With the return of Calvin, the episode in the main tent also ended.
Mars let Little Mal go and no longer pursued his fault. Little Mal also left in a hurry to mend his mental trauma in an unknown corner.
The soldiers in the camp regained a lively atmosphere under discipline and control, which itself illustrates the significance of Calvin's existence.
The sun had just reached the center of the sky. Taking advantage of the right time, the team began to break camp and set off back the way they came.
Compared with when we arrived, there was no other difference in the entire team except that there were two more people.
The team was well prepared for the long march. There were five large horses in spare for Calvin alone. Two of them were given to the two of them just right.
The strict discipline of the troops effectively suppressed the curiosity of the soldiers, and no one showed any abnormal reaction to the arrival of Elvis and Allen.
Mars did not ask about their origins. After getting along with Calvin for a long time, he understood that there were things he needed to know, and Calvin would naturally tell them. Otherwise, it means that the time has not yet come.
He suppressed his imagination and did not wonder what was in the palace that descended from the sky, nor did he think about the origins of these two giant men who were taller than their two heads and almost twice as wide.
Anyway, judging from their ecology of retreating with Calvin and their absolute obedience to Calvin, it is enough for the soldiers to know that these two are also subordinates of the chief.
Not to mention Calvin's identity, the tribe has long had its own understanding of his natural martial arts and his ability to never age, but it's just that they haven't made it clear.
The return journey was still the same. The difference was that this time I didn’t even hear the sound of small animals. This was due to the overflow of Alan Janus’ psychic energy as a Gray Knight recruit.
He is still adapting to the feeling of his soul being connected to the etheric ocean, but fortunately, this body is directly derived from Calvin's genetic template, and his adaptation to spiritual energy is like instinct, and is rapidly strengthening with his breathing. p>
He rode the large horse prepared for Calvin and followed Calvin closely.
This is a strange feeling that he cannot describe specifically with his lack of vocabulary:
Being in close contact with his genetic father made him feel trembling and excited at the cellular level every moment.
In addition to controlling his own psychic powers, he devoted all his energy to observing Calvin's actions. Every detail he observed at the psychic level made him feel that he was one step closer to perfection.
He could sense how huge Calvin's soul was hidden under his body. It was a body that exceeded the limit of Alan's gaze just by sitting down.
Invisible faces high up and in the sky, just breathing can bring up white-gold wind and thunder.
The iron crown covered with thorns is worn on that head. The thorns symbolizing suffering and the spikes symbolizing authority are looming in the clouds, and the voices of thousands of souls are faintly singing among them:
Holy Zai! Holy Zai!
Allen also wants to see more clearly, and his soul also wants to get closer to his source.
Unconsciously, the surrounding environment has changed.
He found that he had a set of silver power armor on him that he had never seen before, and he was in an unknown city-state.
In front of him was a huge square that had no edges, and in the center of the square stood a towering nameless temple.
Following his own instinct, Allen strolled to the door of the temple, and then saw three people in the same armor as himself on both sides of the door, holding a long and sharp halberd in one hand, half-kneeling and meditating with their eyes closed.
.
"Who are you? Where are you?" Allen couldn't help but ask.
What responded to him was damn silence. His voice echoed in the square for a long time before one of the Gray Knights opened his eyes and looked at him.
"Oh? The living person who came in unexpectedly? He's still a newborn baby." A hoarse voice came from under the silver-gray hood, making Allen feel awe instinctively.
The figure that was burlier than him stood up from his kneeling position and walked up to him with the halberd in his hand. Allen couldn't see his face clearly, or he should have seen it clearly, but his cognition was insufficient.
to remember.
He just remembered that person’s friendly smile towards him:
"The time has not come yet, this is not the place you should be.
To provide you with the fastest update of "Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes" by Huolinhe under the moon,!

Go back..." After saying that, the mysterious gray knight stretched out his hand and gave him a gentle push, and he returned to reality in a state of dizziness.
"Uh..." Allen shook his head in a daze and saw his big hands still holding the reins.
The leaves in the surrounding woods were rustling, the smell of rotting wood in the air and the crackling of dead branches and leaves from horse hooves made him confirm in the chaos that this was the side of reality.
And when he looked up again, he happened to see Calvin turning back and giving him a mysterious smile...
Elvis looked at the surrounding woods, hiding his confusion with a calm expression.
Being separated from the mothership where he has lived for a long time and the pharmacist's power armor that he has been with day and night, he has the illusion of being extremely fragile.
Elvis knew that it was his psychological effect. Looking at the slender and fragile native cervical vertebrae of the mortals in front of the team, he knew clearly:
As long as he thought about it, even with bare hands, no one among the more than a hundred soldiers here except Calvin and another Gray Knight could survive for more than ten minutes.
This is Elvis's basic self-confidence and the essential difference between Astartes and mortals.
Their strength does not come from external substances. No matter how powerful their indestructible armor and indestructible weapons and equipment are, they are just a way to release their combat power.
What really makes them powerful is themselves. It is their understanding of war itself resulting from the transformation of life forms. That is what distinguishes them from ordinary people.
Hundreds of years of conquest can make any mortal collapse, but in the eyes of an Astartes, hundreds of years of conquest is only a fierce battle, not all.
Their willpower and life span beyond mortals allow them to concentrate on the path of war skills for hundreds of years, polishing their combat skills and spiritual shortcomings with inhuman patience.
The time for this kind of growth and transformation varies, because the gene seed has the function of recording the memory of the battle where the gene comes from.
The Astartes will strengthen their inherited combat memories from a first-person perspective during their daily sleep, so that they can immediately understand how to deal with a specific target when they encounter it.
Training under the acceleration of this kind of memory can take as long as a hundred years or as short as decades.
You can see the transformation of an Astartes from a new recruit to a veteran of many battles going on visibly.
Eventually it grew to represent the limit of force of the human race, and rushed to various battlefields with aliens and chaos in the vast star sea of the empire, thereby defending the interests of the human race.
Astarte, the literal translation in High Gothic - the person who walks in the starry sky. The original name is derived from this. As for the title of monk added later, it is just a unilateral arrogance imposed by the ignorant beliefs of mortals.
That’s all.
The team is still marching quietly, but the speed is much faster than when they came. Without the threat of unexpected events while exploring the unknown, the unscrupulous warriors are more motivated by the hope of returning home.<
/p>
The three-day journey back took only one day, and the total fifteen-day journey was only on the fourth day as the team headed south. The border checkpoint belonging to the tribe had already appeared at the end of the field of vision.
Amidst the cheers, Elvis quietly advanced and said to Calvin behind him:
"Dear Mr. Ji..."
Halfway through his words, Elvis decided to call the Primarch in front of him simply "Sir" after receiving a hint from Calvin's eyes.
He exerted force on his legs, urged the horse under his crotch to take two quick steps to reach a position beside Calvin, and asked Calvin in a low voice the question he had wanted to know all along.
"Lord Calvin. I want to know your next steps for me and the chapter I belong to."
It's not because he's too anxious or lacks character, but it's about the future of his war group. Being able to endure it for so long has made Calvin take a high look at this young man.
Calvin did not answer his question directly, but under Elvis' nervous gaze, he mentally calculated the return date agreed with Constantine.
"Ten years, 15 years at most."
He raised his hand to stop Elvis' urging, and explained seriously to this young man who shouldered a heavy mission.
"Within five years, the ally I have been waiting for will arrive. With his help, I expect to be able to

Chapter 42 The Unstoppable Process Free Reading:,!
Complete the initial industrialization of the northern continent of this planet within ten years. This is also the basic condition for us to return your mothership to space."
"So long?" Elvis still couldn't accept it.
"I'm afraid the High Lords Council will not allow us to disappear from their sight for such a long time." He said worriedly.
The diplomatic affairs of the Chapter are not within the scope of his responsibilities.
However, as the chief and only pharmacist, he is also half of the top management of the war group. Although he has no decision-making power on all major internal affairs of the war group, he is obliged to attend and observe.
Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Elvis knew something about the management of the war group, although he had never seen a pig running away, but the pork there was inedible.
"You have no choice in the first place, right?"
Calvin looked at Elvis calmly, reminding him with his eyes and words - even if they had not lost contact with the High Lords Council, they would still fail the Tribunal's next gene seed inspection...<
/p>
"Okay. Follow your will."
Under the puzzled eyes of the indigenous warriors beside him, Elvis saluted Calvin in the saddle with an eagle salute. This was his way of testing Calvin to see if he was hostile to the Empire's Legitimacy.
.
Naturally, this little thought could not be hidden from Calvin's eyes. He smiled casually and said to Elvis: "The Emperor's blessing! You can trust any Gray Knight! We are different from you. In the past ten thousand years, we have been fighting against Chaos.
In battle, we never fell!"
"You!"
The red-faced Elvis was about to argue, but Calvin didn't give him the chance. He had already mounted his horse and charged forward, joining the soldiers cheering for seeing their hometown.
The sound of horse hooves sounded behind him. It was Alan Janus who drove the horse to Elvis's side. Under the gaze of the young man, he said to Elvis seriously:
"Condens your useless emotions and think carefully about my father's words. You will know how ridiculous your doubts are. As he said, the genes of the Gray Knights come from the holy emperor himself, and my father is only responsible for the inheritance.
, our purity is definitely not something you can desecrate! You should be careful what you say!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Allen also urged the mount on his crotch to rush towards the fireworks-filled city in front. At the end of Elvis's field of vision, in the main gate of the city that opened wide from the middle, he could already see the huge welcome of those mortals.
Team...
In Imperial Calendar 020.36, 30 years have passed in the blink of an eye since the eleventh Chapter Astartes was jointly established by Terra and Mars in the second year.
Calvin returned to the tribal center and began to devote all his energy to the management of the tribe.
In the past ten years or so, the stable economic policy has begun to bear fruit. No matter how the southern countries intervene and infiltrate, the materials and population of the entire Northland have increased to an extremely terrifying number.
And this number is hidden in the complicated political decrees set by Calvin and the complicated economic data in various places. The spies of the southern countries have not failed to detect it.
But without overall data summary, this core secret is still known only to Calvin.
Under his complex but clear-purpose policy adjustments, within half a year, the work center of the entire Northern Han Dynasty began to slowly withdraw from production and construction, and instead shifted covertly in the direction of military preparations.
Weapons smelting workshops and warehouses in various places are moving out all their inventories and transporting them to key route warehouses where the main forces are gathering.
The training subjects for off-duty professional soldiers in various places are quietly turning towards actual combat, and the content of acting is no longer a single subject, but a complete set of systematic strike procedures with the support of complete staff functions.
The second-line militia mobilization plan has not been made public, but the number of training sessions is slowly increasing in intensity on a monthly basis.
Reserve officers from various places also began to be withdrawn from various departments under the orders of the general staff. In a centralized and closed environment, they consulted the maps of southern cities that were issued, as well as information about the villages and water sources connected between them.
The wheels of war have begun to slowly start, and Calvin does not have much confidence in absolute confidentiality.
Once the national-level armed sequence is launched, it will have a huge impact that cannot be concealed. This is unique to him as a ruler

Get a clear understanding.
But unfortunately this time the enemy is too ignorant and too arrogant.
Their ignorance and contempt for the modern military mobilization system caused them to lose the most precious time to gather and prepare on the eve of the war.
The southern countries, which had been paralyzed by the long-term peace, were still immersed in the illusion of a good economic environment, no worries at home and no strong enemies externally.
The phenomenon of military corruption and empty pay is spread throughout their army, and even front-line troops cannot avoid it.
The irony is that their envoys were arrogant and strong on the outside. From the mouths of the envoys from the southern countries stationed in the tribal ancestral homes, Calvin even heard their outrageous remarks that "the nomads in the north are naturally inferior."
Obviously, these people who have been at peace for too long and have lost their sense of crisis are still stuck in the illusion of the "successful domestication" of the northern peoples...
When these documents symbolizing the completion of the preparation work were gathered into Calvin's hands like snowflakes, all the preparatory conditions under the map of the South in the big tent where he worked were met.
Calvin knew that the day of unifying the continent was not far away.
