Chapter 178 03.0177: "One-way Ticket"

The beautiful and charming blonde girl rides on the hips of the handsome young officer.

Her light and translucent pink lips, embellished with high-end lip glaze, exude a faint fresh luster.

The beautiful lips that were shining and trembling slightly made people unable to resist sticking to them.

Horatio's heart also began to beat faster as he admired the dreamlike scene before him.

As an adolescent male with vigorous physical activity, especially when slightly intoxicated by alcohol, he found it difficult to resist the temptation in such an atmosphere.

A warm feeling spread in my heart.

After going through so much.

He would not deny that he did not feel moved.

Now, is it the physiology and alcohol that are at work, or is it an emotional process that has come naturally?

He wasn't sure, and he didn't intend to waste this precious atmosphere to explore this issue.

He put his arms around her slender and soft waist and held her tight.

Until their chests were pressed together through their officer uniforms.

He felt the soft touch and elasticity.

Just as he breathed out a breath of warm air and his lips were about to touch each other.

The captain's urgent voice came out of the room's sound system at an inopportune time.

"Acting Lieutenant Horatio, Deputy Hood, report to the bridge immediately. It's an emergency."

Horatio and Farida looked towards the sound array immediately.

Both of them blushed. Farida stood up from him and adjusted her clothes awkwardly.

"Well, it looks like we have to get back to this topic." Horatio joked reluctantly, hoping to ease some of the embarrassment in her heart.

Farida lowered her head, bit her lower lip with her white teeth, her face flushed, but she remained silent.

Horatio put on his bicorne hat and put the sword and scabbard that were on the coffee table into the sword belt at his waist.

Then he put Farida's bicorne on her head and straightened it for her.

Suddenly, he leaned over and kissed her forehead.

Farida shuddered instinctively and blinked her lowered red eyes.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at the young man's jade-like eyes in surprise.

"Let's go, it seems to be an urgent matter."

Horatio placed his white-gloved hand on his sword, regained his businesslike demeanor, and handed Farida a handkerchief.

Farida reached out to take it, supported the pabu with her slender fingers, and wiped away the tears from her long eyelashes.

After adjusting her breathing, she pursed her lips and nodded, quickly regaining her officer's dignity.

Horatio gentlemanly opened the door for her and asked her to go in first.

The two well-dressed naval officers hurried towards the elevator leading to the bridge in a serious manner, as if nothing had happened.

"Captain." Horatio, who stepped onto the command bridge first, saluted to the captain, and Farida followed behind him and saluted as well.

The battle-hardened veteran looked unhappy, as if something earth-shattering had happened.

Level 2 combat alert has been issued for the entire ship.

The officers had not rested for long before they returned to their posts on the bridge one after another.

At first they didn't understand what was going on, until they learned about the situation on the battleship "Sacred Will", everyone was very surprised.

Commodore Peru looked at Horatio and Farida, exhaled slowly, and said bluntly: "An armed force mutiny occurred on Vice Admiral Hood's Sacred Will."

"What..." Farida's green eyes widened instantly, and the breath was stuck in her throat.

"Mutiny?" Horatio's reaction was also surprised.

"The armed sailors are loyal crew members who have been tested in battle. How could they mutiny?"

Because armed sailors are an important defense force on warships, the Admiralty treats them well to ensure their loyalty.

Normally, they would not mutiniate even if all the sailors mutinied.

"I know you find it hard to believe. But this incident happened so strangely. If Lieutenant General Hood hadn't contacted him personally, I would have severely scolded the communications officer."

Brigadier General Peru sighed.

"Lieutenant General Hood is my good friend, your superior, and even more so your father." Brigadier General Peru's eagle-like eyes swept across the faces of the two young officers:

“It’s definitely too late to rely on the speed of the Indefatigable and other ships.

I will load all the shark assault boats that can be used immediately on the Indefatigable with troops. And you, Acting Lieutenant Horatio, you still have your Inquisition rose knot, right?" "Yes." Horatio took out the bright red rose knot from his collar.

“I didn’t want to tell you this so early.

But Captain Sterling and I have the responsibility to command the warship and prepare for battle.

If by any chance we fail to catch up and the rebels seize the Retribution-class battleship... we may have to engage in a void battle with the Retribution-class battleship while waiting for fleet reinforcements.

God-Emperor, even I can’t believe who are the loyalists and who are the spies lurking around me.

According to the Imperial Navy's confidentiality management regulations, all confidential documents must be received by two officers together and supervise each other to ensure that the documents are not tampered with or lost.

Of all the people, you two are the only two left who are members of the Gothic Fleet Security Committee. One is the Inquisitor's attendant, and the other is his biological daughter. You are trustworthy.

Lieutenant General Hood has a very important list of information, a top-secret document written on consecrated parchment, wrapped in a large leather bag, which contains the evil cult that kidnapped you at the time.

You will bring this information back in person, and the Blood Angels Astartes will protect your safety."

"We will definitely live up to our mission!" Horatio's face was solemn. Farida bit her lower lip and saluted Brigadier General Peru.

"By the way, Acting Lieutenant Horatio, this is a symbol of your status." Brigadier General Peru took out a finely carved gold box from his throne storage cabinet, opened it and handed it to Horatio.

Lying quietly inside was a twelve-pointed star made of pure gold, with the ship emblem of the Indefatigable embedded in silver in the middle, and the ship's name "Indefatigable" was engraved with flag patterns below the emblem.

"This is the Indefatigable's proxy star. We all call it the 'Indefatigable Star'. It is eight hundred years old. Take good care of it. There is only one for each warship.

It will continue to be useful in the future, but now it is yours. With it, you have the authority to act as a lieutenant in the Navy."

Brigadier General Peru said solemnly with a serious expression: "Your father wore it too. The Divine Emperor expects everyone to fulfill their duties."

"I will definitely live up to the Emperor's will!"

Horatio took the twelve-pointed star with both hands respectfully, put away the small box, and put the palm-sized conspicuous medal on his chest.

"Now, please rush to the landing platform immediately, young people, we will definitely work hard to save this crisis."

"Yes!"

The young men and women set off immediately, and Horatio and Farida rushed directly out of the command bridge.

Red warning lights flashed on the Indefatigable's landing platform, and shrill sirens echoed throughout the cabin.

"I am the commander of the armed forces. The Indefatigable's armed forces are boarding the ship immediately. Count down to three minutes."

The Imperial Navy boarding team and armed sailors formed a marching column and ran quickly on the platform.

They rushed into the Shark assault boat and took their seats.

This 55-meter-long behemoth can carry a full load of 50 mortal soldiers.

The technical priests and acolytes were preparing for the long-range raid, and the warrant officer yelled at the sailors to check whether the fuel tanks were full in preparation for the upcoming long-range raid.

Given the distance between the Indefatigable and the Divine Will, even a Shark Assault Boat or a Thunderhawk Gunboat, fully loaded with promethium fuel, would only be enough for a one-way trip.

After getting the documents, Horatio and Farida wanted to return home, so they had to board another Shark assault boat from the bridge dock of the Sacred Will.

Lieutenant General Hood had already prepared a return boat for them and arranged for the general's guard to stand guard.

These assault boats will be escorted by Fury interceptors and will choose to either ram directly into the Sacred Will or land from the docking station depending on the situation.

In order to distinguish between friend and foe, the troops involved in the boarding operation updated the friend-or-foe identification code, and also attached a fluorescent tape with the words "Military Police" on their arms, backs, and helmets for visual identification.

"Have you heard? There was a mutiny on Admiral Hood's Sacred Will... Unbelievable."

"There's also my childhood friend up there. We're very familiar with each other, but I can't think of any reason why he would do something like this."

When such a situation occurred on the Sacred Will, almost all the personnel involved in the armed suppression were stunned.

"Quiet, soldiers," the lieutenant at arms said. "The commander has something to say."

A military inspector and an armed lieutenant stood in the middle of the assault boat.

"Remember, once you board the ship, any insurgents who are not wearing the military police insignia will be shot immediately upon discovery! I don't care if they are your friends or family.

From this moment on, they are all unforgivable sinners! Any sympathy is equivalent to betrayal!" The military supervisor shouted to the armed sailors in the cabin.

"Understood! Sir!"

"Let's go!" The armed lieutenant patted the cockpit.

The landing platform pushed the Shark assault boats onto the slide one by one.

puff!

The electromagnetic catapult track catapulted the assault boats into the void.
