Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

I kind of doubt whether I heard it wrongly.

Weren't we just telling them to prepare to retreat? How come we've won now?

Isn't this right?

Could it be that the Tau had tampered with their star language?

I haven't heard that the Tau people have this ability!

The attendant stammered:

"Also, there is more..."

Lyon urged:

"What else? Say it quickly!"

"They told us to prepare to evacuate."

Lyon remained silent. Why would they evacuate after winning?

He didn't think the space fleet was lying, because if they didn't win, they wouldn't have had a chance to evacuate.

But the space fleet still requested to evacuate, which could only mean one thing.

The planet was abandoned.

He had experienced something similar before, on a planet invaded by orcs.

The situation there has deteriorated to the point where it cannot be resolved, and the planet itself is not of much value.

Giving up becomes inevitable.

But in order to prevent the orcs from occupying there, the Empire's choice is also simple...

Leon took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Then live on! Live until they come to rescue us!"

As he spoke, he smiled at his guards:

"It seems that you can't go to the Golden Throne for the time being."

Chapter 120 As we all know, Warhammer is a turn-based game

Alaro City, a small city with a population of only tens of millions.

But as the capital and only hive city of Aris Ipsilon, it still faced the threat of the Tau at the beginning of the war, because both sides knew that no matter who occupied the city of Araro, the whole world would change hands.

Millions of Fire Warriors were deployed in the ground war, in addition to tens of thousands of Kroot and Guvisa's vassal troops.

Their enemy, the local PDF, only had 500,000 people.

If there is anything to be thankful for, it is that the PDF's training is not perfunctory. Thanks to the local planetary governor being a retired veteran of the Astra Militarum, the PDF reorganized on the entire planet is organized and trained according to the standards of the Astra Militarum.

The planetary governor had intended to pay them as tithes to the empire, but no one expected that they would first face the test of war.

The two sides fought each other in this hive city. Every block, every street, every bridge and even every house was the focus of contention between the two sides and changed hands repeatedly during the war.

However, faced with the enemy's greater numbers and better equipment, the defense of the nest city gradually fell. The remaining tens of thousands of PDFs retreated all the way to the Governor's Palace, where they put up a final desperate resistance.

Governor Lyon is still inspecting the defense lines, checking and correcting the mistakes and omissions in each line of defense.

But at one of the lines of defense, the Governor stopped.

He looked at the young PDF in surprise:

"Why haven't you run yet?"

"grown ups……"

The soldier's face turned red as the others laughed, and he stammered, unable to explain why.

Leon saw his embarrassment and did not embarrass him. Instead, he patted his shoulder encouragingly:

"The Emperor will reward his loyal warriors, soldier. Your bravery will earn you redemption. The Emperor will forgive you!"

Leon's expression was extremely serious, and you could tell he was serious.

But the soldier just lowered his head, feeling a little guilty.

He still didn't understand the Emperor or the Empire. He didn't have such a high level of awareness and didn't have a devout belief in the Emperor. In fact, before the Empire reoccupied this place, the locals didn't even have much of a concept of the "Empire".

Even to this day, they only know that the Imperium of Man is huge, as big as the Tau, or bigger.

As for how big it is exactly, how would people like them know?

He actually wanted to run away.

But he didn't dare, for he was afraid that someone would shoot him from behind while he was running.

Moreover, he heard that the Empire had reinforcements, so they might not lose the war.

So he stayed, staying in PDF to resist the attack of the Tau.

He didn't know what it meant to hedge his bets, but he knew a local proverb:

Fuel cells cannot be placed in the same box.

Because if one of the batteries catches fire, the other batteries will also be affected.

Families without fuel cell supplies often starve to death within a few days.

If the Empire triumphed, his death should earn his family forgiveness.

If the Tau won the war, his family would also be treated well by the Tau.

No matter what the outcome, his family would always survive.

"Enemy attack!"

He heard the sentry's hoarse roar, and he quickly lay down behind the defense line and stuck his head out to observe.

The Tau were attacking them, and with the help of the veterans, he was able to distinguish the basic categories of the Tau. Those wearing good armor were Fire Warriors, those with strange shapes were Kroot, and those "people" using weapons issued by the Tau were Guvisa.

They are traitors to humanity.

So declared the Governor.

But he didn't actually have much hatred towards these people, just some envy.

At least under the governance of the Titans, they can live much better than they do now.

But when he actually met these people, he felt that he was not so envious.

At least the Governor was fighting on the same line of defense as them, while these 'Guvisas' always rushed ahead of the Fire Warriors.

He didn't know whether the Guvisa were used as cannon fodder by the Tau or they were at the forefront to show their loyalty to the Tau. But for some reason, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and felt that being ruled by the Tau didn't seem so worth looking forward to.

"Emperor!"

He never truly believed in the Emperor, but he still said, "Please grant me courage and strength!"

He said, pulling the trigger.

The laser passed through the battlefield and failed to hit Guvisa in front of it, but accidentally shot through the head of a fire warrior.

The laser gun is not as powerful as the pulse gun, but it is just as deadly when it hits a person.

Humans cannot withstand the fire warriors' pulse guns, and fire warriors cannot withstand humans' laser guns. Anyone who is hit will die.

The defense line was quickly breached.

Their heroic resistance did not bring them victory.

It was difficult for the Fire Warriors and Guvisa to break through their defenses, but when those huge XV8s appeared on the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse.

Although the PDF's heavy bolters and missile launchers could destroy them, they were too few in number, and faced with the overwhelming XV8s rushing towards the position, the battle quickly turned into a massacre.

The heavy weapons positions destroyed several XV8s, but they were soon destroyed by the enemy's long-range missiles because their positions were exposed. The laser guns in their hands could not effectively kill the enemy at all, and it was difficult to even leave a scratch on the XV8.

The young soldier leaned behind the defense line and struggled to change his magazine.

Just as he was about to stick his head out to shoot, a large shadow fell from above his head, and the Tau XV8 stood in front of him, looking down at him.

Fear briefly seized his mind, but he soon gritted his teeth and roared:

"Go to hell! Alien!"

He raised the laser gun and pulled the trigger at the enemy.

The laser hit the XV8's armor, and the huge battle suit exploded instantly.

A burst of plasma penetrated, or melted, the upper part of the combat suit, vaporizing its entire cockpit. The broken armor was still melting and dripping down.

He stared at all this in a daze, looking at the laser gun in his hand with some disbelief.

Is this thing so powerful?

He was still doubting his life when he suddenly heard the roar of an engine coming from the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several XV8s were destroyed by the sudden attack from the sky, and the white mecha landed on the battlefield. The huge body and thick armor gave people a great sense of security.

"attack!"

He heard the Governor's hoarse but excited voice.

He turned around and found the Governor's expression very interesting.

There was some surprise and shock at seeing Zaku, but also some ecstasy at the arrival of reinforcements on the battlefield.

But in any case, the tide of the war turned again.

Under the cover of Zaku, the battle line began to be quickly pushed back!

The Tau quickly organized a counterattack, but no matter whether it was the XV8's pulse rapid-fire cannon or plasma gun, their weapons would be blocked by the shield on the surface of the Zaku. And every shot of the Zaku, every plasma shot could easily destroy an XV8, and only those very few XV8s equipped with shields survived!

Just like when XV8 was slaughtering PDF just now, these Tau people's invincible war machines are being slaughtered by Zaku!

Under the cover of Zaku, PDF quickly regained the position and drove the Tau out of the palace area.

The Fire Warriors began a hasty retreat, leaving their Guvisan allies behind.

They were not frightened by the Zaku, but by even more frightening intelligence from outer space.

Their fleet was destroyed.

This was not direct intelligence from the fleet, because the fleet did not even send out any alarm before it lost contact. The reason they were able to confirm that their fleet had been annihilated was because the human warships had arrived above the planet!

The T'au fleets were sent to intercept and destroy the human fleets, but now the human fleets are slaughtering T'au colony ships and transport ships in orbit with their powerful weapon arrays.

As long as they looked up into space, they could see countless lights emerging from the sky.

There were beams of light spears, and there were also flames of explosions when colony ships were destroyed. This was a massacre without suspense, and the colony ships lacked powerful firepower and had no ability to fight back. Although the few Orca-class destroyers that were left behind fought hard, they were also the first ships to be destroyed.

It couldn't even be called a battle, just a desperate massacre.

If the ground troops do not evacuate now, they will never have the chance to leave this planet!

So the Fire Warrior commander ordered a retreat without hesitation, and the Fire Warriors abandoned their alien allies.

Because they must escape from this planet before the colonial fleet is completely destroyed.

-----------------

Leon was checking the battlefield, or rather cleaning it.

When Zaku descended to the ground, the war became a crushing defeat.

The hastily evacuated Tau people did not put up any decent resistance at all, and a large number of XV8 wreckage fell on the battlefield. In addition, there were more fire warriors and the bodies of their alien allies.

The most numerous of them were the corpses of Guvisa.

"Leon..."

Leon heard someone calling his name.

Leon looked towards the corner of the battlefield ruins. A man was lying on the wall of the ruins, looking at him weakly, his eyes full of pleading:

"help me."

Lyon recognized him, it was Mitchell.

This is not surprising since they are from the same hometown.
