Chapter 16 Strange Groups and Alarms from Far Away
After passing through the training hall and the weapons and equipment warehouse, the two walked all the way to the main body of the training hall, which is also the widest chapel.
Alan Janus and a Gray Knight had been waiting at the door for a long time, and smiled and greeted them after seeing their figures.
Nicholas was not surprised by this situation. After he returned to Calvin, this strange situation happened every day at work.
The hull of the Angel of Punishment is not too small, but there are not many passages that can accommodate the Astartes class.
The day after Nicholas boarded the ship, he found that the Gray Knight he met was different from before.
As long as he encounters a group of Gray Knights in a certain corridor, no other Gray Knights will come towards him in the next course of action.
This kind of situation is not only reflected in the daily walking inside the ship. After Alan Janus and him clearly assigned the scope of work and took away the fleet's defense, the frequency of this kind of thing became more frequent. p>
Nicholas could sense the existence of other Gray Knights, and they did not hide deliberately.
But in the context of this perception, it was those Gray Knights who seemed to have been notified earlier, far out of his sight, and bypassed the passage that was too narrow for each other.
The same is true for his colleagues. Jin and Alexander talked to him about this matter more than once.
If they didn't clearly know the number of Gray Knights serving on this battleship, it would be difficult for them to judge the number of Gray Knights they could see based on the intelligence.
These brothers, they can't be communicating with each other around the clock, right?
Nicholas sometimes doubts this, but such a large-scale, continuous use of power seems unrealistic just thinking about it.
It is impossible to ask, after all, each legion has their own secrets;
They had no right to interrogate a Primarch without the Emperor's express orders.
"Ahem! Something happened? Tell me."
Calvin coughed in a mocking manner, indicating that Alan Janus could explain the matters at hand clearly in front of Nicholas.
"Yes..." Allen lowered his head in response, and glanced at Nicholas covertly.
With the psychic link open almost around the clock, communication within the legion with Calvin does not require the presence of Allen himself as before.
Among the communication permissions within the legion, the first-level channel that directly connects officers and Calvin is sufficient for them to communicate on most daily matters.
But in order to maintain a normal appearance in front of "outsiders", Allen rushed to the door of the training ground from the other side of the battleship after finishing the matter with Calvin.
Yes, Calvin was just discussing the next itinerary with the officers in the legion while having a "teaching" confrontation with Nicholas.
This kind of multi-threaded working at the same time is the norm in his now developed and mature brain;
Now his brain is not only a tool for his own thinking, but also serves as a valve for the information collection of the legion's will deep in his soul in legion mode.
This powerful information processor, when the Gray Knights are not at war, is in a secondary response state that is at odds with his soul;
In daily work and internal training, he also needs to use his brain to sort out the information communicated within the legion.
But in a state of war, he has no shirking responsibility and must be integrated with his soul essence;
While responsible for the torrent of information for the entire legion, it is also responsible for the integration of the huge wave of psychic energy from different souls when all psychic energies are linked together to fight.
"Three hours ago, the fleet navigator informed us that our journey is only one day away from the icy veil."
Allen whispered, pulled away the data pad in his hand, and handed it to Calvin's hand.
Nicholas on the side collected his thoughts and turned his attention to the star map on the data board.
"Then?"
Calvin looked at the red dot mark on the data board. A dark green triple skull was marked on the edge of the icy veil.
"After summarizing the information from the Tribunal, we were informed that there is a high possibility of chaos contamination on the waterway ahead."
"The specific location and scale." Calvin's tone became serious, and Nicholas also raised his ears and listened carefully to what was being said to him.
"The Velax galaxy is extremely far away from the Ice Veil. The two galaxies are in the same star sector and are exactly at the opposite corners of the Milky Way equator. Diseases have begun to occur from different planets in the star sector, and the capital of the Bishop World has already been infected three times.
There has been no signal feedback for this cycle. According to the Inquisition, the place should have fallen."
"Where are the Imperial troops nearby?
"Nicholas looked at Allen. The conventional defense mechanism should have been activated at this time, but the Velax galaxy on the star map did not have any imperial army logo.
"There is currently no organized Astra Militarum nearby. The sector fleet has just been transferred by the star domain government. It should now be fighting in the direction of Dresca."
"Where is the Chapter Astartes?" Calvin looked at the star map carefully, but could not find a sign indicating the location of the Chapter.
"There is currently no battle group stationed here. There is only a Death Watch fortress in the nearest location, which is still used as a training base."
Well, Nicholas looked at the two people in front of him and was speechless. This assistance to Velasquez seemed inevitable.
In the context of the complete blankness of nearby imperial power, he had no reason to prevent Calvin's participation.
"We must intervene there! If Nurgle's epidemic cannot be contained at an early stage, all that will be left there will be a mess."
Calvin set the tone for this event, and the Captain of the Custodes could not object to it.
"The speech originally scheduled to be held on the Cold Veil..."
Nicholas still wanted to make a final struggle, but in the face of Calvin's serious expression, he finally chose silence.
The Angel of Punishment began to slowly enter a state of war.
The members of the Tribunal in the cabin were awakened by the Gray Knights from their dormant state while traveling through subspace.
The complex awakening and purity test rituals have been temporarily simplified:
The first scene they saw when they opened their eyes from the soft bed.
It's those giant men in silver armor from the Holy Hammer Order who are coming to the door holding a sharp halberd in one hand and a book with fine gold horns on the cover in the other hand.
These giants ignored their questions and simply recited the cipher text in their hands in ancient runes in a low voice.
The purity test that originally lasted for several hours was forcibly shortened to a few minutes with the blessing of the Devil's Code.
After confirming the purity of the people in front of them, they opened their mouths and showed white teeth and smiled at the confused trial court personnel:
"Get up, in the name of the Emperor and the Titans, we have work to do!"
At the same time, since the fleet set off, it has been sailing quietly in the fleet sequence, and on the "Interstellar Labyrinth" with no sense of presence, Moloch, the leader of the Minotaur Chapter, also slowly opened his eyes.
