On the battle barge wrath of justice, in the mess hall.
Li Feng watched the drama unfolding before him, then bent down to pick up a napkin from the floor that didn't look too dirty and wasn't stained with blood, and wiped his hands.
It was only then that Colonel Kastin and Major Brocklaw noticed there was another person present. They observed that Li Feng's uniform was clearly different from that of typical Astra Militarum officers.
However, the only things that caught their attention were the colonel's insignia on Li Feng's collar and the rosary beads and Adeptus Mechanicus pendant that slipped out from under his sailor shirt when he bent down to pick up the napkin.
Even Lieutenant Sura, who had just arrived and was about to report that all the troublemakers had been confined, a person usually oblivious, paused for a few seconds after seeing this... Kastin and Brocklaw immediately snapped to attention instinctively, as they had both been junior officers before becoming a colonel and a major respectively, and their bodies reacted automatically.
At the same time, Kastin and Brocklaw had already realized that this man's identity was extraordinary. The rosary beads indicated he was one of the most esteemed individuals in the Imperium of Man, while the Adeptus Mechanicus pendant suggested he was a being respected even by those "stubborn" Oil Men.
After wiping his hands, Li Feng smiled at their rigid salute and waved his hand, telling them not to be nervous. Then, Li Feng patted Cain's arm and said:
"Aren't you going to introduce me to the two officers you'll be working with? I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful and charming female colonel among them."
As a woman, Kastin naturally enjoyed being complimented, especially by a young and handsome officer like Li Feng. Kastin smiled shyly, gazing at Li Feng's fair face, a rarity in the Astra Militarum.
Brocklaw, meanwhile, discerned from Li Feng's tone that he and Cain had a very good relationship. This proved that Li Feng had at least once fought alongside the heroic Commissar Cain.
So he naturally stood at attention, chest out, stomach in, assuming a posture ready for inspection, waiting for Cain to introduce him to the other party to leave a good impression.
Cain took two steps forward, placed a hand on Li Feng's shoulder, and introduced them:
"This lady is Colonel Kastin, the current Commander of the Valhalla 296th. And this gentleman is Major Brocklaw, the current Deputy Commander of the Valhalla 296th."
As Cain finished the introductions, both immediately straightened their bodies and saluted: "Loyalty!"
Li Feng returned the salute: "Loyalty."
Having introduced them, Cain then gestured towards Li Feng, his mind recalling how Chapter Master Huron of the Claws of the Stars had once showered Li Feng with praise.
But Li Feng didn't seem to intend to reveal his identity so early. If he did, everyone would keep their distance, and wouldn't that be too boring!
"I am Bruce Lee, the Quartermaster General of the Expeditionary Fleet."
Hearing Li Feng's self-introduction, Cain looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if asking, "So you're still not tired of 'incognito visits' and 'playing the pig to eat the tiger,' are you?"
"Political Commissar? Political Commissar?" Brocklaw's voice broke Cain's thoughts. Cain looked at Brocklaw, then back at Li Feng... "Yes, I've known him since I first became a Political Commissar. We once served together in the Valhalla 12th Field Artillery Regiment."
Hearing this, both showed surprised expressions. Kastin even involuntarily took two steps closer to Li Feng: "Really! Did Colonel Li also serve with the 'hero of frax'?"
Being flattered by a beautiful woman... it felt great! Li Feng's face broke into a wide smile.
"That's right, I'm the one who knows him best! Right, Political Commissar..."
Cain's expression was full of helplessness. Isn't the person who knows you best yourself?
"Yes... Bruce... he knows Li Feng best."
At this point, Kastin and Brocklaw began to discuss Li Feng's "great achievements" among themselves, making Li Feng a little embarrassed.
"I heard that Lord Li Feng once single-handedly took down a Hive Tyrant! And together with Commissar Cain, he shattered a Chaos Cultists gathering place, killing a Greater Daemon of Chaos!"
"And Lord Li Feng at Frax! He launched a surprise attack four times across the Frax River! Within days, he had the traitor Savan, the leader of the traitors, hanging from the gallows!"
Li Feng's face was beaming, while Cain helplessly rubbed his head.
Li Feng patted Cain's shoulder: "Alright, don't look so glum. Later, I'll transfer a batch of new weapons from the warehouse for you. You can take them to pick some out."
Hearing the conversation between Cain and "Bruce Lee," Kastin, Brocklaw, and Sura immediately showed expressions of sudden understanding... As expected of Commissar Cain! By maintaining good relations with the Quartermaster, they would have more weapons, equipment, and supplies! Truly the heroic Commissar Cain, who saw things they couldn't.
However, hearing about new equipment, Cain became interested and immediately put his arm around Li Feng, walking to a corner, looking like secret agents engaged in a mysterious transaction.
"You said new equipment? What good stuff do you have? Hook a brother up. That laser pistol you gave me last time was great, good for both close and long range."
"Mostly big stuff, unless you want an armored vehicle following you around. What, do you want to be a Transformer? Hahaha! I do have master-crafted power swords forged on Mars, do you want one?"
Upon hearing about the master-crafted power sword forged on Mars, Cain almost wanted to kneel. Master-crafted power swords were only equipped by the highest-ranking Imperial generals, Space Marine Chapter Masters, and Honor Guard.
Even the power sword Fides currently wore on her hip was only of "superior quality"... Of course, what Fides didn't know was that the dagger Li Feng gave her was a "relic-grade" item, comparable to "emperors sword," "Spear of Dionysus," and "sword of the crone," which are "artifacts," it just didn't have any special abilities yet.
"Yes! Definitely yes!" Cain at this moment was like a roommate hearing a friend ordering takeout and offering to order him a portion. That was a master-crafted power sword! It could cut through Space Marine and tanks, only Titans would be too tough.
"Alright, then you or Yugen can pick it up from my ship. Remember that Oil Man named Ma Yinglong? He's been promoted now, go find him to get it. I'll arrange it with him beforehand."
Li Feng looked at Cain's eager expression and couldn't help but smile: "Be careful, don't show off too much. That sword is very sharp, it can cut straight through ordinary armor. Don't accidentally mess up."
Cain couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Don't worry, what kind of situations haven't I seen? But you, 'Colonel Bruce Lee'... are you still planning to continue your 'incognito visits'?"
Li Feng smiled mysteriously: "For now, let's keep it this way. Too much fame can be restrictive. It's better to meet more people and understand life at the grassroots level."
Cain shook his head and chuckled: "You really know how to have fun. You haven't actually gotten involved with an alien woman, have you? What about your... 'girlfriend'..."
Then he looked at Kastin and Brocklaw, who were enthusiastically discussing equipment.
Li Feng shook his head helplessly: "Don't worry, she's just my advisor, and she's good-looking and pleasant to look at."
The two exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh together... Just then, Lieutenant Sura approached again, looking somewhat excited: "Colonel Bruce Lee! Commissar Cain! If you two have any new missions, remember to call me!"
She looked at the two expectantly, as if a great battle was about to begin.
Cain patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities."
