Chapter 207 The Noble Who Knows How to Enjoy Life
Russell nodded and said: Yes, that's true!
"The Kashejin warriors are the elite of the Empire!" Governor Haines exclaimed.
Russell nodded; he too believed that no army within the Imperium was more powerful than theirs, not even the Solar Auxiliary Forces could compare to the warriors of the Blades. "Except for the Space Marines."
"Would you be willing to help me if I encounter any problems in the future?" Governor Haynes asked Russell.
"That depends on the situation. If it harms the interests of the Empire, I will absolutely not help you!" Russell replied decisively.
Governor Haines laughed: Of course not, we've been talking for so long without realizing it. Taj Lena, go prepare some good wine and food. Today, I'm going to drink with Brother Russell until we drop!
Taj Lena agreed and left.
Governor Haines smiled lewdly and then said: "Captain Russell, what do you think of her?"
Russell frowned slightly and said: Not bad.
"How about I give it to you?" Governor Haines said.
"I'm a soldier, I don't need women!"
Governor Haines chuckled and said, "You're a soldier, but you're also a man. Men need to vent their frustrations at the right time..."
Before he could finish speaking, Russell interrupted him, saying, "Governor, please don't talk about such things anymore. If you continue, I'm leaving."
"Hehe...sorry, I won't say anything more!" Governor Haines wisely shut up.
Before long, the girls brought over a large table full of delicious food, including various exquisite dishes, snacks, and all kinds of drinks.
After everything was set up, Governor Haynes said, "Come on, Captain Russell, let me eat and drink."
Seeing the table full of food, Russell got hungry, so this time he didn't refuse and reached out to grab a roasted leg of lamb and started eating.
He almost exclaimed in surprise after taking just the first bite. He had never eaten such delicious lamb leg in his life. It melted in his mouth, with a rich flavor, and was a true delicacy. He ate the whole lamb leg down to the bone in no time.
“Slow down, don’t rush, this whole table of food is for you!” Governor Haines said from the side.
He knew that the Star Guardians lived a miserable life and would definitely not be able to resist the temptation of delicious food. Looking at Russell eating, he knew he had guessed right.
However, one thing surprised him: this giant man could eat an enormous amount.
"Someone come here! Let's have a dance!" Governor Haines shouted.
He had prepared quite a few things to do to entertain Russell; the meal was just the simplest of them all, and the real highlights were yet to come.
A dozen scantily clad women walked in from outside.
These women, all of similar height, with long, flowing hair, wore corsets and sheer veils on their upper bodies and leather shorts on their lower bodies, exposing large areas of their fair skin. Anyone who was not in good enough mental fortitude would immediately have a nosebleed upon seeing this sight.
As soon as they entered, these women started swaying their hips and dancing. Even their dance was extremely seductive, making every man's heart restless.
"Good, good..." Governor Haines shouted excitedly.
Russell continued eating, only occasionally glancing at the dancing women.
Governor Haynes had been observing Russell the whole time, and seeing that he was unmoved by the woman in front of him, he glanced at Taj Lena.
Taj Lena immediately understood and gracefully moved to Russell's side, smiling, "Come, Captain, let me pour you some wine."
Russell nodded without saying anything.
Taj Lena skillfully poured Russell a glass of "Blood Mary" wine, a truly exquisite wine.
Bertrand Russell, who was thirsty, picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
At Taj Lena's service, Russell drank three bottles of wine in one go, leaving everyone stunned.
Fortunately, Governor Haines spared him some face and didn't let Taj Lena lay a hand on Russell, otherwise he would have really stormed off.
No matter how much Haynes tried to create an atmosphere, Russell remained unmoved and quietly ate his food.
The banquet lasted for a while, and Russell finished eating. The singing and dancing ended, and the women all left.
Governor Haines laughed and said, "Captain Russell, did I entertain you well today?"
Russell nodded in satisfaction and said, "Thank you, Governor. You've been very kind to me."
Governor Haines laughed a few times and said: That's good. I don't want to hear people talking behind my back, saying that I didn't treat you well. Would you like to stay here for a few days?
Russell stood up and shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I have military affairs to attend to and need to go back to my post."
Governor Haines said regretfully: That's such a pity. I still have so many fun things I haven't shown you.
Russell smiled and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. We'll meet again sometime."
"Taj Lena, see Captain Russell off!"
Accompanied by the beautiful woman, Russell left the top of the hive and returned to his residence.

"Sir, have you had too much to drink?" Leos sensed that Russell was acting a little differently today.
Russell laughed and said: "I only had a little, so I can't say I drank too much."
"How was the hospitality from the Armenus family?" Leos asked curiously.
Russell laughed heartily and said: That's wonderful! Not only will there be fine wine and food, but also beautiful women dancing.
Leos said with a serious expression: "These nobles all know how to enjoy themselves!"
"Today is just the beginning. From now on, the Armenus family will keep trying to win me over. Being entangled with these nobles is a very troublesome thing!" Russell said helplessly.
"Life is like a play, and everyone is just putting on an act," Leos reminded Russell.
Oglin "brutally" walked over from a distance.
"My lord, when are we going out to fight the orcs? I'm getting impatient!" the brutal man grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"soon!"
"When is 'soon'?"
Russell glared at him and said, "Be patient. There are tons of orcs outside. One day you'll be able to unleash your full power and cause a ruckus."
Although Oglin was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say anything and just left angrily.
“What should we do next?” Leos asked.
"I heard from Governor Haines that the Chapter Master of the Crimson Fist will be arriving soon. All we have to do is wait. Once the Chapter Master arrives, it will be time for a full-scale attack. In the meantime, let the brothers train hard!"
Leos nodded and said: That's the only way.
"I'm going to rest now!" Russell said before leaving.
After lying in bed, Russell began to think about this question: Why would the Armenus family try so hard to win him over? He was just a small captain. Shouldn't they be trying to win over the more powerful Space Marines?
If he dared to flirt with the Space Marines, he would likely be considered a heretic by them. To put it bluntly, Russell is still a human being, and human thinking is not as rigid as that of the Space Marines. This is also why Governor Haynes was so bold.
