After hearing what Hayes said, Benik's smile froze, and in the end he could only carefully put down the bottle.
"Okay, okay... let's use water instead of wine."
After the wine glasses were filled with water, the three of them clinked glasses. Hayes then picked up a Kentish chicken leg and bit into it. The outside was crispy, the inside was juicy, and it was obviously sprinkled with spices.
In three or five bites, he had finished one leg. By this time, Benik had already cut open the ribs with a knife.
"Please use."
Halfway through eating, Parlu suddenly asked softly:
"Chief Hayes, where are you from?"
"Me? Well... my birthplace is in the Maelstrom, but you may not know where it is. Later, the survivors arrived in Kermansha."
"Does that have something to do with the astral angels?"
Parlu said, looking at the small crossed swords symbol on Hayes's shoulder armor. Hayes nodded, picked up a piece of soft cake, broke it open and put it into a bowl filled with thick soup.
"Well, that is a world that belongs to the Chapter. In principle, we are all subjects of the Chapter, and it is the Chapter that organizes us."
"No wonder...it's such an extremely glorious status. Seeing how brave you are, you are indeed a warrior under the angels."
Although Hayes is a relatively modest person, he smiled and waved his hand when the other party said this.
"Captain Parlu, you are overly praised. He is just a company commander, not much of a warrior."
"I think Chief Hayes will definitely be promoted step by step in the future."
"Haha, I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about it."
At this time, Benik suddenly asked cautiously:
"Chief Hayes, how long do you think this battle will last?"
After chewing for a moment, Hayes shook his head.
"It's hard to say, this time the Tyranids are coming very violently, and it seems to be very sudden. Last time we took so long to prepare... But I think it's not a big problem. The chief executive is the number one military strategist and strategist in the empire, and he is just an alien.
It’s just a struggle for a little longer.”
"President..."
The two looked at each other with obvious confusion.
"What do you mean?"
Hayes was a little surprised.
"Huh? Don't you know? Lord Soshyan."
The expressions of both of them changed at the same time.
"The Lord of the Holy Flame...don't dare to call him by his name!"
Only then did Hayes remember that the Holy Flame Order seemed to have begun to spread here, so he patted his head.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm a little... ahem, when I saw that adult last time, he was very confident, so you don't have to worry."
The two people looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
"Chief Hayes...you...you...have seen..."
In fact, they don't quite believe that a small company commander in Hayes would have met Soshyan. After all, although Hayes is already out of reach for them, that person is almost a myth, especially in the Holy Flame Religion.
In the teachings, one is already close to God.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Hayes didn't argue, he just smiled.
"Then you two can just pretend that you heard an unreliable story."
Parlu quickly poured him water and changed the topic.
"Things keep falling from the sky, which makes me uneasy. I'm worried that one day something big will fall and hit the city directly."
"No, there is defense monitoring on the ground. Besides, how could the empire's fleet lose to the original aliens?"
Hayes smiled and took a sip of water, but he was actually not so sure...
"You won't lose this naval battle, right?"
In the Stormbird's cabin, the Terminators fixed themselves in position, while Li Lin's voice kept chattering on the channel.
During the flight, I could occasionally hear one or two dull crashes, and I didn’t know what hit the Thunderhawk’s shell.
"Bahram has never commanded a naval battle in the past, so why did the company commander suddenly ask him to come?"
After hearing what he said, César immediately said:
"Hasn't Captain Bahram commanded large-scale naval battles in the past?"
"Not to mention large-scale, he has never fought on a small scale. He has been in the 10th Company... He has no experience in naval battles."
"Then why?"
Sablin finally couldn't help but speak.
"Li Lin, can you say a few words less? Isn't the company commander on the flagship? Bahram is not commanding it alone. Besides, who has actually commanded a naval battle of this scale except the commander of the army? Malakin? Arash?
Malakin may have commanded a large fleet, but you can't count on outsiders every time. I don't know, I thought there was no one in the Star Knights. There is nothing wrong with Bahram. Although he lacks experience, it's not that he can't learn. He is so calm.
My mind works very quickly, so I think it’s okay.”
Everyone knew that Sablin had a very good relationship with Bahram, so when he said this, Li Lin did not dare to say anything for fear of being beaten.
Suddenly, the radio on Stormbird sounded.
"About to enter the flight deck."
Everyone immediately stopped talking, and at the same time, Cassati's voice came.
"Boys, our mission this time is to save the ship. To put it simply, it is an anti-bounce gang operation. Now there are Tyranids everywhere inside. We have to divide into two teams. I will lead a team to protect the power deck.
If it falls there, this ship will become a dead fish, and we will have to abandon the ship. Sablin, please take people to support the third company commander Ustad. If this ship is really unable to be saved, at least we must
Fish out the man. His position should be on the bridge, but the communication situation is very poor now. You have to try to get in touch with the other party during the move. This will help you complete the mission and survive. The combat robot will assist you.
, but the cabin is very narrow and it is inconvenient for them to move, so they mainly operate in the main channel area. Reinforcement takes time, so you must pay attention to this."
"clear."
"Then let's get started."
With the vibration from the Storm Bird's landing, the red warning light began to flash in the dark cabin, and then turned to green.
The ramp slowly opened, and Sabourin took hold of his power sword and twin melta.
"move."
The Kentka Terminator took heavy steps and walked out of the ramp. There were some fighters and Thunderhawks parked here on the flight deck, and some crew members and soldiers in uniforms and armor were on guard behind the bunkers.
After all the Terminators left Stormbird, Sabourin found the person in charge here.
"How's it going?"
"Sir, the situation...is not good. Our connection with other areas has been cut off. Tyranids almost rushed in a few times. We were forced to seal all entrances and exits, even the vents."
"Do you know the current condition of the bridge?"
"have no idea..."
Sabourin didn't say anything, but opened the miniature screen on his arm to check the structure of the Triumph. At this time, they were on the second flight deck on the right side of the battleship. The bridge was on the defense line to the right and upward, and they needed to walk about 3 kilometers.
journey.
After determining the route, Sabourin walked to the door marked No. 4 on the right. This airlock door was surrounded by a pile of metal garbage, and the door seams were welded shut. You can imagine how scared this group of people was at that time.
Without saying a word, Sabourin directly activated the multiple tubes of hot melt in his hand. Along with the dazzling white light, the stench of burning metal hit his nostrils, and the twisted metal collapsed like melted ice cream.
