Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

After receiving the judge's approval, Horatio defended the knight in a loud voice:

I can prove with behavioral facts that the Battle of the Airport was not commanded by the Imperial Navy. All tactical action decisions and plans were handed down to all combat departments in the name of the Astra Militarum staff team left behind at the time.

In this regard, all the Astra Militarum staff officers at the time can serve as witnesses. Next to me is their representative.

Major Weston. I hereby apply for the witness to speak. "

Horatio looked at the sub-battalion commander whom he selected as a member of the staff team and smiled.

"Permission to speak." After whispering for a while, the leading judge nodded.

"Of course! My colleagues and I can prove that there was absolutely no heretical scene in which the Imperial Navy interfered with the command of the Astra Militarum on the battlefield at that time.

Captain Cochrane has always conscientiously performed his duties as the flagship aviation commander of the Gothic Squadron of the Imperial Navy. He used Imperial sea aviation aircraft to attack heroically, blocking and severely damaging enemy forces.

Ground warfare is efficiently carried out by the Astra Militarum officer corps. "

“Yes, judge, we can all testify.

The Imperial Navy has no suspicion of involvement in the command of the Astra Militarum, but is firmly performing its duties.

So do we. "More than a dozen star army lieutenants also stood up and said in unison.

During the trial, if Sir Wellesley is really found guilty, then in the next step, other Astra Militarum officers will inevitably bear joint liability.

To clarify these interests, Horatio had already reconciled his confession with the major and his subordinate officers.

Moreover, he does not monopolize the war achievements alone. Every Astra Militarum officer who performs his duties conscientiously under him has a share. His report has the name of every staff officer.

After all, as two different systems, whether to add military merit points to oneself is decided by the joint supervision of the Imperial Navy Gothic Fleet and the Fleet Military Supervision Bureau.

And they certainly do not have the authority or interest to calculate the contributions of the Astra Militarum officers.

Therefore, sharing military exploits with an Astra Militarum officer will not reduce his military merit points within the Imperial Navy system.

In this case, it is not just a favor, everyone has a share, the more the merrier.

"As the witnesses are interested parties in this case, if their individual testimony is to be accepted by the court, they need additional guarantees. Is there a military supervisory committee to prove your claims?"

Horatio decently took out the video recorded in advance by Farida, the military supervisor, and after obtaining permission, it was publicly played in court.

Except for Anya Fasha, no one present knew anything about the deep relationship between Farida and him.

And after Horatio told the whole story, Farida, who was already cynical, also complained about it.

I don’t think convictions should be based solely on dogma. At least these civil servants should analyze the specific situation in detail!

Therefore, she followed her inner judgment of justice and made an exception to do a 'post-facto proof'.

As a famous member of the navy, she also made a major contribution to the Abyss Port incident. In the eyes of everyone, she is regarded as a woman whose loyalty has been completely tempered.

Even though she was only a senior trainee military supervisor, her words were very weighty.

In addition, she was the only member of the Military Supervisory Committee present at the time, so her testimony was regarded as important evidence by the court.

Sir Wellesley turned to Horatio, and the naval captain gave him a slight nod.

The man raised the corners of his mouth, chuckled, then straightened his back and looked squarely at the judge.

Then in terms of liquidating Juetu’s command behavior when he served as the commander of the first brigade.

Horatio had already attracted the rescued Mordian commander and senior staff officers before the trial, relying on his status as an imperial naval officer and the favor of providing air and ground support.

Although these Mordians, who were able to relieve the siege in time with the help of the British, still had their trademark seriousness and arrogance on their faces.

But they also told the truth about the great tactical and strategic value of the 1st Brigade and how to alleviate the crisis on their front.

In the end, due to overwhelming witness testimony, the military court adjourned for two hours and had to acquit Sir Arthur Wellesley.

However, they still revoked his position as commander of the First Brigade and his status as a brigadier general on the grounds of contempt for the military supervisory committee, and sent him to manage the fortresses captured along the way.

Although General Cornwallis expressed his firm and stern objection to this decision, it was summarily dismissed.

This judgment requires enforcement.

The judges then selected a senior officer from the shortlist to continue as commander of the 1st Brigade.

Later, Horatio heard that the new commander was actually a political figure. He lacked military exploits and actual combat experience, but because he was good at playing politics, he became a senior officer by currying favor with dignitaries in the Ministry of War.

Thinking about it this way, the military court's insistence on removing Sir Wellesley from his post is worthy of careful consideration.

"Thank you, my colleagues in the navy." After the trial, Lord Wellesley, who was acquitted, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Horatio, saying from the bottom of his heart: "You are so kind."

"Being honest with friends is my code, and seeking truth from facts is the justice I insist on." Horatio also stretched out his hand and held his two white gloves together.

"The experience of fighting with you is a memory that I will never forget, and I will also tell it to my descendants in the future so that they will remember it forever.

I see you like that fierce horse and the RV very much. I know that this cannot express one ten-thousandth of my gratitude, but please accept it anyway.

The former is one of Attila's best improved horses, and the latter is a model specially customized by Britain from Rolls-Royce Forge World, and then assembled with the best silk and daily necessities in Britain. I hope you will continue to like it in the future. Of course, I still owe you a big favor. "The knight smiled.

"Well, the black horse is indeed an obedient horse, and the RV is also very comfortable to live in, at least that's my experience. "

"It seems that it just listens to you. When I tried to tame it, dozens of my servants were thrown to the ground and trampled and injured, and three unlucky guys were bitten and severely disabled. It cost so much to make it a little docile. "

While the two were talking, Horatio's communication beads suddenly rang.

"Captain, what are your orders? "Horatio saluted Captain Perru in the shadow.

"Captain Horatio, please return to the flagship Indefatigable immediately. The entire fleet has been on level 2 combat alert. The auspicious department has detected that the enemy fleet is approaching. All naval officers must be on duty immediately."

"Yes! Captain, I will return to the ship immediately. '

After Captain Perru nodded, the two ended the brief communication.

"It seems that you will be busy." The knight exclaimed.

"It seems so."

"Goodbye, Britain welcomes you sincerely."

"I will go when I become the captain."

"Well, it seems that we will meet again soon."

The two laughed together.

In this way, the two officers, who belonged to different military organizations of the empire, with one blue and one red uniforms, smiled and saluted each other, turned around and walked towards their respective paths until the day they met again.
