Chapter 313 Seeds and Growth

Leaving Ophelia was not the end of a battle for Calvin, nor was it even a break from high-intensity official business.

Theoretically, there is no limit to the life cycle of the Astartes, and this is even more true for the Primarchs.

Calvin's life was so long that he could not see the end, which inevitably made his concept of time far away from the cognition of mortals. And his increasingly inhuman physical fitness also made Calvin move forward faster on this fork in the road.

In his eyes, handling official business without rest for several days was already a commonplace matter; fighting with his offspring for several days on the training ground was also a choice for him to release the inexhaustible energy in his body.

But his main time was still occupied by the visible increase in official documents, which was the inevitable change brought about by the Grey Knights starting to operate independently as a legion; it was also the inevitable rights and obligations of him as a Terra Lord of the "Emperor's Shadow" and the huge department he governed and managed.

"I'm too busy to die." Although the source of this sentence has an indelible dark stain.

But the position of that person and what he did made this sentence seem extremely true to any Terra lord.

At this time, the veterans of the Council of Grand Masters of the Grey Knights had already delegated most of the power of legion construction to Calvin himself, and they themselves led the previous generation of Grey Knights to run around the territory of the empire.

Of course, they were not fully entrusted. Among the senior officers in the core circle, Jules, as the one with the best personal relationship with Calvin, should have been the best candidate to assist Calvin. (After Aidan's death, if he had not died in Orpheus, he would have been the best choice for this position.)

But the enemies of the empire would not understand their difficulties. There were also wars in Orpheus and other directions in the Storm Star Region.

At the same time, the Grey Knights were carrying out internal construction and transformation and fulfilling external functions. At this juncture, every senior officer was a precious resource.

Under the circumstances of necessity, Jules was finally left in the direction of Orpheus, leading 150 previous generation Grey Knights under his command, and became the person in charge of the edge war zone of the Storm Star Region (and the fire captain).

The arrangement of personnel was so tight that when Calvin's legion construction officially began and the official documents between Titan and Titan II became more and more complicated, he looked around and found that only Gavins was left by his side.

But this guy was a guy who could not be relied on.

You know, the position of the Templar Knights in the war group has always been more than just a champion swordsman. On the contrary, if you want to become a Templar Knight, the basic condition is to become a Grey Knight with no flaws in personal force and battlefield command ability.

Then what? Then these Templar Knights who become a glorious member of the Victory Hall will serve as adjutants to the Grand Masters and Captains of various orders all year round.

The purpose is of course to protect the former, but it is also a duty of the Templar Knights to learn the management of the war group through long-term interaction with the former and learn from them to be promoted to the real high-level of the war group, the Captain, in the future.

Gavins's martial arts and command ability on the battlefield are unquestionable, but that's all.

His operational and management abilities were permanently stagnant when he was still an arbitrator, and he himself had no intention of strengthening his abilities in this area.

This was his own choice, otherwise he would not have served more than a dozen high-ranking members of the Chapter and stayed in the Victory Hall for two hundred years without being promoted, and finally became one of the high-ranking leaders of the Knights Templar.

For this old girl who could not get married, Calvin could certainly trust him in battle - entrusting the younger generation to him, but if he was asked to manage the operation and development of a new company, it would not be a responsible choice for him or the company.

In the newly arrived official documents, the first batch of recruits on Titan had arrived in the Feldman system. The think tanks of the Third Order also began to reorganize and train these recruits in the psychic law on Titan II.

This is the last link of the basic training required of recruits. After completing this training, these recruits can leave the centralized training of unified standards and start targeted practice in various directions according to their own preferences.

In view of this, there is a clear shortage of equipment and training grounds on Titan II.

After the technical sergeant's comprehensive assessment, Calvin has issued a transfer order to the Titan mother planet according to the technical sergeant's work results.

A large number of equipment and supplies are being transported to Titan II in an orderly manner via the warships of the Second Order.

But this is just the beginning. Apart from the demand for supplies, the real difficulty of legion construction lies in the transformation of strategic and tactical positioning.

The organization and specific combat framework of the new legion must be transferred to the direction of large-scale frontal advancement while maintaining the original special operations functions.

The organized use of armored vehicles and joint operations with the Titan Legion and the Tindaros Legion, and even the coordination with the naval fleet above the orbit, are all capabilities lacking in the new legion.

These inter-service cooperation and cross-unit joint command are blank at the command level within the legion.

Fortunately, Calvin has a lot of "himself" to rely on.

These experiences that only exist in the Great Crusade era are so precious, and their "threshold" is so expensive that the current empire is no longer able to reproduce them;

The way they were preserved was so strict that as the veterans of the Legion era gradually died, even the founding Chapters could only make superficial guesses based on written records.

But Calvin was different. His service background in different Legions in many timelines was his own personal experience;

His combat style and the logic behind the Legions of the Great Crusade era also came from his own personal experience.

This memory gradually summarized in the battles with various enemies of the Empire gave him a deep and instinctive understanding of the organization and combat logic between the Legions.

And it was also with this understanding that he clearly knew the strategic and tactical advantages of each Legion and the combat environment they were good at, and also made him clearly understand the enemies and battlefield environments that each Chapter feared the most under its powerful surface.

This is the wealth bestowed by the Emperor on mankind, but it was lost in the vast history; this is the code of conduct forged with the blood of all loyal Astartes warriors, but now only Calvin can inherit it in its entirety.

These memories were opened from the depths of his soul under his deliberate recollection, and turned into text and regulations under his summary and induction, and were transmitted word by word to the Grey Knights' Legion Will.

The advantages of the Legion Will were used to the extreme here, and every Grey Knight on the Angel of Punishment benefited greatly.

Their psychic talents allowed them to avoid inefficient language communication and achieve the most essential mutual understanding through psychic links. The judgments of various situations in the complicated tactical details and regulations and the reasons behind them were also quickly transmitted to the brains of every Grey Knight under this communication method.

They learned while on duty, learned while training, and even when they were dormant, they put their semi-conscious consciousness into the cluster of Legion Will.

Calvin's various thoughts on the Legion's battles were absorbed and absorbed by these hungry souls in this context. During the long time they were heading to the Horison V Star Zone, the Grey Knights were transforming towards a complete and mature Legion era combat thinking on a daily basis.
