This White Scar's banquet not only invited Soshiyan, but also the company commanders of the Knights of the Astral Realm. However, Soshiyan refused to let the company commanders have something to do, and in the end only Ustad, Falzad, Armin, Zaraton, and the priest Yazdan, and the Armory Lord Rogris attended. In addition, Soshiyan also called Arash.
The banquet was in the Bogda Hall of Quanzhou Palace. Its main body is composed of three tent-shaped palaces, and the halls are connected by corridors. The main hall is more than 30 meters high and is a double-layer eaves structure. The east and west halls are more than 20 meters high and are a single-layer eaves structure. The back hall and corridor are fifteen meters high. From a height, the entire hall looks like an eagle, the main hall looks like the head and body of an eagle, and the two side halls are like the wings of the eagle spreading on the domes of the three palaces. The golden glazed tiles are particularly dazzling under the bright sunlight. At the top are cloud-head flowers made of blue glazed tiles, showing the colors and patterns advocated by the Chegris.
The banquet was held in the main hall. The interior was still like other palaces in Quanzhou Palace, and it was decorated in a tent. The Space Marines sat in a round shape on felt, with a huge brazier in the middle.
There was a small table in front of each, with silver plates and huge wine bowls on it, and female servants in long-sleeved uniforms kept walking among the Space Marines, holding the desserts, cheeses and other dairy products they held.
When everything was done, Juba Khan stood up. He took a white scarf from the waiter, then placed the wine bowl filled with white wine on the scarf, held it in both hands, and walked towards Soshiyang while singing a strange-toned song.
See your sweaty horse,
I know you're coming from afar ~
The guests come from outside the sky,
Working hard all the way,
Please drink this glass of macadamia wine ~
Milk wine glass shows your mind,
It is said that the guests have good alcohol tolerance ~
We want to compete with you!
When the song ended, Juba Khan had already walked to Soshyang, bowed his head and bent down, raised the white silk scarf and wine over his head with both hands, and signaled to toast.
Soshiyang quickly stood up, took the silver bowl with both hands, and smiled and expressed his gratitude.
Before coming, he learned some of the customs of Chegris. He did not drink immediately, but dipped his ring finger with his right hand three times. After dipping it in the first time, he bounced it into the sky, then poured it into the ground after dipping it in the wine, and finally drank it on his forehead, then raised his head and drank it all without leaking a drop.
After Soshiyang finished drinking the fine wine, Jubahan took the silver bowl with the toast, and asked the maid to fill it and walked towards the next one, the second company commander Ustad.
As soon as he left, Suboden Khan came to Soshyang.
Soshyan had a deeper understanding of Chegris' culture at this time. They treated guests regardless of status. The etiquette was the same when the guests received. Juba Khan, as the commander of the battle, would toast the company commander, and the company commander would toast him, the commander of the battle with the same attitude.
This equal atmosphere is actually quite comfortable to get along with, although I am destined to drink a lot today-
Fortunately, Chegris' milk wine is not very strong. According to Space Marine standards, it is difficult to get drunk.
After drinking, the servants brought huge roasted whole lambs. The roasted golden and crispy livestock were placed in a rectangular wooden red paint tray. The only tableware was a knife, which needed to be cut into small pieces and held in hand to eat.
Soshiyang tried it quickly, and it was indeed delicate, fat and tender, and the meat was delicious.
"Come on, let us join us, respect the Emperor, respect the Empire, respect the Expeditionary Force!"
When Juba Khan raised the wine bowl, everyone responded.
After drinking for three rounds and dishes, Kosaro Khan suddenly introduced the situation of the Third Brotherhood to Soshyan. Currently, the company has 86 soldiers and all equipped with motorcycles and speed attack boats and other vehicles.
The third brotherhood rarely moves on the scale of a company, and mostly uses small and swift hunting teams to track the enemy from thousands of miles away and ultimately give them a fatal blow. Their duty is to hunt the enemy's most powerful and dangerous leaders or individuals.
The dedication of the Third Brotherhood to hunting skills makes them uniquely dangerous in combat. Once the enemy's position is determined, nothing can prevent these hunters from knocking them down, especially the enemy's leaders. The Brotherhood's team will show a very strong desire to approach their victims and kill them, so the trophy racks of their vehicles are often hung with the heads of the Greenskin War boss, the Chaos Lord and Tyron leading creatures.
Subsequently, Kosaro also introduced his deputy, Pastor Jiako, to Soshiyan.
When Khan is summoned to conduct a great hunt, the Brotherhood will fight under the leadership of the priest Jako.
"... Although the Jia Kou brothers are usually taciturn, he is a tiger in the battle."
After Kosaro Khan said this, Soshiyan immediately stood up, picked up the wine bowl and came to Pastor Jia Kou, and handed the wine bowl under the other party's surprise gaze.
"This expedition will depend on a powerful hunting master like you and Kosaro Khan."
"Captain Soshiyang, be polite."
Jia Kou carefully took the wine bowl, then drank it all, and looked at Soshiyang with a much friendly look.
Soshiyan knew very well that it would be useful to lower his posture when facing these arrogant warriors. He could walk along the way, and there were many benefits that modesty brought to him. Therefore, even if he became the commander of the Supreme Lord, he would not put himself very high.
As long as he can be respectful to the wise and the poor, he will not lack powerful warriors.
After returning to his desk, Soshiyang looked at Juba Khan and said in a deep voice:
"Juba Khan, I want to ask for advice on what I have done."
"But it's okay."
"What do you think... what is the chance of winning this expedition?"
Juba Khan thought for a moment and said softly:
"The chance of winning... is only 20%.
As soon as this was said, the Knights of the Star Realm brows slightly frowned, and the warriors with white scars also whispered. After all, Juba Khan had said before that the Expeditionary Force could win, but now he said that the chances of winning are only 20%. Isn’t that just slap yourself in the mouth?
Arash ate the meat quietly, his eyes keeping paying attention to Soshiyang.
Soshiyang looked calm, without refuting or agreeing, but just staring at the big khans through the brazier.
"Please explain in detail."
