Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 228 Another return and a dark omen

The battle in the northern theater was like a sharp sword firmly behind Orpheus's back, and it firmly attracted the attention of the entire Orpheus in the early stages of the incident.

Although the people of this sector have been born in the flames of war for two generations, like the citizens of other war zones of the Empire, they have long been accustomed to the news of the war.

But the significance of the northern theater is still too important, so that anyone who knows the geography of the Orpheus star region will inevitably be full of worries about the battle of the Chaos fleet.

There is no other reason. As the last line of defense in the north of the Orpheus star region, the Geinkatyn galaxy really has no room for error.

Fortunately, the time from the start to the end of the war was much shorter than imagined, so that the hearts of the people in the star area did not even have time to be turbulent;

Fortunately, the presence of Calvin caused the people to have unrealistic fantasies about the Krieger fleet sailing straight to the north while worrying.

All in all, whatever the reason, when the news of the victory from the north spread like sparks throughout Orpheus, the entire sector jumped and cheered.

Everyone has seen how the Northern Fleet has struggled in the past ten years;
It was also when this army, which had not had much expectation in the first place, took the lead in bringing victory back to Orpheus, the people of the entire star region would be more grateful to them.

So far, one of the two thorns straddling the hearts of the Orphic people has been completely pulled out;
On the other side, the main force of the large star fleet is naturally expected to be more expected at this time.

But the chief executive of the Grand Fleet didn't think so. He was well aware of the situation of the Northern Fleet, and he was extremely lucky to be able to keep the enemy out of the star area.

As for wanting to wipe out the entire Chaos fleet, that would be an absurd joke like the Arabian Nights.

In his opinion, this victory is definitely the work of external forces

It's just that he is so devastated that he no longer has the energy to understand who is responsible for this big show.

Yes, at this time, Admiral Juan, the admiral of the Orpheus space fleet, is in great trouble.

Just a few days ago, after the Krieger fleet left the capital of the sector, Amara.

The high-level personnel in the star area produced a huge shock in a short period of time.

First of all, Margarita, a high-ranking judge of the Tribunal of Alien Tribunal/Waiting, died suddenly in his mansion without any warning before and after.

The Inquisition in the star sector has lost its loudest voice and is falling into leaderless chaos.

And just one day later, Sir Harold, the head snake of Orpheus and the new governor of the Orpheus sector, also lost his mind and fell into madness.

The patriarch of the Ondan family is now in a state of insanity, and apart from the words "Banquet of flesh and blood" that can be heard repeatedly from his mouth, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Star Region has nothing to gain.

At the beginning, Juan didn't care about it. After all, the sudden death may have been assassinated by a political opponent, but the possibility of natural death cannot be ruled out either;

But when Sir Harold also had problems next time, Juan couldn't sit still at all.

Two of the leaders of the three largest political forces had security concerns in a short period of time.

This can hardly be regarded as a coincidence, but since it is not a coincidence, then according to the political instinct of "whoever benefits, who is suspected":

The middle-level bureaucrats and local forces in the entire star area immediately looked in Juan's direction.

The Admiral of the Navy Fleet, Admiral Juan of the Empire was speechless, fidgeting, and unable to explain.

He can understand such gazes very well, even if he is not the only survivor of the Big Three, he himself has reason to doubt himself.

But the current situation is that this matter really has nothing to do with him;
And he is also being forced to bear the political price of "assassinating his colleagues" that he cannot afford.

The expected collapse and disintegration of the other two forces without a leader did not appear.

Juan and his naval officers were surprised and disturbed to find:

On the contrary, because of the accidental death of the two big figures, the political environment inside the star area produced a kind of strange unity against him.

The situation has gotten completely out of control by now.

Juan didn't dare to take any action to incur more doubts and blows;

They also dare not sit idly by and let certain undercurrents continue to brew and surge.

He and his naval officers are caught in a dilemma, unable to extricate themselves, let alone save themselves.

Just at this time, news of the victory in the northern theater came from the front.

So amidst the eerie silence of the middle and high-level people in the star area, the unknowing citizens of the empire at the bottom ushered in the celebration of the victory in the northern theater.

This oppressive news saved General Juan's political life in a sense.

But this did not come from the intelligence itself, but after being promptly reminded by the authorities in the Storm Star Region, Juan finally found the existence of the Krieger fleet and the authorized imprint of their armed expedition in the attached remarks list of the good news .

A high-ranking lord judge of the Tribunal, a representative of the joint meeting of the Trial Chamber of the High Lords Council of the Empire, and a high-ranking member of the Order of the Hammer.

When this series of titles that can be called both power and force are gathered on one person, and this lord is in Orpheus;

Juan swore whoever he was, and whatever he might bring to future Orpheus.

At this time, he is willing to offer his loyalty to this lord, and then hand over all the rights in his hands to prove his innocence.

In fact, he did the same, but this action caused him to have countless dreams in the middle of the night, thinking about what his fate would have been without this experience...

But this has nothing to do with reality. Ten days later, the capital world of the Orpheus sector, Amara, is home to the victorious army from the northern frontline battlefield.

After decades of combat, the sailors desperately needed a grand ceremony to honor their bravery and loyalty.

This is especially true for the soldiers and sailors at the bottom. The spirits and girls in the capital world Starport are their best comfort.

The young people after the big victory will write countless stories here; maybe it is about love, maybe it is about money.

But no one of the nobles in the star area cares about this.

At this time, they were waiting anxiously and fearfully for the reception of the big man on the silver-gray battleship on the star port of Amara that towered into the sky and reached the orbit.

But what they didn't know was that the lord who theoretically stood at the top of the empire's power sequence had fought here more than ten years ago.

This lord knows Orpheus very well, and he is very disgusted with the power disputes in the star area. '

When the man returned to Orpheus, surrounded by thousands of Astartes warriors.

Waiting for the local nobles and local forces here will never be a gentle face.

　Second watch, ask for tickets, later, there will be another watch.
