"I heard that you have taken care of these brats well during this period."
In the camp of the 11th Company, Talos was having a long conversation with Bahram. The two were in a circular garden, and the surrounding flowerbeds were filled with a kind of midnight blue flowers.
After hearing Talos' words, Bahram scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Don't say that... The main reason is that everyone is willing to give me face. Every one of the soldiers is very good."
Talos sneered, reached out and picked a flower from the flowerbed nearby, took a bite, and immediately spat it out.
"Bah, bah, bah, this wordless flower is really bitter. That boy Sablin is really talking nonsense. He told me before that this flower will become sweet. He also believes what the female gardener said...but it is very consistent.
This name, Silent Flower, Silent Flower, basically means it’s bitter if you can’t say it.”
Then, he turned to look at Bahram.
"Boy, do you want to be a company commander?"
"ah?"
Bahram didn't react for a moment. After a few seconds, he shook his head vigorously.
"I, I can't. Only you can lead the 11th Company."
"What if I die?"
"how come......"
"Why not? Have you ever seen any Space Marine who will not die? As you say in church every day, death is the final return, even better than the Black Knight Sigismund... There is still no way to escape death, and I certainly can't either.
exception."
Bahram was speechless for a moment.
After thinking for a long time and hesitating for a long time, he finally uttered one sentence.
"Captain Talos, after all... I am not of the blood of the Eighth Legion."
"Ha, in this chapter, or in the future, what do you think bloodline means? I'll give you a number, Imperial Fists, World Eaters, Midnight Sons, Thousand Sons, Emperor's Children, and you guys
How many immortal armies are there?"
"But I..."
Talos looked at him and suddenly said meaningfully:
"I have read the report of the previous actual combat training. I can only say that your words have little meaning in this shitty galaxy, but I think your behavior is okay."
"Behavior--"
Talos smiled.
"You made up that woman's ending, right?"
Bahram lowered his head slightly.
"I read the records. After she was caught by the Hive City Guards, she was raped by several people, and then she was executed and silenced. Together with the child in her belly, what was handed over to you was just a corpse...
.Although Sablin executed those guards, you still felt uneasy about your conscience and were afraid that the soldier's conscience would also be tortured, so you made up a perfect story."
Looking at Bahram's gloomy face, Talos reached out and patted his shoulder.
"You are such a hopelessly naive guy. In the era of the Great Crusade, a person like you would never have gotten ahead."
Bahram's lips moved a few times, but he couldn't utter a word.
"Sometimes, people who have stayed in the shadows for a long time will feel that the sun is particularly dazzling when they step out occasionally. The reason why I think you are suitable is because you can help those brats adapt to life in the sun."
"Captain Talos..."
"However, Soshyan may also have arrangements for you. You can make your own choice then."
With that said, Talos stood up and looked up at the sky. The original deep darkness was being forced back by the warm morning light.
"Its daybreak."
Bahram stood up immediately. He hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.
"Captain Talos, are you feeling well...?"
Talos turned his head, with a calm smile on his face.
"fine."
After that, he walked out of the garden and said loudly:
"I have some personal matters. You can handle today's training for them. I will come back later to check and accept it."
On the other side, Soshyan took Malakin for a whole tour to visit the various new facilities in the monastery fortress and the training of the soldiers, as well as the production line being built by Reza.
Malakin was extremely surprised by so many possessions of the Astral Knight, but he didn't know that Soshyan hadn't really shown him the good things in the armory. Then Soshyan told Malakin that he would give a batch of new equipment to him.
The weeper.
Malakin refused at first, saying that he would not be rewarded for his efforts, but Soshiyang mentioned that they had a battle with the Black Legion on the Pailu Star. There will definitely be wars between the two sides in the future, and all members of the alliance need to face it together.
, Malakin agreed to accept this batch of equipment and supplies.
Then Soshyan also introduced several company commanders in the battle group to Malakin. Malakin was also curious about why he did not see the third company commander Farzad. Soshyan told him that Farzad had been in the previous operation.
Injured and receiving treatment.
At night, Soshyan held a simple welcome banquet for the Lamenters' distinguished guests. A Chapter Company Champion following Malakin also had a friendly sparring match with Robin. Robin narrowly defeated his opponent and won the
Malakin highly praised him and bluntly said that his future is unlimited.
Afterwards, Malakin left Nessen IV and returned to the battle group stationed at the Scar of Victory. He also had many things to deal with.
Soshyan, who was finally free, immediately thought of Talos. The thing he had been doing before had been delayed until now due to various chores, and then he invited him to a "family banquet".
But the location is not in the monastery fortress.
"Hmph, husband, is this what you looked like when you were a child?"
In the mansion where Soshyan lived in the past, Veronica, who was wearing a light green dress, was looking curiously at the photo frame on the living room wall with her fair and slender arms behind her back. There was a couple and a boy in it.
Soshiyang, who was wearing regular clothes at the side, nodded when he heard this.
"Yes."
"Hehe, he looks silly and silly, but he is also very cute."
Hearing this, Soshyan just smiled.
The mansion is cleaned every day, so it is very clean. However, today the servants were told not to come, and only some servitors and robots were left in the house.
"Well, this is much better than that cold fortress."
Taking her eyes back from the photo, Veronica glanced around. The house has three floors in total. It is not very big, but the interior furnishings are fresh and unconventional. The foyer stretches to the north and south, and there are bay windows for viewing on the walls, making the living room very special.
Bright and warm, it blends indoor and outdoor scenes.
Although the furniture cannot be called luxurious, it is well maintained. The traces of time on it do not damage the overall structure, but make the whole environment full of nostalgia and thoughts.
"If you like...you can make this your home."
With that said, Soshyan took out a few keys from his pocket and handed them to Veronica.
Veronica also accepted the key with a direct smile.
"What are you talking about? You are my husband, and your home is naturally my home."
Soshyan then took Veronica to visit various parts of the mansion, including his mother's chapel and his childhood bedroom. Veronica seemed very interested when she saw Soshyan's childhood toys.
"It's well preserved, maybe it can be used in the future?"
"Ha, it must be difficult."
Standing behind the shutters of the church, looking at the vast land outside Soames Nest in the distance and the lush mountains, Veronica couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep breath.
Then, she turned around, gently hugged Soshyan's waist, and whispered:
"Husband, you must have been very sad at that time."
"Um......"
"But I think my mother must have been happy in her last moments because her son was back with her again as a hero."
Soshyan was silent, just brushing his wife's hair gently with his hand, recalling the aging face again in his mind.
How great it would be if parents could see themselves now...
