Chapter 384 Layout
……
Two days later.
Dawn Star.
"That ship..."
"Little girl, what price can you offer for that ship on behalf of your master?"
In the smoke-filled bar room, Theseus faced a middle-aged man with ragged clothes and a mouth full of rotten teeth.
They sat on opposite sides of a round table.
Next to Theseus stood Number Three, who was as cold as a machine. This man, who used to be a brick of flesh and was now a fanatical servant of the God, looked at the two people in front of him as if he were a corpse.
Next to the middle-aged man with a mouth full of rotten teeth stood a guy whose body was 80% mechanically modified.
The man twisted a cigar, took a deep drag and exhaled.
This was not a provocation. When he exhaled the smoke, he deliberately turned his face towards the guard next to him, avoiding Theseus.
"It's just an ordinary merchant ship. You decide the price." Theseus said in a calm tone, "I have other things to deal with... This matter is just a private matter for me."
The man twisted his cigar and pondered for a moment, then asked, "That ship is just a merchant ship from the 19th star system of your Great Nuceria. As the spokesperson for the Lord of the 12th Legion... it is not in keeping with your status to talk about a worthless little ship."
Theseus remained silent, neither explaining nor concealing.
After old Cramo agreed to go to Dawn Star in the future, Qin Xia immediately arranged for Theseus to retrieve the detained merchant ship for the Cramo family.
Theseus did not understand at the time, until she learned that her father, the mortal governor of Pompeii I Astartes, would be assigned to Dawn Star to manage the affairs of Dawn Star after Nuceria expanded again and occupied Dawn Star.
There is no need to explain these theses, because explanation is essentially the outflow of information.
She still cared more about the inflow and outflow of information, because the other party clearly expressed that "you are the spokesperson of the Lord of the Twelve Legions", and Theseus wanted to know where this information came from.
On second thought...
Theseus looked into the corner.
The spokesperson for the Imperial War Council member who had been introduced by the Mechanicus personnel sat there, still drinking a glass of expensive wine.
This person will be arranged to meet the Lord of the White Knights after Nuceria takes control of Dawnstar. Theseus realizes that part of his information may have been sold by this person.
And the other party hasn't figured out that he's not serving the Lord of the Twelve Legions, but the Lord of the White Knights, which means that guy hasn't sold all of his information.
In a way, this is a good thing.
People who are only interested in profit can get along well in this kind of environment.
"Name your price." Theseus thought quickly and said in a commanding tone.
"It's not worth much."
The man frowned and rubbed his cigar against his half-missing front teeth.
"I'll give it to you for free, with one more message. I don't know why you're in such a hurry to take that merchant ship back... Anyway, the merchant ship was seized by the Mechanicus. The woman dressed very wildly beside the Martian Forge General is in the Imperial System next to Dawn. She's not specifically targeting that merchant ship, but she issued an import and export control order, and that merchant ship just happened to be caught in the crossfire."
When Theseus heard the man mention a woman beside the Forge General, he recalled the female Mechanicus wearing slim bronze armor.
The man had appeared in the incident where Kelbohar was arrested before, and had saluted the Quadrant.
"Thank you." Theseus nodded coldly.
The man held out his hand. "Consider it a welcome gift. I run a gang in the Lower Hive, and your Fang knows how to find me. My master told me to tell you that he is not on the side of the War Council or the Mechanicus. If there is anything that needs to be communicated, he can act as a go-between..."
Theseus did not shake hands.
The man smiled, twisted his cigar, stood up, and left with his guards.
"What did he mean by 'teeth' just now?" Theseus looked at No. 3 who was standing beside him.
"It's a local term in the Dawnstar hive, used to describe lackeys, followers, and slaves." Number Three replied.
Theseus snorted coldly, thinking that the master of that guy just now was really smart, actually finding a local to be a pawn.
Then Theseus thought about who the guy's master was.
It's not the War Council, nor the Mechanicus. The answer is obvious: it's the people from the Imperial Parliament. It's just that the Parliament has not shown up yet, so most people just think they are Malcador's minions.
"That one over there." After thinking for a moment, Theseus waved to the man drinking in the corner.
The man came and sat down, and immediately asked, "When can I see the Lord or Primarch of the White Knights?"
"You will go to Nuceria with the merchant ship this time." Theseus said, "You'd better do as you said. There is something very important. Because of this, you need to report directly to the Lord of the White Knights."
The man nodded.
……
A month passed in a flash.
Theseus usually stays in a safe house arranged by Crobio.
The safe house looked like a mansion from the outside, but ninety-nine percent of the space inside was occupied by a large number of defensive weapons and armored walls, leaving only a small prison-like room for habitation.
A toilet and a bed are all that is provided in the small room.
If it weren't for the fact that the bed was actually a weapons cabinet, Theseus would have had to sleep on the floor.
The layout of this place is extremely shabby, but this is also a sacrifice of comfort in exchange for greater safety. If necessary, the small room inside this building can even rise from the ground, fly directly out of the atmosphere and return to the ship of the Society for the Study of Human History.
And this terrible living environment didn't seem like a big deal to Theseus.
She was trained as a gladiator at a very young age and lived in a crowded place with hundreds of children.
When I grew up, I followed the gladiators to fight everywhere, and I was used to it.
Theseus, who sat on the toilet as if it were a chair and ate with his lunch box in his arms, even felt from the bottom of his heart that this dining environment was quite good, much better than sitting on a corpse and eating dry food while smelling blood and gunpowder in the air.
In front of Theseus was a holographic projection showing Qin Xia's face.
The two were communicating at this time.
"The guy who insisted on meeting me a few days ago before he told me the information, he came to Pompeii 1 with the merchant ship and told me the information."
"This guy said that he could contact his master and help us get intelligence, so that we can know what the Empire will do before it takes any action."
"You did well on Dawnstar, Theseus."
"Although I have arrived at Dawn Star, I cannot show up for the time being, so don't come to see me for now." Qin Xia said.
Theseus smiled, with two dimples on his face: "I will do my best."
"You have an important responsibility, so just do your best, but don't take too many risks." Qin Xia advised, "Remember to do what you can and never act rashly."
Theseus nodded.
Then Qin Xia mentioned some other things.
"The merchant ship I asked you to help retrieve belongs to the Kramo family. Their patriarch has arrived at Dawn Star with me."
"As we speak, Nukeria has already begun to take over Dawnstar. I will need you to meet with Kramo and assist him in managing Dawnstar. As for security matters... a White Knight Librarian named Kamas will be in charge."
Hearing this, Theseus asked, "Am I no longer gathering intelligence?"
"No need. I think you have been known by people from other forces, so I am worried that they will kidnap you or something." Qin Xia said, "Besides, the Nukerian intelligence department is not just there to do nothing. They perform their duties very well and these people are very reliable."
Theseus nodded silently.
After saying what needed to be said, Qin Xia warned again: "Don't act rashly, and don't make decisions for Kramo. That guy is very reliable and capable. I have entrusted the affairs of Dawn Star to him."
Theseus nodded again.
Communication ends.
Theseus was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Qin Xia had already come to Dawn Star, and came with a man named Kramo.
She originally thought that Qin Xia would be in charge of the management of Liming Star...
After thinking about it, Theseus chose to leave the safe house and continue his duties.
Leaving the prison-like safe house.
Exit the fortress disguised as a mansion.
The guard named No. 3 still followed Theseus.
The two of them were walking down the street.
The Dawnstar Hive's lower nest is divided into three areas: one is where Nuceria's intelligence personnel gather, one is where Ultramar's intelligence personnel gather, and the other is where the War Council, the Mechanicus, and Malcador's forces are located.
Just as Qin Xia said, Nukeria has begun trying to control the entire Dawn Star.
The World Eaters' Stormhawk gunships landed on the street, and a team of Space Marines stepped out of the hatch and began to control the street.
This is just the beginning.
Theseus estimated that the soldiers of the Nuceria regular army would be responsible for law and order in the future, and the streets would be full of soldiers of the regular army.
Before the arrival of these Space Marines, Dawnstar was still a no-man's land located in the blank area between the three forces of the Empire, Ultramar, and Nuceria, so no force could take it.
And once these Space Marines appear on the streets, Dawn will belong to Nuceria.
But not just Nuceria's.
Theseus walked a few steps and saw a gunboat painted blue.
The gunship landed and some Space Marines in blue armor jumped out of it.
Theseus recognized them; they were from the 13th Legion, the Ultramarines.
The two teams of Space Marines lined up as the mortals watched. Their battle team leaders stood together and exchanged a few words with each other, then advanced on the street.
This means that Nuceria and Ultramar have reached a cooperation.
Apparently, when Qin Xia was making plans in Pompeii I, a galaxy next to Dawn, Angron was not idle either. He met with Guilliman and discussed some things.
Ultramar has begun to fulfill the agreement signed with Nuceria before the Randan War, which is to face the pressure from the Empire together.
"Long live Nukeria! Long live Ultramar!"
Crowds gathered on both sides of the street to greet the Space Marines from Nuceria and Ultramar, as well as all the red and blue gunships that were descending from above.
These are the people who support Dawnstar's belonging to Ultramar or Nuceria.
Two days ago, they were still able to clashed and fight on the streets over whether Dawnstar should belong to Ultramar or Nuceria, but now, the two groups with bandages on their heads can stand together to welcome the Space Marines of the 12th and 13th Legions.
Theseus couldn't help but sigh at how adaptable these people were.
Among all the gunboats descending in the sky, a white gunboat landed on the helipad in front of the gate of Crowe Biotech not far away.
Theseus happened to arrive there.
When the hatch of the gunboat fell, a think tank named Kamas came out with a middle-aged man. When he saw Theseus, he immediately nodded in greeting.
Theseus stepped forward.
"Hello, ma'am." Cramer bowed to Theseus.
"You are the administrator sent by the Lord of the White Knights." Theseus glanced at the environment of the Lower Nest, "I will assist you in managing this world. If you have some ideas about your mission, we'd better communicate."
Kramo didn't rush to answer. He subconsciously looked around and found that the environment here was worse than he had imagined. At the same time, he sighed that it was fortunate that the task given to him by the God was not to make this place less poor or to improve the environment, but to manage it.
Considering the current situation on Dawnstar, and between the Empire and Nuceria...
"I think it's unlikely that we can directly occupy the entire Dawn Star. The Empire will definitely stop us before we completely control Dawn Star." Kramer said, "So I personally think we should be prepared to divide the areas in this hive world and manage it together with the Empire."
Theseus nodded in agreement.
It is obvious that the Empire will not let Dawn Star fall into Nukeria's hands so easily. They plan to make something of Dawn Star.
The shared management that Cramer speaks of is bound to be a foregone conclusion.
"I decided to let Pompeii I provide manpower and resources, with the entire Nuceria as the backing, to make the areas on Dawn Star that can be managed by us become..." Kramo looked around again, "less bad, and thus form a sharp contrast with the management of the Empire. This is all I can do, and the rest is not something that someone of my status is qualified to interfere with."
"I will help you contact Pompeii 1," Theseus said, "and the star system in Ultramar that is very close to Dawn can also provide manpower and resources. Just go ahead and do it."
Hearing this, Kramo glanced at the Space Marines on the street who were expelling Imperial personnel.
The World Eaters and the Ultramarines are joining forces.
Cramer bowed to Theseus again: "That's really great."
