The emperors lash battleship, skybridge.
Kain, having already unpacked his luggage and tidied his and Kain's rooms, arrived on the skybridge with Yugen. As the pressure door slowly opened, the dazzling light from inside the battleship made Kain and Yugen squint.
Then, a familiar figure appeared before them,
"Yo! Long time no see, Political Commissar, Yugen."
Kain also smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a grand setup now, with a battleship and a fleet."
Kain smiled, extended his hand, and shook Li Feng's, his gaze sweeping over his old friend. Lord Li Feng was dressed in a stylish flight jacket, and black Martin boots gave him an unruly look.
This man, once merely Kain's companion, now stood on a battleship he had built, commanding a fleet.
"Haha, it's just luck that I'm here today."
Lord Li Feng let out a hearty laugh, his eyes holding a hint of unconcealed pride and emotion. He patted Kain's shoulder,
"However, among us brothers, you two are still the most reassuring."
Yugen stood to the side, watching the two men reunite. At this moment, Lord Li Feng pulled out two small gift boxes from his pocket and handed them to the two. Upon opening the boxes, they saw two Panerai watches.
The two were stunned. This watch was a famous brand from Old Terra! Many Army officers liked Panerai watches, while Navy officers preferred Lange. It seems the Navy gentlemen are indeed wealthy!
Kain and Yugen were momentarily stunned, not expecting Lord Li Feng to prepare such a gift. Panerai watches in the military have always been a symbol of status. Wearing this watch not only signifies status but also a tacit understanding, especially on the battlefield, where time and trust are indispensable.
Kain smiled, holding up the watch, and exclaimed, "You scoundrel, you're getting more and more generous! Putting on such a big show, I would have thought you were going to promote us!"
Lord Li Feng laughed, "No, no, no, these were prepared by my girlfriend for you. She said thank you for taking care of me…"
Yugen smiled and nodded, while Kain's smile froze as he looked at the watch in his hand… Oh, this… Should he wear this watch on his wrist… or hang it around his neck?
Yugen, receiving such a good gift for the first time, carefully put the watch on his wrist: "Thank you, Colonel and Mrs. Colonel."
Kain inwardly grumbled: "You should thank Lord Li Feng and the Emperor…"
Just then, several women walked out from behind Lord Li Feng, led by Celestine in casual clothes. Kain and Yugen were about to kneel the moment they saw the Living Saint, but Celestine stopped them.
At the same time, Celestine actively retreated a few steps, moving away from Yugen, because Celestine discovered that Yugen was an "Untouchable," also known as an "Anti-Psyker."
Only then did Kain realize that the "sister group" behind Lord Li Feng was quite distinctive. Besides Sister Fides, whom he had met and known before, there was also a pale-skinned female Psyker, and a… tall, red-haired Ark Aeldari!
"Oh! Political Commissar, Sergeant… it's been a long time." Fides immediately greeted Kain and Yugen. Fides noticed that Yugen's military rank on his shoulder had also been promoted.
Kain and Yugen also immediately responded with smiles. At this moment, Kassia performed a noble bow and introduced herself: "Hello, it's our first meeting. I am Kassia of the Othello Family, currently serving as a Navigator on Lord Li Feng's warship."
After speaking, Kassia began to tremble uncontrollably when she saw Yugen, because that person had no color! Moreover, Kassia even felt dizzy and experienced sharp pains throughout her body when Yugen spoke.
Kain saw that this Kassia clearly had the demeanor of a noble lady, and he bowed slightly. Next was the red-haired Aeldari, Eliette, who stood with her arms crossed, clearly wary of the Imperial Commissar before her.
"I am Eliette, Lord Li Feng's personal consultant. I was personally recruited and protected by Lord Li Feng, a friend of the emperor. I hope you don't misunderstand."
This self-introduction was clearly full of caution. Kain helplessly glanced at Lord Li Feng. After receiving Lord Li Feng's affirmative look, Kain could only nod. After Eliette finished speaking, she also moved a few steps away from Yugen and Kain.
The atmosphere on the skybridge was relaxed and pleasant, and the reunion of the three old friends felt especially warm. Only Celestine, Kassia, and Eliette, who were Psykers or sensitive to psychic energy, actively kept a greater distance from the three.
Kain stared at the battleship before him, his eyes betraying an unconcealed envy and admiration. He was long accustomed to the cold, rigid style of Imperial warships, but Lord Li Feng's Emperor's Lash was full of exquisite, humanized design, completely different from a typical Imperial battleship.
Every inch appeared spacious and bright, and there was even a faint fragrance in the air. Lord Li Feng had even chosen incense for the ship's lounge area.
Yugen, standing nearby, also couldn't help but exclaim, "Such a warship is like a sky palace, full of elegance and order."
Lord Li Feng smiled and continued the tour with the two, pointing to the cabin and saying, "How is it? It's different from the Empire's steel beasts, isn't it! Our ship has undergone special modifications, not just for combat, but also for comfort and adaptability for long-term operations."
At this moment, Fides led Celestine, Kassia, Eliette, and other accompanying women forward. Their respective makeup and attire looked exceptionally striking under the battleship's lights.
Fides smiled slightly, playfully glancing at Yugen:
"Yugen, your rank has gone up, you're really rising through the ranks! Political Commissar, we'll have to be careful, or Yugen might become our superior one day."
Yugen smiled and returned the greeting: "Thank you for your concern, Sister Fides. But you all are living much more comfortably than us Imperial Soldiers now."
After the tour, Lord Li Feng smiled and pulled Kain's shoulder: "How about it? Stay on our ship tonight. The facilities here are much better than yours, and it even comes with a small yacht."
When Kain heard about the yacht, he was a little curious. He wondered how a battleship could have a yacht… After he finished the tour, he couldn't say a word… Kain looked up at the ceiling… and could only sigh inwardly: "Is this the benefit of being close to the Emperor? Damn it! Why! I want it too!" (Kamen Rider meme)
He actually really wanted to move in, but he saw so many women following Lord Li Feng, and he strongly suspected that Lord Li Feng had even gotten the Living Saint… If he really moved in, he would be miserable every day, "worrying that his brother is suffering, yet fearing his brother is driving a Land Rover!" So Kain politely declined, explaining that he had taken over a reorganizing regiment, and there were many problems there, with an all-male regiment and an all-female regiment, both disliking each other, and he needed to keep an eye on them.
Lord Li Feng remembered this upon hearing it: "Oh, right, I heard you're now the Political Commissar of the Valhalla 597th Regiment."
"The 597th Regiment?" Kain was confused. Wasn't he the Political Commissar of the Valhalla 296th?
Lord Li Feng then realized he had "spoiled" it, and could only laugh and say, "The Valhalla 296th and 301st, don't they add up to 597?"
Hearing this, Kain slapped his forehead. Right! The designation "Valhalla 296th" was problematic! Both sides considered themselves part of the original unit, so they definitely wouldn't get along!
Why not merge the designations of the two regiments into "Valhalla 597th Regiment"? Wouldn't that open up the situation!
"Holy crap! Thanks, brother!"
Kain grabbed Lord Li Feng's hand at this moment, with an expression like he had just bummed a cigarette from a brother, almost shouting "Thank you, Dad" to Lord Li Feng.
Lord Li Feng was also quite curious about Kain's future legendary regiment: "I haven't met the people in your new unit yet. How about I go take a look?"
