Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 116 03.0115: ‘Yes, Mr. Candidate Officer’

The children who lost their parents in this battle will be raised by the State Church Orphanage, and those with better physical fitness will be enrolled in the Loyalty Cultivation College as loyal heirs.

The orphanage that the girl with heterochromatic eyes entered was a pretty good orphanage in Zhongchao, and the three meals a day there might be better than those at her home.

The attack on the planet has not yet ended. The Imperial Navy sent officers and the Ministry of Justice to take over the subsequent riot control work.

This saved Horatio from being responsible for a series of tedious reports and documents.

But regarding the ‘miracles’ that occurred in the Battle of the Church, after such a big commotion, a series of investigation procedures could not be avoided.

At the suggestion of Sister Arabella, Louise went to the Navy Medical Ward for a physical examination to determine whether she needed recuperation and to conduct relevant examinations.

Horatio sent her to the shuttle, and after expressing his well-being wishes, the two waved goodbye.

After sending the wounded Hell Sniper away, Horatio and some survivors stayed on the spot, waiting for someone from above to investigate, and there might even be an Inquisitor.

But now he is more worried about the unresolved threat in the void.

"Horatio, are you okay?" Farida landed on the ground from a high altitude with a jump pack and walked in front of Horatio.

Her face was filled with worry and fatigue, and her voice was no longer as crisp as before because of the long communication conversation.

Horatio shook his head: "It's a minor injury, it's okay. What about you?"

"That's good. I'm not injured... Actually, I came here for two things." The blonde girl pursed her lips and put her hands behind her back, a little embarrassed.

"What good things are you hiding behind you." Horatio chuckled.

"First of all, today is St. Gilles Day. Since we are friends, I will give you a gift! No need to thank me!" Her tone of pretending to be solemn became more and more stiff, her body trembled slightly, and she pushed a gift box directly in front of Horatio.

The black-haired young man raised his mouth and took it from her hand.

"Thank you."

He opened the gift box, and inside was a leather naval officer's belt. The material was solid, and the main body of the buckle was made of fine gold, exquisite and solid, with the rudder emblem of the Imperial Navy etched on it.

But Horatio sensed the aggressive machine soul, as if telling him that this belt buckle was not simple.

"There is a defense mechanism designed by Father Lati inside, which can launch energy-focused lasers. Maybe you will use it." Farida tilted her head and looked at Horatio and asked.

"Of course, thank you, Miss Hood. I also prepared a gift for you."

Farida's eyes widened instantly.

Horatio took out a small gift box from the ammunition bag of his armor.

The box was a little dented in the battle, and there was still blood on it.

"Sorry, it's a little dirty."

Farida's eyes were wide open. This was the first time she exchanged gifts with a man other than her father.

She took it with trepidation and opened it gently.

Inside was a pair of exquisite crystal earrings, with excellent craftsmanship and a high price.

Although Horatio knew that Farida was a young lady and certainly had no shortage of these, but...

"The last time I went to that clothing store with you, I saw this pair of earrings in the display cabinet and thought it was very suitable for you at the time." Horatio expressed his thoughts.

Farida seemed very surprised.

Then, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Oh, I thought you were a heartless person. I didn't expect you still have some emotional intelligence. Not bad, not bad, there is still hope."

"Want to try it?"

Farida was not clean after the battle, and was even a little too dirty, but she still nodded.

Horatio took out the earrings and put them on her. She took out the small mirror she carried with her and looked at it, revealing a satisfied smile.

"It's really beautiful, and your vision is not bad."

"Thank you."

"The second thing is very important. You need to report to the Indefatigable now and participate in the pursuit operation. This battle is not over yet, and the enemy is right above us." Farida's expression became serious.

"How did you know I had to report? I didn't receive the order."

"Now you have. I am now the candidate officer of the Indefatigable, and I am here to convey the appointment of the Ministry of the Navy."

Farida solemnly took out the appointment letter of the candidate officer of the Gothic Fleet from her bosom, with the wax seal of the Ministry of the Navy and the signature of Vice Admiral Hood on it.

She took out the appointment letter at once, and Horatio was not surprised.

She is the daughter of the Hood family, born for the void, and with the resources of her family, it is normal for her to get the position of candidate officer.

And at her age, it is time for her to board the warship and inherit her father's mantle in the future to become an excellent Imperial Navy general.

"Of course, you too. Based on your outstanding heroic behavior this time, the Gothic Star District Navy Department has urgently approved your candidate officer qualification. This is your appointment letter, take it."

Farida handed Horatio another parchment scroll with the wax wax emblem of the Imperial Navy with a little pride.

"Congratulations, Candidate Officer Cochrane, you have finally stepped into the threshold of the officer class from the non-commissioned officer class.

But your contribution today and the subsequent investigation will probably have to wait until the whole thing is over. The enemy is nearby, no one wants to open champagne at halftime, and our mission is not over yet."

[Is the efficiency of the Navy Department so fast? Could it be that Vice Admiral Hood...] Horatio thought.

"Okay, but you must be prepared. Nothing can be done carelessly on a warship. Especially since it's your first time on board..." It was indeed a delight to get the officer qualification. But Horatio was worried about Farida.

"It's none of your business. We are equal. You can't order me around~" Farida playfully winked at Horatio, hugged her chest, and raised her eyebrows.

Horatio chuckled. Obviously Farida didn't understand the rules of the navy.

"The navy looks at seniority." Horatio raised half of his eyebrows and smiled.

"Huh?" Farida didn't understand what Horatio meant and showed a strange expression.

But Horatio didn't intend to explain more. She would understand soon after she boarded the ship.

Horatio went to Zhongsi College as quickly as possible and changed into the naval officer uniform that Commodore Peru had prepared for him a long time ago, but this time he couldn't enjoy it slowly.

There are two types of uniforms for Imperial Navy officers, one is a sleeveless vest, and the other is similar to the British Royal Navy officer uniform during the Napoleonic era, even the color is the same.

Horatio prefers the latter, he always thinks the sleeveless style is not solemn enough.

In the Imperial Navy, midshipmen and lieutenants wear the same style of uniforms.

The only difference is that the midshipmen have white cloth buttoned on both sides of their collars. This is an ancient tradition that has continued from the sailing age to the 21st century, and then continued to the 41st millennium.

According to the Imperial Navy Officer Uniform Regulations.

When receiving the commission from the Star Domain Admiralty, the lieutenant will remove the white cloth on his collar, symbolizing that he is already a formal commissioned officer.

The lieutenant does not wear a gold tassel shoulder board. When he becomes a lieutenant, he only wears a single-sided gold tassel shoulder board embroidered with two twelve-pointed stars on the right shoulder.

When he reaches the captain, he wears a gold tassel shoulder board with three twelve-pointed stars on both shoulders at the same time.

As the three ranks are promoted, the gold-edged patterns on the cuffs will become more and more numerous and complex.

You can directly ask the Navy's specially hired tailor to embroider them without changing the uniform. (Because many naval officers' uniforms are specially customized by private individuals)

The lord captain has a more gorgeous exclusive uniform decorated with two thin gold edges.

The uniform of the lieutenant colonel is the same as that of the colonel. All edges have bright wide gold edges, which are gorgeous and solemn. The difference from the lieutenant uniform can be seen at a glance.

The lieutenant uniform is simpler than that, with thin and narrow gold edges, lacking the luxury and domineering of the colonel uniform.

The difference between the two is still the pattern of the cuffs, and the lieutenant colonel only wears a gold tassel shoulder board with rank embroidered on one side on the right side.

Horatio was ready. He was wearing black boots on his feet and snow-white pants. The alternate officer uniform tailored for him by Commodore Peru's family tailor fit him very well.

He put the bicorne hat on his head vertically, and the 71-centimeter-long navy dagger was inserted into the sword belt at his waist.

When he becomes a commissioned officer of the Navy Department, he will get a single-edged power sword called "Cutlass".

The blade of this power sword is wider and stronger than the power saber, and is slightly shorter, which is very suitable for melee in narrow terrain such as cabins.

Before leaving after getting dressed, Horatio looked in the mirror. He already looked like a capable and elegant man. A pair of snow-white velvet gloves brought an unexpected improvement to his temperament.

"Hey, Horatio, how about my outfit." After bathing and changing clothes, Farida appeared in front of Horatio with a confident smile.

Her uniform is very gorgeous, with the Hood family emblem, and the fitted uniform highlights her proud figure.

The bright black leather boots and the meticulously and elegantly groomed golden curly hair add a touch of queen temperament.

"It fits. You were born to wear this military uniform." Horatio smiled and praised.
