Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 56 Redemption or Rat Extermination

Outside the SATA node area, as the calm space was suddenly broken, the portal to reality on the other side of the universe was abruptly torn open, and the "Revenant Redeemer", which sailed in the subspace for 30 days, finally arrived at the SATA node area the periphery.

The Revenant Redeemer, where Calvin was located, launched a communication search to the entire segment in accordance with the regulations as soon as it entered the physical universe, and continued to send out strong pulse signals to mark its own existence.

Sure enough, less than 3 minutes later, on the bridge command platform of the battleship, when Calvin and a group of decision-makers were comparing the star map downloaded from the public channel of the star area with the actually observed planet, the work area in front of the command platform Then came the report from the communication personnel: According to the existing record number GK39-01 on the ship, the Gray Knight strike cruiser sent a communication request to our ship.

After being confirmed by Calvin, the communication signal was transferred to the light curtain directly in front of the podium.

After a burst of noise at the initial stage of the link and distorted images, the long-lost face of Calvin's old acquaintance, Silver Blade Master Aidan, the current commander-in-chief of the war zone, appeared on the light curtain.

And what followed was Calvin's familiar voice, which seemed particularly embarrassing among the mentors:

"By the throne, who did I see? Is that old fellow Walden finally willing to let you out?"

The presence of outsiders, whether it is Calvin's Mechanic Bishop Klein who came from Mars temporarily to take up his post after a short period of cooperation, or the representative of the Inquisition Court who must be present on the side of Great Mentor Aidan at this time, makes Calvin unable to be presumptuous.

And the information about his identity cannot be leaked in this channel at will.Therefore, Calvin, who was unilaterally molested, could only choose to avoid it.

So Calvin straightened his body and gave Aidan an eagle salute pretendingly, and reported to Aidan in a serious manner in the eyes of the light curtain and the people on the other side of the light curtain:

"In the name of the Emperor, our ship Revenant Redeemer has arrived at the edge of the war zone, waiting for your instructions! There are two Terminator squads and two Interceptor squads on the ship. All members are in good condition and can participate in combat missions at any time. !The crew is 15400, with complete accessories and materials, and the theoretical weapon array is 75% full. Except for special equipment, conventional weapons and ammunition are sufficient. In addition, in accordance with the requirements of you and the frontline command, our ship has successfully received the designated materials in the Heshas star field. The quantity matches, please let me know how to deal with it.”

"Ahem..." Aidan, who was kicked back by Calvin, no longer pretended to be relaxed.

He must also be equally serious when it comes to specific combat matters.

After carefully listening to the entire content of Calvin's report, when he heard the last sentence about the designated materials, he used his eyes to communicate with the representative of the trial court who had been observing the light curtain for a long time.

Then he looked at the representative of the Starland Navy on the other side and said: "Then according to our reservation plan, there were originally three shortages of troops, and now the arrival of the soul savior is just in time. This mission is not suitable for marines to land. , let them withdraw."

After speaking, Aidan stretched out his finger and pointed to the situation awareness holographic image of the star sector node area at hand:

"Here, Ai Fran No. 1; here Ai Fran No. 9, here Ai Fran No. 15, there are already infection sources, and the team we sent is already on the way..."

Speaking of this, Aidan adjusted his hand back and knocked on the side of the Ai Fran galaxy in the SATA section area, which is the birthplace of all the SATA galaxy: "And here, SATA4, SATA[-], the latest The malicious fighters who came here are already on their way to log in. But here! SATA No. [-]! No! This is obviously wrong!"

Speaking of this, Aidan opened his eyes and looked at the high-level officials and judges around him. He said in a solemn tone: "The silence here keeps me awake at night. With our respect for this group of Nurgle's cubs From the perspective of handling experience, there is no reason why there is no reason for the seventh source of infection when there are no six sources of infection!"

Speaking of this, Aidan once again clicked on the center of the SATA galaxy: "And such inter-galaxy spread and blasphemy, I absolutely do not believe that there is no problem with the capital world as the administrative center and transportation hub!"

Quiet silence originally represented a certain degree of recognition, not to mention which of the people present did not obtain their status and dignity through years of serving the emperor in the sea of ​​corpses and blood?
The previous ignorance or silence towards SATA to a certain extent is not so much the negligence of these long-term veterans, but rather a helpless choice when faced with a complex battle situation and insufficient troops.

This hidden point of possible threat is still the capital world of the sector with the most powerful population and defense force.If corruption really existed, then without the direct intervention of the Astartes, it would be easy to send mortal troops to land, and most of the results would be nothing but empty land.

And when the chips in the hand are not enough, every point of the chip is less, and the enemy on the opposite side will be more calm.

Therefore, the emperor's wealth must be cherished, whether it is gold coins or silver coins, even if it is a coin like an iG big head!Must be well spent too!
The empire is not afraid of casualties, but the empire will never allow wanton waste!

When conditions did not permit, this group of veterans of the empire tried to delay the situation from worsening.Simplify complex issues, put aside those that cannot be considered, and hand over the problems that ordinary people cannot solve to the emperor. Do your best to do your job well, and not be knocked down by these things in order to maintain the best condition to serve the emperor.

This is also the experience of these people who have been fighting against chaos in a disadvantageous state in their past service careers.But once conditions permit, Aidan, who has long been suspicious of SATA Star One, will never tolerate the threat of this key position that he has long regarded as a thorn in his side.

The immediate decision to launch a raid-like sweep was the way the Gray Knight Grandmaster, as the highest person in charge of the front line, dealt with this.

The position of the judge Jelinka Lyudmila, who has been silent on the sidelines, in the trial court is also very interesting.

The Sacred Hammer Order she belongs to and the Purity faction she really belongs to have always taken the most radical stance on things like chaos pollution.

Being able to keep silent for a long time in such a situation, apart from being forced by the situation, it can only be said that she has established a very solid trust in her long-term cooperation with the great mentor Aidan.

And after Aidan had already given enough trust to the new arbiter on the opposite side of the light curtain, he and the gray knights he led were capable enough to complete the raid and clean up the hive world of a star sector sector capital. There may be extensive corruption after the quest.

She did not express any other opinions on the candidates for this mission, but only expressed cautious concerns about the number of enemies that may exist in this hive:

"Young arbiter, I believe in your loyalty and ability, but please remember, if you can't do anything..."

Speaking of this, Zelinka Lyudmila paused solemnly, her deep blue eyes under her brows with narrow and long scars seemed to be full of memories, and the tightly pursed corners of her mouth indicated that she might recall some Very bad memory.

But as strong as she was, she quickly got rid of the negative emotions brought about by this memory, and continued to speak to Calvin on the other side of the light curtain:

"If you can't do anything, please return to the track immediately. I, Judge Zelinka Lyudmila of the Devil Tribunal, the internal code name of the Tribunal is S12-H93-00-OP-9502, authority β, temporary authority α. I officially authorize you Ship, exercise the right to 'rat eradication'! The specific use process should be included in your emergency record. The code is 9954, and the equipment used is the batch of materials you accepted. Don't worry about blame afterwards, I will record it in your exercise authority sign it."

Calvin on the opposite side of the light curtain was originally listening to the command from the headquarters with a serious expression, but after hearing the words "rat extermination" from the judge on the opposite side, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

His mind couldn't help thinking: Has the matter reached such a critical situation?In other words, his Calvin's first mission will start with personally promulgating an "extermination order"?
