Seeing the reaction speed of Arakan's father that exceeded the physical limit, Soshyan understood the reason why the Tau could not defeat the Arakans quickly despite their overwhelming national power and equipment. Even if the ordinary male Arakan did not have the ability of his father,
With a speed of this level, and even only half the strength of his respected father, he has no doubt that he can easily cut through the battle suit with his legs. With the slow reaction of the Tau, ten battle suits may not be able to defeat a male Arakan.
people.
But the Arakans suffer because their national strength is too weak, and their fragmented social structure is not conducive to large-scale wars. There are too few males, their male-female ratio is close to ten to one, and the large number of females has almost no direct combat capabilities.
Males need to be distracted to protect them. As a result, there are fewer male Arrakans who can move on the battlefield. Even with the help of the raiding insect swarms controlled by females, they can easily be besieged and killed by the superior strength of the Tau.
.
In addition, Soshiyan estimated that the high-speed combat skills of the male Arakan must put a heavy burden on the muscles. The white smoke coming out of the thighs of the respected father may be some kind of heat dissipation mechanism, which also indicates that they are probably not good at long-term combat.
, once it cannot quickly defeat all opponents, it will lose its combat effectiveness due to fatigue or its own high temperature.
"What a fierce offensive, fast, accurate and ruthless!"
After Soshiyang praised him, he looked at Lan.
"Do your respected fathers use other weapons besides their legs?"
"They are also good at using firearms and various sword weapons. Males start learning to fight from the moment they are born. When they mature, each male will leave the cooperative to which he belongs and go to an organization called a 'sect'. That is
An association composed entirely of males, where young males will continue to hone their fighting skills and undivided fighting spirit. After passing the assessment, they can choose to leave the sect and join a cooperative that supports the sect, or stay in the sect and continue to improve. Different
There will be regular ritual competitions between the sects, and the final winner will receive the title of master, and the respected father is selected from among the masters."
Soshyan nodded.
"Interesting organizational structure. How many sects are there among the Arrakans now?"
"There are only four sects left, the Blade Sect, the Jin Sect, the Ang Sect, and the Feng Sect. My two respected fathers are from the Blade Sect. The one who demonstrated to Your Highness is named Xin·Yan, and the other is named Wen·Yan."
"Understood, Mrs. Lan, please choose a few representatives when you go back."
"represent?"
"Yes, representative."
A smile appeared on Soshyan's face, but it was not visible because he was wearing a mask.
"Come with me to talk to the so-called Aether... representative."
"Well..."
The meeting had lasted thirty hours, and even Amun Ke, who abided by the ascetic precepts, had to take a big sip of a sour energy drink in order to maintain energy, and then placed the cup on his curved conference table.
The Ether Council of the Ke'shan family consists of twenty-three Ethers, which is an imitation of the Supreme Council of the Ether clan. As a clan, the Ether class also has a job title system, and the Ethers with the lowest job titles will be incorporated into the committee that manages the community.
, or accompany the frontline troops in combat, while the older and more prestigious Ethers will become middle-level managers, either to lead a colonial world, or to serve in the headquarters of the Fire Clan, or to supervise a main fleet for a long time.
The ethers with the most prestige, rich management experience, and outstanding wisdom can enter the ether parliament of the family world. They are the brain, soul and core of the entire family.
But now, each of these ethers is either silent or sighing, and even the lights in the circular conference room have become dim.
"Now the only fleets that can be mobilized around are..."
Ammon Kofer, who was muttering to himself, stared at her cloudy eyes and leaned over to look at the star map. The technicians had updated the family star map with the latest detection data and filled it with dense symbols and shorthand text.
"...There are only three colonial guard fleets left, and four Kroot war spheres..."
The eldest member of the K'shan Etheric Council straightened her back. The slight pain in her waist was relieved by the support of the suspended seat. She lowered her arms and let out a long sigh.
"It won't help."
"I still can't believe that our main fleet was wiped out like this."
Am'lu looked at the star map and made a low voice. He is an ether with broad shoulders and very "strong" by the standards of the Tau. He has sharp eyes and shiny skin. He is also a relatively young person in the parliament, and even more so.
A "fighting sect" always carries his Blade of Honor, and this weapon is now hanging on the weapon rack behind his chair.
He was also one of the ethers who initially pushed for the special military operation against Ada.
"Whether we accept it or not, according to the information returned from the monitoring station near Sabang Star two days ago, our guard fleet is completely destroyed."
Another ether placed his finger on a particularly densely marked area, then he took a breath through his teeth and shook his head seriously.
"This kind of fleet power is more terrifying than the Zerg fleet in the past. What kind of enemy did we encounter?"
"Now that the enemy is at our doorstep, what's the point of talking about it anymore."
The leader of the Ether Parliament and the representative appointed by the Supreme Ether Parliament, Ammonium Technetium clasped his hands together, propped his chin, and fixed his eyes on a large bright red mark on the star map.
That is the enemy's fleet, parked at the edge of the galaxy where the home world is located. This is something they only knew 4 hours ago. This is also what the etherics are most puzzled about. What technology does the enemy use to achieve this?
Such a huge fleet came and went without a trace. Although Jura's fleet also used some kind of teleportation technology to move at super-light speeds on a large scale, they did not have such exaggerated flexibility. Tau's highest
The Academy of Sciences has been working hard to study Jura's mysterious super-light technology, and the enemy they are encountering now seems to be even higher...
Anyway, the opponent's maneuvering mode of coming and going without a trace makes all the defenses in Jiamen World seem as if they don't exist, not to mention that they have no defense at all. The defense system of Jiamen World has long been destroyed by the opponent's fleet.
In fact, after the opponent's fleet left, there were already voices hoping that the ethers would temporarily "transfer" to some safer world, but Ammonium'Technetium rejected this idea. They are ethers, and they have the responsibility to be with the people, guide and
Protect them, whether the outcome is survival or destruction.
"The fact that the other party didn't attack right away means that they may have other purposes, or they may not really want to go to war with us."
"We cannot place our hopes on the mercy of our enemies."
"How bad will it be when the other side starts attacking?"
"It's by no means terrible. Billions of civilians will die, or more, depending on the range of the opponent's attack."
"The planet has entered the highest state of combat readiness. Civilians have been moved to shelters two thousand meters underground or evacuated outside the city. All the Fire Caste have been mobilized, as well as auxiliary troops, plus those who have ventured back from various colonies to support them.
Troops, the current strength of our world has reached 32 million... Combined with the defensive weapons on the ground, it will not be that easy for the enemy to land."
