Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 57 02.0057: ‘Bathing in the Glow’

Horatio sat up and saw that the servitors were divided into two groups. The first group was wiping the blood on his body, and the other group was cleaning the blood on the ritual altar. Judging from the amount of bleeding in front of him, the operation was really serious. Small.

"Is this done..." He covered his slightly groggy head and saw his naked body.

That's right, he was sitting naked on the surgical altar at this time. The beautiful goddess priest was standing next to him holding the Mecha Axe, her eyes were fiery, and she was looking at him with a smile, as if she was admiring her perfect work.

Horatio's originally thin body turned into a full body of muscles. It is difficult to imagine how the mechanical priest did it.

[Uh... forget it, she is such an adult, and she is a genetic priest. She has never seen anything in the world, what should be seen and what should not be seen, and she has just finished the surgery. ]

Horatio gave up hiding his simultaneously strengthened specialties and stood up to stretch his muscles.

A nerve plug was implanted from the back of his head to the upper spine that was suitable for connecting to the chain of command of the Imperial battleship.

This is an implant that every Imperial Navy officer must have implanted. It is used to convey the officer's will in the form of bioelectric signals to the various command hubs of the battleship as quickly and accurately as possible. This is the key to determining life and death on the entire ship.

Since Horatio is a student in a command department such as the Fleet Maritime Department, this set of connecting slot devices will be implanted in advance when he is 16 years old.

The device that was put on him was very light and replaced part of the original bones and tissues, but it had no special feeling. It was only covered from the brain spine to the middle of the spine with bionic leather that was almost the same as the skin.

In the middle of the shoulder spine, a large Imperial double-headed eagle emblem is drawn on the servo skull using laser tattoo synapses, and just below it to the buttocks is the rudder emblem of the Imperial Navy.

The infusion tube on the original arm was disconnected, and a few drops of blood flowed out, but the wound quickly clotted on its own at an extraordinary speed.

Perhaps due to the residual effectiveness of the analgesic pump, Horatio did not feel much pain on his body. On the contrary, he felt that his whole body was full of power that he wanted to vent.

"Please move it and test the results."

Horatio struck forward with a swift, straight punch, which was so powerful that if it struck someone, it could break a bone.

Whoosh——

A servo skull suddenly rushed towards Horatio. Horatio reacted instantly. He immediately turned over and stepped off the stage. Within 0.2 seconds, he responded head-on. The original arm made of flesh and blood struck with a wind-breaking punch, knocking the skull away. , so fast that Horatio himself was really surprised.

"Thank you for your hard work. But did you move this prosthetic limb during the operation?" Horatio looked at the milky white lubricating oil mucus remaining on the tips of the iron fingers containing synapses, and moved his fingers and various parts. Rotating joints ask.

"I just added some lubricating oil and coolant. Such a great mechanical creation must be carefully maintained." The priestess stepped forward, and the prosthetic leg behind her quickly wiped away the remaining milky white liquid.

[The upper limit of the numerical value was increased. Wasn’t it her fault...? ] Horatio looked at the priestess who kept looking at his body with some confusion.

"It seems that the operation was perfect. I witnessed the birth of the most powerful mortal warrior in the future. Ah~ it is indeed my work!"

Lettie held her face in her hands excitedly, stepped back and looked at Horatio's whole body with a mixture of admiration and doting.

"However, you are not in the most perfect state yet. You seem to have been lacking nutrition all year round. Even if I come up with my most advanced research results, I will not be able to reach my full potential for the time being. However, I believe that the food and exercise at the Naval Academy will soon make up for it. at this point.

Congratulations on successfully passing the first test of becoming a loyal heir, Mr. Horatio Cochrane. "

Horatio straightened his brand new uniform in front of the mirror.

The uniform that was originally a bit spacious now fits just right. In just two or three hours, the image of myself in front of the mirror changed from a thin and thin clerical staff officer to a lean and simple young soldier.

"Thanks."

Horatio saluted the priestess gratefully, turned and walked toward the door.

"What an interesting individual, haha." Letty-EB2A1 turned around on the spot, looked at Horatio's retreating back, and said with a deep smile.

Horatio pushed the door open. The two leaders stood outside the door talking and waiting for him. Seeing Horatio's completely different appearance, they were silent for a long time.

"Why didn't I remember that the loyal heir of the Navy could become stronger after surgery?" Captain Sterling looked at Horatio up and down.

This guy's temperament changed 180 degrees after he entered and came out, and he became more like a heroic imperial soldier.

"Maybe it's a new technology." Horatio prevaricated.

"Father Ratty is a very outstanding young priest. In recent years, he has won many imperial honors for his inventions and improved designs. Many people in the Navy come to her to customize and modify weapons, equipment and vehicles. She is very reliable."

"She turns out to be so powerful."

"Yes, she is also the only Mechanic Priest in Abyss Port who will do the work for you if you give her money. This is not common in the Mechanicus Order, although Father Ratty has attracted a lot of criticism for this, and has been criticized by many colleagues. Exclusion, but this does not affect her loyal service to the Imperial Navy."

"She is more like the daughter of a wealthy businessman than a mechanical priest. She doesn't know why she joined the Mechanicus Order. Let's go, your sword-granting ceremony is about to begin."

Brigadier General Edward put his arm around Horatio's shoulders, and a small book with the oath prayer was stuffed into his hand.

Led by a monk of the State Church, the three of them walked into the church-style hall of Zhongsi College.

The hall was filled with incense, and a red-robed cardinal stood on the pulpit, holding a staff inlaid with various gems in one hand and an exaggeratedly large Holy Book of the State Church in the other. On both sides of him stood a row of monks in gray robes who were chanting, and two white-robed priests.

"This is the first important ceremony in your service career. Cheer up, child."

Brigadier General Edward patted Horatio on the shoulder, and then he and Captain Sterling walked to the right side of the pulpit, took the mahogany box with a velvet pillow from the monk's hand, and stood upright in place, as if forming a part of the ceremony.

"Come forward, child. Accept the glory bestowed on you by the Emperor." The bishop's voice was like a bell.

Horatio took a deep breath, adjusted his bicorne, straightened his chest, and walked slowly forward with steady steps.

The priest twisted the cinnamon twigs, praised the name of the Emperor, and sprinkled holy water on Horatio's body.

A hot wax dripped on the thin parchment, which was stamped with the imperial double-headed eagle symbol and solidified into a pure mark on the amulet. When Horatio passed by, the deacon of the state church directed the acolytes to hang it on his hem and shoulder sleeves.

With the choir singing as the main part and the monks chanting solemn and holy prayers, Horatio felt that he was entering a pure spiritual world that was transcendent and out of the world.

He walked to the pulpit and solemnly performed an impeccable standard eagle salute to the huge angel of death statue about 30 meters high in front of him.

"Loyal son, are you willing to swear a vow reverently in this sacred place?" The cardinal raised his staff.

"I am willing to swear here." Horatio knelt on the ground, facing the statue of the Angel of Death.

"From this moment on, I dedicate my life to the Emperor of God, praying for His favor."

"I am willing to dedicate to Him."

"From this moment on, I dedicate my strength to the Emperor of God, to fulfill His will."

"I am willing to dedicate to Him."

"From this moment on, I dedicate my blood to the Emperor of God, to glorify the purity of mankind."

"I am willing to dedicate to Him."

"From this moment on, I dedicate my wisdom to the Emperor of God, to the glory of the perfect empire."

"I am willing to dedicate to Him."

After Horatio finished his oath, he put his hands together and bowed his head. The cardinal closed the holy book and straightened his chest.

"As a servant of the Emperor of God, I hereby use His authority to listen to and witness your oath, serve as His sword and shield, become a warrior under the throne, and promise you glory."

The cane gently tapped his shoulder, as solemn as the medieval knight's inauguration.

"Now, please stand up."

Horatio stood up straight after hearing the words of the cardinal.

"Today, in the name of the Emperor, I grant you the Sword of the Navy's Loyal Heir. I hope that in your future, you will fulfill your duties and swear to defend His sacred territory to the death."

As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Lord Sterling dignifiedly held the sword box, took three steps forward, and stood beside Horatio.

Commodore Edward Perroux, wearing a solemn and decent white feather and gold-rimmed bicorne hat, walked to Horatio's front and took out a 60-centimeter-long Navy Loyal Heir cadet dagger from the sword box in front of Captain Sterling with both hands.

The scabbard is engraved with a magnificent void war relief painting. The wooden structure of the scabbard is painted black and reinforced and decorated with gold-plated copper parts. It has a kind of heaviness that transcends the identity of a cadet, silently interpreting its identity as a fully qualified officer's dagger.

"Horatio Cochrane, listen to my command. As the Commodore of the Gothic Fleet, I now grant you the Navy's Loyal Dagger. From today on, you will officially become a member of the Imperial Navy. The Emperor hopes that you will perform your duties conscientiously."

"I am honored."

The Commodore nodded solemnly and placed the dagger in Horatio's palms.

Horatio nodded and bowed his head, stepped back a step, and then saluted the people in all directions of the ceremony with the Sky Eagle Salute.

Ding-ding-ding-

The heavy bell on the top of the auditorium was struck, echoing in the sky, announcing to the world the birth of a warrior of the Emperor.
