Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 188 Confirmation of identity and command authority

The reactions of Aidan and Yule are not listed for the time being.

But at this time, Calvin, who was hundreds of millions of kilometers away, was being surrounded by several Astartes warriors in Yule's words.

But it's different from Yule's worry about the danger of being encircled and suppressed.

At this time, Calvin was sitting among several friendly Astartes who were dressed in all kinds of clothes, from Mark IV to Mark VII, and mixed and matched different models of power armor.

He is now around a warm campfire, listening to the stories of these warriors from different chapters.

"We were the first to come... about 50 years ago, we had already responded to the call of the Religious Order and participated in the battle here. After the last airborne 30 years ago, we lost contact with the mothership."

said an Astartes warrior in bone-white shoulder armor emblazoned with flaming skulls.

Calvin didn't have bloodlines from the markings on his body, but from the iconic pale blue on the main body of his scarred power armor and the golden wings on his chest, it can be known that he is a descendant of Guilliman.

"The name of your regiment?" he asked the warrior gently.

Under the firelight, he was still dressed in white, but even when he was sitting, he was taller than the surrounding figures, which made him feel awed by many passing mortals, and at the same time made these Astartes wander even more.

"Angel of the Dead," said the Astartes warrior in a deep voice.

"Where is the mother planet?" He asked in a calm tone.

"...still on the base ship."

Understood, Calvin nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to the next soldier.There are only two meanings of the base ship:

One is those battle groups with profound foundations but special missions.They voluntarily gave up their home planet with favorable conditions, and used expeditions as their entire service career, so as to better contribute value to the emperor.

Second, the one in front of you is not a start-up battle group or a special mission.They simply formed the group too late, and without the care of special policies, they are still looking for a planet to take them in.

"What about you? Excellent twilight stalker, where are you from?"

Calvin looked at another Astartes warrior painted in gray and black, staring thoughtfully at the extra cushioning device in the gap of his power armor.

After hearing Calvin's words, the latter turned his head and looked directly at Calvin for a long time before replying with a seemingly unfamiliar accent:

"My name is Valk. A little later than them, from the Revilers."

Oh, a son of Corax, no wonder he is not good at words...

Thinking this way, Calvin nodded to him, then looked past Talos, who was directly opposite, to the place farthest from the fire.

It was the darkest place, not suitable for warming up by the fire, but it was the most suitable place to observe Calvin's position.

In that corner, on a stool transformed from a tree stump, a lady in a black robe was patrolling Calvin with scrutiny and hostility.

The war robe she was wearing hadn't been washed for a long time, the black outer cover was covered with dust, and the white inner lining had also been burnt yellow by the flames of war.

The bolter on her belt was in good condition, and the chainsword at her feet was bloody.

Compared with these rough details, the white cross on her chest is the most conspicuous.

The medal has clearly received special treatment, and it still shines brightly under the meticulous care of its owner, maintaining its original luster.

Perhaps feeling offended, Calvin met the gaze of this clearly hostile lady, and said with a little playfulness:

"Oh, Lady of Courageous Heart, noble Battle Sister, Supreme Armor of the Religion of the Empire, of the Emperor..."

"daughter!"

Before Calvin could finish speaking, the lady interrupted him directly.Then, furiously, in the eyes of everyone who had no time to react, he raised the bolt gun at hand, opened the insurance and aimed at Calvin and said:
"Compared to us, I think it is more necessary for you to clarify your origins! You are unarmed and appear so freely in the chaotic war zone. I have not announced your death sentence in the first place. kindness!"

"The Emperor's Blessing!" Talos covered his head, as if he could already see the fate of this overly upright battle nun.

The guy in front of him is a hand-torn pottery steel of real value, an Astarte at the level of a group destroying unit; a ruthless man who slays a demon with his sword, and burns the projection of Khorne to ashes!
The most important thing is his identity!Talos had lost his focus on fighting since the battlefield had come all the way here.

Having regained most of his sanity, he looked at Calvin's body and the somewhat familiar smell on him, and already had a vague premonition of Calvin's identity.

He didn't dare to accept this fact by himself, so he brought Calvin back to the outpost impatiently.

And it wasn't until just now that the Astartes from different backgrounds confirmed Calvin's feeling in their tacit and silent eyes...

But he waited for a long time and still didn't hear any sound.

It wasn't until he couldn't help but put his hand down that he saw Calvin still sitting firmly in his seat with an unabated smile on his face.

And the nun continued to point at him with the fire stick in her hand, glaring.

"Stop!" He quickly got up and stood between the two to block the "provocation" of the Battle Sister, then turned to look at Calvin and begged for his forgiveness.

Yes, anyone who has watched Calvin's battle will understand that this weapon is only worthy of being called a provocation for him...

"My name is Calvin, a high-ranking Gray Knight of the Order of the Holy Hammer." Calvin told his origin, which was an explanation to everyone present.

But that battle nun was clearly enraged, and Calvin's previous words touched her taboo, which made her still hold on to Calvin:

"Evidence! No evidence! Your words are still powerless!"

"Evidence?" Calvin smiled wryly and shook his head:

Whatever he was afraid of, all his original outfits were left in the center of the twin stars, but he couldn't take any of them away.He is really having a hard time asking him to take out any tokens at this time and place.

Have!Calvin turned his eyes and thought of something.

He said to the lady who was still angry: "There are no tokens, but there are testimonies! According to the internal data of the Holy Hammer Order, in the case of the Supreme Lord Van Dier, you had sent envoys of the Imperial Army before entering the palace. fire..."

"Stop! I admit your identity!"

Under the staring eyes of all the Astartes, Battle Sister Lightspeed stopped Calvin's words.The further leakage of the information of the exempt order will cause more losses.

Apart from themselves, these secrets of the past are only known to the defenders inside the royal city.

Among the many forces in the royal city who can freely enter and exit, except for the guards of the imperial guards, only the Gray Knights.

The person in front of him can be recognized by Talos, and he can still cherish this past.Then his identity has been more than half confirmed.

As for the rest, for these precarious people behind enemy lines, it is too extravagant to ask.

She had already believed in the identity of the person in front of her, and decided to include it in the subsequent battle coordination sequence.

But as a mortal, she is still different from the Astartes.

She is doomed not to participate in these groups that once occupied the core power of the empire, so she has no way of understanding their culture and its secrets.

The fighting nun who just woke up from her anger thought she just had an extra comrade in arms.

But what she didn't and couldn't notice was that since Calvin entered this outpost, the atmosphere here had changed.

The conversation around the bonfire just now was not so much a self-introduction by Calvin as a newcomer, but a confirmation of his identity.

All the Astartes here have silently handed over the decision-making power of command when she was completely unaware.

In her surprised eyes, Calvin stood up.

He did not have the temptation and self-consciousness of a newcomer at all, but directly said to everyone present in the tone of the master:

"So from now on, there is only one thing we have to do. Do everything possible to find a way to communicate across the star area, and then inform the star area government of our existence!"

Then, under her even more surprised eyes, these Asat warriors, who were extremely proud in the past and did not belong to each other, actually stood up straight now in tacit understanding, and responded to Calvin's call with a loud voice. Order:

"God Emperor bless you! We obey your will!"

　Second update, I'm so awesome.Ask for a ticket.
