Chapter 504: Elephant Rescue Plan Implemented

"Yeah... there is no choice." Calvin sighed about the past, and became more determined in his mind.

Although Horus at that time was regrettable, the fate of the legion model represented by him was actually doomed to failure.

"So, do you think that an Asterta Legion still has meaning for the empire today?" Calvin asked Talos cautiously, and both of them knew the direction of this question very well.

"Meaning? What a luxurious topic for us?" A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Talos' mouth.

He didn't know the purpose of this conversation, but did he really have a choice? But since the words have come to this point, he might as well put forward his views before joining.

"It has meaning. Its meaning is to give this country false hope again, and then after building a grand blueprint for everyone, it collapses again for the same reason at a certain moment when it is about to succeed.

The Empire has never lacked military power, but in my opinion, it has lost real hope. The Legion may be able to change the current situation of the Empire, but how powerful it is today, it will cause more harm to the Empire in the future."

"Is this the reason why you left the Legion?" Calvin asked, but the answer was already obvious.

The soldiers of these Legions have suffered too much betrayal, but the confusion about the future is the fatal blow that completely destroys their beliefs.

It's like they have seen through all the despair ahead, but they are still maintaining the reason for fighting with a little bit of their original intention.

Taros is still immersed in the memories of the past, and the Primarch is waiting for his answer. Time is passing by, and this conversation seems to have no end.

Ding... On the wall of the cabin, the ancient mechanical clock reminds in the riveting of gears.

The time for the next round of duty is coming, and Taros, as a member of the command sequence, must go to the bridge to take over.

"Tell me about your arrangement for us, sir." Talos stood still, and the power armor on his body had quietly turned on the self-check mode.

Calvin watched him quietly prepare, and then said to him after a few seconds:

"I invite you and your brother to join a new legion."

"Legion? Us?" Talos was stunned for a moment, then laughed and asked: "How to join? You must know that his blood is flowing in our bodies..."

"That's not important." Calvin looked up at the giant in front of him.

"As you said, a legion with too many personal colors has no way out. So this legion will not be maintained only by blood, but based on some common visions."

"What vision?"

"Imperial truth."

"Really..." Talos could hardly control his emotions, especially when this ancient word appeared in the mouth of a Primarch born in 39K.

A huge sense of absurdity rose in his mind, and a sense of anger from within made him speak without thinking:

"What era is it, and there are still people who believe in this..."

But Calvin just watched him silently until his sanity returned.

"So...your answer?"

"I'll join!" Taros said firmly...

——

"The specific arrangement is as follows." In the small cabin, Calvin stood in front of Taros and explained:

"After the war here is over, I will temporarily arrange you to the Storm Star Region. There are allies we can trust in the direction of Krieg, and you can temporarily operate in their name.

There will be a new warship waiting for you there, and the Industrial Alliance can support your supplies and ammunition."

"Yes!" Taros agreed excitedly. This was already beyond his expectations, and if everything went well, he could bring back more brothers from the border of the empire.

But Calvin's gift to him was far more than that. When the Primarch spoke of their long-term placement, all that was left for Taros was a huge surprise.

"This is just a temporary transition plan. Terra is preparing for the next military construction project.

You don't have enough strength for the defensive warband, so don't even think about it, but there are still vacancies for the ship-based warband, so you can prepare early."

"Warband? Us?" Talos was stunned, and Calvin saw Talos's expression and misunderstood his reaction.

The primarch frowned slightly, but still patiently explained to him:

"Yes, only the ship-based warband.

The purpose of this batch of military construction plans is to make up for the loss of warbands in the Eye of Terror and the Ghoul Star Field.

As long as the newly added garrison warbands complete the military construction, they will go to the two battlefields to further strengthen the defense strength there.

So the mother planets that can be assigned to this military construction project are all on the front line of the Empire's war. The scheduled selection list is also from several start-up legions.

You don't have enough manpower at all. This intensity of war is not something you can bear now. If you really want to get this opportunity, wait for the opportunity in the future..."

"No..." Talos was a little incoherent, but he finally sorted out his thoughts.

He never thought that he could live under the sun again, let alone fight in the name of a regiment again.

"And..." Calvin continued to add that since he had come to this point, he simply explained the pros and cons to Talos at once.

"Although your organization is independent in name, it was actually divided from the quota of the Inquisition at the Terra Council.

So in the future specific operations, you will be classified into the armed sequence of the Inquisition by default. "

"Yes!" Taros bowed his head and agreed. This kind of warband is different from the bloodline of other founding warbands. In the internal culture of Astartes, it will be discriminated against because it belongs to mortals.

But at this time, Taros had no room for choice. Being able to walk in the sun under the banner of the Empire again was already a treatment he could not imagine.

"Any more questions?" The clock on the wall rang again, and Calvin also prepared to end the conversation.

"No more... No questions." Thousands of words passed through Taros's mind, but finally turned into a simple response in a sigh.

In the small and quiet cabin, the black-armored giant slowly knelt on one knee amid the hum of the power armor, and the two-handed heavy sword that Calvin had used was presented by Taros with both hands at this time.

"You should be thanked, but it is definitely not me who should be thanked. "Galvin knew the meaning of this gesture, so he rarely retreated.

The Primarch stood up from his seat and walked to Talos, raised his heavy sword directly, and then slapped him hard when Talos was completely unprepared.

Talos' heavy body slammed back hard, but returned to the original place in the next second regardless of his own embarrassment.

"Does it hurt?" Calvin asked.

"..." Talos lowered his head and did not respond.

"Remember the pain today, I hope it can always remind you not to forget your mission. "

"In the name of the Emperor, obey your will!" The giant lowered his head and responded.

And when Calvin signaled the former to stand up, the fleet's battle alarm happened to sound in the corridor of the battleship.

Update, late, sorry.
