Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 116 Disputes and Positions

"Who is the person in charge here!"

There was the sound of heavy footsteps approaching the Astartes, approaching rapidly from a distance.

Calvin, who had a keen observation ability and a brain computing power that was so rich that he was free every day, pricked up his ears.

His superhuman sense of hearing calculated the general shape of the comer from the weight, stride length, and stride frequency almost instantly, and the latter's real appearance was almost the same as Calvin's result:

This is a highly mechanized body, except for the torso itself, you can hardly see any human parts.

But unlike the traditional impression of Calvin left by the Mechanicists on Mars, this judge did not have prosthetics with unknown uses or detection equipment that was so rich that it was almost abused.

80% of the body is made of steel, up to two meters high.

In addition, there is no need for feedback equipment, and the ceramic steel armor plate installed directly on the body makes Calvin wonder whether the life in front of him is a human being or the legendary "Iron Man".

"Don't doubt my identity, young arbiter." The other party had obviously noticed Calvin's inquiring gaze, and it wasn't the first time he had explained this issue to someone.

"Let's hurry up, who is the highest person in charge here." He didn't mean to look outside at all, and stood in the center of the bridge instead of customers, looking at everyone present, with the aura of being in charge.

"That's not the point, Inquisitor. Tell us why you're here, and let us hear what circumstances make it worthwhile for you to break our own conventions," Tibers said.

"Okay." He shrugged.Then said:

"I need your support! This means whether I can save the fate of a planet or even the fate of tens of billions of citizens of the human empire in the region.

And you must support me to end this farce here, before it ferments into a real disaster..."

The demon judge Rhine Hoffmann began to tell people about his experience:
It's not a war, or rather it's just a dispute over the end of a major war.

Below Hollison V is connected to a distant and remote galaxy, the Feldman Galaxy, a small galaxy consisting of mining worlds and wasteland worlds.

There just emerged from a conspiracy based on chaos under cover of warp storms.

The power from the Lord of Change has been lurking there as early as a hundred years ago.

When the subspace storm began to rage and blocked the only way for this galaxy to communicate with the outside world, which was also the channel leading to the Hollison galaxy, the governor of the mining world, under the persuasion of a local local church faction named "Hope", began A construction of planetary defense weapons, or a ceremony, was held.

They built numerous minarets around the Hive City, invoking the Emperor's protection. (The number later found to be 99.)
Sheltered by countless spiers, they struggled to survive for ninety-nine years, harassed by the Warp and the occasional daemons that sprang from it.

During the long torment, they held fast to their beliefs and maintained the Empire's rule over the planet, until the warp storms began to dissipate.

However, this incident has been a plot of the tampering lord from the beginning.

On the day when the storm finally dissipated, humans on all planets were celebrating the end of the long suffering and cheering for the arrival of hope, and the ceremony dedicated to Tzeentch was finally completed.

The emotions and fates of all the creatures on the entire planet completely pleased the Lord of Distortion, and as a reward, he turned them all into his demons—the Horror—at the moment when the emotions of hope condensed the highest.

This is an inhuman scene seen in orbit after the subspace storm ended and the Star Guard stationed in another barbaric world arrived.

The whole hive was in that instant, infused with the flames of the Horrors that filled it, so much so that the pink and blue flames could be seen from orbit.

Billions of souls were sacrificed to the god of Chaos at this point in time by the false cult called "Hope".

The howls of their souls echoed layer after layer, making even the Star Guards guarding the orbit feel terrified.

The Devil Tribunal knew of the disaster here for the first time, and they sent the nearest judge, Rhine Hoffman, to deal with the incident here.

Dozens of warships from the star search area defense fleet were dispatched here to guard and wait for the next order.

The local troops of the millions of Astra Militia, which is several times larger than the former, were also transported from the barbaric world next door to the orbit to stand by.

Led by the fastest arriving Astartes warband, the Knights of Goliath, and authorized by Inquisitor Rhine Hoffmann, they carried out a large-scale cleansing of the entire planet's surface.

First, after the Star Defense Fleet was synchronized in orbit, they used a rain of light spears to attack the hive for a whole month.

Then millions of Astra Militarum and an equal number of Defenders were released to the surface.

Under the leadership of the Astartes from the Goliath Knights, they carried out a sweeping sweep of all spaces outside the hive.

The battle has been going well so far, until the arrival of another Inquisitor.

Errante Redwine, a high-ranking demon judge who also came from the Demon Tribunal, arrived here a week before Calvin and others arrived.

With him came a whole company of the Chapter Astartes known as the Malevolent Warriors.

After their arrival, they did not participate in the sweeping campaign that had been carried out to the end.

Instead, they headed straight for the general headquarters on the track where only the judge himself was left behind.

Apparently, the high-ranking Inquisitor, known for his hawkish stance within the Inquisition, had another mission.

After the opponent arrived at the headquarters, he directly asked Rein Hoffmann, or ordered the opponent to hand over the supreme command of the theater.

After being rejected as a matter of course, he, as a high-level special envoy of the Tribunal, forcibly took away the power that originally belonged to Rhine Hoffman.

The matter is not over yet, and Erlanti, who has gained power, does not say anything about the battle on the ground.

He is extremely indifferent to these heroic mortal troops, and he even treats these imperial loyalists from the barbaric world with cruelty.

With the backing of his band of malevolent warriors, the daemonic inquisitor has even prepared what will happen to these mortal forces when the battle is over - a medium plague bomb of the next level to Extermination Order and an attack from the malevolent warriors. track hit.

This is unacceptable to both Rhine Hoffmann and the Graia Knights.

From Rhine's point of view, he couldn't accept that these warriors who came here to fight for the empire under his promise could only end up like this;
From the point of view of the Graia Knights, they, who bear the blood of Sanguinius, cannot accept that the empire treats loyal people so coldly.

Both parties hold their own ideas and positions, and there is no room for compromise.

For four days a violent quarrel had raged between the two Inquisitors and the two Astartes Captains in orbit.

The conflict is on the verge of breaking out, and there is only a thin line between the conflict of words and the confrontation of force.

With the ground forces already deployed, the two companies of the Goliath battle group are scattered across the entire surface of the planet, and they can't even assemble. It is even more impossible to resist the threat of orbital strikes from malicious fighters and the deterrence of warships. Sexual repression.

Judge Rhine, who is in a hurry, urgently needs a new force to enter the arena to rebalance the power balance between the two sides.So that the war gears that have begun to loosen quickly stop their dangerous steps.

This is what the Gray Knights will face.

"How? It's not a battle, no damage. It's just as a support to eliminate an internal friction between the warriors of the empire that shouldn't happen." You will never refuse my offer? "

After explaining the specific situation in one breath, the irritable middle-aged man looked at the gray knights present expectantly.

The gray knights present were also thinking about the pros and cons after listening to the judge's narration, and the relationship of this matter to their philosophy.

Only Calvin's thinking was very quick, and he suddenly looked at Tibers as if he remembered something.

"I said, this warband of malicious warriors. Does that sound familiar?"

　The first watch, the old rules, the second watch later.Ask for a ticket.
