Chapter 360: Set Sail to the Home World
Chapter 360: Set Sail to the Home World
The two of them just sat there, and finally Caroline broke the silence and started talking about the information about the High Lord that Harrington had told her before his death.
But Rebos didn't care. After all, those pursuits and obstructions were actually aimed at Lin Heng rather than him, Rebos.
"Lucius didn't have any substantial information. He just used those fragments to induce me to cooperate with him. As a result, you know... our past was disconnected again. He was almost a direct participant..."
Caroline was also very regretful. She had indeed not considered the consequences clearly before taking action, or perhaps she did not have the same desire to reminisce about her past self as Lin Heng did. Now she was a combat nun under the doctrine, and her only purpose in pulling the trigger was not to give the heretic a chance to breathe.
"Gudong... Gudong..."
"Gudong... Gudong..."
The two continued in silence, when suddenly there was a crisp "pop" sound behind them. Rebos glanced sideways slightly, while Caroline turned around to watch.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the Stika sisters pinched the special forces soldier Benson's neck and walked towards the bar, questioning him with their noses pointed at him as they walked.
"Do you really think so?"
Benson raised his hands in surrender and retorted with a sly smile on his face.
"Today is the Ascension Day of the Emperor of God. I will not tell you a lie. The motive for the action is clear. You walked into an ambush, and I don't want to see you die. It's that simple."
Stika curled her lips and snorted. In such a short time, she knew about the arrival of their team and buried a lot of explosives. You are just a special forces soldier, not a noble executive. She has been to so many planets and knows more about the ins and outs than him. But she saw through it but didn't say it...
"Huh? You two are here too."
As he was speaking, Stika saw Caroline and the other person. Benson was stunned, then stood at attention and saluted them.
"I'm sorry, Angel. I..."
"Snapped!"
Stika grabbed Benson's neck again, and this time he snorted coldly:
"You don't have to apologize to him. You were right at the time. Now you are my subordinate and all actions must be under my command! The same applies to apologizing to others."
Benson's eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth turned downwards, revealing a wide smile.
"Am I your soldier?"
"Nonsense, that's what you said in the ward before. Now the governor will definitely list you as a suspect for trial in order to protect himself, so you can only embark on a life of exile.
In order to ensure the safety of every citizen of the Empire and to make good use of every Imperial soldier, you will work for me on the Holy Reason from now on. Don't think about being lazy or playing tricks, it will be very hard." Sister Stica winked at Caroline and teased.
Benson was so overjoyed when he heard this that he almost pouted his lips. He immediately became bolder and said cheerfully:
"It's fine as long as I have you by my side."
Caroline couldn't help but smile as she watched Sister Stica choke Benson with a naked fist. Only after experiencing the battle of blood and fire could one feel how hard this kind of life is to come by.
This is the third day since Harrington's death, and there has been no so-called changes in her body. She is still herself. It seems that Lucius really died in the subspace.
Everything is still acceptable.
"I'm still not suitable for this kind of occasion. You guys continue. I'm going to plan the route to the Forge World with Zachli to avoid running into any team that blocks our way."
Caroline nodded and watched the other party leave. She didn't know where the fight between Stica and Benson ended. She looked at the reflection of her face in the wine and rubbed the rim of the glass with her fingers casually. She always felt that in this situation, it seemed that someone owed her some kind of promise, but unfortunately she couldn't remember it.
"You just blame the other person for being a piece of wood, right?"
Suddenly someone spoke beside her. Caroline turned her head to look at him, and suddenly her eyes wrinkled. It was not because of the other person's beautiful face or proud figure, but because of the fiery red dress he was wearing (in Chapter 78, Lin Heng gave Caroline a fiery red evening dress).
Caroline was stunned for a moment before she burst into laughter, shook her head, sipped her wine and said:
"No, I just don't understand what kind of emotion I should have towards him."
The woman sat down with a smile, and the bartender quickly brought her a glass of bright red wine.
"Let it be, of course. Look at those nobles dancing with their lovers. Aren't they all following their own inner thoughts?
And in the city outside the Governor's Mansion, countless handsome men and beautiful women also chose to get married today. Even if they know that life will be difficult, but two lonely hearts are merged together, then there is still hope, right?"
Caroline nodded to herself.
"Many soldiers will choose to go forward hand in hand with their loved ones even on the battlefield, even if they are about to launch the final charge tomorrow. Because they don't want to leave any regrets.
And you, sister, I can see the emotion contained in your eyes, that is the true love that you yourself are not aware of, the truth hidden deep in your heart, and your most real love. "
As the woman spoke, she reached out her hand to brush away a strand of hair from Caroline's neck, then suddenly pulled her arm back, screaming and spilling the bright red wine onto the table.
Caroline didn't expect the other party to reach out and touch her. She retracted her neck and turned around, but suddenly she remembered her situation and quickly stood up and stepped back.
Although the woman was frightened, she remained calm and apologized repeatedly, saying that she had not rested well recently and that she was rude. Then she smiled, nodded and left.
Caroline was at a loss for words. She reached out and touched her neck, which seemed to have been electrocuted. She nodded and half-explained:
"One last drink... It's almost time for the daily prayers. Good night, lady. May the Emperor protect you."
When the wine glass touches the red lips again, the memories come to me like the waves of wine in the glass, and the picture of that moment lingers in my mind.
Caroline was stunned on the spot, because the fragment she recalled was exactly the evening dress she would wear to such a banquet, and the face of the person who gave the gift also appeared.
"Lin Heng..."
Looking at Caroline who was in a daze in front of the bar, and the purple-red mark that flashed across her neck, the woman's expression began to become happy. She twisted her waist and stretched out her hand to touch the face of the young talent, attracting the attention of both men and women.
Her appearance was like the brightest pearl. The dress she wore was not luxurious, but as she walked, the whole hall was sparkling.
She pulled the groom who was carrying flowers, touched the bride who was wearing a white veil, and her sweet laughter attracted everyone's attention. Everyone, both men and women, seemed to be attracted by each other's proud aspects.
Even Ian was not surprised...
The woman's graceful figure made everyone's souls flutter. Under everyone's gaze, she walked towards the oncoming Pope with deep affection.
"My Lord Pope, do you need me to bring you comfort?"
The woman licked her red lips as she spoke, and the meaning was so clear that there was no other answer.
Ian looked at the people around him expressionlessly. Seeing their envious eyes, he nodded.
The woman was overjoyed, but the next moment, Ian took out a brass knuckle engraved with sacred prayers from his clothes, which flashed even brighter under the light.
"heresy!"
After a punch was thrown, the woman's smile was replaced by a dazed look in her eyes, and her rosy face faded to a cold pale color.
"Ah!"
"Ahh! Aa ...
A terrible scream of pain rang out, and along with this sound that woke everyone up, the hall seemed to darken.
Ian didn't care about everyone's astonishment. He walked forward and straddled the woman. He grabbed her neck with his left hand and hit her face with his brass knuckles with his right fist.
The beautiful face was turned into rotten flesh after just three or five punches, and the white and neat teeth are now broken and chipped.
Ian turned a deaf ear to everyone's shouting. He just stared into the woman's damn eyes, and only after seeing the fear growing in the depths of her eyes did he slowly stand up.
He shook off the blood on his hands, looked at each person again and said:
"Any evil will eventually bow down before the glory of the God-Emperor. No one can resist the majesty of the God-Emperor."
What else could the crowd say? They suddenly came to their senses and hurriedly asked the guards to drag the unconscious woman away. No matter how heartbroken they were, they were prepared to let her be imprisoned until she died.
No one wanted to ruin the party because of an incident. Everyone was looking out for the church. After all, the other party would be leaving soon. Just bear with it for a few more days... just bear with it for a few more days...
A few days later, with the end of the Festival of the Ascension of the Divine Emperor, the Black Ship and the Divine Reason were finally able to set sail.
The Flame of Glory, with only its frame and deck left, was sleeping quietly in the starport. The Machine Soul was sleeping, and the crew of the Fire Covenant paid a collective tribute, thanking each other for carrying them through various battles, big and small, and bringing them in and out safely.
Time was too tight and no one in the chapter wanted to abandon it, especially Technical Sergeant Dean. No one knew the corners of the ship better than him, but unfortunately there was not enough time.
"If you dare to sell her, dare to reform her, let me know that you will regret not dying before me."
Dean threatened the planetary governor, and the governor nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
However, considering the planet's science and technology, it can at most be used as a turret. It will take several lifetimes to repair it and set sail.
There are only a few places that can completely repair and upgrade all types of imperial ships, regardless of size and model.
The next destination the fleet will head to is one of the forge worlds of the Mechanicus, Ryza, which is as powerful as Mars.
"Set off."
...
In the silent and dark starry sky, the stars twinkle with their own light, telling all creatures that can perceive them of the vastness of their vitality and the power that gives birth to life.
Humans, Tau, orcs, and even demons all need planets as breeding ground. Lin Heng is now standing on a planet.
He held a ferocious axe in his hand, and at his feet lay hundreds and thousands of countless monsters of various kinds, including humans, aliens, and cans.
But it seemed that he was the only one left at the scene. The ruined city was full of depression, but the most terrifying thing was not on the ground. He looked up at the sky, and a cold black shadow roared at him.
Lin Heng recognized the origin of that thing. It was a symbol of absolute terror, the mortal enemy of all life, a descendant of the Tyranid Devourer, a disaster that was forever hungry and swallowed everything.
'JIAAAAAA!'
"Uh-huh!"
Lin Heng woke up instantly, jumped up and prepared for battle immediately. But when he saw where he was, the quiet atmosphere and peaceful decoration made him confused again.
He opened his astral vision and scanned the room. When he saw through the thin walls, the room looked like a large hotel. It was not a place full of war at all.
"Tarrazin?"
Lin Heng asked softly, but no one answered him. He stood up and walked to the window where the breeze was blowing. The soft light shone on the wooden floor as the curtains swayed.
The curtains were drawn open with a "swish", and the streets of the foreign city immediately showed its vitality, with bustling humans and Tau people living in peace. Such a grand scene could not appear in the territory of the empire. Even if it did, it would only grow in dirty corners.
Lin Heng's eyes moved, exploring every aspect of the cross street, and then looking into the distance, the endless rows of houses of varying heights were more like the buildings of the Titanium Clan, with clean colors and soft lines, very different from the steel forest of the empire.
With his current perception, there are buildings like this within ten square kilometers. If they built such a large-scale project just to deceive him, then these Titanium people must be very meticulous...
"oi~"
Lin Heng looked somewhere hurriedly, and saw a man in a velvet bathrobe sitting with his legs crossed in front of a store on the street, drinking some kind of beverage and reading a book. The man seemed to smile and nodded, indicating that he should come down quickly.
“It really seems like something he could do.”
Lin Heng then walked down the stairs of the hotel. On the way, he met a few Titanium women, who greeted him politely, nodded, put their hands together, and said "The best way".
"Where is this place? How many days have we been here?" Lin Heng asked Taraxin, who was enjoying himself.
"Well... about 4 or 5 months? If you calculate it in your human time. The place... is called the Home World. To me, it's just a small stronghold. It will be scattered if attacked." Trazyn said relaxedly.
"What would you like to drink, sir?" the Titanium waiter asked.
"The second best... forget it, give me a cup like his." Lin Heng pointed at Taraxin and said.
"Okay." The waiter said and left.
Lin Heng sat down, looking at the mirrors of the surrounding buildings, wondering what those Titanium people wanted to do.
“It seems that they want to show an environment where humans and the Titans can coexist in harmony, so that I can subconsciously make friends with them.
However, a group of guys who don't even have psychic powers will probably not have any connection with the subspace, so why do they want to make friends with me?
You haven't put the shackles on me yet, aren't you afraid that I might run away?"
"Haha." Taraxin stood up with a smile, stretched and said:
“I guess all the leaders on this planet are watching you and me discuss their plans.
It doesn't matter, let them discuss it, find someone you know and you'll know the situation, let's go."
"I haven't had my drink yet."
"Do you have money to drink?"
"Fuck, that's right."
Lin Heng had no choice but to follow the other party and leave.
When the Titanium waiter came out with the teacups, he couldn't help but curse at the two shameless humans.
And in a council somewhere, the Tau leaders who were observing the two men couldn't help but wonder if the other party had any sense of shame.
