"You seem to think there is only one Astartes that is within Karliel's host I see. Well, let me assure you, sir, that I am not Karliel and that there are more like me serving my lord. Along with machines and servants more deadly than even we Astartes are."

Karliel smiles under his helm. This commander believes that he is scared, ''This man has no idea what my host composes of, he just knows that we have taken his most vital supply route. No doubt word of my combat prowess has reached him, so the thought of more Astartes must frighten him.''

"My lord has commanded me to propose to you a treaty between yourself and himself. Breier is losing this war. Just a portion of my master's forces were able to take that vital highway and the rest of the troops are scouring the mountains for outposts. This position we knew of for quite some time and he planned to make this a key point for his future advancements without wasting the lives of both our forces."

Taking a moment to glance around, he returns his attention to the commander. He falls into the trance of near preacher-like motions. It is like Karliel is back on his homeworld speaking to the planetary senate on behalf of his household.

"My lord is a man of his word. He wishes to make a new empire, one that does not bow to some distant and uncaring emperor. Our world is lost due to the actions of the inquisition and the pompous arseholes that rule this imperium, meaning we had no chance to build an empire there. We fought for it, tooth and nail but we were ordered to abandon the planet when the Imperial dogs decided to murder our homeworld. We have scoured the stars for a new world to call our own and we saw potential in this world and its people, who have fought resiliantly against both tyrants and madmen. But now the world is falling to the chaos of war, madmen and sorcerers are vying for control of this world while Breier has no hope to match them. His ambitions are limited and he fights for an Imperium that has not even sent a single Imperial Guard regiment to aid your world in its time of need. Your people have bleed themselves dry in this war, and for what?"

"My lord Karliel, on the other hand, has a grand host of Skitarii, artillery, vehicles, industrial might, and raw manpower.  We are rebuilding the ruined city we have overtaken and intend to provide work and food for the people striken by this conflict. We do not just want power, but w e are fighting to create a world that will stand united under the banner of abandoned sons of the Imperium and this is where you come in commander. "

"It is my lord's hope that you would join us along with the remainder of the forces that have not been corrupted by the sorcerers and madmen that are fighting for this world. We hoped to use this facility as a point for advancing against the rest of the forces that will not bend their knee in compliance. In return for your fealty, my lord will grant you both title and command within the Empire he is creating, one where you are not forced to be on garrison duty but rather are given command worthy of your ability where you can achieve glory but also see to it the people of your planet can finally know peace. We intend to use the artillery in this position as a deterent for resistance from other forces under Beier's command and as a way to defend the fortress that my master's host is constructing to keep the highway under his control."

Outstreching his hands slowly in an inviting gesture,

"If you have any questions sir, feel free to ask me. For my master has granted me the ability to answer any and all questions you have regarding his ambitions and what we ask of you."
