Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 183 The final meeting, and the helplessness of the two parties

Thought for the day: When an accident is interrupted by an accident, an accident is not an accident.

In the days that followed, with the help of the sages of the Order of Ominous Omens, the entire Mechanical Ark was making various preparations for this unprecedented transformation ceremony.

From materials to equipment modulation, from psionic arrays to the placement of medical staff.

Calvin was not idle either. While making various requests, he was also taking no time to meet with the mechanical cardinals of the Order of Omens to set a long-term development policy for the future here.

This is not a foundry world, but the huge industrial manufacturing system that is almost the same has now grown extremely large.

Under the expansion of the central galaxy, more than a dozen nearby galaxies have become subsidiary units that provide mining or agricultural resources.

In the future visible to the naked eye, this place will develop into a new star area in a hundred years.Even if it goes well, it is not impossible to become the capital of a certain section.

But all this can only go so far, because if it continues to develop, the resources here will not be enough to support sustainable development, and foreign trade will become unavoidable.

And once the large-scale trade starts, everything here will be exposed to the eyes of the various forces in the empire.

The Omen Order may be able to shelter a galaxy, but a star sector is by no means a benefit that they can swallow alone.

Several Astartes Chapters have also been included in the plan to protect the here.Because everything here is not only the result of Calvin and the Order of Omens, but also the indispensable foundation of these battle groups.

Called by Calvin, four high-ranking members of the warband participated in this important meeting on the St. Chris.

They were told that under the mediation of Calvin, the cardinals and sages of the Order of Ominous Omens were willing to sign an agreement with them.

Henceforth, the vast industrial capacity here will be open to their warbands.

The materials that this star area can provide to them will not be limited to conventional weapons such as power armor, chainsaw swords, and storm bolt guns.

As long as the reservation is made in advance, power weapons, Terminator power armor, poison blade heavy tanks, and air vehicles are all included in the list of weapon transactions.

Even under some major damage, the large warship reserves under construction in the dock on the Iron Ring Belt can be opened to them to a limited extent.

And since there is a biological sage who can guide genetic technology, a complete set of recruit training bases can be established here under his leadership.

No matter the success rate or the operation cycle, the transformation operation jointly performed by the biological sage and the pharmacist sent by the battle group is not comparable to the existence of the pharmacist.

The chapter leaders are very interested in this, because being controlled by others because of equipment has always been a pain point for these chapters; as for the follow-up recruit training base, it is a huge surprise.

From now on, they will end the wandering experience of the ship-based battle group, and completely get rid of the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads for "replenishment of troops".

After Calvin and these Chapter Leaders discussed eagerly, four large fortress monasteries and their affiliated defense systems were successively marked on the map of the galaxy.

They will leave enough strength when they go out to fight, and while training recruits, they will also defend everything here.

"Three times!" Calvin stretched out his palm, making this gesture.

"You need three times the staffing of the Holy Code, otherwise it is not enough to guarantee the safety of the mission."

"But..." Elvis looked troubled.

The authority of the "Sacred Codex Astartes" is so prominent that even though it has been issued for thousands of years, this pharmacist who almost completely "destroyed the group" still maintains basic respect for it.

"My lord, please understand our difficulties. We are not Gray Knights, we must respect the authority of a Primarch."

Adelaide also participated in the conversation, telling Calvin about their difficulties.

"What do you two think?" Calvin was not in a hurry to persuade, but looked at the leaders of the other two battle groups.

"We... need to think carefully." The Chapter Master of the Wailers didn't affirm, but he didn't deny either.

It was obvious that the poverty and indifference that he had suffered before had made him deeply tormented, and he never wanted to go back to the days when he had nowhere to turn for help.However, due to the opinions of his allies, he could not directly agree with Calvin's statement.

"Moloch?" Calvin turned his attention to the tauren who had never spoken.

"I listen to your lord!" Moloch's simple and straightforward answer brought a smile to the corner of Calvin's mouth.

"Why?" he continued.

"Guilliman is the Primarch, and so are you. The law promulgated by the adults who have never seen it and the words spoken by the adults who have seen it, I choose the latter."

Moloch said so.

In fact, this is how people talk. It is simple and clear, but it easily touches the essence of this conversation.

The three chapter leaders were dumbfounded. After looking at each other, they looked in Calvin's direction with some guilt.

They always forget the true identity of this lord under Calvin's gentle conversation.

It wasn't until Moloch reminded them that they were repentant, realizing that the person who made the suggestion before them was also a holy Primarch, a living Primarch standing in front of them.

And his seemingly genial suggestion, in a sense, can also be understood as a kind of euphemistic order.

"Please forgive me!" The three chapter leaders couldn't maintain a stable sitting posture, and they all stood up and saluted Calvin.The mechanical sages who participated in the meeting turned a blind eye to this and waited quietly.

Under these apologies, Calvin slowly dispelled the depression created by these guys who didn't know what to do and who still bargained.

At this point, the atmosphere of the conversation had undergone a qualitative change. Now that the words had been broken by Moloch, Calvin no longer maintained his appearance of being approachable.

He stood up and walked to the bottom of the star map at the end of the long table, pointing to the positions of the four fortresses and monasteries and ordered back:
"You must maintain a regular force of at least fifteen companies in order to ensure the garrison needs here when you go out to perform missions! The permanent force here cannot be lower than five companies! This is the bottom line, do you understand!"

"Obey!" The four chapter leaders responded at the same time.

"The gray knights under me will go dormant on the central planet. They will wake up for ten years every hundred years to maintain a normal training level. Before I return, you will be in charge of the defense here. Is there any problem?"

"No!" It was the response of several high-level battle groups.

They finally realized their position belatedly:
The soldiers were given by Calvin, and the food and ammunition were also given by Calvin.Since all of their wealth was bestowed by Calvin, as an equal return, the only thing they can pay is loyalty.

If you still don't understand the relationship between them, then the battle group these few belong to really deserves to suffer such a fate.

White-eyed wolves are equally unpopular everywhere, not only in the Empire, but also in Chaos.

The process of the meeting began to speed up at this point, and Calvin, who was in favor of everyone, put forward one suggestion (instruction) after another, and all of them passed without accident.

In his blueprints, this galaxy would be the rear of the four Chapters.While ensuring their combat strength, they can also be effectively supplemented with equipment and personnel.

Their fighting style will also learn from the true mother order of the Imperial Fist, the Black Templars (as Calvin speaks):

Three times the compilation of holy scriptures is just the foundation.

They will use the battle group branch of the ship base as a unit, start from the solar star field, and launch expeditions in batches to each war zone in the direction of the storm star field.

As long as the Empire's information exchange does not achieve zero reaction time, no one will know the true number of their chapters.

And the galaxy they are in now happens to be on the edge of the Storm Star Field and the Solar Star Field, and it has become the only way for these battle groups to go through every expedition.

Under the guidance of Calvin, they agreed with each other in the meeting to launch the expedition.

In the interval of a hundred years, the main forces of the three chapters will be stationed on this planet alternately.

And the person in charge of this battle group will also become the rotating chairman of this alliance, responsible for the defense of the entire star area and the linkage with the Order of Omen.

This work is by no means without benefits:

As compensation for their loss of not being able to fight, the Order of Omens and the industrial system under its jurisdiction will make strong compensation.

The industrial production capacity of the entire star area will be unconditionally and free of charge to the main battle group during the 100 years.

As for the Gray Knights directly under Calvin, they will be activated on a limited basis during the long period of dormancy, so as to ensure that the basic combat capabilities do not degenerate, and at the same time, together with the armed forces of the Order of Omens, they will firmly grasp the power of this alliance. dominance.

At this point, the mechanism of the warband alliance established under the guidance of Calvin tends to be complete.

And he himself can finally carry out the final transformation ceremony with peace of mind.

In the uninhabited starry sky outside the industrial planet, the spaceships of the Eldar are still anxiously waiting for orders in silence.

They watched as the fish-like engineering ships in the mechanical ark began to scatter in the galaxy, occupying key positions one after another.

These space engineering instruments under the command of the mechanical priests of the Omen Order, without knowing it, began to build the foundation of large buildings on those planets and satellites under the skin of the Eldar pioneers.

Seeing their solemn expressions, the pioneers of the Spirit Race understood the intentions of these monkeys without thinking too much. This was to build a foundational fulcrum for a large permanent defense system.

Once these strongholds are built, the exponentially additive effect of the defense system will be generated.

And at that time, if they still want to perform the mission of the prophets in their own group, it is really a dream.

"The prophets haven't agreed yet?" Aqua walked anxiously in the hall of the Spirit Bone Spaceship.

Her emotions somehow represent the thoughts of the fighters under her command.

Seeing that the foundation of the mission goal is getting stronger and stronger, while his immediate superior is still struggling to achieve a unified will, this is very similar to a certain party in the unification/war in Calvin's previous life.

"Don't worry, it will take at least several decades for these human projects to be completed, and our follow-up fleet is coming. As long as the big fleet arrives, as long as the prophets agree, these unfinished buildings are only worthy of being countless in the universe. one of the dust."

Teresa calmed down the emotions of the generals under his command as usual, and just said the famous phrase "I have the advantage" directly.

"Yes!" Aquia didn't know where to vent her emotions. When Teresa spoke, she instantly pointed her finger at the young boss.

But before she could speak, the communication channel on the spaceship was suddenly opened.In the distance, the face of the person in charge of the main fleet that Theresa said appeared on the screen.

"My fleet has detected that a subspace force is heading towards you, please give advice immediately!"

The detection information of the fleet tens of light years away was conveyed to them across space. Under the serious eyes of Aqua and Theresa, some processed and enlarged pictures appeared in front of them.

"That's it!" Aqua pointed to a group of black meteorites silently flying towards Calvin from outside the galaxy.

If it weren't for her pointing out, those small celestial bodies would be no different from ordinary meteors in the eyes of normal people.

As the Eldar who have been deeply cultivating in the subspace since the "Battle of Heaven", their sensitivity to psionic energy can be said to be innate.

Although those black meteorites have undergone a series of camouflages, the smell that is exclusive to the subspace above is so conspicuous!
She didn't even need the help of the detection array to understand that under the disguise of those meteorites, what was hidden must be a war machine from chaos!
This was a premeditated sneak attack, and it was also Chaos' belated counterattack against Calvin's action!

"The followers of the tampering lord!" Aqua exclaimed.

"Notify the Council of Prophets immediately!" Theresa turned her head and gave an order to the crew on standby.

"I need your instructions!" The fleet commander on the main screen looked indifferent but anxious.

"The time window for interception is very short. If you miss this distance, we are not sure that they will be intercepted before they reach the target."

"..." The two people in the spirit bone spaceship looked at each other, unable to give orders for a long time.

But the commander of the fleet was still urging, and the countdown to the interception window sent by the other party was like a reminder, oppressing two confused souls.

"Interception is allowed!" Theresa gritted her teeth and spit out the order.As if looking for a reasonable reason for himself, he added the words of explanation to himself after giving the order:
"Before the order of the Prophet Council arrives, we cannot allow the target to have any possibility of losing control!"

"Received!" The fleet commander who received a clear answer immediately cut off the communication, leaving Teresa, who was somewhat regretful, with no chance to change the order.

"Am... am I doing the right thing?" Teresa doubted himself a little, and he turned his absent-minded eyes to Aqua beside him.

And the latter, as a pure fighter, was unsurprisingly more confused than he was.

"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with that..."

In the quiet bridge, the eyes of the two were equally unfocused.The battle formation of Yuanfang Fleet in the communication channel clearly told them that a cruel space naval battle had already begun.

A battle surrounding Calvin unfolded tens of light-years away without his knowledge.

And as participants in this unexpected battle, the members of both sides must be equally confused at this time...
