Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 404 Echoes of Courage and Loyalty ([-]) A Closer Chance

"I won't...surrender to you!" Appius roared in a low voice, just like when he first encountered this demon back then.

The sacrifice of his comrade-in-arms gave him a chance to survive, but it was also seeing the death of those brothers who had been with him day and night, which made revenge the whole meaning of supporting the rest of his life.

He is still living in his dream, in the dream he is still biting and entangled with the enemy day and night in order to return to that battlefield.

But at this moment, he and the demon are like twins with two sides in one body. Since he released the demon from the cage, the balance between their souls can no longer maintain a false balance. balance……

The priest who originally belonged to the third company of the Sons of Guilliman was still roaring at the demon, but he may not have noticed that as the demon was freed, the blue and black magic lines representing the curse and favor of chaos had already appeared on his face Wanton extension.

Corrupt?Or freeze... Calvin suddenly realized something when he saw the chaotic, distorted and desperate atmosphere on Appius.

What is the fall?It is a soul that gives up its own reason and hope, and entrusts all of itself to hatred.

"Is it important? It's not important! You don't need to give in to me! You just need to be true to your own desires, and that's all I need..." The demon whispered to Appius about the relationship between them. s story.

And as the devil's laughter turned from low to high, its body made of shadows also swelled in place, completely breaking free from the translucent devil's egg, and the original height of more than two meters soared to 5 meters in a few breaths more than enough.

Blue-gray and translucent scales wrap its transparent and dark body, and the ferocious long horns on the top of the head echo the snake tail spreading under the waist.Four thick arms extended from his broad shoulders and waist, and exquisite and sharp claws like black crystals extended and bent on six long and narrow fingers.

Gold and blue are intertwined on the ornate metal armor, from its long snake-like tail to the crown on the top of its head.

Different from those demons that Calvin had seen that were full of changes and twists, the demon that appeared in front of Calvin, whether it was the horns on his head or the magic patterns on his body, showed a strange, solemn and symmetrical appearance. Desecration of beauty.

However, when the demon turned his head to look at Calvin, the aura it had accumulated from its appearance to its descent dissipated in just a few seconds:
The Calvin in front of him was four meters tall, even compared to the later demons, especially with the silver heavy armor and the blessing of the imperial truth, he was already majestic enough in the eyes of Appius.

But under the devil's natural vision, the real form of Calvin in front of him is even more exaggerated. In the eyes of mortals, he is already a demigod-like body, and there is a terrifying existence the size of a star curled up...

The figure of this being is so huge that it has tried its best to look up to the edge of his figure, but at the end of his vision, he can only see the face of an expressionless giant spirit, in the distant clouds separated by the supreme sky. , indifferently cast a gaze down on it.

"The Lord of Myriad Wisdom... What the hell have you caused?"

The demon whispered towards its host but did not stop in his hands. A set of golden sword shield and a double-headed snake spear were summoned from the void, and Appius behind him also felt the demon's attack. Be cautious, and aim the weapon in your hand at Calvin in the distance.

"You speed up the progress, I can finish it right away..." Calvin looked at the man and the demon in front of him, and put down the communication in his hand.

In the starry sky tens of thousands of meters above, just as Tabers put down the communicator, he frowned and looked at the warning light in front of him.

Due to the obvious difference in the number and specifications of warships between the two sides, fighting against the remaining fleet of the son of Guilliman did not bring him any pressure.

But the specific battle was not so smooth. The traitors inherited the fighting style of the Ultramarines, allowing them to make full use of the cover of ground firepower and the threat of orbital defense weapons when they fought against the Gray Knights fleet.

Although this kind of one-on-one battle can't make up the gap between the two sides, its safe tactical choice and never-risky combat style also make it impossible for Tabers to start. The background fell through several times.

"The Navigator Deck has detected anomalies in the space energy inside the galaxy! There are multiple large units that are transitioning!"

"Identify!" Tabers replied immediately, and at the same time notified the two wing ships that had entered the mid-range firefight to prepare to evade.

"Received friendly identification signal!" A faint voice sounded from the direction of the astropathic deck, and the command deck immediately gave the corresponding decoding comparison.

"Encrypted identification passed! The signal source is being compared!" The crew on the command deck responded loudly, and then their faces changed suddenly at the moment the signal source comparison was successful.

"The result!" The person in charge of the command deck originally lowered his head and stared at the battlefield situation in front of him, but after waiting for a few seconds without hearing the answer, he questioned the former angrily.

He just wanted to take out the weapon in his waist to enforce battlefield discipline on the former, but when he saw the latter silently sharing information to the main screen, he also fell into the same stagnation...

"Ultimate Warrior! Why are they here?"

Tabers also saw the information on the screen at the same time, and he couldn't help but look at the starlight that was shining on the Manzeville point on both sides of the galaxy.

This is his third century as a member of Victory Blade, commanding the fleet of the Gray Knights.

Countless training and battles have made him so familiar with the navy's information that he doesn't need any instrumental assistance, and he can roughly know the number of incoming ships just by looking at them.

But at this moment, he would rather not have this experience, because at the origin of the galaxy, on the subspace barrier that is becoming more and more unstable due to energy convergence, there are more than [-] sources of information!
This is a naval fleet with at least two battleships as the core, designed for strategic maneuvers in the star field!

what does that mean?This means that it must have at least four heavy cruisers and the same number of light cruisers, as well as an escort fleet that is more than three times the sum of the two!

The purpose of the Ultramarines was no longer important to Tabers at this time.

What he was really worried about was, given that the opponent had an absolute numerical advantage, knowing that the Tribunal was fighting a sub-group from them, what choice would they make?

Is it to accept the stain on the honor of his own regiment, and to destroy his compatriots with the outsider of the Inquisition with shame?

Or do they just keep doing two things, just like dealing with the judges who came to investigate the sons of Guilliman before, letting them "disappear" into the vast universe?
And that doesn't really matter, especially compared to the Primarch's safety.

Tibbers doesn't care about his own life or death, but the Primarch must not be in any danger!

How to do?
The veteran was thinking hard, hoping to find a way to break the situation. He didn't dare to pin his hopes on the loyalty of others, especially after someone had been dealt with to open the wound here.

The crew on the entire command deck knew the crisis of the fleet at this time. In the quiet air, the steel was moaning overwhelmed on the seat guard at the hand of the Gray Knight captain.

"Anomalies in the space energy inside the galaxy have been detected! There are multiple large units that are transitioning!"

Below the bridge in the distance, the alarm sounded again on the navigator's deck.

Tabers looked up indifferently at the sound ahead, but just when he thought that this message was just an invalid repetition of the previous alarm, on the command deck closest to his feet, the intelligence officer in charge of information collection suddenly raised his head and shouted excitedly in his direction. shout:
"Encrypted information passed! Source identification passed! The source of the signal - the Minotaur battle group!

The source of the signal - the Minotaur war group! "
