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

Chapter 230 White Scar: Titanium is Stronger
The increasingly strong sense of crisis prompted the Tau people to transform from a decentralized tribal primitive society to a more cohesive social form. They realized the necessity of unity.

With the Fire Caste as the core, the Tau people of the Air Caste, Earth Caste and Water Caste formed a temporary cooperative relationship to fight against the legendary enemy from outside the sky.

Sparks of innovation are constantly bursting out. The craftsmen and technicians of the Earth Clan have been inspired by the rumors. They forge and temper the existing open-pit ores and use bronze and pig iron to create new equipment.

Hard spears made of bronze replaced wooden spears, and armor forged from cast iron covered the protective clothing made of beast leather and reeds. Kulan Shawa received equipment tailored for him by the craftsmen of the Tu clan. At this moment, he felt that he could easily defeat his past self.

He was able to lift a spear made of pure bronze, a feat worthy of boasting for a Tau, whose muscles and bones were too weak to support a weapon so heavy.

"We already have an invincible army, Lord Kuran, please lead us to take the initiative and defeat those demons that fell from the sky."

The Fire Clan warriors, who had updated their equipment, were full of enthusiasm. They were eager to try out the power of the weapons forged by the Earth Clan.

Presumably, under such a sharp divine weapon, those demons who only dare to control iron birds and use long-range metal bullets to kill the brave Titanium warriors will also be killed.

"Calm down, everyone. We are in the open while the enemy is in the dark. These shameless demons only attack weak tribes that have no power to resist. This proves that their power is not as strong as we think."

Kuran suppressed his men's desire for battle and instead presented his own analysis and strategy.

"We should wait and see, set traps for them, and concentrate our strengths to siege the demons. This is the safest and most efficient way. The precious Fire Caste warriors should drink the blood of the enemies, eat the flesh of the demons alive, and prove the strength of the Tau warriors in a glorious battle."

As Kulan spoke, the Fire Clan warriors calmed down one after another, but there was a more vigorous fire burning in their eyes. They had to learn to endure first.

"Very good, very spirited." Kuran praised his warriors. These disciplined Fire Clan warriors were the strongest force on this land, and no one could stop them.

Even those demons.

"Are the baits ready? Those Tau who are willing to sacrifice themselves and become prey to the demons."

Kuran asked his deputy, and the other nodded, indicating that everything was ready.

The Tau people who acted as bait came from various clans, most of whom were very old, as well as some female Tau people who were willing to sacrifice.

They had learned that the demons had the habit of hunting and capturing the Tau people. After the brutal killings at the beginning, they seemed to have changed their behavior and were more inclined to leave their prey alive.

Kulan didn't know why those demons did this. Perhaps they wanted to humiliate the brave Tau people? Unfortunately, they would not succeed. The Tau people would never surrender.

And Kuran Shawa's plan is indeed being realized step by step, because the Titanium aliens are shrinking their sphere of influence.

They began to transfer their people to the intricate underground caves, and the Space Marines who received the kill order found that their targets were decreasing.

The difficulty of hunting is increasing. They are no longer as ignorant as they were in the beginning. They can only yell at the marauding White Scars or hold some primitive religious worship ceremonies.

"It seems that these aliens are smarter than we thought. They have learned to hide themselves, just like the herds of beasts on the Chogoris grassland that form a formation to block the predatory beasts."

The Guntura Captain of the White Scars, or Guntura Nayan Khan as they are customarily called, spoke to his hunting party.

His tone changed from being casual and lazy as before, and turned into an excited and inspiring voice.

The transformation of the Tau people delighted Guntura. They were already tired of this task. Slaughtering a race that posed no threat at all could not even make their blood boil.

The White Scars dislike pointless slaughter, preferring worthy opponents.

In the White Scars Legion, there is often a manual that records difficult enemies. Whenever they encounter an enemy that they cannot deal with immediately, they will record it in the manual and send the most elite hunters in the entire legion to hunt it down.

During the hunt, the White Scars can call on the resources of the entire legion, whether it is manpower or various vehicles. They will hunt from one star region to the edge of the galaxy until they kill the enemy.

The target of the hunt would be beheaded and brought back to the Legion Monastery on the home planet Chogoris, where the Legion priests would peel off the skin and flesh from the prey's head, burn off the eyes, cover it with a silver mask, and finally impale the head on a spear.

Mount Quincata in Chogoria is dotted with spectacular paths lined with silver skulls, symbolizing the foes slain and the glory won by the White Scars.

"Move out." Gangtula didn't say much. For the son of Chagatai Khan, words were not as effective as actions.

The hunting team led by Na Yanhan himself entered their respective Tengu vehicles. After a dazzling transformation, the Tengu fighters let out a terrifying scream and began cruising mode, dragging a circle of visible sonic boom clouds and engine airflow.

The Tengu's auspicious instruments scanned the landing ground for any signs of life, while its onboard Thinker computer processed those targets that clearly did not meet the requirements and fed the information back to the pilot's helmet display.

In addition, these transforming mechas operating in the planet's atmosphere also maintained communications with the cruisers in space.

The battleship-class scanning array provides them with more detailed intelligence support. It can be said that there are no secrets on the entire planet in front of them.

The Fire Caste warriors of the Tau tribe would never have thought that their every move had actually been seen by the cruisers above the sky.

A big part of the reason why they allowed the Titanium's little tricks to happen was to allow these Titanium aliens scattered all over the planet to gather together and catch them all in one fell swoop more conveniently.

And now, Guntura led his White Scar warriors straight towards the trap set by Kulan.

When the roar of the Sky Dog tore through the blood clouds in the sky, all the Tau warriors realized that the demon in their eyes had arrived.

They were too conspicuous, and even if they were not seen, the sound of the explosion tearing through the atmosphere was enough to make any Tau realize that danger was approaching.

Commander Kuran's keen long-range vision had already discovered those so-called "iron birds". He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Everything was real.

Those cowardly Qi clan members did not lie. The demons were indeed riding the terrible iron birds and coming at an incredible speed.

He suppressed his rapid heartbeat and hid in the bush shelter that had been prepared long ago.

Without verbal communication, fire warriors learned to use gestures to convey information, which can effectively prevent the prey from being alarmed by sound.

Kuran felt that he knew how to do this naturally, and when he wanted to do it, he learned to do it instinctively.

"This must be the guidance of the Supreme Father God. We will definitely win this battle!"

The Tengu mechas in the sky discovered the old and weak Titanium people who were deliberately exposed. These aliens with heroic faces were waiting for the arrival of the devil.

They did not speak, because they knew that the brave Fire Caste warriors would avenge them, and they would also contribute their own strength to the continuation of the clan.

For the Tau!

Tengu transformed again into a bipedal mecha form and landed on the ground. Guntula took the lead in opening the cabin, jumped down and landed on the land of Titanium.

The weak gravity made the White Scars feel exceptionally light in their movements, and they were able to react much faster than in a standard gravity environment.

Gantula, wearing a milky white power armor, and his personal guards stepped into the trap. With a terrifying roar, hundreds of Tau fire warriors who had completed equipment upgrades emerged from the surrounding high ground.

Kuran took the lead, wielding his bronze spear and throwing it out with the most firm conviction of his life.

He aimed at the tallest of the metal giants, and the metal spear drew an arc and pierced the visor of Guntura Nayan Khan's helmet in a graceful manner.

The Fire Warrior's judgment was correct. The goggles of the Star-type power armor were indeed a weak point and the place most likely to be breached, but that was relative to the Space Marines.

The bronze spear made a crisp "ding" sound, and not only did it fail to pierce the goggles, but it broke into two pieces due to the violent collision.

Gantula reached out and grabbed the broken bronze spear, realizing that the aliens had made further progress.

Although these bronzes are too brittle due to excessive impurities, they are still bronze artifacts, not weapons made of wood and stone.

The White Scar leader exerted force with both hands and twisted the broken bronze spear together. The spiral bronze spear bounced back at a faster speed and nailed the adjutant beside Kulan to the ground from head to toe.
