Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 537 06.0536: "Short Vacation"

"Now I believe it's not a dream."

"Yeah." She lowered her head shyly and smiled slightly.

call out!call out!call out!
The silence was broken by sudden and piercing roars.

Arabella was startled, and her first reaction was to look at Horatio, who had a calm face. Then she and he looked up and saw several dragon-like flames leaping into the sky.

boom! boom! boom!
Fireworks bloomed in the inky black night sky, lighting up the black sky and overshadowing the stars.

The sparks were reflected in the calm lake water. A huge Qilin dragon rushed out of the water and leaped dozens of meters into the air, as if chasing the fireworks in the sky.

These scenes are all astonishing.

There were twinkling sparkles in Arabella's eyes.

The gorgeous fireworks made her cover her mouth in surprise. She was silent for a long time before she said:
"This is so beautiful. I think this one word is more beautiful than thousands of fancy words. It is even more romantic and artistic than the natural scenery you see when you climb the mountain during the day."

"Do you feel better?"

"Well, this is my first time traveling with someone else, and a man at that. Thank you for letting me experience such a beautiful moment in the world." She nodded slightly and tightened her hand in his grip.

The lotus lanterns float in the lake, finding a sense of tranquility. In this romantic fireworks and festive atmosphere, it is hard for single men and women not to have a sense of love in their hearts.

The two didn't say anything, but there seemed to be a force pushing the man and woman together. Their bodies moved closer and closer, and their lips moved closer and closer.

At the moment when the lips touched.

Drip!Drip!
The two people's communication beads rang at the same time.

Sister Arabella wanted to leave, but Horatio held her tightly, letting the softness and warmth between his lips and teeth linger for a few seconds, before reluctantly letting go.

After a brief moment of tenderness, Sister Arabella shyly pursed her lips and then took out her rosary.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late, Captain."

"It's all right. Please tell me, Inquisitor Thei. What can I do for you?"

"To be honest, I wanted to talk to you today about the mission that Brother Korchagin and I had to take care of, but a serious problem arose on Basol, so I had to go to Basol first. So I have already left Zhendan."

"Basol? Is it the planet that the Zhendan Triumphant Army we escorted captured?"

"Yes, there has been a serious anti-imperial riot, with rebellions, riots and attacks happening one after another. As the nearest Inquisitor, I must deal with this matter and eradicate the trouble."

Horatio looked at Sister Arabella, who also had a serious expression and frowned.

"Yes, I understand. I will lead the preaching team to Basor immediately."

When she looked at Horatio, her eyes were filled with apology.

"What's wrong, Sister Arabella?"

"Members of the state church's preaching team were killed by the rebels in Basor. Basor has entered a full-scale martial law. The armed nuns will intervene and carry out armed preaching."

"You're included?"

"Yes, Captain. I may have to perform a mission before I board your warship."

"I'll go with you," Horatio said without hesitation.

"This is not your mission, you are on leave now." "The leave is over." He straightened his collar and buttoned the top button, immediately changing from a casual posture to the seriousness of a soldier.

At this moment, the lotus lantern has also reached the shore.

He stood up, looked at Sister Arabella, and pulled her up from her soft seat: "The mission is calling us."
-
Aurora Orbital Dock - the Imperial Navy's anchorage.

Seeing the young heroic naval lieutenant colonel wearing a neat military uniform and with an officer's epaulettes with more luxuriant and complex tassels on his right shoulder, the sentry on duty stepped forward to salute him, and the waiter opened the door and looked up to salute him.

Horatio, wearing black combat boots, strode into the Naval Officers Club at the anchorage and climbed the stairs with small, smart steps.

Up there, several naval officers and midshipmen were sitting together playing cards and regicide chess to kill time during their boring night watch.

First mate Archie Cuthbert Collingwood was the first to notice Horatio and immediately stood up from his chess position and saluted.

"captain!"

Horatio returned the greeting as he walked away.

Other officers nearby, including Leidos, Harvey, Fideo, and David Beatty, saluted the captain one after another.

"Congratulations on your promotion, Captain!" they shouted excitedly and booingly.

"I'm going to Basor."

"Basol? Wasn't it occupied by the Zhendan Triumphant Army?"

"Something went wrong. I am escorting an armed missionary group from the Holy Rosary Sisters to the area."

"But Captain, the Epic has already left Zhendan and is heading to Connor for upgrades."

"Don't worry, Lord Colonel Elphinstone will take us there in a light cruiser. You will be responsible for recruiting crew quotas in Zhendan. The comprehensive quality and level of the Zhendan people are among the best in the entire human empire. Recruiting crew here will only benefit the overall quality of the crew.

Aqi, this task will mainly be entrusted to you. "

"No problem! Captain, I'll make sure the mission is completed."

Horatio nodded and called out to the restaurant, "Louise!"

Hearing Horatio's voice, Louise quickly put down the spoon that had cut into the soft aurora cake, quickly swallowed the cake she was chewing, quickly wiped off the remaining traces of cake from the corners of her mouth, stood up and strode out of the restaurant, stood in front of everyone, saluted Horatio and said, "Captain, Lieutenant Louise reports to you!"

"Louise, we are going to Aurora together. You will be responsible for leading an armed force with me."

"Understood! Captain, I'll prepare immediately. Where are we going?" Although this sudden mission made her a little confused, as a professional officer of the Empire, obeying orders was her unwavering answer.

"Bathoor, Inquisitor Thei is on a mission there, and Sister Arabella is also going there to preach armed missions. As their close comrades, we cannot be idle either. They will need us and our armed forces."

"Yes! Captain!"

Louise immediately ran downstairs and headed to the armed forces station at the port for mobilization.

"So, we are going to mobilize the navy to the land of Basol?"

"That's right. Sister Arabella is one of us now, and as captain I am responsible for her safety."

Horatio took a glass of wine from the servant and drank it all, then slammed the glass on the table:

"There's a serious riot in Basor, and martial law is in place. These are no longer ordinary rebels! We must strike hard!"
