(Thanks to Takashima's Han Family's Eldest Miss for the reward bonus chapter, 2/5.)
P.S.: Alright, brothers, hit the brakes.
When I wrote this arc, I originally wanted to play around with artillery and large-scale troop warfare. I installed production lines for cannons and rockets on the ships for exactly that purpose: ten thousand guns firing at once.
This time, Inquisitor Thraxol authorized the protagonist to confront the T'au as the planet's highest ruler.
To a great extent, this confrontation was an ideological one. In short, the protagonist wanted to compete with the T'au at being better in this rotten universe.
But after looking through the comments, I realized things were already starting to head in the wrong direction.
It might be a case of being overly jumpy, but one reader made a good point in the comments. They said the censors didn't care whether your novel had something like the Warp in it or not.
That might be somewhat biased, overly jumpy, and a little too symbolic, but with the warning having reached this point, I felt something was off too. Forget it, I won't write the following plot anymore.
I had originally planned roughly fifty or sixty chapters of ideological clashes and large-scale artillery battles, but for safety's sake, I deleted all of it.
The artillery battles can be moved to the next planet. As for ideology, I won't touch something so dangerous again.
This arc has definitely been cut and altered into a complete mess, but I'll make the most of this wasted arc somehow.
Good grief, the T'au really are too hard to deal with. If you want to fight the T'au in your novel, the damn T'au will summon some giant dimensional hand and slap this world straight into oblivion. The T'au are terrifying.)
