Chapter 85 Demiurge Conference/Behemoth Fleet

Chapter 85 Demiurge Meeting Behemoth Fleet

Dimiurge, the name of the abandoned dock. The lieutenant colonel looked at the tablet in his leg and described the tragic experience of the thing that once belonged to the Empire. The Demiurge platform had been hit countless times during the thousands of years it stood in the void, but what was fatal to her was the offensive and defensive battle with the Tau during that period.

The Tau used overwhelming firepower to destroy the soldiers stationed on the platform by the Imperial Guard, but when the Tau ground forces approached and intended to occupy it, the aliens found that they underestimated the courage and determination to sacrifice of the Imperial Guard.

The loyalists detonated the bomb, destroying most of the Imperial technology and shelters and weapons on the platform, so that the Tau suffered heavy losses while ensuring that the platform would not become a short-term firepower springboard, which prolonged the war for a long time.

The place that makes people sigh is that place, the place that was once defended by loyal soldiers, but became the place for peace talks. In the transport plane, Alanbair looked at the people around him with a smile.

The planetary governor of Quadravidia, a pot-bellied imperial noble, with one eye and a mechanical right leg. Through the fat, the server in his stomach kept roaring, and the outside of the cocoa had been replaced almost completely.

Commander of the Imperial Navy Fleet in Damocles Bay, the technical sage of the flagship of the Imperial Navy, the Mechanicus, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, Qi Fan, the great hero Kane, was a staff officer.

It seemed that he was the lowest in the group, an officer of the Star Military Academy, a young man who barely stepped into the power field, equivalent to a wolf falling into a lion group, and he was not the only guy wearing a bulletproof helmet.

The landing of the transport plane brought the kind of uncomfortable tremor, the platform's sizzling sound of the valve opening and the sound of the mechanical piston gear turning. When the transport plane was opened, the hangar was ridiculously large, and it was estimated to be calculated in kilometers, and except for a few titanium transport planes and fighters, there was nothing, making the hugeness and silence even more obvious.

There were a few Tu clan members wearing combat uniforms moving things around, and the first feeling that Alanbair had when he arrived there was cold. The vacuum of the void, far away from the light and heat of the stars, reminded Alanbair of his hometown Skadi instantly.

He exhaled a breath of hot air, and felt a little nostalgic for the environment, after all, it was not that cold in Gondwa VI.

Staff Officer Kane showed goodwill to the nearby soldiers, and the soldiers responded with a salute, but Alanbair could read his intentions, such as estimating the safety factor there.

Although he knew that the risk of a fierce conflict before they arrived there was minimal, the senior stormtroopers assigned to Qifan's private guards were well-trained and powerful, and the Titanium rarely violated the treaty directly, but Kane was Kane only if he was worried about such things.

If his soul could live forever, then if his personality could be changed, it would probably take the heat death of the universe.

As the group slowly moved forward, Alanbair could not help but notice the peculiarities of the Tau architecture, such as the smooth walls that looked like plastic but were very solid, which were completely different from the heavy black metal buildings of the Empire, and the strip lights that made Alanbair feel like he was in another world.

Entering the Tau building, the temperature began to rise and soon reached a habitable temperature.

"Are you Staff Officer Kane and the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard, Commander Qi Fan?" A young human woman in a light gray robe was waiting for Kane, with a carefully braided scalp lock. (Scalp locks, that is, a lock of hair left on the top of the shaved head of American Indians, are regarded as a sign of challenge to the enemy.)

Half hanging on the back. If there is anything special, it is that her appearance is disturbingly different from the surrounding outdoor decorations. "Currently, other representatives of the Tau Empire are waiting for you in the conference room."

Although her language is not clear, with a little slurred speech unique to the Tau, overall, the person speaks Gothic very well.

Staff Officer Kane nodded with his tall body, as if he was the master of the place. "He still needs to apologize for being late."

The staff officer's politeness was already surprising. After all, most of the imperial residents, especially the Imperial Guard, were against traitors, but the commander-in-chief and Alan Baier were obviously not among them.

And Alan Baier's gaze made the woman in front of him look sideways, and the staff officer raised his legs. "He introduced me to him. He is the commander of the 4th Infantry Regiment of Skadi, Lieutenant Colonel Alan Baier."

The woman looked at him as if he was furniture, a vase, or a foil, but Alan Baier didn't care. After all, the battlefield was there, and he would deal with such traitors himself.

"Nice to meet you, Lieutenant Colonel." Alan Baier was sure that the woman didn't remember his name at all.

"Hello, can I ask my name?" Alan Baier asked back.

The woman answered. "O'Res. Fred, the external coordinator of the Tau Empire."

"Interesting name, the surname of Tau and the name of the Empire?" Staff Officer Kane asked.

"O'Res. Fred replied. "In his hometown, such names can be found everywhere."

"Where is the hometown?" Kane tried not to make her question sound like she was going to carry out virus bombing there.

It was obvious that her hometown had long passed the time for liberation, and heresy had been deeply rooted in the hearts of all residents. Elanbair didn't know whether such a world could return to the embrace of the Emperor.

"Ka'le'as," she said before realizing he had no idea what the name was. "Their ancestors called it Dawn Holme."

Alan Bair is not a local. Although Commander-in-Chief Qi Fan did not listen to the wrong words of Tau and Kane, he has been stationed there for a period of time and has already figured out the situation in the Gulf of Damocles and carefully discovered The lieutenant colonel didn't understand.

Commander-in-Chief Qifan explained to Alan Bair. "That was an imperial world that was annexed by the Tau due to the Damocles Expedition, and it lasted for two hundred and fifty standard Terran years."

"It's true that he has no impression of that world." Kane commented bluntly. After all, the empire is vast, and there are dozens of worlds in the Gulf of Damorix that have been annexed by the titanium.

"After all, the human empire is vast." She responded calmly without getting angry. Those words caused all the humans there to smile sincerely for the first time since they met.

Everyone thought that most of the residents of the Tau Empire must not know how insignificant the little territory they occupied was compared to the huge size of the Empire, otherwise they would not have dared to challenge them in the first place.

While continuing to move forward in such a pleasant atmosphere, after walking dozens of meters, I arrived in front of the door. In front of the door of the conference room, the characters of the Tau tribe were different from the characters of Imperial Gothic. It was a complicated alphabet, but Alan Bair was familiar with it. The moon-style mix of square characters, katakana and kanji feels like you have entered the moon-style cyberpunk world.

But that doesn't make him feel warm or nostalgic. After all, everything there always gives off an alien feeling that people are not used to.

The room that O'Ris called the conference room was different from any conference room Alan Beyer had ever visited before.

Of course, he also recognized some of them, such as the holographic image hanging in the air, emitting a soft light, but the appearance it showed was very clear, unlike the things he had seen in the past that were used by the Empire and kept shaking. , and the edge of the image forms a perfect sphere and does not spread into a hazy mass.

Since there was no mess of cables and light lines in the empire and the technical priests responsible for debugging them, Alan Bayer took a while to find the projection equipment among other mechanical devices in the room.

It was too (titanium) clean for him to get used to. After all, the battleship Bordeleau was in the other command rooms or conference rooms of the Bufo empire. There were messy things, wires, vague star maps and complicated The signal was different from the crew or the attack on Hanxuan in Tongxunxingzongyue. It was very orderly and there were not even many people responsible for processing the information.

It became a bit ridiculous for him to finally miss those holographic projectors that he was accustomed to needing to be constantly adjusted, oiled, and occasionally required to use pious kicks to keep it stable.

From the east, flat and smooth devices were installed at a certain angle on the circular podium, with the luminous runes attached to them flickering in and out in an almost random manner.

But the thing that impressed Alan Bayer the most was that there were no tables or benches in that place. There was no huge table in the imperial conference room with star maps or strategic maps. There were flat equipment placed on the ground, and the seats...

Walking mats, the kind of damn walking mats that are very moon-like. The high-ranking officials of the Water clan who were kidnapped by Alan Bair and the hostage Feng cast them into brand new robes. They have the feeling of kimonos and are as gorgeous as the empire. The aristocratic costumes are different and look easy to fall.

It is covered with complicated symbols such as flowers and clan emblems, but overall it has a pretty good aesthetic.

There were four other unknown Tau members already there. Alan Bair recalled the word that had been sealed for a long time, what was it called... Wrong, sitting right there!

Just press your thighs against your calves abnormally and roll them up like a quilt...

To ensure fairness, there are six seats on the left and six on the right, six humans and six Tau. The staff officer took the lead and walked to the east unaccustomedly. Then he slipped to the east as expected and was confused. Sitting on all fours.

Commander-in-Chief Qi Fan and the guys from the Mechanicus walked away without any problems. The former probably had no training or dealings with titanium, and the latter didn't have the thighs of a normal human at all.

Qi Fan said jokingly. Once you get used to it, it will become very comfortable to walk on. "

At first, the Planetary Governor, Lieutenant Colonel Alan Bair, the Navy Admiral, and Kane walked east with their legs crossed, which looked very out of place. When two-thirds of the people there were sitting upright, and I was the one with my legs crossed, it felt like Like I'm being rebellious.

Even then, Alan Bayer soon felt that his legs were numb...and the military boots were not suitable for walking like that at all, and the dust stained his trousers and turned them gray.

And that kind of embarrassment also made the titans show quite contemptuous expressions. The famous water clan official had a famous tablet, but it was thin and flat compared to the empire's tactical tablet. The empire's thing was basically just a big brick. The picture Very unclear.

Several unnamed races came to the east and brought tea to the meeting. According to human and titanium aesthetics, they were slender and beautiful things, like dolls made of crystal, but there was no doubt that they had the texture of flesh. , has no facial features, and is not a silicon-based creature, revealing a strange blue color in the light.

The Empire's top brass knew full well that they were wrong about the Tau when they were wrong about enslaving the aliens. Many people even thought that they would encounter the kind of betrayal experienced in human legends. Of course, the Dark Ages have completely turned into legends. Probably There are very clear records from the Spiritual Tribe.

But compared to those beautiful transparent dancers, the tea there made everyone more excited. "Tanner tea?!" Kane raised the tea cup, took a sip, and then let out a comfortable breath.

A senior titanium official said. "They have records that you like that special drink, staff officer, so they arranged something." He stretched out his leg to shake staff officer Kane's leg, but Kane didn't look good.

"Al'Hasay." He said the titanium's name and commented. "I didn't expect that I was so healthy." The lifespan of the Tau is about 60-70 years. In fact, in Kane's memory, 60 years have passed since the meeting between the Tau and him, and he (Kane) was almost killed that time. He kills.

"Both each other." Al-Hasay responded politely and gently shook the leg that Staff Kane handed over. The cautious look made Kane notice that he remembered his modified leg very well. It means very lethal.

‘Lord Commander Burnt. "Al'Hasay continued without pause. "It's nice to finally meet me. "

"That's definitely not the case." Qi Fan bowed his head politely, but there was obvious impatience in his brows. "He's looking forward to what I'm going to say."

Obviously, although the etiquette of the Tau is good, the Empire is pragmatic, especially the soldiers of the Imperial Guard. They are often racing against time, repeating the endless wars, and have no time to play with the Tau.

Compared to that, Alan Bayer picked up the Tanner tea and tasted the unique taste. After all, whether he was drinking the moldy good stuff of his regiment staff officer, he felt like he was punched in the nose...

Something like Assam has been steeped for 50 grams and a lot of coffee has been added to it. It is so bitter that it makes people look distorted, and it is so fragrant that it chokes the throat. It even makes Alan Bayer feel that the tea is not solid...

It turns out that it tastes bad because of mold...

The senior officials of the Water Clan were a little dissatisfied when they saw Alan Bayer making a "grimace" after drinking tea, but he did not hesitate to pick up the tablet. "Everyone, it's been a long time since we came here. They came to see you as the core. You guys stay here."

Then when an image appeared on the holographic projection, the expression on the commander-in-chief's face changed. "The all-powerful Emperor!"

"And all his saints!" added Kane affectionately.

The image was very clear, and the terrifying thing it depicted seemed to be in the same room with them at this time. If that were true, the area of ​​​​the conference room would have to be larger than the entire orbital dock.

The thick scaly skin of the land ship's armor left a large number of craters with ineffective weapon fire, and the owner of the huge "armor" was driving out of deep space and approaching them. From their perspective at this time, , it is like a rotating biological satellite.

Beyond the horizon of that chitinous "planet", there are other terrifying creatures of the same kind swimming in space, and they are surrounded by clouds composed of countless small creatures.

"A Tyranid fleet!" Qi Fan raised his voice so that everyone in the room could hear clearly. There was a sudden commotion among the delegation, gasps, murmurs, and hushed prayers to the Emperor...

He found one sentence that described the taste of Tanner tea.

"The political commissar commented that it was clear and elegant, but he felt that no one would describe the Imperial Poison Blade as small and yet ruthless, right?"

Off-topic: The pious kicks are mentioned in Commissar Kane's novels in Shan Dao. By the way, when his computer freezes, he will shake it, and usually it will stop. .
