Chapter 486: Elephant Saving Plan—Sister Silence’s Return Plan

Twenty thousand people, this number is not too much for an Astartes Legion.

However, for the Gray Knights, who have maintained the scale of the battle group since their establishment and until the 39th millennium, the existing recruitment, armament and even management systems are facing unprecedented challenges.

The agreement signed by Calvin on behalf of Titan and Mars has been implemented, but just to fill the personnel gap in this department, the Grand Master Council on Titan had to prioritize the training of troops in the first three years towards pharmacists;

The Krieg Industrial Alliance was not spared from the disaster. After the forging world of Deimos began operating at full power, the shortage of a large number of mechanical priests also made their human resources extremely tight.

Nearly a thousand priests belonging to the Order of Omen gave up their original establishment. After being screened through the sublimation ceremony, most of them successfully passed and were transferred to Titan to join Constantine's command.

With the production capacity in these two directions running at full capacity, nearly 10,000 new recruits have completed training on Titan in just the first ten years of full-speed expansion.

But this has led to a new problem, that is, the existence of the original body has greatly lowered the threshold for the Gray Knight's transformation, and it has also increased the success rate of the most critical soul stability test after the Gray Knight's transformation surgery.

In the process of multiple batches of transformation surgeries and training, Titan's requirements for psionic candidates have been repeatedly lowered.

After ten years of repeated confirmation and iterative summary, it was finally reduced to the simplest four:

First, men; (The natural sensibility of women is still the biggest weakness when fighting against Chaos. However, with the huge base of mortal soldiers in the War Council, after continuous sublimation, female soldiers have indeed begun to appear close to the minimum standard. special individuals)

Second, the body is healthy and there are no obvious congenital organ defects; (especially the limbs, spiritual energy is the reflection of the soul. Although limb defects can be cured through genetic repair and cloning technology, the defects in the soul during the growth process cannot be made up for)

Third, the age is appropriate; (under minors, the spiritual world is still highly malleable as long as it does not suffer huge damage)

Fourth, it has never experienced overdraft expansion of subspace. (Before being collected, he was not tempted by the subspace to overdraw his soul in exchange for unnatural growth of spiritual energy)

Before that, the psychic activity and stability that Titans were most concerned about were no longer issues that Titans considered because of the original body and the authority of order he possessed.

The direct result of the lowering of standards and the increase in the success rate of the training cycle is that in less than ten years, the psionic qualified candidates accumulated by the Gray Knight Grand Master Council in a hundred years have been exhausted.

Titan could not even wait for the Black Ship Alliance to be diverted, and began to take the initiative to conduct high-frequency interception and interception operations on its fleet outside the Solar Star Domain in the name of the Tribunal.

Although there was a precedent for this kind of action in the past, after such a high-intensity interception, the Star Torch Court, which is also a subordinate unit of the Star Language Court, still sued the Black Ship Alliance to the Star Language Court after encountering a huge psyker gap. internal monitoring mechanism.

The pressure of the chain was finally transmitted to the contemporary lords of Terra in the Astral Court. However, facing Calvin, who had already established a foothold in Terra at that time, and the Eye of the Empire behind him, this in a sense also aloof imperial giant. , and could only file a complaint to the Court of Thrones with a helpless attitude to express the pressure he was facing.

So the incident was finally placed in front of Calvin, but the pressure he faced was equally huge.

In his eyes, the two choices of "increasing revenue and reducing expenditure" do not require any entanglement at all. How to further expand the scale and efficiency of the Black Ship Alliance is the common choice of several people who have no selfish motives and confront each other out of official business.

Speaking of the Black Ship Alliance, Calvin's other proposal for the Imperial Army was right on the table:

Even before the Battle of Gian Moro, he had already mentioned to Trajan, the Marshal of the Imperial Army, that in the face of the current war environment in the empire, for the sake of the integrity of the battle structure of the Throne Court, he should respond to the issue of launching a recall policy for the Sisters of Silence.

Trajan did not give an answer at that time, and Calvin had no time to pursue it.

And when the Black Ship Alliance, the only unit besides the Throne Court that needs to be guarded by the Sisters of Silence's troops, needs to expand.

This problem that is blocking the Forbidden Army, and even indirectly blocking the expansion process of the Gray Knights Legion, cannot be ignored again.

In the regular meeting of the Terran Council of Government, the problems of both sides were frankly stated under the mediation of Trajan, the marshal of the imperial army;

After the communication at the external meeting, Calvin also had effective communication with the Marshal of the Forbidden Army in the Imperial Eye Tower inside the Throne Court.

Without outsiders present, Trajan frankly admitted the disgraceful role played by the Praetorians in the expulsion of the Sisters of Silence.

At that time, the Imperial Guard was still immersed in the sorrow of the Battle of the Webway and the Emperor's serious injury. The word "heartbeat" that belonged to the mortal army also rarely and humiliatingly appeared among the Adamantite Guards.

They ignored the Lord Terra's further seizure of imperial power, and when these mortals stretched out their trembling hands to the wings of the Imperial Army for the first time, they chose a regrettable and shameful silence.

It was in this context that the Sisters of Silence were betrayed by their most trusted partners. They were expelled from their temples by decrees from the Lords of Terra, and since then they have lost the protection of the empire and wandered across the vast territory.

Thousands of years have passed, and the Forbidden Army has long lost the turmoil it once had, but the Sisters of Silence have long since changed.

The communication channels of the temple system have long since disappeared, and the part under the Black Ship Alliance has never paid attention to the Imperial Army.

Considering the nature of this problem, which is a shameful betrayal, the Imperial Army, which has a natural moral debt, cannot use a strong tone to order these silent ladies.

The problem has been delayed and cannot be solved. However, if this problem is not solved, there will be a natural tactical flaw in the Wanfu Regiment if it wants to reappear on the imperial battlefield.

It is like a scar that cracks from time to time, making it impossible for successive leaders of the Forbidden Army to ignore but unable to change it.

It was not until the emergence of Calvin that the expansion of the Gray Knights became possible, making it possible to make up for the shortcomings of the Forbidden Army.

But Calvin’s value also exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Although the Custodes were optimistic enough about the expansion of the Gray Knights, the increase in expansion of the Legion by a Primarch still exceeded their most outrageous expectations.

Today's Gray Knights are no longer the endangered animals that have to be torn between rebuilding and canceling their designations after a war.

Their expansion process is so rapid that in the eyes of the Forbidden Army, the tactical positioning that was originally to supplement the shortcomings has become so ridiculous in front of today's Gray Knights.

As a result, the Sisters of Silence were once again needed, reminded, and placed on the agenda that the Imperial Guards had to deal with.

But this time, Calvin, as the most loyal and reliable ally of the Forbidden Army, gave a plan that Tula could not refuse:

At the right time, in the name of the Eye of the Empire, overturn the judgment of the Lords of Terra on the Sisters of Silence and re-recognize their status.

The Imperial Guards need to support Calvin's proposal at the Terran Council, and pass a decree in the name of the empire to re-recruit their group and return their original temples and weapons.

As a preliminary preparation for this operation, Calvin will re-select an envoy in his own name who can communicate with both parties.

As for the candidates...

Cassin, the man who originally brought Calvin back to Terra from the backwoods of the Empire.

This Calvin or Jiang Wen is the only survivor of the first group he came into contact with in this world.

Exactly one hundred and fifteen years later, I once again received an urgent order from Terra on the Black Ship Mariachi, and then after a long journey day and night.

With a confused look on his face, the first moment he set foot on the land of Terra, he was taken to the depths of the Throne Court by the Gray Knights from the Inquisition and the Eye of the Empire.
