Home gates are a very distinctive administrative division of the Tau. Since the Tau do not have astropaths, this means that information and announcements may take quite a long time to reach all parts of the Tau Empire, so the Tau leadership decided to decentralize power.
With each new wave of colonial expansion, the planets they selected were the most suitable for settlement. These planets became the centers of local government, that is, the home gates, and also served as centers for other nearby worlds, somewhat similar to the hereditary governor sectors of the empire.
Including an indefinite number of colonized worlds, moons, or space bases, a Tau's homeworld is an integral part of his identity, so each person's name is consistent with the origins of their homeworld.
In addition to following the Tau's power core in the general direction, each family developed on its own in other aspects, so they all developed their own dialects, fleets and armies, and their own ways of conducting war.
At the same time, the magnificent star map about the extreme star field where the Tau tribe is located was also spread out above the heads of everyone in the Privy Council, and it quickly narrowed down to the realm of the Tau.
I have to say that Ada at least has a very detailed and comprehensive grasp of the astronomical conditions of the Milky Way. Perhaps this is the greatest wealth left by the ancient empire to future generations. Such complete star maps are available in almost every Arkworld. The exploration of ancient Ada
Researchers have almost understood the Milky Way very clearly except for a few areas. Although there have been some changes in the stars during the period, overall there are still very few civilizations that have mastered the complete detailed star map of the Milky Way.
The Kingdom of Tau is located in the eastern part of the Extreme Star Territory, which is a very remote location in itself, and this world of the Ke'shan family is even more in the easternmost part of the Kingdom of Tau. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is in the corner of the corner, but there happens to be one
The more remote world of Ada Virgin lies next to it.
"The Kingdom of Lilarsus is a medium-sized kingdom with a population of about 150,000. It was founded on the eve of the Great Fall. Their main allies are the Weeping Dawn Troupe and the craft world Iyanden. Iyanden has been regularly patrolling for a long time in the past.
Here, but since the tragic loss in the Battle of the Burning Moon, Iyanden has reduced the scope of its activities. In addition, there used to be a strong Hungry Dragon fleet in that area, so Iyanden basically gave up patrolling the area. Lira
Ersus could only rely on itself to defend itself, so they formed a standing army that was much larger than the average kingdom, called the White Dragon Knights, with more than 8,000 dragon knights of various types, and hundreds of dragon-taming fortresses.
, there are even three mountain dragons that survived the fall of the Arrogance. It stands to reason that they can deal with normal-sized invaders... But this Ke'shan family is indeed not an ordinary person. They repelled it decades ago.
Although the fleet of the Hungry Dragon caused them huge losses, it also indirectly protected Lilarsus."
Soshiyang propped his chin up with his right fist and looked at the star map for a while, then frowned and said:
"Then why did they suddenly attack Lilarsus? In my memory, the Tau are not... a very offensive race, although they have been expanding."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Iwahan's face, and finally he just whispered:
"Your Highness Qizou, at present...it is unknown. We have not had any communication with the Tau, nor have the residents of Lilarsus, but they have brought some images."
Soon, more than a dozen projection balls projected realistic images into the air.
Soshyan looked at one of them and saw the enemy being engulfed in a sea of fire, followed by a group of gray, sharp-edged combat robot-like things rising from the sea of fire, and the weapons on their arms and shoulders began to emit a blue halo.
, then a group of soldiers holding rifles and wearing gray closed armor rushed directly out of the flames and started shooting.
A moment later, a group of Ada warriors wearing bone-white armor and riding bipedal war dragons roared over, impaling each of the gray soldiers with the laser spears in their hands, but many were killed by the enemies in the sky, including both men and dragons.
Then Soshyan looked to another place and saw the Ada knight riding a pterosaur in the sky soaring in the storm of lasers and plasma. Pterosaurs were constantly being penetrated by their wings and falling, and what caused all this was a
A kind of flat aircraft, and at the same time, a larger outline can be vaguely seen passing through the burning clouds, just like the shallow ripples caused by a giant beast swimming in the deep sea on the water surface...
Soshiyang frowned and turned to another scene. A huge triceratops stepped over the burning ruins and slammed into a unique ground vehicle, or an anti-gravity vehicle, because it actually
It was a little high from the ground. It was hit by the artillery on the back of the Triceratops before it landed. The sharp dragon horns directly tore the cockpit of the vehicle. You can even see a short figure impaled on the dragon.
The hands and feet on the corner are still struggling.
But suddenly several dazzling flashes of light flashed across, and the head of the Triceratops evaporated directly. Then a huge, equally angular giant machine fell from the sky and stepped on the overturned dragon. According to what Soshyan had seen
Based on the size of a Triceratops, he deduced that this thing was four to five meters tall. Its right arm was a plasma weapon emitting blue light, and its left arm was a multi-barreled cannon. Its head was almost connected to the body, making it look very small.
, there is a huge lens on the front that looks like a Cyclops, with almost no possibility of close combat, but it can fly...
The last scene Soshyan saw was that a huge spiritual bone building was slowly collapsing. A mountain dragon carrying a huge war fortress was spewing hot plasma airflow towards the enemy, and the fortress behind it was also constantly firing towards the surroundings.
There were dazzling beams of light and flashing shurikens.
Suddenly, dense plasma and lasers rained down on it. Even the mountain dragon's tough body still raised its head and roared under the pain. Through the smoke, Soshiyang saw something almost the same as a large knight mecha.
A nearly huge machine is shooting. Its whole body is covered with long-range weapons, not only its arms, but also three giant cannons on its back. It can be said that its firepower has been increased to the limit.
After less than three minutes of observation, Soshyan made his own judgment.
The Tau attach great importance to long-range attack capabilities, and most of their vehicles can fly, which means that they are not only highly tactically mobile, but may also have strong air power, and they also have large bipedal mechas no less than the Knights.
.
The history of Ada's dealings with Titanium is not long. They have long maintained an attitude of indifference to the fact of this "small clan". However, the two sides have had many conflicts and exchanges. Through various channels, Wang Ting has also reserved some
Information about Titanium, and this information is kept in the Privy Council for war purposes.
Soshyan hooked his fingers, and several golden balls flew in front of him. Then a lot of data was listed, including descriptions, descriptions and introductions to some Tau equipment.
After reading it for a short time, Soshyan had some idea. The Titanium was of a different type from most of the enemies he had encountered so far. It was not how terrifying their weapons were or how large their numbers were, but how powerful their weapons were.
The combat method and style are definitely novel. As a soldier who is used to fighting old battles, at least from his perspective, this enemy is in a sense...
Quite tricky!
While Soshyan was analyzing the Tau's combat effectiveness and fighting methods, some of the following commanders had already expressed their opinions.
