Chapter 86 The Aftertaste
"Eat...Why don't you eat?"
In the special canteen of the Hall of Champions, Calvin was eating an unknown portion of the special food in his hand.
Sitting around and watching him eat were his comrades from the Honor Guard whom he had not seen for five years.
After enjoying his first real meal in five years, Calvin put down the knife and fork in his hand.
He looked at the quiet comrades around him. Five years was not a long time, but it was enough to produce several hearty battles.
These paladins wearing Terminator power armor in front of them, when they are not performing the duties of the Honor Guard, they exist more to provide protection for the Grand Master on the battlefield.
Project the most powerful force in the most dangerous places, and perform the most stable and reliable guardianship function in the most dangerous places.
This is the daily life of the Paladins.
In addition to their daily protective work, they are also among the strongest individual soldiers on the battlefield.
Therefore, as the strongest people besides the Grand Master, they are also most often used as the "sharp knives" part of psychic disciplines, used to break the strongest defense or kill the most evil enemies.
If it is too strong, it will break easily, so the battle damage rate of the Paladin, which is always used as the tip of a knife, has always been high.
When they are asked to perform tasks other than guarding on the battlefield, it usually means that the battle situation is not going well.
The commander needs to throw his second-ranked reserve force into the battle to reverse the chance of victory.
Therefore, he would either directly punch the opponent's leader in the face with the enhanced spiritual energy of the entire team of Gray Knights. If he won, he would kill the opponent's formation on the spot; if he lost, he would be snatched back under the cover of the Gray Knights risking their lives. , but there is no guarantee that the ones snatched back are alive.
Fortunately, they were brave enough and lucky enough that Calvin could still see their faces completely after waking up from this hibernation.
However, dangers on the battlefield are unavoidable, so more or less each of these Paladins has a few scars on their armor or faces that are difficult to erase with time.
After circling around these veterans, Calvin asked everyone. "Which company are you with now?"
"Our combat organization is now different from that of the Paladins. During the current duty period, we are all in a 4-4 organization, with me on one team and Golden on the other. The remaining people rotate."
Gaisvin replied, and then he slapped his forehead under Calvin's curious eyes, took out the psychic seed that Calvin originally left, held it in his hand and said:
"Because of this, we can still maintain the same frequency at a limited distance even when you are away. So our tactical positioning has been permanently changed."
When he saw the seed, Calvin understood the reason for all this.
"Ah, the secondary sub-channel formed spontaneously after leaving the mother body? This is very interesting."
On a small scale and on the same frequency, he still has unparalleled special effects in tactics. Especially in some special terrains and systems, this sharing of thoughts and frequencies will geometrically multiply the weight of one's own system. After all, four Terminators and four Terminators controlled by one consciousness have completely different firepower densities.
Calvin's only question now is how different this seed is from its original body after losing contact with it for so long.
And will this difference affect its communication with the mother? If not, do these differences need to be fixed?
Calvin took the psychic "seed" from Gavins' hand, and he could feel the seed's response to his mother's body.
There is no problem with communication. Although the channels of thinking communication are much less than my latest one, this is a version problem. Just upgrade it.
Underneath this is the state of the entire seed, which is also growing in one of several possible directions preset by Calvin.
This also made Calvin breathe a sigh of relief, because any changes that may occur at this stage, even if they seem to have many benefits, are definitely not what Calvin wants.
That means that the growth settings of the seeds are out of control under the dual interference of psychic energy and subspace.
Once this happens, Calvin's best way is to find all users of this seed and recover the seed.
Completely seal it, discard it, and never use it again.
After all, there is a story about the Thousand Sons in the old materials, and Calvin has clearly understood it.
When it comes to matters involving psionic power and the Warp, any luck may ultimately lead to the machinations and malice of the Lord of Change.
Calvin would rather get the clumsiest results from every experiment and exploration than to see the "accidents and surprises" that may arise.
The psychic "seed" or anchor point taken out from Gavins' body in front of him made Calvin very pleased with its stability and the purity of Gavins' psychic energy.
If either one of them is lacking, the seed will not be in such perfect condition now that it has been 5 years since leaving Calvin.
Calvin gently lifted up the "seed" of spiritual energy in his palms, clasped his hands together and closed his eyes to instill his own spiritual energy into it.
His latest psychic properties were immediately instilled into this seed, which naturally also included a little bit of understanding and characteristics about salvation.
After he returned the seed to Gavins, the other party placed it again between his eyebrows.
After completing more than one procedure with all members of the guard, Calvin chatted with them about what happened before Calvin fell into coma.
"So, there are three extermination orders in the end?" Calvin asked.
"Yes, three, all in Alfaran." Gavins replied.
"We gave birth to one for them?" Calvin continued.
"Indeed, bipolar cyclone torpedoes are restricted by imperial decrees. Only two are allowed to be stored in a sector. The one on our ship was temporarily transferred from the Hess sector." Gavins said.
"Used it in the end?"
"I used it, but when I came back I found out that a barge had taken it away before we set off."
"All right……"
The next day, Calvin returned to his residence and first completed the atonement ceremony for the armor under the witness of the technical sergeant.
After putting on the well-maintained Terminator power armor with the help of auxiliary machinery, he walked towards the church where the Grand Master was.
In one of Titan's main streets, Calvin walked toward the Grand Master's office located under the cathedral in his unique image of a huge, silver Terminator power armor.
Waiting for him was the final evaluation and report on this mission, as well as the arrangements for the following tasks.
But what he was thinking about during the journey was not this, but about the information and clues he collected while inside the atmosphere of SATA One.
The documents Calvin obtained on SATA One regarding Imperial Governor Hyland had been sorted and purified upon his return to Titan.
A timeline of disease contamination across the entire SATA segment can also provide useful information from other sources.
Although five years have passed. But Calvin knew that no one on the Empire's side was satisfied with the decision-making process in the campaign that ended with the Order of Extermination.
This is a manifestation of their incompetence and a disgrace to the entire Inquisition and the Gray Knights.
So any information about the blight in the SATA sector would be of interest to the Inquisition and the Gray Knights.
They have indeed been using this information to review the entire battle afterwards, looking for any fleeting opportunities for victory that may have existed in the first place.
I have a bad cold, update, please vote.
