Chapter 121 Relief and Answers

A strong fortress is never breached from the outside; its first cracks often come from within.

So is the soul.

Calvin's soul suffered such a strong blow at this moment, and his denial of the meaning of his existence made this hard soul that should not have any flaws let out a cry of grief.

Ice blue rain is a symbol of tears in the idealistic world, and a sad heart directly affects every aspect of this world.

God and his petitioners are always closely connected. Under such a vision, the residents of the crown city in Calvin's soul cannot remain indifferent.

When the sky darkened and the rain fell from the sky, every citizen of the Crown City stopped what they were doing at this moment and looked at the tall man with worry, their eyes also full of tears due to inspiration. Above the dome.

The crowd came out of the house, regardless of gender, age or child. Whether it was the countryside in the fields or the streets in the city, these souls who were indebted to Calvin appeared in the open spaces and prayed to their gods.

"Please forgive our original sin, please forgive our greed. Please stick to your original intention, and please see the beauty of human nature. Holy! Calvin! Distant foreign gods, please do not give up the entire human race for the sins in front of you. Destiny!"

Countless prayers rose from the ground and spread to the sky.

"No, no. I haven't given up. I don't dislike you. I know there are beautiful things in human nature, and I know the haze is just a small side. I will learn to face it. I know, I have always known..."

Calvin, who was sobbing, felt the prayers of these suffering souls in his soul. He did not want them to worry about him, so he explained incoherently.

The prayers became more intense, and they could feel the sun reappearing in the sky driving away the dark clouds in front of them.

And the people or gods they worry about are far stronger than they think.

But this makes them even more fanatical: their god is not a hard stone, not a greedy abyss, not a reflection of nothingness, not an eternal law of existence.

He is a living person, he has flesh and blood; he can be happy and even sad.

He will become optimistic again with their comfort, which makes them finally feel needed again after losing everything.

"Holy! Holy!"

"Holy! Holy!"

Passionate calls kept coming to Calvin's ears, making this simple warrior a little embarrassed.

After all, you would be embarrassed when a 24/7 personal flattery halo is placed on your head.

"Okay, okay. You guys are busy, I'll slip away..."

Unable to stay any longer, Calvin quickly broke away from the isolation of his soul, fearing that if he stayed a little longer, his brain would turn into an omelette tool out of shame. The shape may not look like it, but the temperature is estimated It's enough.

When Calvin's consciousness returned to reality, the first thing he saw after opening his eyes was Yule's worried face.

"Okay, okay, where there is light, there will naturally be darkness. This should not be the reason for you to deny the light." He comforted Calvin in this way.

"Yes, I understand. I understand everything..." Calvin, who had regained consciousness, was a little embarrassed, and he was apologizing for his immaturity.

Yes, he should have understood this a long time ago, or in other words, his life history should have made up for this lesson a long time ago.

Isn’t true love just seeing all its shortcomings and ugliness but still loving it?

Will he throw himself into Chaos because of a moment of grievance? Won't!

Will he give up his ideals and join the enemy chief because of a temporary setback? Won't!

Will he give up his mission, his father, his people, bow to chaos, and indulge his ambitions just because of the evil words of one or two people? Won't! (I’m not mirroring anyone, you can figure it out yourself.)

Yu Le looked at the young man in front of him with relief. The other person's will recovered faster than he expected.

His mind is also surprisingly perfect with no inherent flaws.

This is so rare, especially in this world dominated by darkness and despair, it is really as precious as a pearl!

Just from this point of view, he wanted to thank this young man's parents.

Ability and talent do affect a person's upper limit, but the flawless personality brought by the native family is more able to withstand the torrent of fate again and again.

In comparison, Yule prefers the latter.

From his perspective, it is true that not every Gray Knight needs to undergo such a test, and not every Gray Knight needs to know about these dark side affairs of the human empire.

But Calvin is different. He is not a simple warrior. He has a loftier future and more people have greater expectations for him. ,

Therefore, his mind will never allow any gaps that can be offset by admonitions and explanations in advance; his will will never go to extremes just because of one or two such things, thereby giving those filthy existences any possible reason. Take advantage of the opportunity.

In the history of the empire, there have been enough examples of young eagles like him who were supposed to soar in the sky, but due to various accidents and lack of knowledge, were eventually led by chaos to despair and destruction.

He could not allow the man in front of him, who had the hopes of the entire Gray Knights Chapter, to make the same mistake again.

"Are you feeling better? Then let's continue talking about the ground." Jules said to Calvin, continuing the previous topic.

"Okay." Calvin, who had recovered from his shock, once again savored the details of the whole thing. He found that the key figure in this dispute was not at the scene.

Whether it was the senior officials in the Tribunal who initiated this conspiracy and gave the front-line figure, Inquisitor Erlanti, power, or the commander of the Goliath Warband who could really decide the fate of the warband, they were all hidden behind the whole thing and did not show their faces.

What's going on with the Goliath Warband? Will they succumb to the Tribunal because of these two companies of Astartes?

"What is their motive? Why are they sure to do this?" Calvin followed this logic and found the crux of the problem.

"Because the current situation of the Goliath Warband is not so good." Jules looked at the distant planet Feldman 4 and slowly told what he knew.

Among the troops that the Goliath Warband can mobilize at the moment, these two companies are really very important.

They just experienced a major setback a hundred or so years ago.

In an exploration operation of a space wreck in cooperation with the Forge World of Grea, they were ambushed by a whole ship of Genestealers.

Under heavy siege, they finally retrieved the mission item needed by the Mechanicus after a fierce battle - an old STC chip and the accompanying equipment.

But the price was heavy. In order to ensure the smooth transfer of the items, they lost the core forces including the station commander and the entire company of elite veterans in the rear-end operation.

If the think tank leader had not been delayed by something at that time, the normal inheritance of their war group would have been almost buried there.

"So?" Calvin asked.

"So as a product of extreme military construction, they chose to settle in the Storm Star Field far away from their mother group, the Blood Angels, and finally chose to settle down. They didn't have much family assets.

After this heavy setback, they could only mobilize less than 5 companies of troops except for the recruit company. And there, half of their troops are now stationed." Yule pointed to Feldman 4, which could be seen in the distance, and explained to Calvin.

"So..." Calvin finally got a glimpse of the overall picture of both parties involved in this incident, which spanned most of the empire.
