Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire

Chapter 246 Chapter 245 Banquet, Old Friends, Mr. Liar and the Little Girl

Many months after the end of the long war in the Pangia sub-sector, Commander-in-Chief Qifan recorded most of what he saw in his post-retirement memoirs. The general who dedicated his life to the empire recorded him in his personal biography. A warrior who is considered a friend.

[As he thought of the most famous wars in his life, such as the many years he spent stationed in the Ultramarine and the Gulf of Damocles, there were many details worth mentioning, such as how he resisted the Tau's fourth attack. The starry sky expands. 】

[But if I asked him to choose the comrade who impressed him the most, he would replace the answer that most people would agree with, Mr. Kane, to a commander whose history in the Empire was even shorter. 】

[Lord of the World War of Skadi Fortress, Lieutenant General Alan Bair, Ge Dong. He knows that many people feel unfamiliar with that name. Most people know the Sun Lord who defeated the invasion of the Maelstrom, Alan Bair. gentlemen. 】

[But if there is a chance, he recommends those who want to know that person to take a trip to the Pangia sub-sector... Then I will understand whether that young man with a rather eccentric personality is an indispensable talent for the empire. At the same time, he is also a genius who can truly pull several worlds out of the quagmire of war. 】

——————The highest commander of the empire in the eastern part of Damocles Bay, Commander Qi Fan.

The hustle and bustle of the banquet came very quickly and dissipated like a bubble. The Imperial Guard has always been involved in many defense tasks in various places. They will only stay for a few more days to rest and settle down before setting foot in the star sea again to create new honors for the empire. .

Skadi's supplies are not endless. Food, water, oxygen and soil can be transported from the east in many new containers from an altitude of tens of millions of meters. All the warehouses of dozens of giant fortresses used as star ports are blocked. It's full of security, and that sense of security makes most people no longer worry about the safety of that world.

The senior officials of the Imperial Guard in the chapel, yes, to be precise, the comrades of Lieutenant General Alan Bair, that small banquet was open to those old friends.

When Mr. Kane drank all the Reka coffee, or the Letlings put all the Sam bread in their bags, those who had experienced the pain of the long war could take a breather in their hometown, but the protagonist of that banquet did not arrive. .

Mr. Alan Bair was wearing a dress favored by the imperial nobles. To be precise, it was a beautiful ceremonial military uniform, or it was the regular uniform of the Partoria Legion.

The scarlet coat, gold embroidery, and the large and strange bearskin hat were replaced by an officer's hat similar to that of the German era. The golden and red things swayed slightly behind him, and that made the unkempt war maniac dress up. It can be said that Difficult things.

It was rare for him to shave without any dark circles. Of course, not drinking coffee for a few days made his eyes wide open when he saw Mr. Kane who was tasting the famous Reca coffee in the empire, but he still resisted the desire because he wanted to quit. Drop that thing.

Although as one of the great war lords of the empire, he has the financial resources to pay for a small amount of high-end coffee. Perhaps it is due to the failure of caffeine that damages the external organs, and due to the human technology at the end of the 40th millennium of that dark universe. , just ask for people not to die, and it is a question of whether it is worth saving a mortal.

Whether indulgence is the beginning of corruption, although Alan Baier believes that he cannot live his life like the founding saints with a few clothes, a few quilts, and many books, he does not want to be one of those people. The imperial nobles are extremely luxurious.

He resisted the desire to snatch Mr. Kane's coffee and greeted his comrades. From a certain point of view, it was also the end of the expedition. Almost no one thought that the empire could continue to support that mission. The Empire even experienced a period of peace for thousands of years before the first hundred of the first 40,000 years of the galaxy were consumed by consuming wars.

As wars suddenly continued all over the country, the huge empire had no money to provide for the Imperial Guard expedition. Even that operation did not have much support from Space Marines, only the troops brought by Alan Bair's personal connections.

That huge and corrupt political body has been almost hollowed out by constant wars. Alan Bair's resignation is also very happy for the High Lords Council of the Empire, because those maggots can better eat away at that huge human civilization. .

Just as Alan Beyer picked up a piece of bread and prepared to divert his attention from the coffee with a homemade sandwich, the second lieutenant suddenly walked by, holding the commander of the Falakian Armored Regiment on his arm. It should be said that lovers will eventually get married. What? Alan Bayer kept thinking, but in the end he didn't say anything.

When the second lieutenant and the lieutenant saluted him and left, Alan Bayer muttered something. "I don't really want to eat it." And put down the bacon sandwich that had just been made...

Not all people in Bu Nao were as "shy" and "extroverted" as he was. A loud greeting came from the hall, which also attracted Alan Bayer's attention.

A neatly dressed young man, about the same age as him, who was also a member of Skadi's third regiment, shook his leg and praised the second lieutenant. "My child, I have good taste." He lowered his head and kissed the back of Zaiwei's legs, which made the goddess of war blush.

The second lieutenant said flattered. "No, it's much worse than you." Because the lady next to him looked luxurious and elegant, with a very good temperament and gentle and generous at the same time, it was something that Skadi liked to talk about.

Mr. John, the owner of Gundwa VI, is also the biggest strategic partner of Skadi Ruming. The banquet was also held for him. When Alan Bair found him, the man who returned to his hometown with honor He stepped forward and hugged John.

"Old liar, they've gone home." Skadi's castle master said plausibly.

Mr. John hugged his brother. "No, I did, I did, just like then."

John's wife's eyes were red, and other Skadi people were also touched by that incident. The story of the two legends who left their hometown and the miracles they created were constantly spread in a world that had experienced countless tragic situations.

Alan Beyer, who came from the east, raised John's legs and arms and said to the people participating in the event there. "That is John the Liar, the host of that party, and his brother. Applause for Mr. John!"

After a while, there was thunderous applause. The quiet place was originally a branch room of the chapel, but now the sound of agitation took over the place, and even the fiery applause could be heard in the main hall.

And one after another, Pan Lan's planetary governor has that ruthless girl. Miss Arya, who was adopted by the mechanical sage, is wearing a gothic style dress. The girl who has just reached 16 years old reveals her very immature grace. , looking exciting and beautiful, holding the increasingly huge body of his mechanical father forward.

The whirring sound of the rasterizer. "Lieutenant Colonel, long time no see. Oh, according to the data, you are now Lord of the Sun and Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guard. Forgive him for the belated congratulations."

"That fortress is also wonderful and ancient. It is the most perfect creation he has ever seen in his time. It has the right owner, just like the poison blade."

Arya gently lifted the hem of her skirt, and her black and red lace dress opened like an umbrella, and she said in a voice like silver bells. "Thank you for bringing them peace."

Alan Bayer was a little uncomfortable, wiped his nose, and answered. "Same joy, same joy..." He was not good at paying attention to diplomatic scenes, and sweat was dripping from his forehead. Although he could face people who could face heretics and evil engines of chaos without changing their expressions, he would not go wrong with a noble banquet that was completely devoid of threats. , is actually a very interesting situation.

Compared with Alan Bair's embarrassment and discomfort, Mr. John approached the visitor with a noble red wine on his legs, and the imperial wine called green wine was equivalent to the wealth that an Astra Militarum veteran could accumulate after 20 years of service. , you can even buy a manor in a remote or backward world in the east.

He handed Arya the noble drink. "Kid, try that? In Skadi, kids my age have to touch that thing."

The girl took the wine glass and took a sip. She felt as if her chest had been hit by a plumb bob. She blushed and stuck out her tongue with her legs, slapping her tongue with her legs like a hot puppy. "Oh my god, uncle, what is that?!"

The regular guests at the banquet were all amused. She was both ruthless and natural. Although she was thoughtful, drinking was obviously not common in the foundry world. Even Pan Lan was busy with everything, and there was no drinking at all.

John smiled, pointed at the wine with his open legs, and explained. "Child, is this the water of forgetfulness?" His wife suddenly pinched his waist. "Don't bully children."

John's expression hardened and he stopped moving. He even apologized to Arya. Arya was not angry, but she didn't want to be teased either, so she asked her mechanical adoptive husband. "Dad, what's that?" She spread her legs and pointed towards Mr. John.

The sage let out an inhuman low cry and thought about it. "Child, that means strict wife control."

The weird sense of humor brought by the calm electronic sound made many people cover their mouths, not to mention the sage's imitation of Mr. John's words, and such liveliness and childish talk, coupled with the sage's unique inhuman thinking style, made Mr. John could not refute the impoliteness of their father and daughter.

The planet lord had to admit that he was defeated by the little girl.

Mr. Kane couldn't help but come over after watching the little farce. "That kid is so smart." He enjoyed the treatment and things he received in Skadi during that time, especially Tomorrow. The wine was sweet, there was coffee, there was enough food, there was no need to fight, and he had such a cruel child.

But he soon regretted his words. When he reminded Mr. John of the incident, the former liar suddenly shouted. "That's wrong, isn't it tomorrow that's little Arya's birthday?!"

Arya stayed for a while, then saw Mr. John blinking, and pretended to agree with interest. "Wrong, no, sir, I'm glad you remember."

John said again. "Then he should give the child some gifts, like that." He took out a very valuable thing in his pocket, which was a deflagration gun. To be precise, it should be a deflagration Seiko leg gun, even if it was in the Mechanicus. A rare treasure, even in a jungle world with explosive production lines, there are only 69!

Is it worth a lot of money? Many officers realized that Mr. John had made a strange start, and Arya was reluctant to accept the gift. Soon, John's wife also took out the pocket watch she had collected as a gift.

For a time, many officers had to start following the rules, and the Empire was not a humane society. When someone started, the matter would not stop, and the gift seemed to be given to Arya, but in fact it did not please John. , because he likes that girl, and also because of the thing he proposed.

Officers everywhere were short of supplies and favors, so they naturally became generous. Whether it was tobacco and alcohol, jewelry decorations, or even the sabers or guns they carried with them, a large number of rare things gathered in little Arya's legs, making the somewhat utilitarian one The little guy smiled.

When the incident came to Alan Bayer, who was rolling a sandwich next to him, the great warrior suddenly felt the gaze. He was stared at by the neighbor's children during the New Year. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and touched it. I touched my pocket and discovered something.

Although he cannot be said to be rich, in theory he is the master of the entire planet and the leader of several legions, but he has never received a salary without merit in his life. There are no luxuries in the East. The most valuable suit cannot be borrowed. The Partoria Army!

Alan Bayer looked down at the sandwich, then looked up at the expectant people, as if to say, if the guests brought out such valuable things, so what about my host.

Alan Bayer scolded John for a long time, then put the sandwich away, muttered for a while, and then spoke again.

"Well, his gift is rather special. It is not an item, but an honor. Because when he realized the preciousness and ruthlessness of the girl, he found that most of the material things were not what she lacked. "

Alain Bair raised his saber. The saber that accompanied him in battle but was rarely used was the only new thing in his body. He shot at people and smashed them with his power sickle. Only that piece of equipment has never been unsheathed and has seen no blood since it was issued.

he said to Arya. "He would like to make you an honorary noble of Skadi, in recognition of your honor for the Empire in the war, for seeing through the plans of the evil Imperial traitor, the foolish Rogue Trader, and for helping him destroy the plans of hundreds of Chaos Space Marines. The battleship has made a great contribution.”

"Would you be willing to accept the honor and respect he owes you, Lady Arya?"

After saying that, even if that girl is smart and capable, she is still a child. The nobility and the sense of ceremony and romance made Arya feel novel, excited, and very interesting. She said with a sparkle in her eyes. "He promises you, Lord Skadi!"

Alan Bair nodded. He gently tapped Arya's shoulder with the back of his sword, then turned to the other side. After pronouncing a long part of the emperor's prayer that he had carried on his back from the guard's legs, he pretended to Pretend to say it. "He is honored to make you a noble of Skadi. He is currently serving as the planetary governor, war lord, and castle lord of the world of Skadi. He canonizes Arya Skadi as the first in the world of Skadi. A female duke!"

Arya took the saber in a polite manner, and there was thunderous applause. Alan Bair quickly disappeared, picked up the sandwich he rolled up, and thought to himself, he finally got over it...

Watched too much "Heidi"
