Chapter 2902 An old friend met
“He?”
Arash, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment when Bahram suddenly asked him this, then looked at Hayes and frowned brow.
“This is”
“Captain Hayes, don’t lower your head.”
Hayes, who was touched on the shoulder by Bahram, trembled suddenly, then put his feet together and raised his chest, raised his head, saluted a standard military salute and said loudly:
"The 73rd Regiment of the 13th Division of Kermanshah Captain of the Third Company of the Second Battalion, Hayes Bathory, pays tribute to the Chief Consul!”
After seeing that the company commander’s arms and knees were still shaking slightly despite his efforts to restrain himself, Soshyan gently said He nodded and said calmly:
"Hello, Lieutenant Hayes, take a rest."
"Yes!"
After seeing his face, Arash frowned even more tightly because he didn't seem to have this person in his memory. Then he shook his head and looked at Bahram.
“Brother Bahram, I don’t seem to have any impression of this guy?”
“But he said that he had taken a photo with you.”
“Huh? Yes? "
Hearing what Arash said, although Hayes's whole brain was almost empty at this time, he suddenly felt courage, took two steps forward, and then took off his helmet to reveal his trademark hairstyle.
"Sir! Do you remember this?"
In just one second, Arash's expression changed, revealing an expression of realization, and pointed at Hayes with two fingers.
“Ah, yes, yes, I remembered, it’s you, the thirteen-haired little guy, no matter what, it’s been many years.”
Arash walked up to In front of Hayes, he looked at the "little warrior" in his memory with some regret. He had grown a lot, but his face had also changed a lot, and he also wore an eyepatch, so he didn't recognize him at all at first.
“Are your eyes and this hand a mechanical prosthesis? What happened? I remember your army seems to be... Oh, it’s that Arni Morales regiment, right? ?”
"Yes, sir, we are behind."
While Arash was talking to Hayes, Soshyan summoned Bahram to his side.
"What is the situation?"
"Chapter Commander, this Lieutenant Hayes was once a member of the Maelstrom Expeditionary Force. He should have been recruited locally, and he was also the Badab The soldiers under the new Governor Arni once took a photo with the leader of the Arash Chapter in a battle. I saw that photo, so I thought about bringing him to meet the Arash brothers. After all, he can be regarded as an old friend. .”
Then Bahram raised his hand and pointed at Hayes.
"And his performance is also excellent. I can see that his subordinates are basically a group of new recruits, but he can use his personal charm and care to keep them as far away from fear and chaos as possible. I have seen many officers who take the lead. , I have seen officers and soldiers integrated, but Hayes has a unique ability. He can empathize with the soldiers and understand the torture their immature hearts are suffering. He allows them to cry and complain. Instead of talking about the commander, he He is more like their father, a father figure. He also performed well in battle. He was not only brave, but also able to pay attention to some details on the battlefield. His commanding ability is not bad, but it is not bad. "
< br>Soshyan nodded thoughtfully, and then smiled:
“You gave a very high evaluation, Bahram.”
“Because I saw it with my own eyes. ”
Soshiyan walked over immediately. He couldn’t help but click his tongue when he looked at Hayes’ unique hairstyle.
"It's amazing. This is such a lucky hair. No wonder it can survive from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood time and time again."
"What is so lively?"
Seth not far away. After seeing it, he also came over. When he saw the hair on Hayes' head, a surprised expression appeared on his big face.
"How many roots are there, one, twenty-three! Oh, a total of thirteen roots. Are these from birth? Or are they left by yourself?"
Arash on the side replied immediately Road:
"Born, I met him when he was young, and it was like this at that time."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's interesting, what is it called? The Emperor's Lucky Number?"
< br>As he spoke, Seth moved his hands to brush the hair on Hayes' head, but the strong smell of blood on this Space Marine made Hayes feel palpitations, as if he was next to a man-eating evil beast, and all the instincts in his body They were all calling him to run away.
But how dare he move now? Fortunately, the other party quickly stopped.
"Lieutenant Hays, since you were once a soldier of Arni, why didn't you follow him to Badab?"
Hearing Soshyan's voice, Hays saluted quickly, and then replied loudly:
“Report to the Governor, because I don’t want to cause trouble to others!”
“Haha, what trouble can you cause? He is the governor, and there is a big family behind him. Arranging for you alone is not a trouble at all, this is the reason."
As he said that, Soshiyang thought of something and frowned slightly.
"It was said that Arney's troops almost completely wiped out Lieutenant Hayes. Do you have a medal?"
Hearing this, Hayes blinked in confusion.
“Medal.”
Seeing him like this, Soshiyang guessed something and continued to ask:
“Your injuries were all from the battle in the Fallen Moon. Fallen, right?”
"Yes."
"Did you return to your original army after the war?"
Hayes hesitated for a moment, and finally replied:
"No."
"Your troops haven't looked for you either?"
"I don't know that. I was sent to the rear temporary medical station after I was injured."
Soshiyang nodded.
"You then immigrated to Kermansha?"
"Yes, Chief Consul, it is thanks to you that I have the opportunity to come to such a prosperous and beautiful new world. ”
“Have you started a family? ”
Hayes didn't answer this time, just nodded.
"Have children?"
"Three."
Soshiyang looked at the other party, his thoughts flowing for a moment, and then suddenly asked a question.
“Do you miss them?”
Hayes was stunned at first, and after thinking for a few seconds, he hesitated and said:
“Go back to the Chief Consul, think about it.”
“Well, you are a veteran and have a disability, I I still owe you a medal. If you want to go back, I will give you special permission to follow some of the wounded back home."
At this moment, Hayes was surprised at first and wanted to agree immediately, but then his expression changed. There was a change, and I finally shook my head.
"My Lord Praetor, thank you for your concern, I can't go back now."
"Oh? Why?"
"Nothing in this world is deserved. I have known this clearly since I was sensible, including when I was scavenging in garbage dumps for a living. Everything I get is You have to give. You have given me a lot. I know what I should give. Even the peace in my hometown is not taken for granted. I have seen the horror of those Tyranids. I can't imagine when they are in my home. I won’t allow it even if there is a 10,000 chance that we can block them from our homes and loved ones forever.”
