Chapter 272 The First Line

A few hours ago, it was in the civilian low-cost restaurant on the middle level of the Memeril Hive.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, how much do you want to eat! You must eat me up!"

Tarot was picking up a piece of dried meat with the knife in his hand, dipping some of the soup on the plate into his mouth and chewing it. In front of him was Oglin Benben, who was engrossed in eating.

"Benben still wants to eat."

"Okay, okay, don't eat it. If you keep eating like this, you'll eat me!"

"oh."

Benben held up the basin and licked the remaining things with his tongue. Tarot curled his lips when he saw Benben licking the bowl, and called the shop owner over.

"Hey! Honey! It's time to check out."

A woman with pigtails came out of the back kitchen and walked briskly on the floor to Tarot and Cunben's table.

"Who is your dear? I never promised you."

Looking at the pretty woman who covered half of her face with a menu board, Tarot scratched her hair and said, "As long as Catachan people are convinced, they will not give up. Of course, I will give up if you get married."

"Pfft." The woman buried her head on the menu board, then tilted her head slightly and looked at Tarot with one of her eyes.

Oh, these beautiful eyes. Every time Tarot saw her green eyes, he would think of his hometown, the moist and green woods.

The energetic blink of an eye combined with the girl's cute movements made Tarot fall deeply in love and unable to extricate himself. Just like every Catachan has his own steel sword, Catachan's love is equally loyal.

The experience of conquering the jungle gave them an indomitable temperament, and they would never give up on that beautiful flower as long as they were still alive.

Taking down the menu board, the woman picked up a pen and wrote on it, "Thank you so much for bringing Benben here to dine so often. Otherwise, I don't know how to survive. Life in the hive city is even more difficult now." Do you know that Mrs. Lovell's family has started working in the steel forge and the food synthesis factory? How respectable their family was before the war. They donated 10 throne coins to the church every week."

The woman looked at Tarot staring at her blankly, not listening to her words at all.

He puffed up his cheeks angrily and pinched Tarot's ears.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!"

"Huh? Oh, what did you just say?"

"Really, you are always like this! You never listen to me well."

Seeing the woman's angry look, Tarot felt that her eyes were so beautiful and her voice was so beautiful.

"Rena, you are so beautiful."

This kind of straightforward praise combined with Tarot's serious expression had a very strong effect on the woman named Reina.

Reina blushed shyly, then pretended that nothing happened, slapped the checkout form on the table, "I won't be deceived by your fancy words."

"No, dear, Catachans never lie. We always tell the truth."

Tarot laughed loudly and flexed his muscles. It could be seen that Rena was even more shy because of his actions.

"Come on, why are you always so idle?"

Rena pushed Tarot's chest, trying to drive him out of her restaurant, but it was obvious that she couldn't let such a muscular man waver even half a step.

"So will you marry me? Really, I mean it."

"Come on! Benben! Take him away and I'll give you a bowl of potato soup to drink."

"OK."

Benben was successfully persuaded by the potato soup. He wiped his mouth with his arm, then picked up the huge tearing gun beside him, pinched Tarot's waist with his big hands and put it on his shoulders.

"Stupid! I pay for all your meals! You can't do this!"

"I want potato soup."

Tarot wanted to break away from Benben's big hand, but he couldn't move at all, even if the muscles on his body were bulging with veins, Benben's strength was too great.

"Here, here's the potato soup."

"Thank you. Uh."

Benben took the potato soup and drank it in one gulp. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't remember. He could only scratch his chin with his fingers and look up at the light bulb to think.

"Call sister-in-law." Tarot shouted, and then Benben remembered what to call.

"sister in law."

Reina looked at Tarot and Benben and smiled and could hardly stand. She leaned on the table and watched Benben and Tarot walk out of the door step by step.

"It's true. I was almost done. It was all your fault."

"What's wrong?"

"Ah. Throne, that iron skull is smarter than you."

Tarot helplessly hit his head on Benben's shoulder, which did nothing but make his forehead turn red. He could have knocked over a bison with his headbutt, but there was nothing he could do about Benben.

Sighing, he looked up at Rena who was standing at the door of the restaurant and waved to him, "I'll wait for you!"

Oh, my beautiful and lovely Rena! It's great that she is willing to accept me. After I finish working with Judge Omar, I will stop being a mercenary. I have earned enough throne coins.

Tarot smiled happily. Although it didn't look good on his war-torn and ferocious face, it could be seen that he was really happy.

Phew~

An unusual sound came from the street, and Tarot frowned. This sound was too familiar to him. Even if he blocked his ears with his hands, he could still hear the sound of flying rockets.

"No. Wait! Rena, hide!"

Taro could hear the sound of the rocket getting closer and closer. Just like all veterans, people who have lived long enough on the battlefield can judge whether their position will be hit by a shell by the sound of the shells breaking through the sky.

This can also be judged based on such experience for rockets.

But Reina didn't understand what Taro meant. She was just a civilian, a person who ran a small restaurant left by her parents in the middle nest. If Taro hadn't brought Benben to consume, Reina's restaurant might not have lasted until now.

A rocket hit Reina's restaurant, turning the small shop passed down by the family into a burning ruin.

Reina didn't even have time to exclaim before she was pressed under the ruins. Taro's eyes were about to burst, and he patted Benben's shoulder hard.

"Put me down! Your sister-in-law was beaten!"

"Ah?"

Benben finally reacted. He looked back at the restaurant that brought him happiness, looking at the blazing flames, where did Reina, who always smiled at him, go?

From the other side of the street came the sound of gunfire and violent roars, "Destroy those scum! Destroy them! For the saint!"

Hundreds of people holding automatic weapons and various iron tools rushed towards Benben and Taro.

Taro looked at the burning ruins in pain, with blood flowing on the ground. He roared in grief and anger, and then pulled out the communicator on his waist.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! You rotten thing! Benben smashed them! They made you unable to eat the meal cooked by your sister-in-law!"

"What? My sister-in-law's meal!!!"

Benben finally realized the seriousness of the problem. He could not eat the potato soup cooked by his beautiful sister-in-law. He pointed the tearing gun in his hand at the people rushing over.

The bullets sprayed from the tearing gun tore the flesh of the crowd apart, and the intestines and bones were scattered all over the ground, but the crazy crowd did not panic and retreat because of the casualties. They rushed over and fired at Benben.

The bullets hit Benben's skin and armor. The Ogryn's tough skin and flesh were revealed in this raid, and the damage caused by these weapons to him can be said to be negligible.

"Finally! Damn it." Taro looked at the burning ruins of the restaurant again and closed his eyes in pain, "Captain! What happened to you!"

"Captain Taro!" A stormtrooper captain appeared on the screen, with the background of the war-torn Tribunal Hall, "We can't contact Lord Omar! The communication of the Memeril Hive has been blocked!"

The explosion came from behind the stormtrooper captain, and he held the communicator in his arms so that it would not be damaged at this time.

"Those traitors are attacking the Tribunal Hall! We can't hold on for much longer!"

"Damn it, who is attacking us? Did the traitors outside sneak in?"

"No, sir! It's the State Church! It's the State Church's Atonement Corps! They all rebelled!"

"What?" Taro held the communicator. He knew that the State Church was organizing a large-scale Atonement Corps these days and was ready to send it to the front battlefield.

These redemption legions are completely normal, with no signs of betrayal. Why would they suddenly attack at this time?

Others don't know, but Taro has been following Inquisitor Omar for so long that he already knows how to identify fallen people.

Degeneration is a gradual process, not a one-time event that will completely turn them into manic heretics.

But these guys...

Taro leaned over to look at the bodies that were smashed by Benben. There were no symbols on those bodies. If the bruises and whip marks that already existed could be counted, the empire would have been finished long ago.

"Damn. The state religion betrayed all of a sudden? That's bullshit."

Taro pulled out the laser gun hanging on his waist and the saber hidden behind his calf, and then looked at the communicator, "You go to Rast's study and burn all his books and scrolls! That psychic guy will know the situation here!"

"Yes! Sir!"

The stormtrooper captain received the order, and then there was the sound of a bomb. A series of bullets seemed to hit the loyal captain. Taro could only see the broken armor and smoking flesh on his screen.

A foot appeared on the screen, and Taro could recognize at a glance that it was the power armor that only combat nuns would wear.

"Damn it."

Taro took a last look at the burning restaurant, cut his arm with a saber, and dripped blood on the ground. He shouted to Benben.

"Benben! Let's go, let's go eat!"

"Ah? Sister-in-law's meal?"

"Yes! Let's go to her house for dinner! Sister-in-law made you the ant bull grilled steak you like! Do you like it?"

"Benben likes it."

"Very good." Taro ran towards an alley and threw two smoke bombs, "Whoever goes home first will eat the biggest piece of grilled steak!"

"Wow! Benben wants to eat the biggest piece!"

The heavy footsteps fell on the ground very frequently, that was the sound of Benben running desperately for food.

How to feed a Squig.

(Here are two lines that happen at the same time, one is about the things in the Memeril Hive, and the other is about the things in the Hell Factory. Here I will write about the Memeril Hive first)
