Chapter 367 Urgent! Urgent!

"Okay, I take back what I said before..." Calvin smiled and did not argue with these fanatical admirers of the Emperor.

With his current status and resources, if he wants to do something for these battle sisters, there is a better way that the other party cannot refuse.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

In the twentieth year after Calvin returned to Terra, after the proposal of the Imperial Church and the promotion of the Inquisition, the Terra Senate finally approved:

The three major battle sister orders with their headquarters in the Holy Monastery of Ophelia all received a precious quota for the establishment of a branch.

At that time, the Bloody Rose Battle Sister Order, which had recovered from the damage to the organization, received double favor from the Imperial Church and the Inquisition:

The Imperial Church rarely showed its generosity.

They promised to pay all the expenses of this new order during the establishment of the army, and guarantee their future recruitment and garrison world allocation.

The Inquisition was even more silent.

In a dark night that no one knew, a mechanical priest who claimed to be from Krieg walked down from the starport of their garrison world.

On behalf of the huge industrial consortium behind him, he signed a 300-year equipment supplement agreement with the Battle Sisters.

The price was one throne coin. Well, a very expensive price...

Of course, these are all later, and now Calvin, after finishing the conversation with the Battle Sisters, turned his inquiring eyes to the captains of the Ultramarines and the Imperial Fists.

The former, with the strong strength of the Ultramar 500 Worlds, is not short of industrial consumables such as weapons and equipment.

So from Stuart's highly emotional and politically savvy conversation, Calvin, on behalf of his Holy Hammer Order, expressed that he owed the Ultramarines a valuable favor.

And at the former's enthusiastic invitation, Calvin promised that if he had time, he would personally go to the Ultramar 500 Worlds to "see" the glory of Robert Guilliman, the Emperor's Son, the Imperial Regent, the Holy Primarch, and the Lord of the Thirteenth Legion.

As for whether the meeting between Calvin and the Ultramarines was really a simple visit and "pilgrimage" as they had agreed on the surface, only they themselves knew...

Turn your eyes to Hornthorn, the captain of the Imperial Fists.

Although Calvin had dealt with these Sons of Dorne more than once, he had made sufficient mental preparations before this conversation.

But when it came to contact with this group of "stone men", Calvin still lamented their stubbornness and seriously doubted whether the genes of the Empire's "Final Wall" were too strong.

Otherwise, why was every Son of Dorne he had met so introverted and not good at talking...

"We have nothing to say... Well, if we have to say, the conscription incident on Terra is even."

After saying this, the high-ranking commander of the Imperial Fists turned around and left in the astonishment of Calvin and Stuart.

"This..." Even if Stuart had a high emotional intelligence, he was at a loss for words by Hornthorn's operation.

He looked at Calvin for help, hoping that this "giant" who was not only rising in the imperial power system, but also about to have his own strong influence in the Astartes group, would not be offended by Hornthorn's frankness.

And as far as he knew, the current situation of the Imperial Fists was far from the ideal shown outside.

They suffered heavy losses in the "Beast War".

After the launch of the "Final High Wall Agreement", they won the war against the orcs with difficulty by concentrating the power of all the "Imperial Fists" war groups.

But as a price, the Imperial Fists' war group headquarters - that is, this direct force from the Seventh Legion in the Great Expedition era, has completely lost the last spark with the death of the last blood of the war group, the second captain Kurland.

Yes, this initial war group is no longer the war group left by Rogal Dorn.

Today's Imperial Fists is composed of the Astartes of the Paragon Fist with a shameful record of rebellion, and the gene seeds donated by other "Imperial Fists" Astartes war groups.

And their situation was not satisfactory. The coup led by Kurland could be said to be a helpless move due to the current situation.

Even if the final result was good, it still destroyed the original intention and painstaking efforts of Roboute Guilliman in compiling the Codex Astartes.

The fragile trust that the political center of the Empire had reestablished in the Astartes after thousands of years was trampled and shattered again in this coup.

For thousands of years since then, the mortal rulers headed by the Imperial Council of State have all looked at the Phalanx floating behind the moon with suspicion and fear at the beginning of their tenure.

Is the Imperial Fists guilty? Of course, the current Empire would not admit it.

Because without the sacrifice of the Imperial Fists, it is still unclear whether the Empire can still exist today.

Is the Imperial Fists innocent?

It was precisely because of their reckless and brutal "riot" that the Empire never thought of releasing the dangerous beast of the Astartes from the shackles of the Codex even in the face of a huge crisis in the next thousands of years.

The reason is simple, just because mortals know clearly that this beast is something they cannot control. Once released, there will be no chance to drive it back into the cage.

Warlord separatism is the lightest consequence of this behavior. The most likely outcome is that the military government will continue to engage in aggressive warfare and lead the empire to complete destruction.

Cannot let go...cannot let go...

This is the most important instruction given by the rulers of all generations to their successors at the end of their lives.

How innocent are the other warbands of the empire? What crime have the billions of people in the empire committed?

The internal consumption of resources caused by this kind of distrust, the failure of local wars caused by this kind of distrust, the hundreds of millions of imperial soldiers who died, and the billions of people who died, who should be asked to pay debts?

Every time this happens, there will always be someone who makes a note in the account book of the Imperial Fist.

Maybe it is a certain empire elder who knew the crisis of the war ahead but did not dare to let the Astartes warband fight together;

Maybe it is a certain Astartes warband leader who saw countless people of the empire suffer, but because of the less than a thousand troops in his hands, he lost sight of one thing and lost another.

Because of the information and intelligence advantages brought by their identities, these high-ranking people all deeply understand where this nail that has been deeply engraved in the body of the Empire since the rebellion came from.

They also know who, after experiencing a precious thousand years of life, tore this wound that should have healed gradually with the passage of time again and turned it into an unsolvable knot.

Death is the greatest.

The dead Kurland is destined to not know and cannot continue to pay the price for this behavior. Perhaps if he is allowed to choose again, as the son of Dorne, he will make the same choice. Who knows?

But it is difficult to redeem the sin of living!

Every defeat caused by these problems in the Empire's external wars is a bad debt that the mortal rulers have recorded on the Imperial Fists!

And the humiliation and suspicion that each Astartes regiment has suffered because of distrust is the ultimate reason why they are increasingly indifferent to the Imperial Fists, and finally watch the Imperial Fists, which has a bad relationship with the Black Templars in its own system, decline and become indifferent!

And right now, an opportunity was right in front of Hornthorn, but he stubbornly refused to bend down to pick it up.

Because of Calvin's sudden appearance, the Imperial Senate had the ability and confidence for the first time to openly possess the power of the Astartes.

And its leader had enough goodwill towards the Imperial Fists to promote the Imperial Council and the Imperial Fists to reach the first comprehensive reconciliation in thousands of years! Right in front of Hornthorn!

But he just refused to speak!

Stuart was going crazy!

It's really that the emperor is not anxious for him... anxious!

Second update! I'm so awesome! Also asking for votes!
