Chapter 674 The Prototype of the Alliance
"I am cautious about Space Marines." Odemeyer's words silenced everyone, "I always feel something is wrong with those genetic glands, especially after learning about the origins of you Primarchs. back."
"After learning about the history of the empire, some records of the Inquisition, and the genetic control that you people have over the Space Marines. To be honest, none of the people who used mind control in the Terminus were as evil as you."
"The Emperor is the Great Demon King, you are the Daemon Princes, and the remaining Space Marines are the legions of little demons who are loyal to you. But the Space Marines in the Macragge sector next door seem quite normal, but it is the arrogance of some individuals that makes them I'm not happy."
"This is Grand Astartes, the pride that those who become Space Marines have in mortals." Dorn said.
"But they forget that they were just a group of mortals before. This is the disadvantage of genetic surgery. There will always be some idiots who treat themselves as a species higher than humans. We need more stringent review and selection standards for soldiers."
"I thought the Chapter's review was strict enough." Fulgrim said thoughtfully.
"It's not enough. The closed culture of the Space Marine Chapter is one of the reasons for their unruly arrogance. The outside world is worshiped by the ignorant people of the Empire, and the inside is an association of warriors who worship the Emperor. The organizational form of the Chapter needs to be dealt with, at least. Let these warriors fight together with the Astra Militarum, instead of fighting separately. Also, I have been thinking about the current improvement policy of the empire."
Odemeyer laid out her plan, not wanting to waste any time.
The souls of the Tau are almost invisible in the subspace, especially after Odemair installed the reliable Geller Stand on the Tau warships. As long as the Tau fleet is not too unlucky, it will happen to run into a subspace creature. On their faces, no demon would notice their presence.
They have become the main force of commerce in the Far East Sector, and will become the backbone of trade supporting the human empire in the future.
As for the Rogue Traders, these people are still worried about their positions being replaced by damn aliens, but Odemeyer said that they really think too much.
Based on the current business situation, even if the Rogue Trader fleet were increased 100 times, it would not be able to meet Odemair's needs.
However, some interesting things happened during Lin Fan's absence. A fleet of rogue traders broke away from the subspace storm. As soon as they came out, they submitted a trade certificate issued by the empire to Odemeyer.
Yes. Awarded by Warmaster Horus.
Odemeyer silently tore the proof into pieces, tested it with the Blackstone-enhanced Geller's stance and the Emperor's Icon, and then gave them a new mission.
Trade between planets needs to be established, and communication between planets is equally important. The Tau can fill the gap in the trade system, and the Eldar can fill the gap in cross-system communication.
"What? Let the Eldar control communications?" The Primarchs couldn't accept it. "If you hand over all power, we will be passive!"
Odemair just raised her hand to signal the Primarchs to calm down and let her finish her words.
"The Eldar are better at researching psionic energy than we are, right? They can be responsible for teaching us how to use psionic energy better. Besides, they are only supplementing the existing system, not completely replacing it. The talent gap in the empire is too big. No amount is too much for me.”
"But."
Odemair spoke about the process of Astropath communication, and when she finished speaking, the Primarchs' objections became much quieter.
An astropath is physically weak and mentally unstable, and every communication is a torture to himself.
They get ready in a secluded place to concentrate without being disturbed by the outside world. The meditation room may be a pure white soundproof room, or it may be a dark cave filled with blankets of occult symbols.
Astropaths surround themselves with portraits of the Emperor, various consecrated icons, and relics, purging themselves of distractions in the unceasing poetry that serves their skulls.
If this fails to achieve peace, they will use physical pain to drive themselves into a state of religious fanaticism.
After accessing the warp, they faced madness, inscribing inaccurate information in a whisper of madness.
"We need the psychic powers of the Eldar and the knowledge of the Webway." Odemair emphasized again.
The primarchs nodded slowly, and they temporarily accepted Odemair's suggestion. After all, they had fought side by side with the Death Army, and they could be considered a bit of comrades.
However, Lin Fan felt that Odemeyer's arrangement was a bit subtle. If the Eldar's webway could be used, then the Tau trade fleet might not be too important.
"So this is politics. If you want to build a stable alliance, everyone must be useful. The useless will have random thoughts and eventually become an unstable factor that destroys the alliance. And we have just started. Let's take it step by step and maintain the surroundings. It is already very difficult to effectively control a few star sectors. When the management scope spans half of the galaxy or even the entire galaxy, we will have to make new changes to adapt to the changes. In short, it is impossible for me to follow the path of the old empire a second time. "Odemeyer stretched out and asked Lin Fan to talk to the Eldar about cooperation.
There is no peace on the Ark of Bietan, either. Ifreni and the Prophet Council of Bietan are at war with each other.
These arks existed before the destruction of the Spirit Empire, and they carried too much history and memories. No Spirit clan wanted to see the place where their ancestors had lived fall apart.
This pain is even more difficult to accept when you can't afford to rebuild a house.
"When the sword is drawn, Bietan will be destroyed, and the compatriots in the infinite circuit will return to the arms of death."
"That God of Death, I don't mean any disrespect to the gods. If he wants to kill our great enemy, does he really only need five old woman's swords?"
"Uh." Ifreni looked a little embarrassed because of this question. Everyone could see her hesitation and guilty conscience. "In fact, there is another requirement, that is, 99% of the Eldar population must die before the power of death can be completely eliminated. Destroy Slaanesh."
Ifreni also asked Lin Fan if there was a way to avoid the death of the Eldar and awaken the power of the God of Death. She could not accept the idea of bringing the whole family together to live together for the whole world.
Lin Fan frowned and thought for a long time, and finally told Everenee a word: the seventh path.
Efreni looked at Lin Fan with twinkling eyes, thirsting for knowledge like a drowning man thirsting for air.
After watching Lin Fan make no movement for a long time, Efreni also urged him to speak quickly.
"That's all I know about the seventh path. I don't know the rest. You can just ask the God of Death."
"Death said nothing."
"Ah, the spirit god's virtues are unreliable. The emperor may be a bit deaf, but he is serious when he has something to do."
