There are Kroots in almost every Tau army. These humanoid beasts evolved from birds are bloodthirsty carnivorous predators. They are only slightly better than beasts, but they are loyal to the Tau Empire and are perfect.
Suitable for missions involving close contact with the enemy.
"Report, no signs of enemy activity, end."
"Received, continue the search, communication with the orbit is now forced to be interrupted, pay attention to emergencies, end."
After Xin'Arjun finished communicating with his commander, he stepped forward with his team and moved towards the depths of the ruins, stepping on the creaking blackened dead wood. Around him, he could see figures of other teams moving cautiously in the smoke, as well as hammerhead sharks speeding past.
The trajectory that has been drawn.
The swirling black smoke turned the originally lush forest into a dark maze. Burnt corpses were everywhere, including the remains of some dragons tamed by Ada that were twitching and not dying immediately. The fire warrior team headed towards
It was an act of mercy as he walked forward, killing silently, but Xin'Arjun could still feel the members of the squad drawing closer to each other out of disgust at this death.
"Captain, a collection was found."
Suddenly, a soldier on his right made a voice. He turned around and saw that the soldier pushed away the ashes on the ground and revealed a slender outline that had been completely carbonized. It could be seen that the deceased kept his hands clasping his chest when he was dying.
The fire warrior broke off the opponent's arm roughly, just like breaking off a branch, then picked up a bright and shining Yin ruby, held it above his head and looked at it carefully.
"The texture doesn't look like ore. It's beautiful and rare. I'm afraid it's worth a lot of money."
When the Fire Warrior softly admired it, Xin'Arjun walked over and stretched out his hand, and the other party immediately placed it in his palm knowingly - the Fire Warriors were strictly disciplined and were never allowed to hide trophies privately.
Holding the mysterious gem, Xin'Arjun immediately put it into the storage box on his waist. This was also their target. The command headquarters asked the fire warrior team on the front line to collect this mysterious gem as soon as it was discovered.
Save it and turn it in when you return.
As for what it is that is worthy of such an effort, Xin'Arjun doesn't know, and it's not their business.
As the team entered the ruins of the enemy's village, some teams could be seen already in place. They opened up the collapsed buildings and searched among the ashes. Drones were also scanning continuously, and anything valuable was loaded onto the side.
Hammerhead Shark, at this time, its temporary cargo hold is already filled with all kinds of items, from decorations to weapons to daily necessities.
It even made it clear that if they are cultural and artistic trophies, they must be well preserved. These are items of great research value.
Occasionally, some excited cheers can be heard in the ruins. When I walked over, I saw that a team of fire warriors had discovered the incubation room hidden underground by the enemy. There were many dragon-taming eggs hidden in it, and there were even newly hatched baby dragons.
Each of them held the egg that was bigger than their head and walked past Xin'Arjun carrying the struggling and squeaking baby dragon. These precious possessions would contribute to the prosperity of their family's world.
But for some reason, four words popped out of his head. Are they now equivalent to...burning, killing, and looting?
He shook his head quickly to get rid of these thoughts. This was not something he should consider, and their behavior was to fight for interests in the family world.
While he and the soldiers continued to search for the scattered gems in the ruins, they suddenly heard the joyful cries of the greedy and hungry Kroot people. Out of curiosity, he walked over and saw the beasts surrounding a pile of corpses. At this moment
Only then did he realize that the rumors about his allies were true.
One of the Kroots saw the watching Fire Warriors and made a chirping sound. It shook its claws back and forth, holding a red corpse in its jagged beak. It was a slender arm. Look at the length.
It's from an Ada child.
The humanoid beast then tilted its head and waved, its movements and expressions cunning and mocking, as if inviting Xin'Arjun to share the feast.
"Barbaric stuff..."
Zin'Arjun, who saw a Kroot eating for the first time, stepped back and heard two Fire Warrior recruits vomiting in their helmets.
Although they all know that the Kroot are loyal allies of the Greater Good, the fact that the Kroot eat the flesh of the dead has always been half-hidden. Most of the Tau do not know their "good intentions".
"Partners" have this habit, including fire warriors who have no experience, and even Shas Tungsten like Xin'Arjun may not have seen it, but only heard such rumors.
The Kroot are a kind of humanoid barbarians that evolved from birds. They are tall, about half a meter taller than ordinary humans. They have ugly faces with bird-like beaks and long feathers on their heads. Although they look skinny
But muscles are like metal cables that can stretch instantly and are very powerful.
The alliance between the Tau and the Kroot originated from an accident. An exploration spacecraft departing from Do'is tracked a long series of Orc ships firing at the Kroot war ball.
They were operating defensively from the enclave of Kerez - despite being hopelessly outnumbered.
Although they were just sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers at first, the leaders of the Air Clan and the generals of the Fire Clan still couldn't bear to watch the orcs snatch new fruits of victory, so the young Tau Empire was involved in a fight that did not belong to them.
.
After quickly deploying their advanced fleet, the Tau Empire's pilots destroyed the green-skinned rickety hulks. However, when these warriors finally realized that what they had just defeated was just the vanguard, it was too late.
A massive invasion has surrounded the newly victorious locals and unexpected visitors.
Afterwards, this battle was praised as the "Battle of the Alliance" because it marked the first time that the Tau and the Kroot fought side by side. This unexpected alliance was surprisingly efficient enough to resist the invasion of the Orks.
Until reinforcements came from the Sa'shi, and then a triumphant victory against the greenskins came as expected.
The Tau Empire helped the Kroot eradicate the Ork threat from several planets. Finally, at the request of the Kroot leader, the Tau Empire decided to liberate Pike, the Kroot's home planet.
The Tau and Kroot forces fought a difficult and brutal bloody battle with the Greenskins on the planet Pike, and finally liberated this jungle world.
When the war dissipated, the Kroot leaders made a promise in front of the sacred oath stone. The Kroot people would form an eternal alliance with the Tau Empire, and the Kroot people would also fight for the Greater Good. Of course,
Reasonable remuneration is indispensable for blood and sweat, but the Ethereals are obviously willing to pay such remuneration, so the Kroot are also the most common members of the alien auxiliary army among the legions of the Tau Empire.
Perhaps because he was worried that his teammates' performance would anger these alien allies, Xin'Arjun immediately spoke out.
"Stop looking and go do your own thing."
Then he turned around and left, but perhaps he was too focused on the scene he had just witnessed in his mind. He suddenly tripped over something and almost fell. When he lowered his head, he froze.
