When Soshyan said that he had drunk too much, Rozim just shrugged and replied indifferently:
"Drinking makes people cowardly. How dare I say these things without drinking a little. Anyway, no matter what others do, I only know one thing. My brother is Soshyan Alexey, and he is coming with me." To the battle group, I have experienced hundreds of years of ups and downs as brothers and sisters. That primarch is nothing compared to this. Besides, I don’t have gene seeds. Except for the tribal chief who has been buried in the earth for a long time, no one can Not even my father."
Without saying anything, Soshyan stretched out the cup, clinked it with Rozim, and drank it all in one gulp.
When he filled the two wine glasses again, the expression on his face became much more relaxed.
"Hey, that friend you mentioned should be brought on board too."
Hearing Soshyan's sudden words, Rozim was stunned for a moment, and then said with some guilt:
"No, can't you?"
"I didn't say no. Although you have been transformed, you are not considered a Space Marine. It's okay to start a family. I just don't know if you can have any offspring."
"It's still early. She just doesn't want to stay in Terra anymore, but I think there shouldn't be any problem with my function, right?"
Sosh laughed, an unburdened smile, and then joked:
"Let Valier check you out when you get back. Either do an operation or remove the original leg and install a prosthetic leg."
"Prosthetic limbs? Do they have these things over there!? It doesn't have anything to do with having a baby, right?"
"That's not necessarily true, come to think of it."
Soshyan touched his chin and thought for a moment, then moved his body slightly forward, pressed his elbows on the table, and said softly:
"Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be a father?"
"Ah, well, if it's a boy, I definitely won't let him become a space warrior. If he doesn't have this awareness, it depends on the girl. But raising cubs is really a science. Look at our emperor, then Wise and powerful, the result... right, I really know this matter by doing it myself. Isn't it that our emperor is unlucky because he was born without education? Twenty lottery tickets were drawn and the current result is like this."
"Well, I did it myself. It's true. I told you something. You should be careful with your mouth and don't tell the second person."
Seeing how mysterious Soshyan was, Rozim suddenly became curious and swore quickly.
"I'm absolutely rotten in my stomach."
"Veronica is pregnant."
"Well--"
Rozim frowned, scratched his head, and then said something.
"Brother, are you sure it's yours?"
Soshyan gave him a slap on the head.
"Nonsense, how could I not know that we are together every day?"
"Oh, oh, no, because of this, I haven't read many books, but I still know about reproductive isolation. You are not cross-species, that is, a fish and a motorcycle have a baby. "
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"The Astartes themselves are reproductively isolated from humans. They are still one species, barely on the same genetic chain. The Eldar are not on the genetic chain. I don't think there is any problem with this metaphor."
"That's what you say, but the fact is that it happened, and it is indeed my and Veronica's child that may be related to some of the things that happened in the middle. You still remember that I went to Comoros to find her, right?"
"Remember, I went there too."
"After rescuing her, we...we went to the ruins of an ancient race. It was there that I had sex with her for the first time. It should be related to this."
"Well, that's beyond the scope of my knowledge, but it's a good thing. Come on, have a drink."
With that said, the two clinked another drink.
"Our brother is the first Space Marine to have a daughter. What a memorable and proud thing!"
"Haha, hey, if I tell you, all the Astartes in the empire will come to kill me."
"What are you afraid of? The empire is so big and who can control so much. I really want to see what the Astartes and the Eldar can produce. You must inform me when the time comes."
"Then you'll have to wait. The Eldar's pregnancy lasts longer than a normal human's lifetime."
"Oh, this is really amazing. I once read a story book that said that the Sun Lord Macarius stayed in his mother's womb for three and a half years before he was born. He knew how to recite the theory of war as soon as he was born. I'm afraid your son is not the same. Are all ten Macarius powerful together? Hahaha, hey, speaking of it, since she is pregnant, she is not suitable to stay in the war group, right?"
"Well, I've made all the arrangements, don't worry about this."
"That's fine."
At this time, all the wine bottles had bottomed out. Soshyan shook the last wine in the glass and sighed:
"I really wish there could be more days like this, but that's the way it is. Whatever you get, you have to give up. There's no way, there's no way."
"Look at you, are you starting to feel depressed again? You drink to be happy - things will always work out."
"That's right, there's no point in thinking too much, just do what you think."
With that said, Soshyan drank the last bit of wine and stood up from the chair.
"Hey, yes, that's what it has to be. Just think about it this way."
Rozim also stood up.
"Just let the cleaning machine clean up here. You can go back and rest. The fleet will return in two days, and you will have to prepare the food for the soldiers on the ship."
But Rozim did not leave immediately. Instead, he approached Soshyan, touched his shoulder, and said with a mean smile:
"Hey, brother, since you have no problem in that regard, why don't you marry two more? You can have children with the spirit race, but wouldn't it be easier with humans? Don't you plan to have a few more? I heard that the Ebony Holy Grail Order It seems that an old nun has been replaced. The previous nun who was said to have immortal appearance has become a hermit and left the monastery. Could it be that-"
Soshyan pushed him away.
"Don't spread such rumors! Come back to me!"
"Oh oh oh."
On the third day after Rozim returned to the chapter fleet, Mars' work of awakening the battleships was basically completed. The main systems of the battleships had been revived, and the secondary systems could be slowly solved during the voyage. Since then, the three battleships have officially joined the star. In the fleet sequence of the World Knights, the two Mars-class battlecruisers were named [Son of Mars] and [Expedition Glory], and the Oberon-class battleship was named [Abyss Hunter].
After a long conversation with Li, the fleet of the Astral Knights officially left the airport on Mars and embarked on its return journey.
At this time, the Mantis Warriors also began to contact Terra. Both Li and Tirian had guaranteed that their wishes would be fulfilled as much as possible. Soshyan had no more worries. The Mantis Warriors stated that they Will go to the Storm Star Territory to visit the Astral Knight again.
Until the moment when the fleet jumped into the subspace node of the Gate of Bliss, Soshyan was still unable to determine whether this trip to Terra would change his destiny for good or bad——
