Chapter 86 Afterglow
"Eat... why don't you eat?"
In the special canteen of the Champion Hall, Calvin was eating the special food in his hand for the umpteenth time.
The people sitting around him and watching him eat were his comrades in the Honor Guard who had not seen each other for five years.
After enjoying his first meal of physical food after five years, Calvin put down his knife and fork.
He looked at his quiet comrades around him. Five years was not a long time, but it was enough for several hearty battles.
When these paladins in Terminator-type power armor were not performing the tasks of the Honor Guard, they were more present to provide protection for the Grand Master on the battlefield.
Deliver the most powerful force in the most dangerous places, and perform the most stable and reliable guarding function in the most dangerous places.
This is the daily life of the paladins.
In addition to their daily protective work, they are also one of the strongest individual soldiers on the battlefield.
So as the strongest people besides the Grand Master, they are also most often regarded as the "sharp knife" part of the psychic discipline, used to break the strongest defense line or kill the most evil enemies.
If something is too hard, it will break easily. Therefore, the casualty rate of the Paladins, who are always used as the tip of a knife, has always been high.
When they are required to perform tasks other than their guard duties on the battlefield, it usually means that the battle situation is already very bad.
The commander needs to throw him, the second-ranked reserve force, into the battle to turn the tide.
So, he either directly breaks through the face of the opponent's leader with the psychic enhancement of the entire team of Grey Knights. If he wins, he will kill the opponent on the spot; if he loses, he will be snatched back under the cover of the Grey Knights' sacrifice, but there is no guarantee whether the snatched back is still alive.
Fortunately, they are brave enough and lucky enough that Calvin can still see their faces completely after waking up from this hibernation.
However, the dangers of the battlefield are inevitable, so these Paladins have more or less a few scars on their armor or faces that are difficult to be erased by time.
After circling around these veterans, Calvin asked everyone. "Which company are you following now?"
"Our combat organization is not exactly the same as the Paladins. During the current duty period, we are all 4-4, one team for me and one team for Golden. The rest of the people rotate."
Gasven answered, and then he slapped his forehead in Calvin's curious eyes, took out the psychic seed that Calvin left at the beginning, held it in his hand and said:
"Because of this, even when you are not here, we can still maintain the same frequency at a limited distance. So our tactical positioning has been permanently changed."
When he saw the seed, Calvin understood the reason for all this.
"Ah, the secondary sub-channel that spontaneously formed after leaving the mother body? This is very interesting."
In a small-scale frequency, it is also the same frequency, and he still has an unparalleled special effect in tactics. Especially in some special terrains and organizations, this kind of thought sharing and frequency sharing will multiply the weight of one's own organization geometrically. After all, four terminators and one consciousness controlling four terminators have completely different firepower densities.
Calvin's only question now is how much difference this seed has produced from the main body after losing contact with it for so long.
Will this difference affect its communication with the mother body? If not, is it necessary to repair these differences?
Calvin took the psychic "seed" from Gavins's hand, and he could feel the response of this seed to his mother body.
There is no problem with communication. Although the channels of thought communication are much less than his latest one, this is a version problem, and it can be upgraded.
Below is the state of the entire seed, which is also growing in one of the several possible directions preset by Calvin.
This also made Calvin feel relieved, because any changes that may occur at this stage, even if they seem to have many benefits, are definitely not what Calvin wants.
That means that the growth setting of the seed has gone out of control under the dual interference of psychic energy and subspace.
Once this happens, Calvin's best way is to find all users of this seed and take back the seed.
Completely seal it, abandon it, and never activate it.
After all, there is a story about the Thousand Sons in the old materials, and Calvin has clearly understood it.
For matters related to psychic energy and subspace, any fluke may eventually lead to the conspiracy and malice of the Lord of Tampering.
Calvin would rather get only the most clumsy harvest from every experiment and exploration than see those possible "accidents and surprises."
The "seed" or anchor point of spiritual energy taken from Gavins in front of him made Calvin very pleased with its stability and the purity of Gavins' spiritual energy.
If either of them was missing, then the state of this seed would not be so intact now that it has been five years since Calvin left.
Calvin gently lifted the spiritual energy "seed" in his palm, put his hands together, closed his eyes and infused his own spiritual energy into it.
The latest spiritual energy characteristics of him were then instilled into this seed, and naturally included a little understanding and characteristics of salvation.
After he returned the seed to Gavins, the other party put it back on his forehead.
After completing the above procedures with all members of the guard, Calvin talked to them about what happened before Calvin fell into a coma.
"So, in the end, there were three extermination orders?" Calvin asked.
"Yes, three, all in Efrain." Gavins replied.
"We gave birth to one for them?" Calvin continued.
"Indeed, the bipolar cyclone torpedo is restricted by imperial decree, and only two are allowed to be stored in a star zone. The one on our ship was temporarily transferred from the Hercules star zone." Gavins said.
"Did you use it in the end?"
"I used it, and after I came back, I found out that a barge took "it" away before we set off."
"Okay..."
The next day, Calvin returned to his residence and completed the atonement ceremony for the armor under the witness of the technical sergeant.
After he put on the well-maintained Terminator power armor with the help of auxiliary machinery, he walked towards the church where the Grand Master was.
In a main road of Titan, Calvin walked towards the Grand Master's office under the cathedral in his unique huge, silver Terminator power armor.
What awaited him was the final assessment and report of this mission, as well as the arrangement of the next mission.
But what he was thinking about on the way was not this, but the information and clues he had collected when he was in the atmosphere of SATA No. 1.
The documents about the Imperial Governor Hailan that Calvin obtained on SATA No. 1 had been sorted and purified after he returned to Titan.
The timeline of the disease contamination of the entire SATA section can also get some useful information from other materials.
Although five years have passed. But Calvin knew that no one in the decision-making level of the Empire was satisfied with this battle that ended with the extermination order.
This is a manifestation of their incompetence and a shame for the entire Inquisition and the Grey Knights.
Therefore, any information about the disease in the SATA section can interest the Inquisition and the Grey Knights.
They have indeed been using this information to review the entire battle afterwards, in order to find the fleeting opportunity for victory that may have existed at the time.
Severe cold, update, and ask for votes.
