Chapter 753 196 People Each Have Their Own Destiny
Chapter 753 196. Everyone has his own destiny
"He's right there, the man who controls the machinery of the Human Empire."
Polonium Nivaan of the Water Clan said that the alien race spoke High Gothic fluently, but the High Gothic in its mouth did not make Mayiga hear the arrogance in the mouths of those gentlemen.
On the contrary, this language is extremely friendly in the mouth of this gray-blue alien.
Mayiga swallowed his saliva. After betraying the Human Empire, he was assigned to a diplomatic security team of the Tau Empire as an alien escort for the Water Caste diplomat Po'Nivaan.
"Is he wearing a red robe? If so, then we call this type of person a mechanical magus."
"The Mechanical Magus."
Po'Nivaan read it thoughtfully, and then the titanium lowered its head and thanked Mayiga gratefully.
"Thank you for your information. I remembered that people of this type do exist in the empire - but no matter what, thank you, Mayiga, for your addition.
It is people like you who are willing to be a bridge between the two races that promote the development of peace, for the sake of the greater good. "
Pol'Nivaan put its hand on Mayiga's shoulder in a friendly manner - something that human gentlemen rarely did, as they would dislike Mayiga's filth and lowliness.
Mayiga swallowed, his mouth felt a little dry,
"For, for the Greater Good."
He said somewhat parroting, and the titanium beside him gave him an encouraging smile. The titanium cleverly talked to the human, and between those gentle words, they arrived.
"You're here."
Mayiga, who was behind Po'Nivaan, almost subconsciously took a step back when he saw the Tau clearly. The Tau woman in the xv22 commander's specialized combat uniform was tall and serious, and her eyes were like a A sharp arrow shot straight at Mayiga.
"Good day, Commander Yingyang."
Mayiga understood this alien language, and then Po'Nivaan started chatting with the "Commander Yingyang". In the gentle tone of the Water clan, his face was resolute, as if cast a shadow. The Tau women have also become kinder.
Then, Shadow Sun nodded to them and opened the closed door behind it. The Tau said a few words, and then the door slowly opened.
"Follow me, Mayiga."
Po'Nivaan nodded to Mayiga behind him, and then they walked in together. Behind the door was a long corridor, so they continued walking.
"I thought you were wondering what we were going to do."
Po'Nivaan whispered, causing Mayiga to tense up again.
"We need to persuade a mechanical magus from the Empire."
Po'Nivaan said calmly. After the Tau said this, Mayiga understood why the Water Caste brought him here - he would be a role model to persuade the Tau to surrender.
This thought made him feel ashamed. In fact, Mayiga could shoot at the soldiers sent by the Human Empire, but he still could not face a person from the Empire "alone".
Mayiga swallowed again and touched his face.
"I understand, Nivaan, but - but I think this is a bit difficult. Mechanical mages are generally the weirdest type of people among humans. They are stubborn and stubborn. I'm not sure..."
"He's definitely a bit tricky."
Pol'Nivaan nodded and cleverly interrupted Mayiga. In fact, the Tau Empire captured a Mechanicus ship that suddenly appeared in their territory——
According to inference, this ship seems to have strayed into the territory of the Tau Empire due to the Quantum Slingshot's wandering.
Tau Commander Shadowsun led his core to capture the ship. After discovering that they were defeated by the Tau, those or others began to frantically destroy all the devices on their ship.
But in the end, through clever tactics, Yingyang finally succeeded in capturing the leader of these people——
Ether believes that the Titanium needs to persuade the sage to surrender, because on this mechanical ship, the Titanium discovered a type of device called "Nirvana". According to the research of the Earth clan, this device seems to be part of some kind of huge information transmission system. branches.
But the Nirvana device on the ship has long been locked, and the activation key is known only to the sage. After discussion, the Earth clan did not think they could crack the mechanical sage's firewall without touching the self-destruction program.
"But don't stress, it's just a conversation."
Po'Nivaan explained, and immediately added the next sentence,
"If you don't want to, we don't force you."
Mayiga paused for a moment. In fact, he could just turn around and leave. These friendly aliens would not make things difficult for him - but it was this ability to turn around and leave that made Mayiga choose to stay.
He was not forced, which is why Mayiga chose titanium.
"No, no no no."
Mayiga shook his head and took a deep breath again.
"Please let me try, just for...the Greater Good."
He saw Po'Nivaan laughing, and the Tau patted the human's shoulder. Seeing the Tau's smile, Mayiga felt a little warmth rising in his heart.
This is his own wish. Mayiga came here for himself, with gratitude to Ti.
and hatred of the Empire.
No one will feel the pain that the empire has carved on him more deeply than he. As the most insignificant member, he huddled in the trench, watching the pot-bellied commander scolding his comrades in the face of the enemy's artillery fire.
A consumable that will be consumed quickly has no human rights. They are struggling in the mud, hungry, and tortured by severe cold, heat, thirst, and disease.
If you don't die, you face a gloomy, hopeless next day.
The Empire does not promise them warmth.
Soon they reached the end of the corridor, and an identical door opened. Mayiga smelled an unpleasant smell, like a mixture of engine oil, rust and blood.
He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but still gritted his teeth and followed Po'Nivaan. Mayiga turned his head and saw a terrifying scene in the room.
A Tau from the Water Caste sat at the table.
Opposite it, a sage whose lower body mechanical prosthetics had been completely dismantled was suspended in mid-air by heavy cables. The ferocious junction of flesh and metal was exposed on his waist and abdomen. The mechanical parts of his arms had also been removed, only The remaining half of flesh and blood on his upper arm was pulled out from the cable extending from the middle and became a chain to hang him up.
Mayiga originally hoped that the sage had completed all facial transformations - so that his psychological pressure might be less.
But the sage only modified the lower half of his face. At the same time, the metal jawbone on his lower face was also removed, and it was now open comically.
Only his eyes were left, so bright, so sharp, burning with the fire of hatred.
And he was staring at Mayiga.
Mayiga shuddered subconsciously, but the titanium did not notice his little movement. Po'Nivaan chatted with the water caste for a few words, and then the water caste stood up and left the table, and at the same time spoke to Mayiga in High Gothic. .
"I'm sorry that you saw your kind suffer like this,"
The Water Clan said this, and then showed an apologetic expression,
"We didn't want to, but if we didn't, he would immediately start to self-destruct, so we had to remove his mechanical parts, but other than that, we didn't abuse him."
"at the same time,"
The Shui clan turned their heads and looked at the sage,
"If he asked for something, Titanium would give it to him, but he didn't want to."
"Let Mayiga try it."
Po'Nivaan turned sideways and motioned for Mayiga to sit on the other side of the table, facing the sage.
"Zerul is an excellent diplomat, but it can't complete its mission, so we think only you can try, Mayiga."
As Po'Nivaan spoke, he gently pushed Mayiga to sit in that position. Regardless of Mayiga's slight resistance, the Tau blinked.
"Try, but we won't be harsh on your failure."
Polonium'Nivaan patted Mayiga's shoulder with three of its fingers as a sign of encouragement, and then the two titans left the room as Mayiga watched.
The door closed again.
The room suddenly became quiet, except for Mayiga's violent heartbeat and the buzzing sound coming from the mechanical sage's body.
Mayiga struggled to turn his gaze back to the sage, which made him almost subconsciously excited. The sage was staring at him unblinkingly at the moment.
"traitor."
There was an electric sound in the sage's throat, and he leaned on the sound generator to make the sound.
This word was thrown at Mayiga, but he did not hide. He grinned subconsciously. Mayiga stared at the tattered red robe of the sage. With such texture... he must be a big shot.
"traitor?"
Mayiga asked back. To his surprise, his voice was unusually calm.
"The empire has never acknowledged the ants under its feet. He doesn't care about my life or death, so why does he care about my loyalty?"
"I just want to live, that's all."
Mayiga stared into the sage's eyes, unusually calm
"Before this, I worked for the empire in the hive city, and I worked for the empire on the front line. I mortgaged everything I had to this behemoth. I lacked sleep, was hungry, and was scared at all times, but the empire gave me What did you do to me?”
Mayiga swallowed and faced the sage's sharp eyes. His tone became intense and his voice subconsciously raised,
"I eat food that is inferior to pigs and dogs, struggle with the worst equipment among garbage and corpses, the clothes the empire gave me can barely keep out the cold, and anyone with a higher official position or bloodline than me can beat and scold me! Abuse me Me! If they wanted, they could even kill me for fun!"
"Before I joined the Astra Militarum, my wife died of a plague that spread across the hive. She was obviously still alive at the time! But the biological sage killed her with just one shot! Then he burned her in front of me and my children. "
Mayiga felt himself getting more and more excited as he spoke, his heart pounding, and he felt tears dripping down his face subconsciously. If his wife and children were still around, how much he wished they could live the good life he had now!
"I joined the Astra Militarum just to keep my children alive. I fought desperately to survive on the battlefield so that they could get an extra month of military pay, but they still died, and I don't even know how they died. Dead."
Mayiga's eyes were blurred. He was on the front line at the time. When the commander gave him the obituary letter for the children, he stared at the signal and cried, but it was already too late.
He wanted to leave the army, but leaving without permission was not allowed.
Later, during a long blockade battle, in order not to eat the corpses of his comrades, Mayiga read the letter again and again with tears. Then he tore the letter into small pieces, held it in his mouth, and chewed it with saliva. Swallow it little by little.
The obituary letter stating the death of his child became the stepping stone to his new life. Mayiga managed to survive until rescue arrived - but the rescue came not from the Empire, but from the Titanium.
"For an ant like me, believing in the empire will only lead to a painful death."
Mayiga wiped away his tears and regained his composure.
"Following the Titanium, they gave me food, clean water, a single dormitory, and even more care about the soldiers' weapons and vehicles. How ridiculous. Only on the alien side did I feel that I was treated as a real human being. Rather than a consumable that can be wasted and thrown away at any time.”
These Tau talked to him friendly and made friends with him. As long as he worked normally, he would have a comfortable living environment.
He laughed, directly provoking the great mechanical sage.
"I know what you want to say. You people will only rebuke our cowardice and our betrayal - but before that, why has no one seen our sacrifice and pain? The superiors whip us and lie on our backs Vampire."
"High-ranking people like you will never understand us. On the contrary, it is Titanium that gives us real life."
Mayiga said sadly and relievedly that he was sorry for not helping Ti. His words did not sound like persuading him to surrender, but just a simple rebuke.
But he had wanted to say these words for too long.
"traitor."
The mechanical sage made a monotonous tone, which mistakenly made Mayiga think that the sage was unable to refute him, but the next moment, the sage spoke.
"All will sacrifice and suffer if the Empire needs it."
He states the facts,
"Everyone is suffering, but you only see your own suffering."
"This is the only way to fight against the ferocious Galaxy. You surrender only because your small eyes have never seen the real beast - do you really think that Titanium is kind enough to take you in?"
"No,"
The sage said coldly,
"It is precisely because the Human Empire still exists that you have value to Titanium. Your current comfortable life is only because the Empire exists. You betrayed him in exchange for your current life - you exchanged the loyalty you could have had for nothing. Worthy of life and enjoyment.”
"No!"
Mayiga slammed the table,
"The Tau who believe in the Greater Good will tolerate the races that have established diplomatic relations with them. In the cities established by the Tau, you can see various races living in harmony. The Kroot people have become a member of the Tau Representative Council - the Tau It’s not that the empire is that sick.”
"So what did the Kroot exchange for their status? On the battlefield, the lives of their people, right?"
The sage said,
"Profits, their temporary existence makes the Titanium still welcome them. When the value is no longer there, what will the Titanium do with the aliens?"
"Even if you claim to work for them, you will always be their second-class race. If the Empire disappears, guess what the Tau will do to you. They will eliminate you as soon as possible - your current comfortable life is because of the Empire. exist."
Mayiga gritted his teeth and muttered a sentence between his teeth,
"Each race will find its own position in the Greater Good, just like the Water Clan, the Fire Clan——"
"They will only treat you as pets and slaves. These clans will always be inferior to Ether. This is the truth. The moment you give the right to shoot to the aliens, you are destined to be their slaves."
"But at least it's better than being a slave to the empire!"
Mayiga shouted,
"At least Titanium respects me! Give me food and shelter! Give me my own life! Give me - give me an environment to continue living!"
If his children were here among the Tau, they would have grown taller than Mayiga, but instead they died, their bodies lying alone in some dark, bitter corner.
"Hehehehehehehe."
To Mayiga's surprise, the mechanical sage laughed, but the electronically simulated laughter made his hair stand on end.
"Innocent race,"
The sage twitched, and Mayiga looked at the sage who was not human in horror.
"They are so tolerant to you only because they have not yet seen the truth of the galaxy - when they realize the truth, they will realize how wasteful and extravagant their previous actions were."
"And as a lesser race, what awaits you will only be hypocritical backstabbing."
Electricity exploded in Sage's body, and Mayiga stood up suddenly. He called out to his Tau friend Polon'Nivaan, and Mayiga realized that Sage was trying to commit suicide.
"You could have gained your loyalty, and the Emperor and Hades would have accepted you - but you betrayed, traitor, you failed the pain and loyalty of others, and judgment will eventually fall on you, traitor!!!"
"I just--want to live!!!"
Mayiga screamed that he just wanted to live! He wants food! He wants water! He no longer wants to be a slave to the nobles! ! He wants his wife and children alive! ! He just chose the life he wanted! ! !
"If loyalty is so valuable!!! Then I am willing to redeem it!!! Rather than die in pain with it!!!"
Mayiga's scream was drowned in an even more violent roar. At the last moment when his whole body exploded, the sage's shouting power penetrated the walls,
“For Ohm Messiah!!!”
