Chapter 108 I Have Been Ordered to Take You Home.

The environment of the bridge was no different from when Calvin left last time, but after the fragile tacit understanding between the three people was completely broken, the atmosphere of the entire bridge returned to the original moment, or even worse.

After ignoring the figures of the staff who were still busy under the stage, Calvin's attention only stayed on the bright red back standing in front of the holographic map in a daze.

As Calvin's footsteps approached, Ma Wei, who was immersed in his data terminal, and Constantine, who had been staring at the map for a long time in silence, turned around and looked at this figure who stood out from the crowd even among the Grey Knights and was different from others.

This is a young and charming soul. He has been recognized by his chapter at such a young age.

The rank represented by the title of Arbitrator is not a position that a newcomer who is less than a hundred years old can get in any Astartes Chapter.

Moreover, with the special combat method of the Grey Knights, as the commander of the detachment, the position of Arbitrator is often the actual person in charge of a region.

The information and power that this kind of authority can access and mobilize can be compared with some ordinary Astartes commanders, and may even be higher under special circumstances.

Such a person, at this age, has obtained such a position, which cannot be easily explained by special circumstances.

Such a person, if you still want to use your experience to induce and deceive him, then after this young lion comes to his senses, you will surely suffer a painful revenge.

Constantine also thought about continuing to insist on his opinion, but the young Calvin obviously knew his bottom line clearly and was not fettered by false human feelings.

His intention to use the Grey Knight as a talisman has been discovered, and even if he forces it, he is doomed to get no good results.

After all, the legs are on other people's bodies, and once the so-called routine is discovered, the initiative is lost.

The priest finally made an expected compromise, and his old voice came out from the hood of his robe.

"Then, young arbitrator, as you wish. We are willing to send you and your subordinates to where you want to go first."

After Calvin walked into the bridge, Ma Wei, who had been holding his breath waiting for the result, finally relaxed his tense shoulders.

He knew that with Constantine's compromise and concession, the relationship between the two sides would no longer be so stiff.

As the core contradiction was resolved, the tense atmosphere between the two would eventually ease.

"So what is the reply of the fortune teller and the navigator?"

Inquisitor Ma Wei turned his eyes to the figure who had been standing on the edge of the bridge pedestal-the original ship-based mechanical priest De Liza on the black ship.

The latter is also a priest from Mars.

For this reason, when Father Constantine, who obviously occupies a more core position in the Mechanicus, boarded the ship, he regarded himself as an apprentice and silently retreated to the second line.

This is a very smart choice, at least it will not be affected in the first time when the interests of the ship conflict with the Mechanicus.

At this time, the priest who had been silent for a long time walked out from the edge of the dark bridge under Ma Wei's gaze:

"Just now, the reply message from the Demon Tribunal has been received. The astropath has received the specific coordinates and informed the navigator. The divination of the fortune teller shows that there is nothing abnormal there. The authorization code is being sent to the arbitrator..."

As his voice fell, Calvin's communication had already sounded a prompt.

On the screen of his helmet eyepiece, a contact code and a confidentiality authorization code that only he had the authority to interpret were transmitted to his data terminal.

"So what is the next voyage?"

"I will send you here first, and then I will go to the place he and the exploration fleet have agreed to with Father Constantine. Do you have any objections to this?" Ma Wei said.

"Let's do it this way." Calvin said after the problem was solved.

Just when the people on the bridge were feeling a little relieved about the next course, the navigator in front sent a warning message to the bridge:

"The subspace fluctuation is abnormal! Multiple jump points are about to appear! Automatic deceleration program is activated! Automatic avoidance program is activated!"

Dark red lights began to light up on the entire black ship as the alarm sounded. The people who had not yet separated from the previous negotiations looked at everything happening in front of them in astonishment, and were somewhat at a loss.

It was Calvin who reacted instantly. The cause and effect of the entire journey was quickly traced back in his brain, and all the possible possibilities of the unexpected situation in front of him were deduced one by one.

At a certain moment, Calvin, who had deduced the worst outcome, was furious. He shouted to Ma Wei, who was still in a daze:

"Don't slow down! Don't slow down!"

After seeing the other party's puzzled eyes, Calvin, who knew the situation was critical but had no time to explain, decisively bypassed Ma Wei's authority and directly issued instructions to the staff:

"Correct the course! But you must not slow down! In addition, notify the weapon array to charge and prepare! All ships are ready for combat at the first level!"

However, he was responded to by silent gaze. Unlike the ships of the Demonic Inquisition, the Grey Knights did not have any emergency command authority without a specific agreement.

The speed of the black ship was still decreasing. It was already close to the node speed of the subspace navigation and was sliding down unstoppably.

Father Constantine also reacted at this time. He looked at Ma Wei, who was hesitant to speak, and said:

"Confirm his order! Otherwise, we will die here!"

However, it was too late. In just a few tens of seconds, a rupture in the subspace had already appeared in the space within 5 AUs in front of the black ship.

At the same time, the same subspace rupture was being created behind the black ship.

At the jump point in front, an Oberon-class forged cruiser painted in Martian red appeared.

The opponent locked onto the black ship as soon as it returned to the real universe. While the weapon array was rapidly charging, a communication request was also sent to the black ship:

A priest whose face was completely hidden behind the mechanical transformation equipment announced to everyone on the black ship in a cold tone:

"Communication protocol code 9-λ-3971-266z3, our ship has been ordered to recover the designated materials. Forge Master Level 3 Monk Constantine, please bring the designated materials aboard as soon as possible."

"Forged cruiser from Mars? Here?" Calvin raised his eyebrows and looked at Constantine, but unexpectedly found that the other party did not have any joy.

The appearance of the other party was obviously not within Constantine's expectations, so this cruiser must not be the reinforcement he was looking forward to.

And at this critical time point, if it is not a friend, then it can only be an enemy.

What to do? Calvin's brain began to work frantically at this moment.

But unfortunately, not all problems can be solved by the ingenuity of one or two people.

For example, when there is an absolute gap in the power of the two sides, such as now.

Can't fight, can't run. This is the current situation of the black ship.

The only concern of the other party to maintain peace now is probably the information that Father Constantine himself knows and the broken STC he carries.

If you don't hand it over, you will die. If you hand Constantine over under the threat of force from the other party, he will not be surprised at what the reckless other party can do next, such as silencing him.

Despair spread in Calvin's heart for a moment, but he did not give up.

"Think about it again, think about it again. There must be a way..." He walked anxiously on the bridge.

Just as the people on the bridge were struggling over how to deal with the crisis in front of them, the subspace reaction behind the black ship also reached its peak, and a new subspace breach was torn.

At this point, the strike cruiser Redeemer of the Dead, which Calvin had not seen for a long time, jumped out.

Like the Forge Cruiser, the Grey Knight Strike Cruiser that had just jumped out also sent a communication request to the black ship impatiently.

After the signal was connected, the face of the captain of the Silver Blade, Jules, appeared on the screen.

He greeted Calvin, who was relieved, enthusiastically and told him his purpose:

"At the reminder of the Brotherhood of the Prophet, the Grand Master knows that you have encountered some minor troubles."

With a gentle but firm look, he told Calvin the mission of his trip:

"In the name of the Emperor, our ship is ordered by the Supreme Grand Master Walden of the Holy Hammer Convent to take you home."
