Chapter 352 05.0351: "Do you need to find a few female companions to inherit your bloodline?"
“I heard that you were born into a prominent family and that you carry the bloodline of the legendary Admiral Speyer of the Gothic War.
Your father, Thomas Cochrane, was known as the 'Sea Wolf' during his military service and was once promoted to the position of Chief Lord Colonel of the Gothic Fleet."
Sir Wellesley looked at the young man while holding his glass, and half introduced and half prepared him to tell him the information he knew, which caused the people around who had not yet deeply understood Horatio's life experience to exclaim in amazement.
"With your noble birth, your life should be smooth sailing. How could it be full of twists and turns? Look, aren't you a naval captain at the age of 18?" the knight asked curiously.
"You are right." Horatio raised his eyebrows.
“But that’s only part of my story, and the highlights and climax are always the most eye-catching.
However, most people who admire my achievements today don’t know that when I was eight years old, I fell into the lower nest of Abyss Harbor while traveling by plane due to a conspiracy of a heretic enemy. By chance, my secretary, Ms. Louise, who was still young at the time, successfully rescued me from the fire and saved me from death in the fire. ”
At this point, Horatio looked at Louise with nostalgia and gratitude, raised his glass in greeting, and clinked it with hers.
“But afterwards, I temporarily lost my memory due to the impact injury and had to fall into the lower nest. I grew up in the cult orphanage with difficulty, struggled in the gang fighting, and finally became a leader of the middle nest gang.
However, just when I had just taken a breath from the pressure of life and survival, I was framed with untrue charges due to the unexpected conspiracy and backstabbing of the cultists. The hive police arrested me without explanation and sentenced me to death. "
"Ugh!" Upon hearing this, the ladies immediately exclaimed.
Even Captain Anya Fasha looked shocked.
[Our air commander...was once a prisoner on death row in the Empire???]
She stared blankly at the handsome young naval officer with a respectable and elegant demeanor. She could not imagine him as the leader of the Zhongchao gang and a death row inmate.
"It was at this time that the Emperor's luck favored me again. On the day I was escorted to the Ministry of Justice and was about to be executed, I met Ms. Farida Hood."
He looked at the beautiful blonde military supervisor beside him and said with a smile.
Farida sat upright, and upon hearing that, she couldn't help but lower her military inspector's hat a little. She tried to keep a serious face, but she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth in happiness.
"This Ms. Farida Hood is the only daughter of General Alexander Hood of the Gothic Fleet in Abyss Port. At that time, she was not yet a military inspector, but just a hunting vigilante who assisted in escorting me." Horatio introduced to everyone present.
"Are you the daughter of Major General Hood? Nice to meet you!"
The wife of General Charles Cornwallis had obviously heard of the famous Hood family, and she raised her glass to toast in an elegant and polite manner.
"Nice to meet you, my lady. By the way, my father has been promoted to Vice Admiral of the White Flag Navy some time ago."
"My brother, William Cornwallis, also serves in the navy, and has long heard of Mr. Hood's name.
Your father and uncle have visited Britain many times to ensure the normal collection of the empire's tithes, and have also assisted Britain in thwarting many enemy invasions and alien threats.
Britain is grateful to your family. Without you, our royal family would not have survived until now." The Astra Militarum general, wearing a straight uniform and full of medals, stood up and saluted solemnly to the dignified and beautiful blonde female military supervisor.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally remained seated, nodded slightly, and accepted the British people's gratitude and praise on behalf of her father.
"With the help of the extremely clever Miss Hood and her female companion Miss Lina, I was able to clear my name and enroll in the Abridar Loyalty School as a loyal heir to the Imperial Navy.
There, the Imperial Navy carefully cultivated my body and mind, and thanks to General Alexander Hood's promotion, I became the chief of the newly established Hell Vanguard. "
Horatio then recounted everything that happened during the Festival of Sanguinius in Abyssal Harbor, how he killed the Space Marines with his own hands, and how he later joined forces with the Inquisitors of the Imperial Ordos, as well as the Blood Angels, Salamanders, Ultramarines and many other Emperor's Angels to defeat the Chaos Cult's joint conspiracy and save the Gothic Fleet.
The story of how he saved Abyssport from being purged by corrupt Inquisitors was told to everyone present in vivid, thrilling and fascinating language.
Those rich ladies had already been immersed in such an ups and downs and dramatic story. They leaned forward and were unaware that their two tender breasts in their bra binders were exposed.
When she heard something thrilling, she would use a handkerchief to cover her surprised face with her eyes wide open and her mouth open.
Not to mention those who had little experience in this area, even those Imperial Guard officers and generals who were already in their forties or fifties and could be considered to have experienced many battles looked at Horatio with expressions of disbelief when they heard these stories, as well as the stories of killing Space Marines with prosthetic limbs.
Horatio ended his story with his arrival at Farr. General Charles Cornwallis, who was still not satisfied, took the initiative to pick up the cup, smiled apologetically, and said:
"I must apologize, Mr. Cochrane. When Brigadier General Perroux introduced you to me, I doubted your ability because of your age.
"Well, as I get older, my vision of people has also declined. I didn't expect that you are such a young and promising person with extraordinary talents and abilities. With you, the future of the Imperial Navy will surely be promising." Not to mention the many celebrities who are in the upper circles of Britain, even the slow-witted Ogryn apes can probably see it clearly at this time.
Horatio's distinguished family background of generations of generals, and his brilliant record of serving in the Imperial Navy from his grandfather to his father, are enough to be a stepping stone for most promotion paths in the Empire. Coupled with his outstanding ability to be promoted to the rank of captain at this age, the future of this young man is bright.
Not to mention that he had helped the Inquisition and resolved a major incident that threatened the survival of the Gothic Fleet. He was also recognized as a saint by both the Holy Rose Battle Sisters and the State Church. Now he is shining on the battlefield of the expedition. What a promising future this boy has!
"You're too kind, General Cornwallis. I'm only fulfilling my duty to the God-Emperor, no different from the loyal followers of all of you here." Seeing the Astra Militarum general take the initiative to toast, Horatio quickly stood up and lowered his glass in a detailed manner.
When it comes to the art of courtesy and socializing, his skills are more than enough to handle the 40K drinking party.
"I propose that we drink to the health and bright future of Captain Horatio Cochrane."
The general looked at him with even greater satisfaction at receiving the humility and courtesy of the imperial genius, and then raised his glass and shouted to everyone present.
"Cheers to Captain Horatio Cochrane's health and bright future!" Everyone at the table raised their glasses to congratulate Horatio.
"I just wonder if Mr. Cochrane has a beautiful lady by his side now. You are young and strong, and it is time for you to find a beautiful lady by your side. If you don't mind, my sisterhood can still help you find a beautiful lady.
Even if you are already engaged, it doesn't matter. You are a commissioned officer of the Imperial Navy and the only heir of a meritorious admiral. The Imperial Ministry of the Interior is eager for you to marry more noble barons to inherit your bloodline." A noble lady asked with a smile after toasting.
As soon as these words were spoken, dozens of eyes from both men and women at the table stared at Horatio like hungry wolves.
“……” He blinked innocently, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
As expected, Farida's gaze towards him instantly turned cold, with a very murderous feeling of a Military Supervisor. Now he knew what kind of awe normal people had when they saw the Military Supervisor.
Then he glanced at Louise secretly. Even this usually capable and steady female soldier opened her eyes wide after hearing this, and her almond-shaped eyes glanced warily at the potential competitors of the right age present.
The female pilot, who was still in a semi-invisible state, observed the changes in the two people's eyes with great interest. After she understood the little secret of their relationship, the corners of her plump lips couldn't help but rise slightly.
“Thank you very much for your kindness, but at my age, it is a bit early to think about these things.
Now, I hope to focus on serving the will of the Divine Emperor, patrolling the starry sea for Him, and spreading His greatness and light to the more distant galaxy."
"Oh, as expected of you, the son of Admiral Speyer, your ideals are truly ambitious."
"It is so romantic to travel in the sea of stars for a great cause."
A group of ladies who were flirting with each other gave praises.
Amid the chatter of admiration and praise at the table, Sir Wellesley's aide-de-camp walked up to him quietly and whispered in his ear for a while.
He clapped his hands lightly, signaling everyone to be silent for the time being, cleared his throat and said:
"Everyone, I just received news that to celebrate our victory today, our noble Queen will personally broadcast a royal music in the evening and present a heroic song to all the soldiers."
Soon, several royal attendants carefully brought a set of gorgeously decorated holographic sound array system. The men and women at the table put away their previous relaxed demeanor, sat up straight, and turned to face the woman on the holographic image.
Horatio turned his head and saw that the holographic projection showed a tall, luxuriously dressed young woman with a swan-like neck and clothes of the same color as the British soldiers' uniforms.
But the decoration was more exaggerated, quite royal style, scarlet velvet off-shoulder long dress. It was embellished with complicated jewels, and the tacky jewels did not add a bit of vulgarity, but made her more graceful and dignified.
Although she was obviously dressed up and fully made up, Horatio could sense her youthfulness from her tight, delicate skin around her eyes and some of her small movements.
Horatio could tell that the queen was no more than twenty years old, and the clear female voice she spoke confirmed his thoughts.
