Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Meeting Calgar and Overwhelmed by Riches
The outskirts of Sky Eagle Port and the outskirts of Yarkalan Hive were no longer the same concept. It was a huge ring zone outside an entire metal continent, already similar to a special landform surrounding the outskirts of the hive city. Hiding an entire fleet there was still more than enough - of course, if anything else was hidden there, it would be difficult to find.
The planned landing area had relatively flat terrain with no obstacles. Simple plasteel platforms that had been set up gave the landing position for each ship.
In the sky, the fleet quickly broke through the thick clouds and entered the dark outskirts according to the planned plan.
Because the clouds were too thick, very little sunlight could penetrate. The temperature dropped sharply and the brightness suddenly turned dark, as if it had suddenly entered the night.
However, because preparations had been made in advance, more than a dozen straight beams of searchlights were shot out from below, so the fleet did not lose its direction, and landed on the platforms one by one, guided by the light.
When they gradually stopped moving, the calmed down ships were like metal steles of different shapes, neatly arranged independently of the surrounding environment.
Inside the cabin.
Zhang Ge finally received the news that the ship had docked, and freed himself from the ocean of information that was being processed more and more.
After informing the deputy commander via communication to take over all the matters he had left behind, Zhang Ge quickly left the cabin where he was temporarily staying with Amilia, who had come to deliver the message.
Outside the hatch, two guards who had been arranged to come over wanted to follow Zhang Ge, but he waved his hand to refuse, saying that if so many people present couldn't protect him, then adding two more of you wouldn't be of much use. You are responsible for protecting the documents in the cabin.
After walking for a while, Zhang Ge saw the figures of Canoness Blythe and the Victrix Honor Guard at the predetermined exit. They were obviously waiting for Zhang Ge and did not leave in advance. After he arrived, the Victrix Honor Guard said:
"Chapter Master Calgar is waiting for us outside. As long as you don't act crazy when you see him, the Chapter Master doesn't care that much about you."
Calgar, this name was very common in the Imperium, but when said by an Ultramarines in the position of Chapter Master, then the person referred to was undoubtedly that hero whose reputation resounded throughout the entire Imperium.
Although Zhang Ge couldn't muster up any nervous emotions, he was still curious about this famous Chapter Master.
When the exit opened in a burst of slight mechanical operation sounds, the scene that was revealed was a bit unexpected.
What came into view first were more than a dozen Victrix Honour Guard distributed on both sides. There was no need to elaborate on their greatness, but there was also a giant who was taller than everyone else.
The decoration on his blue-bottomed power armor was not much, only some of the most basic gold inlays and badges. Compared with the golden and magnificent Victrix Honor Guard bodyguards around him, he looked particularly plain, and even the medals and inscriptions used to show his honor were not displayed.
But after seeing his appearance, one would understand why.
Because the owner of this power armor no longer needed to use external objects decorated on the surface to show his honor. His slightly vicissitudes appearance was enough to remind people of the legendary stories that had been spread from mouth to mouth.
Calgar.
Zhang Ge didn't expect to suddenly see him in such an environment.
Not seeing the glorious giant sitting on the main seat in a magnificent palace, nor seeing the Emperor's angel descending from the sky on a battlefield full of artillery fire.
If you only looked at that face, his lips were tightly pressed together, there was not much blood on his lips, some slight wrinkles could be seen on his face, and his short white hair was stuck to his scalp. Overall, he showed a faint trace of fatigue, like an ordinary middle-aged man with no special characteristics, rather than an Imperial legend passed down in countless books.
However, after the initial surprise, he felt that this was also reasonable.
The current war situation was not optimistic, but it was a sacred task personally issued by the Primarch to defend this planet to the death.
He was under too much pressure and was too busy.
Any possible time could not be wasted in the slightest. There was no time to put on airs at all. Not to mention personally blocking the hatch to see everyone, he probably would have flown up here alone first if he could do it.
Without any extra etiquette, and without any twists and turns, Calgar's voice, although tired, was still steady, and sounded the moment everyone appeared:
"Is the Titan situation true?"
The Victrix Honor Guard next to Zhang Ge no longer had the Emperor is the boss and I am second-in-command temperament he had before, but held his sword hilt in one hand and became a member of the Chapter Master's bodyguards at this moment, and quickly responded:
"It's true."
"Very good."
Hearing this good news, Calgar nodded slightly.
A complete Warlord Titan could be called good news on any battlefield. The meaning it represented was too great, even no less than a newly formed Chapter with a complete establishment arriving on the battlefield to provide support.
The other of his eyes had been converted into a red electronic eye, and the only remaining one looked at Zhang Ge.
"If the Titan must have your command to fight, are you willing to return to the front line?"
Zhang Ge certainly had nothing to hesitate about this and replied:
"Of course, but..."
Before he could say the following words, he heard Calgar interrupt:
"My intuition tells me that you can be trusted. I will give you five days of rest, and then I will give you a new mission. Tell me your legion number and number of people."
Intuition, the accuracy of this mysterious and mysterious word was frighteningly high in this universe. Calgar had used his intuition to accurately find every Genestealer cultist member hiding in the council.
"Astra Militarum Yarkalan 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment, 50,000 people."
Calgar did not even mean to ask more about this unfamiliar organization. Although Zhang Ge knew that this Chapter Master could never fail to remember which Astra Militarum legions were participating in the war, and was even prepared to be questioned, Calgar just said lightly:
"I will provide you with a new batch of equipment according to the standard of a 50,000-man Astra Militarum legion. I will provide you with another batch of supplies before you leave. Someone will tell you about the garrison and other things within these five days. Talk to the people who are working with you if you have other needs. Dismissed."
After dropping these words, Calgar left the ship with the Space Marines without any nostalgia, as if he had never appeared, ending this short conversation.
Leaving only Zhang Ge with a faint speechlessness.
Don't give it, don't give it, I really can't fit it anymore, brother. You can give the weapons and equipment for 50,000 people if you want. Are you wasting military resources like this?
Although he could understand that this was not just a supply, a legion that brought back a Titan must be rewarded to show recognition, but thinking that he was not short of equipment in the first place, and that he had already gotten things after disembarking, and then thinking about the equipment that was about to be sent.
He was a bit overwhelmed by riches. Not to mention 50,000 people, it would be more than enough to expand another 50,000 infantry.
