The Skadis were insane, and some members of the Imperial Guard, such as the foreign garrisons, who knew what was going on, said so, and when Alan Bair made his bad behavior public, most of the people in Skady knew that war was coming and that they were spitting on those who had left the Emperor's honor behind for the sake of selling their souls for profit.

But in such a tense moment, what came into their hands was not a declaration of war, tactical planning, or a mobilization need, but an invitation, an invitation for the heroes of Skadi.

It was too bad to say that it was a cover-up, or that the tactics were too bad for this matter, and the Skadians only wanted to bless this strange couple from the bottom of their hearts, and did not hesitate or hesitate, even if the war was imminent and fateful, those people, like the nomads who once lived by force on Terra, did not fear war and even made it a part of their lives.

That special feeling that even the Destruction Eagle can't fully understand, but at such an important moment of mobilization to organize a wedding?

Whether it was doubts, blessings, trusts, approvals, people who were expelled from those feelings and many interests came to that unique auditorium, which belonged exclusively to the Imperial Guard, and which was the most suitable place for the lovers.

Amid piles of sandbags, bunkers, barbed wire, and training equipment, and even more so under the watchful eye of the Imperial engines, rows of Riemannus tanks, Hydra anti-aircraft tanks, and many terrifying metal monsters, the humble camp was dressed in all sorts of fake plastic bouquets or hung with fancy wind chimes from bullet casings.

This was not the first wedding of Skadi after the liberation, but the first wedding of the 4th Infantry Regiment of Skadi, representing a new bouquet of new life and hope blooming in this place of death, and it is the only one today that many Katakáns surround this place, and the originally fortified camp is once again investigated.

Every guest must be strictly checked, not only the Lord of Inkadi, but also the Skadi infantry, the soldiers of Phlaxia, who will not allow anyone to do anything on their family's most important day!

Since Guterra, this union representing humanity has been grandiose, although under the huge size of the empire with a population of tens of billions and the constant threat of war from the enemy, the feelings of the people of the empire for weddings have become more and more thin.

However, this does not mean that weddings are not important to human civilization, on the contrary, if they can be celebrated, the event may be more grand and grand than many times before.

Soon, the guests gathered, the seats were full, under the gaze of the emperor, the light was sprinkled from the stained glass, the elaborate ceremonial table was carved with a head representing purity, people gathered here, each guest without exception was dressed in military uniform, they were tall and high-spirited, if there were exceptions, there was probably only a girl named Arya and the old grandfather beside her.

They watched as the priests on the stage gradually stepped into the place, sweet cakes and delicacies waiting in the square outside the camp, and the Leterin Kid hurriedly changed into his military uniform and took his seat on the benches, his comrades around him were accustomed to his stench, and only frowned slightly.

Master Chief Katachan sat next to him, changing his previous appearance of being shirtless or wearing short sleeves, even if he was out of the cold Skadi, he would wear as light clothes as possible, but today, he should be a colonel according to the requirements of the Imperial rank, and he was in high spirits.

There was a lot of silence until the ceremonial officer shouted. "To the bride!"

Behind the ceremonial stage, she was slowly moving forward, a tall beauty who was supported forward by the bridesmaids, the mechanical godgirl, Scardi and the Father of Flacsy Technology, and now she faded from the anger of the battlefield, leaving behind a beautiful long hair, with the magnificent dark gold dress of the empire, capable but carved into the bone marrow, there is no doubt that she, this bride is so beautiful, who can get her favor?

"To the groom!" After a high-pitched voice, the second lieutenant stepped into the place in a beautiful and capable military uniform, supported by the Lord of Skadi, Elan Bair, the sound of military boots pounding on the steps, and on his chest hung the countless honors he had won from the life-and-death struggle.

The glittering badges were brighter in the silver glow of the glass at this moment, for this wedding was not only a union of two people, but also the second lieutenant had to take over the honor and future of Foraxia in the place of his lover, it was not a wedding in the traditional sense, but more complex and more austere.

The two looked at each other, the two who had experienced countless wars had never experienced such a scene, and their cheeks quickly turned red, and at the same time, the veteran priest of the state religion asked.

"Second Lieutenant Skadi, would you like to take over all the honor and command of the 113th Regiment in Foraxia, and not disgrace those histories?"

The bridegroom replied. "I do!"

"So, Miss Kelis Arcade, will you lay down your responsibilities and enjoy the rest of the grace, life and peace that the Emperor has bestowed upon you, and give it to your beloved?"

The bride replied. "I do!"

"Now, exchange tokens." The priest shouted, and the bride took off her dog tag and the dog tag of the first head of the 133rd Regiment of Foraxia, the two pieces of metal were amazingly heavy, not a specific weight, but a real burden.

The lieutenant lowered his head, and the young man was almost suffocated when the metal touched his neck, but he had already made the decision to marry this complicated woman, and he knelt down lightly on one knee and placed the ring finger of the girl on the ring finger of the girl representing the love gemstone ring (in the darkest age of mankind, diamonds have been recognized as useless, but the gem is still long and valuable).

Soon, the two hugged and kissed each other, and tens of thousands of soldiers, even outside the auditorium, broke out into violent applause.

The sound that represents the vitality of the whole castle vibrates, as if it will not disperse, like the beating of the heart, now people have thousands of thoughts, but they can be the same purpose today, at this moment, this is the charm of civilization.

The ceremonial officer spoke. "Ask our best man, Skadi's master, to say a word."

Alan Baier was thinking about this slightly strange wedding in his heart at the moment, because in this era men and women are really equal, and they are one of the thousands of people who sacrificed for the emperor, so it is no longer a "grant" from the man but an "exchange" for each other, but for this "undead of the old era", those things seem solemn and strange.

But he still blessed it from the bottom of his heart, and secondly, the speech had been performed on him so many times that he no longer needed any script, preparation, and timidity.

He stepped forward, this hall, the outer camp, tens of thousands of people were silent, there was no other voice, even the two most excited lovers looked at this legendary warrior.

"All the warriors who fought under the honor of the Emperor, we all know that today is a truly memorable day, and for me, every warrior is my family, and I have been through so much, victories, defeats, deaths, all those things are mixed together, and I value each of you very much."

"Although the Skady Infantry Regiment has been established for a long time, I still feel the same, and today, my child, I regard as a second lieutenant of a child, has stepped into the wedding hall, which is worth remembering, but I want to say directly that behind this wedding is a cruel, war-like undertone."

"So I wish this wedding but I don't want it to happen again, I hope that my whole family can stay away from war and death, and work on this for a long time,"

"I want the honor and light of the Emperor to always flicker over Skadi, I want people with feelings to gather here, I hope that war and death, heresy or alien will never interfere with our lives again, but this is almost impossible, I know that we can only shoot, attack, kill, one time at a time, and never change again until this galaxy is empty."

"But I'm not going to give up, guys, I wish the couple well, and I hope that no one will be threatened at the wedding in the future, and for this purpose we will once again take up arms and go to the enemy."

"There is no good or evil in war, we just need to survive, we need to be safe, and I will not be satisfied until our roar is known in the galaxy, and until Skadi becomes a place where people will no longer dare to offend!"

"So I can keep taking, fighting, fighting, waiting, until it succeeds, even if it takes hundreds, thousands of years, I want it to succeed, and one day, we can celebrate any important moment of life without enemies, until the stars go out and the universe dies!"

"Now, now, let's bless this wedding, bless the beginning of life, and look forward to the future." He gasped, angry, at this moment, and infected most of them, and they must admit that there was nothing more infuriating in the living crowd than a threat to their safety, and with the information provided by the Inquisitor before, the anger of the Skadian was completely ignited today.

The second lieutenant held Alan Bair's palm in his gown, and he reported earnestly to his commander. "I will be responsible for making this happen again, my sir, for the sake of my children, for the sake of my lovers, and for the sake of my brothers."

In a word, clapping, clapping for a long and frenzied roar, until the tiredness and the sound stopped, the priest began to sing the praises of the emperor's mantras, which had sheltered these two men in the darkness of 40,000 years of mankind still in harmony and peace, and the content was long, but no one did not listen quietly, until the light of the stars hung until noon, and the stained glass sprinkled its light.

People leave in order to go to the courtyard to enjoy food or rest, to celebrate and remember these few days, and to prepare for the opening of the war.

The wedding was as complex as its performance, it was both a new birth for Skadi and a danger to Skadi, a stark contrast that highlights the current tragic situation of the empire and makes people admit that Skadi is not yet safe.

The gap seemed to close the gates of heaven, but the people of Scady had experienced even worse days, they were optimistic, they drank outside, and even if the cold weather and bad conditions were making things worse, even if the food tasted a little worse because of the lower temperature, they would happily enjoy their days.

Whether it is a trench or a nest, those strong people have not changed, and they will not change after that, although cruel, of course, it is sad, but at the end of the 40th millennium of human civilization in this dark universe, no one can keep themselves out of those most tragic things.

If Skady hadn't stepped up, then the bad things would have fallen on the weaker Imperial world now, a few navigational blockades, a few oppressions, the poor would starve to death for no reason, the originally strict class issues and even more exaggerated, the resources would have been brought into the Gulf of Engili without limits, bringing unlimited glory and wealth to its masters...

During this time, the glimmer of hope that Skadi brought with him will also be extinguished by those mercenary demons, and even worse, that is, those people are in the same league as the Red Pirates, opening the way for them to go to the Sun Star Field, and go to the Holy Terra to defile the ancient stars of mankind!

Therefore, this time the whole star sector is angry, with the help of this wedding, the most wonderful moment of the lieutenant's life turned into a sad political show, Alan Baier went backstage, and cleaned his cheeks with ice water in frustration, he has become a man who will use his brother's life to gain benefits?

He has become a man who will use his brother's life to gain benefits!

He smiled bitterly, his eyes were moistened, and the water kept dripping, and he looked like he was crying, but suddenly he was tapped on the shoulder by the second lieutenant, and he immediately adjusted his state. "Isn't that our lucky one?"

The second lieutenant said. "Don't lie to me, you don't like this at all, you like small weddings, only friends, comrades-in-arms, and bring John and his family, at most."

"To be honest, I don't like it either, don't I, my lover too, but so what, at this sensitive time, we knew it early and talked to each other."

"My sir, we are your blades, as I said, we are willing to sacrifice everything for the future of mankind, especially in this wonderful place of Skady, just a wedding is nothing."

"It doesn't matter if you ask me to do something even more pathetic, without you, we have nothing now."

The second lieutenant sighed at the evaluation, Alan Baier just said. "You've held me up too high, I'm not a Celestine, I'm not Kane, I'm not a strongman from the Emperor's gift, my life is always on the line, I'm a gambler, and this time, I don't think I need to gamble."

"But this universe wants to pull me back, back to the place where human life is used as a bargaining chip!"

The second lieutenant held his palm. "Then continue to gamble, the entire star district, the entire Skadi, and the entire fourth regiment will still accompany you to gamble, and you will win the bet, even if you win this dark universe, you don't dare to bet, we will win, win big and win."

"And I, and we, will continue, continue the darkness, the climb on the brink of death, until the light really falls."

"For the Emperor, for us, for you, my boss."

Alan Baier looked at the young man who had experienced the biggest day of his life and showed that wry smile. "Prepare me coffee, keep going, it seems that our good days are over."
