Chapter 392 Wolf Fang and Wolf Blood
The Endless Crusade sets sail again, moving from one war to another just like its name.
But what is different from last time is that in order to reach the war zone as soon as possible, there are many fewer imperial warships fighting alongside it this time, only six warships.
The two strike cruisers of the Inquisition, the Black Doom and the sister ship Night Rain, formed its wings on both sides. The four frigates piloted by the Order of the Victory Blade of the Gray Knights Chapter acted as the fleet's close defense force.
After the entire fleet left the Terra orbital defense system, it went straight into the main channel of the third quadrant of subspace leading to the extreme star field.
Due to the location of the Gian Moro sector, it is still quite far away from the main channel.
So after discussions between Calvin and the commander of the fleet, they finally decided to jump out from the edge of the solar star field, resupply at the industrial world Betajamon 4, and then sneak into the subspace to spend the long period between the two star fields. No man's land.
It would be a long voyage, and since there would be no Imperial worlds to dock for supplies, the fleet would rarely make the jump out of the Warp.
This means that they will be trapped in a two-way block of information for a long time, and will not regain contact with the outside world until the fleet arrives at the industrial world near Plasdia.
But this is the plan that has been discussed and optimized, and Calvin has no other choice;
Taking the Valheim-Argiddon line would indeed save a lot of time, but the poor relationship between the Inquisition and a nearby war group made Calvin finally give up this option.
He did not want to get into unnecessary disputes and entanglements over the historical issues between the two sides when the war on the frontline was urgent.
But fate is so tricky. Sometimes the more you try to avoid trouble, the more trouble will come to you.
Not long after Calvin's fleet left, an urgent message from the Extreme Starfield was forwarded by the Astropaths from Antarctica to the Eye of the Empire.
The demon judge Varya Bridget, the rotating representative of the joint meeting, felt extremely worried about Calvin's future as soon as she read this information.
Without thinking, she directly activated the emergency contact authority around her to try to recall Calvin's fleet.
But the response given by the Star Language Court was that Calvin's fleet had entered a state of deep navigation, and no news would be spread out or flowed in until they floated to the shallow depths of the subspace again.
"The throne is upon you!" This lady, who was known for her strength and ability, rarely lost her opinion and couldn't help but chant the name of the emperor.
But under the pressure of the crisis contained in this intelligence, she did not hesitate for too long and ordered the communications branch to initiate a communication request for a joint meeting with Titan and the Tower of Hegemony.
"Good day, ma'am." With a burst of noise and snowflakes from the video signal, the two holographic projections in front of the Demon Judge lit up.
The images of Supreme Master Walden, who was getting older due to his busy schedule, and Marshal Valorian, who was also slightly tired, appeared in front of her after the emblems representing both sides lit up.
"Come on, ma'am, I'm guessing that the news that would allow you to use emergency contact rights would never be news that pleases me. Let's skip the meaningless red tape and focus our limited energy on solving the problem."
The words of the Supreme Master made the Marshal of the Forbidden Army frown slightly, but considering that the two men had cooperated for nearly a century before, he ignored the abruptness in the former's words.
"Second the proposal." The Marshal of the Forbidden Army said with as much care as gold.
His patience was an extremely expensive and extravagant product, and he was generous only to his master and certain people.
"Well..." Varya Bridget looked at the two of them, then took a deep breath and said:
"Fenris has entered the fray.
The reason was that the Gian Moro sector fleet, which fought alongside them in the Battle of Kaisenbrir last time, had a record of being gang-banged during the fleet naval battle.
During the post-war screening process, he was judged to be suspected of contamination by the demon judge Lisetta and was prepared to undergo a purification process. "
"Hiss..." Walden had a toothache, and Valorian was silent after hearing the news.
The former couldn't help but raise his head, cover his forehead and confirm in a low voice:
"conservative?"
Varya Bridget gave a slightly worse answer:
"Purists."
Then, she explained the term under the gaze of the Forbidden Marshal:
“You could argue that they are conservatives’ conservatives.”
...... The entire meeting fell into silence. In the quiet center hall of the Eye of the Empire, apart from the chirping of the servo instruments, only the wetware processing information was left moaning softly.
It was the Supreme Master who was the first to react. He thought that Calvin was rushing to the battlefield there, and he had to face the fangs of those beasts without knowing anything about it.
"What's the situation now?"
He confirmed with the Demon Judge, and mentally wondered whether the fleet and manpower around the original body could contain the development of the situation if things changed...
"It's probably going to be tough..." He made a judgment in his mind, and then began to calculate what troops could be mobilized in the surrounding area to provide nearby support.
Valya Bridget also gave the latest development of the situation at this time:
"They have detained the people who were sent by the Tribunal to deal with it, and are confronting the Exorcist battle group at the fleet assembly point in the Barlogo 9 system. The situation is very bad. Lisetta is not someone who will retreat due to threats. Conflict It can happen at any time."
"I immediately order the Minotaur Chapter to set off!"
After hearing this, Marshal Valorian of the Forbidden Army obviously understood the nature and threat level of the incident. He immediately cut off the communication signal and headed towards the conference hall of the Government Affairs Council.
The recruitment of the Minotaur Chapter was a condition he had agreed to with Calvin long ago, but the specific transfer order still required some formal procedures in the Senate.
He now only hopes that this war group can catch up with Calvin so that he can have enough manpower to control the development of the situation.
The Dark Templar cannot be expected to be a helping hand. Their fanaticism only targets aliens and has no interest in participating in the internal affairs of the empire.
And the power of the exorcist alone was completely unable to calm down those wolf cubs.
And if those descendants of Russ really pushed the situation out of control, then Calvin, who had no choice at that time, would inevitably let the sword in his hand be stained with the blood of the Space Wolves.
This is something he never wants to see, and he must do everything possible to prevent the situation from developing in this direction.
At this point in the meeting, only the Inquisitor and the Gray Knight were left, and after the Forbidden Marshal left, these two decided to go their separate ways and direct their resources there as much as possible.
"Elenjanus's first battle group has completed its mission. I will order him to leave some of his men to finish the work. The main force will immediately advance to the extreme star field!"
Walden thought for a while and came up with his own plan.
"The Fire Eagles and the Lamenters each have two companies, and they are on their way back from the Ghoul Star Cluster. I know you have the ability to mobilize them."
Varya Bridget also thought of these two companies of Astartes and informed Walden of their developments.
The two ended the video conference after a brief communication, but both the Supreme Master and the Demon Judge felt huge worries about the conflict that occurred in the direction of the Extreme Star Territory.
Is conflict really inevitable? You must know that no matter which side you are on, it is a valuable asset to the empire.
