Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 490 Plan to Save Elephants—Top Hat? Top hat!

Therefore, the matter of restarting the Silent Order finally got a start after Cassin officially took over the task of visiting the temple.

For security reasons, Calvin sent a team of Gray Knights to serve as deputy envoys and issued a pass key in the name of the Inquisition to ensure the smoothness of the trip.

Cassin left with satisfaction from Calvin, but the trouble for the reconstruction of the entire Order of Silence had just begun.

There are about 5,000 Sisters of Silence currently in service in the Black Ship Alliance fleet belonging to the Star Language Court.

Coupled with the scattered units distributed in various key positions, such as the City of Vision and the Psychic Prison, the approximate total number of this defensive force in Calvin's mind should be around 8,000.

And his and Trajan's goals were at least half of them.

This is not a small number, but it is also the lowest bottom line that Calvin can accept.

There are three troops with a strength of 1,000 people, one is on combat readiness, one is in training, and the other is in repair and replenishment status.

The three-three formation is an army with the ability to self-generate blood. It requires the minimum number of seeds in the early stages of forming an army.

Taking into account some special teams and management agencies that perform scattered tasks, then 4,000 people is the bottom line that Calvin can accept.

But this is definitely not in the interests of Xingyuting.

Even from the perspective of a third party, in the context of the meeting with the Tribunal and the Throne Chamber just ending, an armed force belonging to the Astrology Tribunal was transferred half by the Tribunal. It is tantamount to a shame. Sexual predation.

The role played by the Inquisition in this matter was that of a traitor who broke the contract and broke the promise.

Therefore, the difficulty of the transaction increased again, because the Astral Court, which had just received guarantees from Calvin and Trajan, would not be able to accept this kind of behavior.

Then we could only consider it from a policy perspective, so after communicating with Trajan, Calvin once again extended an invitation to communicate with the Astral Court.

But this time, it was the original body who personally visited the headquarters of Xingyuting.

At the agreed time, one week after the invitation was issued, Calvin, escorted by two teams of Gray Knights and Imperial Guards, flew in a formation of 7 Thunderhawks from the Throne Court to the headquarters of the Astral Court, the Obsidian Fortress.

Although Calvin's identity remains unknown to the Empire, it is no longer a secret among the Lords of Terra.

Although this special Son of the Emperor is not well-known, in the huge shadow of the Inquisition, the occasional traces of his legions in the Empire are enough to make all the Lords of Terra raise their eyebrows.

Although the Gray Knights Legion is still a secret of the Empire and has not been disclosed to any public level, on the battlefield between the Empire and Chaos, more and more Gray Knights have appeared in an organized form, and their numbers have been unprecedented, allowing everyone to An ally fighting alongside them revisited.

But now, the master of this legion, the "Silver Prince" hiding in the shadows, used his own visit to show his sincere attitude to Xingyuting.

Naturally, the current chief of the Star Yuting Court also paid high attention to it, and deep in the palace complex of Obsidian Fortress, he gave him the courtesy befitting a holy lord of Terra (Primarch).

The meeting went smoothly. Calvin's fleet successfully met the welcoming team after flying over the Obsidian Fortress.

But like all the old forces of the empire, the heavy etiquette of the Obsidian Fortress made him frown.

However, this is only the beginning. The ancient force of Xingyuting is by no means unified within itself.

Although this was the first time they faced a Primarch representing a huge legion behind him after thousands of years, due to various personal factors, the "courtesy" they prepared for Calvin was still mixed with some... other colors.

On the tarmac, before Calvin's steel boots even hit the ground, there was already a silent power stirring in the huge palace complex;

Hundreds of psykers, with a power and number that astonished even Calvin, chanted the Emperor's name in countless echoes;

In the sky above the tower complex with the Tower of Whispers as the center, the psychic imprints of countless predecessors left since the establishment of the Star Whispering Court were activated and agitated by these sounds;

On the countless mercury mirrors in the mirror corridor, the voices of psykers, together with their souls, after being refracted and amplified countless times, show visitors the pinnacle of mortal power.

The Emperor's Hymn is a song that was first created by the Imperial State Church and eventually spread throughout the entire Empire to praise the Emperor's life.

But when it is sung by these psychics in the current ceremony, its extremely powerful, loud and soul-piercing singing has a hint of demonstration in addition to its grandeur.

Calvin faced their "voices" calmly and clearly understood the meaning of this "welcoming ceremony".

This is not only for the other party to show him his own background to avoid unnecessary conflicts with the "Law of the Dark Forest", but also to test his character while showing respect to him in obscure language.

"Emperor's Hymn? I'm familiar with this stuff..." Calvin muttered silently in his mind, and then coughed lightly at the moment when the psychic chant reached its climax in the palace complex.

But this slight cough was transmitted clearly through the power of the original body and resounded in the ears of every psyker.

In the sky of the Obsidian Fortress, the originally flawless singing paused for a moment, while in the depths of the Throne Court nearly a thousand kilometers away, thousands of Gray Knights stopped singing under the gaze of the Forbidden Army. action.

Legion will! Little Calvin, who was the commander of the 10th Great Company at the time, blinked his eyes, let the Forbidden Army Captain's halberd hit his face, and turned to look at the countless compatriots in the square.

On the training ground behind them, nearly a thousand Gray Knights seemed to have a unified will. They stopped their original actions in an instant, and then looked in the direction of Xingyuting in silence.

The Primarch was calling them, but not to fight?

But no matter what it is, they will obey the will of the original body, even if they face mountains of swords and seas of fire...

Okay, singing?

Little Calvin scratched his face awkwardly, but in the end he still held back his inner embarrassment.

He faced the doubtful looks of the Imperial Guards behind him and said to the Gray Knights who had assembled in front of him:

"Ahem... Now let me start, prepare and sing!"

"You were born at the source of history,

Witness the greatness of mankind in the golden afterglow..."

So the will of the huge legion was summoned by the original body. Under the gaze of thousands of Gray Knights stationed deep in the Throne Court, this silver giant spirit was born and gathered in the void. After slightly intersecting with the star deep in the Throne Court, , showing his presence in the sky above Terra for the first time!

A power far greater than the City of Vision has since descended on the world;

A will far more pure than mortals joined the chorus in an instant and took over the singing above the Obsidian Fortress.

In front of the solemn Obsidian Gate, there was a slight confusion in the fluctuations of the psykers, and under the suppressed eyes of everyone, the loud hymn in the sky continued...

“Your gaze destroys ignorance, your sword spreads truth!

Your brilliance overwhelms countless invading enemies, and your compassion echoes in every human life..."

The welcoming ceremony was still going on, but in fact no one cared about the specific progress of the ceremony.

In the shocked eyes of all the mortal servants, the silver giant, whose true size shocked the psykers to the point of losing their voices, walked towards them with a smile like a real god.
