Chapter 563 Shadows in War
Shadow Sun overlooks the entire planet below, its blue surface, and the highland tundra under the clouds are dotted with its green spots, making the entire planet look like an oil painting on a scroll.
When Vito showed his real body, took over the command of the Star Force, and prepared, she also came here, Shadow Sun, the war master of the Tau tribe, and the apprentice of the famous Master Qingxi.
Different from the impatience of his senior brother's foresight, and his war skills like fire, Yingyang is more gentle like water. She is good at observation and makes the right decision at the best moment.
She stands here alone, on the edge of darkness, bathed in the light of the planet, her eyes staring at the colors below, observing everything on the planet.
Around her, the Tau fleet surrounded her, and they moored quietly at the edge of the planet's halo, like a fleet across the starry sky, sailing on a calm sea.
She led her fleet here and traveled across the ocean of Damocles. It took several months. Although the Tau tribe worked hard to study the subspace navigation technology of human beings, they still failed to break through.
But no matter what the future is, what difficulties there are in the star sea, she has come here with the sacred vocation bestowed by the Supreme Ether herself, and now, she is waiting.
"Commander Shadowsun." A person spoke behind her, he walked over from a distance, appeared from the darkness, he was wearing a tactical uniform, and his footsteps came calmly and powerfully.
"We have received the order of the Supreme Ether, and your lord has decided to officially declare war on Yaguina (ps: Yaguina, the Tau's derogatory name for human beings, the translation roughly means barbarians)."
The etheric general in tactical uniform said sincerely, with infinite respect for the supreme ether in his words, Yingyang turned around, "Where is the human fleet?"
The general of the Tau tribe shook his head, "We haven't found the fleet of Yagui, and the original Astrid fleet has also disappeared. The technicians of the Earth clan believe that they have entered the place called subspace by the Yagui, and their current location is unknown. ’” (Astri, the tau’s pejorative name for the Astartes, which translates roughly as slaying barbarians)
"On the surface, General Qing Quan's pre-emptive strike is very effective. The sky of Yaguru already belongs to us, and he is launching an attack. In the name of the Supreme Ether, our troops have broken through Yaguru's outer platform defense line on the planet, and they are powerless to stop it , is retreating."
Yingyang shook his head and turned to the planet, "No, they are retreating voluntarily. The human commanders know that they are unable to rely on their current forces to fight us in an all-round way, so they actively chose to shrink the line of defense and give us the useless platform. .”
"He is a wise man." Shadow Sun said calmly, but appreciatively, "He is retreating to the largest city on the planet, concentrating all his troops, so that, although he is at a disadvantage in the entire planet, he is still at a disadvantage in the entire planet. In some urban battlefields, he has already restored the balance of the battlefield, and he is well versed in the way of soldiers."
The general of the Tau tribe nodded sincerely, and then stepped forward, "Then should we carry out ground bombing? Order the fleet to open fire."
He continued, looking down at the planet below, "Asteri doesn't know the location yet, and may arrive at any time. If the results of the water clan's reconnaissance are correct, their strength is far greater than during the third sky war."
Yingyang shook his head, his face was silent, "The order from the Supreme Ether is for us to take this planet instead of turning it into scorched earth."
She continued, looking down at the city looming under the clouds, "Besides, there are also in the city the converts of the human race to the higher good, and we should not make such a decision unless necessary, as the High Ether teaches, that fire Not meant to be destroyed."
"Just as the Supreme Ether taught." The Tau general lowered his head, nodded sincerely to Yingyang, and then retreated silently after the former was speechless.
Yingyang turned around, she took out a string of rosary beads around her neck, touched it lightly, and it projected a projection in front of her, it was Commander Qingquan, he bowed to Yingyang.
He is a member of the Fire Clan, wearing a combat uniform and carrying a gun on his back. Although the appearance of the Tau Clan is similar, his physique is stronger than any brother of the same clan, and his face is full of years of fighting. The scars from the battle all interpret his glory and prove that he is worthy of this battle suit.
"Master Yingyang, in the name of the supreme good way, may the ether guide you." The commander said respectfully.
"May he guide you as well." Yingyang nodded simply, "General, your troops don't attack the city yet, pull out the surrounding strongholds, clear the flanks, and launch a siege to the city."
"Do you think that Yaguina has ambushes around?" The general asked silently, while Yingyang stroked the rosary, his eyes flickering with thoughts, before speaking a moment later.
"Your attack was too smooth." She said simply, with only one sentence, but the general nodded in agreement after a moment of silence, "That's true, Master Yingyang, I discovered something strange in the previous air strike."
"What kind?" Yingyang asked keenly, and the eyes in his eyes sharpened instantly, "Yagui's battlefield system, radar and early warning are all suddenly paralyzed, so we can succeed, but that's not what we did, someone did it for us Eliminated Aguina's headquarters."
"The method is sophisticated and extremely fast. When our fighter planes arrived, the headquarters had been completely destroyed, as were the remaining radar stations and generator stations," the general said.
Yingyang immediately noticed something, such a superb attack method, and completed all the attacks in a very short period of time, this is not something that the supporters of the supreme good way on the planet can do.
They carry fanaticism and sufficient enthusiasm for fighting, but the Star Militarum is not incompetent. Shadowsun has fought against them and knows that they are all qualified fighters.
"In addition, Master, we found traces of space warriors in the trading settlements." The general said again, Yingyang immediately frowned and began to think, the general also thought about it and then spoke cautiously.
"General."
"No, General, whether or not this is the case, we all have the mission given by the Supreme Ether. We will take down this planet, just as the Ether desires, as the good way guides."
She pondered in silence for a while, **** the rosary in her hand, and then looked up, "Be careful of any hidden dangers, pay attention to their tracks, and tell me."
"As ordered, leave." General Qingquan arched his hands, clenched his fists in front of him and then disappeared, the luster on the rosary also dimmed, Yingyang put away the rosary, turned to look at the planet outside.
In the endless night sky, there was nothing, it was empty, as if reaching the end of the void, but this was what made Yingyang most uneasy.
Staring at the void, she let out a long breath after a long time, and looked firmly at the planet below, "With the highest ether and the highest good."
