"Okay, I take back what I said before..." Calvin smiled and did not argue with these enthusiastic admirers of the emperor.
With his current status and resources, if he wants to do something for these battle sisters, he can definitely find a better way that the other party cannot refuse.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
In the 20th year after Calvin returned to Terra, after the Imperial State Church proposal was promoted by the Inquisition, the Terra Senate finally approved:
The three major Orders of Fighting Sisters, headquartered in the Holy Hermitage of Ophelia, all received valuable quotas to establish branches at once.
At that time, the Order of the Bloody Rose Battle Sisters, which had recovered from the damage to its organization, had received dual favor from the Empire's State Church and the Inquisition:
The imperial state religion rarely showed a generous side.
They promised to pay all the expenses of this new religious order during the establishment of the army, and ensure their future recruitment and garrison distribution around the world.
The Tribunal is even more silent.
In an unknown night, a mechanical priest who claimed to be from Krieg walked down from the starport of their garrison world.
On behalf of the huge industrial complex behind him, he signed a 300-year equipment supplement agreement with this Order of Battle Sisters.
The price is a throne coin. Well, an extremely expensive price...
Of course, these are all things for later, and right now, after finishing his conversation with the Battle Sisters, Calvin turned his questioning eyes to the Captains of the Ultramarines and the Imperial Fists.
The former, backed by the strong strength of the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar, does not lack industrial consumables such as weapons and equipment.
Therefore, from Stewart's highly emotional and politically savvy dialogue, Calvin, on behalf of his Order of the Hammer, expressed that he owed a valuable favor to the Ultramarines Chapter.
And under the former's warm invitation, Calvin promised that if he had time, he would go to the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar in person to "pay homage" to the Emperor's Son, the Imperial Regent, the sacred Primarch, and the Lord of the Thirteenth Legion.
——The Glory of Robert Guilliman.
As for whether the relationship between Calvin and the Ultramarines is really a simple visit and "pilgrimage" trip as they agreed on, only they themselves know...
His eyes turned to Captain Hornthorne of the Imperial Fists.
Although Calvin had dealt with these Sons of Dorne more than once, he was mentally prepared before having this conversation.
But when it comes to actually coming into contact with these "stone men", Calvin will still lament their stubbornness, and seriously doubt whether the genes of the empire's "final wall" are too powerful.
Otherwise, why would every son of Dorne he met be so introverted and not good at talking...
"We have nothing to say... Well, if I have to say it, Terra's conscription incident was evened."
After saying this, the high-ranking commander of the Imperial Fist turned around and left amid the astonishment of Calvin and Stewart.
"This..." Even though he was as emotionally intelligent as Stewart, he was overwhelmed by Hornthorne's operation.
He looked at Calvin for help, hoping that this "giant" who was not only rising rapidly in the imperial power system, but would also have a strong influence among the Astartes group, would not be affected by Hornthorne's actions.
Offended by being blunt.
As far as he knew, the current situation of the Imperial Fists was far from the ideal shown by the outside world.
Their losses in the "Beast War" were extremely heavy.
After the "Final High Wall Agreement" was launched, although they concentrated the power of all the "Emperor Fist" series battle groups, they struggled to win the battle against the orcs.
But as a price, the Chapter Headquarters of the Imperial Fists - that is, this direct line of troops originating from the Seventh Legion during the Great Crusade - has died in battle with the death of the last Blood of the Chapter, Second Captain Kurland.
Completely losing the last spark of fire.
Yes, this founding war group is no longer the one left by Rogal Dorn.
Today's Imperial Fists are mainly composed of the Astartes, the Paragon Fist with a shameful record of rebellion, and are composed of gene seeds donated by other Astartes chapters of the "Imperial Fists".
And their situation is not satisfactory. Although the coup led by Kurland can be said to be a helpless move due to the current situation.
But even if the final result was good, it still destroyed Roboute Guilliman's original intention and painstaking efforts in compiling the Codex Astartes.
The fragile trust that the empire's political center had re-established in the Astartes after thousands of years was once again trampled and shattered in this coup.
Since then, the mortal rulers headed by the Imperial Council have, without exception, looked at the Phalanx floating behind the moon with suspicion and fear in the thousands of years since they took office.
Is the Imperial Fist guilty? Of course the current empire would not admit it.
Because without the sacrifice of the Imperial Fists, it is unclear whether the Empire can still exist today.
Is the Imperial Fist not guilty?
It was precisely because of their reckless and brutal "riot" that the Empire never thought of destroying this dangerous beast, the Astartes Chapter, no matter how great the crisis was in the following thousands of years.
Release from the shackles of the Holy Scriptures.
There is no other reason than that mortals know clearly that this beast is beyond their control. Once it is released, there will be no chance of driving it back into its cage.
Warlord separatism is already the least severe consequence of this kind of behavior. The most likely outcome is the military government's dominance and the complete destruction of the empire.
Can't put it...can't put it...
This is the most important entrustment given by rulers of all ages to their successors when they reach the end of their lives.
How innocent are the other war bands of the empire? What are the crimes of the billions of citizens of the empire?
The internal consumption of resources caused by this distrust, the failure of local wars caused by this distrust, the hundreds of millions of imperial soldiers who died, and the deaths of hundreds of millions of people, who should we turn to to collect debts?

Every time this time comes, someone will always make an entry in the Imperial Fists' ledger.
Perhaps it was a certain Imperial veteran who knew the danger of the war ahead, but did not dare to let the Astartes fight together;
Perhaps it was the leader of a certain Astartes Chapter who saw the lives of countless people of the Empire in ruins, but because he only had less than a thousand troops in his hands.
Because of the information and intelligence advantages brought by their status, these high-ranking people have a deep understanding of where this nail that has been deeply engraved in the body of the empire since the Great Rebellion came from.
They also knew who it was that, after experiencing precious millennia of life, had once again tore this wound that should have gradually healed with the passage of time into an inextricable knot.
Death is a big deal.
The dead Kurland is destined not to know, and will not be able to continue to pay the price for this behavior. Maybe if he is asked to choose again, as the son of Dorne, he will make the same choice. Who knows?
It’s hard to atone for a living sin!
Every failure in the empire's foreign wars caused by these problems is a bad debt recorded by the mortal rulers on the Imperial Fists!
The humiliation and suspicion that every Astartes chapter suffered because they were not trusted was their increasing indifference towards the Imperial Fist. In the end, they saw this Imperial Fist having a bad relationship with the Black Templars within their own system.
It is declining day by day, and the ultimate reason has nothing to do with you!
But now, an opportunity was placed in front of Hornthorne, but he stubbornly refused to bend down to pick it up.
Because of the emergence of Calvin, the Imperial Senate was capable and confident for the first time, and had power equal to that of the Astartes Chapter.
And its leaders have enough goodwill towards the Imperial Fists to promote the opportunity for the Imperial Council and the Imperial Fists to reach a comprehensive reconciliation for the first time in thousands of years! Right in front of Hornhorn!
But he just refused to open his mouth!
Stewart is going crazy!
The emperor is really not in such a hurry that he is so... anxious!
