"Sit down and find another condition that I can accept."
After receiving the other party's true attitude, Calvin put down his theatrical anger. However, both his eyes and his tone seemed particularly indifferent in his relaxed body language.
The low-level psykers have never been rejected by Calvin, and the astropaths who truly serve the empire are the ones the War Council needs to fight for.
But these people who are entrenched on Terra are different. There are certainly people in the families behind them who serve the empire.
But most of them are rentiers who grow wantonly according to the bad nature of human beings after thousands of years of branches and leaves.
And just like the other party's behavior today, their demands are far more than just a promise from Calvin.
After thousands of years of path dependence, they have habitually seen new variables and want to use their original resources and behavioral logic to occupy most of the new interests.
A group of bed bugs parasitic in the heart of the empire, the reproductive instinct displayed after discovering new hosts, is what Calvin said about these people.
The funny thing is that they have never really understood what the War Council is, and they are even less likely to know what they need to face if they want to truly join it.
Calvin's eyes became darker and darker, and the look he looked at the old man became even more joyless. After experiencing this "forced palace", he actually felt that this was a good opportunity.
If a group of people in this group can pass the trial, it will be an opportunity to "change blood" for this group that belongs to the upper echelons of the empire.
"No." The old man still expressed his persistence by refusing, but Calvin, after staring at him for a long time, suddenly broke the deadlock in the air with a smile on his face.
"Its name is currently called the War Council. It may have another name in the future, but it is only to express the meaning of its existence.
As for your request, I agreed. But..."
The original body stood up from the chair, then walked to the chief astropath, looked down at him and said:
"But it may not be the same as you imagine. I welcome anyone to join, but any accidents that occur during the process are his own choices."
"Does it require transformation surgery? Or does it require genetic modification?"
The chief astropath was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously used his existing experience to understand the semantics of the original body.
What he faced was nothing more than the will of the original body, and as long as he could open the first gap, he still had great confidence in himself and the young people of other families.
"No, it's more complicated and dangerous than that." Calvin stood up straight and said pointedly.
"No problem! But I need to send someone to witness the whole process to ensure the fairness of the screening!"
"As you wish!" The original body said as he turned and walked away. This conversation no longer attracted his attention.
What he wants is already in his hands;
And what he may be able to obtain will be given by someone else's hands.
Two Imperial Guards stepped past him and pushed the heavy door open.
A bell rang in the attendant's room connected to the parlor, and the guards belonging to the original body and the honor guard troops of the Astropathic Chamber also lined up after receiving the notification.
After getting what he wanted, the chief of the Astral Chamber did not bother to put on his robe again and greeted Calvin at the huge door;
Calvin also understood the latter's intention. When he reached the end of the corridor, he stopped and did not look back. He just raised his hand and said softly:
"You can recruit as many people as you like. On the first full moon of the next year, I will prepare a fleet to receive you at the star port on the moon."
The trip to Obsidian Fortress has come to an end, and the Sister of Silence that Calvin wanted to have began to be gradually handed over a month later.
On the Black Ship Alliance fleet returning to Terra, a group of Sisters of Silence were notified of a change in affiliation when they returned to the surface base to rest;
The golden fighter jets that took off from the depths of the Throne Court also packed away these confused Sisters of Silence along with their equipment, leaving not a single item for the entire base.
Deep in the Throne Court, some areas that had been sealed off for thousands of years were reopened under the witness of the Custodes and Gray Knights;
In remote worlds far away from Terra, some abandoned temples also welcomed mechanical arks from afar at the beginning of a certain star's rotation cycle.
Things are proceeding according to Calvin's intention, and the first batch of members of the Silent Order are initially in place.
Cassin was still out and didn't reply, and Calvin's attention was no longer here.
The companies of the Gray Knights are being established in batches. After completing preliminary training, several large companies on Titan are taking battleships to the base of Titan II to prepare for diversion;
The two large battle groups headed by Allen and Golden were respectively in the Obscure Star Territory and the Pacific Star Territory, supporting their respective battlefields with a huge number of more than three large companies.
This was the decade when the legion expanded the fastest, and the unprecedented wealth of troops was transmitted to the level of the Inquisition, which reflected the empire's unprecedented aggressiveness in the war against Chaos.
The large forces guarding the area from three different directions directly changed the situation of the local court.
In the previous work, the process for local judges to request support from the central government was based on ten years. With the changes in the star field's regional garrison, it was also compressed to one year.
A large amount of information that was unable to be processed and simply ignored was sorted out again with sufficient military support. Feedback showed that the chaotic pollution in many planetary worlds that was originally in its early stages was effectively controlled due to timely intervention.
The Tribunal, especially the Demonic Tribunal headed by the Holy Hammer Order, with the strong support of the Gray Knights, the trust of its lower-level personnel in the center is increasing year by year;
As for the factions that originally existed in the local area, after the sector leaders received the endorsement of force, they were no longer left to their own devices due to various unsupportable circumstances.
In the three star regions, the fate of at least hundreds of worlds has been rewritten, and the survival of these worlds that should have been destroyed by Chaos has in turn further enhanced the empire's war potential.
The current existence of the Gray Knights is no longer a secret at the level of the star domain leaders.
The Legion's increasingly frequent activities in squadrons (hundreds of people) and squads have also made every Asterta Chapter who pays attention to its surrounding environment aware of it in the past ten years.
Because the flow of materials and people is inherently polluted, many waterways are becoming smoother and more stable in the eyes of these Astra Chapters;
With the stable flow of materials and information in these waterways, the Asterta Chapters all over the empire can also maintain more frequent communication with Terra, thus having a more thorough understanding of the strategic situation of the entire empire.
.
The Human Empire, this ancient machine that has been running for thousands of years, is revitalizing with countless small details changes after the emergence of the Gray Knights;
But as their neighbors, the previous rulers of the galaxy, they were now caught in unprecedented disputes and internal strife.
