Chapter 486: Elephant Rescue Plan: Silent Sister Return Plan

Chapter 486: Plan to Save the Elephants - Plan to Return the Sisters of Silence

Twenty thousand people, this number is not too many for an Astartes Legion.

But for the Grey Knights, who have maintained the size of the battle group since its establishment and until the 39th millennium, the existing recruitment, armaments and even management systems are facing unprecedented challenges.

The agreement signed by Calvin on behalf of Titan and Mars has been implemented, and just to fill this part of the personnel gap, the Grand Master Council on Titan had to give priority to the training of pharmacists in the first three years;

The Krieg Industrial Alliance was not spared. After the forge world Demos began to operate at full power, the gap in a large number of mechanical priests also made their human resources extremely tight for a time.

Nearly a thousand priests belonging to the Omen Order gave up their original organization. After being screened by the sublimation ceremony, most of them were left and successfully passed and then transferred to Titan to join Constantine.

In the context of full capacity in these two directions, nearly 10,000 recruits on Titan have completed training in just the first ten years of full-speed expansion.

But this has brought about new problems, namely, the existence of the Primarch has greatly reduced the threshold for the transformation of the Grey Knights, and has also increased the success rate of the most critical soul stability test after the Grey Knight transformation surgery.

And the Titans have repeatedly lowered the requirements for psychic candidates during multiple batches of transformation surgeries and training.

After ten years of repeated confirmation and iterative summaries, it was finally reduced to the simplest four:

First, male; (women's natural sensibility is still the biggest weakness in the fight against Chaos, but under the huge base of mortal soldiers in the War Council, female soldiers have indeed begun to appear after continuous sublimation. Special individuals close to the minimum standard)

Second, good health, no obvious congenital organ defects; (especially limbs, psychic power is a reflection of the soul, limb defects can be cured by gene repair and cloning technology, but the defects of the soul in the process of growth cannot be made up)

Third, the right age; (minors, the spiritual world is still highly plastic without suffering great damage)

Fourth, have never been overdrawn expansion of the subspace. (Before being collected, they were not tempted by the warp and overdrawn their souls in exchange for unnatural growth of psychic energy)

Before that, the psychic activity and stability that the Titans were most concerned about were no longer a problem for the Titans because of the Primarch and the authority of order he possessed.

The lowering of standards and the increase in the success rate of the training cycle directly resulted in the exhaustion of the psychic qualified people accumulated by the Grey Knights Grand Master Council in a hundred years in just less than ten years.

The Titans could not even wait for the diversion of the Black Ship Alliance, and began to take the initiative to conduct high-frequency interception and detention operations on its fleet in the name of the Inquisition outside the Solar Segment.

Although there were precedents for such actions in the past, such a high-intensity interception caused the Astronomican Court, which is also a subordinate unit of the Astronomican Court, to sue the Black Ship Alliance on the internal monitoring mechanism of the Astronomican Court after encountering a huge shortage of psychics.

The chain of pressure was eventually transmitted to the contemporary Terra Lord of the Star Language Court, but facing Calvin, who had already established a foothold in Terra at that time, and the Eye of the Empire behind him, this imperial giant, who was also transcendent in a certain sense, could only complain to the Throne Court with a helpless attitude to express the pressure he faced.

So the incident was finally placed in front of Calvin, but the pressure he faced was also huge.

In his eyes, the two choices of "increasing revenue and reducing expenditure" did not need any entanglement at all. How to further expand the scale and efficiency of the Black Ship Alliance was the common choice of several people who confronted each other for public affairs without selfish motives.

Speaking of the Black Ship Alliance, Calvin's other proposal for the Imperial Guard was just put on the table:

As early as before the Battle of Janmoro, he had mentioned to the Imperial Guard Marshal Trajan that in the face of the existing war environment of the empire, in order to complete the combat system of the Throne Court, the issue of the recall policy of the Sisters of Silence should be responded to.

Trajan did not give an answer at the time, and Calvin had no time to pursue it.

And when the Black Ship Alliance, the only unit besides the Throne Court that needs to be guarded by the Sisters of Silence, needs to expand.

This problem that stands in the way of the Imperial Guards and even indirectly stands in the way of the expansion of the Grey Knights can no longer be ignored.

In the routine meeting of the Terra Council of State, the problems of both sides were frankly stated under the mediation of the Imperial Guards Marshal Trajan;

After the communication of the external meeting, Calvin and the Imperial Guards Marshal also had effective communication in the Imperial Eye Tower inside the Throne Court.

With no outsiders present, Trajan frankly admitted the dishonorable role played by the Imperial Guards in the expulsion of the Sisters of Silence that year.

At that time, the Imperial Guards were still immersed in the sorrow of the Battle of the Webway and the serious injury of the Emperor. The term "people's hearts are floating", which belongs to the mortal troops, also rarely and shamefully appeared among the Adamantine Guards.

They ignored the Terra Lords' further expansion of the Empire's power, and chose a regrettable and shameful silence when these mortals first stretched out their trembling hands toward the wings of the Custodians.

It was in this context that the Sisters of Silence were betrayed by their most trusted companions. They were expelled from their temples by the decrees of the Terra Lords, and since then they have lost the protection of the Empire and wandered across the vast territory.

Thousands of years have passed, and the Guards are no longer as turbulent as they were in the past, but the Sisters of Silence have also changed.

The communication channels of the Temple have long disappeared, and the part under the Black Ship Alliance has never paid attention to the Guards.

Considering the nature of this problem, which is a shameful betrayal, the Guards, who are naturally indebted morally, cannot use a tough tone to command these silent ladies.

The problem was delayed and could not be solved, but if this problem is not solved, the Ten Thousands of Men want to reappear on the battlefield of the Empire, and there will be natural tactical defects.

It is like a scar that cracks from time to time, which makes the leaders of the Guards unable to ignore but also unable to change.

It was not until the appearance of Calvin that the expansion of the Grey Knights became possible, thus making it possible to make up for the defects of the Guards.

But Calvin's value was also beyond everyone's expectations.

Although the Imperial Guards were optimistic enough about the expansion of the Grey Knights, the increase in the expansion of the Legion by a Primarch still exceeded their most outrageous expectations.

Today's Grey Knights are no longer the endangered species that had to struggle between reconstruction and cancellation after a war.

Their expansion process was so rapid that the tactical positioning that was originally a defect-filling position in the eyes of the Imperial Guards became so ridiculous in front of the current Grey Knights Legion.

So, the Sisters of Silence were needed and reminded again, and were put on the agenda that the Imperial Guards had to deal with.

And this time, Calvin, as the most loyal and reliable ally of the Imperial Guards, gave a plan that Tula could not refuse:

At the right time, in the name of the Eye of the Empire, overturn the judgment of the Terra Lord on the Sisters of Silence and re-recognize their status.

The Imperial Guards need to support Calvin's proposal at the Terra Council, and through a decree, in the name of the Empire, re-recruit their group and return their original temples and weapons.

As a preliminary preparation for this operation, Calvin will personally select a messenger who can communicate between the two sides.

As for the candidate...

Kasin, the one who originally brought Calvin back to Terra from the remote areas of the Empire.

This Calvin, or Jiang Wen, is the only survivor of the first group he came into contact with in this world.

After a full 115 years, he received an urgent order from Terra again on the Black Ship Wandering Band, and then traveled day and night.

With a confused face, the first moment he set foot on the land of Terra, he was taken to the depths of the Throne Court by the Grey Knights from the Inquisition and the Eye of the Empire.
