Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 186 New arrival, misplaced time.

Thoughts every day: We may not know each other when we meet each other.

"Then what, whose father?"

After appearing abruptly, Calvin subconsciously asked the source of the voice.

It's a pity that his question is destined to be unanswered, and all he gets in return is the rain of bolts from the surrounding Chaos Space Marines as a response.

At the same time, Adelano, who felt abnormal from his huge size and the shield he propped up casually, stopped advancing and retreated amidst the shouts of killing, and looked in Calvin's direction with a serious face.

The instinctive sense of crisis was so stinging that it made its muscles straighten, and even the scales on its neck stood up.

"No! This human has a problem!"

It decisively decided to sell these allies to test Calvin's quality.After I retreated to a fairly safe distance, I made cautious observations.

This prudence undoubtedly prolongs its life.

Because the following scenes prove that its instinct is effective, and it will not die for no reason like those low-level servants.

The spiritual energy shield propped up with one hand blocked nearly a hundred explosive bombs from the two teams, and Calvin didn't even take a step back.

Calvin calmly looked at the group of Astartes charging and shooting at him.

It wasn't until the densely suspended warheads in front of him began to block his vision that he waved them and imploded them continuously, crushing them into a mass of crimson metal.

After disposing of these warheads, the first batch of Astartes fighters rushed in front of them.

It was only at this time that these guys who had been dazzled by hormones realized Calvin's burly figure belatedly.

"Gene origin..."

In the pupils of the chief sergeant major who constricted in fear, Calvin's hand extended to him became bigger and bigger.And the word in his mouth is forever stuck in his throat...

puff!
The inhuman agility made Calvin ignore the opponent's moves, and directly reached out through the gap between the sergeant major's sword and his hand, crushing his head and the helmet inlaid with purple gems.

After wiping the breastplate casually, he lifted the sergeant major's neck guard with his backhand, and at the moment when the latecomers had no time to react, he threw out the nearly ton-heavy body as a weapon.

Under the impact of the huge force carried by the corpse, the two latecomers flew back with the corpse. Judging from their collapsed breastplates, it was already very ominous.

"Master Adrano! Please help..." The traitor who had reacted called for help to Adrano who was still watching the battle.

But this Khorne demon who was still showing off his power just now didn't realize it, like a bronze sculpture, it still stood firmly in place no matter how loudly he called.

Adelano is certainly not in a daze.

It has shrunk into a vertical slit in the eyes of the beast, and witnessed how Calvin turned into a white ghost, shuttled through the crowd, tore apart the armor of these apostates who could not even catch his shadow, and then smashed them through the steel life strangled.

In a few breaths, the Astartes squad of twelve was easily butchered.

If it weren't for the ceramite fragments scattered around and the Legion marks on them, you can't even imagine their existence.

Today's Calvin is different from the past. After his body evolved once in the device left by the dead spirits in the stars, it has reached 40% of the strength of the holy blood cells.

What is this concept?

Taking the emperor as the benchmark, the theoretical value exceeds 30%, and the absolute power is doubled.

Then his pure physical strength at this time has already reached a little over one-eighth of the lower limit of the emperor himself.

This kind of physical strength, if placed in the era of the Great Expedition where all heroes came together.It is estimated that Calvin can replace a certain Primarch who is obsessed with "sending" and become the weakest of the Primarchs—the Shame of the Primarch for short.

But in today's Milky Way, Calvin is a well-deserved demigod walking in the world!
But that's not enough to deter a Khorne daemon!
The real reason for Adelano to stay where he is is not his seemingly destructive physical strength, but the psychic power that Calvin didn't use all the time.

Yes, Calvin, who had just arrived, didn't want to make too much noise, so he chose simple but bloody physical extinction.But this does not prevent him from using psionic power as a threat to deter the actions of the big demon.

He was like a big cat, while showing off his killing skills in front of a highly nervous mouse, he did not forget to warn the other party with his eyes that he was watching it all the time.

The killing was over, but Adrano still held the giant sword in his hand and did not move.It clearly knew that the battle just now seemed intense, but it was actually no different from fighting.

As long as it dares to make a slight move, the opponent will immediately tear through the space and appear above its head, and then kill it with a lightning strike that has already been prepared.

But it doesn't matter if it doesn't move, the battle is over, and there is not much time left for it.If he was beaten back to his hometown in subspace like this, he would never even think about raising his head in front of his colleagues in the future.

move!Must move!To die is to die in battle!
Thinking of Adelano here, he finally got rid of Calvin's psychological suggestion.

It forcibly broke through Calvin's suppression, and after spitting out blood laced with brimstone, the projection of Khorne finally found himself.

"Praise my God, the Lord of War! Praise my Lord, the God of Blood Slaughter! Blood sacrifice to the Blood God! Skull Sacrifice!"

Amid the wild laughter restored, the horns on Adrano's head and the ring-headed giant sword in his hand pointed to the sky again, and then launched a mortal charge against Calvin!
hum!
Calvin didn't fight the big demon immediately, but broke through the space and appeared in front of the still sluggish Talos.

He reached out and snatched the two-handed sword from Talos' hand, and then held a sword flower with one hand.

The heavy broadsword is both thick and wide, and the steel with exquisite casting technology is crystal clear and fine. It is the pinnacle of technology in the era of the Great Crusade, and it is also the standard equipment for officers of the Shadow Moon Wolf.

Except for the mark in the center of the jaw being deliberately erased, the rest of the details are exactly the same.

"Good sword!" Calvin exclaimed loudly.

Then, in Talos' puzzled expression, he did not activate the decomposition force field on the sword.Just attach spiritual energy to it, and let the big sword be immersed in raging spiritual flames.

Then, with Talos' frightened expression on his face, he turned around and slashed at the great sword attacked by the great demon Adrano!
boom!
Between the flying Adrano and Calvin standing still, the terrifying blood-colored spiritual energy collided head-on with the platinum-gold power of order!

The huge shock wave was like a ring, spreading around the two of them, and the surrounding building wreckage was also ravaged again under such shock.

Talos, who was one step away, was saved by Calvin's psychic energy, but the weightlessness and dizziness still made him retch.

Blood flowed from his ears unstoppably from his fingers, making it difficult for this Astartes warrior, who was known for his strength among his peers, to maintain his balance, and could only crouch on the ground in pain.

He closed his eyes and crawled towards the low wall behind him to avoid the aftermath.But when he groped for the bricks and tiles of the low wall, the expected impact never came.

"Your sword, soldier. It's all right, open your eyes."

After Calvin crushed Adrano's power head-on and wiped it out completely, he said to the Astartes behind him.

The psychic voice directly entered Talos's mind, making him subconsciously follow Calvin's will.

But in his field of vision, there was no trace of the big demon just now, only a pile of burning embers in front of Calvin still slowly smoking.

"It's over...fuck it!" He subconsciously turned to the mysterious figure beside him, but Calvin's face turned pale with shock when he saw Calvin's face.

Isn't this the gray knight I met on the battlefield of the unnamed planet ruins?

Why is he here?How could he confront the big demon head-on?

wrong!Why does he smell different!How did he grow taller again!

This body type!This feeling!
Talos almost thought that his nerves had been damaged, otherwise how could he think that this being who was the same height and felt the same as the Primarch was a Gene Primarch?
wrong!He shook his head, letting the wound in his ear canal stimulate his mind again with sharp pain.

He pushed aside his ridiculous logic and forced himself to focus on the most critical issues first.

Whatever the reason, and whatever he is!It must not be known that he previously fought with the Warband of Chaos!

If the executioner of this tribunal knew that he had committed himself to chaos, he would be killed by Calvin without any chance of sophistry, just like the pile of ashes under Calvin's feet.

"You don't seem to be in good condition, soldier. Do you need my help?" Calvin said softly, looking at the Astartes with a mature face in front of him.

He urgently needs to know when and where he is now after going through time travel.

And this strange death watch in front of him is his only clue.

"I'm fine, my lord. If you have anything to ask, please do so as soon as possible. This used to be our salient, but the flanks have been lost, and there is little point in our staying here."

Talos subconsciously responded to Calvin, he instinctively skipped the identification process and put Calvin in the position of the superior.

He made up his mind to leave as soon as the battle was over.Whether he wins or loses, he is fulfilling his duty.

Now he has no faith, and he doesn't care about anyone except his old brothers.

"Let's go, soldier. We'll talk about it on the way." Calvin remained expressionless, and temporarily put down these details.

His top priority now is to confirm his location, and then know which war zone he is in.

The abnormal performance of this death watch is not in the priority sequence in his heart.

"Obey!" Talos bowed his head in response, he turned around and picked up his helmet from the ground and put it on, avoiding looking directly at Calvin as much as possible.

Although he knew that he had not revealed his appearance in front of Calvin, he still minimized the exposure of his details as much as possible just in case.

The two of them passed through a large area of ​​broken bricks and tiles, and walked out from the ruins.

Along the way, Talos picked and picked from the dead Chaos Star Warriors, and kept the available ammunition in his waist.

It was a habit left over from his first years as a Renegade.

Without the steady supply of the Empire, they are a miserable bunch of wanderers.

In the days when even a glass of clean water needed to be grabbed, Talos, like a bereaved dog, spared no resources that could be replenished in order to survive.

Calvin didn't stop him, but just watched Talos' every move with interest.

This unfamiliar death watch gave him a strange sense of familiarity.But he was sure that there was indeed no trace of this person in his memory.

"Soldier, your name." Calvin asked.

"Taros, you can call me that."

After putting away the last bomb, Talos said as he pulled out a monomolecular dagger from the corpse.

As he walked towards Calvin, he inserted the dagger into the scabbard on the side of his thigh.

His own one had been lost before, and although this one is not as good as his collection, he had to make do with it.

"Your history... oh, sorry. I forgot you were a Black Shield."

Halfway through Calvin's words, he belatedly found the characteristics of a black shield from the pure black on Talos' shoulder armor.

"It's okay, my lord. You can ask anything except this." Talos whispered.

"Well, I respect your privacy. So what time is it and where are we?"

Calvin followed suit and asked the questions he cared about most.

"You don't know?" Now it was Talos' turn to be surprised.

He expected that Calvin might ask about the location here, but he didn't expect that the other party couldn't even confirm the time.

"There is no concept of time in the subspace. After I come out, I need to confirm again."

Calvin was talking nonsense solemnly, as if his arrival had really been the product of a teleportation accident.

"Understood, my lord! The current time is 753.M39 in the Imperial Calendar, and this is the outskirts of the Orpheus sector and the edge of the Leyak sector. We are now fighting in the occupied area."

Talos' voice was like a flash of lightning, which surprised and rejoiced Calvin.

He was surprised that he deviated so far from his original position, crossed more than half of the star area to the rear of the enemy-occupied area; he was also surprised that it had been ten years since he went back and forth.

But fortunately, at least he did not completely escape from this crucial battle.

Ten years is enough to change too many things, but for a sector-level campaign, it is only an intermission.

"There are still resistance forces here?"

Calvin broke away from his own thoughts and continued following the topic just now.

Ten years had passed since he left Orpheus, and Leyak's fall was even before that.

He was amazed at the tenacity of the local resisters, and was also curious how the local people persisted in the fire of resistance under the pressure of the army of chaos.

"Of course! The loyal people of the empire have never given up." Talos said something that made his teeth gnaw.

Especially the word "loyalty" is so ironic in his own opinion.

To avoid misunderstanding, Calvin added:
"But there are not as many as you might imagine. Most of the locals have been captured and used as slaves. Most of the existing resisters, like me, came from external support before the fall."

"Understood. So where are we going now?" Calvin expressed his understanding, and asked Talos who was leading the way.

"Gabriel, my lord. It used to be a secret outpost of the local defense force, and it was also our previous camp. I want to go back and see how many people come back alive, and then decide where to go."

　Two in one, update and ask for tickets.
