Chapter 496: Visit From the Elephant Rescue Project

Chapter 496: Saving the Elephant Plan - Visit

Calvin roughly understood the situation of this unit, and also understood the considerations of the representatives of the Inquisition in the Misty Star Region.

This Death Watch itself has a special origin, and its team members happen to come from other star regions.

In particular, the main component is a "Black Shield" of unknown origin.

This relatively fixed force with questionable loyalty is a difficult problem for any star region or even star region to digest. It is no wonder that they can be transferred all the way from the distant Storm Star Region to here for training.

The members of the Death Watch do not have a fixed configuration, because their source of troops is not stable. They are volunteers from various Asterta regiments in response to the deep hatred of aliens at the genetic level.

Usually, only when the war is about to come, a commander of the Death Watch will come to the battlefield under the guidance of the Inquisition and issue a call for action;

Members in the nearby star regions will choose whether to join according to their own wishes, and when the war is over, if they are still alive, they will disperse and rush to different battlefields with their own understanding of the mission.

This creates some strange scenes, such as you can meet the same member with different tactical functions between two teams responsible for different battlefields.

He may be a vanguard in the front in the previous team, and a wanderer guarding the flank of the battlefield in this battle.

They have no names, only temporary code names between each other; they never ask about the origins of their comrades around them, because that person may not even be from the Empire. (The Black Shields are such a typical example. They are Asterta warriors who have lost their faith in the Empire and have completely separated from their original legions. Although the final fate of most Black Shields is still to fall into Chaos, it is undeniable that the Emperor has successfully engraved the hatred of alien civilization into their souls. So when alien civilizations appear on the battlefield between the Empire and Chaos, there are often strange scenes where the Asterta on the side of the Empire and Chaos give up fighting and turn their guns to the outside.)

They don’t have a fixed team. Except for the occasional fixed partner combination in the case of long-term joint operations, there is almost no stable organizational structure.

They also come and go freely. You can even see some teams composed of traitors (traitors to the Empire, but not falling into Chaos) in the starry sky on the border of some empires.

And Taros’s unit is obviously a peculiar one. He and his old brothers obviously will not accept the order to be separated, and the volunteer organization of the Death Watch does not have mandatory regulations in this regard.

When a fixed team of more than ten people appears, and members of unknown origin continue to join within a hundred years, and eventually reach a size of more than a hundred people;

No matter how insecure the commander is, he cannot ignore this "squad" that is larger than all his teams.

This is already a key force that can affect a war zone, but due to their origin, the Inquisition cannot include their leaders in the core intelligence layer;

And the usual attritional war cannot be a solution to deal with these "black shields", which is due to Calvin's influence in the Storm Star Domain and the mature and tacit combat effectiveness of these warriors.

For decades, this special "Death Watch" has experienced hundreds of battles in the Storm Star Domain.

As the last descendants of the Shadow Moon Wolf, they inherited the tactical literacy and experience from the Legion era, and the tactical advantages brought by the formation of more than company-level units in the war, which allowed them to maintain an outrageous death rate despite all the hardships.

This is a miracle, of course, and Calvin has also had an impact on it:

Although he didn't pay much attention to Taros after leaving the Storm Star Region, the experience of fighting side by side with the Ashbringer still made them not be abandoned by the Inquisition at the critical moment despite the lack of food and ammunition.

And in the past battlefields in the Storm Star Region, this golden signboard has made them more trusted.

Especially with Taros, a shrewd leader, trading with other Asterta war groups under the name of Calvin (the list of supplies includes but is not limited to guns and ammunition supplies, and even gene seeds), and occasionally doing odd jobs for the local Mechanicus, this "Black Shield" has actually lived a colorful life.

But "good days" are destined to not last long, and the word "stability" is destined to be a false proposition in today's galaxy.

At a time when the direct bloodlines left by many gene primarchs have suffered heavy losses and are difficult to maintain, let alone these "wanderers" who have no legal identity and no gene father.

The Inquisition had always been aware of the existence of Talos and others, and the latter's continued expansion finally touched their bottom line.

There were naturally no restrictions on the surface, and Talos and his brothers were also cautious and did not expose all their manpower.

But when their team still appeared in the Inquisition's data with a nearly full staff after several battles, the proposal to deal with this force could no longer be shelved, and was placed on the table of the head of the Inquisition's star region.

This was obviously a difficult problem to deal with, and the Grand Inquisitor of the star region was also cautious about this.

In the internal high-level meeting, although someone proposed to send them to the battlefield of consumption, this proposal was eventually shelved by the highest person in charge today when the three major orders of the Inquisition were highly united.

So this "Black Shield" was eventually sent to the Hazy Star Region and became one of the support forces of the Inquisition for the war zone.

And Calvin also received a letter from the Gothic direction at this time. When his fleet arrived in the Hazy Star Region, it was just the day when this "Black Shield" had just arrived at Desperate Watch.

The fortress monastery of Desperate Watch was the preparation area for Taros and others.

On the central seat of the weapon display room, a bald giant was carefully wiping the gun in his hand.

The gun body, which was obviously plated, was much more slender than the ordinary bolt gun, and the additional muzzle brake and the magazine bent forward on the muzzle showed that this was a customized fine product.

"Boss..."

The giant paused and then looked up at the door.

"Alex said we're out of hormones."

"Then go get them!" Talos replied impatiently, then suddenly reacted and asked incredulously:

"No! Didn't we just get them the day before yesterday? I remember that was triple the standard!"

"The brothers' power armor reserves were originally empty. This batch of goods will just give us some foundation in logistics."

The visitor was also in a depressed mood. Logistics officers are not a good job in any army, because no matter whether it is in wartime or not, there will always be many voices of misunderstanding in his ears.

"Got it, give me a form, and I'll get it after I finish reading it." Talos sighed and answered helplessly.

"Yes..." The strong man answered in a low voice, but the sound of steel boots moving did not sound in his ears for a long time.

Talos looked up with some surprise, and the latter was still standing at the door.

"Anything else?"

"There's no more rations..."

"Emperor's shit..." Talos, who had stopped talking in time, stood up and walked towards the strong man, questioning in disbelief:

"Didn't you just get it yesterday? Where's the food? Have you eaten it all?"

The strong man didn't answer, but looked at the former with affirmative eyes.

"Hiss... I think it's necessary to ask the people from the Inquisition to come here. You haven't been contaminated by those green things!"

"I'm so hungry..." The strong man raised his head and explained, then closed his mouth again.

"I... Then go get it again!" Talos wanted to be angry, but he knew the situation of his brothers. The unstable logistics did put them in a mess, and the long-term lack of special elements made these "wanderers" generally in a sub-healthy state.

"Yes." The strong man got a satisfactory reply and turned to leave the small showroom.

Taros picked up the gun and the gun cloth, but he had no intention to continue his previous work. He looked at the ceiling alone, and only began to mutter to himself after the footsteps faded away:

"There will be a way... There will always be a way..."

"Boss..." The familiar voice once again raised Taros' blood pressure, and this time he no longer had the energy to get angry.

"What the hell happened again?"

"There's a big guy at the door, and he wants to see you." The strong man's footsteps were a little hurried, and he was also quite frightened.

"Huh?" Taros frowned subconsciously, and the strong man's next sentence made him throw away his beloved gun.

"He said his name is Calvin."
