Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Kerr then made it clear that they could refuse, but if they chose to refuse to join the battle, they would leave directly and the city would be destroyed soon to prevent them from becoming a force for chaos.

I am not a Tau, I do not believe in the Greater Good, and there is no need for me to be kind to you.

Either take up arms and prove your safety and worth, or continue to hide in the city and wait for death.

In this situation, it is clear what choice the Tau people should make.

~~~~~~~~~

boom--!

The Tau [Devil Ray] armored personnel carrier with the mark of Tzeentch was destroyed by the explosion of [Fortress], which also meant that the simple defense line in the northwest was completely breached.

Although this simple defense line composed of a large number of Mechanicals alone caused considerable losses to the invading rebellious Tau, the Tzeentch forces, which were the main force, suffered almost no losses.

The mixed force continued to advance towards the city, but a small number of Tzeentch forces stopped when passing the landing point where the Pathfinders had already evacuated.

"Yes... made them! They are the 'offspring' of the key." A Tzeentch who looked obviously weak stroked the marks on the ground and said. "Accident, change, opportunity!"

"And the weapons of the ancient saints, failed! I foresaw failure!"

"I need to notify the [Gate of All Worlds] that we need a new plan!"

． ． ． One hour later ． ． ．

The Hammerhead's orbital artillery shells exploded in the city, and under the leadership of the Tzeentch believers, these Tau soldiers who were deceived and rebelled, burst into a frenzy equivalent to the previous appearance of the Aether on the battlefield, and launched an attack on the so-called "blasphemers" in the city in the name of the Greater Good.

These Tau soldiers did not realize that they were just cannon fodder to Tzeentch, nor did they realize that they were killing their own compatriots for a ridiculous reason.

In the city, the Pathfinders also suffered the expected event - attacks from traitors in the city.

A team of Tau warriors from the Fire Caste launched an attack on Kel and his men, saying that they were launching a crusade against the vicious humans for the survival of their compatriots - and then they were knocked down by a group of chameleons.

These skin lizards, armed with specially made metal blowguns, were further genetically modulated light units. They controlled these enemies using the most primitive method - poisoned blowguns, and escorted them to Captain Kel.

"So, how do your blowguns penetrate their power armor?" Kerr asked the leading chameleon.

"...ancient saints, black technology." After a brief silence, the chameleon explained to Kerr using his limited knowledge.

"That's really dark..."

Then, Kerr looked at the Fire Clan warrior who had led the rebellion and whose helmet had been taken off.

"Despicable human, we will not..."

"It's still fluorescent..."

"what?"

Kerr's words disrupted what the Fire Clan warrior was about to say.

"How long has it been since you last looked in a mirror?"

"Look in the mirror? I can't...why...can't I..."

Kerr signaled to the Mechanicus followers around him to shine a special light on the head of the Fire Caste warrior, and a symbol of Tzeentch appeared.

A Tau standing with Kerr was the first to show an incredible expression, because in his impression, the Fire Caste warrior in front of him could be said to be the most loyal to the Greater Good - even he rebelled? !

boom!

Without hesitation, Cole shattered the rebel's head with the grenade in his hand, and his body was dragged away by the chameleons.

"How's the battle going?"

"That man just now was the only one of our own who launched an attack at this time." Technical Sergeant Farr said. "Almost all the surviving Tau people took up arms and began to resist the attack, and some of the enemy Tau enemies also wavered as expected."

"They are engaged in a fierce street battle, and the Tzeentch troops behind them are about to arrive at the battlefield."

"Cullis and Duke's troops have left the battle and are heading here as planned, trying to surround and annihilate the enemy attacking here."

"Very good." Farr said. "But before that, we need to hold these enemies back as long as possible."

"Let's go, brother."

. . . . . .

Biubiubiu－－!

Different Tau forces engaged in fierce street fighting along the complex city.

The side bewitched and corrupted by Chaos clearly had a greater advantage, and used it to suppress the remnants of the defeated troops defending the city.

But this situation suddenly began to reverse after the Pathfinder joined the battle.

The first to appear was the MKII Battle Terminator Armor, which was unique to the Pathfinder Regiment. It combined technologies from several universes and existed like a living arsenal.

This super-heavy Terminator armor has explosive firepower output and is similar in speed and flexibility to ordinary [Indomitable Terminator Armor] - if it were placed in an ordinary regiment, it could be worshipped as a holy relic.

Just one [MKII Combat Terminator Armor] suppressed an entire street of enemy Tau Fire Clan warriors. Four plasma machine guns shot out small blue plasma spheres, which almost covered the entire street like rain.

Ordinary Fire Clan warriors with only light armor were quickly killed, and only those enemy units wearing thicker combat uniforms had a certain ability to counterattack.

Then, the scattered pulse bombs and ion beams were unable to penetrate the first layer of shield of the heavy armor. At this moment, the plasma cannons on both shoulders of the Terminator armor opened fire.

The even hotter plasma beam directly burned through the two combat suits along with the drivers inside.

In the air, several Tau Piranha reconnaissance fighters were being chased by the Lizardmen's Beaked Dragons. These flying units were equipped with small thrusters and were modulated to effectively compete with enemy fighters for air superiority, and...

Several Piranha reconnaissance fighters seized the opportunity to counterattack the flying creatures chasing them. However, when the bullets were about to hit the fiery red beaked dragons, they suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of the fighters.

"!"

Its sharp claws tightly grasped the hull of the fighter plane, and the lizard sitting on it jumped into the cockpit with a beam spear in hand and pierced the driver's chest.

The remaining firepower operator on the fighter plane was also bitten by the beaked dragon and then thrown out of the air.

On the other side, a Beaked Dragon pierced the armor of an enemy fighter with its sharp beak, threw it out of the air, and finally crashed to the ground.

The larger and more powerful [Barracuda] fighter came to the rescue, and its sufficient firepower immediately dispersed the Beaked Dragons that were chasing the reconnaissance aircraft, but then a huge Feathered Serpent appeared in front of it.

Sizzle－－!

A burst of lightning shot out from the Quetzalcoatl's mouth and directly hit the barracuda that came to the rescue, knocking it down.

The rebellious Tau forces were being routed, and this young race of kings was no match for the ancient weapons - even though the latter were still fighting with cold weapons a few years ago.

The pterodactyls and rhinoceros in the air cooperated with the huge feathered serpent to shoot down batch after batch of Tau aircraft. On the ground, the Pathfinder led the remaining Tau defenders and drove the traitors back.

But as a massive firestorm arose and drove the terrified Tau forces back, Kerr realized that the real battle had only just begun.

"For the Lord of Change!"

353. Pathfinder's External Combat (IV)

Bang bang——!

Biubiubiu!

Boom! Boom!

[Pathfinder] Space Marines and Lizardmen joined the battlefield, and the situation was reversed almost instantly. The Tau soldiers alone were unable to compete with these elite troops (at least those with the best equipment), and were quickly suppressed and driven out of the city.

The Tzeentch troops that took them in would naturally not watch them collapse, and a blue wall of fire appeared, engulfing some of the retreating Tau soldiers and blocking the retreat of the others.

A Tzeentch fire demon swept through the air, and scorching warp flames fell like a waterfall, driving the retreating Tau troops back.

Some Tzeentch demons even used powerful Warp spells to capture dozens of Tau people and transform them into twisted Chaos Eggs.

After seeing this scene, the rebellious Tau warriors finally realized that these twisted beings had never considered them as part of their group, and that the "greatest good" they spoke of was just a lie.

"This is a betrayal. You promised. In the name of the Greater Good..."

The Tau commander in combat uniform was arguing with the reason, and the next moment he was grabbed by the Tzeentchian Daemon in front of him using his psychic power like a chicken and lifted up.

"The Greater Good? You, a new species, don't understand this universe at all~"

"You and your troops, your entire race, don't matter!"

"You are just the victims of our plan. Your fate is already determined!"

"You...you guys..."

The powerful psychic energy directly squeezed the Titanium commander into a ball of metal and flesh and blood, and threw him aside.

"Attack! Capture his offspring alive! All for the Lord of Change!"

The Lord of Change shouted, and the demon army rushed towards the Tau city, destroying everything in sight.

After giving the order to attack, the Tzeentch turned around and said to the group of people behind him: "Take our 'prisoners' away. They will become our pathfinders in the future..."

"I will lure them deeper into the water."

. . . . . .

The addition of Tzeentch's troops has brought the battle back to an even stalemate. Although the Pathfinder Space Marines and Lizardmen have certain advantages in technology and equipment, their numbers are still too small.

A large number of Tzeentch's Blue Horrors and Pink Horrors threw magical flames at the enemies in front of them, trying to suppress the few Space Marines and Fire Caste warriors in front of them.

Mortal wizards who believed in Tzeentch arrived soon after and cast blasphemous spells at their enemies, but the next second a large number of flashing plasma spheres fell from the sky.

【Third generation artillery SPARK】

This weapon came from the XCOM world and was originally a legacy left by the world-famous engineer to his daughter. It was a weapon to fight against aliens. However, due to the intervention of Zhang Yi and others, it basically never killed any aliens.

Nowadays, most of the automatic robots of this type serve humans in the areas of people's livelihood and public security warfare. A very small number of special models that have been modified beyond recognition serve in the [Pathfinders].

A round of plasma grenades falling from a distance successfully interrupted the enemy's attack, and then a squad of Space Marines rushed out of their respective bunkers and opened fire at the target in front of them.

Sizzle－－!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh－－!

The human Chaos Wizards and Demons released psychic lightning and magic fireballs towards the Space Marines who were rushing towards them at high speed, but the opponent's extremely strong psychic resistance made him completely ignore these weak spells.

Bang bang bang－－!

Special bombs engraved with dwarven runes were fired, expelling the fallen mortals and weaker demons back into the Warp, while the enemy's sporadic and scattered counterattacks were unable to penetrate the energy shields of the Pathfinder Space Marines.

The battle went straight into the melee stage. The Pathfinder Space Marines armed with energy blades used Hammer of Punishment on the demons and believers who were not good at close combat. This made the opponent's spells useless - not only did they have no effect on the target, they might also hurt their own people by mistake.

Zizi--whoosh!

Click!

The sudden heavy weapons attack, after piercing through several Chaos Cultists in its path, hit one of the Space Marines, overloading his energy shield.

The attacker was a Tau combat suit that had grown blue tentacles. It was shaking and trembling as it approached the battlefield.

Zizi--whoosh!

The second railgun was fired, and the Pathfinder Space Marine that was targeted raised his left arm and deployed his directional energy shield to block the attack. The Space Marine also used the force to hide behind a cover.

The Space Marine behind the cover added an extended battery to the barrel of the grenade launcher in his hand, and replaced the ordinary magazine with a magazine with dwarven rune symbols.

Zizi--whoosh!

The third shell struck and pierced through the bunker where he was, but the Pathfinder Space Marine who was the target had already run out in advance and fired at the target with his bolter.

Aiming at armor-piercing, the railgun barrel further increased the speed of the bullet, and combined with the dwarven runes' inhibitory power against demons and the warp, the several bullets fired penetrated the controlled Tau battle suit almost unhindered and expelled the controller.

. . . . . .

The battle here has come to a temporary halt, and on the other side, Kerr, the commander of the Pathfinder Legion, is leading his team in a head-on battle with the great demon who leads this Tzeentch army.

Wu Mo, holding an energy spear, pierced a Chaos Egg of Tzeentch. The special energy on the spear blade quickly weakened the twisted Chaos Egg.

Then, the huge Chaos Egg was lifted up and thrown towards the screaming monsters.

thump--!

The Chaos Egg fell heavily to the ground, crushing a bunch of fear monsters. Before Wu Mo could pause, the strange Tzeentch fire monster sprayed constantly changing dimensional flames at him.

The raging flames instantly engulfed it, but then, Wu Mo, holding a short-handled hammer flashing with dwarven runes, rushed to the front of the fire demon in the scorching flames and pinched its mouth that was spraying flames.

"Die!"

Bang--!

A heavy hammer smashed the fire demon into pieces and expelled it back into the warp, but at this moment, more enemies appeared in his sight.

"Continue." Seeing this scene, Wu Mo was not panicked at all, and took out the spear he had used at the beginning and said, "Whoever is cowardly is a grandson!"

"...your brother is really good at fighting." The leader of the group, the Great Tzeentch Demon [Scribe] Salt, said as he watched Wu Mo being beaten by a group of powerful demons. "But, does the infinite world only allow you to pursue force?"

"This is really..."
