Chapter 1899 Great Sorian Alliance
The reason Soshyan was late was to learn more about these humanoid races before the negotiations. As the forging world closest to the center of the galaxy, Angstrom It has been in contact with Tanren since its establishment, so it can be regarded as the imperial force that knows Tanren best in the entire empire.
However, due to the short man's strong vigilance, even Angstrom, who has been conducting secret trade with the short man for a long time, does not have much detailed information. Soshyan only learned a few key points from them. Point——
First of all, the history of short humans is very, very old, and it is very likely that it can be traced back to before the legendary Old Night, which was the era when mankind first suffered a huge blow and fell.
Secondly, the structure of short-form society is not based on the country. They have not even established a national organization. The basic unit of short-form society is the clan. Above the clan are guilds or companies, and above that are several or even It is an alliance of hundreds of guilds, so the society of short people also has a unified name - the Wotan Alliance.
As for the origin of the word Wotan, the most senior sage in Angstrom could not explain the reason. He just knew that the short people called it that.
The third point is that Angstrom can confirm that short people do live in the center of the Milky Way, but as we all know, the center of the Milky Way is the furnace of stars. In this crazy space, terrifying The original power of the universe is raging unchecked, and it is also raging with the scorching winds of stars. Although many races have tried to explore it for thousands of years, in the end, only countless broken remains were left. How did the short man end up in the center of the galaxy, which is extremely unsuitable for life? Producing and reproducing in the area where they live is a problem that is difficult to imagine.
The fourth point is the origin of the current group of short men. They represent the largest and oldest alliance of the Wotan Alliance, the Great Sorian Alliance.
This is a huge organization composed of hundreds of guilds, integrating manufacturing, logistics, ocean trade and military. It has been working closely with Angosto for the past thousands of years. Mu maintains trade exchanges. This is why Angstrom, as a small and medium-sized forging world, has the ability to build such magnificent defense facilities and star forts. This time Soshyan asked Angstrom about the short people. The matter finally came into contact with the Great Sorian Alliance.
And judging from the communication with Angstrom, the Great Sorian Alliance has actually always wanted to contact the Expeditionary Force. After all, the Maelstrom is very close to the center of the galaxy, and it is also the home of many Wotan Alliances. It is impossible for them not to care at all if such a huge war breaks out in this key area of the trade route.
After all, for discerning businessmen, the real opportunity to make a fortune is not in peace, but in war.
"Sorry, something has delayed me."
Soshiyang said with a smile, and then came to the other end of the table. The chair immediately receded automatically, and he sat on it. .
Eldergrim blinked and glanced at the closed door. The other party did not bring any guards.
As far as he knows, the more status a human has, the more he likes to show off. Even if it is not for safety, he still uses a large number of guards to show his status.
Could it be that the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Soshyan, was not here? Just one of his subordinates?
But looking at this man's demeanor and the gorgeous armor, he didn't look like an ordinary Astartes -
But Soshyan's following words dispelled his worries.
"I am Soshyan Alexey, the commander-in-chief of the Maelstrom Expeditionary Force. Are you Eldgrim's business liaison officer?"
Eldeg Reem nodded and replied in very standard High Gothic:
"It is a great honor to meet the supreme commander of the expeditionary force in person. I am Eldgrim. This time I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of the Great Sorian Alliance. Our long-term trading partner said that you need some help?"< br>
Soshiyang did not answer the question immediately, but changed the subject.
“When did you arrive at Angstrom?”
Eldergrim was a little unsure of what Soshyan meant, but he still responded cautiously.
“A week ago.”
"The red pirates had already blocked the route a week ago. How did you get in?"
Eldergrim immediately understood.
"We hate these pirates deeply. You can rest assured that all the clans of the Wotan Alliance will never associate with the servants of the Supreme Heaven. In human terms, Chaos is also the enemy we are wary of."
Soshyan waved his hand. "You misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just want to know how you entered Angstrom and what tools or techniques you used."
"Well, our logistics company has precise transmission technology. Although it cannot span a long distance, it is still not a problem for one galaxy."
Soshiyang blinked. He was just worried that the message could not be sent out. Isn’t this a pillow for sleeping?
But he didn't mention it immediately and changed the topic back to its original direction.
“Actually, I just accidentally saw a certain product you produced, and asked the Angstrom sages if they knew about the existence of short men. Unexpectedly, you guys came directly.”
“Short!?”
The furnace-born man with a strange mohawk and almost bare upper body showing off his large muscles seemed to be irritated by something in Soshiyang's words. He immediately turned his head and glared at him. Other furnace-born people also cast unkind glances at him. Gaze.
"It's okay, it's just that the humans have different names."
Eldergrim immediately reassured everyone, then rubbed his hands with the big ring, a look on his face A professional smile.
“Business opportunities must be proactively seized. In fact, the Alliance began to pay attention when the empire launched the expedition. The red pirates not only caused a lot of trouble to the empire, but also caused obstacles to our trade routes. This is A public nuisance, getting rid of them will be beneficial to everyone.”
“From your tone, you know the empire very well”
"I hold the title of human trade expert and have more than five thousand successful cases of human trade!"
Eldergrim looked very proud when he said this, and he indeed has the capital to be proud. The number of businessmen in the entire alliance who can achieve his performance can be counted on one hand.
Suoshiyang suddenly narrowed his eyes, and then his tone became cold.
"So you must be very aware of the attitude of the Empire and the Astartes towards aliens?"
Eldergrim's expression suddenly froze, and the atmosphere instantly became cold. down.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but Soshyan was always looking at Eldgrim.
“Who are you scaring!”
With a roar, the table shook, and the strong and stocky Hearthborn without any clothes or armor jumped directly onto the table, holding a hairy weapon in his hand. Plasma light battle axe.
“I know you elders don’t have any good stuff, why are you Astartes? A bunch of human bulldozers who only know how to kill and destroy. The only difference between you and the greenskins is that you have approved a person. Even if you are taller, you can't show off your power in front of the furnace!"
Eldergrim, who was so frightened that he was sweating, waved his hands quickly.
"Don't be excited! Don't be excited! Speak carefully if you have something to say! Don't use weapons! Come down quickly!"
Soshiyang suddenly stood up, then stretched out his hand at a speed that no one could react, and grabbed The opponent's ax handle. The Furnaceborn in the windbreaker was the first to react and immediately reached for his belt. Although they had all been taken away from long-range weapons, the Furnaceborn actually had many ways to hide micro-weapons, but when paying attention When the white-bearded old furnace man was still smoking his pipe leisurely, as if he didn't see anything, the windbreaker furnace man slowly lowered his hand.
On the other side, Soshyan made no further move, just held the handle of the axe, and then looked at the angry short-tempered man with a smile.
