Chapter 97 has grand ambitions.
All the Astartes around could see the purpose of this action.
Everyone here is smart; before becoming an Astartes, they were already incredibly powerful figures at the peak of physical strength, mental fortitude, and faith.
After becoming an Astartes, he became even more powerful, so everyone could see through his trick.
But what made them feel awkward and caused their lips to twitch was...
Logas McLean was indeed affected.
Lyca Faith and Ramesos both silently turned their faces away, as if observing the construction of the space station.
Luckily, they were all wearing helmets, otherwise they would have been embarrassed by this shameless guy.
Tie Hui, however, was not ashamed at all, and looked at Logas with a smile on his face like a fly rubbing its hands.
As an Astartes and a Chapter Master, Logas had naturally discovered this guy's purpose long ago.
but……
I was really affected.
In an instant, a sense of humiliation at being mocked by a mortal surged into his heart, and he immediately wanted to draw the explosive pistol from his waist and shoot this guy in the head.
But looking at the fragrant Emperor Cookies in his hand, and then at Tie Hui, who had finished the Emperor Cookies and was full of energy!
Finally, suppressing his humiliation, he said, "Naturally, we want a long-term partnership and a stable supply."
Tie Hui straightened his back instantly: "Your Excellency, Chapter Commander, there are plenty of chapters, the Navy and even the Astral Army, that want to cooperate with us. You're just talking a little and expecting a long-term partnership and a stable supply? That's wishful thinking. You should know that we supply those Navy and newly established armies with supplies in bulk; there's no basis for any so-called long-term stable supply."
"Then what do you want to do?" Logas was getting angry.
Isn't this a blatant price increase?
I am Astartes, the angel of the Empire.
And I'm also a battle group leader!
Which of the mortals I met wasn't an inquisitor, or even a planetary governor?
Even so, one still has to bow and scrape respectfully.
And yet you're the one who stands out from the crowd, acting all high and mighty.
Who gave you the courage?
Emperor?
Tie Hui sensed the annoyance in his voice and chuckled, saying, "Long-term cooperation and a stable supply are certainly desirable. However... as you know, Commander, I'm a wandering merchant, and my fleet recently suffered heavy losses during a chaotic invasion. It's practically a small business now, so I wonder what you can offer in this long-term cooperation?"
Upon hearing this, Logas immediately mustered his courage and was about to speak, saying that he could sit in this sector to ensure the safety of the cargo, and no one would dare to touch it.
Tie Hui seemed to have guessed what he was going to say and immediately interjected, "Hey! Commander, please don't talk about being in charge of this area and ensuring the smooth and safe flow of goods. My business involves not only the State Religion, but also the Mechanical Religion..."
He then pointed to the 20-odd Astartes following behind him and said, "The Blood Angels, the Black Templars, the Lamenters, the White Panthers, and even a chapter at my headquarters—a total of five chapters, six factions cooperating with us. Do you think I need this so-called route protection?"
Upon hearing this, Logas's initial momentum instantly dissipated.
To be honest...
Are their battle groups wealthy?
They weren't particularly wealthy, and relied heavily on the Empire and the Mechanicus for daily supplies.
We can't possibly use supplies for trade, can we?
As for using the warband's resources...
just forget it.
Those treasures include relics unexpectedly seized during battles throughout the ages, or trophies of black-box technology seized from the lair of the Sloth during the battles.
If this were taken out, it would either be an insult to our ancestors or we would be waiting for the court to come and search our home.
"So what do you want?" Logas was also annoyed, his attitude returning to its previous indifference.
Tie Hui didn't waste any more time and got straight to the point: "It's very simple! As long as the battle group leader can do one thing for me, I guarantee a long-term stable supply of materials, and I will not ask for a single penny of payment."
Upon hearing this, Ramesos and the others behind him stared in shock at the young man before them.
Good grief, you're offering them a long-term, stable relationship without expecting payment.
You give us long-term stability, yet you demand payment and expect us to fight.
Isn't that a double standard?
Thinking that this guy's partner was the Black Templar, I gave Lyca Faith a resentful look.
Lyca Faith felt a little uneasy under those gazes and turned her head away again.
Logas nodded, indicating that it made sense.
Helping them simply means asking them to send some support and work together to complete the mission.
If that's all there is to it, then I can help, since it could facilitate a long-term, stable supply partnership.
These Emperor cookies really worked for them.
"In that case, we will send support forces to complete the mission with you. As long as you keep your promise afterwards and guarantee long-term stability..."
Before Logas could finish speaking, Tie Hui interrupted him, saying, "Wait a minute."
Logas sighed.
Tie Hui looked at the guy with some displeasure.
At this point, you should make your own demands; you can't let the other party speak first.
"It's not just about that. We also hope that your esteemed legion can safeguard our fleet's shipping lanes and cargo stability here, and serve as a transit point for our goods. We will also be traveling from here to the Halo Stars from time to time, so we hope you can expand outwards a little bit every now and then. It doesn't have to be too far, just a temporary base will suffice." Tie Hui made what he considered to be a very useful request.
Because he had already made up his mind that once he had the strength, he would expand outwards from here to the Halo Stars.
Let's see if we can store all the good stuff we've plundered from all the heavens and the myriad worlds within the Halo Stars.
But the most important thing is to clear out all those aliens and other random things in the Halo Stars.
Of course, that's all for the future.
The most important thing now is to select a good goalkeeper.
He thought the Stormwatcher Chapter was quite good, after all, they often fought against Shrews.
Many times they have ventured beyond the Imperial Star Torch's range, but not very far, merely wandering around the periphery.
But that's enough.
The presence of an Astartes Chapter here is enough to deter many people.
Moreover, the Stormwatch Chapter has always been a reclusive chapter with a depressing atmosphere and a reluctance to communicate with outsiders.
This would be an excellent tool for guarding the gate.
Logas looked at the mortal before him, and was filled with shock and anger.
This kid has big ambitions.
