Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 155 03.0154: ‘Two pieces of bread with cheese? ’

“The casualties of the No. 4 Macro Gun Armed Forces are about 260, the casualties of the sailors are about 300, and the shortage of contract workers is 442…”

“The inspection and clearance of each cabin will be completed in about 15 minutes.”

“The weapons reserves issued have been collected, and the number of damages has been compiled into a list. Please review it, sir. There are about 40 missing firearms. We will try our best to find them.”

The warrant officers reported one by one in an orderly manner according to the established order.

Behind Horatio stood a servant who knew a little about clerical work, busy recording the warrant officers’ reports and summarizing the data for Horatio, who was an officer.

“Get them done, gentlemen. We can’t be careless in our work.”

Horatio picked up the sandwich in front of him and took a bite slowly, making sure he would not swallow the words of the warrant officers along with the sandwich.

The high-quality Grox tendon sausage was very much to his liking. The rich meaty aroma filled the air, and the meat was firm and chewy.

Chewing carefully, the sweet and salty tender meat left a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, and was very delicious. The air exhaled from the nose was filled with this delicious meaty smell.

The best black label Grox ham was a strategic reserve material specially supplied to nobles and naval officers.

It is said that the years these ham families have served officers and nobles are almost equal to the Great Expedition to the present.

Just a thin slice, it condenses the traditional craftsmanship of the ham family for thousands of years.

With the embellishment of light saltiness, the fresh meaty aroma of the special raw materials is like champagne gushing out after shaking, which makes people immersed in it and has endless aftertaste.

With the ham slices sprinkled on the end, the fresh and fragrant cream mushroom soup makes people feel relaxed and happy instantly, forgetting the depression brought by the fierce battle, and plays a very good role in regulating mood.

After tasting a single slice, Horatio finally took a big bite of the sandwich.

The sandwich he paired up under his instinctive intuition of pursuing deliciousness, the sweetness of animal butter, the slightly burnt wheat aroma of freshly made bread, and the slightly salty and elegant meat are perfectly combined together. The taste is rich and the texture is distinct, which makes people's appetite and mood comfortable.

But Horatio didn't plan to eat too much. The purpose of a simple meal is to replenish energy. Eating too much may cause seasickness in the subsequent battle. If you vomit it, it will not be worth the loss.

And he has discovered that the warrant officers began to feel uncomfortable with the temperament of Farida, who is an untouchable.

They originally had a big appetite, but they didn't eat much. Only Horatio ate with relish.

After eating a sandwich that Horatio had prepared for her, Farida was almost 70% full and was in a just right state.

[Well~ This guy knows my appetite very well, just right. ]

She raised the corners of her mouth and wiped her lips decently, and then touched up the lip gloss when no one was around.

Horatio could see that the sandwich he made himself was very much to her taste, and she was in a good mood now that she was full and satisfied.

"Since everyone has almost finished eating, let's stop here for this meal report. Everyone, choose some food to take back. Next, we need to stay alert and be alert at our posts."

Horatio knew how to take care of his men. He knew that they didn't eat much and would definitely be hungry later, so he asked them to eat and pack up and return to their posts.

"Yes! Thank you, sir!" The warrant officers saluted Horatio respectfully.

These senior sailors born in the void are very pure. If you treat them well and can lead them to victory, they will become reliable backing.

Give them the respect and rewards they deserve, and they will be as simple and reliable as loyal hounds, willing to protect you with their lives.

Horatio nodded to them, then straightened his collar and stood in front of the command array.

The servants quickly removed the tableware and tablecloths, and another group of people quickly cleaned up and lit incense to provide a clean and spacious command environment for the two officers.

Horatio quickly checked it himself according to the integrated figures recorded by the servant on paper.

After confirming that it was correct, he reported the situation of the artillery fort to the Operations Department and applied for the application order to replenish combat personnel and replenish the ammunition to be launched.

He completed his duties and also gestured to Farida, showing her what she should learn and pay attention to.

The brief report communication ended.

"You are indeed an excellent naval officer and a good teacher." Farida whispered beside him, and the corners of her lips unconsciously hooked into a charming arc.

"Thank you for the compliment." Hearing Farida's sudden compliment, Horatio chuckled softly, with a smile on his face, looking at the observation window and said.

"The combat readiness rest will end in five minutes. All officers should pay attention to the time. The patrol political commissar will routinely check the rest status." The voice of Captain Sterling came from the sound array above.

Horatio's area of ​​responsibility has already fulfilled every task. Even if the inspection commissar comes here for random inspection, he will only give him a full score on the performance evaluation form.

Dongdong.

Heavy footsteps came from outside.

[Astartes' footsteps?] Horatio was familiar with this sound.

He turned his head to look at the side door of the command platform.

In the surprised eyes of countless sailors and boarding team members, a team of Blood Angel Astartes monks walked to the port side second macro gun command platform.

Mortals knelt one after another. This was the first time that most mortals here had seen the legendary Space Marines in their lives.

Many people even thought that they were just myths to boost morale in the Empire.

The mortal crew was excited and terrified.

Some people who were interested in the legend of the Space Marines recognized the winged golden blood drops on their shoulder armor.

"God Emperor, it's His Blood Angels..." The kneeling boarding team axe soldier murmured in a trembling voice.

"What?" the sergeant asked in a low voice.

"I've seen them before. They are the angels of Sanguinius..."

The people around him almost popped their eyes out.

Today is the Feast of Sanguinius, and the offspring of the great primarch actually appeared in front of them.

Auspicious sign! This is a great auspicious sign!

Many people immediately knelt down and prayed.

The Blood Angels walked past them quickly and stood in front of the command platform.

"We are looking for Horatio Cochrane. A naval officer." A Blood Angel sergeant shouted inside.

"It's me." Horatio was a little surprised.

The Blood Angels actually came to find him on purpose.

The people around him were almost shocked.

These Emperor's Angels of Death... actually came to find a mortal officer on purpose.

[Could it be that my superior has caused trouble? ] Someone speculated wildly.

The boarding members who served as Horatio's guards knelt on the ground and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

From among the Blood Angels, Brother Romain Rolland, who was blindfolded with a black robe of the Holy Rose, walked to the front.

"Lord Romain Rolland?"

Horatio was surprised: "You are awake? How do you feel now?"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine now." Brother Romain Rolland nodded to Horatio.

This move made the mortals next to him even more confused.

The Emperor's demigod actually greeted mortals? ? ?

All the people on the artillery command platform who saw this scene had their three views refreshed.

Horatio smiled bitterly, because he knew that another wave of increasingly exaggerated rumors would probably spread among the crew.

"We will take the Thunderhawk back to our battle barge. I want to express my gratitude to you before we leave. Is my chainsaw sword easy to use?"

"She is perfect, sir." Horatio gave a high evaluation of the Immaculate Angel's Whip.

Brother Romain Rolland smiled, and his smile was extremely handsome with his eyes covered.

"May she always be by your side in the future journey and kill all the enemies of the Empire for you, brave warrior, Horatio Cochrane."

"May your future always be under the sacred glory of the Emperor and Sanguinius, my lord."

The two said goodbye to each other like close friends, and their words and deeds were full of respect for each other.

Even Farida opened her mouth in shock, looking back and forth at Horatio and the Blood Angels.

"Captain Horatio... and the Emperor's Angel of Death are... friends???"

And the naval soldiers next to him were completely stunned in a silent stunned silence.

On this extraordinary Sanguinius Festival, their worldviews were refreshed again and again.

——

On the damaged Cobra frigate on the outermost alert.

"Captain, the combat readiness and rest have been very effective. Thanks to the God-Emperor, the troops transported by the Indefatigable have played a very important supporting role for us."

"Very good, thank you to Commodore Perru." The female captain wiped the sweat off her face, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the ship attendant to hand her a glass of wine to moisten her throat.

The wine was still in her throat, and the warrant officer who served as the chief of the bird suddenly shouted.

"Captain, subspace fluctuations have been detected! The readings are surging! God-Emperor... This is... Subspace jump!!"

"What?" The female captain was choked by the wine in her throat, and the purple wine stained the decent and noble silk scarf at her collar.

"Verify!"

"Confirmed! Captain, it is indeed a subspace jump fluctuation!" The lieutenant of the lookout department confirmed.

"Communications! Send a warning signal to the Indefatigable immediately!" The female captain stood up and shouted.

"It has been conveyed!"

In the void, the warning signal sent by this Cobra-class frigate spread to all nearby ships in a very short time like a beacon.

In the command bridge of the Indefatigable.

"Captain, we received the warning information from the destroyer "Starfire". In the northwest channel, a subspace jump fluctuation was detected at a place suspected to be a potential Mandeville point at 9 void chains away from our ship!" Lieutenant Sterling reported to Commodore Peru calmly.

Suddenly, Lieutenant Sterling frowned.

"Captain, another subspace jump fluctuation was heard from the 10th to 13th void chain in the south. We are caught in the middle."

Commodore Edward Peru frowned.

But as a veteran who has served the Imperial Navy for decades, this is not the first time he has seen such a battle.

Or should we say, when has the Imperial Navy not been attacked by the enemies of the Empire who came out in full force?

These cowards don't have the guts to fight the warships of the excellent Imperial Navy one-on-one, so they can only hope to use wolf pack tactics to defeat the master with random punches.

"Let each small ship team keep an eye on the two jump rifts. Once the number of ships and the type of ships are identified, report immediately. Captain, sound the first-level combat readiness alarm again, and let everyone enter combat status from combat readiness rest."

"Yes, Captain."

[What Horatio said was right. And it's an attack from both sides? ]
