Chapter 537 06.0536: ‘Short vacation’

"Now I believe it's not a dream."

"Yeah." She lowered her head shyly and smiled slightly.

call out! call out! call out!

Sudden and piercing roars to the sky broke the silence.

Arabella was startled, and her first reaction was to look at Horatio, who had a calm face. Then she raised her head with him and watched several dragon-like flying fires leaping into the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, lighting up the black night sky and covering the stars.

The sparks were reflected in the calm lake water, and the huge unicorn dragon rushed out of the water and leaped tens of meters into the air, as if chasing fireworks in the sky.

This scene is nothing short of astonishing.

Arabella's eyes sparkled with ripples.

The extremely gorgeous fireworks made her cover her mouth in surprise, and she was silent for a while before saying:

"This is so beautiful. I think this one word is better than thousands of gorgeous words. It is more emotional and artistic than the natural scenery you see when climbing during the day."

"Do you feel better?"

"Well, this is my first time traveling with someone else, and I'm still a man. Thank you for letting me experience such a beautiful moment in the world." She nodded slightly, and his hand tightened.

The lotus lanterns float in the lake, finding a trace of tranquility. In this romantic fireworks and festive atmosphere, it is difficult not to feel a trace of emotion in the hearts of lonely men and widows.

The two didn't say anything, but there seemed to be a force pushing the man and woman together. Their bodies got closer and closer, and their lips and teeth also moved closer to each other.

The moment their lips touched each other.

Didi! Didi!

The communication beads between the two of them rang in unison.

Sister Arabella wanted to leave, but Horatio hugged her, letting the softness and warmth between his lips and teeth last for a few seconds, and then reluctantly let go.

After a brief moment of tenderness, Sister Arabella shyly pursed her upper and lower lips before taking out her rosary beads.

"I'm sorry, Captain, to disturb you so late."

"It doesn't matter. Please tell me, Judge Thei. How can I help you?"

"To be honest, I originally wanted to talk to you today about the mission that Brother Korchagin and I had, but because there are serious problems on the planet Basol that I need to deal with, I have to go to Basol first. So. I have already left China."

"Basol? Is this the planet that the Cathay Triumphant Army we escorted captured?"

"Yes, serious anti-imperial riots have occurred above. Rebellions, riots and attacks have occurred one after another. As the nearest inquisitor, I must deal with this matter and eliminate future troubles."

Horatio looked at Sister Arabella. She also had a solemn face and frowned.

"Yes, I understand. I will lead the evangelism team to Bashor immediately."

When she looked at Horatio, her eyes were filled with apology.

"What's the matter, Sister Arabella?"

"Members of the Anglican Mission were killed by the rebels in Basor, and total martial law began in Basor. The armed nuns would intervene and carry out armed preaching."

"Are you there too?"

"Yes, Captain. I may have to perform a mission before boarding your battleship."

"I'll go with you." Horatio said without hesitation.

"This is not your mission. You are on vacation right now."

"The vacation is over." He straightened his collar and buttoned the top button, immediately changing from a casual attitude to a serious military one.

At this moment, the lotus lantern has also docked.

He stood up, looked at Sister Arabella, and pulled her up from the soft seat: "The mission is calling us."

——

Cathay Orbital Dock - Imperial Navy Ship Anchorage.

Seeing the young heroic naval lieutenant colonel who was wearing a straight military uniform and a colonel's epaulette with more lush and complicated tassels on his right shoulder, the sentry on guard stepped forward to salute, and the waiter opened the door and raised his head to salute him with attention.

Horatio, wearing long black military boots, strode into the Naval Officers Club at the anchorage and climbed the stairs with small steps.

Above, several naval officers and alternate officers were sitting together playing cards and regicide to pass the boring night shift.

First mate Archie Cuthbert Collingwood was the first to notice Horatio and immediately stood up from his chess position to salute.

"captain!"

Horatio returned the greeting as he walked away.

The other officers nearby, Leidos, Harvey, Fidio, and David Betty, all saluted the captain.

"Congratulations on your promotion! Captain!" they shouted happily and with a hint of booing.

"I'm going to Bashor."

"Basol? Isn't that place occupied by the Triumphal Army of Cathay?"

"Something's wrong. I'm escorting the armed missionary group of the Sisters of the Holy Rosary to that location."

"But Captain, the Epic has left Cathay and is preparing to go to Konnor for upgrades."

"Don't worry, Colonel Elphinstone will take us there with a light cruiser. You will be responsible for recruiting the crew quota in Cathay. The comprehensive quality and level of the Cathayans are the best in the entire human empire. One of the best, recruiting crew members here will do no harm to improving the overall quality of the crew.

Archie, this task will mainly be left to you. "

"No problem! Captain, I promise to complete the mission."

Horatio nodded and called into the dining room: "Louise!"

Hearing Horatio's voice, Louise quickly put down the spoon that cut into the soft Aurora sponge cake, quickly swallowed the sponge cake in her mouth, quickly wiped off the remaining pastry traces at the corners of her mouth, stood up and strode out of the restaurant, saluted Horatio in front of everyone and said: "Captain, Lieutenant Louise reports to you!"

"Louise, we are going to Aurora together, you are responsible for leading an armed force to follow me."

"Understood! Captain, I will prepare immediately, where are we going?" Although this sudden mission made people a little confused, as a professional officer of the Empire, obeying orders was her unwavering answer.

"Barthol, Inquisitor Thei is on duty there, and Sister Arabella is also going there to preach armed missions. As their close comrades, we can't be idle either. They will need us and our armed forces."

"Yes! Captain!"

Louise immediately ran downstairs and went to the armed forces stationed at the port to mobilize and assemble.

"So, we are going to mobilize the navy to the land of Basor?"

"That's right. Sister Arabella is one of us now, and as the captain I am responsible for her safety."

Horatio took a glass of wine from the servant and drank it all, then slammed the glass on the table:

"There is a serious riot in Basor, and martial law is being imposed. This is no longer an ordinary rebel! We must strike hard!"
