Chapter 133 Conversation and Preparation
Three days passed in a flash.
Under the instruction of the fortress lord Calvin, the entire fortress entered a tense state of preparation for war.
The Grey Knights stationed inside the galaxy were transferred back to the fortress. Above the orbit of the planetary fortress, the cruising mortal fleet and the garrisoned weapon array were ordered to enter a tense quasi-combat state.
This was also a helpless choice. Like a hedgehog with an empty stomach, the entire Feldman galaxy was curling up its body at this time, with its spikes exposed.
Before the arrival of the new commander and his reinforcements, the remaining troops here could only make up for the lack of absolute power through such a high level of vigilance.
Calvin has reported the situation here to the Mentor Council. The nearest mobile force has rushed here. This period of blank time for the fortress's military power will not last too long.
The strike cruiser Soul Redeemer is ready.
This ship, which has been with Calvin since he officially entered service, is also in good condition under the care of the staff in the starport and can participate in the war at any time.
At 9 am, in the empty corridor of Titan II's main road, Calvin and the envoys of the Imperial Guard walked towards the Victory Hall.
There, after a short oath-taking ceremony presided over by Calvin, the Grey Knights will also be ready to set off.
"What's your name?"
In the fortress with a structure similar to that of the mother planet Titan, Calvin asked softly as they walked towards the Victory Hall where they gathered.
"Excuse me, my name is Jin."
"Well, not the full name? Well, I really don't have much time." Calvin seemed to have thought of something and replied with a smile.
"... Yes, please call me Jin." The young Imperial Guard lives up to his name, and his words are as golden as gold.
Behind Calvin's considerate appearance is an equally young heart. The second half of the mischievous explanation made the Imperial Guard, who knew his identity, relax a lot.
"You are different from what I know."
He said so. The experience of walking side by side with a giant spirit who was 3.5 meters tall in armor made him vaguely remember the appearance of the empire ten thousand years ago as described by his predecessors.
At that time, the Emperor of the Empire was still walking in the world, and 18 Primarchs were still serving under the wings of the glorious Lord of Humanity.
Although the Primarchs of that era were rare, as the guards of the Terra Palace City, most of them had had contact with the Primarchs.
Walking side by side with the gods was not a myth in that era.
"Oh? Different? With whom? Other Primarchs?" Calvin asked with a smile.
"Yes, you are different from the Primarchs I know." Jin answered cautiously.
He recalled everything he knew from the video materials and documents, and those figures that were either majestic, holy and noble, or high and cold, or full of animality passed through his mind one by one.
Each of them was a very charismatic existence. But none of them was the same as the one in front of him.
Jin shook his head with some self-mockery, and still spoke out of turn.
Objectively and cautiously, every Primarch should be outstanding and different, but the one in front of him should be particularly special.
"You don't look burdened." Jin sorted out his chaotic thoughts and expressed his views based on his keen observations.
He didn't understand the reason for this difference, but as far as he knew, after putting aside the external characteristics and personal charm of each gene original, there was actually not much difference between their spiritual cores.
"Well, burden?" Calvin thought for a while and said, "I can probably give you an answer to this question."
"Please, teach me." Jin said.
"The reason why I have no burden is that my responsibilities and missions are all due to my own will, not imposed on me by others."
"Hmm? Is that so?" Jin responded.
This conversation ended here, and the two had no other conversations on the way.
Calvin continued to think about the defense of the fortress group in silence, while Jin was savoring the words he had just heard.
Calvin's words seemed ordinary, but the implicit information was not ordinary. In what he said, there was such a premise:
Assuming that his mission was chosen by himself. Then the question is, are there really people who are born saints?
Of course there is, the Emperor is like that.
But what about others? Even the Primarchs, before meeting the Emperor, knew their mission from birth?
Or did the will of the soul come first, and then the physical body? So what role did the Emperor play in it?
The details are worth exploring, and thinking about it makes people tremble with fear.
Jin felt that he might be only one step away from the truth, but he couldn't ask more questions, which really made this young warrior feel bad.
On the way, Jin looked at the silent Calvin several times, but he couldn't ask his doubts.
And during the time he was struggling, the two of them arrived at their destination.
"Here we are." Calvin said.
Jin raised his head, and he just pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked at the environment in front of him. It was consistent with the description in the data, but the experience of being there made his eyes solemn.
The dome over a hundred meters high was engraved with silver holy inscriptions, and the same words were engraved on the base of the sky-high corridor. Those were the names of the Grey Knights who served here.
The places where the murals made of colored gemstones are on the walls are mostly blank because of their short history.
But the murals that already have content describe the battle record of Lord Calvin and the battle against Tzeentch that took place here.
The huge statue of the Emperor is made of pure gold, with His magnificent body on the dome and His feet on the ground.
The golden laurel wreath and the armor of the same color stand upright, and a golden giant sword is propped on the ground under His folded hands, with a huge book inserted in the middle of the sword.
That is the legendary Demon Codex where the Grey Knights collect the true names of the demons in the warp.
Jin clearly knows the symbolic meaning of it, and also understands that it is actually the symbol of the Grey Knights themselves.
In this victory hall that is even larger and more majestic than the original on Titan, in front of the equally tall relic stand under the feet of the Emperor, 15 Grey Knights have been ready and waiting for Calvin's arrival.
Fifteen Grey Knights, this is not a lot in the eyes of the Adeptus Astartes who are used to seeing them.
Even in his understanding, the Imperial Guards of the Ten Thousands had already been secretly restored. If it were not for the emergency, he could easily send several times more people to carry out this mission.
But the fifteen champion swordsmen wearing Terminator power armor are definitely not an armed force in the general sense. In the regular Astartes warband, they represent the essence of the entire warband.
Coupled with the special identity of Calvin himself, the ability of this force is not comparable to that of three simple Astartes squads.
You know, a Primarch plus his honor guard, even in the distant era of the Great Crusade, this is also enough to destroy cities and countries.
This is definitely a support lineup that can satisfy Jin, even the shield guard captain he represents will not despise such a combination.
"I have notified the nearest theater command that Captain Stern, who is closest to me, will arrive later to temporarily take over my position."
Calvin said this to the Imperial Guards envoy Jin. At the same time, he was also telling him that the power in front of him was ready and ready to go at any time.
