Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 60 Arrival
Dark gray clouds still hang over the sky, and the torrential rain has immersed the whole world in water.The sky is water, and the earth is water.

In the sky, leaden gray cumulonimbus clouds seemed to have no end, and the soil of the whole world was turned into mud ponds and swamps by the sudden months-long rain.

Unlike the endless clouds in the field of vision of mortals, if you can get rid of the gravity on the surface and observe the planet from the perspective of orbit.

You will find that these endless clouds, after all, are also part of the cantilever that makes up a huge swirling cloud.

And this huge vortex-shaped typhoon group is the initiator of this heavy rain.

Right now, on the cantilever at the side of this huge vortex covering hundreds of kilometers nearby, there are four inconspicuous "shooting stars" pulling the white smoke brought up by the evaporation of rainwater and falling straight down.

"How much height is there?" Calvin asked Gavins in the communicator that came with the Terminator.

"8500-8000-7500...still landing!"

"Find a high spot! Bad view down there!" Calvin said to Gavins.

"Received! Track correction, others follow!" Gavins said in the communication channel, while activating the rocket injection device in the airdrop cabin to start the second track correction.

From the perspective of the sky, the four airdrop pods ejected white wakes almost in no particular order, forming an equilateral triangle formation with Calvin's cabin as the core, and began the last adjustment before landing.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Four heavy airdrop pods carrying Gray Knights landed one after another on a slightly higher level ground 10 kilometers away from the Hive Capital.

There is still a long distance from the hive capital here, but this is already the operating limit for them to shorten the distance to the hive capital as much as possible after penetrating through the edge of the clouds and adjusting the trajectory again.

With the activation of the air pressure valve, the hatch was quickly lowered.The gray knights headed by Calvin also quickly carried out vigilant inspections around.

Calvin also lifted the great sword in his hand after the cabin door opened, and walked out of the cabin.

Against the gloomy background, his armor didn't look dim at all, and the force field shields on both sides of his shoulders had been automatically activated, allowing the rain to bypass his head one after another.The golden halo of the steel halo on the scripture stand above the energy backpack complements the silver light of the blue psionic circle on his head.

Such a sacred scene made the surrounding gray knights look more excited.Especially the terminators who knew Calvin's identity were thanking the emperor for his generosity and kindness.

In this kind of battlefield with no outsiders and only gray knights, if they haven't seen the enemy yet, these emotional terminators really want to shout out the battle cry that has been brewing for a long time:
"For the Emperor! With the holy Lord of the Titans!"

Calvin could sense the mood swings of these terminators, but he didn't know the reason.

At this time, he was looking at the screen on the left arm armor, checking his position, while using his peripheral vision to observe the surrounding terrain features and check the information on the screen one by one.

"Here, um, here, um, right..."

Gavins and Tariq stood guard on either side of him, waiting for his orders.

The two captains of the two interceptor teams not far away also left their formation and walked towards Calvin after arranging the security task.

Calvin didn't make them wait any longer. After confirming his location, he quickly picked out the most insecure route from the nearest route.

He slightly raised his voice to attract the attention of the two paladins standing around him and the captain of the Interceptor squad who had just arrived:
"Here, 3 kilometers further ahead, is the suburban plate of the hive capital. There is a small agricultural area of ​​the hive capital. We will enter from here. And here, right behind us, is the surface settlement near here. , let's be careful..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps approaching in the distant woodland and the warning reminder from the gray knight in charge of this direction made Calvin look up in that direction:

At the end of the line of sight, about 500 meters away, through these black dead trees without branches and leaves.A group of at least a hundred carrion corpses that could still barely see their human form, were being driven by some stitch monsters with larger corpses, and they were walking towards the gray knights.

Calvin had just finished speaking.He looked at these expected uninvited guests, put down his left arm, and lifted the big sword stuck on the ground with a slight shock. The water-blue spiritual energy with silver light followed the spiritual energy pathway on the spine of the sword and ignited it. The entire blade.

Looking at these carrion corpses that were polluted and imprisoned in their own rotten bodies, and could not be freed after death, Calvin said softly:

"Well, let's do this here first, we have work to do."

Following Calvin's words, the Gray Knights efficiently followed the previous combat formations. They silently divided according to their functions, and stood in their positions to prepare for this encounter.

It is different from the situation that is about to explode here, in the towering hive capital in the distance, in the auditorium on the top floor.It is another absurd and sad scene.

In the same gloomy environment, a huge figure that was no different from before was wandering in pain in the hall of the chapel with a pile of "precious waste" on its head.

This monster whose former name was Hai Lan and whose identity was the governor of the empire, was stuck in his own memory and could not escape.Sometimes sober and sometimes chaotic, he couldn't control himself at all.

And the pain brought about by his own memories every time he wakes up makes him howl with inhuman anger: "Son of malice...Son of malice! Son of malice!!!"

He swung the copper pillar in his hand, and knocked away the corpse of a lying Astartes warrior on the back wall of the auditorium.

Still unable to understand his hatred, he chased after him with staggering steps, angrily grabbed the heavy lamppost with both hands, and smashed and smashed the dark yellow power armor on the dead body on the ground.

"This one is for my comrades in arms; this one is for my relatives and friends; this one is for the people at the top; this one is for the workers at the bottom..."

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..." In the empty hall, the sound of the collision between the heavy lamp post and the pottery steel continued to echo.Correspondingly, the entire room, the entire auditorium, and even the entire nest are deadly quiet.

In contrast to the dead silence represented by the absolute silence, a tall shrub that shouldn't exist is growing luxuriantly in a place that should have been a fountain in the room behind the auditorium.

On the green branches and leaves, the fine lines and tiny hairs prove its health.There seems to be fresh dew on the pink flowers at the top and the green branches below.

It's so vibrant and beautiful with a light source at the top of the room.

It makes people feel happy at the first sight, and makes people have a new understanding of life.People can't help but wonder if this is some kind of revelation from the God of Life, and people can't help but wonder how much nutrients it absorbs to grow so vigorously...

　Well, it will be on shelves tomorrow.The author does not ask for votes, rewards, or subscriptions. (Laughing, we don’t have the face to ask for this output, do we?)
　　I just want to say a few words about my feelings here.

　　It is really thanks to everyone's love and tolerance that this book has come to this day.

　　Otherwise, as a newcomer who wrote a composition of more than 800 words for the first time, it would be impossible for me to make it to the shelf.

　　Since I applied for the title of the book, even before I signed the contract, some book friends have found my book through keywords.

　　When I didn't sign a contract, when there was no traffic, it was you who gave me the initial data, which made it possible for me to be signed by the editor.

　　It can be said that I grew up under the special care of Hammer Circle book friends.

　　The first attention, the first favorite, the first encouragement in the book review area.I can see it vividly.And every first time makes me, a middle-aged man in the secular sense, happy like a child.

　　Well, or like Stephen Chow's lines: He, like a dog^-^
　　I know how many authors there are at Qidian and how difficult it is to sign a contract at Qidian.

　　As a pure newcomer who doesn't understand anything, if it wasn't for a coincidence that I wrote the first book on this subject, and if it wasn't for your support, I would probably be one of the tens of thousands of people who can't even sign a contract.Probably there will be no more...

　　So for the book lovers in Hammer Circle, I am 1 grateful!Without you, there would be absolutely no birth of this book, and it would be even more impossible to have this book without you. Now, how can I, at the age of 35, allow me to have a part of my short life that can be remembered by others? wealth.And this is what you gave me!
