Chapter 127 "Young Master Wayne"
Chapter 127 "Young Master Wayne"
After the war in the world of Arrasan came to an end, Russell began his journey home. He wanted to return to the 357th Regiment to continue serving as a lieutenant. He did not want to evade his duties and destiny any longer. After several months, Russell finally found the location of the 357th Regiment through the Ministry of Military Affairs.
The Astral Army always has endless battles and missions to complete. Upon his return, Russell immediately took on a mission with his good friend Cayenne.
Russell sat aboard the Thunderhawk gunboat, which carried a total of one hundred Cadian commandos, the elite of the elite, including Captain Cayans and Lieutenant Russell.
"Promise me, let us dedicate ourselves to the Empire!" Although a long time has passed, Russell still recalls Sigismund's words from time to time.
Many of the commandos here are new recruits; they've only heard of Russell's name but have never met him in person.
Rumor has it that their lieutenant is an extremely brave fellow, and people privately call him "Brave" Russell. The shock he felt after actually meeting him was quite significant.
There are several incredible things about Russell. First, his physique is incredible: a height of 213 cm, an exaggerated body width, and exaggerated muscles. It would take three Star Guardians combined to equal Russell's body width.
Another incredible thing is the weapons he carries: a beautifully designed explosive pistol, a power axe that flashes blue light, a huge black entrenching tool, and another gorgeously designed laser gun.
Ordinary Star Guardians would never carry such a weapon, which is why Russell is always a source of great curiosity.
The other commandos' eyes kept unconsciously drawn to Russell, but Russell was already used to their stares.
“I don’t think your tactical armor suits you very well?” Kayans said.
Russell looked down and said: "It's too small, it's very uncomfortable to wear."
Kayan scratched his head and said: This is already the largest tactical armor that the military affairs department can provide. You are really too strong.
Russell smiled and stopped talking, instead fiddling with his fire unicorn.
"Captain, what mission are we going to do this time?" a commando asked curiously.
Kayan thought for a moment and said: You don't need to know now. I will tell you when we get there.
Although Kayans was not going to join the other commandos, he spoke to Russell and said: "It's strange, why does the Ministry of Military Affairs want us to protect that nobleman?"
Russell didn't know what the mission was either. Hearing that they were to protect someone, he frowned and said, "Protect a nobleman? Is that really something we're supposed to do?"
Kayans said helplessly: I heard that this is the decision of the military affairs department. Regardless of whether it should be done or not, all we have to do is obey orders.
Although somewhat reluctant, Russell could only say helplessly: Okay!
The Thunderhawk gunship flew over hive worlds of all sizes before landing on top of a hive tower.
Several attendants were waiting below after Cayenne and Russell disembarked from the Thunderhawk gunboat.
An older servant walked over and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, is this Lord Cayans?"
Kayans quickly replied: "I am Lieutenant Kayans, and you are?"
"I am a humble servant, and I welcome you, sirs," the servant said modestly.
Kayan nodded and said: "You're welcome. We were sent by the Military Affairs Department. May I ask where 'Young Master Wayne' is?"
The attendant hurriedly said, "Young Master Wayne is waiting for you..." As he spoke, the attendant's gaze fell on Russell behind Cayenne, who surprised him so much that he couldn't speak properly.
Kayans turned and glanced at Russell, saying, "This is Lieutenant Russell."
Russell simply nodded.
The attendant hurriedly said, "So it's the esteemed Lieutenant! You look so strong, sir!" He complimented unconsciously.
Russell smiled but didn't say anything.
"With the protection of adults like you, young master Wayne will be safe," the attendant said, then led Cayans and the others to the top floor of the hive.
From the outside, it didn't look like anything special. But after they passed through the narrow passage, a luxurious house appeared before them, with squads of guards inside, vigilantly observing everything.
After the attendant and the captain of the guard exchanged a few words, the captain of the guard glanced at the Astral Army with a look full of hostility, but he still made way for the assault team to enter.
As Russell passed the captain of the guard, he glanced at him and Russell felt that there was definitely something wrong with this guy.
Soon they were in an extremely luxurious room. "Young Master Wayne."
This young master Wayne looked to be only a teenager, with fair skin and a well-fitting black suit—a typical aristocratic young master.
This was the first time Lord Wayne had seen the Star Guardians, and he appeared somewhat fearful, hiding behind his attendants.
Kayan quickly stepped forward and introduced: "Young Master Wayne, we are here to protect you. We are the 357th Cadia Commando Regiment. This is Lieutenant Russell behind me."
Young Master Wayne looked at Russell curiously and asked: What did you eat to grow so strong?
Russell smiled and said: You can't get strong just by eating; you also need to exercise.
Have you ever fought in a war?
Russell nodded and said: "I've fought countless battles."
"Is there any enemy who can defeat you?"
Russell smiled wryly: "Too many."
Are they all as strong as you?
"They are much stronger than me."
Young Master Wayne looked up at the servant and asked, "Is what he said true?"
The attendant smiled and said, "What this gentleman says is true; many of our enemies are also very strong."
Kayans noticed that this young master Wayne was very interested in Russell and continued: "Young master Wayne, if you like Lieutenant Russell, how about having him as your personal bodyguard?"
Upon hearing this, young Master Wayne appeared very happy and said: That's great.
Russell gave Kayans a disapproving look, but Kayans just waved his hand dismissively.
“Lieutenant Russell, you talk to Master Wayne for a bit. We need to go out and discuss something,” Cayans called the servant out.
At this point, only Master Wayne and Russell remained in the room.
“Lieutenant Russell, are you tired of standing? If you are, you can sit down and rest for a while,” Young Master Wayne said to Russell.
Russell smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Wayne. I'm not tired yet. I'll sit down when I'm tired."
Young Master Wayne sat on the sofa, watching Russell with great interest.
"Why is that axe glowing?" Young Master Wayne asked curiously.
Russell looked down at the power axe and said, "This is a power weapon. These blue lights are its disintegration field, which can enhance its power."
"What's this shovel for?" Young Master Wayne found the large shovel quite interesting again.
"This is an entrenching tool, which is very useful on the battlefield."
