Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 39 Aftermath and Seed

No matter how big the stone is, the waves thrown into the pool will eventually calm down.

The Grand Master of the Gray Knights Chapter did not make enough waves in this game with the Inquisition.

The autumn wind is starting at the end of the day, and the impact of the negotiations between the two parties is far from beginning to appear.

Other departments of the empire that have the right to know the existence of the Gray Knights may know about this matter, or they may not know the specific situation, and they are only making guesses due to the unusual blockade of Titan this time.

But in any case, these did not affect the preparations of the Gray Knights.The turmoil in the outside world may still continue, or it may never stop.

But for Titan, once the seeds of change are planted, they need little attention.

Wait in peace for them to break ground, germinate, and watch them thrive in the direction they are prepared.

One day, people will see a towering tree here that can shelter others from wind and rain.

One day, after seeing this spectacular scenery, someone will find the tiny beginning of this great change in the history books by going back hundreds of years.

As for the person who first planted the seed, or who watered and fertilized it as it grew, he probably didn't care whether he could get its shade.

The charm of short-lived species may be here, knowing that he is a flower that can only bloom for one season, a mayfly that lives and dies.

But there are always some individuals who refuse to succumb to fate.

Whenever the race is at a critical moment of life and death, they will stand out from the group and burn themselves desperately, just to issue that fleeting challenge to fate.

So did the Emperor, so did Prime Minister Malcador.For thousands of years, the empire has represented all mankind to open up territories in the Milky Way, all the way through thorns and thorns, and on the road with blue threads, those heroes who shouted the name of mankind and the emperor to the enemies of the empire, and the same is true for the heroic spirits who died in the charge.

Who cares?Probably only this race cares about itself.But, that's enough.

With the passage of time, one month after the time of Terra, Walden, the supreme mentor of the Gray Knights Chapter, also declared the end of his trip to the headquarters of the Inquisition Chamber.

He appeared in the Chapter's meeting room as usual on an unremarkable sunrise, as if he had never left.As if he was tireless, he buried himself in the war group's files again.

Negotiations with the Tribunal finally came to a fairly smooth result.This is also due to the fact that he did not force an immediate change to the practices of the Tribunal for thousands of years, but placed the period of change in the distant three hundred years.

Time has given both parties enough buffers, and it has given enough time for stakeholders who have been impacted by this change to adapt.This is a choice full of political wisdom, and it is also a choice that can be accepted by most people.

300 years is both long and short.At that time, presumably it doesn't matter whether he is present or not, or whether the person who holds the seal of the trial court is rotated.

With the support of massive gene seeds cultivated from Mars, the Gray Knights will no longer have the days when they were struggling to replenish their soldiers.

Mentors don’t need to look at batches of recruits, who will say goodbye forever in the next battle without even memorizing their names;

Brother pharmacists, there is no need to endure sorrow, and try to sew up new wounds on the old wounds of these young bodies that have not yet healed;
These children no longer have to just climb out of the medical cabin, and even have no time to mourn for the lost comrades, before rushing to the next life-and-death battle...

At that time, the huge number of soldiers in the battle group and the abundant armaments that have finally been fully utilized will ride together on those brand-new strike cruisers that have been prepared thousands of years ago, and star in the vast territory of the empire. Split cruising for units.

On every fleet in every sector, there will be tens of thousands of gray knights waiting for the call of the Prophet Brothers and the Judgment anytime and anywhere.

What a majestic and majestic picture that will be!The great mentor occasionally thinks about the future when he is busy.

This kind of gray knight is what the emperor's vision looks like; it is also this kind of gray knight that is the wall of the empire that the late prime minister of the empire, Malcador, wanted to see, and only this kind of gray knight can take on the responsibility of mankind. where hope lies.

There is no longer any need for a desperate gamble, because there are more brothers holding up the umbrella of the frontal battlefield for them;

It is no longer necessary to rush into the devil's castle with a few large companies to face countless enemies, because more comrades in arms will open the way to victory for them.

Every time Walden thought of this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly.

He couldn't help raising his head for a moment. In his excited eyes looking at the distant Terra outside the window, such a gray knight can serve the empire better; and only such a gray knight can serve those in the subspace. Dirty bastards, bring more death!

When such a group of Gray Knights appeared in front of the trial court at that time with a brand-new attitude, the seemingly unreasonable request of the Grand Master today must have become a matter of course.

And all of this was brought about by the young man standing quietly beside him. It was this young man who brought the first spark of hope to the entire battle group and even the entire human race.

The supreme mentor, Walden, stopped the work in his hands, and he looked sideways at the young man standing quietly beside him like a sculpture.

The first half of Calvin's first rotation cycle has come to an end after a year of delegating to the company.The next arrangement is to return from the company to the top of the chapter, to serve as adjutant and leader of the guard at the side of the Grand Master.

In this position, he will learn the daily operation logic of the entire battle group through close contact with the administrative affairs of the battle group, and make sufficient preparations for him to take over this huge group of fighters one day.

This is a unique promotion path carefully arranged by the great mentors for him. Its original intention is not to cultivate a powerful fighter, the empire has never lacked fighters; it is not to cultivate a decisive commander, the empire's History has proved that just being a commander in chief cannot change the dilapidated situation of the empire, which has been weak in political affairs and loose in management for thousands of years.

The Great Mentors wanted more. They hoped that with their support, the young man in front of him could eventually become a towering giant who could influence the political situation of the entire empire based on the Gray Knights and Tribunal.

Under such a long-term layout and plan that can even be called ambitious, in the thousands of years of practice between the Inquisition and the Gray Knights, the game and final compromise on the right to send representatives are only for this group of veterans. The first step in our long-term layout.

For 8000 years, according to the decree issued by the emperor himself, the huge amount of equipment and supplies from Mars allowed the instructors to have nothing but personnel supplies, without the care and preferential treatment of any forces in the empire.

The arrival of Calvin will make up for the last shortcoming of the Gray Knights, so that the replenishment of soldiers will no longer be a shackle.When such an existence beyond all the powers of the empire, based on the accumulation of thousands of years, began to grow savagely into a behemoth that no one could ignore, presumably the expressions of these forces who were used to running around like dogs would be very exciting.

And the next thing needs long-term patience and the power of time to change slowly.

Among them, the Gray Knights and Gray Knights had enough time to wait, and Calvin also had enough patience to wait.

As the instigators of such a plan covering the millennium's changes, the great mentors of the Gray Knights may not have the opportunity to witness it alive.

Mentors don't care, Calvin doesn't know.But since the seeds have been planted, just wait for the moment when he breaks through the ground.

The great mentor Walden also expressed his views on this matter with a smile in a meeting:

"Unlike before, this time, time is on our side."
