Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

When a logistics machine holding a drink was brought back, He Chou pushed the door open again.

He was ready to shout to everyone who wanted a drink to come and get it. Then he wanted to tell the colleague that he would take the remaining credits and use them as errand fees.

But this time there was an unexpected situation that made He Chou swallow the words in his throat.

"We must set off immediately to the galaxy that will be included in the new Talon Gate defense zone. That galaxy is called Elendor."

"You've definitely never heard of it, but that's okay, you just need to know what's there."

He Chou didn't listen to a word of what he said after that, because he discovered that the person who spoke turned out to be a guard.

The guards don't appear often, but every time they appear, it means that an important order has been directly bypassed the normal process and issued to the department in the sector that is already good at handling such orders.

The Admiralty has visited the Imperial Guard twice, but how could the Diplomatic Team, a department that is parasitic on the Navy, have the Imperial Guard come?

He Chou thought in confusion.

It wasn't until the imperial guard turned into a stream of light and disappeared that He Chou realized that it turned out to be a holographic image.

"Is everything clear?" The boss, who was obviously the team leader but insisted on letting his subordinates call him team leader, shouted loudly.

"What?" He Chou was confused.

"Listen clearly!" colleagues responded loudly.

The team leader waved his hand: "Immediately respond to the order and take the ship to Allendo No. 3 in a short while. Don't bring any personal belongings. When you get to the ship, you will have to pay for food and drink with the Navy's money!"

"yes!"

He Chou heard his colleagues respond again, and then everyone packed up their things happily.

"Great, we finally have something to do!"

"Does anyone care that we get subsidies and bonuses when we come back from this very accidental business trip?"

"Three cruiser formations and one battleship formation, they will escort us to Elendo IV...ah...long face!"

"The tide has turned, guys."

"Wait... doesn't anyone care about bonuses? I see that the crew of the Eye of Terror's transport ship have subsidies and bonuses."

"..."

"What subsidies and bonuses!"

An angry roar from the team leader made the diplomatic team's office instantly quiet.

"This is our first job, and it is an order conveyed by the projection of the Praetorian Guard in person, and the Praetorian Guard represents the sector lord."

The team leader said, pacing in front of each subordinate, looking at the first group of young people who had just formed the department.

Then the battle-hardened retired warrior stopped, crossed his legs together, and faced the sector logo on the wall: "For the six hundred worlds of Tyrone! For the Lord of Tyrone!"

"For Lord Tailong!" Everyone stood at attention and saluted, responding loudly.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Until He Chou couldn't wait to speak: "So, should we continue to talk here, or should we really do something practical for the Lord of Tailong?"

The team leader looked back at He Chou and nodded: "Hurry up, I can't wait any longer."

The diplomatic team lined up and walked out of the small dark room.

They will be teleported directly to the Tyrone star port on the navy's dedicated teleportation platform, then board the battleships in the naval fleet that has assembled there, and then head to the star system called Elendo.

It's a journey.

Before boarding the ship, many people, including He Chou, were so excited about doing serious work for the first time that they forgot to explain it to their families, causing their families to think that their small department was parasitic in the Navy Department and had nothing to do every day.

…

After a while.

Battleship Autumn Wind, bridge.

The sound of the gate opening sounded.

The captain of the new battleship turned around and looked around, seeing the neatly dressed diplomats standing at attention.

"For Tyrone."

"For Tyrone."

The captain and the leader of the diplomatic team greeted each other.

The other naval officers in the bridge stood aside, just like He Chou and the others stood beside their team leader.

Originally, this was just listening to the two bosses chatting for a few words, talking a little bit, and then everyone went about whatever they wanted to do together.

Or if the navy captain is a hothead, he will now tell everyone where to go and what to do next.

But what He Chou didn't expect was that the person standing behind the captain of the battleship Qiu Feng, and the one closest to the captain, turned out to be the bastard who lost to him that morning.

The other party also saw He Chou, but said nothing.

"Vice Captain, let the fleet set sail."

"Yes, Captain."

He Chou saw that the people who had met him in the morning left to organize the fleet to set sail, while the captain stayed to tell everyone what happened.

This time, He Chou was not distracted at all.

"The Elendo system is the target system for Tyron's Gate expansion."

The captain raised his hand, and a holographic image was generated out of thin air on the bridge, directly showing a diagram of the entire star area.

"Everyone knows from the fight that Tyrone's Gate is an ever-expanding defensive circle."

"In the Ellendo galaxy, we were obstructed by an unknown alien civilization. Some scientific advisors who were inspecting the colony base in the Ellendo galaxy, and an entire colony ship, all lost contact with us."

Hearing this, the team leader shouted loudly: "In that case, why not attack directly?"

"If we attack directly, will the Navy Department still apply for you to come?" The captain smiled awkwardly, "If it is clear that those captured died, then there will be a punishment waiting for this alien civilization, even if the star area is now We are engaged in a large-scale expedition, but we cannot sit idly by.”

"But nearly 100 million people in an entire colony ship have just lost contact. There are some signs that they are still alive, and what we have to do is to ensure that they must be alive while they are alive."

After the captain finished speaking, everyone was silent and thinking.

At this time, everyone complained in their hearts: Colonial ships can really run away.

Colonial ships are like children, and patrol fleets are like adults. You have to keep an eye on them from beginning to end, otherwise you won’t know where they are going if you don’t pay attention.

"Um..." He Chou saw a timid female colleague raise her hand, "What do you mean, do you mean that in extreme circumstances, we can... decide whether those people are alive or dead?"

"No. What I mean is that we must ensure that they are alive. No matter what, they have to be alive." The captain shook his head. "I don't want to report to Lord Tyron that when he went out to lead the coalition forces to fight against the Primarchs, the Star There are a hundred million fucking young pioneers in the area who went out to colonize and died at the hands of the damn aliens."

While they were talking, the fleet had already begun to set sail.

The huge star gate in the galaxy has been opened.

The fleet revolved around the sword edge of the giant statue of Lord Tyron in the system and gradually entered the star gate.

"What's the name of that alien civilization?" He Chou asked.

The Autumn Wind crossed the star gate, and after a wave of waves penetrated everyone's body, the front half of the battleship arrived in a galaxy.

People in the bridge could see through the portholes their own fleet confronting the alien civilization fleet outside.

"titanium."

"They are called Tau, an alien civilization with a caste system."

The captain looked out the window at the many warships whose design styles were not very different from those of the Tyrone Navy.

"Caste system civilization?" He Chou frowned slightly, "It sounds a little easier to get along with than alien civilizations such as the green-skinned undead and the Eldar. Of course, it is also better than the emperor... What should we do next?"

"You just wanted to talk about the empire, right?" the captain asked with a smile, and then said: "I will not interfere with what you do next."

He Chou's expression became weird, and he wanted to say: You'd better interfere.

At this time, others still didn't know what was happening until the team leader shouted: "Contact those bastards first and let them come to our ship to negotiate."

"I suggest that we or they provide an unarmed ship for negotiation." He Chou suggested in a low voice.

"Why don't you propose to negotiate on their battleship?" The team leader loudly pointed at his feet, "Let's negotiate on this battleship!"
