Warhammer: Just unified the Empire, you said it was 40K

Chapter 138: Adding 20 Billion People and Crossing the Gulf of Damocles

People in the middle and upper levels of the hive.

An agreement has already been reached with the Tau Empire.

They are the backbone of the resistance against the Gamma World.

The people that the Gamma World wants to win over are from the Lower Nest and the Bottom Nest World.

If those soldiers fighting for the Tau Empire are willing to turn over a new leaf, they can even give them a chance.

Before the Gamma World entered this world.

The Titanium people brought in by trade have already tried to pave part of the way for their entry.

Idamas has only one goal in bringing people into this world.

That is to capture the lower-class humans of this hive and relocate them to the industrial 1-star Tanger world.

Hive world.

It is a layered city similar to a honeycomb city.

The upper and top classes are generally inhabited by nobles and elites.

They control the resources of the entire world.

The middle level is where ordinary people live.

The lower level is where the poor live.

The bottom floor is where criminals live.

Because the lower and lower levels often lack lighting, the living environment here is harsh and the crime rate is high all year round. In addition, due to technological regression and human destruction, the garbage and industrial waste generated by the hives are directly discharged into the environment. Most of the surfaces of these hive worlds are toxic deserts and uninhabitable wastelands.

Keynes.

He is currently a boss at the lower level.

After the expedition war broke out in the Tau Empire and the planet was captured, several attempts were made to communicate, but due to their control over the lower and lower levels.

The Tau Empire has never been able to take the entire lower level of the hive.

And because Keynes and others were familiar with the lower level, even the lurker team failed after entering many times.

And then they learned that the humans in the Gamma World had the same interest in them.

And after Keynes dealt with the Titanium people who smuggled in from the Gamma World.

They decided they could make a deal with the people of Gamma World.

In the hive city, the thing that is least lacking is population.

Two hive worlds with a population of nearly one billion. Even if only half of them are real civilians, even if none of the millions of elites and nobles can be taken away, even if only the poorest mortals are taken away, it is still a profitable business for the Gamma World.

Idamas's arrival was to facilitate the negotiation of this condition.

"Commander Skech, we have arrived at the lower hive."

"Well, the Governor is coming back. You must facilitate the negotiation of this cooperation before the Governor arrives. If necessary, you will take control of this lower world."

"Understood, leave it to us!"

Idamas' first mission was against pirates.

This is the second time to carry out the mission.

Their task is no easier than those fighting outside.

Because whether these humans they want to absorb can follow the rules of the Gamma World is an unknown, and whether the number of poor people at the bottom is really worth the Gamma World wasting some time for them is also an unknown.

In the iron fortress, black is almost the eternal law of the entire hive.

Walking on the rusty steel, any sporadic light around is as dazzling as the sun in the dark. Almost in the blink of an eye, it will attract a devastating attack from unknown aliens or mutants lurking in the darkness.

But Idamas and others walked openly with their lights on towards the inner world of the Keynes Hive Gang. It was not because they had a good relationship with the other party, but because they had killed hundreds of these guys who blocked their way.

Above their heads, there were already a lot of movements indicating that the people in the lower nest had quietly been keeping an eye on them.

But there are more than 300 transformed soldiers of the expeditionary force here, and they broke into the hive world in the name of an army.

They don't care.

negotiation.

It doesn't mean that negotiations will start only after meeting.

The Gamma World is showing off its military power. They are not here to negotiate, but to demand what they should do.

Idamas was already merciful. After all, they had a portion of the Salamander's gene-seed in their bodies, which prevented them from going too far. However, if the enemy kept testing them, they would not have the patience to play games with them.

A Hive Shadow Assassin in the darkness fell before Idamas and his army.

Although they were mortals, they had no fear of the giants in front of them. It was not like they had never dealt with the Tau Empire before. Even the Tau Empire had to abide by the rules of the underground hive once it entered it.

"Take off your armor and lay down your weapons before you can meet the Emperor of the Underworld."

"."

"."

Idamas didn't have time to chat with him. "Or, take me to see your boss, Caines, now."

"Haha. You think."

Keynes waited for the bargaining chip that the Human Empire would bring to the table.

The Tau Empire promised him that he could gain new citizens of the Tau Empire and even become an ambassador between humans. He was also looking forward to what bargaining chips the Gamma World could bring him. If the human world could not give him enough bargaining chips, why should he cooperate with humans?
Keynes listened to his men's reports.

His eyes and ears are spread throughout the entire hive. He is the most informed force in the hive. Those "little birds" that are the least noticed in the hive are his eyes and tongue.

"The Tau Empire and the human Gamma World are fighting."

'The Tau Empire established a front and air defense rails'

"The Human Empire's navy cannot approach this world."

"Humanity airdropped some soldiers to negotiate with them."

'Soldiers enter the Corridor of Pain'

"The assassin sent by a certain war gang was killed in the Corridor of Pain."

"The soldiers from the Gamma World are coming here."

While Keynes was listening to the report.

The commotion outside had caught his attention.

A door was kicked open.

The guards around Keynes quickly took precautions. A demihuman, whose body had mutated, becoming extremely strong but with a very low IQ, instantly flew into a rage and rushed towards the direction of the door. However, a hand directly pinned his head.

Then he stepped on the ground.

With absolute force, he crushed the subhuman's brain.

The shadow assassin sent by Keynes was smashed heavily to the ground, leaving a bloody mark on his body on the rough ground. After rolling over ten times, he was completely dead.

Behind a warrior in red-painted silver armor, four Space Marines holding automatic bolt carbines appeared.

Behind him, there was an exchange of gunfire and screams that were too late.

Idamas looked at Keynes who was trying to run away and shot him, "Keynes, right? We are here to negotiate!"

"."

"."

Negotiations in Gamma World.

It's that simple.

What an equal trade.

What you come and I go.

What a worldly thing.

That is something that does not exist at all.

Negotiate with you.

The basic meaning is that I put forward a condition.

Either you agree, or I make you agree.

As for other options?

Sorry.

Gamma World did not give it.

When Keynes took the opportunity to gain huge benefits from the Gamma World.

But I didn't expect it.

The Gamma World negotiations do not offer any benefits to the Tau Empire. The only choice is either you give it to me, or I force you to give it to me.

"good."

It took Idamas some effort to get information about this world from Keynes. This world did have civilians, and their number was indeed quite large, although it was less than the current population of tens of billions in the Gamma world.

Two billion people are still people, and maybe they can bring some talents to the Gamma World.

If there were not some people in this world, they might have directly launched an extinction attack on this world. I heard that the giant synaptic condenser is already under construction, and the planetary transformation device of the Golden Age is also about to enter the production sequence. Once the two are gathered together, all planets can be destroyed first and then rebuilt to create a world like the ideal city, or a world like the forging world.

"Commander Skech, our negotiations with the Lower Nest are going very smoothly, and the surviving members are very willing to cooperate. I will send the population distribution data to headquarters."

"Okay, since this planet is worth taking, let's take it as soon as possible."

"receive."

Keynes looked at the human in front of him. He was not trustworthy and was not even as good as the Titanium Man!
Although he himself has never talked about credit.

I have no intention of keeping my word with these humans.

"I have already cooperated with you, you"

"Don't worry, if you cooperate with us, we will definitely find a place for you." Being able to organize such an intelligence network, he must have some strength. There should be a company that will take him in to work for Gamma World.

Outside, after learning that the planet was worth taking.

The Gamma World will naturally not carry out the extermination order.

"Send more people."

"Take this planet! The Governor is on his way."

Two billion people.

Equivalent to one-fifth of the population of Gamma World.

Once they are born, the population may increase by about one billion per year.

Even if the proportion of high-quality newborns that can be obtained from this one billion population is very low, it is still very worthwhile for the Gamma World to fight for it.

The soldiers were very excited when they heard that the governor was about to arrive.

"Yes!"

"For the future of mankind!"

"Humanity first!"

"Humanity first!"

The Gulf of Damocles.

The mighty human empire navy set out into the Gulf of Damocles.

The home world of the Tau Empire is heavily guarded.

More than thousands of starships are stationed outside the home world, eyeing the fleet of the human empire.

The Ether of the Supreme Council now all had their eyes fixed on the human fleet in the Bay of Damocles.

In that place where space storms and the power of the warp rage.

The fleet of the Human Empire forced its way across the extremely dangerous Damocles Gulf.

A fleet stained with blood.

It seemed as if they had emerged from the subspace. The Geiger stand on the hull had not yet been removed, but the void shield had already been activated. The ships from the Imperial Regiment had forcibly crossed the so-called "alien" border.

The Void and the Warp cannot stop the Emperor's loyal angels.

One ship.

Two ships.

three.

The densely packed fleet, no one knew when it would gather within that time.

However, they share a common goal.

"The holy relic resonated?"
