At that moment, the flames from the gun barrels illuminated this planet, which had been tormented by darkness.
Chapter 132 Titanium Lord's Submission
Empire conquest progress 50%
Frontline intelligence personnel sent an encrypted message: The Tau civilization has been detected, and its main habitat has been confirmed.
The Imperial Fleet has officially launched its conquest of the Tau.
The colossal war planet slowly entered the orbit of the Tau homeworld, casting its shadow.
Thousands of large warships, each with a range of hundreds of kilometers, are densely packed in space, forming an encirclement.
The Titan mech stood on the warship's deck, all weapon systems having completed preheating.
The moment the Titan satellite defense network detected the anomaly, alarms blared throughout the entire planet.
Standing in the command center, Carlos, the supreme commander of the Tau race, stared in shock at the holographic projection displaying an astonishingly large human fleet.
"These are human empires?" the adjutant asked, his voice trembling.
Carlos did not respond, his gaze fixed on the massive war-torn planets. The Tau's prized space fleet appeared so insignificant before them.
"Activate all defense systems and notify all troops to enter a state of maximum alert."
The Tau are not weak. They possess advanced weaponry, a well-constructed homeworld defense system, and well-equipped ground forces. Among the many races in the galaxy, the Tau are considered one of the most powerful.
However, even before the war officially began, it showed a one-sided trend.
The human fleet did not use conventional combat methods.
Teleportation technology allowed their assault forces to appear directly behind the Tau defenses. The Empire's sensing technology rendered the Tau's meticulously constructed defenses ineffective.
After the first wave of attack, all of the Tau's defensive positions fell.
Carlos stood in the war command center, where red alerts flashed one after another on the holographic screen.
"90% of the Third Fleet's warships are damaged!"
"The southern defense line has been breached!"
"The western weapons base has been attacked and is completely incapacitated!"
"Sir, what should we do?" the adjutant asked in a hoarse voice.
Carlos remained silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Surrender!"
This statement marked the end of the independent history of the Titans.
The battlefield was filled with smoke. Explosions, the hum of energy weapons, and the roar of mech engines mingled together.
The Tau soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Survivors hid behind the ruins, their eyes vacant. Their once-proud military strength was utterly vulnerable before the human empire.
The human empire's army continued to destroy the Tau's defenses.
The Titan armor of the Tau is no match for the Imperial Titans; one punch from an Imperial Titan leaves only Titan fragments on the opponent.
"Cease fire!" Carlos's order echoed throughout the army via the communications channel.
The Tau soldiers laid down their weapons, their eyes filled with confusion and resentment.
On the human side, Guilliman stood in the main ship's command center. A holographic projection displayed the real-time battlefield situation.
“It seems they know what’s good for them,” Guilliman said calmly.
The adjutant handed over an intelligence board. "The Tau request peace talks, hoping to retain some autonomy."
Guilliman frowned slightly. "Tell them that we only accept unconditional surrender, and the Tau must become a vassal race of the Empire."
Symbolic negotiations then took place aboard a giant human warship hovering above the Tau homeworld.
During the negotiations, the warships' cannons remained pointed at the Empire's homeworld. If anything unusual happened to the Tau people who came to negotiate, their homeworld and a large number of their compatriots would be wiped out from the world forever.
Carlos led the Tau delegation into the negotiation room, which was solemn and imposing, with the flag of the human empire hanging on the walls.
Guilliman sat in the main seat, staring expressionlessly at the Tau people who had come to negotiate, his aura so powerful it was suffocating.
"welcome."
Carlos took a deep breath. "We hope to reach a mutually beneficial agreement."
Guilliman raised an eyebrow. "Reciprocity? You dare to presume? We can crush you at any time. Your only choices are surrender or annihilation."
The Tau people who came to negotiate were furious, but they dared not show it, because the human empire could easily destroy them.
However, the TIA representative still wanted to fight for more freedom: "We are willing to become part of the empire, but we hope to retain our autonomy in technological research and development and our right to cultural heritage."
Guilliman's gaze was piercing. "Any technological development that could threaten the security of the Empire must be subject to regulation."
Carlos attempted to negotiate. "Our subspace technology could be of immense help to the Empire, if we could retain some autonomy..."
The Calgary representative interrupted, "This is not a business negotiation. This is a surrender agreement."
“You who have human blood on your hands have no choice, and we don’t need your weak technology,” Guilliman said.
"If it weren't for the God-Emperor's insistence on preserving the diversity of species in the universe, you wouldn't even be able to see our warships."
As negotiations progressed, the Titanium Clan gradually came to terms with reality. They truly had no other choice.
Carlos finally bowed his head sadly and said, "We accept the rule of the Empire, but we request that our culture be preserved."
Guilliman's expression turned satisfied. "A wise move. The Empire respects all non-human races who are loyal to humanity. You are entitled to preserve your culture."
After three days and three nights of negotiations between the Tau and human officials, a final agreement was finally reached.
Its main content is that the Tau become a subordinate race of the human empire, retaining limited autonomy and the right to cultural inheritance.
All military forces are brought under the unified command of the Empire, and technological research and development must be subject to the Empire's supervision.
Carlos's hand trembled slightly as he signed the agreement. This stroke marked not only an agreement, but also a turning point in the history of the Tau people.
Guilliman personally stamped the agreement. "From this day forward, the Tau become a subordinate race of the Empire. You will enjoy some of the resources provided by the Empire, while fulfilling the obligation to defend everything within the Empire."
Following the signing of the agreement, the Empire swiftly dispatched administrative officials and military advisors to the main Tau planets.
The Tau are no longer an independent civilization, but rather a part of the human empire.
In the first few days, the Tau people had mixed feelings. Some missed the days of independence, while others were amazed by the Empire's technology and powerful military.
Carlos was appointed by the Empire as the Governor-General of the Tau, responsible for managing the Tau people.
He stood in the newly built imperial administrative center, gazing at the imperial flag hanging outside the window.
Losing independence was painful, but the thought that the Tau had avoided annihilation brought him a sliver of comfort.
As time went on, the Tau people gradually adapted to their new identity. They discovered that their standard of living had significantly improved under the Empire's rule.
The Titan subspace technology expert was invited to join the Imperial research team to participate in the development of a new warship propulsion system.
The elite Tau forces were incorporated into the Imperial Expeditionary Force and participated in the reconquest of other star systems. Their combat capabilities were praised by Imperial officers.
When Carlos reported to Guilliman, he discovered that the Primarch showed genuine respect for the Tau culture. This gave him more hope for the future.
In later Tau history, this period, known as the "Great Integration," was recorded as a turning point in civilization.
Although they lost their independence, the Tau found a new place within the vast Empire system, and their technological and military talents provided some support for the human Empire's reconquest of the galaxy.
On the Imperial map, the Tau star system became an important strategic stronghold, providing a forward base for further conquest.
The Empire's conquest is now 50% complete. Half of the galaxy has returned to human rule.
Chapter 133 The Twelve Evil Gods of Subspace
The human empire's conquest progress has reached 80%.
Yang Yi and the Emperor sat in the main hall of Terra Palace, with countless projections floating in front of them, each displaying the Empire's latest strategic situation.
Most of the Milky Way has been returned to human control, and the remaining areas are being reclaimed in an orderly manner.
"The progress is much faster than expected." Yang Yi casually manipulated the model and nodded in satisfaction.
A flicker of eagerness flashed in the emperor's golden eyes, and a rare smile appeared on his majestic face.
"The resistance from the forces of chaos is weaker than expected."
"Those annoying guys are definitely up to no good!" Yang Yi felt that the major evil gods of the warp would not allow humanity to reclaim its lost territory.
Just as the two were discussing their next strategic move, they suddenly sensed an extremely powerful energy fluctuation surging in from the subspace like a tidal wave.
Yang Yi stood up, his eyes sharp.
The emperor slowly rose, golden light emanating from his body, resisting the erosion of this evil energy.
"These four energies, they must belong to those four guys, but they seem a little different," Yang Yi said in a low voice.
“It must be the four evil gods of the warp.” The Emperor’s voice was low and filled with hatred.
A smile appeared on Yang Yi's lips, and anticipation arose in his eyes.
"Finally couldn't hold back anymore?" He looked at the Emperor, his tone filled with excitement. "I wonder what new tricks they've prepared. I hope they can make me happy."
The emperor did not respond, but simply gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, golden energy flowing across the blade.
The two stood still, carefully sensing the fluctuations of this energy.
"Something seems off." Yang Yi raised an eyebrow.
"The energy is complex, and it seems slightly different from the previous Four Gods," the Emperor added.
Yang Yi nodded. These were indeed the energy characteristics of the four evil gods of the subspace, but there were subtle differences.
Just as the two were pondering, space suddenly distorted.
A massive portal slowly opened in the center of the combat hall, purple energy flowing around the edges of the portal, exuding a dangerous aura.
A tall, slender Slaanesh demon gracefully emerged from the portal.
She had a perfect figure, her skin had an unnatural purple glow, and her eyes sparkled with an alluring pink light.
The Slaanesh demon bowed slightly to the two, then gestured for them to enter the portal.
Yang Yi stepped forward without hesitation.
