#2206 - Terra Star (Part 2)
Although Lars Marbo's performance made Stark feel a chill in his heart, fortunately, Soshian didn't mind. He turned to face the Ogryns, who were named Greshu and Gronde, a pair of brothers.
It must be said that their physiques were very burly, and they were the only soldiers who didn't need to stand on the platform to receive the medal. They wouldn't even look inferior standing in front of Soshian. Moreover, according to visual estimation, Soshian believed that their size was much taller and stronger than most people in the battle group. Those bulging muscles protruded on their bodies, and of course, their bellies were not small. This seemed to be a common problem for most Ogryns.
Although wearing combat vests and the kilt unique to the Oaken Fists, many ablative scars and obvious cutting marks could still be seen on their bodies. According to the Department of Military Affairs, when they returned, they were infected with corrosive venom and viruses from Chaos Nurgle during the battle. They endured the severe pain and scorched the injured areas with flamethrowers, then applied holy oil and blessed rose salt (Soshian admired the toughness of these Ogryns' nerves), and lay down for a full ten days under the care of the medical sisters to recover.
"You are the bravest and most commanding Ogryns, worthy of this honor. The entire planet of Oaken will be proud of you."
As soon as Soshian finished speaking, the two Ogryns stretched out their hands blankly, as if asking for a reward. Soshian and the people around him laughed, because they were worried that they might damage the box if they got it in their hands. Just right, the height difference between each other was not too much, Soshian simply took out the medal from the box and personally "stuck" it on the chest of their tactical vests.
The two brothers also glanced at their chests very tacitly, and then scratched their heads.
"Can this be eaten?"
"Doesn't seem to be?"
"Did we do a good job?"
"Why isn't there the goddess's sweets?"
Soshian certainly knew what sweets they were talking about. The Oaken Fists caused a lot of trouble because they were not familiar with the way when they first arrived at the space station. It was Veronica who comforted these big guys with sweets that were very Eldar in style and taste.
So he smiled and patted the shoulders of the two big guys.
"Yes, I will get it for you later, you can eat as much as you want."
"That's great."
"I can eat until I'm full."
"Can't eat until you're full, the head also wants to eat."
"He didn't come."
"He came, see, you forgot again."
"I didn't forget, you remembered wrong."
Soshian ignored the two living treasures and came to the psychic sitting in the mechanical wheelchair. Although he was wearing the light purple robe of the Psychic Academy, the difficulty of the battle at that time could still be seen from him. Not only did he still have a tube inserted in his nose, but also tubes inserted in the back of his head and even his back, connecting to a small life support device. Moreover, his head was swollen larger than that of ordinary people, with purple scars visible on it, and even one of his eyes had only a snow-white patch left.
Basically, this combat psychic will say goodbye to all battles after this, and will most likely return to the Psychic Academy to become a teacher.
"Captain Forge, you used your talent, as well as your heroic and fearless determination, and firm belief to save your comrades and severely damage the most terrifying enemy in the warp. The Emperor's light will forever shroud your soul."
The psychic tremblingly stretched out his hand with the help of the machine to receive the medal box, and said in a hoarse voice:
"I will not fail my mission and I have no regrets."
When Soshian came to the Stormtrooper, the other party was still wearing black carapace armor. Gray hair and beard could be seen, but they were trimmed very cleanly. He also wore a black turban on his head, and his left eye was a mechanical bionic eye. Although he was old, he did not look old at all, but instead revealed a sense of competence and toughness.
"Sergeant David, your loyalty and courage make the Throne shine, and your extraordinary tactical skills make the enemy change color. I wish you more enemies of mankind to be eliminated in the future."
The other party took the medal, and there was no expression on his resolute face, just saluting Soshian.
"Priest Sacara, you have the most sacred soul, the most steadfast faith, and the most ardent fighting spirit. All the enemies of the Emperor have been eliminated by the light of your spirit."
This battle priest seemed very excited, raising his hands and shouting:
"The Emperor's will is like a torch, illuminating and destroying all evil! ! !"
Soshian just nodded and turned to the last one, Ban Yefrian.
This tall warrior had a very Cadian militaristic face, his entire face was very regular (square), with light purple eyes and a daunting physique. Under his carapace armor, thick bones were covered with a layer of plate-like muscles. One can imagine how powerful this strong and huge body would be when using heavy weapons, but this is not innate, but all Kasrkins have to undergo mild biochemical modifications.
It is said that this assault captain not only has superb shooting skills, but also excellent swordsmanship. He is one of the greatest duelists in the Cadian army, often wielding a huge, crackling power sword.
But now this weapon is not with him.
"Sergeant Yefrian, you have brought many honors to Cadia, and Cadia is also proud of you. I am very happy to see you."
Faced with Soshian's outstretched hand, Yefrian could only symbolically put his palm on it, and then took the medal handed over by the other party.
"Duty is our life!"
After that, Soshian also issued some special medals, such as the Burden Bearer Medal for the transportation soldiers, the Destruction Medal for the artillery, and various medals for the tankers. This is also the type with the most medals, including the Phoenix Medal, the Warrior Medal, and the Sharp Soldier Medal, etc.
After awarding the soldier medals, it was time for the officer medals.
The first were the recipients of the Macharian Cross, who were basically middle and lower-level commanders or commissars in an Astra Militarum regiment who had defeated the enemy with extraordinary courage or wisdom in battle and carried out a great tactic.
"You are the most heroic and wise commanders in the Imperial Army, showing extraordinary spirit and courage on the battlefield. Your soldiers also deeply admire your fearless spirit and loyal spirit. Therefore, I hereby represent the Expeditionary Force Headquarters to award you the Macharian Cross to commend your loyalty and contribution to the Throne."
Although these company-level grassroots officers were dressed cleanly and neatly, the traces of the tragic battle could still be seen on their bodies. Many people's faces had been disfigured due to burns, some had lost their limbs and had to be replaced with mechanical prostheses, and some had breathing tubes inserted in their nostrils and necks, but each of them tried their best to stand up straight and raise their heads.
This time, there was more than just Soshian awarding the medals. He was mainly responsible for awarding medals to the officers, while Yarrick, as the commissar representative, was awarding medals to the commissars on the other side.
