Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 108 Ordered to take you home.

The environment of the bridge was still the same as when Calvin left last time, but after the fragile tacit understanding between the three of them was completely broken, the atmosphere of the entire bridge returned to the original moment, or worse.

After ignoring the figures of the staff members who were still busy off the stage, Calvin's attention was only on the bright red figure standing in a daze in front of the holographic map.

As Calvin's footsteps approached, Mavi, who was immersed in his own data terminal, and Constantine, who was staring at the map for a long time in silence, both turned around and looked at this man who stood out from the crowd even among the Gray Knights. The figure seemed to be walking slowly but quickly from a distance.

This is a young and charismatic soul, already recognized by his Chapter at such a young age.

The military rank represented by the title of arbitrator cannot be obtained by a rookie who is less than a hundred years old in any Astartes battle group.

What's more, with the gray knight's special combat method, as the commander of the detachment team, the position of arbitrator is often the actual person in charge of a region.

The information and mobilization power that can be accessed by this kind of authority can be compared with the company commanders of some ordinary Astartes battle groups, and may be even higher under special circumstances.

Such a person, at this age, has obtained such a position, which cannot be easily explained by special circumstances.

For such a person, if you still want to use your own experience to lure and deceive him, then after the lion cub recovers, you will surely suffer painful revenge.

Constantine also thought about continuing to insist on his own opinion, but the young Calvin clearly knew his own bottom line, and was not fettered by false favors.

His intention of using the gray knight as a talisman has been seen through, and even if he insists further, he is doomed to get no good results.

After all, the legs grow on other people's bodies. Once the so-called routine is seen through, the initiative has been lost.

The priest finally made the expected compromise, and his old voice came from the hood of his burqa.

"So young arbitrator, as you wish. We are willing to send you and your subordinates to where you want to go first."

After Calvin walked into the bridge, Mavi, who had held his breath waiting for the result, finally relaxed his tense shoulders.

He knew that with Constantine's compromise and concession, the relationship between the two parties would no longer be so rigid.

As the core conflict is resolved, the tense atmosphere between the two will eventually ease.

"Then what is the reply from the fortune teller and the navigator?"

Inquisitor Mavi turned his gaze to the figure standing on the edge of the bridge pedestal—the original mechanical priest Deliza on the black ship.

The latter is also a priest from Mars.

It was also because of this that Priest Constantine, who was clearly at the core of the Mechanicus, began to act as an apprentice and silently retreated to the second line as soon as he boarded the ship.

This is a very smart choice, at least it will not be affected in the first place when the interests of the ship conflict with the Mechanicus.

At this time, the priest, who had been silent for a long time, came out from the edge of the dark bridge under Mawei's gaze:

"Just now, the reply message from the Devil Tribunal has been received. The astropath has received the specific coordinates and informed the navigator. The fortune teller's divination shows that there is no abnormality there. The authorized code chief is sending the arbitrator... "

As his voice fell, Calvin's communication had already sounded a reminder.

On the screen of his helmet's eyepiece, a contact code and a confidentiality authorization code that only he had the authority to decipher were transmitted to his data terminal.

"So what's the next voyage?"

"Send you here first, and then I will go with Father Constantine to the place he and the exploration fleet booked. Do you have any objections to this?" Ma Wei said.

"Let's do it like this." Calvin said after the problem was solved.

Just as everyone on the bridge felt a little relieved for the next course, the navigator in front sent a warning message to the bridge:
"The fluctuations in the subspace are abnormal! Multiple transition points are about to appear! The automatic deceleration program starts! The automatic avoidance program starts!"

The dark red light began to light up on the entire black ship with the sound of the alarm, and everyone who had not yet left the previous negotiations looked at what happened before them in astonishment, a little at a loss.

It was Calvin who reacted in an instant, and the cause and effect of the entire trip were traced back at high speed in his brain, and all possible possibilities of the unexpected situation in front of him were deduced one by one.

At a certain moment, Calvin, who had deduced the worst result, was furious, and he shouted loudly to Mavi who was still in a sluggish state:

"Don't slow down! Don't slow down!"

After seeing the puzzled eyes of the other party, Calvin, who knew the situation was critical but had no time to explain, decisively overstepped Mavi's authority, and directly issued instructions to the staff who were transferred:

"Correct the course! But you must not slow down! In addition, notify the weapon array to charge and prepare! The whole ship is ready for first-level combat!"

However, what responded to him was a silent gaze. Unlike the ships of the Devil Tribunal without specific agreement guarantees, the Gray Knights do not have any emergency command authority.

The speed of the black ship is still decreasing, and it is already approaching the node speed of subspace navigation, and it is sliding down unstoppably.

Father Constantine also reacted at this time, he looked at Ma Wei who was hesitant to speak and said:
"Confirm his order! Otherwise we will die here!"

However, it was too late. In just tens of seconds, within 5 astronomical units directly in front of the black ship, a tearing hole in the subspace had already appeared.

At the same time, behind the black ship, the same subspace breach is being born.

Appearing at the jump point ahead is an Oberon-class forged cruiser painted Martian red.

The opponent locked onto the figure of the black ship as soon as he returned to the real universe.While the weapon array was rapidly recharging, a communication request was also sent to the black ship:

A priest whose face was completely hidden behind the mechanical transformation equipment declared to everyone on the black ship in a cold tone:
“通讯协议代码9-λ-3971-266z3，我舰奉命回收指定物资。锻炉之主3级修士康斯坦汀，请尽快携带指定物资登舰。”

"Forged cruiser from Mars? Here?" Calvin raised his eyebrows and looked at Constantine, but unexpectedly found that the other party did not have any joy.

The appearance of the other party was obviously not within Constantine's expectation, so this cruiser must not be the reinforcement he was looking for.

And at this critical point in time, if there are no friends, then there are only enemies.

How to do?At this moment, Calvin's brain started to work crazily again.

But unfortunately, not all problems can be solved by the ingenuity of one or two people.

For example, when there is an absolute gap between the forces of the two sides, such as now.

Can't fight, can't run.This is the status quo of the black ship.

The only scruples the other party has in maintaining peace now are probably the information that Father Constantine himself knows and the broken STC he is carrying.

Not handing over is a dead end, and if Constantine is handed over under the threat of force, he will not be surprised what the unscrupulous opponent can do next, such as silence.

Desperation spread in Calvin's heart for a moment, but he did not give up.

"Think again, think again. There must be a way..." He walked on the bridge anxiously.

Just as everyone on the bridge was struggling with how to deal with the immediate crisis, the subspace reaction behind the black ship also reached its peak, and a new subspace breach was torn apart.

And what jumped out at this point was the strike cruiser Calvin hadn't seen for a long time.

Like the forged cruiser, the Gray Knight strike cruiser that just jumped out also impatiently sent a communication request to the black ship.

After the signal was connected, the face of Jules, the company commander of the Silver Blade, appeared on the screen.

He warmly greeted the relieved Calvin, and told him why he came:

"After being reminded by the Brotherhood of the Prophet, the Grand Master knows that you have encountered some minor troubles."

With gentle but firm eyes, he told Calvin about his mission for this trip:
"In the name of the emperor, my ship is ordered by Walden, the Supreme Master of the Order of the Hammer, to take you home."
