Chapter 390 News About Zhanmoro
Deep in the Titan Fortress monastery, where silence was restored again, the ancient obsidian portal was pushed open from the inside after being closed for a whole day.
Under the watchful eyes of a group of high-ranking Gray Knights, Calvin walked out of the dark corridor of the Hall of Fear, carrying the fresh "Imperial Truth" intact.
"The Emperor's blessing!" Turab the Purifier whispered.
Although the veterans of the Grand Master Council did not speak out, they also let go of their worries.
The Supreme Master was the first to notice the change in the weapon in Calvin's hand:
The sword, which was a head taller than him, was as wide as a mortal door;
The hilt of the sword, which is as thick as an adult's arm and can be held with both hands, is densely covered with fine inscriptions, like non-slip threads, and can be grasped with one hand in the hands of the original body.
And that eye!
The red magic eye, which was supposed to be filled with evil connotations, actually had a somewhat divine connotation against the gorgeousness of the entire sword body.
The vertical pupils of that extraordinary creature were like a living thing. The moment Walden was glanced at by it, he felt not evil and blasphemy, but a condescending questioning and judgment that reached straight into his soul.
"This is?" Other veterans also noticed the strangeness of this sword.
"Um...a gift from nature?" Calvin thought for a while, decided to omit the complicated process, and gave the simplest answer possible.
"Okay... remember to file it." Walden rolled his eyes cryptically and warned Calvin.
He did not ask what happened to the demon. Since the original body could return successfully, its fate was obvious.
And the origin of this sword is nothing more than this. There are countless similar holy objects transformed from trophies in the Gray Knights' hoards, and there are not many like this one from Calvin.
However, the remaining great masters valued this sword very much. After all, this sword was held by the original body, and it was related to that special demon.
So after confirming that the matter here was over, and the group started to return to the surface, Stern, who was the blackmailer's grand mentor at the time, was the first to couldn't help but ask:
"Do you have a name?"
"Imperial truth!" answered the Primarch.
The Gray Knights paused slightly after hearing this long-lost word, and then continued to move forward.
A few days later, Calvin, who had recovered from the battle to kill Kotos, set out again and embarked on a journey back to Terra.
But unlike when he came, this time when he left, there was an uninvited guest among the people accompanying him - the pharmacist Razak.
This is a typical traditional Gray Knight. His gray hair, black eyes, unsmiling face, and specially modified Holy Shield-type power armor are all his identifiable features.
After Walden introduced him to the Primarch, the silent apothecary removed his helmet with an additional scanning device and knelt down to salute Calvin.
"My lord!"
"Get up, I welcome you on behalf of the Legion."
Calvin usually wasn't interested in this kind of etiquette, but this was the first time the two met, and he could only watch the other person complete the etiquette.
He maintained a calm expression on his face, but he was questioning Grand Master Walden in the psychic communication.
+Is it necessary? +
He didn't want his personal likes and dislikes to affect the young pharmacist's mentality. But he was used to leading the army in battles all year round, and he was still unwilling to add such a "treasure" that needed to be cared for at all times in the hands of his already small command team.
+It is necessary, your body does not belong only to you+
Walden's eyes were still gentle, but his tone was full of undoubtability.
+ Then there’s no need to assign a pharmacist to me, right? Just for the nutritional ratio? +
Calvin rolled his eyes cryptically. If this spreads out, who knows what will happen.
He is also the leader of a legion, but in this life he still has to experience the feeling of being cared for 24 hours a day, which is really terrible.
+Of course not. We have made a request to Mars, and a new batch of genetic breeding technicians will soon arrive in Demos.
In the future, pharmacists will focus mainly on modifying the direction of surgery, and as their surgical efficiency increases, the Legion will have more frequent demand for your gene extracts. +
+Then I will take him with me like this? Let me start by saying that I currently have too many mid-level officer vacancies. Even the Honor Guard will soon be split up to fill the lower companies. If there is a combat mission, I don't have the manpower to protect him! +
+ Rest assured. + Walden turned around and patted Razak, indicating that he could join the queue.
The latter saluted him and Calvin, then turned and walked to the end of the guard of honor.
+The sword-bearer has already started the preliminary preparation work on Rhea. There is a "gift" we prepared for you in the shipyard there, which is undergoing purification and blessing procedures after the end of dormancy.
Wait another year, until there are more than three battle groups under your legion, and you can transfer to that battleship. At that time, Razak will naturally be stationed on that battleship and no longer needs to follow you around. +
Walden didn't explain much, because in his eyes, Razak was just the first batch of people in the transition from the Custodian Order to the Legion.
When the huge battleship is officially commissioned, not only a simple laboratory supported by one or two pharmacists will be moved to it, but even a complete training base for new recruits is also in his plan.
At that time, this warship will cruise on various battlefields of the Empire under the leadership of Calvin, and with the help of the dual channels of the Inquisition and the Astronomical Court, this warship will also reach a new agreement with the Black Ship Alliance on the replenishment of troops.
"That's it."
After receiving this guarantee, Calvin no longer hesitated. He didn't think about how big the warship would need to be for the pharmacist to stay.
After all, among other compatriots, even the Astartes who were embarrassed to use frigates as battle barges might set up a dedicated workspace for pharmacists on the warship.
Although that kind of space cannot be called a laboratory, it can only be called a medical room.
After parting with the Supreme Grand Master, Calvin took the frigate back to Titan, and then re-boarded his flagship "Unremitting Crusade" there.
Just as the Relentless Crusade had just broken away from Saturn's barrier and was on its way back to Terra, Calvin received another message from the Emperor's Eye:
Marshal Trajan, who was originally scheduled to visit the Anthem Fortress, and Vanya Bridges, the demon inquisitor of the Inquisition's Holy Hammer Order, were waiting for his meeting.
Along with this request came a war briefing from the direction of the Ultramarine.
200 standard Terran days ago, a huge rebellion broke out in the Igor XII system in the Janmorro sector in the first quadrant of the Ultramarine.
The Inquisition's initial assessment was that it was caused by a Chaos contamination incident, but with the local Ministry of Justice and the Inquisition Observation Station successively lost, there is no clear information about the mastermind and leader behind it.
The Imperial Navy stationed nearby has immediately gone to suppress it, and a passing Black Templar fleet from the Astartes also chose to join the battlefield.
But the war situation there did not ease with the suppression of the Empire. On the contrary, after the encirclement and suppression of Igor XII's homeland, similar pollution incidents spread throughout the entire Janmora sector with the return of the Astra Militarum.
The nearby Grey Knights tactical team has arrived, but facing nearly 100 planets in 15 star systems in the entire sector, they can only do a defensive blockade.
The Inquisition's suggestion is that the high-ranking members of the Order of the Holy Hammer participate together with the Grey Knights and try to control the pollution here as much as possible to prevent it from spreading again.
As for the deployment of the Grey Knights' forces, the only available mobile force is in the hands of Calvin himself.
Update, late. I woke up in the morning and found that there was a power outage at home. I looked at the owner group and found out that the crane at the construction site next door had dug up the cable...
