The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Feeling the invisible threat from the Dimensional Spider Bishop, Shou'an, as if the opponent's blade was already against his neck, swallowed hard and moved his feet closer to the combat suit, seemingly trying to gain a little security from it.

However, when Solzhenitsyn raised his hand, Makhno still put away his blade.

"Shou'an, the T'au and the Human Empire have had many wars. You should have witnessed the Empire's Knights and Titans, so you had the idea of developing this kind of large combat suit, right?"

"I...I won't say anything. This is top secret. We swore an oath before the Ethereals, and we will die rather than reveal it."

Solzhenitsyn stared at him, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the crystal ball. With a light touch of his finger, many images appeared in mid-air. They were still the images of those T'au prisoners being executed, and there were also captured Earth Caste scientists tied together, surrounded by a group of growling carnivores.

Not only the images, but their prayers, screams, and shouts also came with them.

Shou'an looked at all this in horror, shaking his head non-stop.

"No, no... this can't be."

Solzhenitsyn looked at him.

"Shou'an, if I say that as long as you hand over all the data and information about this new combat suit, they can live, are you willing?"

Shou'an was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly stepped forward and said loudly:

"I am willing! I am willing!"

This surprised Solzhenitsyn a little. He reached out and turned off the images, and asked:

"Didn't you say you swore an oath with your life?"

"I can't sacrifice the lives of others for my own oath! Especially those young people, they still have a great future and potential, and they shouldn't just die like this."

"Isn't this combat suit more important than their lives?"

"How can any equipment be more important than life!? Equipment can be redeveloped. As long as you work hard and study hard, there will always be better ones! No weapons or equipment will not be outdated, or rather, everything is outdated from the moment it is born, but if life is lost, their potential and knowledge will also be lost. This is the real loss! Only living people can develop newer and better things!"

Solzhenitsyn was silent for a long time, until he turned around and let out a sigh that was as light as nothing, but no one knew why he sighed.

"Tell me about the general situation of this combat suit."

Shou'an did not hesitate, and directly introduced the beginning and end of the Riptide combat suit's development, including its performance and many new functions, and even opened the cockpit for Solzhenitsyn to browse its control system.

".The specific data and internal structure are on my personal computer. If you want, I can turn it on."

After listening to the introduction, Solzhenitsyn did not choose to ask for Shou'an's computer, but said indifferently:

"Doral, order the collection of those captured Earth Caste and Water Caste non-combatants."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Shou'an quickly said:

"There are others——"

"The invaders must pay the price, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the residents of this world. Shou'an, I don't want the detailed data of this Riptide combat suit, and I won't let them go, but as part of the promise, I can spare those Earth Caste scientists and Water Caste personnel."

"Invaders...no...it's not like this, they are just carrying out missions...they thought those captured civilians were hiding here..."

Solzhenitsyn stared at the other party. Even through the mask, Shou'an could feel the cold gaze.

"Shou'an, your brain shouldn't be dull. I think you should be able to think of some questions, such as when you came to this world, did you find any spacefaring vehicles?"

Shou'an hesitated for a long time, and finally uttered two words.

"...No."

"Then how can a group of people without spacefaring vehicles cross the stars to your world to capture people?"

"But the appearance characteristics described by the survivors...only the residents of this world match..."

"A Fire Warrior shot and killed someone, but there was only an Earth Caste at the scene. Others described the murderer as a T'au, so I thought this Earth Caste shot and killed the person, so I slashed him with a sword. Do you think this is correct?"

"Of course...incorrect."

Solzhenitsyn spread his hands.

"But I can't tell you apart, is this my fault?"

Shou'an opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. In fact, he had been immersed in the debugging and data collection of the equipment, and completely ignored the specific situation of the war or the cause and effect, and even until the defeat, he didn't realize what happened. The T'au Empire's caste system not only divides their work and life, but also cuts off their ability to think as a complete social individual and participate in the overall social operation.

"Shou'an, what did you come here for?"

"To obtain the combat data of the combat suit."

"So you don't really care whether those people who were captured are here, and you don't care whether the residents here really attacked your people, right?"

Shou'an lowered his head, speechless.

"So, those Fire Caste also know very well what they are doing. You, I can explain it with not caring and not understanding, but they...must be knowingly doing it. Ah, in fact, this matter is not complicated, and it is indeed not the fault of the Fire Caste. The root cause is the recklessness, arrogance, ignorance and greed of your so-called Ethereals, which ultimately led to this tragedy. Everything is just pretending to be confused."

Saying that, Solzhenitsyn stretched out his hand, and a golden ball flew over from the tray in the distance, and then projected many images in mid-air, all of which were images of the Comorragh conspiracy group.

"Take a good look, Shou'an. It was this group of people who attacked your world. Didn't your survivors describe their style and equipment?"

The Earth Caste scientist stared blankly at those frenzied Eldar, then muttered to himself:

"I heard that the survivors described the attackers as wearing green armor...but there were many blades and spikes, and their vehicles were decorated with many blades...so that's how it is."

"I don't think your Ethereals would fall for such a simple trick."

Solzhenitsyn turned off the golden ball.

"But it doesn't matter, I will ask them myself."

After that, Solzhenitsyn walked to a Hammerhead and put his hand on the hatch.

"Tell me more about your other weapons."

A cruel and bloody day passed quietly. While the spindle drones were still wandering around the earth to clean up the battlefield ruins, Solzhenitsyn officially met the royal family members and clan representatives of the Kingdom of Lilar Suthus in the royal palace. The current king of this barbaric kingdom is Sengupta. He has two wives and three sons and one daughter—it is not that the marriage system here is polygamous, but because his wives are twins, so they can share a husband.

Sengupta's eldest son is Prince Ivan, who is very brave and good at fighting. He destroyed nineteen T'au combat suits in the war and killed more than five hundred T'au Fire Warriors. He can be described as sweeping across the army. Moreover, he is not only a warrior, but also has very excellent psychic talent, that is, a Battle Psyker.

Although such an excellent prince led the resistance, the Kingdom of Lilar Suthus still suffered heavy losses. However, unlike the Kingdom of Linnaeus, because the kingdom has semi-permanent troops, the casualties are mainly on the Dragon Knight Regiment and the militia. The casualties of women and children are not large, but this also makes the kingdom lose a large number of young adults, which is a very heavy blow to the barbaric kingdom with a small population.
