"You have done a good job. This is how you should deal with such crazy people. I have no other opinions. But what are you going to face next? Are you prepared?"
The old man's worries about the Gray Knights are obviously not unreasonable.
"We are prepared to take on more responsibilities in future tasks."
Yule expressed their attitude tactfully.
Grand Inquisitor Uther was very pleased with this response, but he did not forget to emphasize the difficulty:
"That's good, I hope to see that day. But please note that although many of my colleagues and I still adhere to the original treaty, your every move is in their eyes. Please don't let them down, after all In my eyes, there is only one chance for things like the wolf crying."
"There will be a day, don't worry."
Yule glanced at Calvin and assured the old man with confidence.
"Then I have no other opinions on the matter here. Next is the issue of finishing. Do you have any ideas?"
This is the old man's respect for them, and it is also a question about the attitude of the Gray Knights.
"Clean the memory! No one of them can be left behind! Before that, control the scope of their actions."
This is Calvin's opinion. It also requires a painful process, but the outcome is much better than simple destruction.
"Okay, I respect your opinions. But correspondingly, here at Goliath Chapter, I need you to be a buffer in the middle. This incident has a great impact on the Tribunal, and we need their understanding."
The old man also has his own difficulties. As one of the top leaders of the Demonic Tribunal in the Storm Star Territory, one of the five major star territories in the empire, he hates the actions of Erlanti and his like.
But for the sake of the overall image and political credibility of the Inquisition, he still had to hold his nose and wipe their butts afterwards.
"This... I don't think Captain Kristen will refuse our goodwill, but the Inquisition's... I'm not sure."
Calvin told the truth and told the old man his prediction.
"The traitor's head will be publicized in the star field, and the Tribunal will make a statement. To them, well. A new strike cruiser, but it is not sent, it is leased. The period is arbitrary, and the cruiser and the troops stationed on it You must respond to our call for the next 300 years. This is my final bottom line."
After thinking briefly, the old man gave Calvin a bargaining chip that was hard to refuse. He believed that it would be equally hard to refuse if Christen himself was here.
This is definitely not a temporary decision made by Uther, but no matter what, all this face is given, and the condition is only a small call agreement, which already shows the sincerity of the other party.
And the additional condition itself also proves the old man's excellent emotional intelligence and handling skills. It also proves that the existence of these outstanding mortals in the empire is by no means meaningless.
The Astartes were already fighting for the Imperium. Unless there was utter hatred, which call would they refuse?
What's more, 300 years of fighting side by side gave each other a good opportunity to rebuild trust.
On this basis, it is expected that the Inquisition will have enough confidence and strength in the future to make this Chapter willing to better serve the Empire under their banner in terms of materials, intelligence, military assistance, etc.
The same purpose, in the hands of different people, has completely two results. The difference is that one just wants to have sex for free, while the other is the first to show sincerity.
If you want to take it first, you must give it first. Calvin said he learned.
"No problem, I can go and talk to Company Commander Christen right now." Calvin was also very satisfied with such a favorable and cost-effective deal.
"Then it's all about the details."
Uther expressed satisfaction that the problem was solved smoothly, and he mentioned a detail that the Gray Knights would not have cared about originally.
"Who will be responsible for the specific force responsible for memory cleaning?"
"Huh?" Calvin was stunned, and then looked at Yule beside him.
"Do we have this army?"
The latter's expression was a little complicated. While he answered Calvin affirmatively with his eyes, he asked Uther:
"We can do it, but it's actually against convention. What's your opinion?"
"It's up to you to come out. I know that you have always maintained a huge number of mortal troops, but you have no name to show up, right? Then just come here, just right. The situation here is complicated, at least in the early stage, with your joining, the three parties Trust is better built. We're off to a good start and you have your first recruiting planet all to yourself, which is good."
"Your generosity! I really don't know how to thank you!"
Yule's whole body became excited. He didn't care how much manpower these planets could provide for the Gray Knights.
But as long as they have this place, their mortal troops hidden on other remote planets have their own names.
From now on, these troops who should have been purged in previous battles against Chaos can once again contribute their share of the empire under the command of the Gray Knights after changing their identities.
The arrival of this kind of attached troops made the Gray Knights in Yule's heart take a big step forward from the existence called the Legion.
"It's not that we don't want to see you grow. What we are worried about is that when your core numbers are difficult to grow, your subordinate mortal troops will grow out of control due to unrestricted growth. Since you have confidence in yourself now, this is no longer a problem. .”
The smiling Uther gently explained their considerations to Le. He did not want the other party to have a bad misunderstanding about his colleagues.
"Understood! We understand the concerns of all the judges. It is necessary."
Yule knew the preciousness of this opportunity and understood that what the other party said was true.
No matter how bad an individual's survivor bias makes the outside world's impression of the Inquisition, in the larger environment, these mortals on the front line of fighting for the Empire to resist Chaos are worthy of respect. At least that's true for the vast majority of them.
As for the young people who must be hidden among them, Yule, who has received the greatest concession, said he doesn't care.
Seek what is above it, seek what is below it.
Today's harvest is already a surprise for Yule, and he really has no reason to ask for more.
"But you won't get unlimited growth! This is the bottom line with no room for anything!"
Having given power, Grand Inquisitor Uther restrained it with the rigor befitting his rank.
"The adjustment of your attached troops must follow your cruisers. This way, in future operations, they can arrive at the same time as you. Therefore, if necessary, you will not receive other support from the nearby Astra Militarum."
This is the final bottom line for the Gray Knights from the Grand Inquisitor or the entire Tribunal he represents.
"clear!"
Yule and Calvin, who had come back to their senses, agreed together.
"It's up to you to provide their equipment and material support. The Tribunal is not responsible for it!"
Uther seemed to add this angrily, even if it was a decent ending to this huge concession on behalf of the Inquisition.
"clear!"
This is the common response of Jules and Calvin to Uther. Naturally, they won't care about this little detail after taking advantage of everything.
"Okay! Go to work quickly! I am getting older and I have to rest after traveling for such a long time. I will leave the rest to you young people, and I will not accompany you."
After saying this, Uther, who couldn't hold himself any longer, smiled and said to Calvin.
