Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom

After the meeting ended, everyone left, except for Xiao Yi, who was left behind.

Faced with this man who single-handedly changed the entire course of the war, even the usually arrogant Supreme Lord of Zhen Dan had to become humble.

"I'm a few years older than you, so it's not a problem for me to call you Brother Xiao Yi, is it?"

Seeing Liu Yi's obsequious expression, Xiao Yi instinctively became wary, but his expression didn't change, and he still wore a polite smile.

"sure."

Liu Yi, who looks only forty years old, is actually over seventy. According to this calculation, Xiao Yi has actually made quite a bit of money.

The Empire's life-extending technology is far more reliable than imagined; ordinary people can easily live for several decades longer.

Of course, this is on the premise that there isn't too much work; otherwise, you'll end up like the High Lord of Terra, burying yourself in endless documents every day and working yourself to death.

The adjutant poured them both a cup of tea and then tactfully left. Liu Yi looked at the steaming teacups on the table and tentatively asked, "In that case, what are your plans next, Brother Xiao Yi?"

"Take out the greenskins occupying the starport, blow up the combat moon, and then go home."

This was clearly not the answer the High Lord of Cinda wanted.

Behind every single thing Xiao Yi said lies a huge amount of room for maneuver. As long as he seizes these opportunities, he can continue to expand his influence and make Bakda even stronger.

Liu Yi wants to participate and share in the profits, but what price he will have to pay for it depends on what Xiao Yi wants.

As long as it's not the spot under his butt, everything is fine.

Making his request directly seemed inappropriate, so Liu Yi changed his perspective.

"I heard you don't have any children yet?"

Hmm? Why did we suddenly switch to this topic?

Although somewhat doubtful, Xiao Yi answered truthfully, "That's right."

"For a family, having no offspring means having no future, so it's better to get married as soon as possible."

No matter how I transmigrated to the world of Warhammer 40, I couldn't escape the fate of being pressured to get married.

Xiao Yi was speechless for a moment, but he could roughly guess what the other party meant.

Just as he had predicted, Liu Yi brought up the matter of marriage again.

Even before the war began, he had carefully considered that a marriage alliance could give Bakhda an additional ally, thereby creating a stable environment for development.

But given the current situation, he no longer needs it. With his prestige and cooperation with the Mechanicus, he can ensure the stable development of Bakda for a period of time.

Therefore, Xiao Yi declined the request in a rather tactful manner.

But the Supreme Lord of Zhen Dan seemed not to understand and continued to explain the benefits of the marriage alliance to him.

Having exhausted all other options, Liu Yi had no choice but to unleash his ultimate move.

"None of my sons are capable of governing China, and I wonder what will become of this place after I die?"

This statement implies to Xiao Yi that if he agrees to the marriage alliance, the position of Supreme Lord of Zhen Dan in the future may very well be his.

However, like Schrödinger's cat, no one knows whether he will ultimately fulfill this promise.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yi would definitely refuse, but Liu Yi's hint gave him a wake-up call.

Perhaps he could expand his territory in a more moderate way.

Whether Liu Yi and his successor truly agree to this is actually not important.

As I said before, ability is the most important thing.

Xiao Yi only needed to give the nobles of Zhen Dan a way out so that they could surrender with a clear conscience.

After chatting for a while, the two finally reached an agreement: Liu Yi would send one of his granddaughters to marry Xiao Yi in order to gain his support.

The two, who had previously addressed each other as brothers, instantly became a grandfather and grandson-in-law duo.

Neither of them paid attention to the change in seniority. After a brief chat, Xiao Yi left with Charles.

Halfway there, Charles, looking conflicted, asked in a low voice, "Are you getting married?"

"This isn't a marriage; it's a political marriage."

"What's the difference between the two?"

"The difference is that political marriages don't require love. Even if the other party is really a pig, I still have to bite the bullet and go for it."

"Is she the daughter of the Governor-General of Aurora?"

"No, it's his granddaughter."

Why are you talking so much today?

Xiao Yi stopped in his tracks.

Lost in his gossip, Charles didn't notice the obstacle in front of him and crashed into it.

"Hiss, why did it suddenly stop?"

"I suddenly remembered something."

Xiao Yi sighed and continued forward.

To be honest, he wasn't sure if his decision was right, and could only pray that the girl he was to marry wouldn't really look like a pig.

Probably not.

In the following period, the imperial army, as arranged before the meeting, began to launch continuous attacks to reclaim lost territory.

With the coordinated efforts of various armies, the scattered greenskin tribes were driven back in defeat.

In just 10 days, the Imperial Army recovered the orbital defense device at the starport.

However, due to the damage caused by the green skin, they are temporarily unable to start.

According to the estimates of the sages of the Mechanic Church accompanying the army, it would take at least several Terran months to fully repair it.

In other words, apart from the core parts which are still usable, the rest of the metal has been completely turned into a pile of scrap metal.

The Greenskins, still stationed on the starport, gradually realized the danger. In order to fight against the Imperial forces that were stronger than themselves, they united and launched the largest attack since Hograk's death.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain. Without the support of heavy weapons, these howling green-skinned combat lads quickly broke down.

After clearing out the Greenskins hiding in the corners of the Starport, the Imperial forces will now prepare to attack the Greenskins' stronghold, the Battle Moon that floats not far from the Starport.

Taking it down will not be an easy task.

Whether it's artillery the size of a crater or gravity devices capable of capturing transport ships, they would inflict considerable losses on the attacking forces.

The most effective method would actually be to use long-range explosives to blast the Greenskins' Battle Moons to ashes, but the Imperial army doesn't have weapons powerful enough to do that.

On the joint advice of Victor and Friedrich, everyone agreed to send an assault fleet to deal with the weapons of mass destruction on the battle moon that posed a threat to the starport.

After completing this task, the rest of the time is spent waiting.

They await the arrival of the weapons of mass destruction manufactured by Atlas Magnus in Aurora, so that these vile aliens can be wiped out in one fell swoop.
