Chapter 575: Reinforcements and Bell Ringing
"I shouldn't blame her, just because she doesn't like to take care of her appearance and wears her socks backwards after wearing them once..."
"I shouldn't blame her, just because she can't memorize all the pre-battle prayers, just because she only remembers the last sentence of each pre-battle prayer..."
"Puff..." Calvin hid in the shadows and almost couldn't control his laughter.
The battle nun in front of him, who looked heartbroken, obviously had some unspeakable distress under the solemnity in front of people.
Calvin could understand her, just like any army has its own unique internal troubles under the glamorous exterior.
The battle nuns are also living people, and naturally, besides their cold battles and fanatical beliefs, they have the warmth and life of human beings...
It's just... an old soldier with bad housekeeping regulations?
Calvin recalled his past life, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He also encountered this situation when he was a squad leader, and how did he deal with it at that time?
Oh, three splits, slow-motion push-ups.
Not many, just two or three, can make any veteran spend a beautiful and quiet night, and can also ensure that their legs tremble when they see socks...
What a wonderful past... Calvin's eyes were also slightly warm because of the memories.
Those memories included the sweat he shed when he was still a soldier, and the complaints he made others annoyed.
The memories of the past made him miss the departure of the battle sisters in a trance; and when he came to his senses, the chapel had returned to peace again.
Just... good?
Calvin thought about the information he had heard before, and had a deeper understanding of these battle sisters.
He looked at the timer on the wall and confirmed that he had enough time before the meeting, then pushed open the main door of the chapel and left accompanied by two honor guards.
"Lava Blood?"
On the third day of the planetary transformation project, Calvin finally received a pleasant news after waiting boringly.
The astropath told him that an Astartes battle barge claiming to be the Lava Blood was approaching Farr in the void.
And behind them, there is a fleet from Terra following.
"This is really timely..." Calvin smiled and clapped his hands.
In contrast, fleet admiral Tibers and battle group commander Little Cal looked miserable.
It's not their fault that they are in a bad mood, but their own Primarch has given them new problems after two days of peace.
After integrating Lucius's reinforcements, the Primarch is no longer willing to stay on the periphery of the Gothic War Zone.
The planetary transformation project here has just begun, and both the Guardian Corps and the attached Titan Corps are dragged in place by the Ark under construction.
The Primarch is of course unwilling to wait any longer, so Calvin proposed the idea of leading a team as a vanguard to explore the way in the last routine meeting.
"What an irresponsible proposal!"
The moment Little Calvin heard this opinion, he roared wildly in his heart and the psychic channel of the Corps.
However, authority is so unreasonable. Soon after Calvin Jr.'s roar, the authority from the Lord of the Legion prohibited him from speaking.
Moreover, leaders of other forces were also present in the Silver Hall at that time. So in order to maintain the authority of the Lord of the Legion, Calvin Jr. could only stare at the figure on the throne fiercely through the heavy Crusader helmet.
Tibers also tried to change Calvin's mind, but was also rejected by him.
So the two in a hurry could only reject the original body's proposal on the grounds that the fleet's manpower was limited and the battle group did not have enough manpower to perform tasks other than the escort fleet.
But just when they thought that the crisis was finally over and were about to relax.
The news from the astropaths raised their hearts that had just settled down again!
Talos! You deserve to die!
Calvin Jr. roared in his heart, but he had no way to deal with the facts that had already happened.
A Death Watch of nearly 300 people will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the embarrassment of insufficient Astartes warriors in the fleet;
But once this embarrassment is alleviated, there will be no reason to reject the Primarch's proposal!
"Come on! Who is the follow-up fleet?"
Sitting on the throne, Calvin loudly celebrated the return of Talos and raised his own questions.
The representative of the Astropath bowed slightly, indicating that the noise in the warp was too loud and needed to wait a little.
And Lucius and his people who got the superficial information from the surrounding crowd were really excited about the news.
Only a few Grey Knights officers under Calvin were secretly angry through the heavy Crusader helmets.
No one would dislike having too many allies, especially on this battlefield where life and death are not over.
The appearance of the Black Legion and the Death Guard is no secret, and the pressure they bring is suffocating enough.
If Galvin and his Grey Knights were not present, the Imperial soldiers gathered in Farr would not have the intention to fight against them;
Because any one of them would require the Empire to mobilize the power of an entire star region to fight against and drive them away.
"It's the signal of the Astartes!"
The Astropath representative who had just left returned again, and this time he brought the specific number of the follow-up reinforcements.
"The Krieg Chapter Alliance... five battle barges, one strike cruiser, a total of 2,000 people!"
He hesitated because he had never seen this organization before.
The Inquisition and the Grey Knights instantly understood that this was the old subordinate of the Primarch.
"Have you given an order?" Tibers looked up and looked at Calvin on the throne.
"No." Calvin was also a little surprised, but after thinking about it, this kind of thing was most likely the will of Terra.
This local armed force is not a secret to Terra. Even after Calvin officially entered Terra, their communication keys and emergency transfer orders were placed in the command sequence of the Eye of the Empire by Calvin.
He believed in Trajan, and believed that with the background and pride of the Ten Thousands, they would not have the intention to use this force at all.
The reason why they were also put in the open was to let Trajan know that if there was an emergency war in other star fields, there would be an emergency armed force here in the Storm Star Field that could be used.
In his previous transfer order, Calvin also urgently transferred the Grey Knights from the two war zones, and this order obviously made Trajan feel a greater sense of crisis when it was filed on Terra.
The Grey Knights were still being withdrawn, and they needed to be reorganized before they could carry out long-distance raids;
The Ten Thousands needed to be stationed in the center of the empire, and there could not be any slackness.
So who else could be in a state of readiness and ready to be mobilized at any time among the forces that the Eye of the Empire could mobilize?
Presumably, apart from the Minotaur war group that "pacified" the Terran lords, there was only the power of the Krieg Alliance.
"Understood." Tibers bowed his head and retreated to the sequence without speaking, and fell into thinking about how to continue to persuade the Primarch.
Calvin silently calculated the accounts:
After the arrival of this fleet, the Astartes warriors in his hands, including the headquarters, finally reached the bottom line of 3,000 people.
This number is a bottom line, which gives him confidence that he can hold off the frontal assault of the two legions in a defensive posture;
This is also the minimum that Calvin can accept, because war cannot always depend on the victory or defeat of a certain individual like the previous battle of Farr.
Gothic...
Calvin muttered in his heart, and the timer of the warship above his head also rang loudly at noon.
On the gorgeous dome of the Silver Hall, the simulated sunlight made the original body under the shadow wall look extremely sacred;
At the end of the sight that everyone was fascinated by, the giant sitting on the throne was staring at his open palm in thought.
There was nothing there, this was the vision of everyone;
There were stars all over the ground, this was the transformation of the Erebus Bell on his palm in Calvin's eyes!
Update.
