Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 280 04.0279: ‘Welcome back’

The incident in Abyssal Port was settled with amazing efficiency thanks to the efforts of all parties.

In most of the Upper Nest areas that were not disturbed by the riots, the triumphal ceremony ended successfully with cheers and applause.

The Salamanders and the Holy Rose Sisters restored order on the streets of the Middle Nest.

The Corpse Guild dealt with the fragmented bodies and bloodstains on the streets with amazing efficiency. Just one day later, the streets seemed as if no bloodshed had ever happened.

Many people did not know about the underground world, but that night, they received news from the news broadcast that the Guild Alliance voted to give up the right to govern the planet.

But the Guild Alliance did not disappear after abdication. The new president of the Corpse Guild, the beautiful but mysterious ‘Pale Funeral Princess’ Hadinis, cleaned up the internal affairs and returned the Guild Alliance to what it should have been - a guild alliance that provides infrastructure services for the entire planet.

Faced with the vacated planetary regime, various forces argued endlessly.

But this time, the Imperial Fleet had its own plans.

The Imperial Fleet is composed of three major departments: the Imperial Navy, the Charter Fleet, and the Civilian Fleet.

Its decision-making body is the Sector Imperial Fleet Committee, whose members are subject to a lifelong responsibility system and are represented by representatives of the three departments.

In the administrative meeting led by the Ultramarines, after endless debates day and night, Cato Sicarius mediated with amazing wisdom.

All parties finally agreed to divide the 900 seats into three parts.

The Imperial Navy captains selected by the Gothic Fleet occupy 300 seats, the Imperial Charter Fleet captains occupy 300 seats, and the Imperial Civilian Fleet owners occupy 300 seats.

The 900 representatives cover all different classes and political ideologies of the Abyss Port.

The Imperial Navy Gothic Fleet will be responsible for the overall security management of the planet.

The Naval Tribune and Naval Tribune system have left the Naval Prison District.

Cato Sicarius, referring to the way of the Five Hundred Worlds, abolished the Hive Police and replaced them with City Supervisors.

These people are different from the naval infantry. They are pure militia, composed of citizen volunteers, and they train twice a month, once for military and once for law.

At the same time, they will also serve as firefighters.

Their superiors are tribunes appointed by the Imperial Navy, and only tribunes have the power to enforce the law.

Tribunes are divided into naval tribunes and public security tribunes.

The former are served by naval lieutenants stationed in the port, or alternate officers who are not assigned on board.

The latter are served by charter captains who are proficient in law, or respected civilian ship owners.

Very Roman.

Yin Shuyao's cousin was shot in the shoulder and was injured and hospitalized, but the Empire did not hold him and the leader of the citizen army, Feui, responsible.

However, since the citizen army also attacked the people of the Imperial Navy, in order to mediate, the tribunes and tribunes will also be responsible for collecting public grievances, but the citizen army organization is not allowed to continue to exist.

As a respected civilian ship owner, Enjolras's father also became a member of the planetary politics.

At the invitation of Inquisitor Ravenno, the leader of the Citizen Army, Feui, embarked on a new life path: becoming a member of the Black Ship.

On the docking station of the star port.

"Are you leaving, Inquisitor? This is faster than I thought." Horatio came to the star port to see off the Inquisitor.

He looked very haggard.

"The situation of the Empire is in danger, and the galaxy is burning everywhere, Lieutenant." He smiled and replied with the lyrics of the promotion song:

"I will go to Damocles Gulf first to pave the way for the Empire's expedition. Maybe we will see each other again soon."

"Maybe."

"What are you going to do with that girl?"

"I will send her to Holy Terra, where she will pass the trial, and the result of the trial will determine her future.

The great cause of the God Emperor is waiting for you to complete, and the vision of the unknown territory is waiting for you to open up. I wish you a smooth sailing in the upcoming expedition. The God Emperor expects you to perform your duties conscientiously."

Horatio saluted the Inquisitor solemnly.

"I heard that Ms. Farida chose the path of the Military Supervisor. Please help me give this Sky Eagle Pendant to Military Supervisor Farida."

Horatio recognized it. It was the relic of Military Supervisor Melina.

"I think this relic is more memorable to her."

"Please take care, Inquisitor." Horatio stepped forward and took the pendant from Ravenno.

Ravenno nodded and then led people onto the black ship.

Behind him, five Death Watch warriors also boarded the black ship from the other side.

Titus, wearing a red hood, looked at the mortal who had fought side by side with him and nodded slightly.

Horatio solemnly performed a Sky Eagle salute to the legendary warrior.

Among them, Horatio also saw a figure with a bright red body.

Through this opportunity, Brother Romain Rolland, who finally chose to join the Death Watch, silently expressed his blessings to Horatio.

In the near future, they will all step onto different battlefields to fight for the fate of the empire.

——

Afternoon, in the largest private room of the No. 5 cafeteria of Zhongsi College.

Bang! Puff!

After shaking several bottles of sparkling wine produced by Quatis, amber wine gushed out.

"How do you feel about getting the commission from the Star Domain Navy Department? Captain Horatio~" Archie was responsible for "firing" and celebrating for Horatio.

The official name of the Navy Lieutenant is Junior Captain, and Archie erased the prefix of "Sub" with high emotional intelligence.

Beside him, there were dozens of classmates who were close to him, including Louise, Archie, Fideo, Leidos, Harvey, David Betty, etc.

"It feels great!" Horatio smiled proudly.

This was just the first game. The Admiralty gave him a vacation of one Terra week.

Later, he would take Farida to Vice Admiral Samuel Hood's house to enjoy the promotion banquet. Brigadier General Peru and Lieutenant Sterling also prepared one for him. Even Lord Elphinstone Colonel invited him to his official residence for the banquet.

Once he got the star field-level official establishment, the endless social activities were beyond imagination.

This did not include the invitations from many dignitaries in Abyss Port. Even Ms. Hadinis sent a congratulatory letter and spent a huge amount of money to book him a tourist destination on the planet, the Halbeth Manor, which is known as a ski resort and stargazing paradise, for him to rest and entertain before the voyage.

After receiving the commission, Horatio did not forget his old classmates who had helped him during his busy years in the Navy Department.

The 25th Squadron is a standard support fleet, and its commander is Sir Edward Perroux.

Thanks to this operation, the students in front of him also obtained the qualification of candidate officers of the Navy Department and were promoted to the Officer Preparatory School.

As a junior captain, he recommended them to Edward Perroux, and their performance in the Navy Department during this period was also obvious to all, so they all got the qualification to board the ship.

So these students are very happy today.

"Just yesterday, I was still worried about whether I would be transferred to the battleship as a candidate officer." David Beatty smiled bitterly, but he was relieved after all.

"Well, what's wrong with being a candidate officer on a battleship?" Louise didn't understand this very well.

"Of course it's not good! A battleship takes a long time to repair after an expedition!

And the fleet battles we go out to participate in are all apocalyptic-level fleet battles. Most of the time, we can't get any merit. If we really encounter a war that requires battleships, forget about merit. It's your own life and death." David Betty danced with exaggerated expression.

"In fact, small ships are promoted the fastest, because they have the highest attendance frequency, are most likely to get military merit, and are relatively safer than battleships.

Although the promotion of lieutenants is mainly based on time, if you want to be promoted to lieutenant colonel, you will have a greater chance of success on ships with high attendance frequency." Horatio explained to Louise intimately.

It's normal that Louise doesn't know this, because David Betty, as the second son of the Ravensburg family, is aiming to be promoted to colonel and captain at the fastest speed.

Going to ships with too low attendance frequency is not conducive to accumulating military merits for promotion.

So it is not the case that the bigger the battleship, the faster you will be promoted. The maintenance cost of a battleship on a long voyage is comparable to that of a squadron composed of cruisers.

Battleships have complex structures and are difficult to maintain. After each voyage, it takes several years to maintain the huge hull.

Therefore, before a clear enemy fleet appears, the fleets will not send out battleships at will. Those officers assigned to battleships can only stay in the port and receive half pay. Many people die of old age without waiting for promotion to school officers.

Therefore, battleships are also ridiculed by naval officers as "nursing homes".

Unless they want to live a lazy life, no ambitious officer will think of transferring to battleships when there are no consecutive battles.

Of course, after the 13th Black Expedition began, that was another matter.

"So friends, cheers for our upcoming expedition!"

"Long live the Gothic Fleet!" The young people stood up together and cheered together.

——

After three rounds of drinks, the young officers' celebration for the expedition ended, and Horatio let the Thinker Array drive itself to Farida's house.

"Mr. Officer, long time no see." The old housekeeper bowed politely.

"Is Farida at home?"

"She is in her room."

"Thank you."

Horatio walked straight up.

He opened the door, and in the bedroom, Farida, wearing a neat military supervisor uniform, turned around hurriedly.

"Why are you here?" Farida lowered her eyelashes and tilted her head slightly, looking like she had regained some girlish habits.

"Can't I come to see you?" Horatio smiled.

"When did you go to bed with Valina?"

"Uh... no." Horatio was stunned by her first question:

"We were... rolling in the ring at that time, and there was a reason."

"I know, Valina told me everything." She sighed and continued:

"Anyway, I swore to serve the Emperor, and I might die that day. I don't care about you. This is also your freedom and power."

Farida turned her head to the side, as if to convince herself.

"Really?" Horatio approached her, took off his hat and hung it on the back of the chair casually.

Bang!

He pushed her against the wall, and Farida raised her head suddenly in shock.

Horatio pinched her beautiful chin: "If you were with me at that time, maybe this wouldn't have happened. But this time I won't let you escape again."

"Let go...let go, Lieutenant Horatio. I am now a military supervisor and I am still in uniform. How can this be decent." Farida blushed and stammered.

"I like this." Horatio smiled and put his lips on hers.

"Mmm!" Farida couldn't push him away at all.

To be precise, she didn't use any force at all, she just resisted symbolically.

Horatio picked her up in her long boots and breeches and threw her on the bed. He kissed her cheek and unbuttoned the gilded buttons of his uniform.

"Welcome back." Horatio whispered in her ear.

Farida stroked his hair, breathed a sigh of relief, and chuckled, "You too, welcome back."

I had never thought of creating two groups before, but one day, someone came to my book friend group and proudly said that he had moved my book to Biquge, and even posted a link in the group.

I was sick of the face.

The reason why I have to delay posting the extra chapter for a day is that I haven't created the group yet.jpg

I'll do it when I have time today.

It's done. Qidian's "only for full subscription users" does not include VIP discounts (raw grass).

VIP users may have subscribed to all but not enough points.

In this case, you can join the book friend group, and then send me a private message with a screenshot of the full subscription, and I will pull it in.
