The third battle song of the angels, chapter 38, the Artemis

"Artemis, that's the name of the ship." Grandpa Ruben looked deeply at the majestic battleship and said with emotion.

Hearing this name, my face suddenly turned very strange.

Grandpa Reuben happened to turn around, saw my expression, and asked suspiciously, "What, isn't this name good?" ”

"Well, no, no, it's good...... Artemis, the goddess of the moon and the hunt, is a very romantic name. I said incorrectly.

It's a good name, but it reminds me of a guy with a very cheap mouth, nicknamed "The Eagle of Endymion" - Mu, and it's not a good thing to associate with him.

"By the way, Grandpa Reuben, is this a new warship? How do I feel like it's been some years. "I walked up to the Artemis, took a closer look, and found that although the battleship was new from the armor to the welds, some imperceptible places faintly exuded a sense of the vicissitudes of time.

"Of course it's not new, this battleship was shipped twenty years ago." Grandpa Reuben said with a hint of nostalgia.

Grandpa Ruben turned around, looked at my somewhat worried face, and smiled: "What's the matter, are you worried about its combat effectiveness?" You can rest assured, although the Artemis can already be your predecessor in terms of age, but every year we spend a huge amount of maintenance money to update its equipment, and now it is at the forefront in all aspects, whether it is weapons, power, or operating system...... And, for you, the Artemis has a special meaning. ”

"Do you mean...... What is it? "Thinking of the factory date of this "antique", I guessed a possibility for the new species.

"That's right, it's your father's ship, Baloka von Fenderade, and your father has fought more than forty battles, large and small, ninety-nine percent on this ship. Only on the last occasion, because Artemis had been damaged in a previous battle, he had to switch to another ship to serve as the flagship, but that time, he never returned. Grandpa Reuben said as he stepped forward and stroked the Artemis' armor as if he were caressing the most precious antique.

Suddenly, the old man, who was still immersed in memories from the previous moment, turned around with a swift movement that was not befitting his age, and looked at me as if his eyes were about to burn: "You know what? Leonard, I originally left this battleship just to commemorate it, and over the years I have withstood a lot of pressure, and the astronomical amount of maintenance costs on this only battleship left in Baroka is just to leave the only memory left in my heart. But your presence today tells me that neither Barocca's spirit in the sky nor the Artemis is willing to sink to this end, and that it will one day radiate its dazzling brilliance on the battlefield again. Whether it is Baroka, who was called the iron wall of PLANT twenty years ago, or you who are known as the blood-stained angel today, you are worthy of inheriting the great surname of Findlad. ”

"Now, Leonard, I will officially hand over this warship left by your father to you, and I hope you will live up to the statement of the brave Baroka, and use it to create a world of your own." With that, the old man, who had always maintained a strong and determined image in front of me, put his hands on my shoulders with trembling hands, and a few old tears full of vicissitudes slid down his wrinkled face.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Reuben, I won't put this Artemis to shame." Faced with such a scene, I couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of pride in my heart, and replied very seriously.

Baroka von Finderad, although I have never met this man with whom I am related by blood, at this moment I can clearly feel his blood flowing quietly in my veins. Decades after his death, his experience and deeds still exist in the world, and once he mentions it, he can't help but feel a rush of blood to his heart. Having such a father is really not a grievance.

Grandpa Ruben and I were standing thoughtfully in front of the huge Artemis, and we didn't say a word for a long time, when suddenly a rough voice shouted from afar: "What do you say, someone is going to take away Lao Tzu's treasure, do you have to say it again to me...... Get out of the way, useless thing, I want to see if that bastard is so bold, I don't know that Artemis is the baby that I Brigni Ogsin has worked so hard to take care of for twenty years? I will never let anyone on its bridge except General Baloca. ”

I looked up, and saw a burly soldier, with a full beard and a crooked military uniform, walking majestically and proudly, with a pair of eyes like brass bells looking around fiercely, and the people he saw were so frightened that they jumped away like rabbits.

"It's been a long time, Britney, it seems that you really haven't made any progress over the years, and your personality is still as irritable as it was twenty years ago." Grandpa Reuben walked out from behind me with a smile and said lightly.

"Mr. Reuben?" The bearded officer shouted in surprise, and the originally menacing expression on his face immediately softened, and he was convinced with a flattering smile, how funny and funny it was. If you've ever seen a big man flattering his owner's kitten, you know how strange this scene is.

"Oh, Mr. Reuben, why don't you say it in advance if you want to come, you see that I am a mess here, and there is nothing to entertain you, why don't you go home first, and invite you to come over another day when I am ready?"

When the bearded officer said this, the smile that I had been holding back for a long time finally burst out, and although I tried to suppress it politely, it was enough for the bearded officer who was close at hand to hear it.

"Who is it? Who's laughing? Which thing that doesn't know whether to live or die stands up for Lao Tzu. Although the bearded man seemed to grovel to Grandpa Reuben, his nature remained unchanged, and the roar he let out made the people in the maintenance room can't help but look this way.
