Chapter 5: Heroes

After staring at each other quietly for a full minute, the major who was on the verge of breaking down and couldn't support it a few times, but then she miraculously regained her strength, which made me sigh, this guy can really hold on.

It's hard for two tough people to work together, and while I can easily handle her, I can't handle the boat under my feet. Apparently she understands this fact and is confident in her own strengths, or rather in my rationality. As a result, in the end, my sanity prevailed over my face, and I decided to compromise a little, and she got the victory she wanted in the battle of wills.

My gaze softened, and I asked in a deep voice: "I am an Imperial first-class battle warlock, my strength is equivalent to half a regiment, half a Kadian regiment, I have participated in twenty-seven wars in fifteen years, more than ten times I have faced tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of enemies, and the enemies I have killed with my own hands are enough to fill your ship." As a psyker, I recorded the wails of each of their dying souls. Now, girl, if you're trying to dominate me, come up with a convincing reason. ”

The change in the Major's face satisfied my vanity a little, and not everyone could keep their composure when they heard of my record. Even if she was from a military family and put on a military uniform in her teens, how many battles could she participate in with her twenties? As far as I know, there don't seem to be many fighters in the Imperial Navy, and unlike the Defenders, who are shot if they don't fight, in order to preserve the precious Imperial warships, each ship of the Navy has the right to retreat when the war is unfavorable - how many more characters can be born under this kind of military regulation that obviously creates a lot of cowards?

After a moment's hesitation, the major flickered, "My full name is Sylvia Montana Rosa Grimen, and I am the only son of the naval family Grimen, and my grandfather is ......."

I resisted the urge to smack her face and held the gun directly at her head, "You're giving me a reason to shoot you!" ”

Perhaps because he was half drunk, in the face of my anger and the threat of the gun, the major not only did not show any timidity, but held his head high, and his speech became clever, "I served as the captain of the aviation and the light cruiser of the third patrol fleet in the Baduka Star Sector of the Hazy Star Domain, the light cruiser Grebred, and during my tenure as the captain of the air, I flew two planes and sank one destroyer and two frigates single-handedly, not counting small aircraft, and not counting the results of cooperation. As a gunner, he went into battle once, hit one heavy patrol, two light patrols, and severely damaged one battle patrol, and the destroyer and below were not counted. ”

…… Well...... Not lying......

At first glance, the numbers of these kittens are not at all on the same level as my tens of thousands of records, but if you compare the types of targets behind the numbers, they are battleships, real battleships, each with a block of hundreds or even thousands of meters, and the most inconspicuous secondary guns have the firepower to defy any artillery regiment. And what is my record? A large number of light infantry, a small number of so-called elite heavy infantry, can destroy a few tanks or pillboxes, even if it is a special feat that can be highlighted in the merit book, the tens of thousands of numbers add up, maybe no one else has the weight of a destroyer.

I found that I had really made a very stupid request, that I was trying to compare myself with the navy, and that even if I made a mistake and was relegated to a transport ship, I was a skinny camel, much more than my pony.

At this time, look at it again, the original ordinary appearance of the major actually became radiant, the brilliant achievements made her a halo, under the dazzling light, the straight and close-fitting naval officer uniform highlighted the tall and well-proportioned figure, the upright captain's hat revealed a short pale blonde hair, the contour of the face was hard and clear like a knife, and the red on the face was no longer drunk and decadent, but became a symbol of blood bravery. How long has it been since I've seen such a glamorous woman? The Kadian regiment I belong to is a pure clan of gentlemen, and dangerous elements like the battle nuns can also be as far away as they can when choosing neighbors, and it seems that the last time I met a similar woman was three years ago in a cold world, where I met a mixed group .........of men and women.

The dominant aesthetic of the empire is always tied to loyalty, courage, strength, wisdom, and glory.

Think about it, though...... Heavy cruisers and battle cruisers, the record of this class can no longer be described in the simple word powerful, right? Even if this is the victory of the entire fleet and cannot be attributed to Sylvia alone, this record is enough to make the whole fleet rise several levels in a row, why did she end up so miserably?

Think again......

I slowly put the pistol away and reached out to the table next to her, where the bottle of red wine floated and flew into my hand. I held her up, "To your father, he was a great imperial hero. ”

The Major's face, which had always been deliberately cold, finally changed, "How do you know...... How dare you peek into my heart? ”

"It's not mind-reading. You've sued me enough. I smiled confidently and inscrutablely, "The patrol fleet, a patrol fleet that can only use light cruisers as flagships, at best, has a few destroyers and frigates, and dares to challenge the main fleet with at least one battle cruiser and one heavy cruiser, maybe it can have some advantages with ambushes and surprise attacks in the early days, but after the initial chaos, the final winner of the battle still belongs to the stronger side after all, right?" Moreover, your expressions before and after have already told me the end. The fleet you used to be in, there are not many people who survived and enjoyed that glory, right? ”

"And how do you know it has something to do with my father?"

"Because of the name of the battleship, naturally. Grebred, Great Blade, huh? Isn't that a battleship named after your family name? If I had a child, I would definitely take him with me. Miss Grimmen, I am a hunter from the savage world of Sogan, and in my hometown, if we can't find the clues of our prey and judge the movement from it, people can easily starve to death, and there, we will also challenge the beasts ten times stronger than us for a few more days of food for the tribe. Your father, for whatever purpose, he did the same thing, and he earned my respect. But that's your father's record, not yours. It will only after you've taken care of the problem at hand that I'll admit that you're worthy of your last nameβ€”or maybe you can even change your last name for yourself, Greviman. ”

Sylvia was of a firm mind, and did not fall in love with the memories of a tragic past, nor did she react to my jokes. She breathed a sigh of relief, "So, you agreed to listen to me?" ”

I was noncommittal, "At least listen to your plans for the next step." ”

"Okay, let's go out together, go to the cargo compartment and find the bomb, and take it to the core furnace......" She looked very excited as she succeeded in her purpose.

I was so shocked that I almost threw the bottle out of my hand, "Wait, let's talk about what your tactical purpose is." ”

"Destroy this ship lest it fall into the hands of traitors." "Don't worry, although this ship looks big, the slightest glitch in the furnace is enough to cause a big explosion that destroys a qiΔ“, so we only need to take a few bombs......"

It's not about how many bombs to worry about, right? Didn't I come to you to solve it more satisfactorily? If the end of the world is the goal, I still need to talk so much nonsense with you?! With a wave of my hand, I could have destroyed this ship.

I just listened to her chatter about the respect for her that I had built up for a long time, and at this time I had been bombarded by her words. I resisted the urge to rush over and beat her, and said patiently, "As a naval officer, don't you want to protect this important property for the Empire?" ”

"Is there such a satisfactory solution? Even if we kill all the traitors, only the two of us will not be able to drive this ship, and there are enemy ships stored outside, and if they find us, they will come and take us. I no longer have the strength to deal with the enemy outside, but at least I can't let the wealth of the empire fall into the hands of traitors. She said firmly.

I was wrong, perhaps she was not lacking in loyalty, courage and glory, but wisdom was something she had clearly inherited from her father at all.

The enemy outside, the rebellion inside, a mess. But I'm much calmer than she is, after all, I've seen more of the world. I raised the bottle and took a sip, and said in a deep voice: "You see, I have served for a long time longer than you, and I have managed more people, and the military rank is even higher than you, even if you have the authority of the captain, at least you have to consider me, the elder, right?" Come, first of all, explain to me what happened before and what is the current situation. ”

It doesn't matter if you lack wisdom, I have more, so I'll give you a little bit.
