Chapter 1034 Strength Above All

After receiving Shepard's report, the Citadel of God was naturally stunned. They didn't suspect that Shepard was lying. After all, this kind of thing can only be concluded after investigation. And Shepard, as a ghost, couldn't help but disbelieve God's Citadel when he spoke so convincingly, so in desperation, God's Citadel had to send another diplomatic team to the Wandering Galaxy, and Fangzheng communicated.

However, the communication process was not smooth.

At first, the Citadel Council wanted to invite Tiandao Palace to join the Citadel Council just like other races, but Fang Zheng flatly refused. Just kidding, joining the Citadel means obeying the laws and rules of the Citadel, but Fangzheng obviously will not allow Tiandao Palace to obey the rules of external forces.

This also made the delegation of God's Castle look confused. After all, according to their experience, ordinary civilized races would choose to join after learning about God's Castle, but this Heavenly Dao Palace...

immature!

"We hope you can understand that the Citadel's treaty is to restrict the development of civilizations in the galaxy to avoid unnecessary danger..."

"But why is it up to you to decide?"

Looking at the envoy of Asari in front of him, Fang Zheng in the form of the time dragon dismissed it.

"Your rules and laws are just your rules and laws, not the truth of this universe. Heavenly Dao Palace doesn't ask for God's Citadel, nor does it want to join God's Citadel. So, why do you want us to abide by your rules?"

"you……………"

Listening to the verbal confrontation between the two sides, Shepard next to her was secretly a little envious of the Tiandao Palace. After all, as a human being, she also knew very well what kind of suffering humans experienced in the Citadel. Although it is true that humans joined the Citadel to broaden their horizons and have contacts with other alien races, in the final analysis, it is because humans are too weak.

You must know that the reason why humans joined the Citadel at the beginning was mainly because of the threat of war with the Turian Empire. Although the Asari who was in charge of the mediation did not say it directly, humans are not fools. Join the Citadel for the mediation to take effect. If they refuse to join, then all-out war between humans and the Turian Empire is inevitable.

At that time, human beings had just left the solar system not long ago, and their strength in this respect was no stronger than that of turians. Therefore, they had no choice but to accept the suggestion of the Citadel Council and join the Citadel.

After joining the Citadel of God, the development of human science and technology has also been restricted to a certain extent. For example, the Citadel of God prohibits the manufacture of artificial intelligence AI, which makes almost all human research on artificial intelligence for hundreds of years sealed and abandoned. Even in the manufacture and development of warships, they are quite restricted. And humans also spent a lot of effort and sacrificed too many resources, and finally managed to occupy a place in the God's Castle.

If Shepard hadn't defeated the defected agent Saren and the overlord by himself, then it would take human beings to know how many years it would take to be eligible to join the Council of the Citadel.

In Shepard's view, the experience of Tiandao Palace is actually very similar to that of human beings. They all had armed conflicts with turians first, and almost reached the point of fighting each other. Then the God's Citadel Council sent people to negotiate peace, and Trying to absorb this new strength into the Alliance of God's Citadel.

However………

"Tiandao Palace adheres to the non-alignment strategy. We will not form alliances with any forces, organizations, civilizations, or races, nor will we become enemies with any forces, organizations, civilizations, or races for no reason. Therefore, we will not join the Citadel of God, and even more Will not abide by the laws and rules of the Citadel. We have our own laws and rules, and we will only obey our own laws and rules."

Faced with Fang Zheng's answer, the envoys of the Divine Castle were dumbfounded and completely speechless.

But what can they do?

Threats of force are useless. During the days when they came to Tiandao Palace, the envoys also investigated the civilization and technology of Tiandao Palace, and the conclusions they reached were the same as Shepard's. Obviously, this is a person with Even the forces that surpass the scientific and technological power of all existing civilized races, although the number of this force does not seem to be large, their powerful strength is obviously not afraid of any enemies.

Once the two sides really conflict... the consequences are obviously unimaginable.

In the end, the Citadel had to choose a compromise.

What the envoys from the Citadel signed with Tiandao Palace was not the franchise agreement they hoped for, but the "Non-Aggression Treaty". The two parties only agreed not to invade each other's territory. , Whoever occupies this galaxy first will obtain the right to develop this galaxy.

Without permission, you are not allowed to enter the other party's galaxy. If the warning is invalid, you will be expelled or even attacked.

For the Castle of God, this is obviously not what they expected to see. But for Shepard, seeing this scene was quite refreshing.

If human beings had the strength of Tiandao Palace back then, I am afraid they would not need to compromise in the Divine Castle.

It's a pity that the skills are not as good as people, so I can't do without bowing my head.

Logically speaking, after the signing of the treaty, Shepard and others can go home, but...

"Observation team?"

Standing in the communication room, looking at Anderson in front of him, Shepard looked confused. However, Senator Anderson nodded.

"That's right, Tiandao Palace will send an observation team into our galaxy for observation and communication. Based on my suggestion, we finally chose you and the Normandy as the leaders of this observation team."

"Wait, why me? You should know that there are more important things than being a tour guide right now!"

Hearing Anderson's answer, Shepard immediately jumped up. Are you kidding? The Reapers will come to harvest the entire Milky Way in a short time. There are more things to investigate on my side than mountains. How can I have free time for Tiandao Palace? people as tour guides?

However, Anderson's expression was more serious than Shepard imagined.

"Because of this, we need stronger support. If what you said is true, relying on our strength alone is obviously not enough to resist the Reapers. Although the opponent did not join the Citadel, he is also a member of the Milky Way... ..."

Speaking of this, Anderson lowered his voice.

"This is not just my opinion, but also the opinion of the Star Alliance."

Hearing this, Shepard immediately understood.

Obviously, human beings also took a fancy to the super technology of Tiandao Palace, and tried to trade with it to improve their own technology. It seems that this negotiation has also stimulated the mood of the humans.

After all, in this universe, the truth is that the fist is bigger.

"how should I do?"

"You continue to carry out the mission to investigate the intelligence about the Reapers and the Gatherers. This observation team will act with you. I hope you can let them understand that the Reapers are not only the Star Alliance, the enemy of the Citadel, but also the enemies of the Citadel. Enemy of all life in the galaxy. If, as you say, the Reapers are going to attack and harvest the galaxy in the not-too-distant future, we need a stronger and more powerful ally."

Having said this, Anderson's voice also became serious.

"This is an order I gave you, understand? Commander Shepard?"

"clear!"

Hearing this, Shepard immediately stood up straight and saluted.

"Guaranteed to complete the task!"
