Chapter 121 Relief and Answer

A strong fortress is never breached from the outside; its first cracks often come from within.

So is the soul.

Calvin's soul suffered such a strong blow at this moment, and his denial of the meaning of his existence made this hard soul that should not have any flaws let out a cry of grief.

Ice blue rain is a symbol of tears in the idealistic world, and a sad heart directly affects every aspect of this world.

God and his petitioners are always closely connected. Under such a vision, the residents of the crown city in Calvin's soul cannot remain indifferent.

When the sky darkened and the rain fell from the sky, every citizen of the Crown City stopped what they were doing at this moment and looked at the tall man with worry, their eyes also full of tears due to inspiration. Above the dome.

The crowd came out of the house, regardless of gender or age. Whether it was the countryside in the fields or the streets in the city, these souls who were indebted to Calvin appeared in the open spaces and prayed to their gods.

"Please forgive our original sin, please forgive our greed. Please stick to your original intention, and please see the beauty of human nature. Holy! Calvin! Distant foreign gods, please do not give up the entire human race for the sins in front of you. Destiny!"

Countless prayers rose from the ground and spread to the sky.

"No, no. I haven't given up. I don't dislike you. I know there are beautiful things in human nature, and I know the haze is just a small side. I will learn to face it. I know, I have always known..."

Calvin, who was sobbing, felt the prayers of these suffering souls in his soul. He did not want them to worry about him, so he explained incoherently.

The prayers became more intense, and they could feel the sun reappearing in the sky driving away the dark clouds in front of them.

And the people or gods they worry about are far stronger than they imagined.

But this makes them even more fanatical: their god is not a hard stone, not a greedy abyss, not a reflection of nothingness, not an eternal law of existence.

He is a living person, he has flesh and blood; he can be happy and even sad.

He will become optimistic again with their comfort, which makes them finally feel needed again after losing everything.

"Holy! Holy!"

"Holy! Holy!"

Passionate calls kept coming to Calvin's ears, making this simple warrior a little embarrassed.

After all, you would be embarrassed when a 24/7 personal flattery halo is placed on your head.

"Okay, okay. You guys are busy, I'll slip away..."

Unable to stay any longer, Calvin quickly broke away from the isolation of his soul, fearing that if he stayed a little longer, his brain would turn into an omelette tool out of shame. The shape may not look like it, but the temperature is estimated It's enough.

When Calvin's consciousness returned to reality, the first thing he saw after opening his eyes was Yule's worried face.

"Okay, okay, where there is light, there will naturally be darkness. This should not be the reason for you to deny the light." He comforted Calvin in this way.

"Yes, I understand. I understand everything..." Calvin, who had regained consciousness, was a little embarrassed, and he was apologizing for his immaturity.

Yes, he should have understood this a long time ago, or in other words, his life history should have made up for this lesson a long time ago.

Isn’t true love just seeing all its shortcomings and ugliness but still loving it?

Will he throw himself into Chaos because of a moment of grievance? Won't!

Will he give up his ideals and join the enemy chief because of a temporary setback? Won't!

Will he give up his mission, his father, his people, bow to chaos, and indulge his ambitions just because of the evil words of one or two people? Won't! (I’m not mirroring anyone, you can figure it out yourself.)

Yule looked at the young man in front of him with relief. The other person's will recovered faster than he expected.

His mind is also surprisingly perfect with no inherent flaws.

This is so rare, especially in this world dominated by darkness and despair, it is really as precious as a pearl!

Just from this point of view, he wanted to thank this young man's parents.

Ability and talent do affect a person's upper limit, but the flawless personality brought by the native family is more able to withstand the torrent of fate again and again.

In comparison, Yule prefers the latter.

From his perspective, it is true that not every Gray Knight needs to undergo such a test, and not every Gray Knight needs to know about these dark side affairs of the human empire.

But Calvin is different. He is not a simple warrior. He has a higher future and more people have greater expectations for him. ,

Therefore, his mind will never allow any gaps that can be offset by admonitions and explanations in advance; his will will never go to extremes just because of one or two such things, thereby giving those dirty existences any possible reason. Take advantage of the opportunity.

In the history of the empire, there have been enough examples of young eagles like him who were supposed to soar in the sky, but due to various accidents and lack of knowledge, were eventually led to despair and destruction by chaos.

He could not allow the man in front of him, who had placed the expectations of the entire Gray Knights Chapter, to make the same mistake again.

"Are you feeling better? Let's continue talking about things on the ground." Yule continued the topic and said to Calvin.

"Okay." After recovering, Calvin once again savored the details of the whole thing. He discovered that the key person in this dispute was not present.

Whether it is the senior officials in the Tribunal who initiated this conspiracy and gave the frontline figure, the Inquisitor Eranti, the power, or the Chapter Master in the Goliath Chapter who can really decide the fate of the Chapter, they are all hidden behind the scenes. Behind the whole thing, their faces were not revealed.

What's going on over there with the Goliath Chapter? Will they succumb to the Inquisition because of these two companies of Astartes?

"Where is their motive? Why are they so sure to do this?" Calvin followed this logic and found the crux of the problem.

"Because the current situation of the Goliath Chapter is not that good." Yule looked at the distant Federman 4 planet and slowly told what he knew about the situation.

Among the forces currently available to the Goliath Chapter, these two companies are really very important.

They just experienced a major setback a hundred years ago.

During a space hulk exploration operation with the Forge World of Grea, they were ambushed by an entire shipload of Genestealers.

Under heavy siege, they finally retrieved the mission items needed by the Mechanicus - an ancient STC chip and accompanying equipment under fierce fighting.

But the price was heavy. In order to ensure the smooth transfer of items, they lost their core strength, including the station commander and the entire first company of elite veterans, during the post-break operation.

If the think tank chief hadn't been delayed by something at that time, the normal inheritance of their war group would have been almost ruined there.

"So?" Calvin asked.

"So as a product of extreme army building, they were far away from their parent group, the Blood Angels, and finally chose the Storm Star Territory to make their home. They didn't have much wealth to begin with.

After this setback, excluding the new recruit companies, they only had less than 5 companies at their disposal. And there, half of their troops were now staying. "Yule pointed to Federman 4, which could already be seen in the distance, and explained to Calvin.

"In this way..." Calvin finally got a glimpse of the two parties involved in this incident that spanned most of the empire from an overall perspective.
