078, Titanium King? The best way, great! (IV)

[In the second week, the airborne corps is still resisting tenaciously.

[With the existence of your trenches and underground passages, each company barely withstood the bombardment of the Tau Empire. ]

[The Tau Empire had to send more Kroots who were good at close combat to continuously attack the trenches and even go deep into the underground passages to fight you. ]

[Now, most of the ground buildings of the Danshui Factory have been reoccupied by a team of combat uniforms. ]

[Your company launched several attacks in succession, trying to seize the position again, but always retreated due to the lack of heavy weapons. ]

[Because the company commander who led the way was seriously injured and dying. ]

[You chose to obey General Sekawa's orders and temporarily took over the command of the entire company. ]

[You ordered the tired soldiers to rotate and rest, and try to save ammunition. ]

[You began to lead some soldiers who were good at close combat to wander between the underground passages, desperately resisting the Kroots' uninterrupted attacks. ]

[In the third week, you wielded your power sword with a numb expression, smashing the enemy's homemade weapons and easily cutting off his head. ]

[A lot of smelly blood splashed on your broken carapace. ]

[Because your helmet was lost in the last battle. ]

[You could only wipe the blood off your face and gasp heavily. ]

[In recent times, the Tau Empire seems to have slowed down its attack on the underground tunnel. ]

[You have been gradually surrounded and divided and have lost contact with other companies. ]

[Now, the company you lead has suffered heavy casualties, with only more than 50 people left. ]

[Although a lot of ammunition has been saved, food supplies have been consumed. ]

[Everyone can only fill their hunger by drinking water. ]

[After panting for a while, you glanced at the alien corpses under your feet and quickly retreated to the rear. ]

[You have just returned to a large excavated tunnel. ]

[A pale-faced soldier came to your side. 】

【"Captain, something is wrong..." the other person whispered in your ear. 】

【"What happened? Did you encounter the Kroot again?" You asked expressionlessly. 】

【"The other teams had a brief communication with some Tau people who could speak the Imperial language... General Sekawa was captured, and the other company soldiers have chosen to surrender!" The soldier's eyes showed hesitation, and he gritted his teeth and said. 】

【You took a deep breath and fell silent. 】

【You thought for a moment and asked the soldier to notify the entire company to assemble. 】

【Soon after, the remaining soldiers gathered in front of you. 】

【You glanced at the familiar faces that were pale because of hunger. 】

【"Where is the white-headed guy?" You didn't find the familiar big-headed woman among the crowd.

【"Report to the captain... the white-headed guy just died." A soldier who lost half of his arm raised the stump, and there seemed to be a crystal light flashing in his eyes. ]

[You sighed and threw down the power sword in your hand. ]

["You knew the current situation earlier than I did..." You were silent for a while and said slowly. ]

["So, I won't stop any of you from surrendering. According to what I know about the Tau people, they also welcome you to join the Greater Good..." ]

["You may gain more than what the Human Empire can give you...far better food than before, far better lifestyle than before..." ]

["You will gradually despise and even hate everything in the Human Empire. However, this may be the price you have to pay for choosing to live." ]

["Now, those who choose to leave, please leave your weapons and ammunition to your comrades around you, and the soldiers who are willing to stay should not be impulsive. That is their personal choice..." ]

[You picked up the power sword thrown aside and walked out of the alley without looking back. ]

[The soldiers who stayed behind looked at each other and maintained a strange silence. ]

[In the end, the number of soldiers who chose to stay reached thirty-five. ]

[You order the remaining soldiers to organize the remaining equipment and prepare for the final moment. ]

[In the fourth week, you lead the malnourished soldiers out of the underground passage. ]

[However, just when you were about to face the enemy's powerful firepower. ]

[A large group of mechanical bees slowly came in front of you. ]

[You scanned the surrounding environment and did not find any Tau enemies. ]

[You raised your hand to stop the soldiers from raising their guns. ]

["Brave warriors from the human empire, put down your weapons. You don't have to fight a battle that will surely lead to your death. Even your general has surrendered to the great Tau Empire..." ]

[Accompanied by a strange tone of the imperial language. ]

[Countless machine bees projected a series of blue light and shadows, quickly forming a tall virtual image. ]

[It seemed to be a luxuriously dressed Tau Ether, who was also the leadership of the Tau Empire. ]

[You stared at the virtual image in front of you expressionlessly. 】

【"As long as you surrender... join us and listen to the teachings of the Greater Good, you will gain the infinite goodwill of the Tau Empire..."】

【"Let our many races coexist peacefully and work together to make more contributions to the future of the entire universe..."】

【The gorgeously dressed Ether waved the scepter in his hand. 】

[It tries to use words to disintegrate your fighting resolve and gain your submission. ]

[However, just when the other party was about to continue. ]

[You slowly raised the power sword and interrupted the other party's performance. ]

["Have you ever met the Necrons? Have you been eaten by the Great Devourer? Do you think those howling green-skinned orcs are hopeless?" You stared at the tall virtual image of Ether, and the tip of the power sword pointed at the other party's head. ]

["... You don't even understand what the nature of the warp is!" ]

[A sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of your mouth, and you said to Ether. ]

["In this cold and dark universe, weakness and ignorance have never been obstacles to survival... Arrogance is." ]

[However, your words seemed to cause great displeasure to Ether. ]

[The tall virtual image disappeared instantly. ]

[The large group of drones that surrounded you did not attack you, but flew quickly to the back. ]

[You showed a disgusted expression to the soldiers who were looking at each other in bewilderment, which caused everyone to laugh softly. ]

[At this moment, on the horizon a few kilometers away. ]

[One after another, the Tau missiles quickly took off, crossed the sky, and fell towards your position. ]

[You stared at the falling missiles and sighed helplessly. ]

[You looked solemn and straightened your back. ]

[You turned around and saluted the soldiers with calm eyes. ]
