Hierophant Sotai stared at Guilliman, his green eyes examining the Emperor's Son.

"If you are unwilling to form an alliance, will you consider the Sotai Dynasty as your next enemy?"

"That depends on you. The human empire needs to examine the risks you bring. If there is any danger, you must be eliminated."

Guilliman smiled, but his words were chilling.

It's full of threats.

Either cooperate with humans or be eliminated by humans.

"Are you really so confident that you can destroy the Sotai Dynasty? Other powerful dynasties will not sit idly by and watch humans wage war against the Undead. Your actions will only bring terrible disasters to humanity."

King Sotai has lived for countless years, how could he be convinced by just a few words

He assessed Guilliman's words, weighing the terms of negotiation.

Even now, there are constant internal conflicts between dynasties.

But if the human empire pushes too hard, they will unite to fight against humans.

By then, neither side will gain any benefit.

Hearing King Sotai's words, Guilliman smiled and stretched out his hand.

The Casting General Kren bowed respectfully and ordered the Mechanical Priest to play some images in binary language.

Beams of light were projected from devices located throughout the deck, forming holographic projections that covered the entire deck.

The video being played was a recording of the Empire's attack on the Orcs' core star field, the arsonists' base camp, and the Gorod galaxy.

A gigantic Colossus of Sky Punishment was thrown into the battlefield, and a huge star-destroying beam swept across the dark and cold void, completely destroying the celestial-level battle moon.

This scene shocked King Sotai and many high-ranking undead leaders.

The logic module inside the skull was running at high speed and was slightly hot, and coolant was continuously released to help cool it down.

Before entering the Glory of Macragge, they had seen the massive warship.

It has a diameter of thousands of kilometers and is extremely huge.

Countless huge cannons stand on the fortress that looks like a winding mountain range.

The most frightening of all are the three metal towers, which are etched with countless electromagnetic patterns. They are extremely complex and give people a very bad feeling.

"You have such weapons, and so do we. This does not threaten us. We have existed for a long time. With your current means, don't even think you can fight against us."

"Perhaps in terms of population, you have surpassed many dynasties, but our technology is beyond your imagination."

King Sotai pretended to be calm and showed no fear at all.

"This is just one of them." Guilliman smiled. "Another one is being repaired. After a few months, more giant warships will be put into the battlefield. Those warships will be stronger, more powerful, and have more fierce firepower."

"As technology matures, the time required to create such a huge thing will become shorter and shorter. By then, the human empire will be able to continuously create these behemoths. How many dynasties do you think will be able to withstand such a terrible offensive?"

"Such a huge metal beast must use a huge amount of resources. Your warmongering will only lead to the doom of mankind." King Sotai said, "By that time, the Undead will not be defeated yet, but humans will be dragged down by their own ambitions."

"This is exactly the second advantage I want to tell you about. These giant warships are cheap to build, and their parts can be recycled. When the technology matures, the process and cost can be further reduced."

Guilliman looked at King Sotai in front of him with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Its overall structure is made of a specially tempered alloy, and other areas are made of marble or other casting materials. You can even think of it as a mobile space station. Its performance may not be as good as your giant creations, but in terms of production speed, humans have long surpassed you."

"You can continue to choose to fight for those overlords, but don't forget. Even if you defeat humans, you will have to continue to serve those powerful dynasties. If you cooperate with me, you will have the opportunity to become the supreme leader who rules the space undead."

"To me, exterminating you is a choice that is not worth the cost. Humanity has many enemies, Chaos, Zerg, and the aliens that are harassing the border. The threat they bring is much greater and more direct than yours."

King Sotai looked at the human in front of him, his dark green eyes flickering, "What do you mean? Do you want to take my people as your vassal?"

“No, we are allies,” said Guilliman, “but I will provide you with certain assistance to ensure that you can defeat the other dynasties and complete the unification of the Necrons. In this way, your alliance with me will be far more beneficial.”

"Think about it, those overlords, even if your dynasty is destroyed by the human attack, will they have any mercy? You fight to the death for the Space Undeads, what will be left in the end? "

"Cooperate with me, and you will have the opportunity to unify the Undead, and even have the opportunity to find a way to reverse your current physical condition and restore your previous flesh and blood."

King Sotai and the high-ranking officials of many dynasties looked at each other in surprise.

The green pupils in the metal eye sockets looked at each other.

The huge Colossus of Sky Punishment was floating there.

If they choose to be the enemy of humans, it will be a piece of cake for them to be destroyed by the other party.

Even if the Saken Dynasty allied with them, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot and would only bring about its own destruction.

After thinking for a long time, King Sotai and many high-ranking officials of the dynasty finally nodded and agreed to cooperate.

The Undeads continue many of the systems of the Necrontyr, with a strict hierarchy and strength as the primary concern.

For the great overlords, the demise of a small dynasty would not be taken seriously at all.

"This is truly a blessing. At this moment, we all represent the beginning of friendship between the two races." Guilliman said with a smile.

Afterwards, the two discussed some matters regarding cooperation.

Hierophant Sotai provided Guilliman with the loopholes and origin codes of the Necrons' defense protocols.

And help him collect the latest movements of the Undead.

After Guilliman destroyed those Crown Worlds, he handed them the Master Protocols, allowing them to control the people of those Dynasties.

After the cooperation matters are determined, the Saken Dynasty will be the best touchstone.

If the protocol code provided by King Sotai is correct, then the many defense protocols of the Sakken Dynasty are completely useless against the Human Empire.

In other words, the Sakken Dynasty is completely defenseless to the Human Empire.

The Sotai Dynasty also just needs to see whether Guilliman will give him the master control agreement of the Sarken Dynasty.

If you are willing, then the covenant and transaction will continue.

If they are unwilling, the talks will naturally break down.

With the master control agreement obtained, King Sotai can continue to expand his dynasty.

The next Sarken dynasty would become the philosopher's stone of the alliance between the two parties.

... ... ... ... ... ... .

After confirming the cooperation matters.

King Sotai did not stay for too long and left directly.

Guilliman watched as the enemy fighters withdrew from the deck of Macragge's Glory.

"My Lord, I don't understand." Fikris said. "We clearly have the power to destroy them, why do you still do this? This will inevitably lead to you being questioned and accused by Terra."

"Let them be." Guilliman looked at Fikris. "Our current mission is to resolve the problems caused by the Great Rift, rebuild the Empire, and protect the people of the Empire from the harm of the xenos and chaos."

"Fikris, always remember one thing. We hold swords not only for honor, but also to protect our people. If honor and protection conflict, then we can only choose one."

Guilliman turned and walked towards the deck's exit.

Kron and Fikris followed closely behind.

"The technology of the Necrons is superior to ours. With the revival of many dynasties, their strength is slowly increasing. But time is still on our side. As long as we complete the reconstruction of the empire, we can use the resources of 2/3 of the galaxy to destroy all enemies."

"Isn't it a good deal to let them use the secrets of their race in exchange for their own survival and an illusory dream of unification?"

Guilliman looked at Kren, who was floating on an anti-gravity platform. "With the code of their defense protocol, can the Mechanicus break through the tomb pyramid of the Necrons?"

"The computer operating capacity of the Mechanicus is completely incomparable to those of the Undead, but with the help of waste code and viruses, we can still affect them, or even paralyze them. The problem is that the time is very short. It is estimated that at most half an hour, the other party will parse the core code of the virus and kill them."

"Half an hour is enough." Guilliman said, and then looked at Fikris, "Order all troops to speed up. We need to deal with the Sarken Dynasty as soon as possible."

"I see," said Fikris.

... ... ... ... ... ... .

The Voltria system.

With the appearance of the subspace rift, brilliant rays of etheric light illuminated the entire dark void.

Calgar's flagship and many warships supporting the Watria system jumped out of the subspace and entered the real universe.

Before the navigator and communications director could send standard signals and protocols to the Imperial spaceport in the Watria system.

A series of information flooded into the support fleet's communication channels and databases.

By analyzing this information, the supporting Imperial forces soon realized that a terrible rebellion had broken out in the Watria system.

The rebellion affected every planet in the galaxy, as well as space stations, mining platforms, and more.

Karga's expression became extremely solemn.

He also never expected that even though the Tyranids did not come, a rebellion broke out within the Watria galaxy.

This will have some impact on his plans.

Just as he was suppressing his terrible anger and thinking about how to complete the Primarch's mission under such bad starting conditions.

A communication request was connected to the support fleet channel.

None other than the planetary governor of Watria.

They discovered the Imperial fleet that jumped into the real universe and immediately initiated a communication request to them.

"We have been betrayed, those damned lowly bugs have turned against the great Primarch and the Emperor, my Lord."

The planetary governor wailed, "They have killed many loyalists of the Empire, and have torn down the statues of the Empire's gods and replaced them with blasphemous xenos statues."

"We strongly request that you quickly suppress those damned bastards and prevent them from further harming the Empire. Protect those of us who are loyal to the Emperor, the Empire, and the Primarch."
