Chapter 180 A fleeting hope and a meeting across time

Different from the impending storm under the surface of calm outside, the galaxy where Calvin is located is still continuing its own construction.

The iron ring belt on the planet's orbit was successfully completed after one year, marking that the large-scale industrial system centered on this planet has entered a mature stage.

Transport ships are being built in batches at slightly smaller berths to make up for the growing appetite for industrial production capacity supported by the billions of people here.

Two star ports have been built again on the surface to strengthen transportation capabilities and better undertake and utilize the resources of surrounding mining planets.

Corresponding to these increasingly perfect systems, the keel of the first battleship has been laid on the iron ring belt.

This is a standard Mars-class battlecruiser that faithfully fulfills the designer's versatile requirements for high-intensity combat in small fleets.

If there is any difference, then the only difference is the psionic amplification array spread throughout the battleship and the psionic obliteration cannon at the bow of the ship that replaces the nova cannon.

The armor on the bottom of the ship has also been specially modified to be able to deliver nearly a thousand airdrop pods at one time, which was also a requirement specifically mentioned by Calvin.

The Watcher class is Constantine's name for this new series of battleships.

As the first battleship to enter service, its name was naturally followed by convention.

Compared with the busyness here, there is a small alien spacecraft stranded secretly in the corner of the galaxy.

"Have you not received the order yet?" On the ornately decorated bridge, a fair-skinned Eldar woman asked her companions.

The emerald green armor on her body is not gorgeous, but it is exquisite beyond human imagination.

There is no excessive decoration except for a few simple gems. But the curved surface of each piece of armor is extremely smooth, and even the chamfers on the edges seem to have been designed, making every gait of this armor when walking become a collectible art.

"The opinions of the prophets are not the same, and discussion takes time. Guard your reason Aqua, being angry is harmful to your soul but not beneficial. Anger and calmness are equally important in the way of a warrior."

Another older Eldar calmed the eagerness of his compatriots, but he was actually just as impatient in his heart. He just chose the way of the war minister and was forcibly controlling his emotions out of the requirements of his own path.

This is their curse. Since the birth of their creditors, the entire race has been endowed with sharper perceptions and more extreme emotions.

Living like years in their near-eternal lifespan is no longer a literal description, but a real torture.

Fortunately, with the rise of racial heroes, they regained the means to control their emotions and avoid self-destruction - the way. The warriors and war divisions chosen by these two Eldar tribes are among the largest tribes.

"Why are there disputes? Don't they see the same result?"

Aqua tried to calm down her emotions. After taking a few breaths, she calmed down again and chose to reward herself by satisfying her curiosity.

"Of course it's different. There are always countless possibilities in the future, but the prophets are always looking for the one that is most beneficial to us."

Elder Theresa spoke her thoughts carefully.

The language of elves is like this, always using complex affixes in an attempt to gain more precision. Efficiency had never been a virtue in their long lives, and it remains so now.

"So? We are waiting for the adults to decide whether to kill the big guy or capture him?"

Aqua drew out her own war blade. Like the helmet she placed on the shelf, it was also her unique symbol as a howling banshee.

She asked her question nonchalantly, but when she turned her head, she inadvertently saw Theresa's ugly expression.

"On the contrary, it is much harder than those. The prophets were discussing how to send him back to where he should go without being noticed by him..."

Calvin was still stationed on the Mechanical Ark. He was so absorbed in his work that he naturally had no chance to understand the troubles of these two aliens.

The things on the Ark were extremely complicated, and naturally there were not a few left for him.

As the de facto imperial governor, except for specific technical issues, all other administrative matters and people's livelihood are within his scope of responsibility.

While he was still working on the documents in his hands, the alarm in the office sounded without warning.

A scarlet alarm flashed on the data board placed on the table, and high-energy fluctuations were detected at the Manzeville Point in the center of the galaxy.

"Come back? Or..."

Calvin stood up and walked towards the porthole. The end of his field of vision was the subspace rift being torn open.

The real universe was torn apart by objects from the subspace. Under the huge energy fluctuations, floating detection beacons throughout the galaxy were screaming.

But this has not stopped yet. The higher index has exceeded the alarm line of the instrument, proving that the huge size of the visitor far exceeds the specifications of ordinary battleships.

The production of the St. Chris has been urgently stopped, and the turrets densely packed around it like hedgehogs have come out of hiding.

Under the control of the servo, they greedily absorb the energy flow in the pipeline. High-energy fluctuations gather on the muzzle and are accurately pointed in the direction of the subspace breach.

Buzz!

After a burst of dazzling light, the huge body of the Raptor King Planet Fortress broke through the light mist and appeared in everyone's eyes.

This fortress, armed to the teeth, was equally menacing. The muzzles of a large number of macro cannons and nova cannons were in critical condition. Only after confirming the safety of this place and the clear imperial mark on the galaxy, they slowly closed it again. go back.

At the same time, the Ark had just received a message from the astropaths belonging to this interstellar fortress.

"Dear Gray Knights, Lord Calvin. Our Fire Eagles, along with our friendly Fire Eagles Astartes Chapter, are here as requested!"

When the newcomers took the lead in putting away their weapons to show their sincerity, the defenses on the galaxy also slowly put away their weapons.

The tense confrontation began when the fortress appeared and lasted less than three minutes. Under the prying eyes of the Eldar, both sides confirmed their loyalty to each other via telegrams.

"You are the... Gray Knight who claims to be able to solve our problems?"

In the video signal that was connected, Adelaide looked at Calvin on the other side of the screen.

Although a lot of information has been seen from the comparison of the heights of Calvin and Allen behind him.

But for the sake of caution, he was still unwilling to directly admit the other party's identity.

As Chapter Leader, he has great responsibilities and has to be cautious in his words and deeds.

Once some words are spoken, it is equivalent to using his entire battle group to endorse others. His wealth and life were no more than this, so he couldn't help but call Calvin carelessly but awkwardly.

Fortunately, Calvin did not mind his offense, but directly offered to go to the opponent's fortress to discuss.

The atmosphere on both sides eased with his concession, and basic trust between each other began to be established.

Just as the meeting under the "three-party witness" was about to be concluded, the Manzeville Point behind the Star Fortress lit up again.

The flagships belonging to the Tauren and Lamenters battle groups once again tore apart the barrier of subspace, and with the two of them seeing each other's surprised expressions, they came hand in hand!

"Change a place?"

"Change a place?"

The two people on the screen made the same suggestion, and then they both saw the sophisticated side in each other's eyes.

The original talks between the two parties are obviously unrealistic, but from the perspectives of both Calvin and Adelaide, they are worried that the other party will worry that the latecomer is their ally.

The original mutual trust has evaporated at this point. If the talks want to continue, finding a neutral location has become a top priority.

"Haha, then change the place!"

"Haha, then change the place!"

The two spoke in unison again, and then they decided to meet at an outpost on the edge of the galaxy during a later communication meeting between the two war groups.

It was already half a day before we met again.

Calvin took Allen to the outpost on a small frigate, and the leaders of the three war groups on it were also waiting.

The outpost has no design requirements for large warships to be stationed there, and only has a simple landing pad for landing.

Out of respect for Calvin's possible identity, the three senior leaders of the Chapter still waited in the parking deck of the outpost with their guards.

Due to the threat of mutation, the three of them find it difficult to trust each other. Before Calvin's arrival, mutual defense became the brief theme here.

As the Thunder Eagle entered, the leaders of the war group lifted their spirits, and this mood reached a climax when Calvin officially appeared.

"The Emperor's blessing!"

The Chapter Master of the Lamenters was the first to kneel down.

Some things are destined to be difficult to fake, such as the Primarch's natural suppression of the Astartes, and Calvin's huge height of nearly 3.3 meters.

"The Emperor's blessing!" Moloch, Chapter Master of the Tauren, and Adelaide, Chapter Master of the Fire Eagle, also knelt down to show respect for this unseen Primarch.

"Get up. There is no blood connection between us, so you don't need to respect me."

Calvin's voice rang from their ears. The divine soul that was different from other primarchs made these chapter leaders feel another kind of pressure:

It was an excitement that had nothing to do with blood, but a shock to the soul alone.

"With all due respect, although you are standing in front of us, my reason still tells me that I should ask you why I have never heard of your existence in the history of the empire!"

Adelaide struggled to express his question. He felt that if he didn't say it now, he might not have the courage to say it again.

The other two veterans also stared at Calvin and Allen behind him. The will in their eyes showed that if Calvin could not answer, they would fight to the death with him here.

"I'm not from the past!" Calvin thought for a moment and then said to the four people present.

After he said these words with huge information, not only the three veterans, but also Alan Janus behind him looked at him in shock.

"Not the past? That's the future?" Allen murmured.

This perfectly explains why Calvin never mentioned anything about the other brothers, but it brings more questions.

If he comes from the future, who gave him birth? Is it possible that the Emperor will stand up on the throne again in the future?

Looking at the four people's eyes, Calvin understood what they were thinking. He shook his head and denied their hope:

"I came from an accidental encounter with the emperor..." Under the incredulous gazes of the four people, Calvin recalled the story of his first birth, and picked out the parts that could be told to them one by one...

"In short, I returned to this era due to such an accident." Calvin said to Allen and the three veterans.

"Where's the evidence?" Although he already believed most of it, the experienced Adelaide still followed his own logic and asked Calvin the final question.

"As you said, you are the Primarch from the Gray Knights. We have heard of this Chapter, but do not understand it. But according to your description, your genes come directly from the Emperor? Is my understanding wrong? "

"That's true." Calvin nodded and confirmed.

"So based on this logic, can I think that your genes are different from those of your brothers, and you are the most complete one?"

Now that the conversation had begun, Adelaide simply had no scruples and brought up these topics that should not have been discussed by them.

"...You can think so." This question also touched on Calvin's blind spot. He had never thought about the problem from this perspective.

"That means, if what you say is true, all three of our battle groups present can see their Astartes universal gene fragments in you?"

As he spoke, this veteran of the war group who had served for 600 years finally revealed his trump card and took out a simple genetic detector from his back...

When Calvin came back to his senses, he was also touched by the veteran's caution.

"Excuse me for being disrespectful, please!"

This is Adelaide's last ditch effort...

He handed out the instrument with both hands and made a final request to the man in front of him who brought hope to him and the other two people.

In the expectant eyes of the three of them, Calvin stretched out his fingers, dumbfounded, and squeezed his blood into the instrument in front of the three of them.

Subsequently, the samples of the three people were also collected, and this large-scale "blood recognition" was successfully concluded under the green indicator light of the instrument.

"Please forgive me for our offense!" This was the reaction of the three people afterwards, and Calvin also understood the difficulty and was not embarrassed.

The issues involved are too critical, and the origin of Calvin is so bizarre.

Being able to gain their trust so easily was a surprise to Calvin.

He was even prepared for the worst and took the initiative to contact the Tribunal. But once the matter is handed over to these people who would rather kill than let go, the direction of the matter will be completely out of control...

"Get up, let's seize the time and solve your problems."

"Your will!" The three of them stood up after performing the Eagle Ceremony. Moloch, the most impatient among them, proposed to Calvin bluntly:

"You shouldn't waste time here for us! You should return to Terra and bring hope to more people!"

"...I can't do it." Calvin touched his nose and said with some regret.

"What are you worried about?" Allen finally couldn't help but asked his genetic father.

"Yes? What are you worried about? As long as you are willing, we are honored to be your weapons and kill all disloyal people! We are also willing to be your shield to protect you and return to Terra safely!" Weeping The leader of the war group also asked in confusion.

"I... don't have much time." Facing the doubtful and worried eyes of everyone, Calvin told them the secret of the time and space shackles on his body.

He even cautiously stirred up his spiritual power once. After the silver time and space power on it lit up like a chain, he said to these people:

"As you can see, the time I am staying here has entered the countdown. When this chain is completely broken, it will be my return. Time is running out, you must cherish it."

"This..." The four of them were choked by the cruel reality and could not say another word.

The reality is so cruel that precious hope is cruelly extinguished just as it blooms a little brightly.

"Is there nothing you can do?" Adelaide asked.

"No." Calvin replied, looking at everyone with heavy eyes.

How valuable are these warriors who have overcome difficulties and obstacles and are sincere to him!

But he couldn't stay here, nor could he take them away. This meeting was their only meeting in this life. After that, he could only look for their existence in history books...

"Let's go! Under the witness of the Emperor, let us cherish the present."

"Your will!" Three voices with different timbres but the same sadness responded to Calvin's order.

The emergence of a new Primarch surprised them, which meant hope for the Empire;

But then being told to leave made these soldiers feel unspeakably depressed.

They also understand that the communication between them may be limited to this time. After all, 3000 years is a long distance that they are destined to not be able to cross.
