Chapter 1901 The Furnace Elders
At the same time, they do not use high-tech tools to replace manual labor like other tribes, but use powerful mining equipment such as heavy plasma battle axes and concussion hammers to perform high-intensity physical operations. , but those things in their hands are not just tools, but more like powerful destructive weapons. Coupled with the unique bad temper and rock-like stubbornness of the deep rock miners, they are called deep rock berserkers.
Many times, they are also willing to use the tools on their hands to severely teach those who dare to interfere with their mining. When necessary, they will also join the Iron Oath to fight.
Although the other party just made rude remarks, Soshiyang still responded with a gentle smile and nodded slightly.
“Hello, Chief Graham, I hope we have learned something about each other through the exchange just now.”
Soshyan showed his kindness, but the other party just glared at him.
“This time when Patriarch Graham came, there were actually other things to do.”
Eldergrim rubbed his hands and said to Soshyan with a smile:
"Now that the war situation seems to be at a stalemate, do you need some security contracting business?"
Mercenaries are also a major business of the Great Sorian Alliance, and there have been many organizations in the empire for a long time. He and other forces have privately hired Hearthborn, especially the Rogue Trader and the Inquisition, but the scale is very small, and the largest record is only one Iron Oath.
This time the Empire fought so lively, and it was at the doorstep of the Wotan Alliance. After observing for a while, the Great Thorian Alliance judged that the war would be difficult to end in a short time, and the number of Astartes in the Empire was too small, and most of them were " "Cannon fodder" must be in great need of elite combat forces. The only problem is that they have not dealt with the true official military personnel of the Empire, let alone the Astartes.
But you still have to try. If it succeeds, it may be the largest military contracting business since the establishment of the alliance.
Soshiyang looked at the other person, blinked, and then spit out three words.
“Mercenary?”
“Almost, it depends on how you understand it.”
Soshyan spread his hands.
"But I know almost nothing about you. From military equipment to organizational beliefs, as well as who you have had bad relations with and who you have cooperated with, they are all blank."
"䱱Pay the money and we'll help you destroy those pirates, all you need to know is this!"
Graham shouted, with a loud voice that could penetrate almost any soundproofing device.
“As for those useless things, just say whether you want them or not. We won’t waste time if you don’t want them!”
This upright temper amused Soshyan, and he suddenly remembered that he should actually ask Veronica first. Ada should know the Hearthborn better.
As if expecting Soshyan to say this, Eldgrim walked over with a smile, holding a transparent screen similar to a data pad in his hand.
“Take a look.”
After Soshiyang took it, the screen immediately projected a clear three-dimensional picture in mid-air, and he immediately placed it on the table.
The picture is actually a promotional advertisement, which introduces some basic information of the Great Sorian Alliance, and then some details and examples of their military contracting business, as well as an introduction to some equipment and personnel.
The basic structure of the Iron Oath is the Hearthborn wargroup. An Ironsworn regiment is composed of about 15-20 Hearthborn wargroups. The commander is the wargroup leader. Under the Hearthborn wargroup, there are 10 Hearth squads, consisting of 10-20 Hearth warriors. It is composed of an experienced furnace heart leader, and is equipped with many huge and sturdy vehicles. It seems that the vehicles are very powerful according to the promotion, but there are no specific data and names. It also includes some Farstriders and Engineers, so There are about 2,000-4,000 people in an Ironsworn group, but usually around 3,000.
In addition, there is no introduction in the fleet. Soshyan guessed that either they paid extra, or they did not provide fleet employment services.
He guessed it was the former. Judging from the current communication situation, short people rarely have problems that cannot be solved with money - of course, the premise is that you have no enmity with them or are not disgusted by them.
After reading it, Soshyan did not express an opinion, but looked at the furnace descendant who looked like an engineer.
“Let’s introduce the other two first, otherwise it would be too rude.”
As soon as these words came out, Eldergrim immediately felt that something was going on, so he turned his arm to the person in the second row on his right.
“This is Master Aliyev, a diamond-level machine forger, and the director of the Brok Castle Foundry. The armor and weapons he makes are the best and most trustworthy.”
Soshyan nodded towards the other party. "Master Aliyeu, if I have the opportunity, I would like to see your works."
Aliyeu nodded in response. Obviously Soshyan's attitude made his attitude also change. Softened some.
"You can do it at any time."
At this time, it was the last one, and the one who Soshyan felt the most mysterious.
Because the other party has never looked at him, but it seems that he has been looking at him.
“This is one of the most respected masters of Grimnir, also known as the Walker master of the Fire of Wotan. He is also one of the oldest Hearthborn. Boundless wisdom and knowledge.”
Although the introduction was not much, Soshiyang guessed that this should be similar to the sacrificial elders in the tribe, and there is a high probability that he is a psyker, otherwise he would not have it. The feeling of being spied on.
This kind of person should have a very distinguished status. Why would he appear in a negotiation meeting?
To show respect, Soshyan stood up and stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Master Walker."
Walker took another sip, then turned his head, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then held Soshiyang's finger.
“Sorry, your hands are too big.”
Although he sounded gentle when he spoke, he was as calm as a rock.
"Ha, it doesn't matter. To express friendship, you only need to know each other. Actions and forms are secondary."
When Soshiyang sat back, Walker nodded.
“Yes, yes, it is indeed different.”
“What is different?”
"You are different from most Astartes and even humans. The Destiny guessed it correctly. You are an enlightened person and will not be swayed by narrow racial and religious prejudices."
Soshiyang grinned. A smile.
"This is not considered a compliment in the empire."
"So this is the problem——"
The old furnace man took a puff of cigarette and then slowly exhaled it The outline of a planet, and even a small satellite can be seen orbiting it.
"Human beings, when did they become like this? And when did mistakes begin to be considered acceptable and correct? When our ancestors were so ambitious and entered the Milky Way from the small solar system, did they ever think that they would be like this? At this moment? "
Suoshiyang looked at the other party and suddenly asked a question that even he found strange.
"Master Walker, I would like to ask, how long have you lived?"
The old furnace man coughed and laughed twice, and then blew the planet away in one breath.
“For a sentient individual, is the length or breadth of life more important?”
Soshiyang blinked, not knowing whether the answer was an avoidance or another reference, so he turned to ask:
"Then why did you come here?"
