Chapter 110 Conversation and Handover
"Has the Brotherhood of Prophet been keeping an eye on me?"
This was the first question Calvin asked after the two of them sat down. The Soul Redeemer's arrival was so timely that he was surprised and had a new evaluation of the Brotherhood of Prophet's ability.
As for the real enemies of the Grey Knights, the demons from Chaos, he had a more pessimistic prediction.
Under such precise prophetic interference, the Grey Knights were still running around the universe to plug the gaps that kept appearing. So how much would this situation change even with his joining?
Captain Jules' answer to Calvin's question made him a little disappointed and a little optimistic.
"Don't underestimate your importance too much, and don't overestimate the ability of the Brotherhood of Prophet."
This was Jules' answer, and Calvin also understood the actual ability limit of the Brotherhood of Prophet after the subsequent explanation.
As for Calvin's whereabouts, the Titans had already conducted a data search inside the Demonic Inquisition as soon as they received the delivery record of the Supreme Decree.
After learning that there was no record of any internal personnel's activities, the Soul Redeemer was immediately sent here to meet.
After all, from the perspective of the Brotherhood of Prophecy, the information about Calvin in the etheric ocean is no different from what the Chaos side can know.
They don't have any marks or records of Calvin's real name, so they can only make vague guesses about Calvin's fate, such as he may appear at a certain place at a certain time.
If there is a difference, then knowing Calvin's existence itself is the biggest difference.
Regardless of whether Calvin appears in this operation, receiving and recovering a Grey Knight strike team without a ship is one of the daily tasks of the Blade of Victory.
As for the prediction of Chaos Demons, the power of the Brotherhood of Prophecy is much more appropriate.
After thousands of years of accumulation, the countless demon real names recorded in the Titan Library are always particularly sensitive to their masters.
Relying on the records of these real names, the Brotherhood of Prophecy always knows the demons who attempt to realize their conspiracies in the real universe, and often knows about their conspiracies before they unfold.
But the empire's territory is so vast that there are almost endless demons trying to sneak from the warp to the real universe every moment, so the Grey Knights can only turn a blind eye to most of these behaviors under the limited manpower.
They will only submit the most threatening possibilities to the desks of the Grand Masters after screening, and the rest can only be handed over to the mortal part of the Inquisition, which is also one of the main contents of the Inquisitors' daily work, and the rest comes from their own prophecy department.
"So what is our next plan? Return to the mother planet Titan?" Calvin asked.
"It depends on your own wishes." Jules shrugged and said.
In fact, unless there is a clear mission direction, the whereabouts of the Grey Knights strike cruiser that goes out to perform patrol missions are usually responsible to the higher-level war zone commander, that is, the Grand Master on duty. In the remaining main time, the choice of missions and the movement of troops are all decided by the strike team's responsible arbitrator, that is, Calvin himself.
In the absence of a specific demon inquisitor to initiate an active request for assistance, the Demon Inquisition usually sends intelligence reported by various locations in the encrypted channel from time to time.
The missions are all within the scope of the strike team's choice. If a Grey Knight chooses to take on these missions on the way back after completing their mission because they are not happy with the battle or for other reasons, then the local Demon Inquisition staff waiting for assistance will be surprised to find a group of gray cans falling from the sky and appearing in front of them.
Of course, considering the Grey Knights' usually full schedule, this situation will not happen too often.
But if you really see these cruisers that are different from ordinary Astartes appearing in orbit, please remember to arrange a decent funeral for yourself in advance, because even if you are lucky enough to survive the next battle, then losing your memory with all the survivors on the entire planet is actually not that different from death.
After all, when a person's social relations and blood relations no longer exist due to permanent amnesia, there is really no difference between this person being alive and dead.
Calvin also clearly knows his position. In a sense, he once had a moment of negative emotions for his ominous identity.
But just like what he heard when he was chatting with Terlinka Lyudmila, who personally executed the extermination order of three worlds on Titan:
"It is not us who brought disaster here, but the disaster came first, and then we eliminated it."
And another sentence from this emotional but resolute judge made him remember it even more vividly:
"There are always people who question my right to exterminate billions of people, but if you really understand, you will know that I just don't have the right to let them live."
Calvin deeply agrees with this. The Grey Knights have never been ruthless people. They just deeply understand how this evil existence is pervasive pollution and distortion after thousands of years of contact with Chaos.
There are enough examples of the entire planet's population being destroyed because of a moment of weakness in the database of the Inquisition, so many that neither this dark warehouse nor the hearts of the Grey Knights can let any new old examples happen again.
If someone tries to move himself with his false fraternity and then stop the mission of the Grey Knights.
Then Calvin doesn't mind sending them to see the sun that first took him in. In Calvin's philosophy, he is only responsible for the entire human race and that sun.
He doesn't need their understanding, because the luxury of communication between people in this cruel universe is understanding.
Right and wrong will be determined at that time.
The next journey is much simpler. Under Calvin's command, the Soul Redeemer begins to rush to the nearest star region.
There they will get more timely and reliable information from the Demon Tribunal, instead of the fragmentary reports that all the news must be transferred through the astropaths at various levels because of the remote location.
Where is Jules? Where is our great Captain Jules?
As a veteran with hundreds of years of service experience, he naturally has the valuable quality of knowing people and assigning them to the right positions (a master of slacking off).
Not long after Calvin boarded the Soul Redeemer, he handed over the command of the entire ship to this arbitrator who didn't even have time to rest.
In the name of being responsible for the entire regiment and thinking about the future of the regiment, the veterans have old injuries and need to get enough rest, the newcomers need more opportunities to exercise, Calvin, you must grasp it, etc...
Calvin declined these nonsense, and he said, having taken over the command reluctantly:
Either let me work, or let me listen to your nonsense.
So our Captain Jules turned around and left without saying another word. His agile steps and agile skills made Calvin behind him angry.
After Captain Jules left to recuperate (slack off), Calvin was the only one left on the bridge except for Tabers and Bishop Klein who had not been seen for a long time.
Calvin, who had nothing to do, actually wanted to learn from Captain Jules' behavior and leave.
Out of a sense of responsibility, he could not allow himself to leave his post within 24 hours of accepting the command of a cruiser.
But he really had nothing to do. The course of the ship had been set, and there was no need to discuss it.
In the previous battle, he only touched the area where he was, and he was not clear about the details in other directions, and it was not convenient to find someone to review.
The Grey Knights were still resting after boarding the ship. Whether it was Golden, Tariq, or the veteran of the Interceptor, Alexi, they had fallen into a long-lost sleep after the purification ceremony. Calvin could not disturb them.
Bored Calvin looked at the still busy Tibers and Bishop Klein. The silence of the two at work really made him not know where to start a conversation.
He suddenly understood Jules's running behavior. He still had a lot of days to go...
One update, votes.
