The Truth of Faith

Fully covered powered armor, automatic enemy-locking Shoulder Cannon, auxiliary combat systems, drone-assisted operations, the ability to call in global bombing within fifteen minutes, and even orbital strikes.

This is the standard equipment of the reformed Imperium Astra Militarum, integrating air, space, and ground capabilities.

Therefore, when these Astra Militarum appeared on the battlefield,

Colinster and the Auxilia were all shocked and couldn't believe it, feeling like they were dreaming.

This was not the Imperium of Man they knew at all.

These guys should use rudimentary weapons and armor to foolishly charge at them and be easily slaughtered.

Why?

Why?

Why are these guys so well-equipped and their tactics so scientific and advanced?

Compared to the landing Astra Militarum, the armor and weapons provided by the T'au Empire seemed so crude.

"No!!" Colinster shouted, "It's all fake, it must all be fake."

He couldn't accept it.

The appearance of these Astra Militarum completely shattered the sense of superiority he had painstakingly built up.

Why can't the Imperium of Man maintain its appearance as a rotting corpse, so that he can tell himself how right it was to join the T'au Empire?

Now, the Imperium of Man has shown a more scientific and rational side than the T'au Empire, making him feel like a Joker.

Collinster kept firing, trying to vent his resentment through killing.

However, the pulse beam he fired was blocked by the emerging shield, and he couldn't even touch the opponent's armor.

This made Colinster even more resentful of the Imperium. He kept cursing, hoping that the Corpse Emperor would die suddenly, and that the Imperium of Man would disintegrate and be completely devoured by the Chaos Gods.

Those who worship the Corpse Emperor should suffer forever, and then be replaced by the advanced and scientific T'au Empire.

They couldn't possibly have such advanced technology.

Unfortunately, Colinster's curse and doubts were meaningless.

If a few curses from him could cause the Emperor's sudden death, the Chaos Gods would probably all beg him to ascend to godhood and become another being on equal footing with them.

Initially, Colinster's side had a firepower advantage, given their large numbers and the assistance of gunboats and Fire Warriors in combat suits.

However, as time went on, more and more Imperium troops landed.

Hundreds of mechs were deployed to the ground, dealing a devastating blow to the T'au Empire.

These mechs are different from the knights and Titan of the Imperium's past; they are lighter, faster, and can fly close to the ground like the XV8 Crisis Battlesuit.

The deployment of the mechs completely neutralized the T'au Empire's firepower advantage.

Intense artillery fire rained down on the defensive line where Colinster was located, with explosions ringing out incessantly, keeping them from raising their heads and preventing them from rashly revealing their positions.

"Retreat, retreat."

The commander's voice rang out in the communications channel, followed by several shouts, "For the Emperor, for humanity."

This caused Colinster and the other Auxilia to change their expressions drastically.

It is clear that the Imperium of Man has invaded their communication channels.

You should know that they used to be proud of the communicators issued by the T'au Empire, believing that the Imperium of Man could never eavesdrop on their confidential conversations.

Now, the other side can not only eavesdrop but also seize control, which is terrifying.

"Retreat first." Colinster led his heavily wounded squad in retreat.

It should be noted that when they attacked the Hive City of the Algrey World, they did not suffer many casualties, but now, having just come into contact with human reinforcements, they have already suffered heavy losses.

The Imperium of Man's reinforcements are achieving an overwhelming victory.

Everyone could see that the T'au Empire was heading towards failure.

"Retreat to the second line of defense!" Carl Va, a member of the Fire Caste, repeatedly shouted in the communications, urging his compatriots to abandon the breached outer defenses and retreat to the second line of defense.

[Warning: Enemy is approaching]

A warning message about the Observation Drone appeared on Ka'va's panel.

He operated the device, switching to the observation perspective of the Drone Bee. The gradually increasing field of vision gave him a complete view of the entire battlefield.

The T'au Empire's defenses are crumbling; corpses are everywhere.

The wreckage of Hammerhead Gunship and Devilfish Troop Carrier lay in the smoking crater.

The enemy is advancing rapidly, attempting to cut off the retreating T'au Empire forces.

"First squad, go and support area B02 so that the troops there can withdraw smoothly."

"Ninth Squad, abandon the planned retreat route. It has been cut off, and you will fall into a trap."

"..."

Carl Václav continuously issued instructions, methodically directing the various squads to withdraw.

Boom!

A missile, trailing a fiery exhaust, struck, instantly destroying the airborne Drone Bee.

Carl -Wah's screen flickered for a moment, then went black, and he lost all vision.

"Damn humans."

Carl Vah cursed under his breath as he tried to reconnect with other Drone Bee to regain his view of the battlefield, only to hear his comrade shouting danger.

The Fire Caste commander looked up and saw a group of heavily armored Space Marines flying towards them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunshots rang out continuously, and the Fire Caste beside him were constantly being killed by Space Marines descending from the sky.

"Scatter," Carl Vah ordered, instructing the Fire Caste warriors to use cover to avoid enemy fire.

"The blood is sacrificed to the God-Emperor, and the head is sacrificed to the throne."

The Wrist Bro on the ground shouted as his Chainsword roared and tore open the body of a Fire Caste warrior, followed by a second, a third...

"Damn it, I'm your enemy."

Carl Vah roared and charged at Wrist Bro, trying to stop him from slaughtering his own companions.

"In the name of the Greater Good, for all people."

Carl Vah's conviction was unwavering, but the next second, he was hacked to pieces by the Wrist Bro.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, without the slightest delay.

The Wrist Bro didn't even know he had killed a commander; he only saw a number jump up on his kill count and then it was gone.

Carl Václav lay on the charred battlefield, now only his upper body remained; his lower body had flown away to who knows where.

The warning lights on the combat suit kept blaring, a reminder that life was slipping away rapidly.

"The best..."

Before he could finish his last words, the human who killed him shouted again, "For the sake of the Greater Good!"

Carl Vah's eyes widened, first in surprise, then in anger, as he realized that the other party was Greater Good.

He crawled toward the weapons that had fallen to the side, wanting to continue fighting.

We must show the other party through our actions that the Greater Good cannot be humiliated.

But he died before he could even reach the weapon.

From beginning to end, Wrist Bro didn't even glance at the Fire Caste commander, instead immersing himself in the slaughter.

His favorite part of playing Warhammer Online is the mowing-down-enemies mode.

The defenses of the T'au Empire continued to shrink.

How did they so swiftly and decisively destroy the Imperium garrison's defenses in the Algrey World?

Now, these Imperium reinforcements are focused on how to utterly destroy their defenses.

Humans who betrayed the Imperium, vassal races such as the Kroot and Vespids, and the T'au were all brutally slaughtered. Corpses were everywhere, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.

The remaining inhabitants of the T'au Empire fled into a fortress shrouded in shields.

However, the Imperium's offensive was so swift,

They surrounded the fortress, paralyzing its shields with heavy artillery fire, and then used Meltagun to smash the fortress gates into a pile of scorching slag.

Colinster was also there, and he kept firing as the players rushed in, trying to stop them.

But even with such firepower, they couldn't break through the shield.

"Xenos, you all deserve to die!" Wrist Bro shouted, ignoring the ordinary people who were firing their guns, and charged towards the Fire Caste warriors wearing combat suits. " In the Greater Good, I grant you a hopeless death."

His voice was so loud that everyone inside the fortress heard it.

This is undoubtedly a great mockery, killing the Fire Caste warriors in the Greater Good.

The Fire Caste opened fire on the players, including the Wrist Bro.

They wore state-of-the-art combat suits, and for a long time, they relied on these suits to defeat many Space Marines.

However, this time, they failed to replicate their past glory.

The next second, the roaring Chainaxe cleaved through the first Fire Caste warrior, followed by the second, and the third.

With the ease of chopping vegetables, Wrist Bro slaughtered all the Fire Caste warriors within his sight.

Several Kroot tried to stop him.

Compared to the Fire Caste warriors who are not good at close combat, Kruger's close combat ability is quite good, and his physical attributes are also very strong.

But facing a group of Fourth Calamity, they had no chance of winning.

He was quickly chopped down and turned into a pile of rotten flesh.

"No!!" Witnessing this scene, Colinster was utterly desperate and knelt down.

So many Fire Caste warriors couldn't defeat a single Space Marines; there was no point in fighting this battle.

At this moment, a group of ragged rebels stormed into the fortress before the Imperium regulars.

"For the Emperor."

"Kill the traitor."

"Don't let a single one escape."

"..."

They chanted slogans, their eyes filled with hatred.

The T'au Empire and these traitors killed their relatives and comrades, and now they only want revenge.

Only the dead have the right to forgive these people, and what they have to do is send these traitors and Xenos to meet the dead.

But instead of killing the traitors and Xenos immediately, they planned to execute them publicly.

Colinster was thus captured alive.

The Planetary Governor, who had been captured, was also rescued.

He looked much older.

He had been tormented by the T'au all this time.

They had been trying to force him to submit, abandon his loyalty to the Emperor, and swear allegiance to the T'au Empire.

The Planetary Governor remained silent and did not eat, using silence to demonstrate his loyalty to the Emperor.

After the T'au Empire is completely defeated,

As he stepped out of the T'au Empire's indoctrination center and breathed in the fresh air once more, tears welled up in his eyes.

Once the dust settled from the war, the entire army of the T'au Empire was annihilated.

Even those who were lucky enough to survive became prisoners.

The Planetary Governor saw Colinster, and this time, it was his turn to smile.

"Haha, it looks like our situations have reversed."

"I vaguely remember how you looked back then, so full of self-satisfaction, a world of difference from now."

"Lies, everything about the Imperium is a lie," Colinster shouted at the Planetary Governor. "You will only suffer more if you continue to serve that corpse."

"Does following the Greater Good that you speak of mean that one will not suffer?" The Planetary Governor looked at Colinster.

"Living in the T'au Empire is a hundred times, a thousand times better than living in the Imperium. That's irrefutable proof. Your victory in this war means nothing; it's just a pathetic piece of evidence that barbarism has triumphed over civilization."

Upon hearing Colinster's words, the Planetary Governor looked at him with pity.

"Use your brain to think about why every race you know ends up sacrificing everything for war."

"Because they don't have the Greater Good," Colinster said. "If the Greater Good were spread throughout the Milky Way, all races could live in peace."

"Once the Greater Good spreads throughout the Milky Way, the T'au Empire will undoubtedly become a worse entity than the Imperium of Man," the Planetary Governor said calmly.

"The faith in Emperor fills our lives with suffering, but when you see those terrible, invisible things, you will know that Fanaticism faith is the only means by which mankind can fight against them."

"Either be swallowed by the dark hell, or be swallowed by the Emperor; there is no other choice."

"You know nothing about the trials that humanity must endure, yet you stubbornly believe that you possess the truth, and you unite with other races to persecute your own people."

"No matter how bad the Imperium of Man is, at least it is still trying to protect human interests and create opportunities for human survival."

"Do you really think those Blue Skins aliens will accept you? When they realize that you're bringing them evil things, they'll definitely be the first to wipe you out."

"In order to protect the survival of their race, they would even plan to exterminate you."

"You're lying," Colinster shouted.

"Then just consider me lying. At least you'll feel better before you see hell after you die." The Planetary Governor stopped arguing. He had only said those words to retaliate for the humiliation the other party had inflicted on him in the past.

His family left behind many ancient books that recorded the historical changes of Imperium of Man, as well as some dark legends.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to remain steadfast in his loyalty to the Emperor.

Only through His protection can humanity survive in this dark universe.

Even in his dying moments, Colinster cursed the Imperium, the Corpse Emperor, and the Planetary Governor.

It wasn't until he was executed and his soul was dragged into a roaring hell that he realized the Planetary Governor hadn't lied to him.

Souls with devout faith fly to the sun that floats above hell, and join the Emperor they worship.

Those who betrayed the Emperor could only sink into an endless sea of blood.

In the sea of blood, countless terrifying demons tore at his soul and relentlessly pursued him.

He will suffer in the Warp forever.

After reclaiming the Algrey World and turning in the quest,

The Emperor's Cattle Warband did not stop.

Instead, they continued their journey to the next world that needed reinforcements.

They must thwart the T'au Empire's Sky-Vault Expedition and stop them from further encroaching on the Imperium's territory.

In the name of the Emperor, the T'au Empire must pay the price for their aggression.
