Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!
Chapter 351 05.0350: ‘We want to know your story’
Amidst the banging of the eyes, the clear ringing of the triangular bell from the brigade headquarters was also clearly audible, indicating that tonight's dinner has begun.
Horatio put down the empty bowl, thanked the cook decently, and took Louise back to the camp at the brigade headquarters.
It’s still the big, respectful and stylish tent, Sir Wellesley’s royal tent,
The elegant long table, full of style and a rare escape from the atmosphere of the battlefield, is filled with all kinds of exquisite and delicious royal-grade palace food.
[As I write this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝘵𝘸𝘬𝘢𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮]
[It seems that the food in Britain in this world is not terrible, at least not the palace food. ]
There are a total of 13 dishes that are completely different from each other. From the shape to the color and aroma, at first glance, there is nothing outstanding.
What surprised Horatio the most was that several of the ingredients were in limited supply even in the naval officers' mess.
It seems that Sir Wellesley has indeed let go of his small supply storehouse and spent a lot of money.
"Welcome, our hero today!" Sir Wellesley smiled and applauded.
Then, the ladies who had already taken their seats also slapped their white and tender palms wearing lace gloves.
With a silver bell-like laughter.
“Today, thanks to the tireless air support from our dear friends from the Navy, we also contributed such a magical and efficient device as the war sandbox.
As a result, our losses were reduced by more than one-third than expected, and the battle progress was increased by two-thirds, shortening the offensive that was expected to take at least three days and nights to 18 hours today!
Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, you can take some time to attend tonight's dinner. "
"It's my honor to be able to help all my colleagues!" Horatio said with a low-key smile. Seeing how humble he was, the ladies who watched the whole battle today burst into praise and applause.
"Please take a seat. Tonight's dishes are all prepared by my attendant, the Royal Chef."
Under the guidance of the waiter, Horatio sat on the seat facing Sir Wellesley. Louise sat on his right hand and Archie on his left.
There were also two novel guests at the table.
One is Captain Anya Fasha, the air wing commander of the Indefatigable.
When Horatio sent a request for supplies to the Indefatigable, he never thought that it would be this woman with a creamy chocolate complexion who would fly the supplies in person.
As another major hero in the ground support today, Horatio naturally would not let her return directly without emotional intelligence, but invited her to join him for dinner.
The other person is Military Supervisor Farida Hood.
She had not seen Horatio on the Indefatigable for several months. Unable to bear her temper, she applied to the Disciplinary Committee to supervise whether the Astra Militarum treated Captain Horatio Corcoran reasonably. On the grounds of 'treatment on the ground', also came to the ground.
In addition, she also brought with her a letter of recommendation from Captain Edward Perroux to Louise. The captain had agreed to allow Louise to take the sea vehicle captain examination in the second half of the year.
She was in a passionate relationship with Horatio, but she couldn't even see a certain naval captain for several months. This tortured her so much that the execution rate in her district was higher than that of other military prison guards. Two points came out.
Today was a good opportunity to finally get to the ground and meet my lover.
When Horatio picked up the supplies, he was caught off guard and looked into the eyes of Farida who appeared. A sweet smile appeared on her lips uncontrollably, and her long eyelashes and blue eyes fluttered with tenderness that was almost dripping with water.
Looking at his lover, his first lover in this world, stepping on shiny boots,
Horatio was also surprised and delighted when he stepped off the Skyhawk shuttle in his snow-white Navy uniform.
Before sitting down at the table, he took her to hide in a deserted corner and had a passionate intimacy, doing all but the last step to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
After the kiss, Farida snuggled lazily in his arms, feeling his warmth. This was her favorite way of getting along.
The warm and broad chest injects strength into her continuously, and the cool night breeze that melts the snow on the planet's surface does not seem freezing.
After everyone was seated, there was an unexpected guest who was late. After hearing about the victory of the 1st Brigade, General Cornwallis also came here specially to participate in the celebration dinner.
After some pleasantries, Sir Wellesley personally announced the start of the banquet.
‘Please allow me to introduce, this is beef tea pudding, a British specialty snack. I think this naval lady will like it very much. "Sir Wellesley introduced with a smile.
Horatio looked at the plump and smooth transparent pudding. He had already tasted the liquid version with Louise outside, and Jazz's collector's version was naturally even more delicious.
But he really didn't expect that this seemingly vulgar food could also be used as a meal for a senior military officer.
It can even reach the palace hall, and what I didn't expect is that it can become this more elegant appearance.
It was made into a gelatin-like aspic, and there were really large pieces of fresh meat wrapped in crystal clear aspic. Perhaps to highlight the characteristics of the expedition, the wrapped fresh meat was also made into various symbols of Britain.
There are basil, wilted leaves, green onions, carrots and other fresh vegetables garnished on the side.
The specially processed beef tea is finally poured into a mold after it is out of the pot. After cooling and freezing, it is placed on a silver cup and served to the table.
"When we inspected the camp just now, we already tasted this British specialty 'tea'. It was very interesting, but I didn't expect you to be so good at it. Horatio said appreciatively.
That is inevitable. For your contribution, of course we have to serve you well with the best delicacies we can offer here. "The knight and his wife stood up and toasted to the three naval officers.
Horatio also led the two people next to him to stand up together, and drank wine in return.
Then, Sir pointed to a bird with fine serrated teeth and introduced:
'This dish is our British specialty, the Royal Butter Braised Chicken. This dish is the British Royal Smoked Salmon. It is made from the finest salmon in the aquatic world. It is quick-frozen and preserved as dried fish before being sent to the front line. My head chef I personally soaked it and restored it, retaining its rich and fresh fragrance to the greatest extent—.”
It can be seen that the duke candidate is very happy today. He drank a lot at the wine table and talked happily.
After introducing the dishes, he was still unsatisfied and even brought out the emotional anecdotes between himself and Dame Kitty Paxnam as conversation materials, and told the story in front of all the ladies and school officials.
Ten years ago, the then-maiden Lady declined the pursuit of Arthur Wellesley, the fourth son of the family.
Angry, Wellesley burned his beloved violin and joined the army, vowing to make a future and achieve great results, which impressed her.
When Wellesley achieved several great victories on the battlefield, he finally received the title of knight and the position of candidate for dukedom.
As a result, Miss Kitty Paxnam pursued Sir Wellesley on his triumphant return home.
After a period of melancholy, the two finally became a couple.
I was seventeen years old, and Miss Kitty Paxnam was twenty. Different from now, when I was 17 years old, I was still a young, sentimental and artistic young man, and I was much more comfortable using musical notation than a marching map. "Jue Tu smiled while holding the wine glass.
"Hahahaha!" The other lieutenant colonels couldn't help laughing when they heard him describe himself as a "literary young man."
"Then, at a ball, I fell in love at first sight with the dignified and beautiful Miss Kitty Paxnam.
He also played a self-composed violin piece for her. "
When Sir said this, he stroked his wife's hand wearing a white lace glove and said with a beaming smile:
"But for some reason, Miss Parknam rejected me at the time. Feeling depressed, I burned my beloved violin when I got home, and joined the army despite my family's dissuasion. Then as you can see, thanks to With the favor of the God Emperor and Queen, I successfully became a lieutenant colonel at the age of 24.
Well, even though I got it by "donating an official", I finally won the hearts of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior and Miss Kitty Paxnam with my actual military exploits. "
As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out.
"What an interesting story." The past stories of important people always arouse the curiosity of others, the ladies at the table said one after another.
"So, Mr. Corcoran, you must have a very incredible story when you became a naval captain at the age of 18, right? Why don't you take this great opportunity to share it with all the gentlemen and ladies here? "
Horatio was enjoying beef tea with chunks of beef and delicious vegetables.
Seeing that Sir Wellesley was in high spirits and invited him so proactively, the Astra Militarum lieutenant colonels and famous ladies nearby all sent expectant looks.
He calmly put down the patterned porcelain bowl in his hand, took a breath, and said with a humble smile:
"My life has actually been quite ups and downs. If you gentlemen and ladies want to hear it, then I will show my shame.
That’s it in a nutshell. "
Hearing this, the female pilot Anya Fasha, who had just drank some wine and remained semi-invisible and silent during the banquet, also put down her wine glass, placed one hand flat on the table, and supported her bony lower jaw with the other.
Her eyelashes were open and slender, and her big, bright moon-like eyes stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar aviation commander with interest. Her clear blue eyes, and her full and narrow lips, all conveyed an exotic expression. A charming smile.
Faxia stared straight into his eyes, her beautiful eyelashes fluttering like feathers, and she looked slightly lazy.
But he looked very interested.
She had long wanted to learn more about the life of this young and faceless flagship aviation commander.
