The strange man who suddenly appeared pointed to his nose when he heard Hachet's question, and his smile became even weirder.
But suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared and became very serious. This extreme change of mood made Hayes a little stunned.
"I am your company commander."
"ah?"
Everyone was in an uproar, even Hayes.
Hachet's face was full of doubts.
"You are our company commander? Why haven't I heard..."
"Your previous company commander is dead, and now I am."
Hayes blurted out immediately.
"Then what's your name, company commander? I don't even remember the last company commander's name."
"My name is Ouranios."
With that said, the weird man jumped off the sandbag and came to Hayes' side. Then he threw away the gun, picked up the ice cream that Hashet had left for Hayes, and took a big bite before Hayes could stop him.
.
"Wait, this is-"
"Children should not eat so many sweets, they will develop tooth decay~"
Hachet stretched out his hand and put his hand on the other person's shoulder.
"Hey, hey, what do you mean by bullying a kid as soon as you come here? You said you are a company commander. What evidence do you have?"
"evidence?"
The man then pulled his neck and screamed.
"Political Commissar!"
After a while, A Yin ran over. Just now he was organizing the soldiers to build a holiday tree.
"Political Commissar, am I the new company commander?"
Ayin glanced at it, then smiled at Hashet and said:
"Captain Oulanios is the new company commander, just transferred here."
Hachet was speechless now.
Ouranios finished the remaining ice cream in several mouthfuls, then wiped his mouth and said:
"Let's go to celebrate the festival!"
Although Hayes was a little angry that the other party ate his own ice cream, at least he remembered the name of the new company commander this time. Soon the soldiers began to celebrate Sanguinius Day, and the logistics was also a rare occasion.
Beer was delivered.
Tonight, there will be a celebration here at the place where they fought and died. The soldiers who survived the disaster will celebrate their victory. They will drink, revel, laugh, and think about the days of peace.
Tomorrow, the war will continue.
In high-altitude orbit, Arash, who had been struggling to open up the situation, finally received good news on Sanguinius' Day. In the Brunsk Hive, an unexpected breakthrough shook the enemy's defense line, and the Star Boundary
The army decisively invested armored forces, expanding the breach from a few kilometers to dozens of kilometers, and went in the opposite direction, using the enemy's effective pipeline maneuver tactics, and used elite assault troops to quickly go around to the enemy's side and back to launch a surprise attack.
Although the final offensive was stopped by the enemy Chaos Space Marines, the lower hive of Brunsk Hive has been basically occupied. This is the first time in the month since the Battle of Drad Star that a hive is expected to be liberated.
As the newly appointed Chapter Commander, and was entrusted by Soshyan with the important task of Theater Commander, Arash has always had a heavy burden in his heart. He was worried that he had failed to live up to the expectations of the Legion Commander, and he was even more worried that he had damaged the honor of the Chapter.
, which in turn affects the entire expedition process.
This victory was a blessing after a long drought for him, and Arash immediately sent a commendation telegram to the commander of the front in the name of the theater commander.
Not only that, in order to boost morale, he also specially commended some outstanding frontline commanders and personally awarded them the Winged Skull Medal - a traditional badge with a long history, which is usually made of iron.
Engraved, it usually adorns the pauldrons of armor and is often widely awarded to frontline commanders who display inspiring leadership during a victory.
In addition, the most unique thing about the Winged Skull Medal is that it is the only medal in the Astra Militarum that is derived from the Adeptus Astartes. The design of the Winged Skull Medal is also adopted within the Chapter as a medal for non-commissioned officers.
A symbol whose history can be traced back to the Great Crusade.
During this process, a special hero was "operated" by certain forces to come to Arash, and that was Colonel Arni Morales, the commander of Abubakari's 310th Infantry Regiment.
Arash was also a little surprised. He did not expect that the person who opened the situation would be such a young officer with no previous military experience. What was even more surprising was that he led an army of the lowest level and in principle should have the weakest combat effectiveness.
of cannon fodder.
So he met with Colonel Arni Morales alone, highly praised his performance in leading a weak brigade but achieved incredible results, and his courage to go to the front line to fight the enemy at close range, and then awarded him a winged skull.
Medal, and praised him as having a "promising future."
After that, Arash personally went to the front line of the nest city, inspected various fronts, and gave instructions to the frontline commanders to "do not be afraid of sacrifice and fight to the end." Finally, he came to Abu Bakari accompanied by a group of senior officers.
310th Infantry Regiment.
This was also the first time that Hayes saw a real Space Marine. Although they were five or six hundred meters away and there were guards blocking the way, it still made him so excited that he almost screamed.
With that towering figure, that mighty armor, and that awe-inspiring temperament, Hayes was convinced that that was a man's ultimate goal.
Arash was busy with military affairs and did not have time to stay too long. After a brief look, and with Arni's repeated entreaties, he planned to take a photo with the officers and leave.
While taking a group photo, Arash suddenly caught a glimpse of Hayes, who was staring excitedly behind the guard's arms. This little guy's size was really out of tune with the people around him, and he was spotted at a glance.
Driven by some sudden curiosity, Arash waved to greet the other party.
At that moment, Hayes seemed to be in a dream. He walked to the Space Marine almost like sleepwalking. Against the background of the opponent's huge figure, he really looked like a child.
Arash first asked his name, and then his age. When he learned that he had just turned sixteen, he immediately praised him as a "little hero." Then the sharp-eyed Arash noticed that Hayes' hair was a bit...
Weird, so he reached out and lifted off the opponent's helmet. Thirteen neat strands of hair suddenly stuck to his slender head, and everyone burst into laughter.
Even Arash laughed. He touched Hayes' head and said that he was a "lucky little hero blessed by the Emperor." After all, in the Empire, thirteen was an auspicious number.
When Arash invited Hayes to take a photo with him, Hayes even thought that he heard wrongly. He never thought that he would be able to stand with those officers, or even the Astartes, but it just happened.
Then Arney unloaded the regiment flag from the flagpole and handed it to Hayes, who held the flag and took a photo with everyone. This was supposed to be an honor, but the awkward part came. When everyone stood in position, Hayes
Because he was too short, the flag dragged on the floor in his hands. The photographer could only keep asking him to raise it higher, and then raise it higher——
When the camera finally took a picture with a few slight kacha sounds, only the serious-looking officers, the majestic Space Marines, and an inexplicable "hanging" regimental flag were left in the picture...
