Chapter 130 Closing and Negotiation

"You did a good job. This is how you should deal with such rebellious people. I have no other opinions. But what are you going to face next? Are you prepared?"

The old man's concerns about the Grey Knights are obviously not unreasonable.

"We are prepared to take on more responsibilities in future missions."

Jules expressed their attitude tactfully.

Uther, the Grand Inquisitor, was very pleased with such a response, but he did not forget to emphasize the difficulties:

"That's good. I hope to see that day. But please note that although I and many of my colleagues are still abiding by the original treaty, your every move is in their eyes. Please don't let them down. After all, in our eyes, there is only one chance for such a thing as the wolf coming."

"There will be such a day, please rest assured."

Jules glanced at Calvin and assured the old man confidently.

"Then I have no other opinions on the matter here. The next step is the issue of finishing. Do you have any ideas?"

This is the old man's respect for them and also an inquiry into the Grey Knights' attitude.

"Cleanse the memory! All of them, no one can be left behind! Before that, control their range of action."

This is Calvin's opinion. It also needs to go through a painful process, but the ending is much better than simple destruction.

"Okay, I respect your opinions. But correspondingly, here in the Goliath War, I need you to buffer in the middle. This incident has a great impact on the Inquisition, and we need their understanding."

The old man also has his own difficulties. As one of the highest leaders of the Demon Inquisition in the Storm Star Field, one of the five major star fields of the Empire, he hates the actions of Erlanti and his ilk.

But for the overall image and political credit of the Inquisition, he still had to hold his nose and clean up their ass afterwards.

"This... I think Captain Christen will not reject our goodwill, but the Inquisition... I'm not sure."

Calvin told the truth and told the old man his prediction.

"The heads of the traitors will be publicized in the star field, and the Inquisition will make a statement. For them, well. A new strike cruiser, but not a gift, but a lease. The term is arbitrary, and this cruiser and the troops stationed on it must respond to our call within the next 300 years. This is my final bottom line."

After a brief thought, the old man gave a bargaining chip that Calvin could not refuse. He believed that if Christen himself was here, it would be equally difficult to refuse.

This was definitely not a temporary decision made by Uther, but no matter what, this kind of face and heart were all given, and the condition was just a small call-up agreement, which was enough to show the other party's sincerity.

And this additional condition itself also proved the old man's excellent emotional intelligence and way of dealing with things. It also proved that the existence of these outstanding mortals in the empire was by no means meaningless.

The Astartes were fighting for the empire. Unless there was a deep hatred, which call would they refuse?

What's more, 300 years of fighting side by side gave each other a good opportunity to rebuild trust.

On this basis, the Inquisition will have enough confidence and strength in the future to make this war group willingly serve the Empire better under their banner in terms of materials, intelligence, military assistance, etc.

The same purpose, in the hands of different people, is completely two results. The difference is that one just wants to get it for free, while the other is the first to show sincerity.

If you want to take it first, you must give it first. Calvin said he learned it.

"No problem, I can go to Captain Christen to talk." Calvin was also very satisfied with such a cost-effective deal.

"Then the next step is the details."

Uther was very satisfied with the smooth solution of the problem, and he took the opportunity to mention a detail that the Grey Knights would not care about.

"Who will be responsible for the memory cleansing troops?"

"Huh?" Calvin was stunned, then looked at Jules beside him.

"Do we have this troop?"

The latter's expression was a little complicated. While answering Calvin with his eyes, he asked Uther:

"We can go, but this is not in line with convention. What do you think?"

"You go. I know you have always maintained a huge number of mortal troops, but you don't have a name to go out, right? Then let's go here, that's just right. The situation here is complicated. At least in the early stage, with your participation, the trust between the three parties is better established. We have got a good start, and you also have your first recruitment planet that belongs to you completely, which is very good."

"Your generosity! I really don't know how to thank you!"

Jules was excited. He didn't care how much manpower these planets could provide for the Grey Knights.

But as long as they had this place, the mortal troops they hid on other remote planets would have their own names.

From now on, these troops that should have been purged in the previous battles with Chaos can change their identities and contribute their own strength to the empire under the command of the Grey Knights again.

And the arrival of this kind of attached troops made the Grey Knights in Jules' mind take a big step forward from the existence called the Legion.

"It's not that we don't want to see you grow stronger. What we are worried about is that when it is difficult for you to increase the number of core members, your subordinate mortal troops will grow out of control due to unlimited growth. Since you are confident in yourselves now, this is no longer a problem."

The smiling Uther gently explained their considerations to Le. He did not want the other party to have a bad misunderstanding about his colleagues.

"Understood! We understand the concerns of all the judges. It is necessary."

Yule knew the preciousness of this opportunity and understood that what the other party said was true.

No matter how bad an individual's survivor bias makes the outside world's impression of the Inquisition, in the larger environment, these mortals on the front line of fighting for the Empire to resist Chaos are worthy of respect. At least that's true for the vast majority of them.

As for the young people who must be hidden among them, Yule, who has received the greatest concession, said he doesn't care.

Seek what is above it, seek what is below it.

Today's harvest is already a surprise for Yule, and he really has no reason to ask for more.

"But you won't get unlimited growth! This is the bottom line with no room for anything!"

Having given power, Grand Inquisitor Uther restrained it with the rigor befitting his rank.

"The adjustment of your attached troops must follow your cruisers. This way, in future operations, they can arrive at the same time as you. Therefore, if necessary, you will not receive other support from the nearby Astra Militarum."

This is the final bottom line for the Gray Knights from the Grand Inquisitor or the entire Tribunal he represents.

"clear!"

Yule and Calvin, who had come back to their senses, agreed together.

"It's up to you to provide their equipment and material support. The Tribunal is not responsible for it!"

Uther seemed to add this angrily, even if it was a decent ending to this huge concession on behalf of the Inquisition.

"clear!"

This is the common response of Jules and Calvin to Uther. Naturally, they won't care about this little detail after taking advantage of everything.

"Okay! Go to work quickly! I am getting older and I need to rest after traveling for such a long time. I will leave the next thing to you young people, and I will not accompany you."

After saying this, Uther, who couldn't hold himself any longer, smiled and said to Calvin.

First update, please vote.
