Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 5 01.0005: ‘Who is this guy?’

Faced with Horatio’s persistent request, Farida carefully examined the ring this time and saw the words “Imperial Battleship” and “Legend” on it.

In her memory, her father, the captain, whom she rarely saw, seemed to have a naval honor ring with the word “Legend” engraved on it, but it was not so finely engraved.

Could it be that… the family of the death row prisoner in front of her is richer than her own?

Farida shook her head and quickly discarded this absurd idea.

Her Hood family is the most prestigious naval family in the current Abyss Port, and it also produced two brothers, Samuel Hood and Alexander Hood, who are lord captains with outstanding military achievements.

The lord captain of the Imperial Navy can also be called the lord colonel of the navy. Those who get this title are all legendary figures in the Imperial Navy and have the supreme and glorious power to act on behalf of the Imperial Navy.

This ring with the word "Legend" engraved on it is another status symbol for the captains besides the medal.

There are only a handful of people in the entire Gothic Fleet who have this honor, and no family has ever had two of them at the same time.

If it really came from a noble family, how could this kid end up like this.

Is the ring a fake? Impossible, where did the people in the middle and lower nests get the refined gold material and refined gold carving technology?

Refined gold is a rare material that is hard enough to make the keel and bow shield of a warship. Every batch of refined gold mined is escorted to the shipbuilding base by the Imperial Navy.

Picked it up? Too outrageous, her father treated it as a treasure and took care of it by hand, never letting her touch it, how could a careless captain lose it to the lower nest?

Stolen? Unbelievable, what kind of thief would bypass the entire upper nest patrol and guards and sneak into the lord captain's house just to steal a ring? Now he still swore to let her, a specialist of the Ministry of Justice, help to identify it? ?

A storm swept through Farida's mind, and she quickly thought about every possibility.

Finally.

She crashed.

Farida could not give any reasonable explanation, and she remembered the rules contained in this ring while thinking just now.

There are many meritorious symbols in the empire that have the property of immunity from guilt. When she first came to the Ministry of Justice for an internship, she once remembered it so much that she collapsed and had insomnia.

The lord captain has the right to kill on behalf of the imperial navy for the benefit of the empire. The ring of the commander is the imperial sword bestowed on the lord captains in the name of the emperor.

Over the long years, many rings will be passed down. Gradually, the imperial officials left the tradition of "recognizing the ring but not the person" to show respect for the hero family, while constantly raising the standard of becoming a lord captain.

If this ring is really the ring of the captain, then the rascal in front of him, let alone killing people, even if he kills everyone in the PW-P-15 giant starport cargo area, the Imperial Law Department cannot punish him.

[If this guy is really the descendant of a higher-ranking lord colonel, helping him now can make his family owe a favor to the Hood family in the navy... Even if not, take his ring away later and throw him to the Law Department. ]

"So, Miss Hood, have you decided?"

The black-haired young man woke her up from her calculations with a crisp voice.

"I approve your request."

Horatio quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally let go.

He looked down at the ring on his finger, and it seemed that its value was as he guessed.

"Why didn't you bring 'Death Row Prisoner No. 24601' this time." Before preparing to act, Horatio wanted to dilute the tense and depressing atmosphere, so he joked.

"Shut up, death row prisoner No. 24601."

——

"Go to the right and keep your eyes open. Today is the day of the blessing. The High Priest wants us to guard against it!"

The cultist held a torch and passed Horatio, who was 15 meters away from them.

Horatio crouched in front of the Huntress. This was also her request, so that he could keep an eye on him and not shoot him secretly.

After the patrol team left, Horatio raised his hand, raised his index and middle fingers, and pointed forward twice.

The two shadows almost stood up at the same time and walked forward quickly.

Horatio, who had rich military and police experience, kept pointing the muzzle of the gun in the direction where there might be enemies. His skillful movements made the Huntress have all kinds of doubts and puzzlement about the handsome and thin young man in front of her.

[This guy is so skilled that he looks like a special agent of the Ministry of Justice...]

Because there was no building intelligence map, the action could only rely on the tactical analyzer and augury instrument on the Huntress's head to plan and analyze the route in real time.

The gate was guarded by cultists, and Horatio planned to go around to the side to take a look.

He immediately gestured to the female hunter behind him to signal.

The two sneaked from behind the ruins and quickly approached the wall of the chapel. The female hunter gently patted Horatio on the shoulder, and Horatio immediately looked in the direction she pointed.

With the help of thermal imaging, he saw the old vents and the hot air coming out of them from the darkness.

The female hunter quickly squatted down, with her back against the wall and a gun on guard.

Horatio understood what she meant, stepped on her shoulders to climb the grille, and pried open the bolt connection plate with a tactical knife.

Snap!

After four light sounds, the grille was carefully removed by Horatio and hidden at the bottom of the ruins.

"I'll go first." The female hunter whispered unceremoniously.

She didn't want to stare at a man's butt in the ventilation duct all the time, although she didn't want to do it the other way around, but at least out of sight, peace of mind.

The vent was located at a higher position, and Horatio, who was taller, agreed with the order of letting the Huntress go first from a tactical point of view. Unless she used the jetpack on her back, she might not be able to jump up.

But once the jetpack was opened, their movements could be heard from a hundred meters away.

He took a horse stance with his hands crossed.

The Huntress folded the jetpack nozzle and stepped on his hand. Horatio pushed upward and helped her get into the vent smoothly.

"Hmm, it stinks..." The stench in the ventilation duct came towards her. The Huntress's air purification device was broken in the previous fight, and she had to inhale the air mixed with various strange smells like the people in the lower nest.

As soon as her upper body got in, her hand was stained with a pool of warm liquid with a foul smell.

[Is this... urine? ]

The expression on the Huntress's face immediately became ugly and distorted, and her pupils trembled.

That's right, this noble female hunter had never been prepared for the first time in her life. She had never been prepared for the first time in her life.

Suddenly, the ball of fur that had been motionless in front of her suddenly turned around.

"Ah!" The female hunter let out a small cry, but almost immediately shut her mouth.

It was an oversized mutant bat, with terrible red eyes full of malicious ferocity, and the piercing screams destroyed and tortured her eardrums. The female hunter was caught off guard and hurriedly pulled out her pistol.

Da! Da! Two muffled sounds came from inside.

[+ Hey, what's wrong? Keep your voice down! +]

Hearing the cry, Horatio immediately raised his gun to be alert, and at the same time called Farida on the noisy short-range communication channel.

The female hunter's slender legs kept kicking out, and only the following could be barely heard in the noisy short-range communication channel due to interference:

[+ There is a monster... Huh, huh, thank the Emperor, it's dead... Uh, I'm stuck, push me, quick. +】

Horatio looked up and saw that the hunting lady's tactical waistband was pushed down further during the fierce struggle, which completely stuck her hips, which could barely fit into the pipe.

"What's that sound over there? Hey, you guys go check it out!"

Horatio's heart skipped a beat.

[It's broken! ]
