Chapter 569 06.0568: ‘Greenskin and Vision’

“It’s time to eat! It’s time to eat! To celebrate our safe escape from the turbulence! The captain announced an extra meal today!” The accountants shouted.

To celebrate the Epic and most of the crew members surviving the warp turbulence for the first time, the food on the warship has been upgraded to the level before the jump.

Interestingly, most people did not know that they were in the warp even after experiencing all this.

They only had some gossips circulating among the crew. Since the portholes had to be covered, no one really knew what the ‘highest sky’ that was both strange and familiar to these sailors looked like.

They also did not know that it was actually the realm of demons and evil gods, and everything was concealed so smoothly.

Only the navigators could use the eyes on their foreheads to peek into the warp and avoid danger during navigation.

"What's the dish today! Hey, didn't you say there's no whole meat? What's this?" The sailor who asked for soup and oil before asked in surprise as he looked at the red meatballs in the pot.

"A new dish, the chef named it "Sailor's Meatballs". Throw the remaining minced meat and tendons in the inventory into the meat grinder, grind the meatballs, fry them, and pour red sauce on them. We have run out of ingredients, and this is the last extra meal. If you want extra meals later, only "technology and hard work" will be left."

On the command bridge.

In front of Horatio were also placed "Sailor's Meatballs" presented by the servants. The meatballs were neatly stacked in two circles, an egg was beaten in the middle, and finally the whole dish was poured with sour and sweet red sauce, which looked very festive. I don't know if it was designed in this way to commemorate the successful return to the physical universe from the subspace.

"Captain, the navigation department has confirmed our approximate location through star map comparison, combined with the towed auspex and the surrounding reconnaissance of the fury interceptor."

"Where are we now?" Horatio asked while chewing the juicy meatballs, even at this time he still insisted on the command throne.

"Near Agrelan, the nearest Imperial Navy control area in the southern part of the star map is 5.73 million kilometers away.

According to the shortest route calculation, we will take at least more than one Terra year to successfully return home by taking the physical space route."

"Too long, and Agrelan is almost at the western border of the alien home world. It is completely unrealistic for us to sail such a long distance under the eyes of the enemy. Next, we must take the subspace route.

But before that, let's think about how to solve our supply problem. Our existing supplies will definitely not last for the next subspace jump."

"Captain! The reconnaissance aircraft reported that a large number of greenskin and titanium ships were found in the surrounding area, and they are fighting."

This news made Horatio stand up directly from the command throne.

"Open the battle map."

After saying that, he also observed the surrounding situation on the void sand table. As the bird radar, reconnaissance aircraft, active detection void sonar and other reconnaissance means were activated one by one, the surrounding information gradually became clear and he could see it all.

The Epic is currently near the Mandeville Point in the area, and it happened that two fleets were fighting not far from the Mandeville Point.

On closer inspection, the formations of both sides were relatively chaotic. It can be seen that when the two parties jumped out of the Mandeville Point by coincidence, they collided and had an encounter.

Horatio squinted and carefully looked at the details on the warships of both sides.

The green-skinned orc ship was hung with a crudely made wooden totem. The center of the totem was a black sun, and in the middle of the black sun was a yellow and eye-catching crescent moon. The crescent moon smiled hideously, evil and hateful, silently showing that this group of vicious and cunning greenskins were a group of difficult opponents.

Evil Moon Clan

Greenskins have the custom of using teeth as currency, and trading between individuals and clans with them as equivalents. The Evil Moon Clan is naturally richer than other tribes because their teeth grow faster.

This also means that they have bigger, stronger, and better big dakas, big cannons, and big garbage ships than other clans.

Horatio's eyes turned to the greenskin opponents, and his brows frowned slightly.

[This is... a red Tau warship, a warship of the Farsight Enclave? ]

Horatio looked at the Tau warship painted in a distinctive red color and muttered in his heart.

Commander Farsight, an alien with the longest name of 'Shas'O Vior'la Shovah Kais Mont'yr among the Tau people in the entire galaxy.

A military commander with completely different ideas from the Tau people, a 'betrayer of the Tau Empire', and a reverse scale in the eyes of the Ether.

He is also the first warrior to break away from the Tau Ether rule and try to pursue a way of survival that is truly suitable for his people in the galaxy.

The closest character to the concept of "macho" among the Tau people is the blue-skinned 'Char Aznable'.

If we use an image that is more familiar to the Chinese to describe Farsight's personality, then it may be particularly appropriate to imagine him as 'a more rational and more global Xiang Yu'.

He was once the champion of the Tau Empire against the Human Empire, until he faced the threat of Chaos in the Arthas Moloch incident.

Farsight clearly recognized the serious threat brought by the non-material world and the hidden face of the Ethers as the ruling class. They are either sinister or ignorant and self-deceiving to a pathetic degree.

He is much more sober than most of the Ethers who deceive others to believe in the Greater Good and deceive themselves.

After all, as a Tau commander who had seen and fought demons, he had seen clearly that the essence of the Greater Good was to escape the danger that every civilization in the galaxy would face sooner or later, and was convinced that the Tau would face unprecedented threats due to the problem of escaping the Warp and Chaos.

The Farsight Enclave cut off its ties with the Tau Empire and began to govern itself, while Farsight put his combat uniform in a museum and became a hermit, because he was worried that if he reported everything he had discovered back to the Tau Empire, it might trigger a crisis of faith:

Most Tau people believed that the Greater Good could make them equal to the major forces in the galaxy, or even surpass them.

But Farsight clearly realized the painful truth - the Tau Empire was just a drop in the ocean, the Ether and their Greater Good were simply lies, and the faith of his compatriots was meaningless, but without it to bring everyone together, the entire Tau would face the catastrophe brought by Chaos and Greenskins.

Therefore, the style of Farsight Enclave was completely different from the brutal expansion policy of the Tau Empire.

So far, the Farsight Enclave is still focusing on the construction and development of colonies on the Unknown Land, and the population has reached hundreds of billions.

Farsight himself also has an ambiguous view on the threat of the Human Empire-

Their fanaticism and hostility will indeed tirelessly destroy the Tau, but he is sure that the Human Empire has no intention of dealing with the Tau at this time, because they are facing a greater threat-Chaos.

And the tip of the iceberg of this threat almost killed him and his men.

The two forces of Greenskins and Farsight are now obstacles in front of the Epic. He must pass through them first in any case before he can have room for subsequent operations.

At this time, Farsight's warships had not yet formed a stable battle formation due to the unexpected assault encounter, and were disrupted by a wave of orcs rushing out from Mandeville Point one step ahead.

With their tough and sturdy ships and brutal attacks, the orcs took advantage of the opportunity to sail out of Mandeville Point before the other side and smashed the Farsight Fleet, which jumped into the real universe later than them.

Many enclave warships could only fight on their own, and were boarded by the green-skinned orcs at will, and the overall situation was obviously at a disadvantage.

Even if the Farsight Enclave fleet could finally gather some warships to launch a counterattack, they would only be able to get out of the battle after paying a heavy loss, and at least half of the warships would have to stay here and become the spoils of the orcs.

This gave Horatio an idea.
