Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 128 Sentencing
"Are you guilty?"

These were the first words Calvin uttered to Erlante when they were actually face to face.

What responded to him was the silence of the other party.

Since death is inevitable, Erlanti, who has recognized the reality, refuses any kind of interrogation.

As he thought, in his and their philosophy: no one but the Emperor is qualified to judge them.

"You are guilty!" During the loud questioning, Calvin picked Erlanti up and dragged him to the porthole of the bridge like a rag.

From here, one can clearly see the pollution clouds with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers formed by the deflagration flames on the buildings that suffered the first round of blows on the surface.

Black dust and unburned poisonous gas are flying wantonly in it.

Just from its scale, we can know how many innocent souls died in this blow.

"Look at you and your masterpieces. These are the treasures of the emperor, but you are trying to use them in exchange for your own authority."

Calvin who stood behind him said so after throwing Erlanty under the huge bulletproof glass of the porthole.

Erlanti, on the other hand, stared blankly at the smoke cloud in the distance under his feet, and repeatedly asked whether his actions were just in his inner panic.

Then, obsessed with self-hypnosis and self-moving, he found the last anchor in his paranoia and thoughts:

"There's never been a victory without bloodshed, there's never been a victory without sacrifice. I've done it all for..."

Erlanti, who hadn't finished speaking, was suddenly kicked out by the furious Calvin, and the blood flowing out of his mouth like a waterfall blocked his voice.

But Calvin did not, and his voice carried the question from his soul to Erlante:

"Blood and sacrifice? Then why is it not your blood shed, and your life not sacrificed? I have never seen a person who can whitewash his desire for power so sincerely! Look straight into my eyes! How dare you say that? Are you doing this for the Empire? For the Emperor?"

"I..." The corners of his mouth muttered, and after Calvin's soul-piercing interrogation, he finally woke up from the long self-movement.

Facing the wreckage on the surface, it was really hard for him to convince himself that this plan by him and his colleagues was purely for the empire and mankind.

"Loyalty is not absolute, that is, absolute disloyalty."

Such a proverb flashed across his mind suddenly, and he raised his head, just in time to see Calvin taking the sharp sword handed up by the gray knight behind him, and raising it high towards him.

"In the name of the Emperor, accept your judgment, sinner!"

With a flash of sword light, Erlanti's head flew up, and his consciousness fell into permanent darkness.

This sinner who has gone astray in his desire for power for too long is finally paying the price for his actions here.

With the battle on the bridge over, command of the Heart of Honor has been completely taken over by the Gray Knights.

The battle in the direction of the engine room went equally well.

Taric and his squad also accomplished their stated objective in a short amount of time, driving the malevolent fighters out of the engine room's periphery.

The battle in the direction of the weapon array encountered a little accident.

After clearing out the remnants of the resistance in the weapon array, the Golden team unexpectedly encountered the enemy at the end of the passage leading to the bow.

And the enemy they encountered was Augustine, who just managed to make a suit of wearable power armor from two malicious fighters.

Frontal combat is different from a prepared surprise attack. The moment he met the Gray Knights, Augustine was suppressed by the oncoming bullets and fled in embarrassment.

The unscrupulous firepower suppression and the Terminator's unreasonable surprise charge made Augustine even have no chance to speak.

It wasn't until he desperately withdrew more than a hundred meters in one breath that the two sides in the war had a chance to think about each other's anomalies.

"Huh? Elite malicious fighters? It's said in the data that the sub-group of the World Eaters still has this fighting style?"

Gordon subconsciously felt the opponent's unusualness, such a flexible posture and efficient use of bunkers and blind spots.

It cannot be said to be exactly the same as the combat style of the malicious fighters they have seen before, it can only be said to be the opposite.

On the other side, Augustine was also panting violently behind a heavy load-bearing wall.

"Bah bah bah! What the hell!"

Augustine, whose helmet was blown off, spit out the dust sucked in his mouth.

This short but fierce confrontation made him lose the confidence and optimism he had before.

The uninterrupted fire suppression and close combat positions with no dead ends brought about by the high tacit understanding of this group of gray knights made him completely lose the chic and comfortable way of breaking into the enemy group alone in the past.

Attempts to continuously change positions to pull the loopholes in positions were contained in the first place.

Even if he hadn't reacted quickly and noticed the trap behind the other party's connivance with him, he would have almost blocked his way to retreat.

He felt that what he was facing was definitely not an ordinary malicious fighter. Even if he had seen the veterans of the first company far away in Baal's mother regiment, he had never given him such a sense of powerlessness that he had no chance to reach out.

And it wasn't until then that he suddenly remembered the abnormality of the opponent's armor painting.

This is not a malicious fighter!
Then the opponent's previous cleaning of the weapon array shows that this is another group of Astartes.

And their position is that of the friendly army!
"It's so stupid!"

He slapped himself lightly, then shouted loudly.

"I surrender!"

Under the watchful eyes of the gray knights, the figure of Augustine came out from behind the bunker...

The battle on the Heart of Honor has come to an end, and the most intense part has finally come to an end.

The Gray Knights completed their combat objectives. Under the principle of focusing on expulsion and supplementing killing, they completely occupied and controlled all the key parts of the Heart of Honor.

At this time, the remaining malicious fighters finally temporarily obtained a precious respite, quietly licking their wounds in a corner of the black ship.

The advantage of Calvin's communication with other teams is reflected here, which is much higher than the normal communication efficiency. After he immediately confirmed that the occupation is effective, he publicly issued a victory declaration to the whole ship through the broadcast of the black ship.

After announcing the deaths of Uttas and the judge, in the name of the Holy Hammer Order, he ordered the surviving malicious fighters to immediately lay down their weapons and accept control.

At the same time, under the feedback from Calvin and others, all the personnel on the Revenant Redeemer finally breathed a sigh of relief. The weapon arrays that were all in the firing state also released the sights of the aiming equipment from the locked state.

The star navy in the galaxy began to send rescue troops to the ground under the command of Captain Yule.

Calvin and others on the Heart of Honor, also guided by the information of the Revenant Redeemer, took Augustine, who claimed to be the champion of the Goliath Chapter, to the cell to rescue their company commander Christen.

After a noisy and lively day, the tranquility was finally restored after a short and fierce battle.

The chaos on Feldman 4 has finally returned to the order of the Empire.
