Invincible after death, but in Warhammer 40K
Chapter 201 201: Power and a Less-Than-Cordial Meeting
"I doubt you're here just to chat."
Zhang Ge put down the tableware in his hand, looked the other person directly in the eyes, and his expression didn't fluctuate.
Seeing Zhang Ge's style, she didn't bother with a lot of complicated etiquette and self-introductions like she would with other nobles, but instead responded directly to the point:
"Of course. The family and I have always wanted to express our gratitude to you, but due to the urgent war situation, we couldn't find a suitable time. Now we have finally been able to meet."
Gratitude?
Before Zhang Ge could refuse, she used two fingers to take out a piece of paper with a faint fragrance from her chest.
Looking at the title, thankfully, it wasn't a list of materials.
Only then did Zhang Ge feel relieved and signaled the other party to continue speaking.
"Due to your outstanding achievements in Deadwood Sector, hundreds of millions of the Agamemnus family's citizens have been preserved. Material thanks alone cannot express our gratitude. Therefore, the family has decided to provide you with a Wartime Privilege Indulgence, effective immediately within Deadwood Sector."
As she spoke, Zhang Ge was also looking at the specific content on the paper.
How should he put it? It might not even be comprehensive to describe it as an Indulgence; it was closer to being a privilege.
To summarize part of it… within Deadwood Sector, even if Zhang Ge suddenly killed seven or eight people in the downtown area, he wouldn't bear any consequences the next day. If he saw something he wanted somewhere, even if it was not for sale or even a person, he could just take it, and someone would help him clean up afterwards.
Overall, it basically gave Zhang Ge powers equivalent to a noble, while the part of the obligations would be borne by the Agamemnus family.
"Very sincere."
It was very sincere.
Although Zhang Ge could do the above without their authorization, having it written on paper and personally acknowledged by House Agamemnus was not the same thing.
Because it represented their active concession… and considering the power of this family, the impact of this active step far exceeded what was written on paper.
House Agamemnus was the Planetary Governor family of this planet, and not just any Planetary Governor family.
If the status of the Planetary Governor was determined by the status of the planet they ruled, then they could be called one of the leading groups among the Planetary Governor families.
Theoretically, they controlled nearly 200 billion people. Even with the influence of the Mechanicus and the division of power by other forces, the population they actually controlled should be at least tens of billions.
Just from an economic point of view alone.
Even if you assume that the average monthly productivity of these tens of billions of people was only ten Throne Gelt, and after deducting taxes and the like, even if the family could only get a tenth of the net profit from these ten Throne Gelt, that would still be a net income of tens of billions of Throne Gelt a month.
In this way, it was not difficult to imagine how huge this family was.
In some frontier star systems, perhaps the population of the entire star system combined was not as large as one of the family's medium-sized hives. A large hive, however, accumulated enough wealth to surpass the entire dynasty of most Rogue Traders.
As for the entire Sector? Before the Ork invasion, the Agamemnus family, as a mere planetary noble, had the ability to prepare for a civil war with the Mechanicus, which occupied an entire continent on the planet. This was enough to illustrate the amazing resources contained in the simple word "Sector."
Not to mention the distant past, but looking at the near, the previous Titan formation and Knight Household came to the battlefield precisely because of the family's connections. And this was just a single connection in Deadwood Sector.
It was precisely a family of such terrifying scale that was now actively expressing its willingness to make concessions to Zhang Ge.
This was why Zhang Ge said they were very sincere.
However, then again.
"But what if I don't want it?"
No matter how prosperous this family's power was on this planet, it was ultimately just an insignificant speck of dust in the sea of stars.
As soon as Calgar came, he first reorganized the planet's upper council. Later, in order to seek cooperation with the Eldar, he even made the female Governor, who had offended the Eldar, evaporate from the world, and they didn't dare to say anything about it.
Of course, Zhang Ge wasn't mainly considering this aspect. He was thinking about something more long-term.
If he accepted this privilege given by the other party, although he wouldn't actually have to pay much, the political signal released by the "acceptance" itself would be strong enough.
If, and he was just saying if, he hadn't died yet after playing the entire game on this planet, would he have to get on a ship to other places?
If so, then he couldn't be tied to the chariots of these planetary nobles.
Hearing Zhang Ge's reply, the female noble of Agamemnus still didn't change her expression and continued to say with a smile:
"I'm really sorry. In order to allow you to enjoy the family's gratitude immediately, the relevant personnel have already arranged things in advance. Of course, since it is your intention, we will immediately cancel this arrangement… However, after all, we are still in the chaotic period after the war, and we don't know when the cancellation order will be successfully conveyed."
"Are you planning to coerce me?"
"What? Of course, I don't mean that. I just want to ask you to understand the family's difficulties. Oh, right, there's another thing."
Zhang Ge watched the other party perform a surprised posture as if she had just remembered, and then watched her expression gradually turn embarrassed.
"You seem to have brought back four Warhound-class Titans. According to the family's information, those Titans belong to a certain Titan Legion. I would like to express our gratitude and respect for your achievements again, but at the same time, I would also like to remind you that in order to avoid the corresponding Titan Legion pursuing responsibility, it is better to complete the handover of the command of the four Titans as soon as possible."
In her words, Zhang Ge thought for a while.
Of course, he wasn't thinking about ways to break the situation, but was a little confused as to why the other party was confident that he would be coerced by the command of a mere four Warhound-class Titans.
Did they have any follow-up moves? It didn't look like it. If they had any follow-up moves, they should have been requisitioned by the Imperial Fists when fighting the Iron Warriors.
"Are you sure the so-called pre-arranged arrangements cannot be withdrawn?"
"No, no, no, it's not that. How would we dare to neglect your request? It's just that in this war-torn situation, it is indeed difficult to effectively convey the order. However, we will do it as soon as possible."
"Is that so? That's really unfortunate."
Hearing this sentence that seemed like resignation, the female noble smiled without answering. These were all within her expectations, and there was nothing to be surprised about.
However, what was slightly abnormal was that after that sentence, the other party took out a cross pendant from her chest, and seemed to be chanting something in her mouth.
"Olivia, connect to Oston and Amilia's comms."
