Chapter 110 Conversation and Handover
"The Prophet Brotherhood has been paying attention to me?"
This was the first thing Calvin asked after the two of them sat down. The Redeemer of Dead Souls arrived in such a timely manner, which really surprised him and gave him a new appreciation for the capabilities of the Prophet Brotherhood.
As for the real enemies of the Gray Knights, the demons from Chaos, he had a more pessimistic prediction.
Under the intervention of such accurate predictions, the Gray Knights are still struggling to plug the gaps that are constantly being created throughout the universe. Even with his joining, how much can this situation change?
Regarding Calvin's question, Captain Yule's answer made him a little disappointed, but also made him a little optimistic.
"Don't overestimate your importance, and don't overestimate the capabilities of the Brotherhood of the Prophet."
This was Jule's answer, and Calvin also understood the actual capabilities of the Brotherhood of the Prophets with subsequent explanations.
Regarding Calvin's whereabouts, Titan had already conducted a data search within the Demon Tribunal as soon as it obtained the delivery records of the Supreme Decree.
After learning that there was no record of any internal personnel's activities, the Redeemer of the Souls was immediately dispatched here to respond.
After all, from the perspective of the Prophet Brotherhood, there is no difference between the information about Calvin in the etheric ocean and what the Chaos side can know.
None of them had any engravings or records of Calvin's real name, so they could only make vague guesses about Calvin's fate, such as that he might appear in a certain place at a certain time.
If we have to talk about differences, then knowing the existence of Calvin itself is the biggest difference.
Regardless of whether Calvin appears in this operation, receiving and recovering a Gray Knight strike team without a ship is one of the daily tasks of the Order of the Victory Blade.
As for the predictions of Chaos Daemons, the power of the Brotherhood of the Prophets is much more comparable.
After thousands of years of accumulation, the countless true names of demons recorded in the Titan Library are always particularly sensitive to their masters.
Relying on the records of these real names, the Brotherhood of the Prophet always knows the consequences of these demons who attempt to realize their conspiracies in the real universe, and often knows about their conspiracies before they are launched.
But the territory of the empire is so vast, and the number of demons trying to sneak from subspace into the real universe at every moment is almost endless. Therefore, with limited manpower, the Gray Knights can only turn a blind eye to most of these actions.
They will only submit the most threatening possibilities to the cases of the Grand Masters after screening, and the rest can only be handed over to the mortal part of the Tribunal. This is also one of the main contents of the daily work of the Inquisitors. The rest come from their own prophetic departments.
"So what are our next plans? Return to our home planet Titan?" Calvin asked.
"It depends on your own wishes." Yule shrugged.
In fact, unless there is a clear mission direction, the normal whereabouts of the Gray Knight strike cruiser that goes out to perform patrol missions are not only responsible for the higher-level theater commander, that is, the Grand Master who is out on rotation, but also responsible for the mission during the remaining main time. The selection and movement of the troops were all decided by the arbiter in charge of the strike team, Calvin himself.
In the absence of a specific Demon Tribunal actively calling for help, the Demon Tribunal will usually send out statistical reports from various locations in encrypted channels from time to time.
The missions are all within the selection range of the strike team. If a Gray Knight chooses to take on these missions due to unsatisfactory fighting or other reasons on their way back after completing their mission, then the work of the local Demon Tribunal awaiting assistance The personnel will be surprised to find a group of gray cans falling from the sky in front of them.
Of course, considering the usually busy schedules of the Gray Knights, this won't happen too often.
But if you really see these cruisers that are different from ordinary Astartes appearing in orbit, please remember to arrange a decent funeral for yourself in advance, because even if you are lucky enough to survive the next battle If you come down, then losing your memory along with all the survivors on the entire planet is actually not that big of a difference from death.
After all, when a person's social relationships and blood relationships no longer exist due to permanent amnesia, there is really no difference between the person's life and death.
Calvin also clearly knew his position. In a sense, he had a moment of negative emotions because of his ominous status.
But just like what he heard when he chatted with Telinka Lyudmila who personally executed the extermination order of three worlds on Titan:
"It is not that we bring disaster here, but that disaster comes first, and then we can be destroyed later."
And another sentence of this emotional but resolute judge was still fresh in his memory:
"There are always people who question my right to exterminate tens of billions of people to survive, but if you really understand, you will know that I just don't have the right to let them live."
Calvin was convinced of this. The Gray Knights were never heartless people. They just had a deep understanding of the pervasive pollution and distortion of this evil existence after thousands of years of contact with Chaos.
There are enough examples in the database of the Inquisition of ruining the entire planet's population due to a moment of soft-heartedness. There are so many that neither this dark warehouse nor the hearts of the Gray Knights can let go of any new and old examples again. occur.
If someone tries to use their false philanthropic heart to move themselves, and then prevent the mission of the Gray Knights.
Calvin didn't mind sending them together to meet the sun that originally took him in. In Calvin's philosophy, he was only responsible for the entire human race and the sun.
He doesn't need their understanding, because the luxury of communication between people in this cruel universe is understanding.
Right and wrong will be decided in due course.
The next journey was much simpler. Under the command of Calvin, the Revenant Redeemer began to rush towards the nearest star sector.
There they will get more timely and reliable information from the Demon Tribunal, instead of the current remote location where all the news has to go through the fragmented reports of the astropaths through layers of relays.
Where's Yule? Where is our great Captain Yule?
As a veteran with hundreds of years of service experience, he naturally has the valuable quality of knowing people well and being a good fisherman.
Not long after Calvin boarded the Revenant Redeemer, he handed over the command of the entire ship to the arbiter who didn't even have time to rest.
The euphemistic name is to be responsible for the entire battle group and to think about the future of the battle group. Veterans have old injuries and need to get adequate rest. Newcomers need more opportunities to exercise. Calvin, you must grasp something...
Calvin was indifferent to these nonsense. He had already taken over the command out of desperation and said:
Either make me work, or make me listen to your bullshit.
So our Captain Yule turned around and left without saying another word. The agility of his steps and the vigor of his skills made Calvin behind him furious.
After Captain Jules left to recuperate (fishing), apart from Tabers and Bishop Klein, whom he had not seen for a long time, only Calvin was left on the entire bridge.
Calvin, who had nothing to do, actually wanted to learn from Captain Yule's behavior and left.
Out of a sense of responsibility, he could not allow himself to leave his post within 24 hours of accepting command of a cruiser.
But he really had nothing to do. The course of the ship has been set and no further discussion is needed.
In the previous battle, he only touched the area where he was. He didn't know the details in other directions, and it was not convenient to find someone to review it.
The Gray Knights were still in the process of resting after boarding the ship. Whether it was Golden, Tarik, or the Interceptor veteran Alexei, they had all fallen into a long-lost sleep after the purification ceremony. Calvin Can't disturb them.
The bored Calvin looked at Tabers and Bishop Klein who were still busy. The two were so silent while working that he didn't even know how to start a conversation.
He suddenly understood Yule's running away behavior. He could still survive such a day...
One update, vote.
