Chapter 400 Now that We Are Here, Let’s Do Something Big
Web channel? To Terra? This is not a good thing...and isn't this kind of business forbidden by the Emperor's Eagle Guards?
Calvin immediately confirmed the source of the information to Tabos, and sure enough, this top-secret information was intelligence sharing from the Tower of Hegemony.
"Is there any specific explanation of the situation?" Calvin asked.
"No, just a briefing," Tabers replied.
"Received." Calvin cut off the communication, and then directly informed the Forbidden Army representative Nicholas and the Grand Inquisitor Chasov accompanying the Inquisition, and made an appointment to meet in his office in five minutes.
The former's identity represents the Tower of Hegemony, and Calvin needs their intelligence support and cooperation for all matters involving Terra and the Webway;
The latter was a partner specially brought in by the Inquisition for Calvin's expedition.
The opponent's rare "hymn-type" psychic ability, although the individual combat capability is worrying, or it may be said that there is no combat capability at all.
But his profound knowledge of demonology makes him proficient in most psychic rituals, and he can also use his characteristics to have a huge amplification effect on these joint rituals led by him!
In Youdao, an old man in a family is like a treasure, and this 300-year-old man is one of the most precious pure scholars in the Tribunal.
Moreover, the target of this mission, the head of the Tribunal of the Gian Morro Sector, still has a master-disciple relationship with this old man.
Although that one has now become a member of the Purists, in any case, the existence of this relationship can still add some convenience to Calvin's work...
Sitting in his office, Calvin was lost in thought, and the previous anomalies of the Son of Guilliman flashed through his mind again.
Will they have tasks related to the webway? impossible!
This is no ordinary Webway entrance. Any matter that may pose a threat to Terra has always been the responsibility of the Custodes themselves.
Can the Ultramarines be the exception? joke!
Their deep-rooted distrust of the Astartes has made them want to go to bed and look at the Far East of the Empire every night for the past thousands of years. How could the Custodes fake this kind of entrance to the webway that leads directly to Terra? others?
And there happens to be a webway entrance here, or is it the kind that leads to Terra?
You must know that being labeled "Terra" in military materials is not a good thing. It is different from the most fashionable and gorgeous products in civilian circulation that represent the empire's most fashionable and gorgeous products.
If you see the word "Terra" in a military document, it usually means one thing - you're in big trouble!
And if this label overlaps with the Webway again... Calvin has only one outcome in mind - Chaos Demon.
Gan! Could it be that these Smurfs were playing "archeology" in their own yard and then dug through the seal of the Webway?
Thinking of this, Calvin suddenly stood up and was about to walk out. Outside the office door, the Forbidden Army Captain and the Grand Inquisitor also happened to arrive at the same time, confronting Calvin who was out.
Looking at the Forbidden Army Captain Calvin in front of him, he asked directly: "Did you know that there is a webway entrance in Presdia? The fleet's auspicious device has just collected its energy signal."
"Impossible!" Nicholas was also confused and immediately answered Calvin.
"The entrance to the webway here has been completely destroyed a long time ago! Moreover, we moved the continental plates around it and buried it under the earth's crust! How can it still have an active signal that can be identified?"
However, Calvin made no excuse and just looked at Nicholas directly. The latter finally understood the seriousness of the incident and couldn't help but moan in a low voice:
"Your Majesty the Emperor! This entrance must not be opened, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Calvin suddenly realized something when he looked at Nicholas' expression that was painful due to memories.
"This shouldn't be the case, is it leading to the battlefield where you were?"
Yes, you can understand just by looking at Nicholas's lack of rebuttal. There are not many webways leading to Terra, and there is only one known and famous entrance to the webway on Terra, which is under the Emperor's house...
As for the Webway, a magical creation left behind by the ancient saints, its internal space and time are not constrained by the real universe at all.
Maybe if we drive a hundred kilometers from Terra, we can use an exit to reach the land of another star field?
Isn’t the exit in front of me an example?
"Let's talk somewhere else..." Chasov said quietly. He stretched out a hand under his unmarked black robe and gently adjusted his glasses in his silver hair.
Only then did Calvin bother to nod to the old man, then turned around and pushed open the door of his office, gesturing for the two of them to follow.
Golden, who was stationed at the side, looked at the original body. After getting the signal from his eyes, he walked into the room the last among the people, then closed the door and stayed put, waiting for the original body's order at any time.
"Where is it?" Calvin's tone was completely determined, while Nicholas tapped the continental plate of Presdia in the holographic projection with his hand.
The laser sensor of the servo skull captured Nicholas's finger, and a scarlet flash point began to flash at the corresponding position.
Looking at the location deep underground on the planet, Calvin hesitated:
"So deep? Can't the orbital strike penetrate it? And why is this thing located right under the Sons of Guilliman's fortress?"
"The order is reversed. You should ask the Son of Guilliman why the location of the fortress was chosen here."
Chasov looked at the results of the battleship's ground scan displayed on the holographic projection:
From the reflection of the spectrum, it can be inferred that this fortress was built less than 3,000 years ago.
However, according to Nicholas, the "handling" of this webway by the Imperial Guard can be traced back to the early days of the Great Crusade.
"And this..." After seeing the mark of the Sons of Guilliman, Grand Inquisitor Chasov frowned, and then retrieved two files from the database of the Inquisition.
In his operation, these two files were merged under the data of the Sons of Guilliman on the planet Plesdia.

The two documents, which add up to less than a thousand words, naturally do not take a lot of time for a few people to read.
But after everyone finished reading the two documents, there was an embarrassing silence in the office.
"…………Hey."
Calvin looked at the notes on the document on the projector in front of him for a long time, and then asked Nicholas with a mouthful of white teeth:
"Translate, translate, what is force majeure?"
"As you can see." The captain of the imperial guards did not directly answer Calvin's question.
This kind of conflict involves the largest military group in the empire and may even cause instability in one-third of the empire's territory. Even as a guard of the Imperial Guard, he was still reluctant to reveal it under many concerns.
"Scholar, what's your opinion?" Calvin asked Chasov beside him again.
"It's up to your will." Chasov replied. He didn't care about the political influence behind these things. As long as the Primarch was determined, there was nothing he couldn't do.
"My will?" Calvin smiled. He looked at the iron-gray planet in front of him and pressed a black button on the table in front of him.
The Unremitting Crusade, which was in preparation, was suddenly awakened by a sharp war warning;
In countless corridors of different sizes, the dazzling red light replaced the blue light of daily traffic;
In hundreds of arsenals and dormant cabins, the equipment and ammunition that were originally locked were transported from the armored storage room to the front desk by automatic conveyor belts by automatic transport devices,
and the 101,129 Grey Knights in training and preparation and hundreds of thousands of dormant Tindalos Legion soldiers received orders to be granted full armed power the moment they woke up.
The location of the webway entrance and all the information about the Son of Guilliman were transmitted to the entire fleet by Galvin with his personal authority across the bridge in the next second.
The commanders of the three main ships were reminded immediately, and they immediately sent a contact request to Galvin's office.
"Tibers!" Galvin said to the fleet admiral who appeared on the screen.
"Waiting for your order!" Although the veteran of the Blade of Victory was not clear about the current situation, it was his greatest responsibility to believe in and execute the orders of the Primarch.
"Are you sure you can knock down the orbital defense here?" Galvin did not explain, but asked his question directly.
"Give me full fleet firepower authorization?" Tibers did not have any questions, but directly gave his request.
"Yes! Is there?" Galvin said.
"Yes! If the damage is not counted, I can get it done within two orbital launch cycles!" Tibers looked at the other two captains, and the two instantly understood what Tibers meant.
Isn't it just a collision? Old business! Three veteran drivers from the Blade of Victory, who has not had the experience of forced airborne under friendly fire?
This is not a truly dangerous mission. If the situation is really dangerous, which of these three has not driven a warship to attack the surface of the planet?
"Okay!" Calvin turned his head with satisfaction and looked at the calm Chasov beside him, and then expressed his opinion:
"My opinion is that since we are here, we might as well do something big!"
Update!
