Chapter 323 Titanium Rises, Titanium Deficits Again
Another planet has fallen.

The local imperial army offered little resistance and withdrew.

As per usual practice, the Tau Empire fleet dispatched a Water Clan diplomat to the surface.

Try to persuade the imperial administrators with words to join the path of supreme good.

In the past, this work was very difficult.

The fanatical believers would never allow the God-Emperor's land to be invaded by aliens.

Therefore, in many cases, it is necessary to deploy fire warriors to defeat the remaining resistance forces in order to achieve dominance.

However, this time, the imperial bureaucrats on the fallen planet were very cooperative.

Why are you so compliant?

Plutonium-Il-K looked at the planetary governor before him and began to question him.
In the past, they would always waste a lot of time, or even resort to force, to try and persuade these guys.

But now, it's so simple.

They proposed that the Tau Empire should rule the planet, and the human nobles immediately agreed.

Think about what this means.

This puzzled Plutonium Il-K.

"Isn't this what you wanted?" the planetary governor said calmly.
"You always fantasize about acquiring more planets and getting more living beings to believe in the so-called supreme good path."

"Now that you have it, you are full of doubt and can't believe it."

“But your behavior is too strange.” Plutonium Il-K’s tone was somewhat uneasy. “This is not normal behavior. You should resist as you used to.”

"Then we will suppress the resistance again, and repeat this several times until you submit."

Upon hearing this, the planet's governor almost laughed.

"You Titans are really funny. If you want to rebel, we can try to organize ourselves and put on a show for you."

Plutonium Il-K: "…………"

What do you mean by "performance"?
Is this how perfunctory it is?

What about your loyalty to the God-Emperor?
Where is your spirit of not yielding an inch of land?
“You weren’t like this before,” Plutonium Il-K said wistfully. “You really don’t look like this at all now.”

"Because what we did did not help the final outcome in any way," the planetary governor said calmly.

"The final battle has begun, and the fate of the material and the immaterial worlds is about to be decided."

“What do you mean?” Plutonium Il-K asked. “What is the final battle?”

“You’ll understand later,” the planetary governor said.

"In any case, you now have control over this planet."

"As long as you don't do anything too outrageous, we will obey your orders."

“Alright, then as the representative of the Tau Empire, I hereby declare this entire planet officially part of the Tau Empire’s territory.” Plutonium Il-K completed the conquest process.

After confirming that the planetary governor would not rebel, he led his team back to the warship in orbit.
Tell Commanders like Shadow Sun everything that happened on the surface.

"What exactly are these humans up to?"

"The fighting is over, and the fervor has subsided, which makes me feel very unfamiliar with it."

"........."

Many high-ranking members of the Tau Empire were unsettled by the sudden shift in humanity's attitude.

In the past, when they invaded planets that belonged to humans, they would always hear the humans cursing them as alien invaders, xenophobic beings, and calling the auxiliary forces traitors.

Then he fought back desperately, jumped in front of them, and was suppressed by the Fire Clan warriors. Finally, he realized he was wrong and joined the Tau Empire.

The fact that the other party was lying flat made them feel very uncomfortable.

At least put up some resistance, instead of just sitting there like a dead fish.

"The human empire is waging a great war that we are unaware of."

"This great war forced them to mobilize all the Imperial forces and resources, to the point that many insignificant worlds were abandoned."

Commander Shadowsun made a judgment.

It is speculated that, like in previous instances, the Human Empire will choose to ignore the Tau Empire because of other battlefields.

"It seems that it is indeed the protection of the Supreme Good Path. We can take this opportunity to expand on a large scale. When the Human Empire finishes its current business and rushes towards the Tau Empire, they will definitely be surprised."

"We have achieved an unprecedented victory, and the human empire is crumbling. Whatever they are doing, this war is in our favor."

Ankle Shi looked at the data projection in front of him, his face showing excitement, and he encouraged the many commanders.

As an ethereal being, his greatest role was to boost the morale of the expeditionary force.

Combat is secondary.

"Since the rulers of this planet are willing to submit, let the Tu scientists carry out the transformation."

Yingyang made a plan,

"We will continue our voyage, bypassing the core strategic planets of the Empire. Those worlds have amassed a large military force, and a forced attack would result in heavy losses and slow down our progress."

"We will first conquer those insignificant planets, turn them into our resources, then use war to fuel our war, constantly grow stronger, and finally completely defeat the human empire."

"........."

Yingyang has a great influence.

His strategy was successfully implemented.

The expeditionary fleet avoided military planets, continuously encroaching on those with abundant resources, and then establishing production systems, allowing the Tau Empire's power to grow rapidly like a snowball.

Good news kept pouring back to each of the worlds, invigorating the entire Tau Empire.
Countless Tau people and auxiliary races were cheering and celebrating.

The gloom of the past was swept away, and everyone was happy for the victory achieved by the expeditionary force.

Especially those auxiliary forces who joined the Tau Empire,

The series of victories further convinced them that joining the Empire was a wise choice.

The human empire is finished, and those foolish fanatics will pay the ultimate price for it.

Just as Shadow Sun and Anthropoid, along with other high-ranking officials of the Tau Empire, were ambitious and planning to accelerate their expansion and push the Tau Empire's power to an unprecedented level.

The visionary who betrayed the Tau Empire and exiled himself appeared before them with a fleet.

The emergence of visionary ideas greatly surprised them.

In the early stages of the Tau Empire's expansion into the star system, most of its military victories can be attributed to a commander named [Qingxi].
Qingxi was a legendary genius whose works on strategy and tactics had a profound impact on the Tau Empire.

Yuanjian was Qingxi's most prized disciple.
After completing his studies, he was appointed as the fleet commander.
On their very first mission, they defeated the invading orcs with astonishing skill and wisdom.

He went on to win many more victories, cementing his reputation as a genius.

After the death of the elderly Qingxi, Yuanjian became the most trusted Fire Clan commander of the Tau Empire.

And foresight lived up to expectations, continuously winning victories.
However, his strong sense of independence led him to repeatedly disobey the teachings and commands of the Ethers, which resulted in a poor relationship between him and the Ethers.

During an orc war, foresight led to the betrayal of the Tau Empire.

They established a visionary enclave and refused to communicate with the Tau Empire.

Yingyang and Anshi, along with other high-ranking members of the Titanium Empire, had tried to find the reason for Yuanjian's betrayal, but unfortunately, they were unable to find it.

Now, however, foresight has suddenly appeared before them.

"Are you finally coming back?"

After the two parties established contact, Yingyang's tone was excited.

Yingyang and Yuanjian are fellow disciples.
When Yingyang learned of Yuanjian's betrayal, he was extremely shocked and even doubted that the news was true.

It wasn't until multiple sources confirmed it that I dared to believe that Vision had truly betrayed us.

Regardless, Yingyang welcomes Yuanjian back and will try his best to plead for him.

Today, the rapidly expanding titanium empire also desperately needs visionary geniuses with strategic thinking.

"No," Yuanjian denied calmly.

“If you’re not here to return to us, then what is your purpose in coming here?” Anselm Shi asked.

“I warn you,” Foresight said, “that I will prevent you from heading toward self-destruction.”

“The Tau Empire is at its most powerful in history. We are rising rapidly, and our territory is expanding at breakneck speed,” Shadow Sun said. “I see no sign of any crisis.”

“I’ve always had a question I wanted to ask Ether, but I haven’t asked yet.” Foresight didn’t answer directly, but changed the subject, staring intently at Anselm.

“What do you want to ask?” asked Anshi.

"How much do we really know about the threat that ether poses to the non-material world?" Foresight asked.

An Shi's expression changed slightly.
He was unaware of this before, only learning of the existence of the non-material realm from members of the Supreme Council after escaping from Comoros.

Your question goes too far.

Anshi did not want to answer.

The truth about this issue could trigger a crisis of faith, causing the highest path of goodness to face a crisis, or even be completely destroyed.

Without the path of supreme goodness, the Titanium Empire will also fall apart.

Therefore, this question cannot be answered.

“I understand. You know it, but you’re unwilling to tell the public.” Yuanjian sighed softly. “You’re just repeating a practice that has already been proven wrong by humanity.”

"What are you talking about?" Yingyang didn't understand their riddle.

"You don't need to know the truth. The wise choice is to stop your foolish behavior immediately," Foresight said coldly to Shadow Sun. "The Human Empire is waging an unprecedented war to determine the ultimate dominance of the non-material and material realms."

"Many powerful races participated in this war led by the human empire. The green-skinned orcs, the Eldar, and the metal necromancers you have seen all fought alongside humans against the non-material world."

"The war you launched at this time is undoubtedly a stab in the back. Once the war ends, the entire Tau Empire will be purged."

"If it was a war that could decide the fate of the entire galaxy, then why weren't we invited?" Yingyang questioned.

"Because we are insignificant." Foresight retorted bluntly, stating a cruel truth: "The Tau Empire is too weak to participate in a war of that magnitude."

“Insignificant?” Yingyang found it hard to accept such a statement. “Our supreme path of goodness is enough to illuminate the entire Milky Way.”

“That’s just a lie. Science and reason aren’t everything in this world.” Foresight said sternly, “You’ve already met the God who was born in the non-material realm.”

"The threat posed by the non-material world surpasses everything else. We used to be puzzled as to why the human empire had become like this, questioning how such a backward and ignorant race could rule the galaxy."

"However, our fate will definitely not be better than theirs, and may even be more tragic. As long as the race of the Titans reaches a certain size, they will become prey for those indescribable things in the non-material realm."

"Humans once had more advanced intelligent technology and civilization than we do. At their peak, they could transform the planet's environment in just two or three days."

"And now, all we see is a group of desperate people using the legacy of their ancestors to fight against inevitable destruction."

“We won’t stop,” Anselm said calmly. “Whether what you’re saying is true or not, this is our best chance.”

"This is the beginning of the Tau Empire's destruction," Foresight retorted without hesitation. "You have all witnessed the power of the human empires; they are just busy with another war."

"Your actions are suicidal. Once that war is over, we will certainly be held accountable."

They came all this way with foresight, trying their best to persuade the Tau Empire to stop the war.

However, no one was willing to listen to him.

Shadow Sun and Anthropoid Shi continue to lead the Titan Empire fleet in executing the Sky Expansion Plan.

However, their joy did not last long before a crisis struck.

They encountered a fleet of Chaos Warbands possessing the Ominous Ark.

To counter the human empire, Vashtor strengthened all the Ominous Arks.

In the end, they still failed to gain any advantage over the human empire.

This caused many members of the Chaos War Clan to question the meaning of life.
The fight was so desperate.

No matter how hard they tried, the Empire kept them pinned down.

Even the blessings of the gods were of no use; the empire still relied on its various technologies and ancient artifacts to suppress them.

Now, the entire Moro battlefield is in a frenzy of fighting.

Those who are slightly weaker will just become cannon fodder.

The empire's various legends and heroes are returning.

Even Taviz and Loken, those guys who were totally dead, are back.

The various war gangs were beaten like cowards, completely serving as foils for the Great Demon and the Imperial Heroes.

It is easy to imagine how brutal the Moro battlefield was; it was essentially another eternal war.

The four incarnations of the gods have all appeared, all to win the Moro War and stop humanity from continuing to build the Aether Engine.

However, when these warbands faced the Tau Empire, their confidence, which had been shattered by the human empire, returned.

"If I can't beat the Human Empire, can't I beat these little blue-skinned creatures?" a Chaos Lord shouted excitedly.

The Tau Empire's warships were also highly advanced, but they were completely helpless against the unreasonable warp fleet.

An overwhelming army of demons, and terrifying warships that defy all reason.

The pilots even saw the warship's dashboard come to life, with cables attacking them as if they were alive.

As expected, the Tau Empire fleet couldn't even withstand the first wave of attacks from the Ominous Ark, and was blown up into fireballs in the void.

In the end, it was foresight that led the fleet to ambush them from the middle of the battlefield, covering their retreat.
However, the losses were still significant; two-thirds of the warships were destroyed.

The auxiliary troops went berserk, causing injuries and even deaths to many warship personnel.
