Chapter 285 The Rise of the Primarch: The Feast Before the Great War
The first dining hall of the Infinite Frontier was full of people, and the cheerful naval crew and marines held a grand banquet here, with food and wine placed on long tables.
The fine wine is foamed with every clink of glasses, and the delicious food is packed in plates, cut up with knives and forks, and swallowed by happy sailors, and the men and women on board are all laughing around the long table. and celebrating.
Vito walked from the edge of the hall, he leaned against the wall to avoid those celebrating guys, singing and laughter echoed throughout the hall one after another.
Vito even saw a person directly climbed onto the table, spinning and singing while holding a drink on it, part of the drink was spilled with every turn of him, but he obviously didn't notice that he hadn't taken a few sips yet, the glass The wine is almost gone.
He took the lead in singing a song that is very characteristic of low-level naval crew members. I mean, it is full of dirty jokes, swear words, and the kind of song that ridicules the military officer. It has a wild beauty.
In the past, their officers would definitely yell, take him off and whip him with a belt, but now, Vito can see that those officers are also carnivaling with the crew, and they are also fighting with their own men We sang the joyful ballads together, each of which could probably violate more than a dozen naval regulations.
Vito walked quietly past the side with a smile. He walked past the carnival crowd against the wall and walked to the cafeteria bar. Many middle-class residents of the empire's hive capitals will leave their mouths moved.
Vito looked at the plates of food on the glass table with his hands behind his back, especially carefully looked at a piece of meat leg, which was the thigh of a whole Grox beast, which had been carefully cooked and turned into a It has become a delicacy with complete color, fragrance and taste.
A navy sailor cut off a piece of meat with a bayonet inserted on the chopping board from Vito's side. He threw it on his tray, inserted the sharp broad-bladed bayonet on the chopping board with his backhand, and happily He left with a large piece of meat.
"I said Mario, you did a pretty good job with this feast." Vito looked at the chef in the window with a smile, and Mario, who was wearing a white high chef's hat, walked up with a smile He patted his wide chef's cuffs, and slashed a kitchen knife enough to kill a Tyranid knife bug on the cutting board at hand.
"That is, how can I say that I used to cook for the governor of the planet, but the ingredients you "confiscated" this time are quite good. After such a big meal, we still have a whole warehouse of ingredients in the back kitchen."
The curvy horn beard on Mario's mouth trembled with his smile, and Vito smiled happily when he saw him, and picked up a small tomato from the small fruit plate on the side. The Emperor testified, this is the real thing. The fruits are not synthetic garbage that taste like rubber.
"Then let everyone have a good meal. We are going to fight a big battle soon. You can make everyone eat and drink enough to die for the emperor, right?"
"Of course, I swear on the honor of the Mario family, I will not let the garbage from other imperial navy canteens appear on our table!"
Mario patted his broad chest and said, his arms were as thick as cannonballs, so don't look at him as just the chef on the Infinite Frontier.
Vito clearly remembers that during the Battle of Valis, when the jumping gang of green-skinned pirates swarmed onto the Infinity Frontier, Mario saw a green-skinned pirate rudely knocking over the French platter he had prepared. Cursed, "This is painted stew! You alien barbarian!"
Then he directly cursed and rushed forward and strangled the green skin boy to death, that's right, he strangled a green skin boy to death.
He, like everyone else on the ship, looks ordinary and unthreatening, but he can always find something for you suddenly, and then give you a big surprise.
Vito smiled and raised a glass of champagne, "Then I wish you luck, Chef, don't let everyone down."
"In the name of the Emperor, I, Mario, the gourmet master will never miss!" Mario said, waving his fingers and shouting, his goatee bobbing up and down with the movement of his lips, and he turned his head to look away Somewhere, fingers waved violently in front of him.
"Mamma Mia! Luigi! That's onion soup, what do you think you're doing?!" Mario said, gesticulating and yelling, walking towards the kitchen, well, as always, the crew of the Infinite Frontier can eat On to the real food.
Vito heard his playful accent and left waving his hands. He took the wine glass and walked to the edge of the canteen, far away from a table celebrating the crew. There was already one person sitting here.
"Cole, how's your food?" Vito smiled and stepped over the bench fixed to the table, sat down at the table, smiled and toasted Cole who was sitting opposite. After glancing at Vito, the carnival sailors sighed helplessly.
"Look at them, how dignified they are, in the name of the Emperor, the Imperial Navy is almost ashamed by them." Cole spoke speechlessly, using a fork to fork a small piece of meat sausage on the tray in front of him. A bite that could be called decent and elegant.
"Okay, don't be so boring, they just won a battle in Macragge, and then they are going to Terra to fight with the whole Black Fleet, I think everyone should eat and drink well, and then relax, Nothing."
Vito took a sip of the champagne as he spoke, the rich aroma of the wine made Vito look happy, he shook the glass in his hand and looked at the amber wine in it, "This champagne is not bad, I knew that Captain George and the others Definitely a good idea to have your warehouse confiscated."
Yes, yes, there are more than just weapons on the Mayflower, and that would only be a one-off deal, which is not worth it, so those cunning rogues also packed refrigerated food, wine and more Good thing, transport these exotic delicacies to the other side of the galaxy to sell them.
After all, things are rare and expensive. Although they are not worth a lot in the place of origin of these things, in other parts of the galaxy, these things are rare exotic treasures. These merchants just change hands and buy them. Sell at several times, or even dozens of times, the original price to make huge profits.
But their plan to make a fortune died before they started, because Vito confiscated these "illegal smuggled goods", and now they are being destroyed.
He took another sip of wine and smiled happily, "Also, in ancient Terra, this is also a tradition. Whenever a batch of good things is intercepted, the captain will hold a banquet on the deck, and follow his Crew, let's sing and dance and raise our glasses."
"If I remember correctly, Vito, the tradition you mentioned belongs to pirates." Cole said speechlessly, and Vito shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"It's no big deal. Pirates also sail, and we sail too. Let's learn from it, and it will be very helpful for morale."
"Vito, do you know that you have violated seven or eight laws of the empire in such a short sentence just now? Not to mention the military laws of the navy."
"Then let me ask you who wrote those military codes?" Vito was drinking, and Wei Wei turned his head and looked at Cole with a smile on his face. The latter rolled his eyes and swallowed a broccoli into his mouth. inside.
"you."
"Isn't that right? The author himself thinks it's okay, why are you so excited? Don't be like the Ultramarines, and implement the holy scriptures written by Guilliman word by word, according to the literal meaning."
Vito looked around with his eyes, he seemed to be looking for something in the noisy hall, "Speaking of Ultramarines, what about Bell and the others? Why didn't you see them in this kind of feast?"
"Commander Eisenstein is as dissatisfied with this as I am, but because you ordered it to be held, he is no longer strongly opposed, but he chose to protest in another way."
"The kind?"
"He took Bell and Loken to the lower deck to patrol, it can be regarded as a non-violent non-cooperative protest."
Vito burst out laughing, he slapped the table with a laugh, "Dorn's son is still stubborn and obedient, I guess he didn't ask Bell and Loken if they want to have a big meal, right?"
"I guess so, but I think they probably don't care too much. After all, Ragnar and Lancelot are not on board, and they are the loyal supporters of the banquet." Cole continued to eat the food in front of him. Food, although there are various objections to this banquet, but good things should be eaten, and they must be eaten.
"Indeed, if Ragnar was here, the banquet would definitely be more lively. What a pity, let's do it again when he comes back." Vito said leisurely, shaking his glass, and he took a sip of champagne, expressing a meaningful He snorted softly.
"Where's Kaur and Omega? They didn't come either?"
"The two members of the Mechanicus, I think they may not have much need for food. Seriously, can they digest it after eating it?"
It was not Cole who answered Vito, but Anna with long fiery red hair who was enthusiastic. She sat next to Cole with a plate. She winked at Cole, who also smiled and nodded to her. .
"How do the Mechanicians eat? Drink gasoline?" Anna looked at Cole and asked, who shrugged after thinking for a while.
"It may also be charging. Speaking of which, I really haven't noticed how or what Omega eats."
Vito looked at the raised eyebrows of the two people in front of him, he looked left and right, took a sip of wine in embarrassment, well, now he knows that when he and Lilith are together on weekdays, the bystanders are What do you feel?
Suddenly, Anna seemed to realize that they had left Vito aside. She smiled and looked at Vito with her chin up, that smile was full of mischief.
"Speaking of which, I've always been curious. While you're dating Judge Lilith, you're having an affair with Miss Living Saint, and it looks like you've known Miss Living Saint a long time ago. So, who do you give Green?"
"Okay, I won't be with you two anymore. Let me go." After thinking for a while, Vito decided to get up and run away. Anna rested her chin and looked at Vito who got up and left jokingly.
Cole beside her also looked at Vito who was leaving, and looked at Anna who was hesitant to speak, and the latter smiled happily and inserted a small fruit from the plate, "I knew this trick would work, Now, the unrelated people have left."
Anna turned her head and winked at Cole, with a red tomato sticking to her rosy lips, "Then shall we continue?"
