Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

First of all, a marginal world without a name is meaningless, so you must choose the important home world.

Excluding the Tau homeworld, the Tau Empire has a total of 14 home worlds, among which the Dal Is home world was the main battlefield of the previous Damocles Expedition.

Considering that the main fleet of the Tau Empire is now almost all gathered in Dar Is, this world is obviously not a good choice.

Finally, after some thought, Noah scanned the star map and finally selected a target.

Boke' home world.

Noah pressed the communication beads and instructed:

"White, please ask Petty Officer Titus to come to the bridge."

As support for the scientific expedition fleet, each scientific expedition fleet has 1-3 fully-staffed Space Marine tactical teams, composed of Ultramarines and Space Marines from other chapters, and the one assigned to the Stars is Titus - he was specifically requested by Noah.

Not for anything else, just because he is so fierce!

As a real tough guy, Titus once fought against the Genestealer leader with Noah Justice at the Heroku Starport and successfully killed him alone. Although he was seriously injured, he miraculously recovered in a very short time and participated in the Battle of Macragge.

On the battlefield of the Cold Steel Mountains, a digging python dug through the ground on the left wing of the defense line. A large number of insects poured out from the underground passage and launched a surprise attack on the position. There was even a group of executioners who planned to take the opportunity to tear apart the poison blade-type super heavy tank "Glory of Hera" which was the core of the position's defense.

then.

There's no after that.

This group of huge Tyranid executioners, which could be called living battering rams, were crushed to pieces by Titus and his men - crushed in the physical sense!

In terms of combat performance, few Ultramarines can surpass him.

"Won't you take a break?"

The girl's gentle and ethereal voice made Noah look up, and Cassia looked down at him with concern. Silver hair hung down from both sides of the girl's cheeks, covering her pale face. The girl always felt a little inferior about her organs that were obviously different from those of ordinary people.

"No, business is more important."

Noah held the girl's slender hand that was touching his cheek, and reluctantly left the girl's plump thighs.

YYSY, it’s really comfortable to rest your head on the beautiful girl’s thighs.

Noah took Cassia's hand and left the bridge, taking the elevator to the bridge. Titus was already waiting for him here, with obvious questions in his eyes.

Noah also got straight to the point:

"Titus, my navigator has discovered a warp channel leading to the heart of the Tau Empire."

"Eh?"

Cassia blinked. How could she not know that she had discovered some subspace channel? Wasn't she just providing Noah with lap pillow service?

“Is it stable?” Titus asked.

He looked at Cassia, his expression serious.

Although her mind was still confused, Cassia still answered the Space Marine's question carefully:

“It’s a bit turbulent, but it’s worth taking the risk.”

Since Noah said there was, then there must be, she believed Noah!

Titus did not suspect anything, but was amazed at Cassia's excellence as a navigator and Noah's rich network of contacts as a wandering trader.

Just like the different levels of psykers, the abilities of navigators also vary. A decent navigator can see the light of the Astronomican and accurately navigate along the long-surveyed subspace channels.

Excellent navigators can even accurately perceive relatively safe routes from the chaotic subspace.

As for the navigator of garbage, such navigator does not exist.

Because if their level as a navigator is too low, they will be dealt with by their navigator clan before they grow up to be able to serve the empire, so as to prevent them from destroying the reputation accumulated by the navigator clan over tens of thousands of years.

But excellent people are always a minority.

Even among the Ultramarines, there are very few navigators who can easily perceive the warp channels in the warp by themselves. And such people usually serve the Macragge's Glory.

Noah asked cautiously:

"Sergeant Titus, do you think we should make continuous short-distance warp jumps as originally planned, or should we take the risk and try this warp route?"

Titus thought for a moment and slowly gave his answer:

"I respect your choice, Sir Noah. But if it were me, I would choose a more risky option, which can save us a lot of time! Moreover, this route may not be more dangerous than a short-distance subspace jump!"

Noah changed the subject:

"I think it's worth the risk, too!"

See? It wasn't him who changed the plan on his own. It was Titus who asked him to leave!

"We are about to arrive at Mandeville Point!" Nono said at the right time.

Noah looked at the silver-haired girl beside him and said softly:

"Cassia, I'll take you to the Navigator's Sanctuary."

"Ah."

Cassia's pretty face turned slightly red, and she felt very happy.

Titus turned around expressionlessly, he had to go back to guard the Genestealer and had no time to waste here.

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

The world of Bok Anjiamen was once the home planet of the Pictons, and it was also the first true alien ally of the Tau. But after the Tau came, the Pictons had been thriving on the planet for many years without any harm, but were inexplicably wiped out in a sudden plague, and the Tau also "happened" to be completely immune to the disease, and remained safe from beginning to end.

Indian: Yeah, why is Fatty? That's weird!

Chapter 59: Teach the Young Tau a Lesson

Bok-An Galaxy, Mandeville Point.

With a burst of brilliant color, the Stars leapt from the tear in the veil of reality and headed for the galaxy, propelled by its plasma engines.

"Captain, the auspicious instrument has detected the signal of an enemy ship!"

White issued a warning shortly after the Stars returned to the real universe.

Noah stared at the tactical panel, which showed three red dots.

These are apparently patrol or defense fleets for the current system, but not necessarily the only ones.

Noah commanded:

"Engine full speed, take us to their flank!"

The basic science of the Tau Empire is very advanced. The Auspicious Instruments of the Constellations can detect them. Even if they haven't discovered the Constellations now, they will definitely be able to discover them soon. In this case, why not take advantage of this period of time to directly attach them!

The technology of the Tau people is not bad. Their gravity shields are as effective as the Empire's void shields, and their long-range firepower is even stronger than the light spears commonly equipped by the Empire. But unfortunately, the Tau Empire's warships are seriously lacking in broadside firepower, and the Moon-class cruiser happens to have almost only broadside firepower!

Playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses, close-range hand-to-hand combat is undoubtedly the wisest choice at this stage.

The Tau fleet obviously did not expect to encounter the enemy in the rear. Although the Tau Empire had been at war with the human expeditionary force for more than three years, there were only a few real naval battles. These patrol fleets in the heart of the Tau Empire had never encountered a human fleet, and at most they only had video footage brought back by messenger ships from the front line.

But this was enough to make them alert, and when the Stars approached the Tau fleet, the Tau had already opened fire.

When it comes to long-range strikes, the Tau have excellent firepower.

Whether it is the super-heavy ion cannon or a large number of guided missiles, they can help them not lose in the long-range bombardment of warships. The former is comparable to the Empire's light spear weapons in all aspects, while the latter is only as powerful as the standard plasma torpedoes used by the human empire, but its accuracy is better.

Although the human empire also has guided torpedoes, compared with the Tau guided missiles that are directly equipped with drone artificial intelligence and can aim autonomously, most guided torpedoes must rely on ship-borne remote control, and the communication signals that control the torpedoes can be interfered with or even captured.

Although the Human Empire also has actively guided torpedoes, their number is too small to be widely equipped.

Of course, this is also due to the different positioning of torpedoes by both sides.

The torpedoes of the human empire can ignore the void shield at a lower speed and directly attack the hull. However, the premise of achieving "lower speed" is that the torpedoes slow down by igniting the recoil thrusters before approaching the enemy. Otherwise, if they hit the enemy directly, the consequence will be that they will be transferred to the subspace by the void shield.

In other words, you can't expect every torpedo to hit the enemy ship at the critical point of "lower speed" - if the speed is too fast, it will be intercepted by the void shield, and if the speed is too slow, it will not be able to hit the target. So if you want to use torpedoes to ignore the void shield and destroy the enemy ship, it is actually a technical job.

Therefore, most of the time, the role of standard torpedoes that lack precision guidance is usually to block a certain area.

The naval fleet will launch a large number of torpedoes, using their continuous threat throughout the field to prevent the enemy from maneuvering to a specific position, thereby quickly closing the distance between the two sides, and then bombarding him with broadside macro artillery!

This tactic is often referred to in the navy as torpedo herding.

In this case, whether the torpedo can be actively guided is not so important, because there is no expectation of hitting the target anyway.

The Tau are just the opposite. The purpose of guided missiles is to hit the enemy and consume the enemy's shields. Therefore, these guided missiles that maintain high speeds naturally ignore the protection of the void shield.

So, the Stars' response to the Tau attack was no response.

The Nova Cannon on the bow could have easily destroyed the Tau warship, but the Nova Cannon never fired from beginning to end.

But relying on the powerful void shield, the Stars took all the damage. Whether it was the railgun, ion cannon, or guided missiles, they could only spark a burst of sparks on the void shield, and could not even slow down this huge space battleship.

By the time the Tau realized something was wrong and wanted to turn the ship around to gain distance, it was too late.

Because the Stars had already rushed to their flank.

"Aim the macro artillery array and fire!"

The moment the order was given, the macro-cannon array of the Stars suddenly opened fire!

The Tau have a total of three warships. Judging from their size and appearance, they should be an Explorer-class starship and two Merchant-class cruisers.

As expected, the macro cannon bombardment of the Stars successfully overloaded the gravity shield of a merchant cruiser. The light spears that had been prepared for a long time also hit the target in the first time, and the turret and engine were undoubtedly the first targets of the attack.

When the weapon array was ignited and vaporized by the light spears, and when the engine stopped in the violent explosion, the Tau people's communication channel was filled with cries for help and screams of panic.

Although the remaining two Tau starships were still trying to fight back, their railguns had no effect on the void shield. The void shield was flashing, but there was no sign of being broken.

It was not until the shield of another starship was paralyzed and the hull was pierced by the light spear that the Tau people finally realized in despair that the void shield of the human fleet was much thicker than they had imagined!

Soon, the sole surviving Explorer-class starship began to evacuate the system, and the Tau commanders no longer tried to save their paralyzed comrades. Whether to escape or to warn, they must return to the world of Berk Anjiamen!

Unfortunately, the attempt to escape was in vain.

When the Stars adjusted the angle and aimed the macro cannon at the Explorer-class starship again, its gravity shield was quickly paralyzed, and the weapon array and propulsion engine were targeted and cleared by the light spear array.

Without energy supply, the ship's only remaining point-defense artillery was also paralyzed.

The Tau warship is now like a stripped little white rabbit, seducing others to have sex with her.

On the Stars, the Space Marines who had been waiting in the hangar for a long time were getting ready in the Thunderhawk gunship.

Foreplay is over, ready for doggy style!

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

"Gravity shield failed!"

"The railgun weapon array is completely destroyed!"

"The ship's hull has been damaged in many places and needs to be repaired urgently!"

The bridge was filled with shrill alarms, and the officers were panicking as they reported the damage to the ship, with fear lingering in their hearts.

With a loud explosion, everyone in the bridge trembled violently.

An Air Clan officer looked up from his tactical panel, his voice trembling uncontrollably:

"Sir, our engine has been disabled by the enemy ship..."

Kor'o'Somme stood up from his command chair, his face extremely grim.

During Som's long service career, he had led the fleet to fight against the invasion of orcs many times. But even in the most dangerous time, they had never experienced such a disastrous defeat!

The three battleships were all paralyzed, but the enemy ships were completely unscathed.

Was there something wrong with his command?

No, there was nothing wrong with his command!

It was clearly him who opened fire first, and it was clear that their firepower accurately hit the target without exception!

This should have been a huge advantage!

The results of it?
