Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 257 Military Wedding
The Skadi people are crazy. Some members of the Imperial Guard who are clear about the situation, such as the foreign stationed personnel, commented this way. When Alan Baier made the bad behavior public, most people in Skadi knew that the war was coming. And despise the practice of those who forsake the Emperor's honor for selling their souls for profit.

But at such a tense moment, what came to them was not a declaration of war, tactical planning or mobilization requirements, but an invitation, an invitation exclusive to the Skadi heroes.

It is too bad to say that it is deceptive, or that the tactics are too bad for this matter. The Skadi people just want to bless this strange couple from the bottom of their hearts. There is no hesitation, and there will be no hesitation. Kan, those people, like the nomads who used to live on Terra, did not fear war and even made it a part of their lives.

That special feeling can't be fully understood even by Destroyer Eagle, but it's just that they organize a wedding at such an important moment of mobilization?
Whether it's doubts, blessings, trust, or recognition, people are driven by those feelings and many interests to that unique auditorium, which is a camp exclusively for the Imperial Guard, and it is the most suitable place for this lover.

Among the piled sandbags, bunkers, barbed wire and training equipment, and under the gaze of the Imperial Engine, in front of rows of Lemanus tanks, Hydra anti-aircraft tanks, and many terrifying metal monsters, the simple camp was destroyed. Wear a variety of fake plastic bouquets, or hang fancy wind chimes from cartridge cases.

This is not the first wedding of Skadi after liberation, but the first wedding of the [-]th Infantry Regiment of Skadi, representing the new bouquet of new life and hope blooming in this place full of death, and only today, many Kadi Tachang surrounded this place, and the originally strong camp was checked again.

Every guest must be strictly checked, not only the lord of Skadi will come here, but the infantry of Skadi, the soldiers of Phraxia, they will not allow anyone to do anything on the most important day of their family Move your feet!
Since ancient Terra, this day representing the union of human beings has been very grand, although under the huge population of the empire with tens of millions of people and the threat of war from the enemy all the time, the feelings of the people of the empire towards weddings have become weaker and weaker.

But this does not mean that the wedding is not important to human civilization. On the contrary, when it can be celebrated, the grandness and grandeur of this event may exceed many times before.

Soon, the guests gathered, and the seats were full. Under the gaze of the emperor, the light was cast from the stained glass, and the exquisitely crafted dais was carved with a head representing purity. People gathered here, and every guest wore military uniforms without exception. The temperament is tall and straight, and the morale is also high. If there are any exceptions, there is probably only one girl named Arya and the old man beside her.

They witnessed the priest stepping into the place on the stage, sweet cakes and delicacies were waiting in the square outside the camp, Little Leitherin hurriedly changed into his military uniform, and sat on a bench. Those comrades around him were used to his stench, Just frowned slightly.

Sergeant Catachan was sitting next to him. He changed his previous shirtless or short-sleeved appearance. Even if he was operating outside the cold Skadi, he would wear as light clothes as possible, but only today, he responded according to the imperial rank requirements. It is a school-level military uniform, full of high spirits.

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

Behind the podium, she was slowly moved forward. It was a tall beauty who was supported forward by the bridesmaid, the girl from Mechanics, Skadi and the technical priest of Flaxi. Now she has faded away from the hostility on the battlefield She left a head of beautiful long hair, paired with the luxurious dark golden dress of the empire, capable but engraved into the bone marrow, there is no doubt that she, this bride is so beautiful, who can win her favor?

"To the bridegroom!" After the high-pitched voice, the second lieutenant, supported by the Lord of Skadi, Alan Baier, stepped here in a beautiful and capable military uniform. won numerous honors.

Those glittering badges became brighter under the silver light shining from the glass at this moment, because this wedding not only represented the union of two people, but also the second lieutenant had to take over the honor and future of Flaxia on behalf of his lover, which did not Not a wedding in the traditional sense, but more complicated but more modest.

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

"Second Lieutenant Skadi, are you willing to take over the full honor and command of the 113th Regiment of Fraxia, and not disgrace those history?"

the groom answered. "I do!"

"Then, Miss Kellys Arkady, are you willing to lay down your responsibilities, enjoy the remaining grace, life and peace bestowed on you by the Emperor, and entrust it to your lover?"

the bride answered. "I do!"

"Then, exchange tokens." The pastor shouted, and the bride took off her dog tag and the dog tag of the first generation leader of the Fraxia 133 Regiment. The two pieces of metal were astonishingly thick. A real burden indeed.

The second lieutenant lowered his head, when the metal touched his neck, the young man was almost suffocated, but when he could make the decision to marry this complicated woman, he had already prepared his mind, he knelt gently on one knee, Wearing a gemstone ring representing love (in the darkest age in the future of mankind, diamonds have been recognized as useless, but gemstones are still long-lasting and precious) on the girl's ring finger.

Soon, the two hugged and kissed each other. Tens of thousands of soldiers, even the people who gathered outside the auditorium, burst into violent applause at this moment.

The sound that represents vitality shakes the entire castle, as if it will not dissipate, like the beating of the heart. Nowadays, people are full of thoughts, but they can have the same purpose at this moment today. This is the charm of civilization.

The ceremonial officer spoke. "Please ask our best man, the master of Skadi, to say a few words."

Alan Baier is thinking about this slightly strange wedding in his heart at this moment, because men and women are really equal in this era, and they are all one of the thousands of people who sacrificed for the emperor, so it is no longer "granted" by the man but by each other. But to this "dead of the old age", those things looked solemn and strange.

However, he still blessed this matter from the bottom of his heart. Secondly, the speech has been carried out on him many times, so that he no longer needs any manuscripts, preparations, and will not be timid.

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

"All warriors who fought with 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 experienced so much, victories, failures, Death, those things are intertwined, which makes me pay special attention to each of you."

"Although the Skadi Infantry Regiment has been established for a long time, I still feel the same way, but today, my child, the second lieutenant I regard as a child, stepped into the wedding hall, which is memorable, but I want to say directly, this Behind this wedding is cruelty, the undertone of war."

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

"I hope that the glory and light of the Emperor will always shine over Skadi. I hope that people with feelings can gather here. I hope that war and death, heresy or aliens will never interfere with our lives again, but this is hardly the case. Possibly, I know, we can only shoot, attack, kill, one at a time, never changing, until this galaxy is empty of people."

"But I don't intend to give up. Everyone, I wish the couple well. At the same time, I hope that no one will be threatened during the wedding. For this goal, we will take up arms again and go to the enemy."

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

"So I can keep asking and fighting and fighting and waiting until it works out, even if it takes hundreds, thousands of years, I want it to work out, and one day we can celebrate life without enemies Any moment that matters, until the stars go out and the universe heats up!"

"Now, now, let's bless this wedding, bless the beginning of life, and look forward to the future." He panted heavily, angry, playing at this moment, and infecting most people. Being threatened is even more irritating, coupled with the information provided by the judge before, the anger of the Skadi people was completely ignited today.

The second lieutenant held Alan Baier's palm in his uniform, and he reported to his officer seriously. "I will be responsible for making what happened today never happen again, my officer, for my children, for my lover, and for my brothers."

In a word, applause, applause, long and crazy roar, until tired, the voice stopped, the priest began to sing, those emperor's mantras, shelter these two people are still in harmony and peace in the dark 40 thousand years of human beings, the content is very long, but no one does not Listen in silence until the sun shines at noon and the stained glass casts light.

People leave in an orderly manner, go to the courtyard to enjoy food or rest, celebrate and commemorate these few days, and at the same time prepare for the opening of the war.

This wedding is as complicated as it is performed. It is both Skadi's new life and Skadi's danger. The strong contrast highlights the tragic state of the empire and makes people have to admit that Skadi has not yet Safety.

That kind of gap seems to close the gates of heaven, but the people of Skadi have experienced worse days. They are very optimistic and drink and talk outside, even if the cold weather and harsh environment are making things worse, even if the food is getting worse because of the temperature drop. If the taste is slightly worse, they will happily enjoy their days.

Whether it is trenches, hive cities or fortresses, those strong people have not changed, and will not change in the future. Although cruel, of course it is sad, but at the end of the 40th millennium human civilization in this dark universe, no one can put himself in those The most tragic things stay out of the way.

If Skadi does not stand up, then those bad things will fall on the weaker imperial world, several times of navigation blockade, several times of oppression, those poor people will starve to death for no reason, the original strict class issues and Even more exaggerated, resources will be brought into Njili Bay without limit, bringing unlimited prosperity and wealth to its owner...

During this period of time, the glimmer of hope brought by Skadi will also be extinguished by those mercenary demons, and even worse, those people will join forces with the red pirates to open the way for them to go to the solar star field and go to the holy Terra to defile The ancient stars of mankind!

So this time the entire sector was outraged, and with this wedding, the ensign's best moment in life turned into a pathetic political stunt, Alan Byer went backstage, dejectedly cleaning his cheeks with ice water, and he had become A person who will use his brother's life to gain benefits?

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

He smiled wryly, his eyes were wet, water dripped down continuously, he looked as if he was crying, but suddenly the second lieutenant patted his shoulder, and he immediately adjusted his state. "Isn't this our lucky one?"

The second lieutenant said. "Don't lie to me, you don't like this at all, you like a small wedding, just friends, comrades, and bring John and his family, at most."

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

"My officer, we are your sharp blade. As I said, we are willing to sacrifice everything for the future of mankind, especially in the wonderful place of Skadi. Just a wedding is nothing."

"Even if you want me to do more pathetic things, it doesn't matter. Without you, we have nothing now."

The second lieutenant lamented the evaluation, and Alan Baier just said. "You think too highly of me, I would be nothing without you, I'm not Celestine, I'm not Kane, and I'm not a strong man gifted by the Emperor, my life is always at risk, I'm a gambler , and this time, I don’t think I need to gamble.”

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

The ensign took his palm. "Then continue to gamble, the entire star area, the entire Skadi, and the entire fourth regiment will still gamble with you, the bet will win, even if we win this dark universe, we will not dare to gamble, we will win, big win, big win .”

"And I, and we, will continue, continue to climb in the dark, on the verge of death, until the light really falls."

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

Alan Bayer looked at this young man who had experienced the most important day in his life, showing that wry smile. "Prepare me some coffee, keep going, it seems that our good days are coming to an end."
