Chapter 394 Journey and Accidents

"Item No. 3900*0423 has been notified and the scheduled progress has been completed."

The servoskull with the suspension system floated between the two and interrupted their conversation.

Calvin did not say anything more, but looked at the location of the furnace star through the porthole covered by the protective deck for a few seconds, and then walked out of the gray ceramic steel door.

Nicholas followed closely behind, following the Primarch to the corridor outside the door.

The Honor Guard on duty nodded slightly after seeing the two, then raised the halberd in his hand and followed silently.

The group walked towards the special elevator leading to the lower level of the bridge. The knocking sound of steel boots on the deck spontaneously kept pace with the Primarch, and it was impossible to tell them apart if you didn't listen carefully.

"Notify the Parthenon Inquisitor that the scheduled meeting will be postponed to 4 hours later."

Estimating the time he might spend in the test area, Calvin told the captain of the Imperial Guard beside him.

The intelligence analysis meeting on the current situation in the Janmoro sector was supposed to start after the fleet set out, but it was postponed to today because of various previous affairs.

Calvin hoped to sort out the situation there before arriving in Janmoro, but what he didn't know was that the situation there had long been out of the control of the Empire.

And the larger-scale pollution and internal confrontations within the Empire that were brewing there had long been out of his worst expectations.

Nicholas nodded to Calvin, sending the Primarch's order through the data board in his hand.

Calvin kept walking and discussing the issue of the Eye of the Empire with the former.

"I have seen the recent tactical exercises of the Imperial Guards, and I think you have heard enough of the praise. I only have one thing to say, about the unsatisfactory effect of anti-subspace operations, what do you want to say?"

This was a question that Nicholas had expected long ago, but when the Primarch asked him the question, he still couldn't help but fall into a moment of embarrassment.

"... There is no intention to explain, we are indeed lacking in this regard."

Nicholas's expression remained unchanged, only his eyes flickered slightly, and his recovery was slightly stuck for a moment, and then he returned to normal.

But this in itself can already explain a lot. It is an extremely rare thing to make the proud Emperor's Eagle Guard admit defeat.

"... You..." Calvin was also hesitating whether to take care of the pride of the Imperial Guards. But since the Imperial Guards are going to return to the battlefield of the Empire, this is a problem they cannot escape.

The Primarch finally chose to expose the problem to prevent unnecessary pride from causing unnecessary damage.

"Go and find the Sisters of Silence, even if you have... betrayed them."

"... I will report to Lord Trajan truthfully and seriously consider your suggestions."

Nicholas said so, and ended this short conversation with this attitude.

"That's it..." Calvin, who was standing at the elevator door, was about to say goodbye to Nicholas, but a sudden shock interrupted his conversation.

Scarlet warning lights instantly replaced the blue and white regular lighting. Inside the warship, which suddenly turned dark red, the alarm from the bridge was broadcasting emotionlessly:

"Warning! Warning! Emergency 0963, high collision warning! Repeat! High collision warning! Please evade in advance according to the Regulations!"

"What's the situation?" Calvin connected the bridge direction, and Fleet Admiral Tibers informed him of the current situation:

"Energy turbulence caused by unknown reasons, and there may be space-time interference in the core part. The fleet is turning to evade, and there is no big problem."

"Is this the first time in three days?" Calvin was not convinced by Tibers' explanation, but frowned to confirm with the former.

Tibers was powerless to do anything about it, and could only tell Calvin the speculation of the chief engineer, Bishop Klein:

"It is indeed a bit abnormally dense. Bishop Klein means that there may be some kind of interference source in our fleet, which is continuously releasing signals that can attract this part of energy.

It is recommended to avoid all high-psychic activities as much as possible during this period to avoid unexpected effects."

"Received, check! I'm waiting for your results!"

Calvin hung up the communication and said goodbye to the guards of the Imperial Guard, then stepped onto the elevator leading to the laboratory in the middle area.

There were not many people in the test area at this time. The mechanical priest Stovan, who had completely defected from Mars and joined the Omen Order, was here to replace Constantine.

When Calvin and the members of the Honor Guard appeared at the door of the laboratory, this technical expert who was born on Mars but wore the robe of the Omen Order showed his not-so-devout faith with a rare prayer to the Emperor.

"Emperor's blessing! You are finally here! The transformation of the psychic components of the Erebus Bell has been completed, and it is waiting for you to activate it!"

"Activate?" Calvin was about to agree to Stovan's request, but he remembered Tiberus' warning in an instant.

"Let's change the time." Calvin looked at the brand new Erebus Bell in the experimental hall and said to Stovan beside him.

The Erebus Bell, which is made entirely of psychic metal parts, has discarded many redundant parts that were produced to make up for the performance. Its shape is also very different from Calvin's previous impression.

What Calvin cares about most is its overall shape. The entire huge device has become closer to a sphere after losing its edges and corners.

And under this device, there is an extra chain whose purpose is unknown.

"I'm afraid not..." Stovan unexpectedly rejected Calvin's "proposal", even though he knew the significance of the man in front of him to the Order of Doom.

After hearing Stovan's refusal, the Primarch turned around. After recalling the details of the signal source mentioned by Tibers before, his look at Stovan quickly changed from surprise to condescending suspicion and scrutiny.

"I'll give you a chance to explain, Brother. You should cherish it."

The Primarch's tone was not loud, but both Stovan himself who faced the Primarch and the Honor Guard behind Calvin knew the obvious suspicion and murderous intent.

Warp navigation itself is a dangerous thing, and at this juncture Calvin is responsible for the safety of the entire fleet.

In fact, there was no need for the Primarch to order them to take action. In the silence when Stovan did not respond for a long time, the psychic sword on Golden's waist was slowly pulled out with the sound of metal friction.

"We may not have another chance." Stovan raised his head in the suffocating silence and explained to Calvin.

"The psychic metals extracted from the wreck are only enough for this reorganization, and according to our observations, the activity of these metals is irreversible, similar to decay. If we miss this activation, I don't know if we can find other similar substances."

"Why now?" Calvin asked.

"Because the last component is just being formed, and the metal consumption of this part is far more than we expected."

"Which part?" Calvin asked.

"Here, it's the chain."

Update, there is another chapter, but it may be later.
