Warhammer 40: Saviors Emerging from the Bottom
Chapter 75 Let's Arrange a Marriage, Governor
After much persuasion and subtle hints from Xiao Yi, the current chapter leader of the Blackfire Chapter, Karan Forgefire, finally agreed to the proposal to rebuild the chapter.
Traditionally, boys aged 10 to 15 are eligible to participate in the selection.
They will be randomly assigned to teams of three, and the team that can cooperate closely and enter the wasteland without equipment to kill the Tyrannosaurus will be qualified to join the warband.
Since there are no Tyrannosaurus Rex on Bakta, the selection criteria need to be changed.
As for the specifics of how to do it, that's something the warband leader needs to consider.
The tribal chief and the mine owner left the throne room in an eerie atmosphere.
Shortly after, a middle-aged man dressed in a way that stood out from his surroundings walked in, led by a waiter.
He is the main character today.
"The High Lord of Cinda sends his greetings, Your Excellency Governor of Bakda."
The cold tone conveyed no respect whatsoever.
Several hot-blooded guards instantly flew into a rage and prepared to rush up and beat the arrogant guy up so that he would realize the situation before him.
But the other party seemed to have anticipated this, and his calm voice rang softly in everyone's ears: "Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Liu Lie, and like Lord Liu Yi, I possess the noble bloodline originating from the royal family of Ancient Terra."
"Since the Emperor's glory shone upon this star field, our family has ruled this region. If it weren't for the appearance of a traitor, we would still be the masters here."
"Even though our family has fallen on hard times, not just anyone has the right to lay a hand on us. Anyone who tries to offend us will be punished in the most brutal way, and no one will be an exception."
As he spoke, the envoy named Liu Lie glanced out of the corner of his eye at the guards who were already preparing to take action.
A threat, a blatant threat.
But this was of no use to Xiao Yi.
Although his body has been transformed into a powerful weapon created by human scientists, he still perceives himself as the unlucky guy who, upon opening his eyes, transmigrated tens of thousands of years into the future.
The local who had lived in Holy Terra for over twenty years was far superior to this self-proclaimed nobleman in front of him.
Like I said before, I used to own an apartment in Terra. Do you?
Seeing that the man on the throne did not react in the way she had expected, she realized that the man on the throne had not made any extreme reaction.
Liu Lie's opinion of this mysterious guy rose even higher.
It is impossible for Aurora to forcibly occupy Bakda without the consent of other imperial world governors.
This would break agreements between several worlds, making them a target of public criticism.
Therefore, Xiao Yi had absolutely no reason to be afraid.
The former governor was so weak largely due to his personality.
His concessions, however, strengthened Liu Yi's resolve to annex Baghdad and rebuild its former glory.
However, his plan encountered a minor obstacle.
A short conversation recorded in Salona's diary reveals that things haven't been peaceful in China lately.
The unusually high military spending indicates that an exceptionally fierce battle is taking place somewhere hidden in China.
Why does the Governor's wife's diary contain information about the neighboring Empire?
Of course, it was the local Slaanesh believers in Cinta that told her.
There is also a Slaanesh sect in China, but compared to the Bhaktapur sect, which has infiltrated the ruling elite, their strength is much weaker.
The Slaanesh cult of Cintaram made many efforts to spread the glory of the Prince of Pleasure throughout their empire.
One of these efforts was to try to contact the Slaanesh cult in other imperial worlds and seek their support and assistance.
The nearest Seneca sect in Bhaktapur became their primary target for contact. During the exchange, the sect intentionally or unintentionally revealed some basic information about Aurora.
They wanted to lure Salona into increasing her investment by showing her the enemy's weaknesses. If she sacrificed these two planets to Slaanesh, she would have a chance to become a demon prince.
Unfortunately, before Salona could decide whether to help these fellow demons, she was tricked by the Slaanesh who had taken over Korra's body and accepted a power that her body could not withstand, turning her into a fleshy ball that only knew how to kill and destroy.
Xiao Yi leaned back against the hard back of the throne, looking down at Liu Lie with a superior air, and said:
"I heard that Lord Liu Yi has encountered a little trouble. Is there anything we can do to help?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Lie's body trembled almost imperceptibly.
"This is nothing but a baseless rumor."
Directly denying the issue was not feasible, as it would only further confirm the other party's suspicions. Therefore, Liu Lie chose to change the subject, diverting Xiao Yi's attention elsewhere.
After a series of pointless probing questions, Liu Lie casually remarked, "The position of Lord of Bakda is not easy to hold, especially for those of humble origins. To secure it, one must gain the support of other families."
This statement subtly implies a desire for cooperation.
Xiao Yi couldn't understand what kind of situation would make Liu Yi lower himself to stand on equal footing with a guy of unknown origin and have a conversation with him.
But this is a rare opportunity, and he really needs an ally to help him stabilize the trend in the early stages.
This spot was originally meant to be used to cast General Kalisker. With just one or two STC templates, the tech enthusiasts of the Cult of Machines could have acted as henchmen. No matter how you look at it, this deal would have been a win-win.
However, this substantial profit comes with unpredictable risks. Xiao Yi was unsure whether Atlas Magnus's oil enthusiasts would lose their composure and make a move in the face of their coveted STC.
Unlike Aurora, Atlas Magnus didn't care about the opinions of other imperial worlds. The Mechanicus Red Robes, with its complete weapons production line and ample military force, was not afraid of a full-scale war.
For them, sacrificing their lives to reclaim STC was an honor.
Now that someone has taken the initiative to request cooperation, Xiao Yi naturally has new ideas. However, he must figure out exactly what the other party wants before he can decide whether to change his partner.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Yi said calmly, "That's true, but I doubt anyone would want to cooperate with someone of unknown origin, right?"
Seeing that Xiao Yi was interested, Liu Lie immediately asked, "Why not?"
However, he soon realized that he had lost his composure, and in order to cover up his excitement, they took the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.
He coughed lightly and resumed his usual arrogant demeanor.
"Lord Liu Yi greatly admires someone like you, and he also has a daughter who is about your age. If the two families can reach an agreement, there will be nothing that can threaten the two planets."
Xiao Yi, who was pondering how to deal with the other party's demanding requirements, was stunned for a moment after hearing these words.
If he understood correctly, it seemed that the other party was planning to arrange a marriage with him.
