Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 233 The resolution in the storm and the rising tide in the star field
Although the cardinals looked puzzled at Salatan, they still hesitantly raised their hands to follow him when he looked back.

Navy representative Samir Tay, as other participating forces, was the first to raise his hand in response;
The news of the Orpheus northern war zone has spread throughout the star field, and the decisive battle with the Chaos fleet and victory is a powerful encouragement for all navies.

The high-ranking officers of the navy and their family members all knew more or less the significance of Calvin in this battle. As the son of the admiral and high lord, he was naturally one of them.

(The admiral high lord is not the high lord of Terra. The full name of the navy representative in the high lord council of Terra is - granted by the emperor himself - Grand Marshal, the supreme lord of the imperial navy, not the admiral high lord. Two There is also an honorary military rank as an interval between the two, so I won’t go into details here.)
As one of the countless sons of the Admiral of the Fleet, he had a great interest in going to Orpheus to participate in the war.

This kind of opportunity to fight under the command of a high lord is rare. Whether it is resources or military strength, he is extremely optimistic about Calvin's influence.

In his prime of life, he neither lacks connections nor qualifications;
The only thing he lacks, or what prevents him from being independent from the family and becoming a glorious captain of the Imperial Navy, is precisely the undisputed feat brought about by a great war;
If he can rely on the feats made in this battle to become independent from his family and become the commander of a warship, it will be a great boost to his future.

The representative of Deathwatch's Grand Mentor in the Storm Starfield, Arena Yang also silently raised his right hand covered with ceramic steel armor. He has no interest in the entanglements behind these political affairs;

However, any campaign that can integrate the scattered resources of the empire on a large scale and carry out a powerful attack on the aliens under the leadership of the high-ranking people is something they must support.

The representatives of the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Military Command secretly crossed their eyes. The failure brought about by the meeting made them stunned, but they were unwilling to give up.

Driven by Salatan, the supreme administrator under the Holy See, most of the cardinals among the representatives of the religious order have raised their hands in agreement;

As for those who did not express their views, there were only a few cardinals whose jurisdictions were adjacent to Terra, a few cardinals who were influenced by the Archbishop of Terra, and the two representatives of Mechanicus who had never spoken.

Their opinions are extremely important, and the opinions of the foundry generals who are the representatives of the Mars faction are not expected, because Mars has always had a close relationship with the Inquisition;
As a direct recipient of Calvin's edict, the attitude of Reza's Forge World representative will directly affect the final outcome of the meeting.

However, it is impossible for Rizal World to resist the call from a supreme lord alone. They have also been famous for their prudent and steady diplomatic style in the past ten thousand years.

Although Calvin's act of directly naming their Titan Legion this time was abrupt, without the help of other allies, both of them knew that the biggest possibility was that Reza would comply with Calvin's request, and then raise other conditions in private afterwards.

They shirked each other with intertwined eyes, hoping that someone from each other would stand up and be the first person in the meeting to clearly express their opposition.

In the end, it was the Star Border Army's natural reliance on the Ministry of the Interior in terms of supplies, which put him at a disadvantage in the end.

Under the urging of the allies, the representative of the Star Border Army had no choice but to cough lightly, and adjusted his military uniform to stand up and object.

clang!clang!clang!
The bell rang outside the venue, indicating that there were temporary matters that needed to be sent to the conference room.

The representative of the military command who was stuck in the middle shrugged helplessly to the allies beside him, signaling to be safe and not to be impatient.

A crack opened beside the huge steel door of the conference room.

Under the gazes of everyone, a mechanical priest in a crimson burqa bowed his head, walked quietly, and delivered a data pad to the desk of the representative of Reza World. (The uniforms of the Mechanicus are uniformly red, but the specific color shades vary according to the faction. The most famous of them is the iconic bright red of Mars, and others have their own expressions.)
"Please wait!"

Trinity Solomon, the ruling sage from the Forge World of Reza, raised his native arm to signal the temporary suspension of the meeting.

On the power backpack behind him, there is a mechanical arm dedicated to data communication, which is changing its shape while humming, converting the interface into a standard consistent with the data board.

"Hmm... the design blueprint of the planet killer, and samples of three experimental ships with different construction progress?"

In his mind, he began to calculate quickly with regard to the unexpected bargaining chip and the gains and losses brought about by the transaction;
And the brain belongs to another language logic area, and at the same time, it starts to communicate with the Martian mechanical priest who is sitting next to him.

The other party had obviously received this document in advance, and readily agreed to the communication initiated with Solomon.

Under the watchful eyes of all the participants, the two opened the encrypted communication at the spectral level without anyone else. The green and bright yellow lasers shot from the eyes of the two, and the huge amount of information loaded in it was exchanged and analyzed with amazing efficiency. ,confirm.

3 seconds, only three seconds.

The representatives of the top five foundry worlds of the two Mechanicus Cult factions completed a huge amount of information exchange, and strategic mutual trust under numerous agreements that only the Mechanicus Cult internally knew.

Sage Solomon, who received a satisfactory reply, ignored the request to speak from the representative of the Military Command Department. Under the latter's twitching expression, he announced to everyone in a cold but definite tone:

"Reza World has felt the sincerity from the Tribunal, and is willing to contribute its meager strength to this battle under the command of the supreme lord Calvin!"

And as his voice settled, the mechanical priests of the Martian faction and the remaining cardinals also raised their hands.

"It's over~!"

The faces of the two mortals with evil intentions were ashen, and the two of them, who knew that the situation was over, sat in their seats for a long time without speaking.

But the agenda will not wait for them. After everyone has expressed their views, the only two remaining seem so abrupt.

After being quiet for a long time, the two finally regained their senses belatedly from the silent gaze of the crowd.

And after realizing that their own side had been faintly isolated, the two had no choice but to pull themselves together, and responded to these scrutinizing gazes with extremely reluctant smiles:

"Military Command/Interior Ministry is honored to participate in this campaign and will unconditionally obey the command of the Supreme Lord!"

The meeting that decided the policy direction of the Storm Star Field for the next few decades has finally come to an end.

At the same time, corresponding to the various forces participating in this meeting, forces with their own backgrounds began to move in the direction of Orpheus in the distant Storm Star Field.

　Second watch, please vote.

　　In addition, I just climbed out of the quarantine, and my production capacity has been slightly stretched recently, so please forgive me.
