Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 42 02.0042: ‘Reliable Seniors’

The bailiff looked at the line of golden characters on the cover and felt as if someone had grabbed him by the throat. After opening the document, his eyes nearly bulged out.

"Hey, captain...this kid..." His legs were trembling, his tongue was knotted, his voice was like a mosquito, and he couldn't speak clearly.

"Damn you!! If you dare to make me look embarrassed in front of so many people, I will kill you now!"

The captain of the Hive City Judicial Police, who was injured and had lost face, could not care less about listening to his subordinates.

He bared his teeth and his mouth was covered in blood. He staggered away from the others' hands and put his hand on the holster of his gun.

Horatio took a step forward. With the passive attribute enhancement of the prosthetic ability, his reaction was much faster than that of a normal person.

Bang!

Perhaps because this is a high-risk area, the Chaodu bailiff unprofessionally unlocked the safety device in advance. When he first took it out, his finger hit the trigger, causing it to fire.

Fortunately, the bullet hit the wall of the store and no one was hurt.

Horatio removed his hand and snatched the gun.

Tat-tat-tat-the sound of heavy combat boots running came from nearby, and the onlookers quickly moved out of the way and saluted respectfully.

"What's going on! Why did you shoot suddenly?!" A strong female voice shouted from under the helmet.

Everyone looked at the visitor, including Horatio.

"It's over. This kid is in bad luck. He has a bailiff's gun in his hand. He must be attacking the police now."

"Tsk, tsk, it was obviously stolen. It's so miserable. I can only blame him for being unlucky. Hey, poor young man."

The noisy hive city bailiffs stopped talking at this time, leaving only the captain with a bleeding nose to perform crying for his father and mother.

"Assault on the police! This is an attack on the police!"

Horatio looked up at the incoming man, put the gun on the ground knowingly, put his foot on it, and stood still without making any unnecessary movements.

The familiar carapace and the iconic Tadashi helmet immediately let him know who it was.

Different from ordinary loyal Tsuji stormtroopers, the nameplate on the left side of these men's breastplates reads "Chashiji Marine Corps" and is inlaid with the rudder emblem of the Imperial Navy.

The armor is also different from the common sky blue of stormtroopers. It is a darker void blue that can be perfectly hidden in the darkness.

Horatio, who had just come out of the Navy's loyal heir, could naturally recognize the identities of these people.

The Zhongsi students in the military major belong to the "Zhongsi Youth Army".

The administrative establishment belonging to the Storm Troopers' troops is called the 'Youth Storm Regiment'.

Those who belong to the Imperial Navy are the ‘Tadatsuji Marine Corps’ in front of me, my future alumni and classmates.

This is why Horatio put down his gun knowingly.

Since the Horus Heresy, the mortal armed forces of the Imperium have been dominated by the Great Second Imperium *Bang! *, ah no, the great Lord of the Ultramarines, Robert Guilliman, used a piece of code to dismantle the Imperial Guard (the Astra Militarum) and the Imperial Navy just like he dismantled the Legion Astartes.

In principle, the armed forces of the Navy cannot use regiment-level organizations, so there is a vague organization like the Marine Corps.

And usually the number of people in this 'team' in private is not necessarily smaller than a group.

After all, 'Team of Hundreds', 'Team of Thousands', and 'Team of Ten Thousands' are all teams, even if in principle the number of armed personnel on the ship must be reported, and it shall not exceed the '20% of the total number of crew members' stipulated in the code. .

But as long as the captain has money, he can raise as many private soldiers as he wants, and if the bureaucrats turn a blind eye to each other, the empire can't control it.

"What's going on? Who fired the shot!" The leading lady, Guan Jianjian, walked over and looked at both parties and asked.

[Naval sergeant? A boss with 5,000 learning points. ] Horatio looked at the rank insignia on the opponent's shoulder armor.

The Hive City bailiffs pointed at Horatio in unison and added in a inflammatory tone: "He attacked the police while we were enforcing the law."

"Obviously this guy didn't lock the insurance, I just got back my lost property." Horatio said calmly.

The female sergeant glanced at both sides. To Horatio's surprise, she did not hit him with the shock stick, but continued to ask: "You bailiffs will tell you the details of the case first."

"No, when will the navy also come to enforce the law?" the deputy captain of the hive city bailiff said angrily.

"We have special intervention rights! According to the authorization, the Marine Corps has the right to stabilize regional security and prevent shootings from escalating the situation!"

The lady officer asked in a stern tone that did not allow for discussion or refutation:

"Since the shot was fired, tell me the whole process! Police officer!"

The deputy captain wiped his sweat and hesitated: "We caught a thief, and then this guy jumped out and claimed that the stolen goods were his without any evidence, and even attacked the police. Our captain beat him like this ”

The lady officer looked at Horatio. The round eyes of Tadashi's helmet glowed with a terrible red light. It could be seen that her finger was already on the trigger.

"What do you want to say in defense? Suspected of assaulting the police."

The lady officer still gave Horatio a chance to defend himself.

Before Horatio could speak, a girl's voice came from beside him.

"You lied!"

The man’s daughter stood up bravely, pointed at the Chaodu bailiff and said:

"This gentleman just spent a thousand-yuan bill with me. When I gave him change, his money was stolen. This bill can prove it. This gentleman brought out all these thousand-yuan bills. !”

The girl took out of her arms the brand-new thousand-dollar bill Horatio had paid her.

"Fuck, who goes out with a thousand-dollar bill?"

"Are you from the Upper Nest?"

"Stupid, even Upper Nest people are not so pretentious, a hundred bills are all a thousand-dollar bill! This is something that only the nobles at the top of the tower can do!"

"No wonder he dared to hit the Hive City Bailiff."

The onlookers were shocked and talked about it, guessing the identity of the black-haired young man.

"And for some reason, these bills are all in consecutive numbers." Horatio added:

"As long as you compare them, the numbers are completely connected."

"Where is the stolen money?" The female officer asked the Hive City Bailiff.

Her eyes looked at the Hive City Bailiff who was trembling with a bunch of bills in his hand.

"Give it to me."

The trembling bailiff stood there hesitant, and never wanted to hand over the stolen money.

"Tsk." The female officer walked up impatiently and took all the bills from his hand.

[Huh? ] Her fingers pinched something hard.

"Check it." She handed the banknote to the marine corporal beside her, and took the thing herself.

Everyone present was nervous, only Horatio looked calm.

"Thank you." He smiled and thanked the girl, raised his hand and took out a 100 Gothic banknote from the change, and said:

"The wine is delicious, the rest is a tip, I wish you good luck in your studies."

The girl looked at the young man and smiled warmly and gently, and couldn't understand it at all.

"Aren't you afraid, sir?" The girl asked with blinking eyes.

"No, I didn't do anything wrong." Horatio responded with a smile.

[Cadet Certificate...] The female sergeant felt a little incredible.

She immediately opened the certificate.

[Horatio Cochrane, St. Abridal College of Loyalty, 3810th student of the Sergeant Training School, rank is, reserve sergeant with 0 credits? ? ? ]

The female sergeant had a strange expression, repeatedly comparing the young man in front of him with the corresponding photo on the certificate, and it was indeed him.

"Team leader, the bills match." A corporal handed the money to the female sergeant, who nodded and took it.

"It seems that the clues have been completely sorted out."

Tsk——

The female sergeant took off the Zhongsi helmet, revealing a soft and flowing dark blue short hair that reached her neck.

It was a fair and rosy pretty face. The sharp purple eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, like a gorgeous gem, both beautiful and deep. The face was firm and serious, like the pure lake covered with ice, without a ripple.

Horatio knew the meaning behind the purple amber eyes - that was the unique beauty of the residents of Cadia, the fortress world guarding the Eye of Terror.

The residents living in Cadia could see a corner of the warp as long as they raised their heads, and this gap was named "Eye of Terror" by the Empire.

And the invisible power of the warp is powerful.

Children born to parents who have lived in Cadia for a long time will have a pair of beautiful purple eyes, which is a benign mutation unique to Cadia.

"Hello, classmate. I am Louise Tavira, a naval sergeant, ship assault department, and the 3810th student of the sergeant training school." The female sergeant saluted Horatio with an eagle salute.

[Ship assault department, soldiers trained to become officers of armed boarding teams, real warriors. ]

"Hello, senior, I am Horatio Cochrane, a reserve sergeant from the fleet maritime department."

Horatio saluted solemnly with an eagle salute.

The female sergeant nodded to the two corporals, and they took off their helmets one after another.

"I didn't expect to see a top student from the command department here."

A tall and strong young man with purple-blue hair saluted first and said, "Ship Engineering Department, Navy corporal, Leidos."

[Captain of ship maintenance and damage management. ]

Another young man with a smile on his face, who was the shortest among all but about 170cm tall, followed closely and saluted: "Corporal Fideo, Armament and Gunnery Department!"

[Although he is short, he is responsible for launching a super torpedo the size of a nest city or a shell with a cross-section of several hundred square meters at the enemy. ]
