people who did not understand the Greater Good.

She turned around and led the Tau Empire delegation away, having already sentenced the governor to death in her heart.

After the delegation left, the auditorium returned to silence.

The Governor sat back on the throne wearily.

The current situation is a bit too bad. This world has lost contact with the empire and has no way to get corresponding support.

That means they need to fight alone.

Fortunately, they are still blessed with the Emperor's faith and have the will to die rather than surrender.

The Governor looked up, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

He looked at the people in the auditorium:
"Everyone, after more than three hundred years, aliens are about to set foot on our land again. What do you think we should do?"

The captain of the guards and the people roared: "For the freedom of mankind, we will fight to the death!"

These were the only words left by the Governor's ancestor, the hero who founded the resistance army, before he died in battle.

Afterwards, his brothers and the resistance forces, relying on this sentence and the spirit of staying, went through decades of struggle before finally driving the aliens out.

"Yes, for the freedom of mankind, we will fight to the death..."

the Governor murmured.

He then issued a full-scale war order, calling on the people of the entire planet to resist the impending alien army.

For a while.

Carlo's army and people took action.

They built one line of defense after another and dug deep trenches in the city, vowing to resist the aliens.

Until the last drop of blood is shed in our homeland!

A few days later.

Royal Auditorium.

On the throne, the Governor is wearing armor and fully armed. He is always ready to lead his guards to fight a decisive battle with the approaching aliens!

But there was deep worry in his eyes.

The alien force called the Tau Empire was so powerful that he had no confidence of winning, and he sent out requests for support.

Still no response.

Perhaps, I can only fight to the death to live up to the glory of my ancestors...

Suddenly, the chief guard came forward, saluted and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, another delegation wants to see you..."

At this moment, the Governor didn't care about those damn cumbersome etiquettes. He said in an irritable tone: "Just say it directly. If it's the delegation of the Tau Empire, let them go!"

The chief guard was a little excited:
“Not the Tau, they’re Imperials.

Those people claimed to be the messengers of salvation of the great savior and primarch Lord Roan, and they had been visiting planets that were in distress and in need of rescue.

They asked if we needed assistance with supplies or weapons..."
