Alyona Anastasia always thought that it was an honor to be able to board the Revenge and become a member of the expedition. But she would never have imagined the scene before her.

"First of all, what I want to say is, Captain Alyona - you and your Frostwolf have performed perfectly in these wars, large and small."

The man in black robe said this with a mean smile on his pale face. But Alyona was not angry about it. Firstly, she knew that this gentleman would not laugh at her. Secondly, this smile appeared on

There seemed to be a sense of justice on his face.

It was as if he had to smile like this. Just like Fenris people had to help each other to survive the change of seasons.

"Captain Rudolf was right in his assessment of you. You are indeed suitable for rapid reaction operations. I must admit, this surprised me. The Frostwolf is a Retribution-class battleship, and you can actually drive it so fast.

..."

Leman Russ, who was standing behind the man in black robe, blinked at her. The look in the Wolf King's eyes made Alyona's reason quickly come online - she immediately lowered her head: "It's the credit of the helmsmen, I just said

Order."

"Ruth, if you keep winking at her behind my back, then I'm afraid I'll have to ask you out. There must be a limit to the protection of shortcomings. I just came to her to ask some questions. You came over in a hurry and insisted on asking.

It’s just a matter of joining in this conversation, but she’s not even willing to let her speak for herself, so what’s going on?”

The mage said this without looking back. Russ smiled sarcastically: "Captain, Alyona is a typical Fenrisian - I mean, she doesn't know how to speak. Right, Alyona?"

"Ah? Ah, yes! I-I'm not very good at talking."

"..."

The mage didn't say anything else this time, he just sighed.

"I didn't plan to ask her about that, Russ. I'm not interested in 'mutual help' between you Fenrisians. In fact, if anyone really wants to investigate this matter, it shouldn't be me."

He turned his head, and the smile on his face disappeared, leaving only calm. The pale face formed a simple and direct contrast with the pair of dark eyes, and Alyona felt a tremor for no reason - in this moment

In an instant, her reason and courage almost collapsed.

Everything was gone, even her memory. They peeled off quickly and directly, as if they were escaping instinctively, like flickering flames screaming away from the overwhelming flood.

Trembling - unavoidable trembling.

Then, in the next second, they were back again.

Just because the mage averted his eyes.

The focus of his eyes fell behind Alyona. She didn't know what was there, but she inevitably breathed a sigh of relief.

"Back to the topic, Captain Alyona, I admire your talent and ability in rapid response operations. Therefore, I have a task to give you. I will explain the specific situation to you, and you can evaluate it yourself.

Accept it or not - I'll say it again, this is not an order, got it?"

"Ming, I understand."

Alyona stammered, even shrinking a little. She was deeply ashamed of this, and there was a burst of anger from the bottom of her heart. She didn't know why she was like this, and at this moment, Leman Russ'

The gaze gave her a supportive force.

The Wolf King looked at her silently, without saying a word. At this moment, the biting cold wind on Fenris blew against her face, causing her to wake up in an instant.

Now, she vaguely guessed why Ruth must be involved in this conversation.

"According to the speed of the Revenge, we will rendezvous with the Holy Ring in two hours. However, judging from some phenomenon that I cannot explain to you in detail... I am afraid that the Holy Ring is already dangerous.

Duojishao, I need you and the Frostwolf to investigate their specific situation before docking."

"The Space Wolves will cooperate with you. There is a tacit understanding between you."

He gave a meaningful smile: "...and this tacit understanding should be able to help you. That's the way it is, Captain Alyona, are you willing to accept it?"

"I accept." Alyona performed the aquila salute, and her words and movements were almost completed at the same time. She did not hesitate at all. "The Frostwolf will definitely live up to your expectations -"

"—I have no expectations, Captain Alyona."

The mage shook his head: "I don't expect you to risk your life to complete the mission, nor do I want you to do anything dangerous for this mission that is not a mission. This is just a simple exploration mission, and it is my personal request, not

It's a formal order."

"But......"

Alyona's expression looked extremely confused. Her face flushed, and her former rationality and language skills were passively stripped away by the upwelling emotions. Suddenly, she seemed to be the orphan shivering in the cold wind again.

.Hopefully someone can lend a helping hand to her.

"Don't you - I mean, Emperor, you...how could we disappoint you?"

"Your safe return is my greatest hope." The assistant said so softly. At the same time, he looked directly at Alyona again. But this time, she did not feel trembling.

Leman Russ grinned and slowly showed a smile.

----------------------------------------

"Ah, it feels so good to be back again!"

Finn, the young gray hunter said this while standing in the bottom hangar of the Frostwolf, and howled twice with excitement. Several of the crew members who were passing by seemed to know him, and a man who was carrying cargo laughed.

: "Finn!"

"Old Werther! You're not dead yet!" Finn ran over in three steps, grinning. "I'm so happy!"

The man known as Old Werther was casually draped in a navy uniform, exposing his hairy chest. The rank mark representing a noncommissioned officer was swaying on his right shoulder. Hearing Finn's words, he bared his teeth: "What kind of greeting are you talking about?

None of the sea monsters awakened in the Fenris Sea in winter are as unpleasant as your words!"

"Okay! Isn't that all I am? You still don't know me well?"

Finn hugged him with a smile, and shook Old Werther's shoulders a few times with evil intentions. The latter almost dropped the box he was carrying on the ground. He hurriedly steadied himself while sneaking towards him.

I took a look around.

The young gray hunter raised his eyebrows: "Is this a bar over here? Why do you dare to secretly transport alcohol? Didn't you learn enough from Alyona last time?"

Old Witte glared at this guy, showing no respect for Astartes: "You have nothing to do with it. As I said before, I was punished and demoted to sergeant the last time I stood up for you. This reconnaissance mission

This is a hard-won opportunity, so don’t think about it this time for you and your brothers - wait, how did you upgrade?!"

Facing his shocked look, Finn smiled maliciously and tugged at the fur wrapped around the land-based Titan.

"You can't believe it? Old guy, I'm a gray hunter now..."

Old Werther pushed him away and left cursing. Finn laughed heartlessly behind him - it was not like he had gone all the way to the bottom hangar to find Old Werther.

The group of mortals who had fought alongside Finn of the Bloodclaw back then were already dead. Alena was one, and then there was Old Werther, a veteran who was 'notorious' in the Frostwolf.

He is a drunkard, ignores military discipline, often disobeys the orders of his superiors, and prefers to act according to his own intuition when fighting.

This is also the reason why he was demoted all the way to this level. And he has not been executed yet, naturally because his intuition is not bad.

Finn's thoughts gradually drifted away, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. His muscles relaxed, and he stood expressionlessly in the hangar on the ground floor. The voice of his wolf master Crom Longsight sounded on the communication channel: "Finn

Well, come back to the bridge, the Frostwolf has already set off."

"I understand." The young gray hunter replied in a low voice, alone.

Crom Longsight hung up the communication and nodded to Logan Grimnar: "He will be back soon - but, I don't understand, why are you so concerned about a little brat?"

"Aren't you also very interested in him? Teach him step by step how to fight...As for the reason why I do this, can't you guess?"

"I can guess it, but I don't want him to get involved." Crom Longshi replied expressionlessly. "The relationship between Alyona and us is purely mutual help. There is no need to let this person get involved."

Relationships become political considerations..."

Logan Grimnar gave him an annoyed look.

"This matter had already turned into a political incident the moment those Blood Claws kidnapped the commissioners of the Ministry of Affairs back to Fenris. I don't want to make a fuss about it, but that's the fact - according to Russ, the regent is

Investigate this matter. He may have gotten the results he wanted, or he may not. But we'd better be prepared."

The expression of the alpha wolf looked a little solemn: "All wolves have sharp teeth to protect themselves, but Alyona Anastasia cannot. She is a mortal, and the Ministry of Military Affairs has too many ways to deal with mortals...

..."

"Which regent will attack her?"

Crom Longsight shook his head like a wave: "I don't think he is such a person. Besides, Russ is back... Are you confused, Logan?"

"

"maybe."

Logan Grimnar actually didn't show any reaction to his rude words. The old alpha wolf averted his eyes, and outside the bridge's porthole, the dark stars flew by.

With the Holy Ring approaching, his land-based Titan began to prepare energy for the possible battle that followed.

During this process, his skin felt tingling. When the magic hearth is operating at full strength, the wolves will always feel this small discomfort, but Logan Grimnar ignored it.

He turned his head and bowed to a tall figure in the darkness: "Ruth, what should we do?"

"You just need to kill." Leman Russ smiled silently. "I will take care of my brother's affairs - don't worry, Grimnar, I'm back."

Logan Grimnar was startled. After a brief moment of confusion, he grinned and showed a heartfelt smile.

Yes, Russ is back. The wolves have a master again.
