Chapter 119 Disputes and Causes

Group will, also known as Gestalt, is a relatively unfamiliar concept in the psychic knowledge that Calvin has learned.

Because, except for a few think tanks, most of the Grey Knights' psychic powers are still based on the principle of using less but better.

This is inconsistent with the outside world's perception of the Grey Knights as psychic masters per capita, but it is indeed true.

Because the selection criteria of the Grey Knights do not focus on psychic talent, that is, the magnitude and controllability of conventional standards.

They pay more attention to the absolute stability of psychic power, which is the basis for them to prevent the corruption of the warp and withstand the psychic transformation of the Emperor's genes.

Psychic power is just a means for them, but it is by no means the core. Therefore, their psychic discipline has hardly developed in thousands of years.

In addition to the psychic discipline that has been proven to work directly on the warp, other applications are not within their research scope. Naturally, this unpopular concept is also included.

There are many benefits of group will. For example, the burden brought by the use of psychic power can be shared by the entire group;

For example, communication between each other will no longer be through language, but can be completed within the will through psychic power after high evolution.

The former can effectively optimize the resources of psychic energy, allowing the Grey Knights on the front line to release more spells;

Not to mention the latter, Calvin's attempt in the Honor Guard has already explained everything.

But with so many benefits, the collective will has not been developed and utilized, and naturally there is a disadvantage that it cannot avoid - the number of people.

As the name suggests, the collective will naturally requires a basic number of groups to be activated.

And what the Grey Knights lack is precisely people: a team of five people is the smallest combat unit, and a strike team of twenty people is the top-level organization for conventional combat.

Calvin has counted the combat records of the past thousands of years, and only in the battles against those demons above the demon prince has he seen Grey Knights participating in the battle at a company scale.

Although it is very unwilling, this is the current situation of the Grey Knights.

So the Grey Knights have something like collective will, but they basically have no chance to use it.

So has such a powerful force really been abandoned? Calvin has a different idea about this.

He naturally does not have the number of people, at least not at the moment.

But he has the corresponding ability to bear, and a lot of it.

And unlike other Grey Knights who had never tried this concept, the experience of mind communication and fighting against the orcs gave him basic confidence in the will to dominate a small group.

What he lacked was just an activation program, and the war prayer of the psychic choir perfectly made up for this link.

This kind of enhancement ritual was previously only used to strengthen the will of the Grey Knights and link the subspace links between them, thereby strengthening their will strength twice.

The former strengthening effect was better than nothing in Calvin's opinion, and he was concerned about the latter function.

The function of that link, when it runs through the entire team, is the best opportunity to activate the group will or Gestalt, which is the key Calvin needs.

When this key is linked to all the Grey Knights and successfully activates their group will, he will take over the dominance of the entire group with his own power, allowing the war engine that should have been extinguished to continue burning, at the cost of his own psychic energy.

The Soul Redeemer has entered the state of subspace navigation. Judging from the distance between the two galaxies, this journey will not exceed 3 days at most.

The 72 hours of these three days is exactly the time used for the war prayer ceremony.

So theoretically speaking, when the Soul Redeemer jumped out of the warp and arrived at the Fedman system, the Grey Knights, who were ready to strike at any time, also arrived here at the same time like a bed crossbow ready to go.

Three days passed in a flash. In the endless darkness and low hum of the warp, the navigator at the bow had seen the outline of the Fedman system through the third eye on his head.

The whole ship completed the preparation for the jump in a short time, and the portal between the warp and reality was torn open forcefully after precise calculation.

In the empty vision of the galaxy, the Soul Redeemer jumped out.

The Star Navy cruising in the galaxy responded to this uninvited guest with the highest level of alert. For a time, the charging sound of the weapon array and the loading and aiming instructions of the macro cannon resounded in the communication channel of the entire galaxy.

When the strike cruiser was revealed, its silver-gray paint and iconic space cathedral structure stopped the navy from pouring fire.

The huge Tribunal logo on the ship made those in the know rush to prevent any possible misunderstanding.

On the outskirts of the mining world Fedman 4, the communication of the floating ring starport in orbit was connected, and the figure of the Inquisitor Erlanti Vedrian, who had only heard but not seen, also appeared in the center of the holographic screen.

The other party's thin figure was hidden under the meticulous uniform, and the narrow eyes and typical dead face made people feel intimidated at first sight;

The huge hooked nose showed his strong character, and the mean lips under it were as cold as the words he spit out:

"Which unit are you from? Who authorized you to come? Leave here immediately! I don't want to say it again! ... ... Oh, a Grey Knight cruiser? Rare power."

Yes, although not every Inquisitor has the experience of cooperating with the Grey Knights.

But now that they have recognized them, in line with the principle of forming a good relationship, no inquisitor is willing to offend these special Astartes warriors for no reason.

Before he was re-preparing his words in astonishment, Judge Rhine on the other side of the screen squeezed to the front of the crowd.

His anxious eyes wandered in the video signal transmitted from the other side, and after searching to no avail, he asked the other party:

"Where is Captain Kristen? Why didn't I see him? Where is he?"

Seeing Rhine's figure, Judge Eranti on the other side of the camera understood something instantly, and he adjusted his expression to the harsh side again. The vicious words came out of his lips in an understatement:

"Oh, this is the reinforcement you brought in? How many Gray Knights? Five? Or ten? Poor old Rhine, you can't change anything. As for Kristen, that madman who dared to disobey orders? I have already imprisoned him. Woke up."

"How dare you!" Rhine refuted the other party loudly.

"That's an Astartes! You have no right to do that!"

"I have the right!" Eranti interrupted Rhine bluntly.

"When I came, I had received full authorization from the Inquisition. I have the right to deal with anyone who disobeys and disrespects the orders, including the Astartes!" After saying that, his narrow eyes scanned the people on the other side of the screen as if demonstrating. Gray Knights.

"What's the reason? What's your reason? I don't believe that Captain Christen's sense of honor will simply refuse your order!" asked Judge Rhine who calmed down.

"I sent him to Federman World 9 to gather the population there."

"Why!" This time it was Rhine's turn to interrupt Erlanti, and he continued to ask:

"Why? There is no war and no pollution there. It is also the home planet of the defense forces fighting on this planet..."

"I sent people there just because it is the home planet of the Defense Force. If I don't do this, will the people on the ground listen to me honestly?"

This was Eranti's explanation, and it was this sentence that made Rhine completely angry.

He turned around in a circle angrily and asked in a tone that was so angry that he lost all emotion:

"Did you do it on purpose? Are you using the lives of these people as bargaining chips to blackmail the warriors who fought for the empire? You should know that I made a promise to them, and you should know that they have paid their loyalty to the empire. of!"

"That's your problem, not mine." Eranti answered lightly.

"What's the reason? There has to be a reason for you to do this, right? Are you really not going to leave a way out for yourself by doing this?"

Rhine stared at Erlanti steadily and asked him the most incomprehensible doubt - Are you Erlanti really afraid of being shot in the back in future missions?

How dare you do such a dishonorable thing?

After word spreads about what you did, which war group or astral legion will dare to respond to your call?

Under Rhine's gaze, the other party's mood finally wavered for a moment, but in the next second, Judge Eranti, who seemed to have thought of something, regained his mood, and he replied impatiently to Rhine:

"This is not a topic that can be discussed here. I have something to do, so excuse me." After saying that, the communication signal was hung up.

The noisy bridge became quiet again, but everyone present had their own concerns.

While grieving the inevitable death of the rabbit and the fox, the Gray Knight carefully savored the information revealed in the previous conversation.

Judge Rhine, on the other hand, made up his mind after pacing in place for a few times:

"I have to communicate with him face to face. This is not his style! Everyone, I will take the first step. You continue to move forward as planned. We will see you at the star port."

After saying that, the old man in the Inquisition hurriedly rushed to the flight deck. He wanted to take the landing craft to go through the complicated port entry procedures and see Inquisitor Eranti as soon as possible.

The battleships in the galaxy are still moving slowly on the defense route, but in the eyes of the Gray Knights on the Revenant Redeemer, the atmosphere here is heading in a dangerous direction.

It's late, first update, there will be more later.
