Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 367 Hurry up!
"Well, I take back what I said earlier..." Calvin smiled and did not argue with these fanatical admirers of the Emperor.

With his current status and resources, if he wanted to do something for these Battle Sisters, he could have a better way that the other party could not refuse.

In fact it is.

In the 20th year since Calvin returned to Terra, after the proposal of the state religion of the Empire and the promotion of the Tribunal, the Senate of Terra finally approved:
The three major Sisters of Fighting Sisters, whose headquarters are resident in the Holy Hermitage of Ophelia, have all received valuable places to set up branches once.

At that time, the Sisters of the Bloody Rose Fighting Sisters, who had recovered from the damage to the establishment, received the double favor of the Empire State Church and the Tribunal:
A rare display of generosity by the Reich Church.

They promised to pay all the expenses of this new order during the establishment of the army, and guarantee their future world distribution for conscription and garrison.

And the trial court is even more silent.

In a dark night that no one knows, a mechanical priest who claimed to be from Krieger stepped down from the starport of their garrison world.

On behalf of the huge industrial complex behind him, he signed a 300-year equipment supplement agreement with this Sisters of Fighting Sisters.

The price is a Throne Coin.Well, an extremely expensive price...

Of course, these are all things to say later, and now Calvin, after finishing his conversation with the Battle Sisters, turned his questioning gaze to the company commanders of the Ultramarines and the Imperial Fists.

Backed by the strong power of the five hundred worlds of Ultramar, the former does not lack industrial consumables such as weapons and equipment.

So from Stewart's highly emotional and politically savvy dialogue, Calvin, on behalf of his Hammer Order, expressed that he owed a precious favor to the Ultramarines.

And under the warm invitation of the former, Calvin promised that if he had time, he would go to the five hundred worlds of Ultramar in person to "look up" to the Emperor's Son, the Regent of the Empire, the sacred Primarch, and the Lord of the No.13 Legion —Glory to Robert Guilliman.

As for whether the relationship between Calvin and the Ultramarines is really a simple visit and "pilgrimage" trip as they agreed on the surface, only they themselves know...

His eyes turned to Hounthorne, the company commander of the Imperial Fist.

Even though Calvin had dealt with the Sons of Dorne more than once, he was mentally prepared for this talk.

But when it came time to come into contact with this group of "stone men", Calvin would still lament their stubbornness, and seriously doubt whether the genes of the "final wall" of the empire were too strong.

Otherwise, why is every son of Dorne he has met so introverted and not good at talking...

"We have nothing to say... well, if I have to say it, Terra's conscription incident is evened out."

After saying this, the high-ranking commander of the Imperial Fist turned around and left in the astonishment of Calvin and Stuart.

"This..." Rao was as emotionally intelligent as Stuart, and he was overwhelmed by Hornthorne's manipulation.

He looked at Calvin for help, hoping that this "giant" who is not only rising in the imperial power system, but also will soon have his own strong influence in the Astartes group, will not be overwhelmed by Hounthorn's Straightforward and offended.

And as far as he knew, the current situation of the Imperial Fist was far from the ideal shown on the outside.

Their losses in the "Beast War" were extremely heavy.

After the "Final High Wall Protocol" was launched, although they concentrated the strength of all the "Emperor Fist" wargroups, they struggled to win the battle against the orcs.

But as a price, the headquarters of the Imperial Fist—that is, the direct line of troops from the Seventh Legion of the Great Crusade era—had died with the death of Kurland, the last blood of the warband and the second company commander. Completely lost the last kindling.

Yes, this start-up battle group is no longer the one left by Roger Dorn.

Today's Imperial Fist is mainly composed of the Astartes of the Paradigm Fist with a shameful record of betrayal, and is composed of gene seeds donated by other "Imperial Fists" Astartes.

And their situation is not satisfactory, although the coup led by Kurland can be said to be a helpless move due to the current situation.

But even if the final result is good, it still destroys Roboute Guilliman's original intention and painstaking efforts in compiling the "Astarte Codex".

The fragile trust in the Astartes that the political center of the empire had re-established after a thousand years was trampled and shattered again in this coup.

The mortal rulers headed by the Imperial Council have, without exception, looked at the Mountain Array floating behind the moon with suspicion and fear at the beginning of their tenure.

Is the Imperial Fist guilty?Of course the current empire would not admit it.

Because without the sacrifice of the Imperial Fist, it is still uncertain whether the current Empire can exist.

Is the Imperial Fist innocent?
It is precisely because of their reckless and brutal "riot" that the empire will never think of taking the dangerous beast of the Astartes Chapter Freed from the bondage of the Holy Code.

There is no other reason, just because mortals clearly know that this beast is an existence that they cannot control.Once released, there is no chance of driving it back to its cage.

Warlord separatism is already the lightest consequence of this kind of behavior. Under the leadership of the military government, militarism and the complete destruction of the empire are the most likely outcome.

Can't let go...can't let go...

This is the most important entrustment to the successor when the rulers of the past dynasties come to the end of their lives.

How innocent are the other Chapters of the Empire?What is the crime of the billions of people in the empire?

Because of the internal consumption of resources caused by this kind of distrust, and the failure of local wars caused by this kind of distrust, who should be turned to collect debts for the hundreds of millions of imperial soldiers and hundreds of millions of civilians who died?

At this time, someone will always make a note in the ledger of the Imperial Fist.

Maybe it was a veteran of the empire who knew the crisis ahead, but did not dare to let the Astartes fight together;
Maybe it was the leader of a certain Astartes Chapter who saw countless people of the empire dying, but because he had less than a thousand troops in his hands, he was careless.

Because of the information and intelligence advantages brought by their identities, these high-ranking people deeply understand where this nail that has been deeply carved in the body of the empire since the Great Rebellion came from.

They even know who it is, after experiencing a precious thousand years of life, they tore apart this wound that should have gradually healed with the passage of time and turned it into an inextricable knot.

People die.

The dead Kurland is doomed not to know, and cannot continue to pay the price for this behavior.Maybe let him choose again, as the son of Dorne, he will make the same choice.Who knows?
Can live a sin that cannot be redeemed!
The defeat caused by these problems in every foreign war of the empire is a bad debt that is written down by the mortal rulers on the fist of the empire!
And the humiliation and suspicion that every Astartes battle group received because they were not trusted was that they became increasingly indifferent to the Imperial Fist, and finally saw this Imperial Fist that had a bad relationship with the Black Templar in their own system The final cause of declining, irrelevant business!
But now, an opportunity was in front of Hornshorn, but he stubbornly refused to bend down to take it.

Because of the birth of Calvin, the Imperial Senate was capable and confident for the first time, and had the power equal to the Astartes Chapter on the surface.

And its leader has enough goodwill towards the Imperial Fist to be able to promote the opportunity for the Imperial Government Council and the Imperial Fist to reach a comprehensive reconciliation for the first time in thousands of years!Right in front of Hornhorn!

But he just refused to open his mouth!

Stuart is going crazy!

It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry for him... hurry!

　Two more!I'm so awesome!Another vote!
