Chapter 117 The Unexpected Truth
"Indeed, you should have an impression of this regiment."
As the captain of the last SATA galaxy mission, Tabers is familiar with Calvin's experience.
"After your last mission, it was Grand Master Aidan who notified their people to recover the power armor and other equipment." Tabers replied.
"Ha! It's really them!" Calvin almost jumped up. It doesn't matter if others don't know, but as the carrier of the souls of billions of people in his mind, he is always thinking about these guys!
"Do you know them?" Jules was a little puzzled by Calvin's obvious reaction. Logically speaking, he should not have the opportunity to meet the warriors of this regiment.
"Of course, there is a little story between us... well, it's not important. Give me their information. I hope to know as much as possible about them. I want to know their combat mode, common tactics, equipment and their gene seeds."
Calvin answered Captain Jules' question in an attitude that made Inquisitor Rhine feel dangerous.
He felt it necessary to give a clear warning to this special arbitrator. His obviously different height from that of ordinary Astartes and the gorgeous Terminator power armor on his body made him know that this young man must have an extraordinary influence on the Grey Knights.
"I need to warn you! Young Arbitrator! Any wealth of the Empire belongs to the Emperor and the entire human empire! You have no right to use it privately or destroy it!"
"Got it! I promise not to start first." Calvin answered neatly.
But such an answer made Rhine even more worried.
He looked at Jules, who had the highest rank on the scene: "So about this assistance?"
"We agree in principle." Captain Jules took up the question of the Inquisitor, but was not completely sure.
"But given that your preset target is two Astartes, we require independent command. We must have the right to open fire directly without application when necessary."
This is the bottom line condition given by Captain Jules. If we can talk, we will talk. If we can't talk, we will break up.
"......Okay." Inquisitor Rhine had no reason to refuse this reason, but thinking of the words of the arbitrator just now, he insisted on emphasizing his position again:
"I will keep a close eye on your words and deeds. If there are unnecessary casualties, I also reserve the right to trace back afterwards."
"This is your right, I have no objection. In addition, the room prepared for you is in place, you can go and rest. I will send someone to call you when you arrive there."
Jules issued a tactful order to expel the inquisitor.
And Rhine did run all the way without a chance to rest, so he left the bridge without saying anything more.
"Can you tell me now? Where did their seeds come from?" Calvin asked Jules again after the inquisitor left.
"You can tell me, but I may need to confirm another thing with you first." Jules said.
"You said?" Calvin replied.
"You want to find an opportunity to hold those malicious warriors accountable for the civilians on SATA No. 1?" Jules looked into his eyes and asked.
"......Yes." Calvin answered affirmatively.
"Then I have to say that you may be disappointed." Jules said decisively.
"Why? You don't support me?" Calvin asked.
"Of course not, but you may need to know this fact first: in a sense, these malicious warriors are independent entities in the form of companies. You can't blame this company for the company's affairs."
Jules explained patiently.
"I don't understand what you are saying?"
Calvin didn't understand at all. And Jules also understood his doubts, and he patiently told Calvin:
"This is a, um, very special warband. They don't have a unified source of gene seeds."
"Then?"
"Their establishment and secondary establishment were born out of some transitional needs. And most of their seeds come from the seeds left by the loyalists in the defected legions."
"Then?"
"They are the abandoned children of the empire, and no complete supply has been issued to them since their birth."
"... Then."
"They are in the form of companies, using different seeds and performing different tasks. Apart from belonging to a warband in name, there is almost no connection."
"Then?" Hearing this, Calvin almost understood what Jules meant, but he still didn't believe it.
"The remains of the company you saw at SATA No. 1 are all the members of that company. They have paid the price for their actions. No one in that company survived." Jules looked at Calvin and slowly told the truth.
"This is also why the Inquisition did not pursue them afterwards."
Tibers had been silent for a long time. After Jules finished speaking, he added this sentence quietly.
He summarized all the combat actions and external behavior of this regiment since its establishment:
"These malicious warriors may indeed be a group of villains. But if you understand their origins and think about the Empire's attitude towards them, it will not be difficult for you to understand why they tend to be so selfish in their fighting style. They do have their own sins in the past. But if you want to use the matter of SATA No. 1 to hold these malicious warriors here accountable, it is indeed a kind of anger."
"…………What about their chapter leader? He must be responsible for this, right?"
"When communicating with the outside world, each of their company commanders has the identity of the chapter leader."
"…………"Calvin was silent. He found it difficult to understand the existence of the malicious warriors, or what he found even more difficult to accept was the Empire's unscrupulous operation in the establishment of the chapter.
How could such a chapter exist? There is not even a unified seed?
Are they just a pure hodgepodge?
Or have they been positioned as a consumable since the establishment of the army?
Without even a unified gene seed, how could they have a unified tactical and equipment demand with such a structure?
How did Terra supply these malicious warriors? It is impossible, right?
So, there was never any supply, right?
This is why he saw on SATA that a malicious warrior was covered with various accessories from Mark III to Mark VI, just like a nesting doll.
He thought these malicious warriors had some strange habits. Now he finally understood that they really couldn't even get a full set of standard power armor...
"So, that company is all the malicious warriors born from that seed?" Calvin still asked unwillingly.
"Yes, their fifth company. According to the records of the Tribunal, the gene seed came from the Iron Warriors. This company-based genetic inheritance has completely paid the price for its greed and tyranny, and has permanently destroyed itself on that planet." Jules said with some heaviness.
"All?" Calvin confirmed again.
"All, including the pharmacist. They don't have a second pharmacist. All 98 people, all died on that planet."
"What the hell is this!" Calvin couldn't control his emotions for a rare time, and punched the wall with his fist.
The huge noise and the cracked and deformed steel plates helped him regain some sanity, but he still couldn't let go of the depression in his heart.
"These beasts, are they just getting away with it?" Calvin said bitterly.
He hated the bad luck of these malicious warriors, which made him have no chance to carry out his revenge;
But he hated even more those who allowed the Astartes warband, which was clearly created for consumption, to appear. They were the culprits of this tragedy.
