Chapter 272 Long-Term Planning and the Birth of Saint Marduk

Chapter 272 Long-term planning and the birth of Saint Marduk

The alien fleet relied on its strange high speed and powerful artillery fire to fight with the Astartes fleet, which had the advantage of manpower and home field, for dozens of minutes.

But after the Korkash Fortress World burst into a huge firework, it finally chose to retreat helplessly.

The alien ruler named the Silent King reserved the awakening equipment for his subordinates here. After Calvin accidentally dismantled it two thousand years in advance, the last remedy attempted by his guards also failed under the prophecy of the Emperor.

The curse that originated from the Necron Dynasty and lasted for thousands of years on the rulers of Orpheus came to an end.

This Necron Dynasty named Menak can only be awakened from its slumber after their supreme ruler, the Silent King himself, returns to the Milky Way and takes action personally.

A tragedy that originally affected four major star regions was eliminated thousands of years in advance;

The future of the annihilation of hundreds of billions of people and the death of several Astartes regiments here was also rewritten.

Orpheus finally regained its long-lost tranquility. With the intervention of Calvin, the "variable", it escaped the tragic fate of being completely abandoned by the empire in the official history.

Calvin did not have a global perspective like the emperor, and he knew nothing about the impact of his actions here.

He was like a soldier who was loyal to his duty, only asking where the enemy was, not why he was fighting.

What this soldier cared about most at this time was the life and death of the old man named Marduk.

After doing his best to save his life, Calvin fell into the myriad of things to do to finish Orpheus.

It was several months later that Marduk fully recovered and walked out of the life support cabin.

During this period, Calvin, who returned to Amara, the capital of Orpheus, sat in the center.

With unprecedented energy, he pushed Orpheus's government affairs to accelerate and transform from wartime to peacetime.

Orpheus Sector (including four major star sectors, the Empire has not yet certified this, this is a special name for the convenience of description.)

The people in the Orpheus Sector not only need security, but also bread and milk are their basic needs after achieving precious peace.

The economy is the ultimate embodiment and extension of politics, and politics is the concentrated embodiment of the economy.

Knowing this well, Calvin must first build a complete and stable ecological structure for the sector's politics and political rules that can operate healthily and smoothly.

The appointment of personnel is the basis of everything, which is different from the materialistic world.

The absolute difference in power caused by people's talents and the different rates of return on the same amount of resource investment are naked realities that Calvin cannot deny or ignore.

Can the Star Army built with 10,000 throne coins really be equal to the Space Marines built with 10,000 throne coins?

If so, what should the Emperor do?

This is not a peaceful period, and Calvin has no right to ask the entire race struggling to survive to consider human rights equality.

The war between the warp and alien races has made the empire never have long-term peace. Every world is either at war or preparing for war.

Shouting that everyone is equal in such an environment? That is too extravagant and too hypocritical.

This is the reality that Calvin faces, and he must adapt to this situation. The appointment of personnel is also based on this thinking and can be put into action.

The heir of the Ondan family in Orpheus has been affirmed by Calvin;

When the family lost its leader soon after taking over the star zone, it received support from the top of the empire.

As a reward and inevitable price, the Ondan family's transfer of the power of the star zone has strengthened the power of the Inquisition here from top to bottom.

The establishment of the Grand Council has made the power of the three major orders in Orpheus form a complete permanent institution;

The infiltration of various departments in the entire sector makes the Inquisition like a cold star, integrating into the long-term operation of the entire sector in a silent way.

The candidate for the governor of the Hassan sector was finally settled, and the competition for this place by several forces failed;

Under Calvin's arbitrary decision, Admiral Juan became the unexpected candidate.

The placement of the Astartes was also confirmed during this period:

Under Calvin's leadership, although the Orpheus sector already had an Astartes regiment stationed, it still extended an invitation to the Angels of the Dead.

As the fourth planet from the sector capital, the world of Liberace was eventually selected by the regiment as their exclusive world for future stationing.

This regiment was highly praised by Calvin.

Compared to the Orpheus Archon Regiment, which also had the blood of Guilliman flowing in it, the Angels of the Dead had a much higher presence in the Orpheus Campaign;

The latter seemed to be too obsessed with obedience to Otarama and forgot their basic duty to defend the empire's territory.

During the long Orpheus Campaign, this regiment with Orpheus in its name had its main forces in the distant Extreme Star Region throughout the entire process and never appeared on the battlefield of Orpheus.

Their unconditional response to Ultramar made them absent from the sector defense war where their home planet was located.

Such an Astartes Chapter that neglected its basic duties could not be trusted by Calvin.

The Abusers Chapter was also on the list of rewards. As an Astartes Chapter that had fought side by side with Calvin, Calvin originally wanted to place it in the Hassan Sector as a reward for the former's generous support for Orpheus.

But this chapter has its own profound cultural heritage. Influenced by the culture of its parent group, they are not interested in the defense of a certain star zone;

Instead, the continuous pursuit of some Chaos Space Marines is the mission that this chapter attaches the most importance to.

Calvin negotiated with the leader of this chapter several times. After many in-depth conversations, Calvin confirmed their demands.

This descendant of Corax is obsessed with hunting down his old enemy. In order to facilitate their support and replenishment, the chapter alliance in the Krieg system opened its arms to them.

They will receive unconditional support from the chapter alliance and its huge industrial system, and continue to patrol the entire empire in a ship-based combat mode.

The division of personnel and governance ends here, which can be regarded as a basic framework.

The demarcation of the economic circle and the layout of the industries within it also began to expand to the other three star zones with Orpheus as the center.

Under the strong leadership of Calvin, the sector government strongly promoted the reasonable planning and adjustment of large industries.

Local nobles and vested interest groups were defeated, and most of them showed a valuable "risk spirit" and were willing to serve the overall interests of the empire and the sector.

As for the few local forces that pretended to obey but secretly resisted, they all withdrew from the political stage of the empire for various reasons in the following decades under the pervasive and deliberate targeting of the Inquisition.

It was against this background that Marduk woke up in the medical layer of the Angel of Punishment in the third month after the Battle of Korkash.

The imperial envoys who reported from the Terra Administrative Council to the Senate for approval and then returned to Orpheus via the Ophelia VII world also brought the news that Marduk had been canonized.

The Orpheus sector launched a huge celebration ceremony for this, which lasted for decades.

Tens of millions of pilgrims who followed Saint Marduk marched in the entire sector with singing and dancing.

Their colonization and resettlement also took place silently here.

More foreign populations came from the entire Storm Star Region and even other territories of the empire.

This wave of pilgrims, which lasted for a hundred years, not only brought continuous foreign population to the entire Storm Star Region, but also laid a solid foundation for the development of Orpheus.
