Chapter 366: After the War, Ending

The naval battle in the Ophelia system has come to an end.

The Imperial Fleet, at the cost of minor losses, completely left all members of the Chaos Fleet except for one heavy cruiser in the space of Ophelia forever.

The battle on the Lost Truth was also over. When the Grey Knights who had completed the clearance found Calvin, all that was left in front of him was the completely collapsed body of "Alpharius", who was still standing upright with the help of power armor.

No one knew who this mysterious existence was, and why he could deal with their Primarch for so long;

Similarly, no one knew what they talked about, which led the Grey Knights to receive Calvin's order to let them go when they were about to surround and kill the remnants of Alpha.

But the Primarch is the Primarch, and his orders do not need to be questioned. Although the Grey Knights are puzzled by this, they will only trust and execute them unconditionally;

Again, the Primarch is the Primarch. Being able to fight Calvin for so long without any smell of the Warp, although the identity of "Alpharius" has not been revealed, the Grey Knights have already expected it in their hearts.

After their tacit battle ended, they combed the entire warship with extremely strict standards to ensure that there would be no possible omissions.

And as soon as Calvin returned to the Relentless Crusade, Tibers, who was notified in the psychic communication channel, immediately detonated hundreds of melta bombs buried on the Lost Truth.

The huge flame flow started from the plasma reactor of the Lost Truth and spread silently to the entire body of the warship.

The high-temperature plasma brought by the melta bombs and the hundreds of torpedoes launched by the Imperial Fleet held a grand funeral for the Lost Truth.

"Indeed, some changes must be made..."

Thinking of the intelligence and warnings provided to him by "Alpharius" before his death, Calvin stood in front of the porthole of the Relentless Crusade for a long time.

And after cleaning up the battlefield in the galaxy, the Imperial fleet finally began to move towards their destination-Ophelia VII.

The bridge of the Unremitting Crusade is still busy. Although the naval battle has ended, the subsequent finishing work is far more than the superficial repairs and preparations.

All the details of this battle, including all the fleet's orders and the battle encounters between the various departments, will be transcribed into text, and uploaded to the Imperial Inquisition, the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Council in triplicate after sorting and revision.

But the Lost Truth is an exception. For all the battle records of this warship, the text will only end before the boarding battle.

The details of the battle inside the Lost Truth and the communication behind it will not be recorded in any text;

The truth hidden in time, like the name of the warship, is destined to be lost in the history of the empire...

This may be a coincidence, or perhaps this is the fate of this warship when it is given this name...

The City of Grace prepared a grand parade for Calvin's return, and the latter originally planned to refuse considering that the world had just escaped from the war.

But several high-ranking members of the Inquisition reminded Calvin that this was not a simple formalism:

After experiencing the invasion of Chaos, Ophelia was in urgent need of official recognition from the Empire; the people of the Empire who had just survived the war in the entire galaxy also needed a grand celebration to celebrate the victory and appease the people.

Well, Calvin reminded himself again that he was no longer a simple soldier today, so he had to bite the bullet and participate in this celebration under the advice of his colleagues and subordinates.

So another whole week passed. With the help of Calvin in the name of the Inquisition, the Imperial Fleet used hundreds of airborne strikes by the Astartes and the Tindalos Legion between the various subcontinents of Ophelia 7 to help the Imperial Church eliminate the rebels here and restore the Empire's ruling order here.

After another month of waiting, Ophelia 7, centered on the City of Grace, officially announced the restoration of order and returned to the rule of the Empire.

The grand celebration was held again on the main road of the City of Grace. Unlike the last celebration that Calvin participated in, the protagonist of the parade this time belonged to Ophelia.

The battle sisters of the Holy Hermit Monastery and the planetary defense force proudly walked at the forefront of the parade. They (they) used their blood and steel to once again prove their loyalty and strength to the Emperor.

The Astartes of the Imperial Fists and Ultramarines walked behind. These steel-forged Emperor Angels are the symbol of the Empire. They are with the people of the Empire in battle after battle.

When they appeared in the parade wearing scarred power armor and taking firm and heavy steps, all the imperial people watching the ceremony burst into tears and were excited by this sacred and glorious scene.

But Calvin still miscalculated.

Although he stood on the main podium of the City of Grace, he did not personally participate in this celebration.

But when the thousands of Grey Knights under his command once again changed into the livery of the "Exorcist Regiment" and marched along the main roads of the City of Grace, the people of Ophelia who were fortunate enough to watch the ceremony, as well as the two Astartes companies who knew their identities, all expressed the same shock for their own reasons.

The people were shocked by the number of Grey Knights because they had never seen so many Astartes appear at the imperial celebration at the same time.

Thousands of Astartes giants were wearing armor and carrying guns at the same time, marching in a unified pace in front of the public.

The will and determination contained in them, as well as the murderous aura they had just walked down from the battlefield, made the people of the empire feel fear that came over them in an instant, but also felt great encouragement and excitement!

The reason why the two companies of the newly founded warbands were shocked was that it had only been less than a month since they separated, and the number of troops assembled under this lord had reached and exceeded the level of a full-strength warband!

How long had it been? The two Astartes company commanders looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

And that's not all!

They were familiar with the general equipment of Astartes, and they could easily tell from the emblems and emblems of the Holy Shield Power Armor on these Grey Knights that most of these Grey Knights were still recruits!

Without thinking, both of them subconsciously locked their eyes behind them.

That demigod who was so huge that he was as shocking and exciting as the first time he saw him no matter how many times he saw him again was the reason for the terrifying military appearance in front of him, which already had the prototype of the Legion.

Is this the speed at which the Legion's bloodline multiplied when the Primarch was alive?

It's really... enviable...

After the shock, the two were left with only worries about the current situation of their own Legion, and the melancholy of missing their own bloodline when their gene father was still alive during the Great Crusade.

Feeling the complex gazes of the two, Calvin also responded with a gentle smile.

"The guarding of this relic really depends on your loyalty and sacrifice.

This holy relic is extremely important to our... Chapter.

On behalf of my Chapter and my colleagues in the Inquisition, I would like to express my highest gratitude to all the Imperial warriors who fought for Ophelia!"

Calvin's powerful voice is already magnetic, and under the influence of psychic energy, it has his unique charm and persuasiveness.

When his speech sounded on the viewing terrace, in this not-so-spacious space, representatives of the Imperial Church, the Sisters of Battle, the Imperial Fists, the Ultramarines, and the Home Guard all felt the sincerity and gratitude in his tone.

The Sisters of Battle were the first to break away from their excitement. They have always been proud of their fanatical faith and loyalty to the Emperor.

It was this pride that made them reject Calvin's "thanks" without thinking.

"Loyalty is reward, faith is salvation!

We are all daughters of the Emperor, fighting for the Emperor and the Empire, so why should we talk about gratitude!"

The representative of the Bloody Rose Convent, which suffered the most losses in the "Battle of the City of Grace", Sister Edna Silvers replied.

And Margarita, the Bloody Rose Grand Sister who was supposed to attend this meeting, has returned to the throne forever with her company.
