Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 81 Evaluation and Selection
"Everything is over here, I think there is no place for me for the time being."

Gavins stood up from the command seat on the bridge after waiting for the fleet to officially enter the subspace navigation state for a period of time, and said to Captain Tabers and Bishop Klein.

After the "baptism" and shock just now, Gavins once again confirmed that his character is not suitable as a leader, and the correctness of his path of focusing on fighting when he chose the champion swordsman.

After insisting on completing his functions as the temporary commander of the fleet, he didn't want to stay in this position that didn't belong to him for another minute.

This kind of comprehensive quality and determination that needs to make choices and trade-offs in other directions all the time besides fighting is really inconsistent with his character.

"Please do what you want," Bishop Klein said.

The commander's business has come to an end, but her work has just begun for the leader of the mechanical priests who must keep an eye on the entire fleet sailing in the warp.

"You're doing well. May I ask where you plan to go?" This was a question from Captain Tabers.

"I'll go to the medical room first to check on Calvin's condition. Presumably my comrades should be there at this time except for those who are resting." Gavins replied, and then he did not wait for the reply from the two, and went straight to the command The stage went down.

"A qualified paladin with a clean and pure heart."

Bishop Klein looked at Gavins' back, and commented with her unique mechanical voice.

"A qualified leader of the guard, he has a very firm heart to carry out the will of the Primarch."

Tabers added.He affirmed Gavins' existing work.

"An unqualified staff member, his overall view is not good. And he is unwilling to take responsibility for the leader." The mechanical archbishop's next words were not so pleasant.

"So we need fresh blood to continuously enter the Primarch's honor guard. His guard should not only have the function of protecting." Tabers deeply agreed with Klein's words, and proposed the position next to Calvin in the future. some views.

"Yes, a wise commander must have a group of generals who are good at fighting, and a wise monarch must have more than one wise minister." Bishop Klein did not directly publish his personal opinion. Opinion, but implicitly expressing her opinion in ancient Terran proverbs.

"So if the Primarch wants to use himself as a bond and cornerstone to influence the direction of the Gray Knights in the future, he should start by cultivating a group of low-level officers in the backbone position. Isn't it?" As a soldier, Tabers is much more direct, He clearly stated his position and role in the future of the Primarch Guard in the Chapter and even the Legion according to his own will.

"May the Om Messiah stay in your wise mind." Bishop Klein didn't talk about this topic any further. She felt that it was enough to reach the above consensus in one conversation, so she used their Mechanicus Cult's A special blessing brings this conversation to a close.

In the middle of the hull of the Revenant Redeemer, Gavins was walking alone on the way to the medical room in the upper left passage.

"I am indeed not a qualified chief of staff. Strictly speaking, I don't even have the ability to serve as a staff member..." Gavins concluded while walking, thinking about the "evaluations" he had just heard, shaking his head and laughing.

As a staff or interim leader, perhaps Gavins did not show enough outstanding talent.

But as one of the best psychic masters in the Gray Knights Chapter, the military side of the Chapter is undoubtedly responsible for the facade.

The combat power he possesses is not limited to fighting, but is reflected in all aspects of life.

The relatively civilian veterans of the two regiments obviously underestimated the limits of his abilities
Just like the "evaluation" that he heard inadvertently just now, it is just his instinct to collect battlefield information that he always has as a soldier.

Or think about it the other way around, is this kind of inadvertent evaluation deliberately let him hear it "inadvertently"?Perhaps this in itself is a kind reminder?

Too complicated.This kind of twists and turns is too complicated for paladins like them who only stay in the hall of champions all year round besides fighting on the front line.

Gavins decided to stop thinking about the things he was not destined to be good at and enjoy, and to focus on the Primarch's safety first.

After all, this is the core of his own work.

And the reason why the Grand Mentor Council of the warband initially made them the champion swordsmen as the basic members of the honor guard was, on the one hand, because of the absolute safety of the Primarch;

On the other hand, it has a lot to do with the fact that the wargroup has never had a similar talent pool before.

They were, after all, different from those Astartes and Custodians.

The Gray Knights are too young, so that whether it is the Astartes of the Legion era or the Forbidden Army of the Wanfu era, they all have a deeper background than the Gray Knights who were just born and were short-handed.

And such background may not be reflected in the external performance of combat capabilities in the war group, but more reflected in the operation and maintenance of the system of personnel training within the war group.

Although Gavins resisted somewhat, his sense of responsibility still made him fall into this kind of thinking.

And as he walked while thinking, he arrived at the medical room before he knew it.

Gavins, who walked around the corner, looked up and saw the hatch of the medical room at the end of his vision, and five Terminators lined up...

"Get kicked out?" Gavins realized what was happening, unwilling to let his thoughts worry everyone.He began to habitually smell bad.

"Yes, brother pharmacist said, either he comes out or we come out." Tariq's mouth was still so efficient, always one step ahead of his brain.He quickly answered Gavins' question.

"Okay, then I'll wait here too." Gavins didn't try to enter the medical cabin again, so as not to embarrass himself in front of the brothers again.

He stood at the end of the queue next to the wall with peace of mind, adjusted the Terminator power armor to the locked mode, and began to meditate with his eyes closed.

Anyway, looking at them, one could tell that Calvin's state must be fairly stable, otherwise the big guys in this group of gray knights were not existences that the pharmacist brothers could easily persuade.

And similar to their estimates, Calvin's state is indeed quite stable, but only limited to his physical body...

Calvin's time in the spiritual world almost stopped at the moment he swallowed the fruit from the eternal cancer.

Afterwards, he was so shocked that he had no chance to take reality into account in front of the fruit that symbolized the cancer of eternity swallowing up the entire next nest of nearly 20 billion people.

Yes, this fruit originated from the plundering and killing of the entire lower hive by the Eternal Cancer.

But this fruit is not just a collection of nearly 20 billion lives in the nest.

The single soul matrix has long been extracted by the Eternal Cancer and used for its own growth, but what was left to Calvin, or in other words, what it originally left on this fruit for its own use in raising demons, is the vast number of millions of sentient beings. Desire and obsession.

Just as courage and war, tyranny and killing, fear and death are excellent nourishment for the believers of the Lord of War;
Indulgence and distortion are excellent dishes for the Lord of Pleasure; (the only existence that cannot complete self-contradiction and unity in philosophy and theology, so its power is the weakest. It is really the crumbs of the four gods, the kind that no one can win .)
Conspiracy and accident, time and transformation are the words of the eternal pursuit of the master of tampering;

What then belongs to the Lord of Life and Corruption is the desire for life and the despair of death in the soul.

This is the case with the authority of the Chaos Gods. Most of their power has completed the contradiction and unity of many aspects of authority in the long-term pursuit of the core teachings of the self.

And because of the difference in the righteousness of the specific apostles, each apostle who was descended to the world by the gods also had different interpretations of the righteousness of their real gods when they spread disasters.

If Hailan is still alive, then his corresponding side is the Lord of Corruption, so his righteousness is to die first and then live, to return the earth to silence in the death of spreading the disease, and then give them rebirth.

So what Hailan really gained in the process of exercising his morality was the desire of all beings for life.

What about the eternal cancer that now confronted Calvin?
On the contrary, it has a side of authority corresponding to the one who is the Lord of Life, a real despair hidden behind the illusion of hope in life.

Therefore, the morality it exercises is to exhaust all resources in the process of life's unscrupulous growth and then go to extinction.

Therefore, it is known that what it really intercepts from the souls of all living beings in the hive capital is the last despair remaining in the face of death after the step-by-step killing.

Yes, Calvin is now facing the despair of 20 billion souls.

The overwhelming black despair that is so thick that even the light is swallowed.

No ordinary person can survive half a second in the face of such despair without being polluted and assimilated.

Even if the emperor manifested his holiness, and the mighty power favored some souls with firm beliefs, they still couldn't last long in this boundless soul shock.

After all, when the torrent of despair composed of two billion souls breaks through your soul defense line with an unstoppable momentum, and rushes down from your spiritual world like an upside-down Milky Way, they themselves are performing a kind of despair called despair. the concept of.

What a great and dark force this is.

If it weren't for this kind of material that can only be used to break through the essence of the devil when he ascends the demon, he would be too cherished; if it weren't for the conditions that are so difficult to facilitate and cannot be released voluntarily.

If this kind of dark power is released as a weapon towards a specific person.

Not to mention the living saints of the state religion, even those devil princes who have recovered their subspace essence from the Primarch, will regard it as poison, and if they are caught off guard by this One blow will also hurt the root.Honestly roll back into the subspace and spend tens of millions of years recuperating.

Calvin faced such an existence.

And he can't simply deal with it with his best devouring.

Because he is human, not a demon.

The recognition of a person's identity is the cornerstone of his soul's existence and sublimation.

If he is like the devil, he will look at the hundreds of millions of people in the empire from the perspective of food.

So how is he different from a demon?
Of course he could deceive himself that this was something the demon had digested, something he had gotten from the demon.

But people can deceive, can the heart deceive?

If it was possible, there wouldn't be so many stories in this idealistic universe.

But if not, then Calvin can only choose a path that seems to be the most impossible except quitting:

Redeem these obsessions!

Yes, Calvin, who was facing the black torrent falling from the sky in the spiritual world, is such arrogance!

Calvin, who almost submerged his golden body in the river of despair hanging upside down like the Tianhe River, didn't think about protecting himself, let alone purify the sin in front of him with the sword of order in his hand.

He would rather die here than use this simple and crude method to face these innocent lives and souls!
What is he coming to this universe for?
Isn't it defending the country?
Don't you want to give this galaxy polluted by evil a pure land?

Isn't it hoped to give this desperate universe a little bit of change and hope?
Whose home is he protecting?
Whose country is defending?
Who is his pure land reserved for?

Who is his change and hope meaningful?

If he chooses to purify the suffering in front of him in the simplest and crudest way based on his personal interests, it will benefit himself.

What's the point of all he's doing?
Can the order in his hands be regarded as the source of all good?
Is he also worthy to be a savior?

What the hell kind of soldier is he!
hypocritical!It is the greatest sin!

The black torrent called despair is still impacting his golden soul, and the tide flowing through his soul is rapidly polluting his spiritual world.

Black clouds are beginning to gather over your spiritual world, Calvin.

After shading and isolating his silver sun, which symbolizes the soul, the rotting rain symbolizing despair turned into black raindrops and poured down from the sky.

The ocean of consciousness was polluted by this rainwater, and huge waves slammed against the land in the center; and with the accumulation of rainwater, black silt representing pollution began to appear on the island-like land.

The rain in the sky is weeping, which is the embodiment in Calvin's spiritual world where the despair among trillions of souls resides.

And the eternal cancer, who originally hid a part of himself in the fruit in order to survive, seemed to see the hope of his own rebirth after witnessing Calvin's tricks!

It excitedly gathers from the scattered hiding of countless souls.

Its body was churning and urging happily like an eight-clawed black octopus in the dark clouds.

In order to make the black rainwater fall faster, and make the pollution that has already begun get closer to that point, that node that is irreversible once it reaches a certain level.

The physical signs of Calvin also began to be affected by the crisis in the spiritual world.

The tide of the warp began to surge violently on the originally calm channel of the Wraith Redeemer.

Purple and gray mixed with abstract clouds that do not belong to reality emerged around the battleship.

The murmur of the blasphemy from Chaos piercing through the Geiger field resounded in every corner of the Wraith Redeemer.

Countless creatures from the other side of reality seemed to have felt some inspiration, and they began to cheer and celebrate around the battleship Calvin was on.

Celebrating another great victory of their masters, and celebrating the birth of a new prince in their power!
