Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 229: The Titans Prepare for War
In a desert area in the northern hemisphere of Titanium, the clouds floating in the sky were dyed blood red.

There is no trace of life on the plateau where yellow sand is flying. Even the herbivorous beasts have disappeared completely. The lonely thorny plants are shaking constantly in the strong wind.

Any beast with a little bit of intelligence knows how to seek good fortune and avoid danger. Before the seven days and nights changed, all the native life forms living here experienced what great disaster was.

Those metal giants that descended from outside the starry sky rode giant metal birds that made loud noises and spewed out long tails in the sky.

They can unleash a deadly hail of metal from just out of sight, and their all-consuming fire will consume all life.

These mythical rumors are being spread within the Tau in the most primitive way. At first, the Tau people from different tribes did not believe these nonsense. The Tau people are the children of God, so how could the great Father God punish them?

The Tau, who are still in their primitive state, have already developed the rudiments of religious beliefs. In their simple ideas, the Tau are the most beloved children of the Father God. They are fundamentally different from those unintelligent beasts.

Everything on their earth, including land, water, animals and plants, is a gift from the Supreme Father, and the Tau people have the natural right to enjoy it all.

But the rumors are spreading at an even more terrifying rate, and more and more Tau people are disappearing as tribes.

Kuran Shawwa felt the crisis.

As a Fire Clan warrior occupying the largest plains area, he has always believed in his intuition and instinct. The Tau people are the most powerful existence on this land. Even those ferocious Steppe Wolves are no match for the united Fire Clan warriors.

Therefore, there must be a being beyond their knowledge that is hunting the proud Tau people.

Kuran tried to analyze some useful information from the rumors, just as they judged the direction of a herd of animals by observing the traces of their prey's feces.

The Tau who brought the news claimed that the enemies descended from the sky, riding giant metal birds, hunting and capturing the unsuspecting Tau with impunity.

Kuran thought of the Tau people who lived on the towering isolated mountains. Those distant cousins ​​had a completely different body structure from the Tau people in other places. They had very thin membranous wings between their limbs, which allowed them to glide on the rising thermal air currents blowing from the mountains.

As the strongest Fire Clan warrior, Kuran was extremely disdainful of his skinny and timid Air Clan cousins. He believed that they were only fit to act as messengers and scouts, delivering intelligence information, while the truly brutal war still depended on the Fire Clan.

"This news was brought by the guys from the Air Clan. They were frightened out of their wits. They said that the demons from the stars destroyed their tribe in the Orne Mountains, and they relied on their flying abilities to flee in all directions."

A member of the hunting team next to him said, and Kuran frowned. He needed more accurate information, not these rumors whose credibility was unknown.

The most important thing to win a war is information. The more information you have, the greater the advantage you will have in battle.

This is the truth that Kulan realized during the tribal struggles, so the Fire Clan has the strongest voice among many clans.

"Giant metal bird, we need stronger weapons, and we need the help of the craftsmen of the Earth Clan."

The Earth Clan that Kurlan was referring to were a group of Tau people who lived in the lush river valleys. These cowardly individuals were best at digging in the soil for food and cultivating seeds and tubers. Kurlan despised them the most, as they lacked any fighting spirit.

However, the weapons and tools they made were indeed easy to use. For example, the tip of the spear in Kulan's hand was inlaid with a black spear head taken from the crater. It was so sharp that even the skin of the strongest wild rhinoceros could hardly resist the attack of his spear.

But if the enemy is a giant bird with metal skin, Kuran believes that his weapons are still not strong enough. They have seen the natural metal ores exposed in the wilderness. They are cold, hard and tough, but the Fire Clan warriors cannot turn the ores into weapons.

There seemed to be a tense atmosphere in the air. Kuran felt anxious and irritated for no reason. He forced himself to calm down and poured a bucket of cold underground river water on his head.

A cold feeling attacked him from head to toe, and the Fire Clan warrior clenched his spear tightly, trying to regain a bit of his former confidence.

His combat instincts were warning him that something bad might be happening.

"Tell the people of the Water Clan that they must dispatch the supplies we need within three solar days. Also, the elderly, weak, women and children in the clan must evacuate to the caves dug by the Earth Clan as soon as possible."

"At the same time, tell the people of the Air Clan to step up their patrols and report to me immediately if they find any abnormalities."

The Fire Clan warrior Kulan announced his orders one by one. As the most powerful and best at fighting clan, he naturally obtained the position of leader.

There are hundreds of Fire Clan warriors under his command, a huge force that can sweep away an entire tribe, and as its leader, Kulan must have enough foresight to foresee danger.

The obsidian spear in his hand became sharper after being polished, and it emitted a beautiful glittering luster under the light. Kuran's eyes couldn't help but shrink, and then he tried to throw it out.

He even dared to look directly at the sun with his own eyes. That brilliant sun was the symbol of the Supreme Father God. Kuran believed that his courage was enough to win the favor of the Father God.

"Come on, come on, unknown enemy. I will let you see how powerful the Fire Clan warriors are. We are not like those weak Air Clan and Water Clan warriors. We are not afraid of any threats or challenges."

"We will defeat the demons from the stars, and the great Tau will rise. One day our descendants will embark on an expedition to conquer those stars. We will be the true children of the universe."

Kuran felt his heart pounding. He wanted to express his feelings in words, but his lack of vocabulary and his overworked brain prevented him from uttering a single word for a long time.

"Forget it. Those Water Clan guys are good at saying these nice words. They love to use beautiful but useless words to persuade others. But if there are no Water Clan people to communicate with the various clans, I'm afraid we won't be able to unite to face the crisis."

Even though the Tau people of various clans united together when foreign enemies invaded, there were always frictions and disputes among them in normal times. The proud Fire Clan would use their force to take away everything they wanted.

With war and conquest in their veins, the Fire Caste crave a heroic death and will fight to the death for glory.
