After the military parade, the supreme commander of the expeditionary force made his final speech——
Dear citizens of the Empire! Dear Brother Astartes! Soldiers! Commissars! Officers! Generals and marshals!
I congratulate you on your victory!
Defending the great empire of mankind is a sacred thing, and it is you who have created this great cause!
Everyone still remembers how the enemies in the depths of the maelstrom plundered, massacred, destroyed and destroyed everything in the empire, trying to create terror and fear, weakening and disintegrating the order of the empire from within!
But they didn't get it, and they never get it!
Whether it is the Astartes, the Astra Militarum, the Navy, the warriors of the Ecclesiarchy, or the envoys of the Omnissiah, they all unite in battle, cover each other in the hail of bullets, and are as close as brothers.
This is the power of the empire, this is the great and indestructible power of mankind!
Together we charge into the battlefields of Badab, fighting the enemy in the Endymion Sector, the Angstrom System, the Lamptan System, the Bloody Bones Cluster, the Colkeria System, and the Maga Cluster.
.
In the end, we completely crushed the Red Pirates, a heretical group that had been causing trouble for the maelstrom for hundreds of years, in the Kara galaxy!
This expedition will forever go down in history as a great victory for the unity and spiritual strength of the entire empire, an unparalleled feat accomplished side by side by people on the front and behind, and it is precious to each of us.
In the Maelstrom, there is no family that has not been ravaged by the war. This memory will never be erased. Those young soldiers whose lives stayed at the last moment deserve the eternal mourning of all of us.
Here, we pay tribute to all those who supported the expedition, to the citizens who resolutely resisted, to the brave soldiers, to the fearless Astartes, to the staunch believers and messengers of Omnisiah, to all the dead and living!
Honor belongs to heroic humans!
For victory! For the Emperor!
Amid the roar of mountains and tsunamis, the image disappeared. Hayes just sighed and murmured to himself:
"it is finally over."
On the way home, Andina suddenly secretly whispered something to Hayes.
"Hayes, you brought those people up from the bottom nest and rented a house for them, but it cost a lot of money to eat and drink every day without doing anything. In addition, you spent a lot of money some time ago, and now the family's funds are very fast.
It's about to bottom out, and the mountains of gold and silver left behind by my father can't withstand such a huge amount of money."
Hearing Andina's complaint, Hayes pursed his lips. Those 14 veterans had done such a big thing for him. He couldn't let them stay there waiting for revenge, but what Andina said was true.
.
"I'll find some work as soon as possible."
As soon as they got home, Hayes saw a man wearing a gray coat, a hat, and a black handbag waiting at their door.
At first he thought he was some kind of salesman. There were quite a few such people in Zhongchao, so he walked over and said with a smile:
"Sorry, we don't need anything at the moment."
"That's Sergeant Hayes, isn't it?"
Hearing the other party mention his military rank, Hayes was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, what's the matter?"
The man smiled and took out a business card from the inner pocket of his coat.
"Are you interested in joining our New Homes Program?"
Hayes took the business card, looked at it and frowned.
"New Home Group?"
Turning it over, it is a picturesque pastoral scene.
"Who is your company?"
"A new home for someone of your caliber."
The man smiled, then opened the box and took out a pile of information.
"A real, new home."
(Hays Line, end)
"Remember, take good care of yourself and don't worry about so many things."
In the manor, Veronica adjusted Soshyan's cloak. Behind her was Lorena and other Eldar personnel. A miniature portal had been opened.
"Well, I understand. It didn't take long, so I'll go back right away."
"besides."
Veronica suddenly stared into Soshyan's eyes.
"I know the nun will go with her, so don't cause any trouble."
"What are you making a fuss about? You're too much."
"Anyway, just remember it."
"Okay, okay, I remember it."
"Also, don't always get angry over trivial things. It's useless to be angry. Remember to eat when it's time to eat."
"Um."
Afterwards, Veronica and Soshyan kissed for a moment. As soon as she turned around, Soshyan suddenly took her hand, then hugged her back and said softly:
"Veronica, please pay more attention to your safety. If you are pregnant, don't run around. Take care of yourself and wait for me in the royal court."
"Hmm~"
After the two were intimate for a moment, Veronica disappeared into the portal with the other Aida, heading to the distant ark, and then returned to the Eternal Court.
One day after Veronica left, the fleet of the Astral Knights assembled in the Gogotan Wasteland, surrounded by warships from other chapters.
"Brother Azrael, we look forward to our next fight together. If you need any assistance, just send someone to Nathan 4 to let us know."
After hugging Azrael for a moment, Soshyan let go of each other with a smile, and Azrael also smiled.
"Similarly, if Brother Soshyan needs any help, you can contact any monastery fortress of the Chapter, or other Chapters."
In about half a day, most of the war groups left the maelstrom, including the Minotaur war group. They had new tasks and orders. The tauren leader also had a meaningful conversation with Soshyan.
, he always feels that the other party may be far more complicated than he thinks.
The ranger warriors of the Tribulation Alliance stayed in the Maelstrom, while other war groups escorted the Scar of Victory back to their original base. Since the Lamenters had canceled the Atonement Expedition, they recruited some new soldiers on the spot in the Maelstrom. It also took some time to digest and practice asceticism.
The Tearers also need to recruit soldiers again. The Flesh Tearers also secretly obtained a group of new soldiers, but they still need to be screened.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the end, only the company of the Imperial Fists went to Terra with the Astral Knights, as well as the Mantis Warriors who had obtained the consent of the Terran envoy, and the Wanderer of the Iron Hands
I also wanted to go to Mars, so Soshyan took the other person with him based on the principle that one more person wouldn’t cost anything.
It seemed that in just the blink of an eye, the huge expeditionary force had disappeared.
"Commissar Yarrick, I hope this expedition will be helpful to your cause on Armageddon."
As one of the reinforcements for Armageddon, Yaric naturally wanted to return to the planet. He held Soshyan's finger, and a smile appeared on his old face.
"I don't care much at this age. The only thing I hope is that before I am buried in the grave and my soul returns to the throne, the Emperor can have mercy on me and let me bring that damn Bonecrusher to my door, so that I can truly end its dirty world.
life."
Soshyan smiled and nodded.
"If it comes, the Astral Knight will definitely arrive. If this is the case, then it will not have another chance to escape. By the way, there are still some people. They must see you before leaving."
As the bridge door opened, more than forty recruits led by Jacob walked in, and then they all knelt down on one knee. This was the highest courtesy for a Space Marine.
Alex walked up to Jacob and gently patted the other man's shoulder with his trembling one-arm, tears twinkling in the corners of his eyes.
"Okay, okay, Jacob, you are your father's pride, and I am proud of you too."
Jacob stared at Alec and said sincerely:
"Uncle Yarick, I hope you take care of yourself. I will definitely deliver the Bonecrusher's head to you personally in the future."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Yaric scanned every warrior from Armageddon and said excitedly:
"This is the man of Armageddon! I hope you will live up to the emperor's expectations in the future and make your hometown proud of you with victory and glory!"
"yes!"
The roars of dozens of people shook the bridge floor.
When Armageddon's fleet left, the fleet heading for Terra also entered the opened rift amidst the roar of the subspace engine.
Happy birthday to the Third Emperor Guilliman, Silver League book friends~
