Chapter 92 02.0092: "One-to-Many Victory"

After being severely damaged, the attack ships that fled the battlefield fled in a panic towards the dark shadows of the void.

The moment it drove into the intersection of light and shadow, it turned into a ball of brilliant fireworks.

Horatio saw the collision.

The deep red rectangular bow emerged from the darkness, pushing the wreckage of the attack ship to the sides.

The huge shadow blocked the light, giving people a creepy feeling of depression.

This extremely large crimson void monster has a solemn and strange shape, with a strange beauty, and a huge mechanical skull engraved on its bow.

[A... mechanical ark, coming from the direction of Abyssal Port.]
[+I am the Great Sage Cambrius, the forging master stationed in the Abyss Port on Mars. I have received your signal requesting reinforcements+]

A holographic image was projected in front of Horatio. It was a Grand Sage of the Mechanicus who had been transformed beyond all recognition. He had a face shaped like a gas mask. His Grand Sage's vestments were far more gorgeous than those of the Tech-Priest Lati, and his domineering Axe of Mechanicus was enormous.

Horatio had some impression that the great sage Cambrius, who had been working hard for the fleet since the Gothic War, seemed to be going to Lucius Agrippina to attend a casting research conference and happened to pass by here.

Seeing that its entire army was annihilated, the slave ship, which had been beaten so badly by Horatio that it could no longer fight, limped away like an unbalanced lame man and tried to escape.

Suddenly a plasma cloud erupted from the void, paralyzing its engines.

It was a static field shell fired by the Nova Cannon.

Finally, the slave ship, unable to escape or fight, sent a signal of surrender to Horatio.

[+The Imperial Navy salutes you, Great Sage Cambrius, thank you for your support, we can handle the rest ourselves+] Horatio saluted him, the Great Sage nodded and cut off the communication.

Louise fought with the invading enemy with the Cadia Assault Chainsword in hand. She moved swiftly and attacked fiercely. Blood splattered on her void blue cape, staining it black.

The huge damage caused by the chainsaw and the countless broken limbs made the pirates who rushed forward scream and run back in panic.

Under the front and rear attacks of the sailors who returned to support the bridge, the remaining pirates surrendered.

After Captain Sterling had his men tie them up into a long string, he kicked them into the void and watched them struggle to death from lack of oxygen.

He was like a mysophobe and couldn't stand these bugs stepping onto the Imperial Navy's warships.

The bridge was covered in blood, but the tenacious naval fighters blocked the pirates' attack and no cadets or officers were injured or killed.

“We actually did it.”

“We Are Victorious!”

"God, I was so scared. I thought I would die here today!"

The students discussed in disbelief.

Fully armed, Louise stepped on the pile of corpses that blocked Passage 3. The cloak on her armor was like a fluttering flag hanging high. She looked at Horatio, and the black-haired young man nodded to her.

His head and face were glistening with sweat, and the back of his uniform was completely soaked.

Horatio broke the neuralgia, took a deep breath, and staggered down.

The hard work and fatigue of commanding the battleship and connecting the battleship's machine soul made him eager to have a good sleep.

The students looked at him with admiration. He straightened his body, put on his bicorne hat, and showed his best condition.

"Hail Captain Horatio Cochrane! We are victorious!"

"victory!"

"Long live the God-Emperor! Long live Horatio!"

The students threw their hats into the air and cheered at Horatio.

The excited and enthusiastic students carried him down, lifted him high, threw him into the air enthusiastically, and then caught him. Sleepy Horatio smiled, pinched his bicorne, and let these excited students toss him around.

Louise looked at him and smiled, then joined in the tossing.

This was the first time that this group of new naval recruits had won a serious naval battle, and they were outnumbered.

"This new blood is very brave and resourceful. His future cannot be underestimated." A captain walked up to Captain Sterling and said.

"He is the descendant of Admiral Speyer, right?"

"He will definitely be an outstanding captain in the future."

"He has courage, strategy, and most importantly..."

Captain Sterling looked at Horatio and said, "He always makes people see infinite possibilities and makes people feel that there is hope with him."

Horatio slept soundly in the largest bedroom and the most comfortable bed. Under the arrangement of Captain Sterling, the ship's chef carefully prepared a meal for him to replenish his energy using the captured supplies.

The Q-ship slowly returned to Abyss Port, towing the two trophies.

The Imperial Navy ruthlessly hanged the slave ship owner who had the audacity to attack the naval ship in public in the square. A naval supervisor kicked him off the platform and cut his neck with a rope, separating his head and body on the spot, with blood gushing out like a fountain.

The slave traders and pirates on the slave ships were either transformed into servitors or taken to the Imperial Navy as indentured laborers. They would spend the rest of their lives serving the Emperor in this way and atone for their sins.

The captured Imperial citizens were re-registered at Abyssal Port and sent aboard a colony ship to colonize a newly discovered Imperial world.

The arms smuggled from Lucius were seized by the Imperial Navy. After conversion, Horatio received a considerable amount of "hunting bounty" dividends, which were deposited into his personal salary account. He took a look and saw that there were as much as 10 million.

In addition, Horatio also received a reward of 250 academic points based on front-line combat, as well as an Imperial Navy's "Rising Star Medal", which was used to reward those naval cadets who took over the command of the ship during the battle and finally returned triumphantly.

This is an extremely rare honor. Most cadets never have the opportunity to command a ship alone, unless all the officers are killed. Usually, when this happens, it is not long before the ship is abandoned.

And once they become officers, they will no longer be able to receive this medal.

Horatio thanked Captain Sterling who was scolded by Brigadier General Edward. The captain was scolded because it was too risky to do so and he would not know how to explain if anything went wrong.

The captain just smiled indifferently and said that he wanted to see if there was a disconnect between Horatio's theoretical level and practical level. So he was bolder than Commodore Edward and directly let Horatio try to command an entire ship.

Brigadier General Edward was worried and happy at the same time. Seeing that Horatio was fine and had returned triumphantly, he just gave Captain Sterling a reprimand on the surface, but did not punish him according to military regulations.
-
Yin Shuyao and her father moved into the "Workers' Club" as scheduled.

Because the environment inside the restaurant is good and there are spacious private rooms, people of all kinds and with complex identities often come here to drink and dine.

While delivering the food, she consciously eavesdropped on what the guests were talking about, but no one would have thought that such a girl would be involved with someone from the Fleet Military Intelligence Command.

The recent weather was as dull as the night before a rainstorm, and she had heard many strange and scary things.

For example, a large number of fresh human skeletons appeared, with signs of being gnawed on them; a war broke out among the Xiachao gangs, and a gang called the Howling Tooth Gang conquered Xiachao, etc.

She even heard rumors of terrorist attacks.

She recorded all of this, and then the half-cat girl would appear in the lobby in a cloak after closing time, taking the information and the account books she had sorted out from her.

The half-cat girl Yoyo wore the anti-thermal detection cloak prepared for her by Horatio, and with her excellent skills, she flew over eaves and walls and shuttled deeper underground.

In her hands was the news the girl had heard, as well as the information from spies and informants compiled by Deacon Jonathan and collected by the underground intelligence station.

She was Horatio's scout, responsible for verifying the authenticity of threats and intelligence, and then asked Yin Shuyao, who knew grammar, to help her make a concise and powerful written summary report, which would then be hidden in the place agreed upon by her and Horatio.

He wouldn't say when he would come to pick it up. To her, her boss was very busy and was always out of sight, but the information she passed on always reached him in time.

They didn't know what was going to happen next, but it was obviously not good.
