Chapter 176: Before the Funeral

After another long silence, Avtron said, "It's just the worst option. "Xiao# said that reading this book is the fastest update without ads" Look at those transport ships coming from afar, they can't parachute such a large amount of cargo to the ground, turn it underground and then put it into the door of space, there must be some other way to get to the foundry city. They are transport ships, and they are even more unaccustomed to the subspace environment than our warships, and it is impossible to complete the handover of cargo in subspace. ”

"Either the casting city runs to the real space, and then the movement must be not small. Either there is a special ship that is responsible for handing over the goods...... In that case, we will inevitably have to go to subspace to fight once. Awei said.

"I mentioned that there is an observatory here, and that this galaxy often has subspace storms. It's possible that the Foundry City will take this opportunity to make an appearance in the real space. Eddie said.

Flheim continued: "Even if it were to be transferred by other ships, at least it would be much faster than going through the mines." The transport we just captured was a good route, and we could hide in that container and blend in. ”

Avtron: "Then ...... next"

Velheim removed the solemn look on his face and showed the usual heroic smile of the wolf, "Next, of course, as a victor, a grand banquet." You can talk about it later when you attack Foundry City, after all, not all the people present are decision-makers, are they? ”

Well, both Velheim and Avtron are think tank directors, and like me, they are staff officers and advisers, and it is okay to lead a small force into battle in battle, but they have no decision-making power in strategic matters. Even if a battle plan is discussed now, it may not be possible to turn back within their warband. Besides, another very important comrade-in-arms in the battlefield battle, the Storm Guardians, is not represented here.

As for myself, it's just a make-up number, that is, I need to use a little bit of my strength when casting spells, and there is no room for me to intervene in things like making plans.

Then, the meeting can be adjourned. I had planned to follow Velheim to the banquet, but remembering that there was a funeral to attend, I followed the two inquisitors.

All the troops involved in the war suffered more or less casualties, but it was the custom of the Space Marines to save the bodies of their comrades and return to their hometowns for funerals whenever they could, and only mortals were often buried in the places where they died.

The preparation before the funeral is a very delicate and lengthy task. Even after all the time we had just met, the funeral was still not fully prepared. After all, although the battleship does not look very large, the interior space is so intricate that even a veteran crew member can get lost, and it is very difficult to collect the bodies of all the dead. Some of the dead did not even have their bodies left.

Before the funeral, there was a little bit of a conflict. Each unit comes from a different world, and there are differences in funeral customs. Eddie's Battle Nuns and Awei's Katakhamdu demand that their comrades be cremated inside the ship and then brought back to their home world, but the Navy insist that the ashes be cremated outside the ship and scattered into space. Some of the junior officers had a dispute over this, and seeing that we were coming, they asked the two inquisitors to arbitrate the matter.

Intellectually, of course, I respect the habits of the Navy. The ship was a confined space, and burning corpses inside produced a lot of toxic fumes, and the ship had just been captured, and the crew was not enough, and many of the internal equipment - such as the air purification system and circulation system - were not functioning properly, and after the cremation was held in this case, a large area had to come in with breathing masks. In this regard, the habits of the Navy are the most reasonable. But this kind of thing cannot only consider reason, people die greatly, and it is the great responsibility of every soldier to let the deceased rest in peace, and it is necessary to respect the habits of the hometown in this kind of matter. If there are my men here, I will have to get into trouble with the navy.

But Eddie and Awei routinely fail to reach a consensus. Emphasizing obedience, Awei is ready to forcibly order her GIs to obey the Navy's advice - but she has no right to order Eddie's nuns, who agree with her own habits and intend to use her psychic abilities to forcibly reverse the attitude of the naval officers.

It seemed that Eddie's idea was relatively simple to carry out, but before he could put it into practice, something happened - Sylvia arrived.

Now that the leader of the navy was replaced by Sylvia, Eddie scratched his head a little. Sylvia's will is beyond the ordinary, she recently broke free from the control of Vash Tod, obviously not so easy to control, and Sylvia is not only representing the navy now, she wears the wolfskin cloak given to her by the wolf, followed by a group of Fenris who are also covered in fur, and even has two wild wolves by her side. At this point, she was presiding over the funeral of her Navy soldiers and Fenris mortal warriors as a Fenris.

To Add's embarrassment, Sylvia also persuaded the Fenris to be buried according to naval custom, which was much more difficult than convincing the Battle Nun and Katachan. Like most people, the Fenris are particular about returning to their homeland, and their stubbornness and adherence to traditional habits can be seen in the wild wolf. I can't help but hope that Sylvia will be able to convince the Battle Nun and Katachan by the way.

Sylvia's presence put some pressure on the captain officer of Katachan as well. In terms of rank, if I had not come forward with Lieutenant Colonel Harvey, Sylvia would have been the highest-ranking one present. In terms of power, Sylvia had both naval crews and Fenris behind her, and even the two Inquisitors were invisibly overpowered. What's more, the Battle Nun and Katachan only came over with a small team of a total of a few dozen people, and the victims could be counted on one hand, while Sylvia's crew and Fenris were the main force of the battle, and the two combined were as high as five or six hundred, and more than fifty people died.

After a brief briefing with her men, Sylvia walked to the Katachans and the Battle Nuns, confronting the recognized thorns of the Imperial Guard, as well as the women who were more dangerous to the Guards than heretics and aliens. This woman from the world of ice and snow was tall and burly, and the warriors from the hot Katachang were generally a head shorter than her. Her wolfskin cloak made her shoulders look broad, and she didn't even show any thinness compared to the battle nun in power armor. Even the Space Wolves are openly professing their support for her, and her authority is almost unmatched among the mortals on this ship. Under the pressure of her momentum, whether it was Katachan, a group of warriors who claimed to be the most proficient in white-knuckle warfare in the defense army, or the nuns who claimed to be in the name of the emperor no matter what they did, they all showed a certain amount of retreat.

"I know what you're asking for, and I think it's reasonable." As soon as Sylvia spoke, all the momentum she had accumulated during her previous appearance became useless.

"The wishes of all the deceased will be fulfilled and the customs of all the deceased will be respected. We will vacate the cabin for you alone, and allocate fuel and air reserves for you to bid farewell to your brothers and sisters in your own way. But ......"

She paused for a moment, condescendingly observed the people opposite her who were dealing with her, and then said solemnly: "I am not here to order you as an officer, but here we are all warriors who guard every corner of the firmament of the Empire. I wonder if you choose a funeral for yourself, do you want to be able to return to your homeland and be turned to earth forever, or will you be like us, burning your body and turning into stars, even if only for a moment? ”

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The transitional plot is the most difficult to write, and this chapter has been held back for a long time, and the text is made up

The best thing to write is to sell cuteness and rot and dump the festival.,The first few chapters are very easy to write.,Can't stop at all.,

The second is the battle, and the battle is an easy thing to make up the number of words to drag the plot. Every time you get to Kavin, you should find a reason to pull a few people out and fight,

It's more frustrating to be the transition scene between the plots.,I'm not very good at simple narrative.,I'm only good at description.,Maybe it's the relationship between perspectives.,Maybe it's the style of writing.,But it's almost fixed.,It's hard to change.,

The most difficult thing is to depict solemn occasions, and I am thinking about whether to skip the funeral scene. I'd love to write about the funeral of a monk company commander or the funeral of Stone in the dragon lance, but my writing can't play with this atmosphere at all.
