Chapter 235 The War Crossbow in Charge

There are countless preparations for war, and Calvin, as the top person in charge, is naturally responsible.

The troops and resources in the entire sector are moving as planned towards the Canarian System, the center of the southern defense line in the sector.

And how far each of the units above the regiment level must travel in the prescribed schedule, and which batch of transport ships must be taken on the way;

Who is responsible for the reception of the transit planet or space station, and whether the materials prepared there are complete;

All of this is part of Calvin's work.

The huge subordinate staff work group has already assigned capable personnel to take charge of various departments in the star region;

However, the torrent of information composed of millions of troops and hundreds of times as much material ultimately required Calvin himself to make the judgment on the direction and stages.

Orpheus did not have such a level of combat experience. Calvin searched all over the star for generals, big and small, but could not find a reliable general capable of taking command of the former enemy.

Then he had to do it by himself. Calvin had no complaints and no time to complain.

The huge staff headquarters was established under his order, and its personnel were transferred from other positions and began to work.

Those materials and troops should be handed over at which military station according to what plan;

The next ship these troops will take forward will be able to arrive according to the schedule after setting off from the rear.

After the summary of these matters is completed, the battlefield trends at the grand strategic level presented can only be fully digested and understood by Calvin.

Calvin’s multi-threaded brain is given unprecedented consideration here.

Massive documents and data were processed in Calvin's official residence with the help of tens of thousands of staff from the General Staff Headquarters, and then were marked with a clear plan for the next stage before being sent forward.

What is war?

Calvin did not believe in the superstition of famous generals and the obvious color of personality worship under the exaggerated writing in epic poems.

In his eyes, war is a fierce and unreserved collision between two systems;

Only by clearly establishing the operating mechanism within the system before the war and providing sufficient redundancy can we lay sufficient foundation for victory after the war actually begins!

The upper and lower limits of battlefield information and soldiers' combat effectiveness have been clearly judged from an overall perspective.

Unless a miracle happens, not much will change.

Who has how many troops under his command, and what are the combat limits of these troops? As a commander, Calvin requires himself to know clearly!

He would never give a troop a mission beyond their limits, let alone make them make fearless sacrifices in the name of the Emperor!

The cold data represents the countless warriors who are pouring their blood for the empire!

He can accept cruel exchanges to achieve certain tactical intentions, but he can never accept letting those soldiers die fearlessly in despair because of his own incompetence!

In war, there is no mention of famous generals;

War is just about who makes fewer mistakes!

Calvin stood on the top terrace of the Hive, the capital of the Karnarian system, his body even more burly under the pale artificial moonlight.

Chief Adjutant Allen stood quietly ten meters away behind him. After working so hard for several days, he couldn't bear to disturb the Gene Father's occasional rest.

Buzz!

The berth on the distant star track lights up, and the huge mechanical arms like artificial islands unfold to both sides;

The new fleet has not yet entered the real universe, and the starport personnel who received the message are already preparing for their connection.

"Is that the fleet of the Dark Templar? Counting the time, they should be here."

Calvin looked at the distance in the dark space, the outline of the fleet that was still the size of a starlight just after breaking through the subspace barrier, and asked the people behind him.

"It's just a precursor." Allen responded in a low voice.

"The marshal of the fleet is still behind. This squadron only has their castle master in charge at this time."

"Well, it's not easy to receive..."

Calvin said meaningfully, and Allen behind him also looked strange.

The origins of this Astartes fleet were too special. For them to be able to respond to the call and come to help in the battle, Calvin felt mixed feelings and was not simply optimistic.

Although they were born in the Seventh Legion and wore black armor, in Calvin's eyes there was no essential difference between them and the bronze-armored guards roaming Terra;

Even to the extreme, Calvin believed that they were more in line with the spiritual core of the Seventh Legion than the Astartes standing on the Phalanx.

Their distaste for psykers mirrors that of their genetic father;

The enthusiasm and belief in the emperor cannot be understood by Calvin.

"How do you explain that you believe in the God of the Emperor but oppose the existence of all psychic beings?

Or, between the Mountain Formation and the Eternal Crusade, which ship is Dorne's favorite? "

Disrespectful words came from Calvin's mouth, which made Allen sweat-dropping and couldn't help but be grateful for the silence on the terrace.

Although Calvin seemed to be asking Allen behind him.

But just from the bitter expression on the latter's face and the way the former talked to himself, we can know that Calvin did not want to get the answer to this question from Allen.

This is not the first time that an Astartes Chapter has arrived unexpectedly. In the more than a month since the recruitment was launched in the Star Territory, three Astartes Chapters have appeared in the skies above Orpheus.

The death watch killing squad was summoned, which was within Calvin's expectations;

After all, the war against the aliens was the original mission of this special force, and the Storm Segmentum, as the star region most seriously invaded by the aliens, was also the base camp of the Death Watch.

Calvin could understand the arrival of the Archon of Orpheus.

From their names, we can know that the mother planet of the war group is in Orpheus. Once they get rid of the imperial conscription mission, they will naturally return to their mother planet to participate in the war here.

But the Black Templar...

Calvin expected the reason for their arrival, but he couldn't understand it.

This war group, which has a close contact with the state religion because of its faith, is the most special one among all non-founding war groups.

Their famous independence and mystery are not strange in the eyes of Calvin, who knows that the state religion is their ally and helps them cover up in the High Lords' Council;

But the other party's hatred of psychics has a long history, which is a tradition left by Dorn himself since the Legion era.

Even with the halo of the Inquisition, in Calvin's mind, the two sides are at best keeping their distance from each other, and they just don't see it.

He really can't understand why they would come all the way to Orpheus to help him.

There is something wrong, and he, who has a heavy responsibility, can't tolerate any accidents.

"Be prepared, it's a heavy responsibility, maybe I have to be a villain..."

Calvin shook his head and smiled bitterly to end his thoughts about these uninvited guests.

The defense system of the entire southern theater consists of four galaxies. Except for the core Canarion, the remaining three galaxies do not border each other and are in two perpendicular 90-degree directions.

From a distance, this huge defense line that stretches across the edge of the Hassan star zone is like a huge "ding".

Except for the Charles galaxy at the front end that is far away from the Hassan star zone, the remaining two galaxies - the Osfer galaxy and the Ferraris are like the two wings of the "ding", firmly guarding the two sides of Canarion.

The Osfer galaxy on the left is also one of the main attack directions of the Ork fleet, and the pressure it bears is as huge and heavy as Charles.

Most of the casualties in recent years have been caused by these two star regions, which are also jokingly called the "two corners of death" by the soldiers here.

The situation in Ferraris is much better. It is actually smaller in scale and the construction of the defensive fortress is simpler.

But these disadvantages cannot withstand its good luck. A subspace storm that has erupted since a thousand years ago is like a wall of sighs, blocking the direction of the Hassan star region.

There are only rare signs of Ork attacks here, and even except for the first three years of the war, no enemy attack alarm has been sounded.

Now the star region has begun to prepare for war, under the orders of Calvin and the efforts of the entire star region. Except for the Charles frontier, which has not been changed for strategic deception, these second-line or third-line node planets are already full of large and small star legions and Astartes warbands.

The battle rhythm outside the southern defense line remained the same, but all the imperial soldiers knew behind the scenes:

A defense line composed of three star systems was like a huge crossbow, slowly bending and accumulating power under Calvin's command, accumulating the potential energy of destroying the world;

Although they didn't know when the specific offensive would be launched, the increasing number of barracks on the planet and the warships that had already occupied the berths in the orbit were silently telling them:

The pace of war is approaching, perhaps tomorrow.

And in the eyes of Calvin, as a commander, the day of war is like a startup experiment after a systematic project is completed, which has long been marked in the plan for repeated discussion and survey.

He discussed for a long time with the few people who had the right to know the war plan, and they all agreed:

The day when the trigger of this crossbow was knocked down is the day when the Titan Legion arrives in his plan.
