After the military parade, the Supreme Commander of the Expeditionary Force gave his final speech—
Dear citizens of the Empire! Dear monks of Astat! Soldiers! Political Commissars! Officers! Generals and Marshals!
I congratulate you on your victory!
Defending the great human empire is a sacred thing, and it is you who created this great cause!
Everyone still remembers how the enemies in the depths of the Great Vortex plundered, slaughtered, destroyed and destroyed everything in the empire, trying to create terror and fear, weaken from within, and disintegrate the empire's order!
But they failed to do it, and they never did it!
Whether it is Astartes, the Astral Army, the Navy, the Warriors of the National Church, or the Messengers of Omnisaiah, they all united in battle, covered each other in the rain of bullets, and were as close as brothers.
This is the power of the empire, this is the great and indestructible power of mankind!
We united and charged towards the battlefield of Badab, fighting the enemy in the Endymion sector, the Angustorm galaxy, the Lamptan galaxy, the Bloody Skeleton Cluster, the Korcreya galaxy and the Marg Cluster.
In the end, we completely crushed the heretic group of Red Pirates that has caused trouble for hundreds of years in the Kara Galaxy!
This expedition will be recorded in history forever, it is a great victory for the unity and spiritual power of the entire empire, an unparalleled feat accomplished by the people on both the front and the rear, and it is precious to each of us.
In the Great Whirlpool, no family has not been ravaged in the war, this memory will not be erased, and the young soldiers whose lives remain at the last moment deserve eternal condolences for all of us.
Here, we pay tribute to all those who support the expedition, to the citizens who resisted resolutely, to the brave soldiers, to the fearless Astart, to the stubborn believers and to the messengers of Omnisaiah, to all the dead and the living!
Honor belongs to the brave mankind!
For victory! For the Emperor!
Amid the roar of mountains and tsunamis, the image disappeared, and Hayes just sighed and murmured to himself:
"Finally... it's over."
On the way home, Andina suddenly secretly whispered to Hayes.
"Haes, you brought those people from the bottom nest and rented a house for them, but you didn't do anything and would cost a lot of money to eat and drink every day. In addition, you spilled a lot of money some time ago, and now the money at home is about to bottom out soon. The mountains of gold and silver left by my father can't stand it so much."
Hearing Andina's complaint, Hays pursed his lips. The 14 veterans had helped him do such a big thing, and he could not let them stay there waiting for revenge, but what Andina said was also a matter.
"I will find some work as soon as possible..."
As soon as he got home, Hayes saw a man wearing a gray coat, a hat and a black handbag waiting at their doorstep.
At first he thought he was a salesman, and there were a lot of people like this in Zhongnong, so he walked over and said with a smile:
"Sorry, we don't need anything at the moment..."
"Is it Sergeant Hayes?"
Hearing the other party mentioning his military rank, Hayes was stunned and nodded.
"Yes...yes, is there anything?"
The man smiled and took out a business card from his inner pocket of his coat.
“Do you want to join our new home plan?”
Hayes took the business card and glanced at it and frowned.
"New Home... Group?"
Turning over, it is a picturesque pastoral scenery.
“What is your company?”
“Providing a...new home for someone like you who are capable.”
The man smiled, then opened the box and took out a stack of information.
“Real, new home.”
(Hays line, end)
"Remember, take good care of yourself and don't worry about so many things."
In the manor, Veronica had a cloak for Soshyan. Behind her were Lorena and other members of the Spiritual tribe, and a miniature portal had been opened.
"Well, I got it, it's not long, I'll go back soon."
"besides."
Veronica suddenly stared into Soshiyan's eyes.
"I know that nun will follow you, don't make any trouble."
"What's the matter? You're too..."
"Anyway, just remember it."
"Okay, okay, I remember."
"Also, don't be angry because of trivial matters. It's useless to be angry. Remember to eat when it's time to eat."
"Um."
Then, Veronica kissed Soshiyang for a moment. As soon as she turned around, Soshiyang suddenly grabbed her hand, then carried the other person back into her arms, and said softly:
"Veronica, you should pay more attention to safety. If you are pregnant, don't run around. Take care of yourself and stay in the royal court and wait for me..."
"Yeah~"
After the two were intimate for a moment, Veronica disappeared into the portal with the other Adas, headed to the distant ark, and then returned to the Eternal Court.
A day after Veronica left, the fleet of the Astral Knights gathered in the Gogotan wasteland, and there were other battleships from other battle groups around.
"Brothers Azriel, look forward to our next fight together. If you need any assistance, just send someone to Nesson 4 to inform us."
After hugging Azriel for a moment, Soshyan smiled and let go of the other person, Azriel smiled.
"Same, if Brother Soshyan you have anything to help, you can contact any monastery fortress in the battle group, or... other battle group."
In about half a day, most of the battle groups left the vortex, including the Minotao team. They had new tasks and orders. The Taurus Lord also had a meaningful conversation with Soshiyan. He always felt that the other party might be much more complicated than he thought.
The rangers on the Alliance of Suffering remained in the Great Vortex, while other battle groups escorted the Victory Mark back to their original garrison. Because the Crying Expedition had cancelled the Atonement Expedition, the Crying One recruited some new recruits on the Great Vortex, which also took some time to digest. The Ascetics also needed to re-summon soldiers. The flesh-torchers also secretly got a group of new recruits, but they still needed to be screened.
In the end, the only one who went to Terra with the Knights of the Stars was the Imperial Fist company, and the Mantis Warrior who had the consent of the Envoy of Terra. In addition, the wanderer of the Iron Hand also wanted to go to Mars to see it. Soshiyang also brought the other party with him in accordance with the principle of one more person.
It seemed that in just a blink of an eye, the huge expeditionary army had disappeared...
"Political Commissar of Arrek, I hope this expedition will be helpful to your career in Amigdon."
As one of Hamigeddon's reinforcements, Yarik naturally wanted to return to the planet. He held Soshyan's finger and smiled in his old face.
"There is nothing to care about at this age. The only hope is that before I buried my grave and my soul returns to the throne, the Emperor can mercy on me and let the damn bone-breaker come to my door, so that I can truly end its dirty life."
Soshiyang nodded with a smile.
"If it comes, the Astral Knight will definitely arrive. If this is the case, it will not have another chance to escape... Oh, by the way, there are still some people who must meet you before leaving."
As the bridge gate opened, more than forty recruits led by Jacob came in and all knelt on one knee. This was the highest etiquette of the Space Marine.
Arric walked up to Jacob and gently patted the other person's shoulder with his trembling one arm, tears flashing in the corners of his eyes.
"Okay, okay, Jacob...you are the pride of your father, and I am proud of you."
Jacob stared at Arrek and said sincerely:
"Uncle Arrek, I hope you take care of yourself. In the future, I will definitely send the Bone Brokener's head to you."
"Okay! OK! OK!"
Yarik swept over every warrior from Hamigedon and said excitedly:
"This is the man of Hamigiddon! I hope you will live up to the emperor's hopes in the future and use victory and glory to make your hometown proud of you!"
"yes!"
The roars of dozens of people made the bridge floor tremble.
Chapter completed!
