Chapter 220 The beginning of return and the belated ending

The Revenant Redeemer slowly descended from orbit to facilitate the large-scale recovery of troops.

Thunderhawks took off from the flight deck in groups, circled around the battleship after jumping off the deck, waiting for the formation of transport ships to form, and then rushed to the ground with the latter in escort formation.

The Forge Battlefield below the hive is in the final stage after the great war. Hundreds of Gray Knights, assisted by nearly 10,000 Tindalos legionnaires, have cleared away any remnants of chaos that may exist in Hive 22.

The Raven Guards of the Reviled and the soldiers of three other chapters are repairing on the ground. The transport ship that is about to land in the sky will take away the spoils of their trip - the batch of unknown crystals used to make planet killers.

The Thunderhawks who came together to escort them had another mission. The Scoundrels would ride on these airships to recover the wounded hidden in the rear, and search for possible lost persons on the battlefields where they had fought.

Talos and Arnold were not involved in this effort as their group was not fighting here.

They stood next to the queue of Gray Knights, waiting for the second wave of recovered ships to arrive.

After landing, this ship will take the two of them and the crystal samples obtained from Malus and fly directly to the deck of the more maneuverable frigate.

The two of them will also take this fast ship and be sent back to their respective battle groups and watch observation stations on the way back.

"Hey, he seems like a big deal."

Talos, who was freed from the tense atmosphere on the battlefield, was bored. He pointed his eyes at Calvin who was being guarded in the distance, and spoke to Arnold next to him through the internal communication channel.

"You can remove the auxiliary verb used in the singular person. Also, please be careful what you say. I don't want to see any comrades executed for careless words after the battle."

Arnold, who cherished words like gold, glanced at Talos and decided to ignore this lazy guy.

The friendship between them was limited to fighting. Apart from that, Arnold, who had a clean background and clear ideas, didn't think he had anything to talk about with this black shield.

If the war hadn't been over and they would have been separated after returning to the battle group, Arnold would never have bothered to say a word to this guy with unknown origins.

The roar of the transport boat's engine above their heads became increasingly clear, and the two of them turned on the energy switch of the magnetic boots in unison to avoid unsteady steps.

Under the huge wind pressure, the two saw Calvin waving to them in the distance, and then walking towards them out of the crowd.

The two hurriedly rushed over and met Calvin next to the ladder where the transport boat was lowered.

The latter obviously also knows where they will go from now on, and this is considered farewell to them now.

"I have seen your valor. By the Emperor! It is worthy of your blood and the glory of Macragge!"

Calvin's words made Arnold straighten his body. The affirmation from another Primarch would be a legendary experience in his entire life.

And this important affirmation was obtained through his long persistence and courage.

He has reason to be proud, and he deserves it.

"In the name of the Emperor! It is also an honor for us to fight alongside you!"

Arnold, who performed the Eagle Salute in the most standard manner, stood up and boarded the gangway after the ceremony.

Calvin also turned his gaze in the direction of Talos.

The latter also felt a rare sense of tension and expectation in this situation.

"I don't agree with your beliefs!"

Calvin's first words made Talos' heart suddenly sink, but then it lifted up again.

"But your behavior is commendable!"

Well, that’s the biggest difference between Calvin today and in the past.

After truly possessing a Primarch's mentality of "who would rather me" and the aura of a high-ranking person, with the support of the Gray Knights, Calvin now has a powerful charm that can determine his merits and demerits with just one word. .

He has been able to use his words to influence the mentality of a ten thousand-year veteran. Although the origin of this veteran is doubtful, this invisible influence is still evident.

"When I do things, I don't care about my heart, but when I look at people, I don't care about my heart."

In Talos's expression, which was so nervous that his mouth was dry, Calvin's big palm-like hand slapped him hard on the shoulder, and then amidst the noise of the thunderhawks descending from the sky, he clearly heard Galvin Wen whispered:

"You did a good job, I am very satisfied, and the Emperor is also very satisfied.

You did a bad job, but the merits outweigh the faults. I am willing to give you and your brother a chance.

But remember, it’s only once! "

After speaking, Calvin led many Gray Knights to turn and walk towards the Thunder Eagles while Talos looked shocked beyond words.

And he just stared in the direction of the Gray Knights who disappeared into the sky after boarding the Thunder Eagle. He stared for a long time, and Calvin's last look could still be clearly reproduced in his mind.

That look clearly said:

"I know where you are from! But I won't tell you! I only give you one chance. I will keep an eye on you!"

Talos suddenly felt that his body was a little out of control, and the sweat glands on his buttocks were functioning abnormally excited...

In the face of Arnold's urging voice from the cabin, Talos lowered his head and climbed up the gangway without saying a word, and then sat down opposite him with Arnold's puzzled eyes.

On the way back until he returned to the Death Watch observation post, his mind was still focused on a question that completely puzzled him:

"He deliberately mentioned the word 'his old brother'! When did he recognize me? Now that he recognized me, why didn't he kill me?"

The transport boat would not pay attention to his doubts, let alone catch up with Calvin's Thunderhawk to find out what was going on.

Besides, if he were to ask, would he dare?

He doesn't dare!

Then this doubt can only be kept in the heart. As for whether there will be a chance to ask clearly in the future, it can only depend on Talos's own destiny.

The outline of the transport boat became smaller and smaller from the perspective of the surface, and finally merged with the small dot representing the frigate in orbit, and then turned into a meteor and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​stars.

And Malus, who was searched three times by hundreds of Gray Knights and the entire Tindaros Army, also ushered in its fate that was decades overdue after sending the last survivor into space.

The huge bipolar cyclone torpedo was released from the highest orbit by the Revenant Redeemer at its ultimate range.

The location chosen by the warship to detonate was Industrial Nest No. 22 on the Malus continental plate, which is directly connected to the center of the earth.

This building that represents the essence of human industrial civilization once was so prosperous, but now its interior, which has been deeply polluted by chaos, reflects how dirty and irredeemable it is.

When Calvin first arrived, he considered taking back the planet and rejoining it under the rule of the Empire.

But a fierce battle with the Chaos Legion made him understand that the degree of pollution and desecration here was so deep that it had even spread to the depths of the earth, and it was completely worthless.

There can no longer be human habitation here, and even cold treatment such as isolation and blockade will not work.

The pollution deep in the earth's core will definitely resurface, and the lava flowing like blood under the earth's mantle will surely penetrate into every piece of land on the planet with this pollution.

The supreme punishment was finally delivered painfully after careful consideration, and a message from the Supreme Decree of Orpheus delayed the execution of the extermination order for a few minutes.

Under the witness of hundreds of thousands of soldiers aboard the Revenant Redeemer and Star Labyrinth, as well as tens of thousands of Imperial citizens recovered from all over the planet.

Calvin's unique and infectious voice once again echoed throughout the sector;

The double-stage cyclone torpedo penetrated the mantle of the earth, pointed all the way to the center of the earth, tore it apart from the inside out and burned the entire planet, which was like a natural disaster, also echoed his declaration:

“In the name of the Holy Emperor!

In the name of the Holy Human Empire!

In the name of Calvin, the Tribunal of the Human Empire - the high-ranking Lord Inquisitor!

I hereby declare excommunication!

I am here to sign the death certificate of this world!

I am willing to bear the forgotten sins here and take responsibility for all the souls that have not been saved!"
