Chapter 131 The End and the Long Ending

Captain Christen left, leaving with nearly 200 Goliath warriors on the cruiser they came in.

The new cruiser has been dispatched by the Inquisition from the Solar Segment, and the receiving process is expected to be completed within half a year.

The Goliath Warband, whose home planet has been lifted, was quite calm about this accident.

After they fully understood the anger of the inside story, they gradually accepted the reality under the persuasion of the Grey Knights.

After all, all the plans behind this stopped before implementation.

And relying on the Emperor's blessing, the short bombardment above the orbit of Fedman 4 did not really cause any harm to the Astartes of the Goliath Warband.

The calmed-down warband leader asked Christensen about the final outcome of the incident in the remote communication, and Calvin, who was standing next to him, also formally met the highest decision-maker of this warband under the latter's introduction.

Under his selective narration, the high-ranking members of the Goliath Warband understood the causes and consequences of the incident in the Feldman system, and also knew the final attitude of the Inquisition on this matter.

They finally calmed down their anger under the sincerity of the Inquisition.

A brand-new strike cruiser, although nominally still belongs to the Inquisition, the unlimited lease period makes its ownership only symbolic.

The pragmatic style of the leaders of the warband makes them not care about this trivial issue at all.

The things are in hand, whether to return or not, when to return is not up to them.

Moreover, the other party has not marked the return period, and the additional specified service requirements and years are completely a good deal in their eyes.

After a simple internal discussion, the strike cruiser that has not yet arrived was assigned to the company led by Christen for use.

The idea of ​​the high-ranking members of the warband is very simple:

Since he and his soldiers exchanged their lives for this cruiser, there is naturally no doubt about the ownership of this item.

This is great. Christen has long wanted to end the days of mixing with other companies and riding on the ship.

An accident, an ordeal. Fortunately, there was no real damage. And we can get a cruiser as the company's new home. Is there anything better than this?

So for this upcoming ship, Captain Christen, after obtaining the consent of the regiment, affectionately named it "Holy Tribulation" to commemorate the difficulty of this trip.

The initial procedure of this transaction finally ended here. Both parties were very satisfied with their respective gains and saw each other's sincerity.

The Goliath War Group generously expressed that it would not blame the past under the double sincerity of the oral apology of the Tribunal and the subsequent arrival of the cruiser;

The Tribunal also expressed satisfaction with the response agreement solemnly written on paper by the Goliath War Group.

The other party's complete company in place at the first time made the previous unilateral efforts of Grand Inquisitor Uther responded and respected.

Everything is developing in a good direction. Only the matter of the troops on the ground makes Calvin troubled.

Even though the morale of the soldiers on the ground has returned to stability, the time required for the memory cleansing of millions of people is beyond his expectations.

"Five years? Are you kidding?"

On the bridge of the Soul Redeemer, Calvin couldn't help but raise his voice after being told by Jules.

"This is already the fastest process." Jules comforted him kindly.

"It will take at least half a year for our personnel to arrive from the home planet and other places.

Not to mention that before executing the memory cleansing, the first thing to do is to identify them, and eliminating the contaminated people hidden among them is the beginning of real trouble.

We will encounter misunderstandings, hostility, and even premeditated unrest. And since we have decided to save them, you must make up your mind to carry out this procedure to the end."

"…………" Calvin was silent about this fact, and the workload has far exceeded his highest expectations.

"Saving is always more meaningful than destroying, but it is also always more difficult than destroying. Isn't it?" Jules said slowly.

He understood Calvin's thoughts. This young man was unwilling to stay here for such a seemingly uncontributory job. He hoped to fight for the empire as much as possible to play his own value.

But in Jules' eyes, the value of the work here is no less than that of his comrades fighting in other places. They are all contributing their strength to the warband in their own way.

So Jules chose this angle to explain the significance of this work.

"You don't need to worry about the complexity and inefficiency of the task. The Inquisition will not ignore our efforts. There will be professional screening personnel responsible for the early guidance and training. What you have to do is to provide the final guarantee and endorsement for their actions after our troops arrive. If necessary, there will be some cleanup work."

"I see, so I have to stay here for five years, right?" Calvin still had some emotions.

"Someone has to do these things. If not you, it will be someone else. Moreover, you can be more relaxed about this time. After all, five years is just our initial estimate."

Jules smiled and comforted Calvin. He also hid some other content.

For example, as the first exclusive recruitment world of the Grey Knights, the subsequent construction here obviously also needs someone who is worthy of the trust of the warband to be responsible.

And the value of the Fedman Galaxy is far more than what it appears on the surface.

The location of this pocket-shaped galaxy is very delicate. In non-subspace navigation, it has only one exit to the outside world. The terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack makes it naturally suitable as a fortress node to undertake defense tasks.

It also has special geopolitical value: the distance from here to the main channel from the Storm Star Region to Terra is only one galaxy away.

That is to say, when necessary, the Grey Knights only need a small number of mobile troops to garrison here to effectively contain the enemy coming from the Storm Star Region.

In a sense, this is the Warhammer World version of Jieting:

It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is located in a confidential position. As long as it is well managed, it will be a strong guarantee for the defense of the entire star region.

Such comprehensive conditions make the Grey Knights have a very high evaluation of the Fedman Galaxy.

They decided to build a magnificent galaxy-level fortress group through a long construction here.

Correspondingly, the resources they are about to invest here will also be a huge number.

If possible, this place will be built into a fortress monastery that can deter the entire star field by controlling the interstellar channel.

It will become a must-pass place on the road to Terra, and will also be responsible for the task of becoming the home port of the Grey Knights patrol fleet.

The maintenance of large and medium-sized ships and the self-sufficiency of weapons for ground armed forces will be included in the construction blueprint here.

This is a long and difficult task. Calvin will receive more troops and war group servants here as time goes by.

He needs to command these troops while making them communicate and work as effectively as possible.

Diplomatic work with the local forge world is also a matter of course.

After all, distant water cannot quench near thirst. When the priests of Mars cannot be relied on, the local forge world is also worth interacting with.

Whether it is the experience of overall engineering or the production capacity of giant equipment, the natural advantage of the oilers in large-scale engineering is unmatched in the entire empire.

In this process, Calvin is not only responsible for the internal command and surrounding defense work, but also external diplomacy and communication are one of his responsibilities.

This is the course arranged by the Grand Master Council for his transformation from a mid-level officer to a commander, and there is no possibility of skipping.

Jules may help him at the beginning, but as time goes by, he will eventually leave and let him plan and command the overall situation.

In short, in one sentence. The Grand Masters will not ask the reasons, but only look at the results.

They hope to see Calvin, as a commander, slowly nail the Feldman Galaxy, the nail belonging to the Grey Knights, firmly here in the eyes of all forces.

And for this new nail, after the review of the Grand Master Council and Calvin's suggestion, they named it: "Titan No. 2."
