Chapter 233: Resolution in the Storm, and the Rise of the Star Region

Although the cardinals looked at Saratan with puzzlement, they still raised their hands hesitantly and followed him when he looked back.

Navy representative Samir Tai was the first to raise his hand as the other participating forces;

The victory news of the northern theater of Orpheus has spread throughout the star field. The decisive battle with the Chaos Fleet and the victory are a strong encouragement to all the navy.

The high-ranking officers and families of the navy more or less know the significance of Calvin in this battle. As the son of the Admiral High Lord, he is naturally one of them.

(The Admiral High Lord is not the High Lord of Terra. The full name of the navy representative in the High Lord Council of Terra is - the Emperor personally awarded - the Supreme Lord of the Imperial Navy, the Grand Marshal, not the Admiral High Lord. There is also an honorary military rank as a gap between the two, which will not be elaborated here.)

As one of the countless sons of the fleet admiral, he is very interested in going to Orpheus to participate in the war.

This opportunity to fight under the High Lord is rare. Whether it is resources or manpower, he is very optimistic about Calvin's influence.

He was in his prime and had neither connections nor qualifications;

The only thing he lacked, or what prevented him from becoming independent from his family and becoming a glorious captain of the Imperial Navy, was the undisputed merit brought by a war;

If he could rely on the merits he made in this war to become independent from his family and become the commander of a warship, it would be a great help to his future.

Arina Yang, the Grand Master representative of the Death Watch in the Storm Star Field, also silently raised his right hand covered with ceramic steel armor. He had no interest in the entanglements behind these political affairs;

But any campaign that could integrate the scattered resources of the empire on a large scale and launch a powerful attack on the aliens under the leadership of the high-ranking officials was something they would definitely support.

The representatives of the Ministry of the Interior and the Military Command exchanged glances with each other implicitly. The failure brought about by the direction of the meeting made them stunned, but they were unwilling to give up.

Led by Saratan, the Supreme Administrator under the Holy See, the vast majority of the cardinals among the representatives of the Order have raised their hands in agreement;

The only ones who have not expressed their opinions are a few cardinals whose jurisdictions are adjacent to Terra and are influenced by the Archbishop of Terra, and two representatives of the Mechanicus who have never spoken.

Their opinions are extremely important, among which the opinions of the representatives of the Forge Generals of the Martian faction are not expected, because the relationship between Mars and the Inquisition has always been close;

But as the direct recipients of Calvin's edict, the attitude of the representatives of the Forge World of Reza will directly affect the final result of the meeting.

But the Reza World cannot resist the call from a Supreme Lord alone. They have also been famous for their prudent and steady diplomatic style in the past ten thousand years.

Although Calvin's direct naming of their Titan Legion was abrupt, without the help of other allies, both of them knew that the biggest possibility was that Reza would agree to Calvin's request and then privately propose other conditions afterwards.

They pushed each other in the staggered glances, hoping that one of them would stand up and become the first person to clearly express opposition in the meeting.

In the end, it was the natural dependence of the Astra Militarum on the Ministry of the Interior in terms of material allocation that ultimately put it at a disadvantage.

Under the urging of the allies, the Astra Militarum representative had to cough lightly, straighten his uniform and prepare to stand up to object.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The bell outside the meeting room rang, indicating that there were temporary matters that needed to be sent to the meeting room.

The representative of the Military Order, who was stuck halfway, shrugged helplessly to the allies beside him, indicating that they should be patient.

A gap appeared next to the huge steel door of the meeting room.

Under the gaze of everyone, a mechanical priest wearing a reddish-brown robe bowed his head and bent down, and with quiet steps, he delivered a data pad to the table of the representative of the Riza World. (The uniforms of the Mechanicus are all red, but the specific shades of the color vary according to the faction. The most famous one is the iconic bright red of Mars, and the others have their own expressions.)

"Please, wait a moment!"

The ruling sage Trinity Solomon from the Riza Forge World raised his native arm to indicate that the meeting was temporarily suspended.

On the power backpack behind him, there is a mechanical arm dedicated to data communication. It is changing its form while buzzing, converting the interface into the same standard as the data board.

"Hmm... Planet Killer design blueprint, and samples of three test ships with different construction progress?"

In his mind, he began to calculate quickly based on this unexpected bargaining chip and the gains and losses brought by the transaction;

At the same time, another language logic area in his brain also started to communicate with the Martian mechanical priest sitting next to him.

The other party had obviously received this document in advance and readily agreed to the communication initiated with Solomon.

Under the gaze of a group of participants, the two of them started the spectrum-level encrypted communication without paying attention to others. Green and bright yellow lasers shot from their eyes, and the huge amount of information loaded in them was exchanged with amazing efficiency and analyzed and confirmed.

3 seconds, it only took three seconds.

The representatives of the top five forging worlds in the two Mechanicus completed a huge amount of information exchange and countless strategic mutual trust under various agreements known only to the Mechanicus.

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Sage Solomon ignored the request of the representative of the Military Affairs Department to speak. Under the latter's twitching expression, he announced to everyone in a cold but firm tone:

"The world of Reza feels the sincerity from the Tribunal and is willing to contribute its meager strength to this battle under the command of the Supreme Lord Calvin!"

As his voice settled, the mechanical priests of the Mars faction and the remaining cardinals also raised their hands in solidarity.

"It's over~!"

The faces of the two mortals with evil intentions were ashen. Knowing that the situation was over, they sat in their seats for a long time without speaking.

But the agenda would not wait for them. After everyone had expressed their opinions, the only two people left seemed so abrupt.

After the two were quiet for a long time, they finally recovered their consciousness from the silent gaze of everyone.

After realizing that they were becoming increasingly isolated, the two of them had to brace themselves up and respond to these scrutinizing glances with extremely forced smiles:

"The Military Command/Interior Ministry is honored to participate in this battle and will unconditionally obey the command of the Supreme Lord!"

The meeting to determine the policy direction of the Storm Star Territory for the next few decades has finally come to an end.

At the same time, corresponding to the various forces participating in this meeting, forces with their own backgrounds began to move in the direction of Orpheus from various places in the distant Storm Star Territory.

Second update, please vote.

Also, I just got out of quarantine, and my production capacity has been a little stretched recently, so I apologize for that.
