Chapter 362: Star Region Situation Ambassador Invitation
Chapter 362: Star Region Situation Ambassador Invitation
"Okay, enough about the history. I'm more concerned about the situation in the Jericho sector and whether it's as complicated as other regions."
Although Lin Heng knew that the entire Milky Way was interconnected, knowing more about the local situation would allow him to rationally judge a more secure plan in his subsequent survival.
"That's quite complicated. Orcs, Chaos Warbands, and Dark Eldar are always robbing and pillaging. You should also know how bad the Imperial Ministry of the Interior is. They simply can't spare any troops to encircle the Tau Empire, so sporadic attacks are useless against our home world.
At most, the Eye of Damocles in the Ario system, that is, the Death Watch with the Watch Fortress, can have enough troops, but in the past two years, the other side does not seem to focus on stopping the Tau Empire. "
Lin Heng raised his head. This was the kind of news he wanted to hear, because after absorbing the gene seed of the Black Shield Priest, the movements of various forces also mentioned a lot of instructions from the other party.
"Expand your story."
So Jack started talking nonstop, and to sum it up in two sentences, it was one of the most powerful overwatch fortresses, using resources to carry out planetary extermination in the northeastern part of the Jericho sector.
No matter what kind of creatures there are, no matter whether it is rich or not, all resources will be cleared out. This is a direct plan for planetary extinction.
Lin Heng frowned, because the information in his mind and the prophecy before he woke up made the answer to the question lead to a dangerous result.
And when he looked at Taraxin who was standing quietly beside him, the other party's slightly abnormal behavior seemed to confirm his guess.
"In the past two years, they have been carrying out a planetary extermination strategy. It seems that even one of the eighteen watch fortresses of the Death Watch is not capable of guaranteeing a head-on confrontation with the other party. Using this strategy can only mean that the other party's strength has exceeded the defense level of the nearby star regions.
The only thing I can think of is the Tyranids."
The blue insect nest tentacles in the lower right corner, the circle is the location of the Tau tribe, and the shield on the lower left is the Eye of Damocles Deathwatch Fortress World
The wine glass on the table shook with a click. Jack took a deep breath and looked at Lin Heng, as if he wanted to make sure that he was not hallucinating.
"Is it a Tyranid fleet or... a Hive Tentacle?"
Lin Heng curled his lips, indicating that the other party should be the latter.
"Pack your bags and prepare to run away. Retreat to other home worlds as soon as possible. For a long time to come, the area around the Jericho star zone will be a living hell." Tarasim said silently.
"Fuck..." After a moment's silence, Jack poured another glass for them both, then raised his hand to signal, "Dun, dun, dun", to finish the bottle.
"Then there's probably no fun."
Jack really guessed what he said. After he finished speaking, the people who were monitoring Lin Heng came forward and began to politely drive others away, even the boss Jack was no exception.
So after the other party took Taraxin out and everyone left, there was a knock on the door.
“Dongdong..Dongdongdong…”
"Hello, may I come in? I am not carrying any weapons."
Lin Heng did not reply, but the other party slowly opened the door and stepped forward with his hand raised. Two small recording drones came in with him.
As Jack expected, the person who came in was indeed a member of the Tau tribe. He wore a bamboo hat and a gorgeous dress, made inexplicable gestures with his hands, and spoke in human language:
"I am the Fuyi.Pojiamen World, the Water Clan Ambassador.Boer.Heli (the names of the Titanium Clan are long and ugly, so I just picked two names with different meanings). I am very happy to communicate with you.
The home world of the T'au Empire, with the T'au Planet at the center. The battlefield set this time is located in the virtual home world next to the planet BORK'AN in the lower left corner.
As expected of an empire that can produce brave warriors, your language is also profound and meaningful. I hope that there are no mistakes in what I have expressed to avoid any misunderstandings. "
Lin Heng thought that they were indeed a clan in charge of diplomacy. Their art of speaking was fully demonstrated in just a few words, with praise and flattery. Most people who were proud of the empire would probably fall for it.
"You speak very clearly. I wonder if my Tau language is also standard."
Lin Heng was polite and answered in the Titanium language. The Water Clan ambassador's eyes sparkled with joy, his fingers flying and making some meaningful gestures.
"The Greatest Good protects our clan. It is an honor to meet someone as knowledgeable as you. I wonder if I can ask for your name."
"Lin Heng."
"Hmm...your name has a certain charm to ours. Ah...it is really the luck accumulated over thousands of years that I can meet you. I may say something that may make you despise me, but maybe our meeting is the fate arranged by the Greater Good."
"Oh, maybe they were one family five hundred years ago."
"Oh, yes! Yes! That's absolutely right!"
The Water Clan ambassador had probably never seen a human being who was so aware of the overall situation, and he nodded happily.
However, Lin Heng did not want to waste time on complimenting each other. He raised the glass with the second best wine and handed it to the Shui clan ambassador, saying:
"Let's not talk about anything else. Time is precious. Let's talk about cooperation after we drink it."
The Water Clan ambassador was stunned, and a surveillance officer stepped forward and whispered a few words to him. The ambassador then smiled again, happily took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Ahahahaha...you...huh...this...cough cough...wait...be good...kind! Cough cough cough!"
Five minutes later, a small transport plane arrived outside the tavern, and several guards helped Ambassador Shui, who spoke a little hoarsely, board the plane and leave.
Jack looked at Lin Heng who was leaving with him, nudged Taraxin beside him with his elbow and said:
"Is this guy so brave? He's going to follow them now. What if he gets dragged into an experiment?"
Trazyn stroked his chin, thought for a moment and said:
"Compared to the Dark Eldar, how scary are these fishermen's experiments? He has already visited all the major Blood Eldar gatherings. Dealing with the Tau is just like playing house."
Jack swallowed and shrank his neck, and his hair stood on end when he thought of how his superior was transformed on the spot by the Pain Engine. The more he thought about it, the more grateful he was to Trazyn for helping him, even if the other party made him a spy.
"By the way, you haven't told me how you met him."
Trazyn turned and left, saying, "I stole it from your previous master, and of course from a few bastards in the warp."
Jack let out a long sigh and thought to himself that he should not have asked.
...
The plane sped across the sky, and with a gradually weakening cough, Lin Heng stood on a large observation tower-like building that was like a castle in the sky.
It is like an oval birdcage in the sky, not a warm harbor but a cage that locks up their bodies and minds.
Fire Warriors in standard combat uniforms lined up to greet them. The ambassador extended his hand in welcome, and the two strode into the parliament hall.
At this time, there were already five people sitting around the round table, tall and short, fat and thin, the Fire, Air, and Earth clans were easy to identify, and the real leader, Ether, was also dressed in gorgeous clothes and solemnly.
But what really made Lin Heng feel a little threatened, and made him feel alert as if walking in the center of the jungle, was that creature that looked like a member of the tribe, the foreign relative called the Krut.
The Great Shaper is equivalent to the clan leader, responsible for selecting the direction of the Kroot clan's gene absorption.
There were clusters of spikes on its back, its scales glowed olive green, and its lower jaw protruded outward with an uneven shape that looked like a bird's beak with shearing power.
Lin Heng suddenly recalled the creature in the arena in a bar on El Star. He didn't expect that he would end up in the other party's hometown after going around in circles.
His dark pupils revealed a cunning look. Unlike the Titanium Clan, his body was huge and muscular, with obvious scratches on his four claws. He was obviously a good close combatant.
The other party looked exceptionally large just sitting on the chair. If he stood up and stretched out, it would probably be much larger than the Terminator armor in terms of height and width.
There were two rather sturdy unarmored guards standing next to Ether. Although the swords in their hands were shining coldly, they seemed rough and dull compared to the opponent's restrained hunter aura.
The most crucial thing is that Lin Heng sensed the scent of psychic energy from the other party, and the information showed that it was a Kroot creature named the Great Shaper.
Kroot has the ability to genetically evolve, and can evolve by devouring the flesh and blood of other creatures - Chaos creatures, Tyranids, and Tau do not eat
"Hello, distinguished guest, Ether Amine Lagon greets you." Amine Lagon stood up and bowed slightly.
"There are many misunderstandings between us, or to put it more bluntly, there are too many misunderstandings between the Titanium and humans.
We approach any species based on the principle of peaceful coexistence, but it may also be because the Empire has experienced too many hardships, so the impression of the Tau people still remains in the initial conflict.
If possible, we would rather become solid allies with humans than eternal enemies. "
Lin Heng thought, mutants like psychics and navigators who are very useful to the empire, their situation in the empire is unclear, not to mention that you are aliens from the border area, I'm afraid no one will want you even if you come here to work as a laborer.
Lin Heng still didn't want to waste time. No matter what the purpose of the Great Shaper with a cunning look in his eyes, the Fire Commander with a frown on his brows, the Ether with a smile on his face but a shrinking mouth, or other various clan leaders was, he just wanted to find out whether it was a big fuss or a secret operation.
"You'd better face the reality first, and then we can discuss the next steps."
As Lin Heng spoke, he began to circulate his spiritual energy. Under the flow of energy that was invisible to the naked eye, the big shaper of the Krut tribe narrowed his eyes slightly and his back rustled.
Commander Huo seemed to realize something and quickly stood up but didn't know what to do.
When the air suddenly turned cold and a thin layer of frost formed on the round table, and someone seemed to whisper in their ears, the other Titanium tribe members finally reacted.
Thinking about what they had been discussing privately, this situation was probably a form of power that they could not understand.
"blockade!"
Then the Tu clan craftsman shouted, and the starry sky dome seemed to become dimmer. Lin Heng suddenly felt that his spiritual energy was scarce and cut off, as if he had encountered an untouchable. The star map that had just risen disappeared instantly.
Lin Heng was quite surprised. He thought to himself that no wonder these Titans dared to stay in the same room with him. It turned out that they mastered the technology to control negative psychic energy.
However, this negative psychic energy can affect both friend and foe. Although the negative psychic energy does not have a significant impact on the Titanium people whose psychic energy is weak, they have to increase their energy output if they want to suppress Lin Heng.
"Take...him!" Commander Fire shouted to the honor guards around Ether.
"No! Master... please turn off the blocking system."
"Ether...Mentor?" the craftsman said with difficulty.
"Listen to me, the Great Shaper...didn't act right away, and just now...I also saw a scene that interested me."
The Great Shaper nodded repeatedly, and after the Tau leaders looked at each other, the Earthsmith closed the blockade facility, and everyone trembled, including the Ether.
Lin Heng's performance here was relatively good. He was not as terrible as the first time he met the Untouchables. His strong physical fitness ensured that he did not show too much weakness.
However, Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, his intuition told him that there seemed to be something wrong just now, the other party's speech seemed to be too coherent...
And where did they get this technology? Lin Heng thought that he had to add another piece of information to the information he needed to obtain in his plan.
"kakasa..agffdss (It's okay if you don't understand, I just hit him randomly)... He didn't intend to attack, otherwise his head would have been in my mouth..."
Lin Heng grinned at the big shaper who seemed to be trying to save face. The scene fell into silence. Finally, it was A. Lagon who spoke:
"Please forgive our actions, but please be careful not to act suddenly. If we can reach a cooperation, we can even send a ship to escort you back to the empire's territory."
Lin Heng liked to hear this and asked the other party to continue speaking.
"We have only one goal, which is to study the power you have released. As long as we cooperate happily, we can cede any item you want as long as it can be provided by the Titanium Clan, even if it is a planet."
"Ether Mentor!"
All the clans spoke in unison, but An. Lagong waved his hand to let him finish.
"But I hope you can also think carefully. The Tau do not accept deception. We would rather be friends than enemies."
Lin Heng looked at the changing expressions of the crowd and thought to himself that it was indeed a small border country. They were so serious about giving away a planet. The Empire could have bought it casually if they had the money. It was really something not presentable.
After taking a long breath, Lin Heng nodded and said:
"Then finish the previous things first and let you see the real gap."
This time, the psychic energy did not rise slowly, but surged out violently. The howling cold wind filled the conference hall, and the whispers of ghosts and monsters began to howl out, until tens of thousands of planets burst into starlight, and the silence of the universe descended on the parliament hall.
The dark light of the starry sky dome echoed with the orange-yellow light of the psychic star map. When millions of dazzling planets were spinning, gushing, and floating in the air, even the ether showed a swift look.
The rising and falling sea of stars was reflected in everyone's eyes. Even the Titans who preferred dim environments now opened their eyes wide and continued to appreciate such a wonderful three-dimensional star map.
"So...so beautiful."
"The dream of the Titanium people..."
