Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

Dante and Sanguinius thought that this conversation would continue for a while, but the place where they stood kept moving away from Szarak's throne, until they returned to the command deck of the flagship.

At this time, the hole in the porthole disappeared, and the people on the entire command deck were no longer stationary and began to move normally.

"It's really a technology like witchcraft." Dante sighed.

Sanguinius had already sighed, after meeting Szarak for the first time.

However, Dante did not immediately do what he should do. Instead, he asked the Father of Genes in the communication channel: "The agreement you made with the Lord of Silence ten thousand years ago..."

Dante did not dare to question Sanguinius, but he hoped to get an answer, even if it was false.

Ever since he met Szarak during the Battle of Baal, he had been filled with such questions.

"You are too young, otherwise you would have known," Sanguinius said.

Dante admits that he is only about a thousand years old and did not start following the Gene Father ten thousand years ago.

"The agreement is cooperation." Sanguinius said bluntly, "The Lord of Silence once talked about mankind's responsibilities in the galaxy. Although what it said sounded like it was using mankind as a shield, it did make some sense... This That’s why you met Szarak on the eve of the Battle of Baal and heard from the Grand Justice: Continue the agreement with the Blood Angel Gene Ancestor.”

"You made an agreement with these aliens..." Dante asked nervously, "Did they coerce you?"

"No." Sanguinius shook his head, "They helped me. This is why ten thousand years ago I arrived on Terra in time to appear in the duel between the Emperor and Horus, they helped me."

Dante nodded thoughtfully.

"Do what you must and clean up the aftermath of the war on the ground," Sanguinius said. "Our crusade is over."

…

Main fleet.

The flagship of the Glory Humanity.

In one of the hundreds of conference rooms on the battleship, Guilliman was in a dark room. In front of him were all the high ministers in the Council of the High Lords of Terra.

However, these high ministers did not come to the flagship in person, but used the technology of the Tyrone people to appear in the form of projections and participate in the meeting.

Except for the Imperial Regent and the Supreme Minister, there was no one else in the room.

Calgar, the only one who followed Guilliman to attend the meeting, was currently guarding the door of the conference room.

"The Tyrone influence around the Eye of Terror must end. This is an issue we have been discussing recently."

A supreme minister kept talking about the recent events in the parliament.

"Whether it's an economic impact, a military impact, or something else."

"We have a small opinion about the tax reduction you mentioned before, Regent, that is, we should continue to collect taxes according to the current tax collection standards until the Golden Expedition is completely over and the influence of the Tyrone people has dissipated. It can ensure that the economic value that a planet should not have is captured by the empire and invested in more important places.”

"After the Eye of Terror is closed, the Tyrones must station engineering troops on the grounds of maintaining many black stone structures. We think this is no problem and difficult to refuse. It is also a way for the Tyrones to completely cancel the Eye of Terror. Balancing and Compensating for Peripheral Influences.”

When the High Lord reported this, Guilliman thought about it and thought that this idea was correct.

He also felt that the Tyrone Sector should reduce its impact on the Eye of Terror. They not only invested in areas surrounding the Eye of Terror such as the Belis Corona Sector and Scarus Sector, but also intervened in those areas. management, because they want to ensure that their investments in those territories are not plundered by local chaos or unreasonable governors.

If the impact is not reduced, conflicts will inevitably intensify.

The expansion of the Tyrone sector has stagnated due to the decrease in surrounding unowned worlds. The empire has classified many worlds around Tyrone into the expansion zone to meet their expansion needs. They also gained through investment and various means during the Golden Expedition. For the sake of economic interests, if they still reach out to the surrounding areas of the Eye of Terror, then the contradictions that have existed since the establishment of Talon until now will be intensified.

When it comes to matters between the Empire and Tyrone, Guilliman's position is not that of Guilliman, but that of the Empire.

The same goes for Qin Mo.

This is because what stands behind the two of them is not some substantial existence called the Empire or Tyrone, but a complex entity with countless populations and countless interests.

If Guilliman does not want to intensify the conflict between the Empire and Talon, then he must balance it from the perspective of the Empire and decide what to give or what to stick to.

However, although the High Lord's proposal was correct, Guilliman also had questions: "How have you decided to reduce their influence? Do you have any specific decisions?"

Hearing the question of the Regent Primarch, all the high ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but this was not a confusion in the face of the unknown, but an... indescribable complex reaction. It is not an appropriate summary, that is, to each other. "Signal".

"There is a world within the Belis Corona sector, and the governor on it is practicing and proving a method."

When a high minister began to speak, Guilliman was sure that this guy was a speaker who had been pushed out of countless discussions in the council.

Guilliman listened curiously.

"There are many industrial areas in this world, invested by the Tyrone people, to produce daily necessities for the expeditionary army..."

"This governor is loyal to the empire. He asked those Tyrones to leave his world. As you can imagine, he was pushed back."

"Then he used the army to seal off industrial areas and fired poison gas inside, and warned the Tyrone people that if they did not get out of the world immediately, the next step would be to bomb and massacre the major residential areas in the world. Then this method The effect...um...magic effect!"

"Although threatening others by slaughtering your own people may sound funny, haha, but it does work against the Tyrones."

The Supreme Minister said with high spirits.

Even though this method was not something he came up with and pointed out, it was a reference. Refer to Catachan's approach when facing the attack of the Tau civilization, but in the world he said, the governor's decision-making was obviously more effective.

"..."

Guilliman listened to the High Lord's words in silence. He took a step back and placed his big hands on the back of the adamantine chair.

The original body's face was as white as a piece of paper.

Guilliman had seen countless horrific scenes and heard countless horrific things. His face was now paler than when he was infected by the virus in Nurgle's domain.

When the High Lord inquired with concern about the regent's health, Guilliman suddenly began to retch.

The pope of the state religion quickly lowered his head because he did not dare to look at the embarrassed look of the son of God with saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth after retching.

"Stop." Guilliman wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, raised his head with a ferocious face, and let out a low growl in his throat that made the supreme ministers' hair stand on end. "Let that damn governor who threatens others by slaughtering his own people stop."

"Yes." The High Lord, who told Guilliman about the loyal governor's deeds, became serious and bowed and nodded, "The Ministry of Justice will punish that damn guy immediately, in the name of the regent."
