After the military parade, the supreme commander of the expeditionary force made his final speech -
Dear citizens of the empire! Dear Brother Astartes! Soldiers! Political commissars! Officers! Generals and marshals!
I congratulate you on your victory!
Defending the great empire of mankind is a sacred thing. It is you who created this great cause!
Everyone still remembers how the enemies in the depths of the maelstrom plundered, massacred, destroyed and destroyed everything in the empire, trying to create terror and fear, weakening and disintegrating the order of the empire from within!
But they didn't get it, and they never get it!
Whether it is the Astartes, the Astra Militarum, the Navy, the warriors of the Ecclesiarchy, or the envoys of Omnissiah, they all unite in battle and cover each other in the hail of bullets. As close as brothers.
This is the power of the empire, this is the great and indestructible power of mankind!
We unite and charge into the battlefields of Badab, in the Endymion Sector, the Angstrom System, the Lamptan System, the Bloody Bones Cluster, the Colkeria System, and The Maga Cluster fights the enemy.
Finally, we completely crushed the Red Pirates, a heretical group that had been causing trouble to the Maelstrom for hundreds of years, in the Kara galaxy!
This expedition will forever go down in history as a great victory for the unity and spiritual strength of the entire empire, an unparalleled feat accomplished side by side by those at the front and at the rear, and it is precious to each of us.
In the Maelstrom, there is no family that has not been ravaged by the war. This memory will never be erased. Those young soldiers whose lives stayed at the last moment deserve the eternal mourning of all of us.
Here, we pay tribute to all those who supported the expedition, to the citizens who resisted, to the brave soldiers, to the fearless Astartes, to the steadfast believers and the messengers of Omnisiah, to all the dead Salute to the living!
Honor belongs to heroic humans!
For victory! For the Emperor!
Amidst the roar of mountains and tsunamis, the image disappeared. Hayes just sighed and murmured to himself:
"Finally. It's over."
On the way home, Andi Na suddenly whispered something secretly to Hayes.
"Hayes, you brought those people up from the bottom nest and rented a house for them, but it cost a lot of money to eat and drink every day without doing anything. In addition, you spilled a lot some time ago. Now the family's funds will soon be exhausted, and the gold and silver left by my father cannot withstand such a huge amount of money."
Hearing Andina's complaint, Hayes pursed his lips. Those 14 people. The veterans had done such a big thing for him, and it was impossible for him to let them stay there and wait for revenge, but what Andina said was true.
"I'll find some work as soon as possible."
As soon as he got home, Hayes saw a man wearing a gray coat, a hat, and a black handbag at the door of their house. Wait.
At first he thought he was some kind of salesman. There were quite a few such people in Zhongchao, so he walked over and said with a smile:
“Sorry, we don’t need anything at the moment.”
< br>"Is that Sergeant Hayes?"
Hearing the other party mention his military rank, Hayes was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, yes, what can I do?"
The man smiled and took out a business card from the inner pocket of his coat.
"Are you interested in joining our new home project?"
Hayes took the business card, looked at it and frowned.
"New Home Group?"
Turn over, it is a picturesque pastoral scene.
"What is your company?"
"Providing a new home for capable people like you."
The man smiled, then opened the box and took out A stack of information.
"Real, new home."
(Hays Line, End)
"Remember, take good care of yourself and don't worry about so many things."
In the manor , Veronica adjusted Soshyan's cloak. Behind her was Lorena and other Eldar personnel, and a miniature portal had been opened.
“Well, I got it, it didn’t take long, I’ll go back right away.”
"Also."
Veronica suddenly stared into Soshyan's eyes. "I know that the nun will also go with me. Don't make any trouble."
"What trouble are you making? You are too much"
"Anyway, just remember it."
"Okay, okay, I'll remember it."
"Also, don't always get angry over trivial things. It's useless to be angry. Remember to eat when it's time to eat."
"Yes."
Afterwards, Veronica and Soshyan kissed for a moment. As soon as she turned around, Soshyan suddenly took her hand, then hugged her back and said softly:< br>
"Veronica, please pay more attention to your safety, don't run around if you are pregnant, take care of yourself, stay in the royal court and wait for me"
"Hmm~"
After the two were intimate for a moment, Veronica disappeared into the portal with the other Aida, heading to the distant ark, and then returned to the Eternal Court.
One day after Veronica left, the fleet of the Astral Knights assembled in the Gogotan Wasteland, surrounded by warships from other chapters.
"Brother Azrael, we look forward to our next fight together. If you need any assistance, just send someone directly to Nathan 4 to let us know."
With Azrael After Riel hugged for a moment, Soshyan let go of each other with a smile, and Azrael also smiled.
"Similarly, if Brother Soshyan needs any help, you can contact any monastery fortress of the Chapter, or other Chapters."
In about half a day, most of the Chapter left the battlefield. The whirlpool, including the Minotaur Chapter, had new tasks and orders. The Tauren Lord also had a meaningful conversation with Soshyan. He always felt that the other party might be far more complicated than he thought. .
The ranger warriors of the Tribulation Alliance stayed in the Maelstrom, while other battle groups escorted the Scar of Victory back to their original base. Since the Lamenters had canceled the Atonement Expedition, they recruited some new soldiers on the spot in the Maelstrom. It takes some time to digest, and the ascetics also need to recruit new soldiers. The flesh tearers also secretly obtained a group of new soldiers, but they still need to be screened.
In the end, the only company that went to Terra with the Astral Knights was the company of the Imperial Fists, and the Mantis Warriors who had obtained the consent of the Terra envoy. In addition, the Iron Hands Wanderer also wanted to visit Mars. Adhering to the principle that it doesn't cost anything to have one more person, Soshyan also brought the other party along.
It seems that in just a blink of an eye, the huge expeditionary force has disappeared.
"Commissar Yaric, I hope this expedition will be helpful to your cause in Armageddon."
As one of the reinforcements for Armageddon, Yaric will naturally return to the planet. He held Soshyan's finger, and a smile appeared on his old face.
“At this age, I don’t care anymore. The only thing I hope is that before I am buried in the grave and my soul returns to the throne, the Emperor can have mercy on me and let the damn Bonecrusher come to my door and let me truly End its dirty life."
Soshiyang smiled and nodded.
"If it comes, the Astral Knight will definitely arrive. If this is the case, then it will not have another chance to escape. By the way, there are still some people. They must see you before leaving."
As the bridge door opened, more than forty recruits led by Jacob walked in, and then they all knelt down on one knee, which was the highest courtesy for a Space Marine.
Arrick walked up to Jacob and gently patted the other man's shoulder with a trembling one-arm, tears twinkling in the corners of his eyes.
"Okay, okay, Jacob, you are your father's pride, and I am proud of you too."
Jacob stared at Alex and said sincerely:
"Uncle Yarick, I hope you take care of yourself. I will personally deliver the Bonecrusher's head to you in the future."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Arrick glanced at every warrior from Armageddon and said excitedly:
"This is the man of Armageddon! I hope you will live up to the emperor's expectations in the future and make your hometown proud of you with victory and glory!"
"Yes!"
The roars of dozens of people shook the bridge floor. stand up.
When Armageddon's fleet left, the fleet heading for Terra also entered the opened rift amidst the roar of the subspace engine.
Happy birthday to the Third Emperor Guilliman of the Silver Alliance. ~
