Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 230 Assembly, the beginning of the war

"Fight, only fight."

After a little thought, Calvin came to the most direct conclusion.

All kinds of omens indicated that there would be new enemies appearing, and Orpheus had just breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the use of the Grand Fleet is not the power of the Gray Knights themselves. There are many concerns about using this extra chip on the surface, and for the sake of tacit understanding with other forces, there is no need to do it again.

Then simply use it up once!
Calvin made up his mind and decided not to wait for the restoration of order in the star area.

Instead, he hopes to use the existing power at once to completely wipe out the orcs in the Hassan sector before the arrival of new enemies.

"Decided?"

Aidan looked at his beloved apprentice, the future leader of the Legion.Reaffirm his determination to him.

Now that Calvin's wings are just taking shape, it is the critical moment to establish his authority.

In order not to affect the spread of his influence, the Grand Mentor Council no longer took the initiative to issue orders, but only maintained the daily work of the battle group and the trial court according to the original rhythm.

"The decision is made!"

Facing the gaze of the commander who led him all the way into the battle group, Calvin made his will clear.

Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches.

In his previous life, this sentence was already an experience in the army. In terms of this strategic level of judgment, he was extremely lucky to get the bonus of the heritage of the nation he was born in again.

"Then let's do it! We still have us at home, don't worry!"

The veteran looked at the young man with relief. He had walked all the way from a recruit to the battle group, and finally had his own strategic decision-making and determination.

Now that the young eagles have dared to meet the wind and rain, the veterans naturally dare to let go of their hands and feet and let them do whatever they want.

Calvin turned and left from the governor's mansion. Accompanied by the honor guard, he walked to the helipad on the top floor of the hive capital, and at the same time gave his order to the adjutant Alan Janus next to him:

"Order!"

A deep voice came from his mouth, making Allen beside him enter the state instantly.

Calvin looked at the data pad in Allen's hand with satisfaction, and then said:

"[-]. Notify the four battle groups that the temporary preparations are over, and gather on the spot to advance to the southern theater—the Hassan Star District!
[-]. The Tindalos Legion immediately approached the nearest warship (Grey Knight), and waited for orders after boarding the ship!

[-]. Inform the court of justice and the Ministry of Military Affairs that I want Orpheus to have all the mobile forces of the Astral Army, and no concealment or reservation is allowed!
Fourth, notify the representatives of the lower-level Forge World of the star area, and let the technical representative of the Reza Forge World come to see me, as soon as possible! "

After issuing multiple orders, Calvin walked towards the Thunderhawk who was on standby, and as the formation of fighter planes escorted by the gunboat flew away, Calvin also returned to his own ship.

The authority of the high lord and the special status of the Inquisition are magnified indefinitely on him, and the status of the Gray Knight as an Astartes has also allowed him to be recognized by other war groups in the star area.

With several telegrams centered on Amara, it spread to the entire star area.

The power of the entire star area is under his edict and begins to mobilize in the direction of all-out war.

Yes, this is the status quo in Orpheus.

Even in the case of losing the two adjacent allies Leyak and Hassan one after another;

Even though the star sector itself has been at war with Chaos and the orcs for more than ten years, Orpheus, which is centrifugal up and down, has not yet entered the stage of total war.

In this star region, there are still galaxies that have no sense of urgency threatened by war at all, and are still living in their own small circle of drunken dreams, and this is not an uncommon phenomenon!

Without the arrival of Calvin, without his special identity and the huge force behind him to support;

According to the original fate here, one of the original Big Three will probably take over the final rights here.

And would he be able to hold the entire sector together?

impossible.

Because their superiority itself was achieved on the basis of collusion with local forces and exchange of interests.

It is impossible for them to betray the interest groups that support them, and it is even more impossible for them to lead by example and promote their political views to the entire planet.

They can't even govern their own forces, how can they govern other factions?

Fortunately, Calvin came, and fortunately his identity is so detached;

Fortunately, his own Gray Knights have nothing to do with the local area, fortunately his armed forces are enough to deter the local heroes;

Only then can he let the entire star region be brought up with a single order, and move towards a system that is completely dedicated to war.

A large number of nobles have been dealt with in previous purges, and their wealth and private troops have also been concentrated;

The intertwined state of the large families in the star area has been changed, and the hidden wealth of these big families hidden from the sight of the star area authorities has also been investigated and confiscated.

Tens of thousands of private armed forces were confiscated and concentrated, and hundreds of star realm legions reappeared in the list of the Imperial Military and Political Department;
And this is just the beginning, a large number of weapons and equipment have been found from families with rampant smuggling business;

More taxes that were hidden and not reported were collected one after another.

When the feedback from the most remote planetary world in the star sector reached Amara, Aidan was almost surprised to find that the first batch of these cleaned up materials alone was enough to arm hundreds of regiment-level units of the Astra Militarum .

And the follow-up materials are still on the way. Judging from the data reported by these materials, the financial distress of the star area can even be improved!
The minimum is 500, and the maximum is 2000. This is the expansion limit of the Star Militia Army reported by Aidan to Calvin afterwards, and such a large number of military expansions will not even be used in this year's budget...

It has been more than a month since Admiral Juan returned to the southern theater adjacent to the Hassan sector.

After getting Calvin's endorsement, he completely gave up his ambition and intention of taking over the star region.

He re-focused on the preparations for the large naval fleet, but he was respected and loved by the officers and men of the fleet;
Now his ability to control the large fleet is stronger, and he is determined to decide the outcome with the orcs. After learning of Calvin's mobilization order and the notification of his combat readiness, he is even more fanatical in preparing for the decisive battle.

The world of St. Elmore, the cardinal world named after the saint of the state religion, Elmore, was also chosen as the core of the defense line of the southern theater because of its geographical location after the flames of war ignited.

This former super duty-free world exclusive to the Holy See is now under construction in full swing.

Under the background that the forces in the star area are fully integrated by Calvin, Juan, who is self-respecting, no longer has the need to store a large amount of supplies.

All the materials accumulated in the southern theater over the decades were taken out, and with the help of the navy's exclusive engineering ships, they were built into huge barracks and permanent defense systems.

The sailors at the front still had doubts in the early stage of receiving the order, worrying that the profligacy of supplies would put the subsequent large fleet in poverty and embarrassment and threatened by hostile forces.

But when the first batch of barracks and warehouses were built, the Star Militia Army and the associated equipment and materials from the interior of the star area were already in place on schedule.

Afterwards, the large material transport ship like raindrops almost paralyzed the entire star port of St. Elmore.

Vast, uncountable quantities of supplies are being transported to the front in the vehicles of these charter captains;
And the new berths that are newly built and completed every day are also used by more incoming ships, swallowing more supplies.

The support from the sector is so spared, which certainly makes the soldiers and people of the frontier very heartened.

But when this huge power has been kept at this high standard and continues to be shipped, these local populations finally understand the meaning of it"

A real battle is about to begin.
