The Emperor’s Angel of Death - #2126 - Vol 2 Chapter 2081: Who is the glory?
In a mansion in Happy City that has been cleaned and repaired broken doors and windows, ethereal and melodious singing is faintly floating. In the hall on the second floor, an exquisite tower-shaped instrument is emitting a rose-colored light. A group of beautiful dancers in gorgeous costumes rose up, their skirts fluttered, and as they danced, they left a golden light in the air.
In the center of the hall, there is a gorgeous polished wooden table, which can surround a dozen seats, and there are plates and plates of food, including sea fish with unique shapes, and some with hooves and claws Land beasts of all sizes and varieties, stewed, fried, boiled, baked, and raw.
Other plates decorated with gold and silver thread contained exquisite desserts, and servants in bronze and green uniforms similar to those of the Astra Militarum stood around the walls and waited for orders.
Arney, dressed in a neat military uniform, was sitting on a chair, listening to the elegant music, while slowly tasting the food in front of him with a knife and fork. The room seemed to be full of soft and hazy ghosts, swaying in the erratic light indefinite.
Through the window, one could see that a storm was blowing outside. Occasionally, a few beams of white light came in from the tall and narrow windows, setting off the surrounding scenery particularly vividly, accompanied by rumbling thunder.
It’s not that Arney doesn’t want to “fight side by side” with the soldiers, but he grew up in a sunny and spacious upper nest, and he is not used to that kind of claustrophobic environment, but it doesn’t mean that he has any claustrophobia, just He would be in poor shape in that environment.
So he had no choice but to hand over the command to the front-line officers, and “sit above” to remotely control the situation.
But the time away from the battlefield also made him quite boring these days, and he even had to take out this “uninteresting” video entertainment equipment to cheer up the somewhat monotonous dinner.
When the singing reached a new climax, Arni put down the knife and fork, and moved his right hand to the empty goblet beside him. Immediately, an attendant holding a glass wine jug came over, and the price was so expensive that most of the people of the empire could not afford it. Imaginary wine poured into a goblet.
At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly, Arni coughed lightly, and then an attendant opened the door.
“Master.”
An officer in his fifties, wearing a military uniform, with gray hair, but looking very capable and shrewd, walked into the hall, his body still had some wet marks, and then he handed over the hat and military coat in his hand To the side attendant.
This is Suhrab Ziv, one of his retainers sent by his father to assist him, and also his most important staff officer. The previous victories were all thanks to the advice of the other party.
This person used to be a regiment commander in the Star Militia Army. He reached the rank of colonel before he was forty years old, and he has been serving in the Gothic sector. However, he was framed and hunted down because he offended a lord commander. He fled to the Maelstrom with his family, and was taken in by Arni’s father. Since then, he has served the Morales family, managed their family guards, and provided basic military training for the family’s teenagers.
After all, their family is also a “military family”, and they have to understand military knowledge since they are sensible.
So Arni’s military mentor in his childhood and youth was also Sohrab, who can be regarded as half of his master.
“Uncle Suhrab, you’ve worked hard, let’s sit down and eat together.”
Suhrab did not refuse, and walked cautiously to Arni’s right, while the attendants put the knives, forks and plates in front of him one by one.
But instead of eating right away, he was poured a glass of wine, which was also his personal habit.
After taking a sip and putting down the wine glass, Suhrab asked the attendant to take out a small cloth pocket from the military coat pocket, then opened it, and dumped the contents on the table.
Amidst the clattering sound, pieces of rose-colored crystals emitted blurred light under the light.
However, Arni just glanced at it, and then looked away. In his eyes, precious gems or crystals are not rare things, let alone these are not expensive things, just some industrial raw materials.
“Master, the quality of this batch of minerals is very high, and the Red Pirates obviously missed a lot of veins.”
“I don’t understand, the family is not short of money, why my father must get involved in the mining here so soon.”
Suhrab smiled, then cut off a small steak with a knife, put it into his mouth with a fork, chewed and swallowed it, and replied:
“Maybe there was no shortage before, but it’s different now.”
“Huh? Did something happen at home?”
“It’s not about what’s happening now, it’s about the future.”
“future?”
Arney wiped his mouth. Pull off the napkin around your neck and put it on the table.
“Master, this expedition is obviously coming to an end. The power gathered due to the war is a huge cake, but it is obvious that the Supreme Commander of Soshyan, as an Astartes, has no way to taste the final The Fruits of Victory So, a huge power vacancy will arise, there will be a war more fierce than expeditions within the empire, these riches will be our ammunition, your father is actively forming a huge network of allies, think To dominate the maelstrom political structure after the war, there must be enough interests to distribute and promise, and these are transformed into reality, then it is wealth, status, land, and even the army. Will the Morales family be able to change their influence from The expansion of the Sagan galaxy to a wider area depends on the time before and after the end of the expedition.”
Arnie smacked his lips noncommittally.
“Why not gain more glory by fighting for the Emperor? This looks… boring.”
Sohrab knew the young master’s temper, but he understood that it was only because the other party was still young, and Arni’s talent and ability were not bad. At least his military experience during this period had allowed him to grow a lot. Wasted on a woman’s belly.
“Haha, master, the glory needs to match the status, just like this expedition, the greatest glory will always belong to the Astartes, because they stand at the highest place, and even if it is within them~www.readwn.com~Glory It is also divided into layers. The glory enjoyed by the chapter leader is always higher than that of ordinary sergeants, and the apex of all of them must be the young master commander of the supreme lord of Soshyan. Think about those big soldiers who are digging tunnels. No matter how much they do, is there any glory to be had?”
Arney raised an eyebrow slightly.
“At least they have collective glory.”
“Isn’t that yours too?”
“Forget it, this kind of thing is nothing worth discussing, what else does father plan?”
“The head of the family intends to win the position of governor of the Badab galaxy for you.”
“ah?”
Arney was really surprised this time.
“Badab? I heard that place was burnt into a piece of scorched earth?”
