Chapter 576 The Bells Indicate the Beginning of the Gothic Campaign

Chapter 576 Where the Bells Point - The Beginning of the Gothic Campaign

"... In summary, the transformation of Fal by the Mechanical Ark has been on the right track. After the completion of the atmospheric reconstruction plan, this place has met the construction environment of a large fortress complex!"

On the second step below Calvin, Father Fermat, wearing a white robe with a red robe, was performing his duties as the Lord of the Forge under the gaze of everyone.

The reconstruction of Fal's atmosphere by the Mechanical Ark has begun, and the progress of the subsequent secondary construction of the continental plate has also been revealed;

The first half of this meeting was for him, the representative of the Mechanicus, to explain the specific progress to everyone in a way that non-Mechanicus personnel could understand.

And under the projector in the center of the hall, a series of waterfall-like numbers and indicators, together with some rapidly passing pictures, confirmed the words and deeds of this high-level priest.

As his speech came to an end, everyone had a direct understanding of Farr's transformation:

This expected large fortress and fleet home port has completed the most important infrastructure under the construction of the Mechanical Ark Fleet;

As long as some subsequent transformations and supplements are made, this key fortress will be able to assume its key "transit station" function in this war!

That means one thing-the time for the fleet to march to the Gothic Sector is ripe!

"Well done." The voice of the Primarch fell from a high place, making Fermat, who was maintaining his speech posture, more calm.

His subtle pause at the end of his demeanor returned to smoothness again, and after his slightly lowered head was raised again, his eyes looking at the people below also had a hint of reserved color.

Of course, this thing is a kind of electrical signal in the eyes of everyone, and it is destined that non-Mechanic Cultists will not be able to understand it.

So with a kind of regret of walking in the night with brocade clothes, Fermat turned and looked at the highest power in this space.

His rhythmic body regained its silkiness under the desire for power.

This red-robed giant, who was more than three meters tall, actually took the initiative to switch the sound source in his electronic Adam's apple, and said to the figure on the throne with an extremely enthusiastic voice:

"As you can see, although we humble servants are dull, we still complete your orders with the glory of Ohm Messiah!

The transformation project of Farr no longer requires our participation, and the remaining mechanical arks are enough to complete it!

And your subordinates!"

Fermat turned and looked at the lower level of the stairs, and everyone realized what he wanted to say.

In the scorching atmosphere where all the officers held their heads high, Fermat, who quietly switched his identity to the Sage Ruler, no longer concealed his ambition for military exploits:

"And under your command, millions of soldiers are ready to fight! Hundreds of thousands of Mecha-God slaves are waiting for your orders! Thousands of the Emperor's angels of death are waiting to drink the blood of the enemies of the Empire!

Please raise your finger and tell us where the enemy is!

Please pick up your sword and point out where the enemy is for us!"

"Oh?" Calvin looked at Fermat under the steps and had a higher opinion of him in his heart.

These priests who worked hard in steel and machinery obviously also had their own desire for power.

And if your interests can be unified with theirs, they will also put aside their rigid and stereotyped attitudes and show unexpected emotional intelligence and enthusiasm.

Fermat is obviously like this at the moment. His identity as the Sage Ruler makes him have an abnormal desire for military exploits.

It was this desire that drove him to come all the way from Lucius to here, and he was so considerate that he saved the mobilization link that Calvin had expected at the beginning of this meeting.

This is good, but Calvin was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Fermat had already set the atmosphere here, so of course he had to give others a chance to express their opinions.

He slowly stood up from the throne and looked at the people under the steps.

"Please give the order!!"

Everyone who knew the content of this meeting also understood that it was time to express their opinions.

Even the Primarch stood up and waited for them. If they didn't express their opinions... it would be suspected of being impolite.

"Please give the order!"

Everyone shouted again, and Calvin finally smiled.

"Yes! The Emperor witnesses your loyalty!"

Calvin waved his hand, and Sir Sutherland beside him stepped forward.

On the dome of the Silver Hall, the holographic projection flashed and displayed the star map of the Gothic star zone.

As the real host of this pre-war mobilization meeting, Little Calvin has picked up the laser pointer in his hand and stood in front of the giant sand table in the center of the hall!

"As you can see, the structure of the Gothic star zone is very complex, and it is also a super-large star zone in the entire empire!"

Little Calvin pointed to the center of the sand table, where the star map was constantly enlarged, showing the specific structure of the Gothic star zone.

In the huge rectangular dotted line, several galaxies with the Gothic capital planet world as the center are surrounded by layers.

Among the hundreds of planets of different sizes in these galaxies, the three forging worlds arranged in a triangular shape are particularly conspicuous!

As if to confirm everyone's thoughts, Little Calvin's words also sounded at this time:

"Gothic, Mezoa, and Pandex, these three forging worlds are the core of the entire Gothic star zone and the three most critical strategic fulcrums.

I believe that the defense here can deal with the invading enemy at any time, even if it is..."

Little Calvin looked at the original body, and after getting a positive look, he continued:

"Even the two Chaos Legions we encountered before, it would be difficult to take them down by force in a short time!"

"So! I assume! While these three forging worlds have not been lost, the plan our fleet should make in the near days..."

A series of highlighted targets were displayed on the sand table following Little Calvin's words.

After watching carefully, everyone discovered that these were Pandex, which was closest to Farr, and several key fortresses between it and Goth and even Mezoa.

"Our contact with the Goths has been cut off for months...and if these forge worlds have not yet fallen, then the problem must be the Astropath relays at these key nodes.

And if... they fall, then when the fleet arrives at the Bravos defense station outside Pendex, we should also be able to hear the minimum sound of the astropaths from the Gothic direction! "

Little Calvin put down the indicator in his hand, turned to look at the original body, and then looked at everyone.

His concluding remarks:

"The criteria for judging the target are already in place. The three entry points are not fixed. There are three directions that our fleet can choose.

First, directly cross the Rock of Ghana star cluster and reach the outskirts of Pandex;

The second is via Geiselmann, the world of death, towards Mezoa;

Third, go through no man’s land…and reach Goth! "

Little Calvin's voice still echoed in the hall, and the admirals in the crowd had already started discussing.

Each of the three paths has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the risks and benefits are also different.

Admirals are good at thinking about fleet warfare. If they think about it, they will definitely choose the first option.

Arriving at Pendex was the simplest idea. With Farr as support, they could advance, attack, retreat or defend without risking being attacked from both front and rear.

But the consequence of this is that if the Forge World is really lost, as the only supporting force, there is a great possibility that they will be blocked by the enemy on the battlefield of Pandex.

Moreover, the person talking here is not the Imperial Navy, and of course they know this.

Considering the position of the Inquisition, they would not care about their own casualties, nor would they care about the losses of the Imperial Navy;

For these people in the Tribunal, perhaps entering the Gothic mainland is the best choice.

And the most important thing is that the attitude of those Astartes warriors is probably the same as that of the Inquisition.

what to do?

Everyone's eyes were subtly exchanging, but fearing Calvin's attitude, no one dared to speak first.

The position of the Adeptus Mechanicus here is undoubtedly that of the Primarch himself.

As for the generals of the Astra Militarum, when they should have unconditionally supported the naval generals, they showed unexpected hesitation.

Yes, the generals of the Imperial Navy also know it, but they still don't want to admit it.

When a Primarch appears on the battlefield, even without saying a word, his will will break all established chains of interests.

In previous cross-sector wars, the Astra Militarum relied on the Imperial Navy for tactical deployment and transfer, and had to agree with the latter's position on a considerable amount of the right to speak.

But today is no better than before!

When an Emperor's Son appears here, the Imperial Navy's little calculations may no longer work...

"Quiet!" Vasilev finally made up his mind to stop this embarrassing suffering.

These people clearly know that there is only one and only one sound here, but when it comes to their own interests, they still cannot avoid their own calculations!

Are they stupid? No, they are not.

But are they smart? Of course not!

Vasilev's voice made the admirals who were whispering around them stop struggling.

And it was only at this time that they realized belatedly that everyone in the silver hall had become subtly separated from their queue at some point.

"Quiet!" Vasilev repeated again, and then laboriously arranged his clothes.

Vice Admiral Cobb behind him pushed his heavy body out from the front of the crowd.

"Sir, we are waiting for your order!" Vasilev whispered, while everyone behind him bowed his head and remained silent.

In the silver hall that suddenly became quiet, everyone looked at the original body.

The giant sitting high on the throne seemed to be lost in his own thoughts.

What was he thinking? This is probably what the soldiers of the Imperial Navy want to know most.

But no one knew what the original body was thinking, and no one dared to interrupt his train of thought at this time.

In the silent silver hall, except for the breathing of everyone, one could hear a needle drop for a while;

The artificial sunlight above the head and the faint sound of hymns coming from the distance make this scene particularly solemn.

Calvin is waiting!

Waiting for the Bell of Erebus lurking in his soul to appear for the first time after completing its transformation!

But this change can only be traced back to a few days ago.

Calvin, who had just left the Spirit of Vengeance, instinctively noticed something strange in his body. When he noticed the secret of the inscription, he also felt the strange movement of the Bell of Erebus in his soul!

This is the Bell of Erebus!

From the beginning on the space hulk, among the three basic structures that constitute Hyperion's Blessing, it is the only one that has never truly revealed its function!

Selene's gauze keeper protection is the main part of the armor;

Although the function of Helios's rope is unknown, at least it has the function of energy transmission in addition to controlling the machine.

Only this Erebus Bell!

Only it has no value in line with its core components except for the basic perception function!

At that time, Calvin stood in his residence, quietly watching and waiting for the transformation of the Erebus Bell.

In his eyes, the five pointers of different colors and pointing to different directions on the three-dimensional scale filled with bright and mysterious starlight are changing accordingly because of the expansion of Calvin's divine soul!

In the battle of Morro, Calvin understood the meaning of the red pointer because of the gods' personal participation in the battle with the demon primarch Lorgar.

Before the power of the gods was about to descend into reality, the red pointer changed dramatically in Calvin's eyes!

After Calvin learned the secret of the inscription, he also understood the meaning of this pointer.

It represents the lock of the gods' power on him, and at the conceptual level, this lock is explained more specifically as the progress chart of the conceptual fulcrum that constitutes his power, which is being disintegrated and captured.

And what about the other four pointers?

The silver pointer has never wavered. Since Calvin saw it, it has been firmly locked on him.

Although he did not understand its meaning, he temporarily understood it as his positioning.

As for the remaining three pointers, he was really at a loss and had no clue.

Calvin originally thought that this secret would be kept until one day he accidentally triggered a condition of the Orebos Bell.

But he did not expect that this day would come so quickly - at the moment when Draconion was completely digested, he felt his soul being supplemented by a huge amount of matter, and also felt the change of the blessing from Hyperion.

And this change pointed to the Erebos Bell.

The Erebos Bell is evolving! Growing!

This ultimate creation from the Golden Human to the Warp also touched the limit of the Golden Human's imagination when it was cast.

Although none of them could reach Calvin's current depth, these crazy humans still reserved variables for this huge device that they could not control based on their imagination!

And it was this reserved variable that allowed Calvin's divine soul to grow and also led the Erebus Bell to an unknown direction!

A few days passed, and this slow transformation was still not completed. It was not until Corax left that he waited for the long-lost bell on the way from the chapel to the conference room!

Dong!

It's late, sorry! Two-in-one, it's considered to make up for the debt owed two days ago. Today's update is normal, and there will be more in the evening.
