Chapter 174 Black and Red, Plans in the Shadows (23) Here
Lucapalia, the capital of the Moro planet world, is an ancient city that was destroyed by the Luna Wolf Legion at the end of the 32nd millennium.
Calvin has been here for more than a week with the main force of the Tindalos Legion and the Sea Wolf Company, which have been following the Inquisition fleet.
A week is a short time, not even enough to make the simplest modifications to this ruin.
But fortunately, the soldiers of Tindalos Legion are veterans selected from various battlefields.
People who have survived after all kinds of fierce battles have never been poor, so they naturally know where to use limited construction vehicles and more precious building materials.
The location of the defensive position was selected on orbit, and with the full support of the fleet scanning array, the engineering force was extremely purposeful and the progress was very smooth.
A large number of bunkers were selected based on the local terrain, and then quickly built under the focused assault of legionnaires and engineering vehicles;
The trenches connecting these bunkers were first dug shallowly by the soldiers, and then handed over to the armored forces to deepen and reinforce them again.
This is the benefit of having an industrial manufacturing system like the Kriging Alliance.
The most indispensable thing for the Tindalos Legion is small engineering equipment. Even under the premise that they cannot carry a large number of engineering vehicles, Krieg's engineers sent enough engineering shovels to the warship's warehouse long before the large fleet returned to Terra.
.
Armored forces also welcome this equipment very much, because it is made of fine gold after being molecularly cast, quenched and coated, and is already extremely thick and strong additional armor.
So while the soldiers of the Infantry Regiment were still exploring and planning the defense line of Lucapaglia, the soldiers of the Armored Regiment were waiting for the arrival of the transport fleet.
The technical priests who accompanied the army were gathered on the landing site to stand by. After these engineering shovels were sent to the surface, a large number of welding projects took less than half a day in total.
As a result, more temporary engineering vehicles appeared on the ruins, and trenches and fortifications, large and small, were formed one by one.
Although this defense line cannot be compared with the Yongbei-class defense system, a crude but practical defense front slowly took shape in the next few days.
The knights of the Heper Forge World arrived later, and the landing ship dropped these Knight Titans directly over the defense line. When more than a thousand Astartes from the Sea Wolf Company also landed with supplies, the entire Lucapalia
The defense line has finally taken shape.
How many people haven't come back?
Calvin was walking on the main road on the top floor of the Endless Crusade. The communicator in his ear was meeting with the leaders of the fleet and troops, and the psychic channel was talking to the newly joined chief purifier, Turab.
Not long ago, Turab, together with all the Purifiers, underwent Calvin's psychic seed implantation procedure in the medical department of the Enduring Crusade.
It took him less than three days to survive the initial psychic shock period, and then he began to take over the management of the legion in Gian Moreau.
This speed of adaptation was obviously faster than Calvin and himself expected, because even the original Honor Guard took a full year to adapt under Calvin's personal guidance.
The two of them also conducted a special review of this matter, and finally came to the conclusion that this rapid adaptability was related to the real name Turab was given on Titan.
The granting of the true name was undoubtedly a subversive change for him, and it could even be said to have directly changed his life form. After receiving the true name, the Purifier can be said to no longer be a mortal to a certain extent, but a higher-level one.
Life exists.
The strength of will and power, the difficulty of driving psychic powers and laws.
The most critical thing is that after obtaining and understanding the language of "true name", Tulab's ability to absorb huge amounts of information in spiritual energy and his new interpretation of life's observation scale of time.
From this perspective, the psychic seeds given to him by the original body are no longer a strange power without a clue, but an iterative upgrade based on the original code of "true name".
Similar to how the "sons of Calvin" use the "inscriptions" on their own genes to decode, he can use his true name in his soul to decipher the "inscriptions."
Of course, this is based on Calvin's core message of openness.
It was this comprehensive opening of information that made Turab the first outsider to intuitively understand the "secret of the inscription." He had this kind of intuitive "vision" that none of the Honor Guards had.
convenience.
And the changes don't stop there.
The consequence of fully understanding and joining the "Legion Inscription System" is that in the third hundred years after Turab became a Gray Knight, his already formed body began to grow for the second time, driven by the instinct to imitate other sons of Calvin.
Clues of development.
And the "demon-breaking" special attribute he possessed began to appear on the soldiers of the entire legion in reverse. This influence not only appeared on the Gray Knight company near Gian Moreau, but even in other directions.
The "sons of Calvin" are also experiencing the same changes.
At this time, the Gray Knights Legion was like a lake thrown into ice. Turab, the "ice cube", was not only soaked by the lake in the turbulent ripples, but it also had a subtle impact on the entire legion.
.
But this kind of thing does not happen overnight, so neither Calvin nor Turab himself discovered these details.
Both of them were focused on the current war, and after the chief purifier completed adapting to the psychic seeds, he went straight into the work of arranging the legions.
As for the remaining Purifiers, they are much more normal. They do not have the means to directly observe the nature of the "inscription", so they can only rely on their own mortal souls to explore and summarize their adaptation to the psychic seeds.
This kind of information collection and understanding speed is far from comparable to that of the sons of Calvin, let alone Turab with his real name.
Calvin checked the progress of their exploration and adaptation. Without the guidance of the original body himself, the most optimistic estimate would take a full hundred years...
The four teams, according to your orders, are responsible for the counter-infiltration operations in various systems in the rear after the next phase of the war begins. Five of the remaining sixteen teams have been injured, with no battle damage, and are on their way back. They will be there tomorrow at the latest
can be reached.
Chief Purifier Turab stopped on the other side of the battleship and responded to Calvin on the legion's communication channel.
Got it, where's the Honor Guard? No word from Hepper yet?
Calvin squinted his eyes and had already made the worst prediction about the situation in that forging world. If the other party still maintained this attitude despite the order of the Tribunal, then he felt it was necessary to visit it in person.
"There's news, wait a minute..." Turab said, sending the psychic message he received to the original body. At the next moment, Calvin on the other side of the battle saw something he had never expected.
