Chapter 2765ヾ(^^)°Sejanus’s Negotiations

Among Horus's landing troops, the fourth company of Astartes Space Marines led by Fourth Captain Sejanus and the mortal auxiliaries, Mechanicus and Armored Legions were undoubtedly the most powerful.

The total number of troops who landed at the landing site reached an astonishing number of millions, far exceeding other landing sites and the troops led by generals.

And this is actually not surprising.

Because, unlike the cities or fortresses that other Astartes generals are responsible for attacking, Sejanus is responsible for the strongest, most powerful, largest number of soldiers, and most elite mine bases and

Return to the second base outside the market!

It can be said that it is the center of the entire Huagai Star ground garrison and the elite among the elite!

However, even though Sejanus had the largest number of troops and received the most comprehensive support from the Horus fleet, what is surprising is that his losses were the heaviest and the progress of the attack was also the slowest.

According to the original plan, he and his troops were supposed to capture the second base outside Gui Market within a month, and then attack the mine base in the mountains to the west of Gui Market and obtain the final ground.

It is only right to win the battle.

But the result...

Until now, he has been struggling and fighting here for nearly a month. Not only has his company and the mortal auxiliary army suffered heavy casualties, but the key is that he has not been able to complete the scheduled task, which is to capture the base outside the city and attack the enemy.

Launching the final general attack at the mine base?

What's worse is: not only did he fail to complete the scheduled task, he also failed to even touch the core defense line of the second base outside the market!

They had been struggling for so long, but they had only been fighting, fighting and consuming the outer defense line with the tenacious and elite garrison of Huagai Star stationed in Gui Market.

It is foreseeable that, according to the current situation, now and for a long time in the future, they are likely to be incompatible with each other and can do nothing about each other?

Of course, it is a bit understatement to say that there is nothing anyone can do, because during the long period of infiltration, raids, assaults, lurking, and various sabotage operations against landing sites and logistics bases, Sejanus and his

The troops were actually beaten to the point of disorientation and almost collapsed. Even at their peak, they had millions of troops and almost surrounded the entire Guiba Market. It was useless!

Especially those terrifying ghost agents on Huagai Star. Their endless infiltration and late-stage fusion attacks made them hard to guard against. Several attack plans were disrupted because of this. And the reason why there was no big deal in a month

The agents hiding in the shadows played a large part in the results of the battle.

Fortunately, Sejanus and his troops were backed by the Horus fleet, and the Huagai Star garrison returned to the market was mainly on the defensive, easily unwilling to leave the range protected by shields and defense lines, and never

Easily exposed to the muzzle of orbital strikes, they could barely sustain themselves for nearly a month and maintain the dignity of the attackers.

Then, until today, until the loss of his troops has been close to 30% to 40%, until Sejanus heard that the commander of the first company, Abaddon, had completed the mission issued by the original body, successfully obtained the things and began to retreat, and is now preparing to

After breaking away from the contact with the Canopy star garrison, the greenskins and the warp demons and returning to orbit, he knew that he did not have much time. Even if the original body did not send him any urging orders, he

He also knew that he had to do something, no matter what way it was.

then!

On the day Abaddon completed his mission and began to retreat, Sejanus conveyed his willingness to negotiate and negotiate with the garrison commander who returned to the market.

That’s right, it’s negotiation!

Although the two sides have been fighting for nearly a month, whether it is Sejanus as the attacker or the Huagai Star garrison as the defender, both sides have fought with real fire and suffered extremely heavy casualties. Even at this time, the Huagai Star

The battle above is still raging, but in this case, it is still possible for the two sides in Guiba Market to conduct partial ceasefires and negotiations.

Sejanus also thought so and did so. As a result, he really received a positive response from the garrison commander in the fortress of the Huagai Star's second military base outside the market, and agreed to his proposal.

Senior commanders prepared to conduct an armistice contact somewhere along the front lines of both sides.

Yes, at this moment, the two sides, who were a little tired from fighting, were really preparing to take a halftime break and negotiate. The result of the negotiation had nothing to do with the overall battle situation. Fighting should be fought elsewhere, and they were here.

The side stopped temporarily for a while.

In addition, neither the supreme commander Darius, who was commanding the fleet to harass and destroy the enemy in the universe at this time, nor the commander of the Horus Legion, the original body of the Horus fleet, gave any instructions to this, and they were considered to have directly acquiesced.

The two parties contacted each other, and the negotiation began.

It sounds weird, but the reality is it's just fucked up, it just happens.

Anyway!

The meeting and negotiation location was chosen on the front line, in a ruins at the midpoint of the confrontation between the two sides. The place was equally far away from both sides' fronts and within the attack and surveillance range of both sides. It seemed fair and 'safe' enough.

, and also provide precautions so that both parties can monitor the entire process, without having to worry about the other party making any small moves.

Of course, it is a bit inaccurate to say that the location is a ruin.

Because at this time, the ruins of the streets on the outskirts of Yuangui Market that were supposed to exist had long since been blown away due to the war in the past month. In their place, there were only a few abrupt and exposed steel and concrete poles on the flat ground.

Just a pitiful broken pillar.

But even then, the two parties slowly walked towards the ruins within the agreed time and stopped when they were face to face.

"..."

The senior officer of Huagai Star is an old officer who is about 60 or 70 years old. He was born in a shelter base on Huagai Star. At this time, the CMC armor he is wearing does not have any rank mark on it.

Behind him was Wang Qing's elite six-man team.

Yes, those six people are Wang Qing, Awen, Yue Han, Liu Li, Mai Kun and Mian Xing!

In the early stages of the war, after they completed the task of escorting the entropic spear, they obtained the help of the green skins, using a bizarre tool that seemed to be pieced together from a bunch of rags, without any principle or reason at all.

The strange radio station with advanced technology crossed the barrier of the red mist and contacted the mine base. Then, under the coordination of the mine base, they were quickly picked up by another stealth medical transport plane sent to the green skin territory and returned to the mine base.

, and then the wounded received good treatment quickly.

Then, after resting for a few days, after the wounded recovered, several of them were sent to the front line of Gui Market to participate in the battle. During this period, they also made contributions in offensive and defensive battles many times.

Therefore, the security work for today's important meeting naturally fell to these super elites who have performed very well before and recently, and can even fight against the powerful Astartes Space Marines individually.

On the assault team.

"..."

As for Sejanus' side, in addition to the fourth company commander Sejanus himself, they only brought six Astartes guards under their command.

Although their size and momentum were considered to be larger than those of Huagai Star, in terms of number, they followed the agreement between the two parties and did not bring anyone extra.

"Your Majesty Sejanus, long time no see."

"We meet again."

As the two sides approached, the commander of Huagai Star spoke first. His voice and the expression revealed from the open mask of the CMC armor suit were calm, as if two old friends were meeting.

"Yes, it's been a long time."

"Speaking of which, it's been a while since our last negotiation meeting at the mine base!"

Nodding, Sejanus said with emotion.

"After this period of fighting, I have to admit that even if you are just an ordinary mortal, your ability to command and control is very admirable."

"I didn't get any advantage at all!"

Although they are currently in a hostile state and relationship with each other, considering the excellent performance of the garrison in the market over the past month, even as a powerful Astartes, he has to deal with the opponent's toughness.

I sincerely admire my command and coordination abilities.

"mortal?"

"Ah!"

Recalling the previous meeting and negotiation between the two when Sejanus went to the mine base to negotiate, the old man, the commander of the Huagai Star, couldn't help but sneered.

"Anyway..."

"I, an old man, can't understand the idea of ​​​​big guys like you transforming people. Just like before, you still have the same aloof attitude."

"Honestly..."

"This is not a good negotiation attitude. Just like the last time we were at the mine base, aren't you worried that your trip will be in vain?"

In this way, under the protection and vigilance of Wang Qing and other six-man team, the commander wearing a CMC armored suit and representing the Huagai Star Return Market garrison walked up to the He who also stepped forward and represented the attacking side.

In front of Sejanus, the commander of the Russ army, the two stood three meters apart and began to chat.

Of course, there was actually nothing to exchange between the two parties.

Because, currently, the Huagai Star and the Horus Fleet are still fighting fiercely, and the two sides are in a state of war and hostility. Therefore, the so-called 'small talk' is just a dialogue full of taunting, ridicule, and gunpowder between the two sides.

"okay!"

"Commanding operations and so on are not my fault alone."

"Besides, there is nothing to show off in this kind of forced defensive battle. Aren't you here to negotiate?"

“Everyone’s time is limited, so please go straight to the topic!”

Then, before the other party could continue talking, the old commander of the Canopy Star shook his head and pointedly motioned for the other party to start quickly.

"That's exactly what it should be."

"That's fine!"

Hearing this, Sejanus paused, then nodded and said:

"After all, war is not the only way to solve problems."

"Maybe we can actually sit down and talk and find a mutually acceptable solution?"
