Chapter 654 06.653: "National Salvation Alliance"

? ? ? ! ! !
Wait, can one captain be commissioned with two capital ships?

Horatio was puzzled, with a look of ignorant surprise in his eyes.

He frowned slightly and scanned the faces of the people around him, trying to find the answer from their expressions.

He looked at Admiral Samuel Hood and Major General Edward Peru, only to see genuine surprise on their faces. It seemed that this matter was beyond their expectations.

"Admiral Jervis, can the same captain be commissioned to command two ships? Doesn't the Imperial Navy have a 'one ship, one captain' lifelong responsibility system?" Admiral Samuel Hood leaned slightly to the side and lowered his voice secretly, with a hint of caution in his expression, as if he was afraid that his words would be heard by others.

"We were planning to wait until the Indefatigable had rested before reissuing a new letter of commission. Wouldn't the Hazy Star Region Naval Headquarters say anything?" Major General Edward Peru continued what Admiral Hood said.

"I am the admiral of the Hazy Star Region Navy Headquarters. My friend, this is the vote of the Hazy Star Region Navy Committee. Admiral Kataria, I, and Ravensburg all support this appointment.

Besides, this is not to commission two battleships to him." Admiral Jarvis shook his head slightly, with a faint smile on his face.

He looked at Horatio and spoke in a neither loud nor soft voice, not sure if he was speaking to Admiral Hood or Horatio, or perhaps to both of them at the same time: "He will not be carrying out simple missions later. We have special tests for the heir of Speyer. A light cruiser and a battlecruiser will be used in different roles."

"Yes, Admiral Jervis." Admiral Samuel Hood bowed slightly with a respectful expression on his face.

After the ceremony, Admiral John Jervis straightened his back and walked down the steps steadily, his steps revealing the majesty of an admiral of the star domain headquarters.

He boarded a Skyhawk shuttle, the metallic sheen on the fuselage was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

It was clear that the admiral of the Star Domain Headquarters Fleet was indeed very busy, as could be seen from his hurried footsteps.

The entire triumphal ceremony lasted until dawn the next day.

At night, all of Macragge is illuminated by the bonfire in the altar.

The blazing flames illuminated the surroundings, and the flames licked the night sky, as if to dye the world with the color of victory. Here, Horatio saw Roman customs that were almost identical to the historical prototypes.

People dressed in colorful costumes danced happily around the bonfire, with joyful smiles on their faces.

The air was filled with the sweet aroma of fruits and the mellow fragrance of wine. Everyone enjoyed this rare joy to the fullest. The celebration lasted all night long, which was in stark contrast to the night curfew in most imperial hive worlds.

At dawn, the sun slowly rose from the ground, a hint of paleness appeared on the horizon, and then the golden light gradually enveloped the entire city.

At the same time, the sound of trumpets echoing throughout the city suddenly sounded, and the passionate sound went straight into the sky, announcing the glory of this victory to the world.

However, the sounding of this trumpet did not mean the end of the triumphal ceremony, but the opening of the triumphal Olympic Games.

The opening ceremony began with the Victory Chariot Celebration, where authentic Roman horse-drawn chariots were lined up in the Victory Square.

The sturdy horse shook its mane and neighed, as if it couldn't wait to show its prowess on the field.

The chariots raced around the arena in a thrilling race, the wheels rolled, raising clouds of dust, and the cheers and shouts of the audience intertwined, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

Horatio and his officers sat on the viewing stand with the best view. The stand was made of exquisite marble and was carved with delicate patterns.

The circular seats nearby were filled with Macragge citizens and his sailors, all of whom were staring intently at the game, afraid to miss any exciting moments.

"Yeah! Red Team! We surpassed them!" Old Man Joe's youngest son was so excited that his face turned red. He held the free large popcorn tube tightly in both hands and shouted loudly, with his mouth full, like a greedy hamster. On the viewing platform.

"Your Lord." Teiperu took off his usual neat riding clothes and put on a Makula-style dress.

She held the fine wine produced by Maclager Winery in her hand and gently shook the glass, causing ripples in the wine.

This Roman-style long skirt perfectly outlines the proud figure of the female judge, with unique slits at the waist and thighs. She only needs to slightly open her legs to reveal a pair of snow-white, tender, and fat-like thighs.

"You look especially cheerful today," said Horatio.

She walked lightly to Horatio's side, sat on the armrest of his chair with the elegant posture of a lady, and watched the fierce competition of horse-drawn chariots below with focused eyes.

"Not only did you gain honor and gain, but through your report, I also won the glory that belongs to the Inquisition.

We have united to deal a fatal blow to the aliens, and the Anti-Foreign Order is very happy to see this news." Teiperu raised his head slightly, with a proud smile on his face.

"So, what did you get?" Horatio turned his head slightly and looked at her with some curiosity in his eyes.

"Power." She raised the corner of her mouth slowly, leaning on the back of his chair, her proud bulge across his eyes through her white dress.

You can vaguely see two large and plump "Makuragu olives".

"The Order of the Xenophobes has granted me freedom of action and discretion.

I have the choice to commandeer any Imperial warship and Astartes barge into the Emperor's service, and can not only issue extermination orders, but also withdraw extermination orders on other Inquisitors.

This means that my future journey will be freer and smoother, and that I can put order to the chaos." She raised her wine glass, and her pink lips gently touched the rim of the glass, her movements were elegant and charming. "An extra surprise is that there is also a Death Watch Black Shield Squad at my disposal."

"Black Shield?" A key word was imprinted in Horatio's mind.

"I heard... this group of people came from unknown origins. For various reasons, they erased the emblems of glory and became Black Shields in hiding." Horatio chose his words carefully. He knew in his heart that he couldn't say it directly. There might even be remnants of the loyalists of the rebellious legion among them.

“Of course, you can rest assured that this elite Black Shield team has served the Death Watch for a hundred years.

Your loyalty and ability are obvious to all." Teiperu said, wrapping his slender white arm around his shoulders, leaning his body, and leaning against him intimately: "Please give me more advice on the rest of the journey, Your Excellency."

"I should rely on you, Miss Thei. In the Empire, without the support of an Inquisitor, many things will be difficult to accomplish. You have chosen to join my cause, so let's work together to save the Empire." Horatio nodded slightly, his expression serious and determined.

"A...national salvation alliance?" Teipelu raised his eyebrows, with a peculiar charm flashing in his eyes.

He raised his eyebrows and repeated, "Yes, the National Salvation Alliance. I think we should formally give the secret organization that supports our great cause a proper name."

"That sounds really cool." A smile appeared on Teiperu's lips, his eyes full of anticipation.

"To celebrate this victory and the establishment of our alliance. Miss Thei Perroux, will you do me the honor of coming to my mansion tonight to commemorate this great victory?"

"Is there anything more interesting in your mansion than in the city of Macragge?" Thei raised an eyebrow.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been there yet." He smiled.
