The girl named Sarah was wearing a training uniform that was consistent with the surrounding Astartes. It was mainly gray-blue with yellow accents, and it also had the exclusive logo of "Wolf Head" printed on it.
In this way, the identities of the Astartes gathered here can be easily revealed. It turns out that they are all Space Wolves who like to watch the fun, but also like to fight and fight each other.
As for the girl with the red hair and ponytail, although she has a pretty face and a very serious and dignified demeanor, she still looks childish and looks like she is seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Rou~!"
“Bang!!”
"boom!!"
The showdown between the girl and one of the wolves continues.
The wild wolf's attacks seemed to be extremely powerful, and every punch seemed to be punched over the head. The hammer "accidentally" hit the deck, causing the entire cabin to tremble.
The girl was also able to use her strong steps and extraordinary reaction speed to barely avoid the wild wolf attack.
In fact, the wild wolf deliberately slowed down the attack speed and deliberately gave way. Otherwise, no matter how strong the girl was and how fast her reaction speed was, in terms of physical skills and combat at close range, she would only end up being killed instantly against the Astartes.
At this time...
The girl dodged to the left to avoid the wolf's direct punch attack, and then when she and the wolf were intersecting, she turned around and took advantage of the force to launch a fierce roundhouse kick.
"Bang-!" There was a muffled sound.
The sole of the girl's right military boot is right under the wolf's right rib.
On the other hand, the wild wolf was kicked because he was too careless...
"Sarah wins!" She immediately raised her left hand and admitted defeat.
"Eh?"
The girl named Sarah froze on the spot, obviously not expecting the winner to be decided so quickly. No, it should be said that she actually won??
"Oh!! Great job Sarah!!"
"Hahaha! You are indeed our little sister!"
"Jason, you are a piece of trash. You can't even beat Sarah. From now on, you will say that you belong to Iron Fist, not to mention that you belong to us wild wolves. It's a shame!"
Without giving Sarah time to react, the wild wolves watching on the sidelines started to boo, and at the same time complained about the "defeated" wild wolf.
Immediately afterwards.
One of the wild wolves directly picked up the girl and put it on his left shoulder, then raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, in order to celebrate Sarah's eighteenth birthday, it's time to have a good drink!"
"Woohoo~!"
"let's go!"
The wild wolves also cheered in unison, and left the fitness cabin with Sarah, shuttled through the corridors, then took the ship's rail train, and finally arrived at the outskirts of a large tavern...
It seems that among all the legions, only the Space Wolves have taverns inside their battleships.
Sarah, who was sitting on the left shoulder of the wild wolf, was a little confused the whole time.
Sarah's full name is Sarah Kerrigan. She was also one of the survivors of the Battle of Kaplan when the alien storm raged ten years ago. She had evacuated with the flagship of the 13th Battalion of the Space Wolves, the Heifyot.
to the solar system.
After the war, the remaining 13th Battalion tried to search for her mother's whereabouts, but learned that her mother had rushed to Magenmo on a business trip, and the colonial planet less than ten light years away from Kaplan had also fallen.
As a result, Sarah's mother also died at the hands of the devil, and even all her relatives were not spared.
Moreover, the results of her examination showed that she had extremely high psychic potential, so the 13th Battalion reported the situation and submitted an application for the company to adopt Sarah.
After some twists and turns, and Sarah's own wishes, the company finally decided that the 13th Battalion would be responsible for the care and instruction.
Since then, this little girl with no relatives has studied, trained, and lived with the 13th Battalion until now. At the same time, there is also the champion of the 1st Company of the 13th Battalion, who is responsible for teaching how to control and use psychic powers.
The reason for the fight just now was because Sarah wanted to take advantage of her eighteenth birthday to prepare to accept the "traditional customs" of wild wolves——
Fighting and drinking.
In response, the wild wolves naturally agreed to the little sister's request.
However, in terms of "fighting", the wild wolves would never dare to let Sarah use psychic powers at will. You must know that when she was twelve years old, when she released the psychic shock for the first time according to the instructions of the company champion, she accidentally used too much force.
, almost "exploding" their new flagship.
Xin Hao's only two main engines were offline, not overloaded, and did not cause any casualties, otherwise they would really have become "space" wolves.
But in terms of pure physical skills and combat, Sarah is by no means a match for any Astartes. Even though she has been brutally trained by the Astartes since she was a child, her physical fitness and reaction speed are far different.
Does not belong to the same level.
And Sarah is not stupid. She knows that the wild wolves pushed out an "unlucky guy" just to make way for her, and then they were "defeated" by her.
At this time.
Sarah and the wolves entered the tavern through the hatch that would never close...
"Sarah! Happy birthday!"
"Our sister can finally drink to her heart's content!!"
All the Astartes, Auxiliaries and individual crew members congratulated Sarah on her coming of age.
It should have been a touching and heartwarming scene, but when a group of "uncles" and "eldest sisters" toasted a girl in celebration, holding high a glass full of wine, it always felt a little different.
On the other hand, Sarah…
"Drink up!" She couldn't wait to wave her right fist.
From this point of view, the once crying little girl has gradually been "turned into a wild wolf".
Sarah quickly jumped off her left shoulder, passed through the crowd, and approached the bar amidst cheers. She slammed the bar table to the bald wolf who was temporarily serving as the bartender, and said loudly:
"Bring me a glass of Siren Rum, and a draft beer!"
"Oh oh oh!!" Everyone cheered even more.
"good!"
The bald wolf smiled boldly, and immediately poured the amber Kraken Rum into a 500ml draft beer cup of "mortal" size with a few ice cubes, and then placed the draft beer cup on the table and pushed it towards Sarah.
forward.
Seeing this, Sarah picked up the beer glass without hesitation.
"Drink! Drink! Drink!" Others encouraged and cheered.
"The battalion commander is here!"
!!
But a sudden reminder interrupted the atmosphere, causing the cheers of birthday celebrations to come to an abrupt end, and everyone turned their attention to the entrance of the tavern.
I saw an "old wolf" wearing formal clothes, with short hair and beard, who was taller and stronger than ordinary Astartes, standing at the entrance and looking around at everyone present.
The mechanical prosthesis on his left arm and the hideous scar on his left face all indicate that this "old wolf" is the commander of the 13th Battalion, Genro Sigurd.
"battalion commander…"
Seeing Gen Luo appear, Sarah's momentum weakened and she couldn't help but put the beer cup back.
"Kerrigan comes out, others continue." Genluo said in a deep voice, and left the tavern after saying that.
"call…"
Only when Genluo was completely gone did all the wild wolves dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sarah..." The bald wolf took back the half-cup of Kraken Rum, shook his head and said, "It's better to drink the wine later, otherwise the battalion commander won't be able to spare us."
"It's all because I'm too willful and want to drink and fight like you." Sarah blamed herself.
"Hahaha, why should I blame you?" A wild wolf said with a smile: "I think the battalion commander must have something important to talk to you about. After all, he treats you as his own daughter, haha,
Don’t worry about what the battalion commander will really do to us.”
"Yes, don't worry."
"Maybe the battalion commander will give you a birthday present."
Others also agreed one after another.
"Yes, I understand!"
Sarah nodded repeatedly, rushed out of the tavern, and caught up with Gen Luo, who had already walked away.
The whole journey was speechless.
The two came to the battalion commander's office cabin not far from the bridge.
As Sarah got closer, she found a dazzling array of skulls, furs and various specimens hung on the bulkhead, demonstrating Genluo's past achievements.
The porthole window directly opposite the cabin door showed a scene of fault space, but what caught Sarah's attention the most was a silver sword placed on the fixed desk.
Gen Luo remained silent and sat directly behind the fixed desk, while Sarah acted extremely well-behaved, standing in front of the desk waiting for all kinds of "You are still young, you can't drink!", "You are such a disobedient child!
"Waiting for a lengthy reprimand.
Ten years ago, Genro was one of the few Astartes who had faced and successfully killed fallen gods, demigods or trolls, and survived in the end.
However, Genluo also lost a left arm and a heart, which made Sarah almost mistakenly believe that she had the ability to "kill people". Her parents and family members died tragically, and even her savior almost died.
Fortunately, Genluo survived successfully and insisted on replacing his mechanical prosthesis. He also refused to use nanotechnology to restore the scars on his left face, viewing these injuries as a "shame" and "self-punishment."
A moment of silence.
"Batalion Commander... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so ridiculous." Sarah said first.
"Today is your birthday."
However, Genluo waved his left hand lightly to indicate that the farce of "drinking and fighting" was over. Then he changed his previous serious and solemn demeanor, and his tone was much gentler than in the tavern, and asked:
"I heard that you want to become a real Space Wolf?"
?
Sarah was stunned for a moment, then said solemnly: "Yes, battalion commander, I want to become an auxiliary of the Space Wolves. I want to kill aliens and slay heretics together with my brothers."
"Alas..." Genro sighed helplessly and said: "Kerrigan, we are the troops responsible for the edge of Oslo. We have to deal with the bed bug problem all the time. Recently, there are pirates from the Vaelin tribe wandering outside the star area, so
…Are you sure you’re ready?”
"Yes, Battalion Commander." Sarah said firmly.
“…”
Gen Luo has a headache.
Although his adopted daughter is extremely talented, Genluo obviously does not want Sarah to go to the battlefield prematurely, especially at the edge of the star sector where the melee is unbearable and there are many dangers.
"Battal Commander, you taught me what it means to be a human being and what the responsibilities of a soldier are, so I want to become just like you. In my eyes... you are as omnipotent as my father."
Seeing Sarah's serious look on her face, and hearing the key word "like my father", Genluo stopped being entangled in an instant, but glanced at the silver sword placed on the sword's butt and said:
"I remember that you liked "Starlight" when you were a child. Take it away. It's not suitable for an old man like me anyway. Think of it as a coming-of-age gift from me."
This silver sword named "Starlight" is the weapon used by the fallen demigod Perseus.
After Genluo severely wounded Perseus, he was also on the verge of death, and the Starlight Sword continued to penetrate his body.
Several wild wolves were afraid that pulling out the Starlight Sword directly would cause secondary damage to Gen Luo, so they transferred them to the Heifyot with their swords. This move also successfully allowed Gen Luo to withdraw from Kaplan and survive to this day.
.
Countless brothers and descendants stayed in Kaplan forever, but he "escaped". This is one of the reasons why Genluo chose to leave scars forever.
Shortly after the war, Sui Bian rewarded him for his merits and spent 1,000 points to "wash away" the chaotic energy of the Starlight Sword and change its permissions, and then officially gave the Starlight Sword to Gen Luo.
!!
Now, when Sarah learned that Gen Luo was going to hand over the Starlight Sword to her, the solemnity and seriousness on her face suddenly turned into excitement.
"Don't get excited yet." Gen Luo raised his left hand to stop Sarah's overly excited cheers and shouts in advance, and instead warned:
"Starlight can be given to you first, and the 13th Battalion welcomes you back at any time."
"Come back?" Sarah was puzzled.
"That's right." Genluo took back his left hand and explained for Sarah: "I know that once you make a certain decision, your character will not change easily, so I applied to my superiors in advance to officially transfer you to the No.
13th Battalion.
Not long ago, my superiors also responded to my application, and the general meaning of the content is that I agree to approve it, but the premise is that you need to participate in the latest trial of Astartes recruits."
"The trial for new recruits? A trial to go to the prehistoric forest? But I'm not an Astartes..." Sarah was even more puzzled.
"I don't know, but I know that your psychic potential is far beyond ordinary people. Besides, there is no harm in participating in the trial. At least it can make you adapt to blood and killing earlier.
As it happens, the Direwolf will head to Luna Base in three days, so when we arrive in Fenris, let's relax and prepare to rush to the solar system with the Direwolf.
besides…"
Genluo stood up as he spoke, walked around the desk, picked up the Starlight Sword and handed it to Sarah:
"Perform well during the trial and don't disgrace our 13th Battalion, but don't forget that we will always be your relatives."
"Yes...battalion commander, I will definitely not let you down!" Sarah, with red eyes, stretched out her hand to hold the Starlight Sword.
"Don't look like you're crying. Go and put away the starlight and continue your birthday party. Remember not to drink too much."
"Uh-huh!"

…
Shortly after.
"Chairman, Genro Sigurd, commander of the 13th Space Wolves Battalion, has just reported that Sarah Kerrigan will officially participate in this year's recruit trials."
"Yeah…"
Sui Bian, who was sitting in the waiting room and receiving help from the Red Queen to take care of his hair, turned his head slightly and said to the White Queen who was reporting to him:
"Inform Alexia and Rebecca and ask them to help make arrangements, as well as how long it will take for Nova to return to the solar system."
"Agent X018's mission is still in progress and is expected to take thirty-two hours." Queen Bai replied.
"Father." At this moment, Leon also walked into the waiting room and said to Sui Bian: "The auditorium is ready."
"Okay, I understand." Sui Bian stood up, walked out with Leon, and ordered: "Queen Bai, don't forget to wait for Nova to complete the task before sending her the child's information and files.
