Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

In the dark and cold space, countless stars twinkle in the Milky Way, and the desert that guards the desolate world in desperate situation shows its desolate colors in a dim yellow tone at the feet of the Silver Dawn.

This is a world that is not suitable for the reproduction of life. But when you stand in the starry sky and look down, the speckled architectural miniatures on the ground and the star castles in orbit use their gray and rust colors that belong to civilization to prove that there is life in this world. Mark of.

Dots of defensive weapons are suspended in orbit, drifting slowly with the rotation of the planet. Occasionally, the light of stars skirts the ground, refracting iron-gray light on their armor and weapons.

Dense weapon base stations surround the huge body of the Star Fortress, and the sparks generated by scattered crowds and maintenance equipment on the surfaces of these man-made celestial bodies indicate that they are in an active state.

The sparse fleet is like a tiny but busy ant colony against the backdrop of the planet's land. The route between the starport and the starfort is their constant back and forth path.

The Argent Dawn, the battleship of the Gray Knights.

This 24-kilometer-long space battleship is like a sleeping whale at this time, floating quietly next to the star port built at the equator of Desperate Watch.

The dim and cold starlight reflected the sparkling silver light on this ancient but young battleship.The sharp sagittal bow uses the central collision angle as the base point to divide the front end of the entire battleship into upper and lower sides;
The hull, which is far thicker than its sister ships, is centered on the macro gun unit in the center, and the overall shape is similar to an octagonal space composed of two trapezoids that are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

Macrogun units were dormant and concealed under rows of square armor modules. On the rectangular flight deck below, groups of material transport ships were entering and exiting in an orderly manner.

The 4000-meter-long hull is arranged in the shape of a sword; the eagle emblem made of fine gold shines brightly on the collision angle of the bow, and the emperor's statue of the same material echoes the position of the sword in front.

The several-kilometer-sized holy sword emblem occupies the armor on the rear facade of the battleship; the spreading psychic arrays and energy circuit nodes are like silver blood veins, constantly glowing in the light as the ship breathes. Slowly alternating with darkness.

Well, "electric eel" was Calvin's joke about the appearance of this battleship based on the memory of his previous life. But the Gray Knights obviously couldn't accept this kind of joke, let alone use this kind of nonsense in future combat operations. The word of honor serves as a codename for the Silver Dawn.

This is the last glorious queen of the empire and the flagship of the Legion belonging to the Gray Knights.And they are the emperor's angels, and they are Calvin's eagle wings.

"This is the Titan, calling the eyrie!"

"Repeat, this is the Titan, calling the eyrie!"

"Eagle's Nest 029, received."

"The formation is returning, please give instructions."

"Roger, the formation is returning. Deck No. 1109 has been opened and can be entered at any time. Channel Delta [-]."

"Confirmation, deck one, channel - Delta 1109, completed."

Under the macrogun array in the middle of the battleship, on both sides of the gate of Flight Deck No. [-], the Eye of Gorgon is releasing an automatically circulating identification key into the void.The outward-extending gravity deck skirt has been fully deployed and is waiting for the aircraft group transferred from the tower to enter.

At the end of the 1000-meter-deep deck cabin, the roar of the approaching rail train on the ship had just faded away. The mechanical slaves had no time to take a breath from the work of transporting supplies. The emergency evacuation order from the mechanical priests had already arrived.

The artificial atmosphere and gravity facilities were activated, and sirens were screaming on the deck.Silent people gathered in groups, moving towards the sealed cabins on both sides of the deck like a school of fish.

At the hatch at the end of the field of vision, there was a group of giants in silver armor ignoring the coming vacuum, dividing into two columns and moving forward against the flow of people.

The red warning light flashed at high speed, and in the middle of the deck after the crowd disappeared, the giants stood quietly.

The battleship's gravitational field was temporarily shut down, allowing the noisy deck to be replaced by the cold, quiet silence of the vacuum.In an environment where everything is so quiet that you can even hear your own heartbeat, there are occasional sparks from the magnetic boots and the deck.

The giants still didn't say a word, but at the end of their sight, the Thunderhawk was rapidly expanding from a black spot that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye until it was clearly visible after separating from the escort group inside the atmosphere.

The Thunder Eagle embedded with the holy sword became clearer and clearer in the field of vision, and finally trailed a long tail flame, whistling and hovering on the deck of the battleship before landing.

Buzz... The artificial atmosphere and gravitational field started to work again, and a slight chirping sounded in the cochlea.

The huge Thunder Eagle lowered the ramp from the side, and the relatively small figure of the original body appeared in front of everyone.

But that was only relative. When Calvin's figure walked in front of the Gray Knights, everyone could clearly feel the bulk of the original body and the surge from the depths of his blood.

+Go. +
The moment he connected with the will of the legion, Calvin issued the order to march. The 20-man escort turned around neatly in this second, and the original body at this time also walked to the center of the array just in time.

Nicholas and Jin stood behind Calvin, observing these Gray Knights intently. The latter continued to fine-tune the formation as they marched without communicating with each other, and thoughtfully left enough space and vision for the two Forbidden Army soldiers. .

"It's such a convenient ability." Nicholas turned his head and looked at Jin beside him. The meaning conveyed by their gazes was highly consistent.

No matter how many times they experience such scenes, they will still feel envious of the Gray Knights' linkage method.

The combat value cannot be envied by these scholar-type warriors. They are confident that they can achieve similar results on the battlefield with long-term tacit understanding.

However, the superiority of psychic energy in specific life made the Imperial Guards very regretful. Although they did not have a deep understanding of productivity tools, they could still vaguely feel the efficiency of this tool.

Terra, Titan, Cypramundi, information from outside the Legion kept flashing through Calvin's mind.

In particular, the troops Sepramondi had already invested in the Gothic direction provided Calvin with the most critical feedback to lift the fog of war.

In the direction of the agricultural world of Farr, a newly dispatched Death Watch team has started its first encounter with the enemies there;

After identification, the alien civilization was identified as the Eldar, again consistent with Calvin's experience in the direction of Desperate Watch.

The Eldar, the empire's old rival, are consciously blocking the empire's information channels in the Gothic direction, and based on the intensity of resistance encountered by the Death Watch team, the enemy's war should be coming to an end.

There was not much time left for Calvin, he had to speed up.

The original body once again confirmed this point of view in his heart, and while reading the information about the Death Watch team, a familiar name unexpectedly appeared in front of him.

"Sura?" Calvin recalled the memories before the Moro War and confirmed the other party's identity again.

An Astartes from the Ultramarines should not have attracted his attention.But in previous interactions, the other party was obviously a core member of the Ultramarines.

This kind of member who is clearly a key member to be cultivated within the Chapter actually appears in the list of members of the Death Watch. Its own significance is worth pondering for the original body.

"Sevens should have left his job, but I don't know where he will end up."

Calvin silently listed this information as a note in his mind. The changes in a faction headed by Severns were destined to have a profound impact on the situation in the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.

In terms of the founding group's ability to keep intelligence secret, this major change that can be collected is undoubtedly an important basis for Calvin's future judgment on them.

The appearance of Sulla means that this young adjutant, who was originally promising, has lost his promotion path because of the resignation of his superior.

Not to mention, Calvin has some strong "interests" in this talented Astartes warrior himself.

Update, the status is not good, everyone has been waiting for a long time.
