Chapter 48: Representations and Conditions
Half a day later, David made the long journey to the Lower Lair and immediately went to the forefront of the confrontation to negotiate.
In order to show his sincerity, David didn't even bring an escort, he just walked alone to the side of the First Army with his strong-brained cat.
When he saw David coming, Gray, who had been on standby, got up and walked towards him.
After the two stood facing each other, David looked at Gray, and he was surprised to find that the power armor Gray was wearing had not been seen in the entire Empire.
Why did this person go to the bottom nest and then have the ability to produce power armor?
David's gaze drifted behind Gray, and he saw that all the soldiers on the battlefield were also wearing power armor.
Compared to such a scene, it doesn't matter where the power armor on Gray's body comes from.
"Are you their guide?" David asks Gray, subconsciously believing that he is the actual commander of the First Army.
Gray was silent, not saying a word.
Two seconds later, a crack appeared in front of David, and a man emerged from the crack.
"Qin Mo." Qin Mo looked down at David and said his name.
Seeing that he did not salute, David was slightly dissatisfied, but did not care: "David." I am honored to share my name with the Divine Emperor's staunch believers. ”
Qin Mo looked at David, judging from what he was wearing, he was the state religion of the Tailong Nest Capital, this person was estimated to be one or two hundred years old, there were various traces of prosthetic transformation on his body, and there was a black metal jar attached to his back in his heart, which was estimated to be a life-sustaining device.
As soon as he saw David, Qin Mo suddenly remembered the prophecy he told himself, that is, the first person he saw would be an evil god believer.
In the eyes of other forces, the emperor is indeed an evil god, so the prophecy is really correct.
When Qin Mo looked at David, David also looked at Qin Mo, and he found that this young man was a little arrogant, both in terms of expression and attitude.
As a state religious official, David could see at a glance that Qin Mo was actually not a staunch believer in the Divine Emperor, but he couldn't make this matter clear.
"Who can you represent?" Qin Mo asked.
"The Nest Capital and the State Religion." David replied indifferently.
"Let's talk." Qin Mo turned around and walked towards the position.
While walking side by side with David, Qin Mo observed him.
David gently stroked the strong-brained cat in his arms as he walked, and the creature that could only establish a psychic connection with its owner was sleeping soundly, obviously not feeling the worry and fear from its owner.
This proves that David is very calm in his heart, he is sure that he will not be killed, and the people who have escaped death from the nest in front of him do not want to start a rebellion.
But that's just what he thinks.
After walking to the position, Qin Mo and David sat on the two chairs brought by the soldiers, and then began to negotiate.
"Poor boy." David glanced at the people present, "What have you been through in the nest?" ”
"A war." Qin Mo didn't explain too much, and then began to put forward conditions: "My people have to move freely in the lower nest, and they can do things including but are not limited to: meeting with their own families, picking up their own families, and going to buy and transport supplies. ”
David listened quietly until Qin Mo finished speaking, and then a puzzled expression appeared on his face: "Pick up the family?" Are you going back to the nest? ”
"Yes." Qin Mo nodded.
David didn't respond immediately, but lowered his head and pondered.
Now the whole nest is holding back the First Army is their family, and if they take their family back to the bottom nest, they will lose their containment, and if they want to launch a large-scale retaliatory operation, there is nothing to stop them.
But if you don't agree, I'm afraid you'll ......
Thinking of this, David raised his head and stared at Qin Mo, trying to use his psionic energy to probe Qin Mo's head and find out his plan to determine if he was preparing for war or not.
At this time, the strong-brained cat also woke up from its deep sleep and stared at Qin Mo with his master.
After nearly a minute of probing, David found nothing, and then he began to probe Gray's head, but found nothing.
David immediately realized that there was an anti-psionic device in the power armor on their bodies, which made him feel very outrageous, and the group of people in front of him did not look like they had escaped from the nest at all, but rather like visitors from some high-tech world.
"Speak." Qin Mo stared at David, "To agree or not to agree?" ”
"Okay." David nodded in agreement.
"Very well, the first negotiation is over." Qin Mo was very satisfied, and got up and left directly.
Hearing the end of the first negotiation, David realized that Qin Mo had only put forward the first condition, and he would have a second and third one next.
The best way not to fall into passivity is to go to war, to make these people rebels and eliminate them.
But David was a soldier when he was young, and he knew what the outcome of the war with Qin Mo would be.
While watching Qin Mo leave, David suddenly thought of a question and asked loudly: "You finally ran out of the nest with these soldiers, why do you want them to go back?" Just want them to be your tool for satisfying ambitions? ”
Qin Mo stopped and looked back at David: "I want to let the soldiers move freely, they can choose to take their family members to the bottom nest, or they can choose to stay in the bottom nest, I will not force anyone to have to go back to the bottom nest." ”
This answer again left David wondering, "Why? Aren't you afraid that they will all choose to stay in the lower nest? ”
"Huh." Qin Mo just smiled, and his body was immediately wrapped in the barrier, and then disappeared.
David was even more puzzled and surprised, he felt that the situation was a little out of his control, and that he might have to ask the court to come to Tyrone if necessary.
But Tyrone's Hive is just one of many worlds in the Empire, and after the Governor sent the Laser Rifle and Centaur personnel carrier production lines out, the entire Hive has become more and more insignificant, and it may be difficult to get the Inquisition to intervene if enough evidence is not gathered.
However, if the invitation is issued in the name of the state religion, it may be permissible.
"Leave." Gray pointed to Barrett and his men.
"Oh, okay." David nodded and turned to leave.
At this time, the strong-brained cat in his arms suddenly became agitated.
David comforted the Brain Cat and took out a jar from his arms and put it next to the Brain Cat's mouth.
The Brain Cat can use psionic energy, which makes the contents of the jar float out into its mouth and chew excitedly.
Gray stood aside and witnessed the eating process of the strong-brained cat, and he found that the food of this beautiful creature was very disgusting, a large, white fat bug.
"It looks pretty cute, but the food is a little disgusting." Gray complained in the communication channel.
"Hell knows how this old thing raised a brain cat like this." "The brain-strong cats I've seen don't eat bugs. ”
