Chapter 87: A crushing battle to capture the Supreme Ether

Chapter 87: A crushing battle to capture the Supreme Ether
The leader of the Eastern Sector, the Supreme Ether Councillor, was captured.

The entire Tau Empire would be shaken to its core and would launch a massive expedition against his world.

Their dozen or so home worlds will abandon all their current enemies.

Send the best commanders, the strongest warriors, allies and all loyalists into the battlefield and destroy them utterly.

"You are setting yourself up for destruction, destroyers of worlds!"

"Commander Filius, please evacuate. This guy is crazy. He's just like those green orcs. He's unreasonable."

The heroic fire warriors covered their commander and evacuated the battlefield.

This is a madman, a powerful madman who spreads fallacies and heresies.

They didn't expect that this guy without power armor would be more terrifying than those Space Marines wearing power armor.

At least, the other party is still a human being.

And he is not a human being at all.

Filius refused to evacuate and pushed aside the Fire Warrior in front of him, looking at him solemnly, "Protect the diplomats, cover their evacuation. Remember, your most important thing is to protect the senator and the Ether. No matter what, do not let them get close to him."

"But, you!"

"No buts. This is my final order as commander." Fi'lios stared at the Fire Warrior's soul across from him, using all his strength to speak the truth. "Everything for the Greater Good! This isn't just a slogan; it's everything our entire race needs to survive. No enemy can take it away, and no situation can strip it away. Without it, we have no meaning to exist. So, no matter what, protect the Aether. For the Greater Good."

"Everything. For the Greater Good! Take care, Commander."

Watching the Fire Warriors covering the Water Clan diplomats' departure, he looked at Sithlain who was surrounded by a large number of battle suits.

Unstoppable.

These people can never stop him.

Such people are a threat to the Tau Empire just by being alive.

Not just his strength, but also his attitude towards the invasion of the Tau Empire.

Perhaps they can negotiate among themselves, but the diehards he represents must disappear.

"In the past, I always questioned myself, is it really meaningful to do this for the greater good?"

"Now I can tell myself that all this makes sense."

"Perhaps the Ether has concealed some terrible truths from ordinary Tau, but it cannot be denied that the Ether has united the Tau and embraced all races."

"Just like now, everyone's sacrifice and dedication are meaningful. You can't start to deny its significance when you need to stand up."

"For the greater good, not for yourself."

Filius made up his mind, and his eyes began to become firm.

He wanted to stay here, and then drag this terrible enemy, Sislaine, down with him and die together, and be buried in this universe.

The control of this starship was in his hands, and as long as he stayed, there would be time to start it up.

"Fi'Rita"

An exquisite soldier bee floated in front of Fi'lios.

"commander"

"I'm sorry for not showing you a better world."

"Commander, having you in this world is already the most wonderful thing."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. We're friends, aren't we?"

Filius took a deep breath and his eyes became more determined.

Without hesitation, he activated the starship's power self-destruct mode through Filita. The place where they negotiated was set up at the top of the power engine.

They have been very careful.

They are also very wary of humans.

They destroyed every battleship they could detect.

They left the man to negotiate alone, unarmed.

They have implemented a series of security measures to protect Ethereum.

They made adequate preparations to persuade the other side to surrender.

But despite all their preparations, when they confronted each other, they still underestimated the enemy. Their mistake was not how powerful the enemy was, but that their imagination of the enemy's power was still too small, and their imagination of the universe was still too small.

Their sky dome expansion plan allowed them to see more enemies, but...
Is their previous path really still suitable?
It really doesn't need to change, and everything continues to move forward according to the original trajectory?
"This is a terrifying guy. Even if he and I die together, I am still afraid that he is still alive. Tau Empire, my beloved empire. If you encounter him, please destroy him at all costs. I can see that he will threaten our world."

"My beloved Tau Empire."

"Please be careful"

The self-destruction of the engine caused huge cracks in the starship's deck.

The radiation and temperature generated by the starship's power engine can easily melt steel and iron plates.

A vigorous force is rushing up from below, determined to break through numerous obstacles and burst into dazzling light.

"The starship disintegrated!"

"Leave quickly!"

"Don't leave, stop him!" At this time, Filius shouted, asking those people not to leave the self-destructing starship, "Everything is for the Greater Good!"

"commander?"

"commander!"

Looking at the commander who did not leave.

Others also realized their way.

They are the most loyal warriors of the Tau Empire.

They are the most powerful warriors of the Tau Empire.

In this dangerous situation, they had no choice.

Because the Tau Empire has encountered its most terrifying and difficult enemy yet.

This may be the only chance to destroy this enemy.

There is only one chance. Once you miss it, you may never get such a good opportunity again.

Here they would perish together with their enemies of the Tau Empire.

Despite many reluctances.

Despite endless reluctance.

but.

For the Tau Empire. For the High Aether.

"For the Greater Good!"

They need to risk their lives to stop this terrible enemy.

war!
war! !

war! ! !
Think of the world they are protecting behind them, and think of the ether behind them.

It would be even less likely for them to let Sithlain leave.

Die with him.

It is worth it to exchange the lives of countless fire warriors for a powerful enemy leader.

outer space.

Seeing the engine self-destructing and breaking through the layers of decks and heading towards the top deck, Vulgan clenched his fists. Especially when he saw the tail of the starship and the large number of fighter planes fleeing from it, the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Despicable alien!"

"I shouldn't have believed their lies in the first place."

"But if the Governor hadn't boarded the ship, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter the enemy warship."

"."

"Capture their lord, at any cost!"

"The Governor's Side"

"Believe me, Governor. Our battle barge has already sailed towards that starship. Governor, you will be safe."

Although Vulgan was worried, Sithlaine was under the Emperor's watchful eye.

How could the self-destruction of a mere power engine destroy Governor Sislaine?

However, these aliens broke their promise.

It's really too much of a lie.

"Dash towards their starship and capture their Supreme Aether!"

Their Ether is of great value, and they must not let it escape.

The aircraft groups of both sides started a large-scale melee in space.

A large number of unmanned warships, combat barges, and fighter jets are engaged in combat, and even some space mining ships are mixed in the melee.

The number of fighter planes on the world of Karamat is far less than that of the Tau Empire.

So, this is almost a crushing war.

But fortunately, they didn't really want to fight a space war with them. They deployed so many ships and fighter jets just to create opportunities for boarding battles.

Now, the opportunity has been obtained.

They entered the other side's main starship of the ether.

As long as the enemy's Ether is still on the starship, the enemy will have to fight them in boarding battles, which they are more adept at.

"Data is being read"

"Captain, I have obtained the spatial layout of the enemy warship and retrieved the possible location of their ether."

"The starship space layout diagram is being sent to everyone."

The Salamanders' technical sergeants are very skilled at invading the enemy's systems and obtaining information from within starships. With the overlay system they have developed through reverse engineering, they can carry out cyber special attacks against Tau Empire starships and download the enemy's space layout more conveniently.

"found it!"

"Is this their ether?"

"Assemble to the middle deck of area B, they are evacuating to the aft ship area!"

"Member, please follow us."

"Don't go up to the deck, there are enemies over there."

"Enemy has appeared on the lower deck as well."

"How do they know where the Supreme Aether is?"

"The other party must have hacked into our system."

"Protect the Supreme, stop them."

Councillor Annuo has already realized that the other party is hunting him.

The other party's target is yourself.

From Sithlain's mouth, we have learned that the other party knows everything about the Tau Empire. If he were the other party, he would also take down a big shot like him first.

His personal presence on the battlefield this time was a wrong decision.

His presence put the Tau Empire's fleet on the defensive.

He was hesitating.

Do you want to sacrifice?

Because as long as he sacrifices himself, he can help these fire warriors out of trouble and instantly reverse the current passive situation.

Those fire warriors who are in trouble will have the opportunity to completely destroy the opponent.

"Sir, please follow us and leave. We have opened a safe path for you."

The chance of escape mentioned by the Fire Warrior made Annuo temporarily give up the idea of sacrifice.

After all, there is still a chance to live, how could he bear to die.

In the Tau Empire, he is the supreme being.

He has a long life compared to other clans.

He possesses the wisdom to make greater contributions to the Tau Empire.
