The Emperor’s Angel of Death

The Eternal Court's vast armored strength stems from the sole military strategy devised by Sochoyan for the Court: he realized early on that the Eternal Court's numerous unconventional armed forces were too inefficient on the battlefield. Although the Aeldari possess extremely high physical qualities, not all are warlike; in fact, many Aeldari resist war, and facing the flames of battle can instill fear in them. In this situation, forcibly creating a large number of light infantry would be futile. Therefore, Sochoyan targeted another potential of the Aeldari – their unparalleled focus and self-control.

This involves a very interesting concept: since the Aeldari have few soldiers, it is obviously not cost-effective for them to face a hail of bullets with their bodies. Their mode of controlling war machines is basically single-person or two-person operation, which does not require the complex operational memory of humans. They can achieve basic driving almost instinctively, and with a little training, they become excellent drivers. Most importantly, what they "drive" does not conflict with their Path or life philosophy.

Therefore, after becoming Phoenix Lord, Sochoyan pondered that instead of letting the militia go to the battlefield with shuriken rifles, it would be better to let them fight in safer vehicles, and assign the infantry tasks to the elite Path warriors. However, this plan was not realized until the Yme-Loc Craftworld joined the Court.

He issued an instruction to the Val engineers, ordering them to burn the Val forges to the limit and manufacture all kinds of vehicles with all their strength, from single-person to two-person, from light to heavy, all in batches, the more the better!

However, when dealing with human cultists before, Sochoyan thought it was overkill to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, so he did not take out these equipments from the armory. But the T'au are different enemies, so he opened the Court's armory and took out all the heavy vehicles inside. The Court's non-standing warriors have already received driving training for various vehicles in their spare time. Due to the large number of vehicles, they can even choose the ones they are good at driving.

For the convenience of combat, Sochoyan turned the Court army into six combat groups. Each combat group is guaranteed to have 100 War Walkers, 100-200 Hornet attack craft, 100 Falcon tanks of various types, and 10 Storm Serpent tanks. As for the infantry, they are assigned according to the situation. They will quickly enter the battlefield from the rear through the webway portal carried by the Storm Serpent tanks. This enables the limited Aeldari forces to have extremely high combat efficiency and be able to transfer from one battlefield to another in a few seconds (having a battlefield teleportation gate is so heaven-defying).

The Scorpion heavy tanks are formed into separate armored hunting squads, specializing in attacking enemy strongholds and large vehicles – these tanks are huge yet unbelievably fast, almost like flying vehicles, so they do not rely on infantry cover.

Obviously, the T'au lack an understanding of the power they are about to face. Although their response has been very timely, even without orders from the Supreme Command, the front-line commanders still quickly issued instructions to quickly shrink the advancing troops and quickly form an armored core composed of Hammerhead and Sky Ray missile gunships to delay the enemy's counterattack and find out the enemy's direction of attack, buying time for the reorganization of the rear infantry and battlesuits, after which a new attack can be launched against the enemy.

The T'au's efficiency is undeniably fast, but their speed is still slow in front of the Aeldari. Just as the Fire Warriors on the front line hurriedly retreated to the vicinity of the attack line, the Aeldari armored formations quietly entered their flanks in an arc formation. When the Storm Serpents activated their wraithbone portals, in just a few heartbeats, a large number of grav-bikes, swarms of Howling Banshees, Dire Avengers, Striking Scorpions, Dark Reapers and other Aspect Warriors poured out.

The T'au, who were still organizing the attack line, were caught off guard in an instant. Their camps were ruthlessly crushed by the roaring Falcon tanks. Beams and shurikens shuttled through the crowd, turning Fire Warriors and Earth Caste technicians into ashes. The Exodites riding motorcycles waved their customary long knives, howling as they swept over the T'au's heads, taking away heads one by one. The Howling Banshees screamed while wielding swords and hacking wildly in the crowd. The chainswords of the Striking Scorpions were already filled with the flesh and blood of the T'au.

Despite the officers' efforts to organize and shout 'Mont'ka', the entire battlefield was already in chaos. The enemy was everywhere, and the Aeldari's physical and speed advantages were infinitely magnified in the melee. The T'au were interfered by a large number of non-combatants, and the whole scene was a mess, unable to organize an effective attack at all.

The Shas wearing battlesuits fought hard, but with the Dark Reapers' sneers, VX8s were shot through the chest and head as soon as they took off and crashed to the ground.

At the same time, Sochoyan, sitting in the rear, was not satisfied with defeating the T'au forces on the front line. He needed to end the battle immediately, because he had received news from Amnach that the Spoiler was coming soon. Therefore, the Aeldari attack forces would not stay long after defeating a T'au position, but would continue to penetrate deeper, jumping to the next gathering point hundreds of kilometers away.

This high-intensity, highly mobile opponent made it difficult for the T'au to adapt, and what frightened them even more was the Aeldari's elusive and scientifically impossible super-heavy "flying" tank.

"Let Khaine carry out His bloody plan, may He be able to tally His blood tithe."

Georg praised in a low voice, while manipulating the Scorpion tank "Unhappy", directly crushed towards the fleeing Fire Warriors. Some of them were also shooting, but the weapons in their hands could not hurt the reinforced wraithbone armor at all, and the buzzing drones could not aim at any target due to the Titan-level holo-fields of the Scorpion.

The bladed prow of "Unhappy" was covered with sharp blades. When it swept through the Fire Warriors' formation at an extremely fast speed, countless severed limbs flew into the sky, staining the tank's wraithbone shell with a mottled color.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're making it like this, are you going to wash it?"

At this moment, the gunner Ribbentrop's words interrupted Georg's interest and forced him to control the tank to stop this charge. Then, the Shining Spear in front of the vehicle and the scattering lasers on both sides began to attack the distraught T'au, turning them into charcoal one by one.

"I said, can't we be less boring?"

"Interesting, I didn't say you couldn't be interesting, just remember to wash the car."

"Didn't we agree to take turns? I just finished washing it last time."

"You made a mess and then it's my turn? This time I let you drive, otherwise it should be my turn according to the rotation order, or we can switch positions now."

"No change! Just fire your gun honestly!"
