Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 93 Mission
“They want to come and see”

In the church, Zhou Qin looked at Chen Jian opposite him in fear and continued:
"I have tried my best to explain to them what happened here, but the Holy Father did not directly agree to my request."

"Similarly, the Mechanicus also expressed doubts about my statement."

"He thought I was just exaggerating to get more aid."

"My Lord Chosen One, please believe me. I have tried my best."

"The Adeptus Mechanicus wanted to send a second brigade of Templar Guards, but I talked them out of it."

"I dissuaded them from their foolish actions and stopped them from further provocations."

“So, in the end, they agreed to send a small observation team of no more than 30 people together with the Basilica of the Holy Blood.”

"Or you could say it's a visiting delegation."

"I know this visit is a bit presumptuous, but I also hope that you can be broad-minded and tolerate the ignorance of the world."

"Can we maintain the peaceful status quo at least until the arrival of the diplomatic mission, which is the fourth day from today?"

"If you agree, I can return to Hanshui City without any worries and bring this good news to the civilians there."

After Zhou Qin finished speaking, Chen Jian frowned slightly and nodded.

In fact, he had already guessed this result.

After all, people cannot imagine things beyond their own cognition. No matter how horrific Zhou Qin described the situation here, no matter how abruptly a large army disappeared, in the eyes of those ignorant superiors, this was just an excuse after a great defeat.

Especially for organizations under theocracy, isn't it very common for them to make up excuses like "divine punishment" when they lose a battle?
Maybe they had used this excuse in previous battles.

And now, it's just the story of the boy who cried wolf being repeated.

It's normal for them to come, it would be weird if they didn't come.

However, Chen Jian was very skeptical about how credible Zhou Qin's statement that he had "convinced the Mechanicus" was.

Will they send the Guards Brigade again?

Chen Jian really hopes they will come.

Because he was really envious of the towed howitzer mounted on the big ship.

As long as they dare to sail here, Chen Jian will dare to use up the last few mortar shells, the last dozen rocket launchers, and the last 20 recoilless guns to directly sink their ships and then seize all those artillery!
Thinking of this, Chen Jian asked:
"You said that the Adeptus Mechanicus has decided not to send out the Guards Brigade. How credible do you think that is?"

"Are they just trying to fool you, or are they really convinced by you?"

Hearing this question, Zhou Qin was silent at first, then shook his head firmly and said:
"Even if they are not convinced now, they will be convinced when more information reaches the Mechanicus Templar."

"Lord Chosen One, we also know that because of your mercy, the Mechanicus Crusaders in the direction of Xianning were not completely destroyed."

"They will also try their best to pass the message to the Holy Church. Their persuasiveness may be stronger than mine."

"That's a shame."

Chen Jian sighed in disappointment.

Zhou Qin's heart suddenly twitched, and he realized what Chen Jian meant by this sentence.

Yes, how can it not be a pity?
If the Mechanicus really sent another Guard Brigade, the man in front of him would definitely use brutal means to completely destroy them once again.

Doing so will not only further consolidate the power of Yellowstone City, but will also greatly weaken the power of the Mechanicus.

If you put yourself in their shoes, and think about it, if you have the other person's strength and are in their position, you will probably do something more ruthless than them.
But fortunately, at least the other party has shown kindness.

As long as we don't continue to provoke them, they will probably also hope for peace.
So Zhou Qin asked expectantly:
"Lord Chosen One, can I assume that we have reached a temporary peace agreement?"

"If so, I can now bring this exciting news back to Hanshui City, and start preparing the compensation to be sent to Huangshi City, as well as the gifts that represent our sincerity."

"can."

Chen Jian gestured to Zeng Yi who was standing beside him, and the latter stepped forward and untied Zhou Qin and the other man.

They did not try to resist because two 201 light machine guns were pointed directly at their heads.

Then, Xie Liu, who had been waiting for a long time, took out two pills and fed them to Zhou Qin and the others. "These are two slow-release pills. They will not have any effect on you within 72 hours."

"But if you don't return within 72 hours as agreed"

"Then I can't guarantee your safety."

"Because the dosage of these two bottles of potion is enough to kill a huge monster."

"I see!"

Zhou Qin swallowed the medicine obediently. He knew he had no other choice.

In the face of the endless tricks of these chosen ones, he felt like a three-year-old child.

He couldn't think of any way to fight them except to obey.

The restraints were finally released and Zhou Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

72 hour
At least I lived 72 more hours.

You know, when he saw the remains of the explosion in Yuqingzhou, he actually came to negotiate with the belief that he would die.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qin even showed a smile on his face.

He looked at Chen Jian again, thanked Chen Jian for his kindness in a repetitive manner, and then walked towards the lakeside under the "escort" of everyone.

"We have a boat ready for you."

Chen Jian pointed to the sampan on the shore and continued:

"At least this time, the attitude you showed is what we wanted to see."

"So, you don't have to swim back."

“Thank you for your tolerance!”

Zhou Qin wanted to raise his hand to perform the Holy Blood Ceremony to Chen Jian, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he just bowed deeply and stepped onto the sampan on the shore.

The people on the shore watched him go away, and only when they reached the other side did they finally lower their guns.

Xie Liu looked thoughtfully at Zhou Qin and the others disappearing into the jungle, and asked Chen Jian:
“What if the drugs in their system kick in prematurely?”

"If they die, it doesn't seem to be a big problem, but it will still be a bit troublesome, right?"

"it does not matter."

Chen Jian smiled and replied:
"All they took was a vitamin C pill."

"In fact, even if they don't come back, they won't die."

"But I can guarantee that they dare not."

"Because what can kill them is never a tablet of poison."

"but"

Chen Jian raised the 191 in his hand and continued:
"this."

"understood."

Xie Liu was convinced and stopped asking questions.

Chen Jian raised his hand and ordered everyone to return to the city.

After everyone left, he found Lei Jie and said:
"Take advantage of this opportunity to go to Fortification 7025 again and bring over the things we need."

"We won the victory, and the city of Yellowstone should have a celebration party."

"But at this celebration banquet, I want the people here to see something different."

"The information left by the National Library should be relatively complete. Go look for it and bring it back."
