When we appeared in front of the door of an underground warehouse, the temporary station of the Wanderer Company, the soldier who was on guard was taken aback. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Oh my God, Emperor Protection, Lorf, you madman, where did you find these people! Ah, I'm sorry, Lord Edward, I don't mean you. ”

I looked at the shouting soldier with interest: "No matter how excited you are, soldier, you'd better control your volume, after all, we're still in enemy-occupied territory, aren't we, and prudence is a virtue." ”

The soldier nervously covered his mouth while looking around, then exhaled.

Lorf asked, "What about the company commander?" He should be down there now. ”

"Oh, that's right." Then the soldier lay down in front of the door and shouted to the bottom: "Company commander, someone is coming, it's a friendly army!" ”

I looked at the narrow hole, then turned to look at Lorf: "Now put your supplies on us"

"Lord Reverend?" He asked, puzzled.

"You don't want your company commander to know that you ran away." I blinked and looked at the big and small cans on the three of them.

Jackson and Richard stepped forward to take the supplies, and I picked up four boxes of canned food and carried them on my body.

Lorf looked at me gratefully, and I nodded to him. This innocuous minor indiscipline sometimes occurs in the army, and officers and commissars tend to punish soldiers harshly out of duty, and as a chaplain, as long as the soldiers' intentions are good, I will always do them a small favor.

After all, I am the one who cares over their spirits, and if I do, they will usually be more willing to listen to my sermons.

At this moment, a young, but anxious and tired figure came out of the doorway.

I stepped forward and gave him an Aquila salute as he looked at him in amazement.

"Hello, Company Commander Ryan, I'm Edward, the chaplain of the Fifth Regiment, these two are my bodyguard, Private Jackson and Private Richard, these two are civilians we just encountered, and it's a pleasure to meet other Divine Emperor His Majesty's troops."

Ryan looked at the priest in front of him and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Ryan has accumulated too much pressure along the way, for him, the original petty non-commissioned officer, he is now responsible for nearly a hundred people, and one of the officers he recently met is bent on leading everyone to their deaths, so that Ryan has to shoot him himself.

And the person who appeared now, Ryan felt in his heart, was really good.

Reverend Edward's fame was not great among senior commanders, but the few companies he had stayed in were always able to exert a high level of combat effectiveness because of the priest's encouragement or various reasons. In addition, although it is not clear why, the low death rate of his company and the speed of the return of soldiers after the war are second to none.

Of course, the most important thing is that Ryan unconsciously looked at the power sword hanging from the priest's waist, this priest did not need a guard in the strict sense. In his own right, he is a formidable warrior.

As the acting company commander of the Wanderer Company, it is undoubtedly a great comfort to have such a person on board.

"Your Excellency, on behalf of the entire company of wanderers, I welcome you, the Emperor is finally protecting us."

"Thank you for your welcome, please settle these people behind me first, and then I have something to talk to you about alone."

Ryan looked at me grimacingly, as if he was still digesting what I had just said.

"Are you sure? Those remnants of heresy. ”

"No matter how much you don't want to believe it, they did come here."

"Well, Lord Reverend, with all due respect, the rumors about them ......"

"They keep a certain amount of dark technology? It's true. As for the rest, they are no different from the Chaos Heresy. They lured the emperor's people to join their cause, but used them as slaves. For the sake of their curiosity, they can sacrifice the entire world just to complete their dark experiments; They exterminate humanity, defile the soul and the emperor, and even mingle with aliens. They are full of lies and are always insatiable.

On top of that, they were few in number, and the emperor's army was a thousand times larger than such heretics. Don't be deceived by those shameful lies, Your Excellency, which, like the lies of Chaos, are blasphemy against humanity. I tell you this to give you confidence that they will be destroyed and that victory will belong to the Empire. ”

I stared at him earnestly to see a hint of shake on his face.

"Yes, I am clear, Your Excellency, that the Empire will be victorious." To be sure, Company Commander Ryan quickly adjusted his mentality and responded seriously.

I nodded in satisfaction: "But on the other hand, the renegade of the remnants of the aliens is now mixed with the titanium aliens, which has posed a huge threat, coupled with the constant arrival of the greenskins...... We don't have enough manpower. You'd better plan ahead, Your Excellency Company Commander.

But as far as I know, you definitely have what it takes to be a good commander, and the Emperor will not give a mission to someone who does not meet his expectations, especially in such circumstances.

For now, I'm going to meet my next comrades, and I hope their faith remains strong. ”

Then I stood up and walked to the entrance to the warehouse.

"Finally, I would like to give you a suggestion, Your Excellency Company Commander, you are in charge of the soldiers' battles, and I will protect their souls."

"Thank you very much."

"The duty is only death. We are each other, Your Excellency. ”

Edward Handke

Imperial Anglican Datanya 4th Division Priest

Bio: Most people have the impression that Anglican priests are either fat-brained vampires or crazy martyrs.

However, those who served in the regiments of the Imperial Guard were more pious and upright Guardians of the Faith like Edward.

Coming from a religious world, Edward grew up listening to the stories of saints and the teachings of emperors. The belief in the emperor was so deeply ingrained in his soul that no one could shake his faith.

Although his grades were so good and his faith was so strong, the struggle within the Anglican made the young priest more and more disgusted with the struggle within the Holy See.

In the end, he decided to join the Imperial Guard to defend his faith in the emperor in another way.

Edward was a strong defender, and whether he was facing an Xenomorph or a Chaos heretic, Edward was always able to inspire his warriors. And his austere style, superb swordsmanship and in-depth sermons honed in the Crusader monasteries always won the affection and respect of the soldiers.

Edward was a man of integrity, and his name was well known within the Datannian divisions. However, he was always on the front line, and some believe that this is an example of the pastor's noble character.

However, deep down, Edward was often worried, although his faith in the emperor had been tested and unshakable, but why did so many people turn away from the glory of the emperor? This question was always a matter of deep thought for Edward.

Currently, Edward was the only one who broke out of the orc encirclement along with two of his escorts when he was attacked during his service on Tantalus V.

The time had come for his faith to be tempered, and Edward believed that this was the new test that the emperor had given him.
