Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 405 Echoes of Courage and Loyalty ([-]) The Battle Is Settling
"Have we caught up?" The giant beast named Moloch on the bronze throne looked at the strange starry sky in front of him, and confirmed to the chief priest beside him in a low voice.

"As you wished, we have indeed caught up." Chief Priest Cormien looked at the porthole deck that was being raised, and replied to his monarch.

The galaxy where the world of Presdia is located is located at the Manzeville point in the third quadrant. The fleet headed by the interstellar labyrinth completed the jumping procedure, and appeared in the real universe after a flash of light.

The Ultramarine fleet that arrived earlier than them just chose the first and fourth quadrants of this galaxy.

This was undoubtedly a very dangerous move, for from the perspective of the Gray Knights at war, the position of the Ultramarines fleet was like two swords.

After occupying the favorable terrain on both wings of the battlefield, the huge fleet that did not move brought the entire Presdia within their range of strangulation.

And the information difference between the two sides made some dangerous handling methods placed in front of the Ultimate Starfield Fleet.

On the one hand, these Far Eastern fleets with special missions are not aware of the particularity of this Inquisition Court fleet, let alone that Calvin is in this fleet.

The purpose of their trip is the same as that of the Gray Knights, but different. They hope that before the hidden danger of the son of Guilliman erupts, they themselves will deal with it secretly.

On the other hand, Calvin's own expectation that the Inquisition Court fleet stayed here, and even broke out with Presdia, was not within Calvin's expectations.

So when the fleet of the Ultimate Starfield discovered the battle here, a certain dangerous idea was naturally placed in front of their commander.

But fortunately, the appearance of the tauren war group broke this dangerous situation again. The number of this fleet is not much, but its position is extremely critical.

They happened to appear behind the two "long knives", which made the Ultramarines fleet lose sight of one another, and could no longer form the previous deterrence.

The Ultramarines have apparently also considered plans to deal with this uninvited guest, such as sending a small fleet to complete the containment of the fleet of the Tauren Chapter.

However, the tauren's brutal and famous fighting style, and the gambler's style that half of the battle group participated in the battle collectively, finally made the Ultramarines choose to retreat.

"The damage would be huge ... and it would be impossible to clean it up."

This kind of thinking has reached a consensus among the top management of the fleet, and since it can no longer be absolutely clean, some extreme solutions are naturally excluded.

"Demand them to identify themselves and then question their reasons for the war."

On the flagship of the Far East Fleet, Third Company Commander Severns stared at the Inquisition mark on the battleship on the screen for a long time, and then gave this well-informed order to his adjutant.

The former is tall and tall but has an old complexion, and his calm eyes are particularly resolute against the backdrop of the laurel crown on the top of his head and the six gold nails on his forehead.

The latter is the face of a young man. As the future star of the warband, this young man born and bred in Ultramar has just won the honor and affirmation of the crown of laurel leaves in a century-old armed pilgrimage.

His bravery and courage made him stand out from his peers, and after gaining the approval of all the veterans of the chapter, he was qualified to serve as his second-in-command.

The same laurel wreath is worn on the young man's head, and unlike Severns' old age, two silver service nails on his forehead represent his bright future.

"They have already sent information, and in the name of the Eye of the Empire, they have asked us to stop advancing immediately.

The son of Guilliman has been declared a traitor by the Lord Inquisitor, and the Order of the Hammer is carrying out the sentence of the Inquisition according to his orders. "

Su La took out the data board, and then read to the files in it.

"Eye of the Empire? Then who is their commander? Unfortunately, we are still a step too late. Where is their evidence? Give it to me."

Sevans reached out to take the data pad, and began to read from the basis of the document.

This file came from the Templars who fought underground. They recorded everything they saw with the servo on the power armor during the battle, and then uploaded it to the orbit above.

Sevans looked at the genetic training cabin in the video file, the Astartes warriors who clearly surpassed the scriptures, and their power armor with the fallen emblem, and gradually fell into an embarrassing silence.

This was far worse than what he had expected, and it could not even be explained by simply touching the boundaries of the Holy Code.

From the moment he saw the fallen emblems on those Astartes warriors, Severns knew clearly that this bloodline from the Fourth Company of Ultramarines had completely betrayed the ideals of their genetic father.

He had noticed the various protections of this battle group by other sub-groups before, but he didn't really pay attention to it.

He thought that this was a game between Terra and the place, and at some point he did resist interference in Terra's direction.

But now it seems that these sub-groups really need to be cleaned up seriously after they have been away from the parent group for too long.

And as one of Ultramar's four rulers, he, who has been in charge of enforcing the discipline of the warband in the past hundred years, also needs to make a profound review and atonement to the entire warband after this battle.

"Inform the trial court that our department will unconditionally cooperate with their actions, and if necessary, please allow us to participate in the war."

"Yes!" Sura nodded, then turned and walked towards the communication deck.

The eyes of the two met for only a short moment, but both Severns and he knew that there was not much time left for the master and apprentice to get along.

Presdia's fall several times in the past two thousand years has obviously touched the bottom line of the entire wargroup's tolerance.

As the direct person in charge of this incident, Sevans has an unshirkable responsibility, and his departure from the top management of the warband will definitely lead to a new round of personnel changes for the entire warband.

What about himself?Sura was lost in thought while walking in the corridor of the battleship.

The supervisor's boss is about to be removed from office, and his current position will obviously not continue.

So how should he choose his next step?

To return to the front line of the company and join the battle group in the field of ghouls and the battlefield in the direction of Badab?

Or look for an opportunity to seek the position of the consul of a world among the five hundred worlds of Ultramar?

Or go to Reza to forge the world, or Terra to serve as a communication bridge between the battle group and other forces?
Or, the death watch of the trial court and the new eye of the empire are the right choices for him to display his ambition and realize his self-worth?

Competition is not prohibited within the Ultramarines, but how to compete or how to fully demonstrate one's own capabilities in terms of military affairs, politics, people's livelihood, and technology, and contribute one's own strength to the entire Ultramar, has always been the responsibility of the entire wargroup. Behavior that has been encouraged since Legion days.

What Sura needs to consider right now is how to prove his worth again on another path after one attempt is proved to be a failure.

"Allow them to join the battle." Tabers finally relaxed after seeing the letter from the Ultimate Starfield Fleet.

He looked back at the several battleships ahead that had lost power, and after careful consideration, he finally decided to give the Ultramarines some dignity and respect they deserved.

"Let them deal with their own problems by themselves." He explained to Calvin underground.

The Primarch, who was still fighting underground at this time, also agreed with him, but at the same time warned him not to lose his vigilance.

So on the side of the Tauren warband, the chief priest and diplomat Cormyn also received a communication from Tibers.

Out of caution, they were not transferred to the battlefield that was about to end, but moved towards the edge of the galaxy after the Ultimate Starfield fleet began to participate in the battle.

Although this transfer with an obvious purpose made Sevens feel depressed, but considering his previous behavior, he had nothing to say.

The war on the starry sky began to accelerate since then. The son of Guilliman, who was already in defeat, lost the will to fight after seeing the Ultramarines join the battlefield.

The two cruisers belonging to them successively released the signal of surrender, but the underground battle towards Calvin had just begun.
