Chapter 62 Characteristics and Signs
What is order? Or what does order mean to different people?
Order is a rule, stability, the foundation of prosperity, and the cornerstone of all goodness.
For one's own side, it is a gentle scrutiny and correction based on wisdom and reason; for the enemy, it is essentially a severe and irrefutable questioning and judgment.
The battle was a one-sided slaughter from the beginning. Calvin's figure jumped up and ran straight to the leading troll, slashing the greatsword in his hand at the opponent.
After the opponent's attempt to parry the sheep-horn staff collided with Calvin's heavy sword, the black and green divine power from Nurgle on the staff disintegrated after a slight collision with Calvin's power.
The greatsword dyed platinum by Calvin's psychic energy had no resistance and cut the opponent in half with the staff.
The opponent's huge body fell to the ground instantly after being cut open. The golden flames at the wound burned from the inside like fuel on a raging fire, and then rushed out from its facial features, turning it into a huge human-shaped firework.
After Calvin landed, he swept his sword to open up space for his comrades who caught up with him. The Terminators who followed him also came and expanded the space Calvin opened up again.
In the first wave of attacks, the corpses and giants in front of Calvin and others were successfully killed. Hundreds of corpses and giants fell under the swords of Calvin and his comrades.
The Terminators who had just landed were not greedy for merit. After they cleaned up the enemies around them with a strong sweep in close combat, they quickly adjusted their breathing and raised their left hands.
Six storm bolt guns aimed at the targets suspected of being spellcasters in the zombie group and began to fire densely and accurately, creating favorable conditions for the second round of charge that was about to begin.
At this time, the other six Terminators who arrived at the bottom of the slope in the second batch had just adjusted themselves and began to launch a second charge towards the enemy from the gap between the comrades in front.
Calvin no longer participated in the first round of charge, but looked for large targets in the zombie group for fixed-point killing.
The advancement of the front and the communication between them were carried out at a high speed every moment in the psychic communication channel centered on him, and never stopped.
The high degree of tacit understanding and shared vision between each other made the killing of the Terminators full of the exquisite beauty of the gears biting together. In other words, this is the beauty that belongs to order.
Although the enemies are too numerous to count, with the blessing of Calvin, when facing these killing teams composed of champion swordsmen at close range, the advantage of numbers belongs to the Grey Knights:
When you stand in front of these angels, you will face more than just the attack of the warrior in front of you.
Just like you can't understand why the opponent's slash can be dodged by you and just happen to cut off the head of the comrade next to you who is restrained by another Grey Knight.
Such seamless cooperation may have only belonged to the accidental stroke of genius between some partners who have been training and fighting together for many years.
But after Calvin arrived, such scenes occurred more and more frequently in the battles of his Honor Guard.
The Grey Knights also went from the initial surprise discovery to calm acceptance, and finally to accustomed to it and didn't care.
Correspondingly, in Calvin's psychic communication, the frequency of descriptive words about specific material concepts is also decreasing.
This is because after the champion swordsmen have shared their vision and thoughts efficiently, the obstacles they need to overcome in order to communicate with each other have actually been greatly reduced.
After all, the existence of language itself is a universal communication tool created for different individuals when there is no possibility of fully understanding each other.
And this tool gave up too many personal colors and understandings for the sake of universality at the beginning of its birth.
When the natural and thorough communication system represented by Calvin was established, the "understanding-conversion-understanding" process of language, an acquired communication tool, became more and more redundant among the champion swordsmen.
They found that when they were both within the range of the psychic communication channel, the "conversion" in the middle could be completely omitted.
It would be a wonderful thing to directly understand each other's will without any misunderstanding.
Such anomalies are only beginning to emerge now, because the number of people using this communication combat is too small to be noticed.
In the future, as Calvin grows up and the new blood that inherits his gene seed gradually become the main part of the Grey Knights, this special feature will eventually be discovered by other forces in the empire during the long battle and will be marked as a characteristic exclusive to the Grey Knights.
But they can't and can't know the reason for this existence. Because every Grey Knight who can successfully join the psychic channel has already proved his high recognition of order from the soul level.
Such Grey Knights are even stronger than their original predecessors in terms of the strength of their will. In the past 8,000 years, the will of the older generation of Grey Knights is still unmatched, not to mention these "new" Grey Knights who have been assimilated by Calvin's gene seed since birth and are naturally closer to high-energy creatures than their predecessors?
In addition to Calvin himself, who can make these Grey Knights speak out the "little secrets" belonging to their own legion?
Even the Emperor... Well, let's not discuss this issue for the time being...
In short, as this system, which is currently limited to combat use, is gradually promoted and used in other directions, living in silence, training in silence, and fighting in silence will eventually become the inherent impression of the Grey Knights in most people's minds.
Except for the occasional battle cry and communication when fighting with friendly forces, you can hardly find the communication between these silver angels even in daily life, but they are so tacit that they seem to be one person.
No matter which company, no matter which order. Even in the future, the personnel of the Grey Knights will no longer be tight, and the organization will no longer be fluid.
Grey Knights across the star domain may not have seen each other for centuries since the transformation surgery.
But as long as they meet on the battlefield, they don't need to talk, just look at each other from a distance, and they can quickly find the tacit understanding they should have, as if they have been fighting together for countless years.
This combat method that is completely different from other Astartes and even from the Guards of the Imperial Guards distinguishes them from all the previous works of the Emperor.
"Silent Angels" has become the unique name of the Astartes for this group of maverick "brothers". (No Astartes knew the genetic origin of the Grey Knights. At most, they only knew that the Grey Knights existed.)
The above descriptions still belong to the future, and at present, the seeds of these things are still in the bud.
With the adaptation of the first battle, the cooperation of the champion swordsmen has become more and more proficient. With Gavins and Gold as the next level of guarantee at the command level, Calvin confidently withdrew from the management command sequence.
He no longer joins the specific array. In addition to the occasional charge, one-on-one elimination of the opponent's powerful units to ensure the smoothness of the battle line has become the only thing Calvin can do now.
This continuous rolling charge has been continuing. After the front line advances, the interceptor team slowly closes in from both sides and retreats to keep up with Calvin's team to ensure the safety of the team behind.
The number of corpses is still increasing, and the endless enemies are still coming from afar.
But the whole team's pace of advancement is firm and unstoppable. The entrance of the nest several kilometers away, which was originally blurred, has become clearer and clearer.
Double update! Put your hands on your hips and be proud! Hahahaha!
