Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 62 Traits and Signs

What is order?Or what does order really mean to different people?
Order is law, stability, the foundation of prosperity, and the cornerstone of the birth of all good.

On one's own side, it is a gentle examination and correction based on wisdom and reason; on the enemy's side, it is essentially a severe and irrefutable questioning and trial.

From the outset the fight was opted into a one-sided carnage.After jumping up, Calvin's figure went straight to the headed troll, and slashed at him with the big sword in his hand.

The croissant that the opponent was trying to parry collided with Calvin's epee, and the black-green divine power that originated from Nurgle collided with Calvin's power and then collapsed.

The great sword dyed platinum by Calvin's psychic energy no longer resisted, and cut the opponent's staff and staff in half all the way down.

The opponent's huge body fell limply to the ground in an instant after being cut open. The golden flames at the wound burned from the inside like a raging fire, and then sprang out from its five sense organs, turning it into a huge human-shaped fireworks.

After landing with one blow, Calvin swept across with his long sword, opening up space for the comrades who caught up behind him.The terminators who followed also came, expanding the space opened up by Calvin again.

Under the first wave of attacks, the carrion corpses and giant monsters in front of Calvin and others were successfully beheaded.Hundreds of carrion corpses and trolls fell under the swords and halberds of Calvin and his comrades.

The terminators who had just landed were not greedy for merit. After cleaning up the enemies around them under the vigorous sweep of melee, they quickly adjusted their breathing and raised their left hands.

The six storm bolters started intensive and precise bursts of fire at the targets suspected of casting spells among the corpses, creating favorable conditions for the upcoming second round of charge.

At this time, the other six terminators who arrived down the slope in the second batch just finished their adjustments and began to charge the enemy for the second time from the gap between the comrades in front.

Calvin no longer participated in the first round of charge, but searched for large targets in the corpse group and carried out fixed-point killing.

The advancement of the front line and the communication with each other are carried out at high speed every moment in the psionic channel centered on him, and it never stops.

The high degree of tacit understanding between each other and the sharing of vision make the killing of the terminators full of the exquisite beauty of strange gears, or in other words, this is the beauty that belongs to the order alone.

Although there were too many enemies to count, under the blessing of Calvin, when facing these killing teams composed of champion swordsmen at close range, the advantage in numbers belonged to the gray knight's side:
When you stand in front of these angels, you will not only face the attack of the warrior in front of you.

It's like you can't understand why the opponent's slash can be dodged by you, and it can just cut off the head of a comrade who is pinned down by another gray knight.

In the past, this kind of seamless cooperation may have been just an accidental stroke of genius between some partners who have been training and fighting together all the year round.

But when Calvin came, such scenes occurred more and more frequently in the battles of his honor guard.

The Gray Knights also went from being pleasantly surprised at the beginning, to accepting it calmly, to the point where they were so commonplace that they didn't care.

Correspondingly, in Calvin's psionic channels, descriptive words about specific material concepts appear less and less frequently.

This is due to the fact that after the champion swordsmen share their vision and thoughts efficiently, the obstacles they need to cross to communicate with each other are actually greatly reduced.

After all, the existence of language itself is a universal communication tool created for different individuals without the possibility of fully understanding each other.

At the beginning of its birth, this tool gave up too much color and understanding that is exclusive to the individual for the sake of versatility.

After the natural and thorough communication system represented by Calvin was established, the working process of "understanding-transformation-understanding" of language, an acquired communication tool, became more and more redundant among champion swordsmen.

They discovered that when they are both within the scope of the spiritual channel, the "transformation" in the middle can be completely omitted.

How wonderful it would be to understand each other's will directly without any misunderstanding.

Such anomalies are only emerging now, because the number of people who use this kind of communication to fight is too small to be noticed.

And in the future, as Calvin grows and the new blood who inherits his gene seeds gradually become the main part of the Gray Knights, such specificity will eventually be discovered by other forces in the empire during the long battle Eventually marked as a trait unique to the Gray Knights.

But they just can't, and it's impossible to know the reason for this existence.Because every gray knight who can successfully join the spiritual channel has already proved his high recognition of order from the soul level.

Such gray knights are even stronger than their original predecessors in terms of strength of will.In the past 8000 years, the will of the older generation of gray knights is still unmatched, not to mention these "new" gray knights who have been assimilated by Calvin's gene seeds since birth, and are naturally closer to high-energy creatures than their predecessors Woolen cloth?
Apart from Calvin himself, how can these gray knights speak the "little secret" belonging to their legion?

Even if it is the emperor... Well, let's not discuss this issue for the time being...

In short, as this system, which is currently limited to combat use, is gradually promoted and used in other directions, living in silence, training in silence, and fighting in silence, it will eventually become the gray knights who are the most popular among most people. Inherent impression in mind.

Except for the occasional battle cry and communication when fighting with friendly forces, you can hardly even find the communication between these silver angels in daily life, but they have a tacit understanding as if they are one person.

No matter which company, no matter which order.Even in the future, the staff of the Gray Knights will no longer be tense, and their establishment will no longer flow.

The gray knights across the star field may not have seen each other for centuries since the transformation operation.

But as long as they meet on the battlefield, they don't need to speak, they only need to look at each other from a distance, and they can quickly find the tacit understanding they should have, as if they have been fighting together for countless years.

This way of fighting, which is completely different from the other Astartes and even the Custodians, sets them apart from all previous works of the Emperor.

"Angel of Silence" became the unique name of the Astartes for this group of maverick "brothers". (No Astartes know the genetic origin of the Gray Knights, at best they know of the Gray Knights' existence.)
All of the above descriptions belong to the future, and right now, the seeds of these things are still germinating.

With the adaptation of the first battle, the cooperation of the champion swordsmen has become more and more proficient. With Gavins and Gold as the next level of protection at the command level, Calvin safely withdrew from the management command sequence.

He no longer joins the specific formation now. Apart from the occasional charge, the only thing Calvin can do now is to wipe out the opponent's powerful units one-on-one to ensure the smoothness of the battle line.

This continuous rolling charge has continued, and the Interceptor team also slowly closed from both sides after advancing the front line, and retreated to keep up with the footsteps of Calvin's team to ensure the safety of the team's rear.

The number of rotting corpses is still increasing, and the endless enemies are still coming from afar.

However, the entire team was advancing firmly and unstoppably, and the blurred outline of the entrance of the Hive City several kilometers away became more and more clear.
