Chapter 512: Speculation and Layout

Chapter 512 Guess and Layout—Part 1

No records, no records.

And this is something Talos, as a logical commander, cannot accept.

However, the entire 120 hours of blank space stayed in his mind and was placed on the scale of every instrument on the battleship.

Talos subconsciously looked to his side. On the scarlet rune scale of Geller's watch on the Astropath deck, the ominous black pointer remained motionless.

But is Geller’s position necessarily reliable? The answer is of course no.

There are not a few Imperial warships that have disappeared while sailing in subspace, and among the warships that were lucky enough to return to the Empire after losing contact, there are many cases where Geller's position has failed.

"Subspace pollution!" Talos tensed up thinking of this, and he almost blurted out the words to warn Calvin.

But Calvin in front of him was already aware of it. The moment Talos was about to issue a warning, the original body turned back to look at the latter, and then shook his head slightly.

Don't pursue it, don't be curious.

The meaning in Calvin's eyes was very clear, and Talos also belatedly remembered the existence of the original body, and even recalled the rumors about the Gray Knights he heard while fighting side by side with other friendly forces.

Well, to put it simply, the existence of the Gray Knights is a complete secret among the low-security Astra Militarum;

Although it is not a secret in the eyes of other Astartes Chapters, it definitely does not have a good reputation.

From the perspective of the Order of the Holy Hammer, although they have never admitted in the public information of the Inquisition that they have purged the Astartes Chapter.

But thinking about it on the other hand, if there is such a case, it is unlikely to appear in public information.

The official attitude is tantamount to denial in a sense. This is the experience gained by Talos after he took up the leadership position;

The official denial is tantamount to a double negation, and it is his evaluation of the attitude of the Holy Hammer Order on this matter...

"No need to worry about it. I will make a special record of the relevant matters to the Grand Master Council after returning to Terra."

Calvin glanced at Talos, and then continued to explain to Tybus in the latter's silence.

Tybos of the Argent Dawn quickly accepted the facts and then raised new questions to the original body:

"So what about the next time calibration? Do I need to use permissions to maintain the existing records?"

"That's it." While Calvin confirmed Tabos' plan, his brain was also analyzing the star map in the direction of Farr.

The situation map of the entire Gothic sector and even the direction of Farr quickly flashed through Calvin's personal terminal, and a star map provided by the Alliance of Chroniclers during the Great Crusade attracted the attention of the original body.

"How far are we from Farr?" Calvin asked.

"It's very close. If we average the normal space-time curvature of subspace navigation, it will take about three days."

Tabos answered Calvin's question and also guessed the former's thoughts in his heart.

The Primarch is special, unique even among all Primarchs.

Apart from the terrifying learning ability that every Primarch has, in the eyes of Tabos, he does not have a natural talent for strategic command like other Primarchs.

In fact, Calvin's tactical thinking has always been traceable, and it is not beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

However, due to certain characteristics, while he left the outside world with the impression that he was good at mobile combat in the wars he participated in commanding in the past, at the same time, during the exercises within the Gray Knights, he was able to make choices that surprised many of his comrades.

This kind of accident is not based on changes in strategic thinking, but more like different people using the same strategic thinking differently from different tactical heights.

So the information gap is formed like this:

In the eyes of the enemies of the empire, although Calvin has only been around for a hundred years, he has already shown a distinctive tactical style.

Although several fallen Primarchs and the Lords of the Black Legion in the Eye of Terror have never fought against him, they have still conducted more or less targeted exercises in their own fields.

But within the Gray Knights' legion, this stereotype no longer exists.

Although Calvin showed a clear preference for light infantry and mobile warfare in the wars of SATA, Nameless Star, Orps, and even the Moro System.

But in the exclusive training world of Titan and the Throne Court, the Primarch had already used his rich whimsical ideas to leave a very deep impression on all his comrades who were lucky enough to stand opposite him - changeability.

Yes, although war is like a fatal test question that never repeats but may appear at any time.

But when this question appeared in front of Calvin, this "Emperor's Son", who was watched by countless pairs of eyes, could always give surprising answers within the seemingly narrow way of solving the problem.

And this trait is exactly what many Gray Knights who know him and get along with him day and night cannot understand.

It is this trait that, as he performs longer and longer on the imperial stage, is gradually recognized by all enemies and friends who have interacted with him.

"Three Terra Days?"

Calvin's eyes wandered on the star map, then passed through the two star systems of Newkus and Zulos, and finally landed on Crosni.

The fingers of the original body trembled slightly subconsciously, and the rapidly calculating brain was simulating the possible decision of Saipramundi's direction:

The strategic value of the Gothic Sector is undoubted, because it not only has an extremely prosperous hive world, but also can provide a large number of available soldiers and wealth.

It also has one of the top five Forge Worlds in the Empire's Misty Star Region, which provides most of the weapons and ammunition consumed in all wars, except for the front line of the Eye of Terror.

Therefore, from the perspective of the star region and the overall vision of the Empire, the Gothic Sector is a top priority that cannot be lost.

Calvin believes that no matter who is in power in the Misty Star Region, he will not sit idly by and watch the situation in the Gothic Sector continue to develop.

But the existence of the Eye of Terror has already tied down most of the permanent troops in the Misty Star Region.

The same is true for the nearby Forge Worlds.

Whether it is the Forge Worlds on the front line, such as Agrippina and Mordaka, or Trisoria in the rear.

All of its industrial capacity and the Guardian Corps (Titan Order and Macrobranch) affiliated with the Forge World are also on guard in the direction of the Eye of Terror.

That only leaves Lucius.

Calvin looked at the top of the star map. Thousands of light years away from the Gothic Sector, separated by a huge subspace turbulence, this forge world with a civilization based on high-energy weapon technology was quietly sitting in the void.

In addition to the subspace turbulence that had been entrenched in front of Lucius since the end of the Great Crusade, the other side blocking Lucius and the Gothic Sector consisted of two galaxies that made Calvin even happier:

Dutonis and Fresh.

Update.
