Chapter 1387: Children of the People Legion, Executing the Broken Bone Empire Extermination Mission (1)

Diplomatic delegation rest area, Tailesi's room.

Gaiwusi sat on the sofa, while Tailesi stood before the window, watching the squad of black-armored soldiers patrolling outside.

"Lord Tailesi, what do you think of Guilliman's terms?"

Gaiwusi asked.

Tailesi did not turn around.

"More lenient than expected. A Secondary Citizen is not a Second-class Citizen; at least we don't have to go to planets with harsh environments to labor all day. Our compatriots in the Canaan Star Alliance still have basic living guarantees. Guilliman did not mention limits on garrison numbers, did not mention resource compensation, and did not mention war reparations. He only requested unified command in diplomacy and military affairs, as well as the classification of citizenship."

He turned around.

"Gaiwusi, do you know what this means?"

Gaiwusi shook his head.

Tailesi said, "It means the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance does not want to turn the Canaan Star Alliance into a colony. They want the Bode Star System to see that within the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance, a Secondary Citizen is also a citizen, not a slave."

Gaiwusi lowered his head.

"Lord Tailesi, I am not reconciled."

Tailesi walked over and sat down opposite him.

"Not reconciled? I am not reconciled either. But is being not reconciled useful? Our fleet cannot defeat the Zerg, and our army cannot stop the invasion. The Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance is willing to take us in and is willing to give us the status of Secondary Citizen; that is already mercy."

Gaiwusi raised his head.

"Lord Tailesi, what kind of person do you think the Emperor is?"

Tailesi thought for a moment.

"He is a person who can make all these Primarchs willingly call him father. Such a person would not be a petty one."

"Lord Tailesi, when are we going back?"

"After the celebration ends."

"Lord Tailesi, I am going to write the report."

"Mm, go ahead."

Yingzhou's study.

Guilliman stood before Yingzhou, and Curze stood beside him, holding a notebook in his hand.

"Father, the Canaan Star Alliance has accepted our terms."

Yingzhou nodded.

"Did they haggle?"

Guilliman said.

"Tailesi asked some detailed questions, but did not haggle. He is very clear that he has no leverage, and the terms we proposed are more lenient than he expected.

He had assumed he would be required to be like the Fengqi Star Alliance.

We only requested unified command in diplomacy and military affairs, as well as the classification of citizenship. He seemed to heave a sigh of relief."

The corners of Yingzhou's mouth lifted slightly.

"Let him heave a sigh of relief, and let him go back to tell Viridius that what the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance wants is order—the order of the Bode Star System."

Guilliman nodded.

"Father, for the subsequent negotiations, do you need me to continue following up?"

Yingzhou said.

"Yes, but there is no need to rush. Let them first take a look at the celebration, look at the appearance of the Xiuluo Holy Star, look at our people, and look at our army. Then they will figure it out themselves."

Guilliman said.

"Understood."

The door to the study closed gently behind Guilliman and Curze.

Yingzhou sat alone at his desk, his gaze falling into the deepening night outside the window.

The terms for the Canaan Star Alliance had been settled, and those Alien representatives were currently in the diplomatic delegation rest area calculating their own futures.

Secondary Citizen—not a slave, but not a master either.

If they are not stupid, they should be content.

At this moment, the door was knocked on gently.

"Come in."

Luojia walked into the study.

The Psionic Crystal Rosary in his hand turned incessantly.

"Father, there is one matter that requires your decision."

Yingzhou leaned back in his chair.

"Speak."

Luojia walked to the desk and placed a Data Pad on it.

"In the eastern star sector of the Bode Star System, there is an Orc force that calls itself the 'Broken Bone Empire'. Their leader is named Gokazi. In the past three months, he has issued three public statements in succession, clamoring loudly that the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance is nothing more than a former Gladiator Arena planet and that they would absolutely never acknowledge such a force as a member of the Bode Star System.

They claim that Humans are only fit to be their slaves."

Yingzhou's brows furrowed slightly, and he did not look at the Data Pad.

"Broken Bone Empire? Gokazi?"

His tone had no ripples, but Luojia knew that this kind of calmness was often more terrifying than anger.

"Yes, Father. The sphere of influence of the Broken Bone Empire covers twelve stars. They have occupied three Human planets—Wala Star, Heluo Star, and Sargon Star—as slave farms. Every year, countless Human compatriots are slaughtered or sold by the Orcs."

Luojia paused.

"Father, there is one more thing: the Broken Bone Empire was also once one of the player forces in the Gladiator Arena."

Yingzhou tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop.

At that time, Humans were treated as slaves by the Orcs and were being slaughtered.

This was before the establishment of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance; back then, Xiuluo Holy Star was merely a Gladiator Arena planet, and Humans were still struggling under the iron heel of the Aliens.

"Luojia."

Yingzhou spoke, his voice calm.

"Present."

"Of that Orc faction, which fleet is closest to us?"

Luojia had long since prepared the answer.

"Father, the Sons of the People Chapter, composed of Elite Space Marines you previously selected from various legions, is currently conducting a patrol Task in the star sector east of the Bode Star System. Their route is very close to the sphere of influence of the Broken Bone Empire and can reach the target area in ten days."

Yingzhou picked up the quill on the table and spun it once in his hand.

"How many men does the Sons of the People Chapter have now?"

Luojia said.

"A full complement of five thousand, fully equipped, and the Chapter Master is Sebastian."

The corners of Yingzhou's mouth lifted slightly.

"Good. Let them go."

Luojia took out a Data Pad.

"Father, the specific orders?"

Yingzhou stood up and walked to the window.

"Order the Sons of the People Chapter to proceed at full speed to the sphere of influence of the Broken Bone Empire. Eliminate all Orc military forces, destroy their warships, blow up their bases, liberate the occupied Human colonial planets, and rescue all enslaved Humans."

He turned around and looked at Luojia.

"Those Aliens shall witness the extinction of their civilization."

"Yes, Father."

Yingzhou walked back to the desk, picked up the quill, and wrote a few words on a blank order document.

"Wala Star, Heluo Star, Sargon Star—after the Humans on these planets are rescued, send them to the rear for resettlement."

Luojia said.

"Understood, Father. Please authorize the communication permissions for the Sons of the People Chapter."

Yingzhou signed his name at the bottom of the document and handed it to Luojia.

"Take it. Tell Sebastian that I need to let these Aliens know the bottom line of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance."

Luojia took the document.

"I will convey it."

Yingzhou looked at him.

"After the celebration, I want to hear the battle report."

Luojia nodded.

"Yes, Father."

He turned and walked quickly out of the study.

Only Yingzhou remained in the study.

His mind was filled with a thousand thoughts.

The Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance had not yet been established in the past, and Humans were still the lowest-ranking slaves in the Bode Star System.

But that was the past; the current Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance has already stood up.

The Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance possesses powerful military strength and is capable of making the Aliens pay a heavy price.

It is not enough, far from enough.

Yingzhou pressed the Communication Device on the table.

"Selina."

A holographic projection appeared in the corner of the room.

"His Majesty, I am here."

"Record. Sons of the People Chapter, executing the Broken Bone Empire eradication Task."

Selina's data stream flickered rapidly.

"Recording complete."
