Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

The transport plane slowly landed on the battleship's apron. It was towed, so it stopped very safely.

Then the hatch opened.

A blue-skinned, gorgeously dressed alien slowly walked out of the transport plane.

Following him was an entourage wearing the battle uniform of the Titanium Civilization and Fire Clan.

This follower has no weapons, which is okay. The key is that he is a male human.

Apart from this male human attendant, the Tau brought nothing, not even a servant to serve him.

The two people got off the transport plane in a big and square manner, and then the anti-jump gang in the battleship stepped forward and made way for them.

At this time, He Chou, who was sent by the team leader to greet the alien diplomats because of his objections, was standing here.

"Hello." He Chou greeted.

He had done his homework before coming here and knew that the Tau people were a caste system civilization with strict divisions into clans. Similar to the Fire Caste as warriors, there was also a clan responsible for diplomacy.

The Tau people in front of them were obviously the Water clan responsible for diplomacy.

As for the humans around him...

The recent information that the Tau took the initiative to communicate with the Tyron Navy did not explain the origin of these humans.

But the Empire has had interactions with the Tau for a long time.

Based on the information quickly coordinated by the Ultramar people in a short period of time, He Chou was able to learn the identity of this human being.

Govisa.

The name given to humans who have taken refuge in the Tau civilization.

They were fairly decent, not captive slaves, at least not in terms of treatment.

Govisa could even use the equipment of the Tau, eat the food of the Tau, and at the same time believe in the Emperor of Mankind.

He seemed friendly, but He Chou thought there were things and reasons that others could not detect, but he was not here to deal with Gou Weisa.

"Ambassador Roushui pays tribute to you and every one of your compatriots present."

The Shui clan member bowed to He Chou and said something, and then Gou Weisa beside him helped translate to He Chou.

"I also pay my respects to him. Please tell me." He Chou bowed slightly and said, "Please go this way."

Just seeing this scene through the surveillance system, the leader of the diplomatic team on the bridge became extremely angry and regretted throwing He Chou to receive the alien.

The Water Clan ambassador saluted decently in the human way, and then followed He Chou and others to the large conference room of the battleship.

The two of them were talking and laughing along the way.

"Please help me ask the ambassador why the Tau are detaining my compatriots?"

"The ambassador said that the Tau have never detained your compatriots, but the Tau's fleet was just preparing to open up a colony. After establishing the colony, another colonial ship came here. After some verbal conflicts broke out between the two sides, the Fire Caste The general has decided to let your compatriots have a good rest in a safe environment."

"So please tell me, when can we pick up our compatriots?"

"The ambassador said that if you could have come earlier, your compatriots would have returned to you long ago. Haha, I hope they will be satisfied with the meals specially designed for humans during the extra days they stay. The hospitality is not good."

While talking to each other, He Chou entered the conference room with the ambassador of the Shui Clan.

The two were still talking while waiting for the others to arrive.

"I don't think the detention is a treat. I think my compatriots were detained just because they were slightly inferior to the Tau in terms of force at that time." He Chou said calmly, "If they were bullied , including but not limited to beatings, abuse, involuntary sexual transformation... I can only say that we are a branch of humanity established and existing due to unity. You and the Empire have been in contact for a long time. You know that humans are angry and vigilant. What will be done.”

The Water Clan ambassador nodded, smiled slightly, and said something.

Then Gou Weisa on the side helped the ambassador explain to He Chou how the Tau arranged those human guests.

On the planet's Tau colony, 100 million humans were arranged in batches into rapidly established residential areas.

There are one thousand people in each residential area. Each group of humans is assigned a Water Caste person responsible for liaison and a Fire Caste warrior deputy. If these thousand people have any problems or needs, the Water Caste will help them solve them. If If a conflict breaks out between them, the Fire Caste will use the gentlest possible method to resolve the dispute between the two humans.

"That's how humans are."

"Human beings are at odds with each other, hate each other, and hate each other."

"We really don't have the same ability to unite and empathize as the Tau do."

Govisa smiled and spoke in an understatement.

"To be honest, I think we humans are more like Zerg. Although everyone has self-awareness, they just like to blindly follow the herd."

“It’s easy for us to be immersed in the illusion spun by a tyrant and endure things we shouldn’t have to endure.”

These words spoken by Gou Weisa reached He Chou's ears.

The smile on the latter's face disappeared and he asked coldly: "Is this what the ambassador wanted to say, or what you wanted to say?"

"Just talking to myself, hahahaha." Govisa smiled and shook his head. Then he was scolded by the ambassador and shut up.

Then the ambassador used Govisa's mouth to say a lot of lively words, praising the power of Tailong's naval fleet and expressing his good impressions.

There are crazy hints in the words that He Chou originally had a escort but didn't bring it with him, so he brought one of your compatriots to your ship to talk to you. Is this very sincere?

In addition, there are various talks about sending captured humans out, and even saying that not to mention that any of these humans died unnaturally, even if there is one who is sick, he can be held accountable.

He Chou, who was waiting for his colleagues and team leader to arrive, agreed.

He had a feeling.

At this moment, I feel like I am studying the process of contact and diplomacy between two different human forces in ancient human history in school.

He couldn't believe that one day he would be able to sit down and talk with those alien civilizations and solve problems through communication and communication.

This is an ability that almost every race in the galaxy lacks today.

This is not a matter of intelligence.

The Eldar have high enough intelligence, but they are too proud and look at humans like beasts. How can they sit down and have a good talk?

Even the Empire and the Death Army are not too concerned.

However, He Chou was not blinded by the friendliness of the Water Clan ambassador. He always had the feeling that what the Tau Clan showed was not exactly the same as what it actually was.

Even He Chou himself couldn't tell where this feeling came from. He just had a vague feeling.

It's just that searching for the truth is not what the diplomatic team has to do now. It's just that a new department with a group standard is not qualified for this.

To get the prisoners out, it would be best to capture the colony as well, allowing Talon's Gate to seize this galaxy without starting a war.
