Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"You're right... they're alive."

Corax fell into memories again, and it was clear that his experience in the Eye of Terror had gained him a lot.

Seeing that the conversation here was interrupted, Calvin also guided the ceremony in the silver hall to the next step.

Founding Father Fermat retreated into the crowd, as if there were no other problems for the time being.

Calvin looked at him with a smile and did not express any accountability for his previous transgression.

In his speech, he officially expressed his congratulations to Calvin as Lucius's representative.

And at the end of his speech, he promised to formally join the Mechanical Ark fleet under his command, and the three Hongzhi who fought with the team, into the command sequence of the original body.

Faced with this promise, Calvin could only smile and express his gratitude.

Thanks to Lucius for his profound righteousness in forging the world, and for once again selflessly dedicating his strength to the empire in times of crisis.

But is this really the case?

If someone else had said those words just now, what would be the end waiting for him?
Calvin's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of coldness still inevitably flashed across the corners of his eyes.

This is the Forge World, this is the Mechanicum.

Even after experiencing serious civil strife, they had to compromise after their vitality was severely damaged. Under the leadership of Mars, they collectively joined the Terran Council and officially became a member of the upper echelons of the empire.

They have never been truly loyal to the Empire, and they have never been in awe of the Empire's rule.

Three macrobranches (the standard unit of the Skitarii Legion under the Adeptus Mechanicus), including a branch of the Order of the Titans.

This is an extremely powerful military force, especially in tough battles on the ground. You can hardly find a more reliable force in the empire's armed sequence than the Titan Legion.

This was Fermat's confidence, and like the firearms and equipment in the hands of hundreds of millions of soldiers in the empire, it was the confidence of all members of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

In fact, they are using their huge industrial production capacity under their technological monopoly to hijack the rule of the empire.

And in a time when the Emperor still walked the earth, this was the very fact he worked hard to eliminate.

titan!

Calvin reminded himself repeatedly in his mind that he must solve the personnel problem of the Order of Omen.

Only the Titan Legion that truly belongs to them will not count on this group of troops that can escape control at any time at such a critical moment.

Only by truly establishing a complete industrial system that is no less than that of Mars, will the fate of the human empire not be kidnapped in the hands of this group of opportunists!

Fermat's speech ended, and then it was the Admiral's time.

In view of Calvin's identity and the endorsement behind him by the envoys of the throne room. Vasilev showed full respect and sincerity when facing Calvin.

With almost no effort, this huge fleet with dozens of main starships was smoothly integrated into the command sequence of the original body.

Whether these cooperations are related to the changes in the Imperial Navy in the Terran Council is another matter of opinion...

What follows is a meeting with the Astra Militarum and other fleet members.

Calvin, having accepted the courtesy of these men, responded with appropriate kindness.

Due to his status as a soldier in his previous life, he naturally had a good impression of these soldiers who were truly responsible for the safety of the empire;

But today is different from the past, and the excessive kindness of a original body is sometimes not always a good thing for these mortals.

Corax's silence did not last long.

Just as Calvin led everyone to the second half of the Silver Hall, behind the strategic information hall dedicated to the Gray Knights.

The Lord of the Crows, who had calmed down, started a new conversation with Calvin while everyone was still adapting to the huge space here.

The Silver Hall is a classic Romanesque building.

This circular internal space is neatly divided into two with the huge screen wall behind Calvin's throne as the center.

When Calvin led everyone around the screen wall, the thick mechanical arm on the dome lowered slightly.

The head of the psychic Titan, the Imperial Veritas, drooped slightly as the gears and hydraulic levers groaned.

A laser beam as thick as an arm was lowered from the center of the forehead of the Imperial Commissar to the strategic sand table in the center of the hall amid everyone's horror.

"Titan...at least the Predator class!"

The mechanical priest in the front row of the crowd paused slightly, and the crowd passed around him like a sense of taste.

This ruling sage, who belonged to the Order of Titans in the Lucius Forge World, carefully observed the coat of arms on the forehead of the Imperial Commissar, and finally restrained his arrogance unconsciously.

This is not a separate part! Not to mention the trophies decorated here by organic creatures for the sake of vain honor. He could see and hear the existence of the Imperial Commissar's machine soul, and he could even understand its powerful power from its unique material and structure!
It was alive and it was watching him!
It's angry, it's roaring! it
It is a transformed and complete Titan in a state of preparation!

who? Who placed it here?
Who allowed an incomparably noble incarnation of the Machine God to succumb to such an irreverent space and serve as a tool for these mortals?
Fermat's mechanical prosthetic eye turned slightly, and he looked upwards through the eyepiece without making a sound.

A laser invisible to the naked eye swept across the coat of arms on the forehead of the Imperial Commissar, and in Fermat's logic circuit, the registered information about the Titan Legion was also being retrieved at high speed.

"Negative... negative... inconsistent with the pattern... negative..."

A series of red runes flashed across his eyes, and at the bottom of the database that was refreshing like raindrops, a scarlet pattern was finally highlighted!

“Ominous omen…the order;
Registration number——none
Membership list - none;

Affiliated machine cellar - none
Belongs to Hongzhi (Forging World) - None!

warn! This unit is in blasphemous data!

warn! This unit is missing!
warn! The unit was forcibly plundered!
warn! Profanity Unit - Lord of the Human Empire. "

"Uh..." A rare human moan came from Fermat's mouth.

This is a manifestation of the spasms of the few wet parts he has left due to the high degree of danger.

He subconsciously looked at the tallest person in the crowd, and the inhumanly tall demigod responded to his gaze with a smile.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Corax's voice appeared again.

Although he didn't say a word just now, the game between Calvin and this representative of Lucius was all in his eyes.

And watching Fermat lower his head, he once again merged into the crowd watching the sand table.

Calvin also withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, and then answered the Raven Lord's question in his heart:

"He? Not worthy."

"That's interesting..."

Corax didn't care about this mechanical priest. In his era, this kind of person was one of the countless mediocre people who had their own way of death.

He would not draw attention to Fermat except when he was offended.

What he is concerned about is the meaning behind the imperial political commissar.

You must know that even when he completed the reconstruction of the legion, he never had a Titan legion...

Since the creation of the Raven Guard, because the legion was established too late, it could only lie dormant under the wings of other legions;
After Corax returned, he discovered that due to the characteristics of his bloodline and the needs of other primarchs, the training carried out by the Raven Guard at that time was not suitable for large-scale frontal combat at all!

The fists are not strong, let alone the gloves.

The luxury of the Titan Legion is definitely the cinnabar mole that Corax has buried in his heart.

Despite his influence, the Raven Guard's stealth abilities surpass those of any Legion.

But the more he possessed such extreme power, the more he envied those brother legions who could face the enemy head-on.

I can use it, but I can’t live without it!

This is the essential idea of ​​Corax, and it is also the basic requirement for the development of the Legion of Astartes when all Legion Masters face complex battle situations!

"Tell me, how did you get this thing? I mean...how did you get it and the person who matched it?"

There was a rare hint of obvious envy in Corax's tone.

This kind of Titan, which can independently control the control of the oil guys, is simply the dream lover of all Primarchs.

Not to mention that it was just a machine without a complete legion; even during the years when Corax was active, this thing had never appeared alone in a complete form outside of the Mechanicus!

Not even a complete part!
But this one is completely different!

It is complete! It's alive!

What Fermat could sense through his knowledge and the rituals of the Mechanicum, Corax could also see through psionics!

He can sense the health of the imperial political commissar!

Although this huge head was silent, in his eyes, this guy was using its extremely healthy machine soul to roar in the subspace all the time!

"Oh...you mean it? That would be a long story..."

Calvin looked at the dome of the silver hall, and his mind returned to that snowy world...
