Chapter 1708 Goodbye Old Friends
As the team defending Soshiyang marched, there were constant cheers and countless petals falling from the sky. This was the result of hundreds of little angels carrying flower baskets. .
Although Soshyan wanted to finish walking quickly, because the attendant nun in front was not walking fast, the entire team could not move faster, and he had to endure those fanatical looks.
But I have to say that although they are nuns, the lively nature of those young nuns is still there. Soshyan's sensitive hearing can occasionally allow him to hear those whispers in private. He feels that he does not wear it. The helmet was probably a mistake, as many nuns were talking about his looks, and two medical nuns were even heard hiding against the wall discussing his "length" in whispers.
Finally, after five long minutes, the team Arriving at the square, the top leaders of the state church gathered here, including the Patriarch Saint Dalton.
At this time, the bronze bells that had been ringing stopped, and St. Dalton, wearing a white-gold bishop's robe and a towering dome hat, stepped forward. There were two flag bearers beside Soshyan, one was Ustad. , holding the banners of the Chapter, one being Maximilian, holding the eagle standard awarded by Terra.
The patriarch first saluted the two flags, and then chanted loudly:
“Only love the God Emperor, because he is the salvation of mankind, listen to his voice, because he will guide you Enter into the light of the future, and follow His wisdom, for He will protect you from evil, pray reverently, for He will save your soul, and honor His servant, for he represents Him.”
Speaking, the Patriarch knelt down and kissed Soshyan's boots devoutly.
Although Soshyan was bored, he could only respond:
"We all walk in His immortal shadow."
"Praise the God-Emperor."
Everyone chanted in unison, and then Saint Dalton took the olive branch from the attendant. Dip it in holy water and sprinkle it on Soshyan's armor.
“Welcome the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, Soshyan Alexey, to the Guardian Star of Sacred Relics!”
Soshyan glanced across the crowd and made eye contact with someone. At that moment, he suddenly moved away quickly as if he was being burned.
Then his eyes were fixed on the first one. She stood stiffly with her back straight, her wrinkled hands hanging by her sides, her long nails with iron at the end, and her thin body wrapped in a dark red robe. , embroidered with the emblem of the Medical Order, hung with a variety of scalpels, forceps, and delicate hammers, and wore a hood held back on her head, with the flaps tightly wrapped under her cheeks, as if tying her to sew. face.
"This is the nun of the Order of the Blessed Cloth, Danielle Barzel."
Soshiyan nodded, stepped forward and extended his hand.
"Sister Danielle Barzel, there will be many wounded on the battlefield in the future, and the Order of the Blessed Wrap will be the key to bringing these brave warriors back to the battlefield."
Danielle Bazel held Soshyan's hand with both hands, lowered her head and said modestly:
"You should do your best."
Then Soshyan came to the next person. She was short, slightly fat, and looked to be in her forties. She was wearing a neat red robe and had white skin on her skin. powder to cover up the traces of time, the thick lips are dyed red, like red glass, the right eye has been replaced by a delicate prosthetic eye, the brass ring is outside the black lens, creaking and rotating to focus On Soshyan.
“This is Sister Alicia Landa of the Order of the Word of Awakening.”
Soshiyan also extended his hand, but he could clearly feel the other party’s nervousness. Maybe it was the pressure brought by Soshyan or something else, but both arms of the opponent were shaking.
“Hello, Sister Alicia Landa.”
"Hello! Yes. It's a great honor! We will do our best to support the expedition! Yes!"
Soshyan smiled gently, and he did not expect these clerical nuns to do anything.
“Thank you very much.”
“This is the Sister Guidance of the Sisters of the Holy Rosary, Bernadette.”
The Sisters of the Holy Rosary are here We are stationed in a branch, so the guidance nun is the highest-level commander here. Soshiyang looked at this resolute female warrior wearing silver armor with many scars on her slightly old face, and said sincerely:
"Nice to meet you, Sister Bernadette. I already know your heroic deeds. You are a role model for all expeditions." It turned out that when the pirates attacked, Bernadette led more than 900 nuns to fight against tens of thousands of pirates. pirates and hundreds of Chaos Space Marines, and held the fortress until reinforcements arrived, and destroyed many enemies. The record was brilliant.
The old nun saluted Soshyan with an eagle salute, and then said in a tone full of hatred:
"What we ask for is to kill more Heretic, Commander Soshiyang, please put us on the most dangerous frontline."
She was so angry not only because of her hatred of the heretics. After the Red Pirates failed to attack, she went so far as to lower their morale. Setting fire to the Emperor's Temple was an insult to the entire Order that must be washed away with blood.
Bernadette had already sworn that she would fight to the death on the battlefield, because guarding the temple was her mission and her responsibility, but she did not become the Atoner because she still needed to command the team.
Looking at the other party's burning eyes, Soshiyang knew what must have happened, but he didn't ask, just nodded.
"Yes, I promise you."
After saying that, he came to the next person. At this time, Saint Dalton was about to speak, and Soshyan raised his hand slightly. , interrupted the other party's conversation.
Then he looked at that beautiful face. After so many years, there was no change, but her temperament was more mature. In a trance, Suoshiyang seemed to be back on the black boat again. The two of them had their first time together. The scene of the encounter.
Velez also raised his head slightly, staring at the face that had appeared in dreams countless times, and clasped his hands tightly in front of his abdomen.
The slightly weird silence made the surrounding women look at it, and St. Dalton was also a little confused. However, some keen nuns, especially the senior attendant nuns who were good at observing words and expressions, had already vaguely sensed something. , a curious look appeared in his eyes.
“Long time no see.”
After a while, Soshiyang uttered a sentence.
Veletz's eyes flashed, and then he whispered:
"It has been many years, Chapter Commander Soshyan."
"You"
Saint Dalton said cautiously:
"You two know each other?"< br>
Veletz responded immediately.
"I have had the honor to fight side by side with Soshyan several times. The most recent time was in the elimination of the Death Star."
"I see."
But the two of them didn't say anything else after that. Soshyan met with the heads of other religious orders. Among them, the head nun of the attendant order also asked Soshyan if he needed a few senior members of the order to help him deal with diplomatic and internal communication issues.
In fact, this opinion is very good, because unlike other nuns in the order, in addition to focusing on pious study and service, the nuns also accept critical thinking, etiquette, astral trade and Training in commercial economics, not only as a negotiator, but also as an expert in economics and commerce, able to mediate the differences between the fiercest opponents, will be very useful for the expeditionary force, as well as for Soshyan himself, who is currently having complicated matters.
However, considering that the attendant nuns have extremely high requirements for appearance and figure, when such a woman appears, Soshyan will not be able to handle the battle around him, let alone winning against Huron.
So he could only politely refuse and said that the logistics department of the expeditionary force needed such talents.
