Because the sector and the Terra Empire's Great Expedition Fleet had already had battles and unpleasant experiences, and the Terra Empire had done some things that were not very authentic, and even engaged in some nasty things in private.

Trick?

Therefore, although the mine base agreed in principle to the other party's request for negotiation, the sector did not intend to coddle the other party's envoys and ambassadors, nor did it want to be polite, so that even the reception work that should be done was directly

Forget it, not only was there no banquet, but the top negotiators from both sides were even seated together that night to prepare for the first round of negotiations.

Ever since, in a small secret room in the command center with only a long dark red table and two chairs, the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed as if it had solidified into a block of ice, and secret negotiations began quietly.

"..."

At this time, Darius, the supreme commander of the base, was sitting at the end of the dark red negotiation table.

He did not speak first, but his eyes were as sharp and calm as a falcon in winter. At the same time, his fingers were tapping the table. Each gentle tap was like a carefully calculated drum beat, steady and powerful.

, knocking again and again and tirelessly.

"..."

And of course Sejanus was sitting opposite.

Different from Darius's relaxation, his face was as gloomy as the sky covered with dark clouds, but that did not prevent him from staring closely at Darius opposite him.

His expression is calm and resolute. For him who has a high reputation in the Luna Wolves, he is not only a great warrior, but also an extraordinary diplomat. For him, who has been presiding over the diplomatic affairs of the legion, he negotiates every detail of his opponents.

It is common for him to capture the opponent's true inner thoughts and loose loopholes in his expressions and movements.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry, and kept looking at the other person patiently while maintaining an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

"..."

I don’t know how long it took, but when I saw that my opponent in the negotiation still had no intention to speak first, when I thought that I had already started taking action on one of my arrangements, even though he didn’t have much hope for that arrangement.

, but he didn’t want to continue wasting time like this, so he couldn’t help but speak:

"So……"

"Now let's get started!"

Sejanus's voice is low and powerful, yet gentle and full of magnetism. It makes people feel comfortable listening to it, which is completely different from his transformed appearance that looks like a giant and rough.

"His Excellency General Darius."

"We have talked about it many times a while ago, and you have also been connected to our original body about this, so you should be very clear about our position, right?"

"Then I'll make the story short!"

"About that biochemically modified man..."

"No!"

"It's about the female Astartes warrior, the daughter who possesses my gene seed. We are bound to win!"

"And her transformation technology is also a great reference for us."

"That is our bottom line, and there is no possibility of retreat."

"Please believe me, only if you give us everything we need, will it be possible for us to continue to live in peace."

"otherwise……"

"The next time we come to Huagai Star, I'm afraid it won't be an envoy group with only ten battleships!"

"I hope your Excellency will consider it carefully?"

Although after getting the thing, both parties are likely to break the current balance and directly lead to the worst situation. However, considering the mission they shoulder, considering the importance of the female Astartes and her manufacturing technology, considering

His current status is that of a diplomat, so Sejanus still made some remarks against his will and explained a certain situation that was destined to be impossible to become true.

"Yeah?"

"Captain Sejanus is threatening us?"

"If this is the case, then there is no need for us to discuss it with each other."

"You can go back now."

Unfortunately, Darius didn't buy it. Instead, he just gestured with his hands and spoke fluently.

"..."

Of course Sejanus would not fall out and leave just because of his opponent's few words, otherwise he would not have traveled thousands of miles to come here several times to negotiate with the opponent.

After all, negotiation is a process of testing each other, threatening each other, and forcing the other party to compromise. But now everything has just begun. Before nothing has been obtained and the negotiation has not completely broken down, he will not leave easily in any case.

"..."

Seeing the other party's reaction, Darius smiled slightly, and then a cunning and understanding light flashed in his eyes.

"Lord Sejanus!"

"To be honest, your bottom line is nothing to us."

"and……"

"Mulan is our warrior, and we also have absolute sovereignty over Taiwei Galaxy and Huagai Star. I don't think there is any need for negotiation between the two?"

"We won't hand over our soldiers anyway. Company Commander, you'd better give up as soon as possible!"

After speaking so lightly at first, Darius, who seemed to have taken control of the situation, thought about it for a moment, and then continued to speak slowly:

"You should also know that the power we have in our hands is enough to make you pay a heavy price."

"Although your Great Expedition Fleet is indeed magnificent, please believe it, Captain: Your fleet is really worthless in my eyes!"

"You will never understand what kind of behemoth you are facing now!"

"Please be sure to pay attention to your words and choices, because once you make the wrong choice, you will face horrors you can never imagine!"

"I'm not kidding."

Yes, Darius really wasn't kidding!

Even though he was using that irrelevant smiling tone and didn't sound threatening at all, he was really a little bored and angry now.

To be honest, if their head of state hadn't warned them many times that this universe and the damn subspace were not stable, if they easily opened a large portal connecting the star region or an alien plane, it would probably cause the entire universe to lose balance.

And if there were serious consequences such as destruction, then Darius would have already opened the interstellar plane portal and sent several main fleets and millions of warships to rub against the opponent's ridiculous Great Expedition Fleet!

What a bullshit Emperor, what a bullshit Terra, what a bullshit Great Crusade Fleet, and what a bullshit Chaos Demon God and the Warp. If it weren’t for him, Darius, who was subject to various extreme restrictions, if it weren’t for him, he would have only managed to get a mere

A flagship, he had already beaten those guys so hard that their own mothers couldn’t even recognize them!

Of course, there are no assumptions in this world, and the current situation is that his side is severely restricted, so he still has to be patient and continue to say to the disdainful company commander:

"Whether you admit it or not, you have also seen it..."

"The history and current situation of Taiwei Galaxy and Huagai Star are all on our side. The people here support us. This planet and this galaxy are not your bargaining chips."

"And what you want is not so easy to get."

As he spoke, Darius didn't look at the other person's expression, but slowly stretched out his hand, brought the steaming cup of tea on the table to his mouth and took a sip.

"..."

Sejanus frowned slightly. Although he wanted to say that there are still many people on this planet who oppose the rule of the star sector, and there are currently many rebel warlords and so on, but knowing that such things cannot be used as a bargaining chip, nor can they be used as bargaining chips.

Unable to threaten or refute, he still held back.

Then, he gently rubbed his fingers on the armrests of the chair, as if thinking about a countermeasure.

After a while, his deep eyes showed a hint of determination, and then he continued to test the other party's bottom line, shook his head and said sarcastically:

"Sir Darius, are you challenging our patience?"

As he spoke, his voice couldn't help but contain a hint of threat and harmoniousness.

"You have to know that the power of our Terra Empire is beyond your imagination. If you don't understand current affairs, the consequences will be very serious."

"As for what you just said..."

"Although we still don't know where your confidence lies, and we also don't know where the 'star area' is, judging from your current strength, you should be at an absolute disadvantage. Regarding this

A little bit, don’t you deny it?”

"Even if you and the 'star district' you rely on are really strong, in our opinion, there is no way for your 'star district' to become yours in a short period of time, or at least for a long period of time in the future.

It’s true that we rely on the Taiwei Galaxy, right?”

"That is to say!"

"If the two sides turn against each other, it is very likely that you will swallow the bitter fruit of failure?"

Having said this, Sejanus did not continue, and then followed Darius's example, picked up the tea on the table and leaned on the back of the chair that was a little too small for him to drink gently.

He took a sip, and then looked at his negotiating opponent playfully, waiting for the other party's reaction.

"..."

Unfortunately, Darius remained unmoved. He just slowly put down the tea cup, and then a confident smile appeared on his lips.

"Your Excellency, Company Commander, are you threatening me?"

Darius asked back, his tone revealing a calm confidence and disdain, but he did not refute what the other party had just said.
To be continued...
