Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Several strike cruisers belonging to the Chapter Astartes set out from Amara and, after weeks of trekking, arrived at the fortress world called Korkash.

This place was once built as a fortress by the forces of Chaos. The desolate land of the planet is full of traces of defensive fortresses made of human bones and steel by demon blacksmiths.

But after the battle in the Lyak sector, it was obviously abandoned by the demons of Chaos.

The Inquisition also discovered this place during the subsequent cleanup and recovery operations. After a thorough cleanup, Kolkash is now in ruins, without any trace of life.

The spacecraft began to patrol the orbit of Colkash, and the detection array on the fleet was turned on on a large scale, repeatedly searching for any suspicious traces.

Calvin and Marduk were sitting in the front hall of the bridge at this time. This place was located in the center of the detection array at the bow of the ship and the psychic choir in the dome. It was the best place to get feedback immediately.

"Stay alert. One-third of the fleet must be outside the gravitational restraints."

Calvin issued clear orders to subsequent members of the fleet to prevent the tragedy Marduk had foreseen in his prophecy.

As for the fleet members responsible for detection in orbit, their weapon arrays have also been deployed at this time and are in a combat-ready state that can be fired at any time.

"The Shield of Order reports that the 15 standard working cycles of the auspicious instrument have been completed, and there are no suspicious targets on the surface!"

"continue."

Calvin did not respond, and the adjutant behind him confirmed the next order in the communication channel.

"The Hammer of Order reports that there are no suspicious targets in the mantle!"

"Dawn Fire Report, there are no suspicious targets in the satellite and system!"

The communications were connected in real time, but Calvin still sat motionless on the anti-gravity seat.

Under Marduk's inquiring gaze, Calvin did not show any doubt at him, but gently tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers wrapped in steel armor.

Finally, when the air on the bridge was about to solidify, the strike cruiser "Blood Reborn" from the Lamenters Chapter sent a different message:

"The planet's gravitational period has been calculated. After repeated calculations, it has been found that there is an anomaly in Kolkash's gravity. It is initially suspected that a suspicious object is deployed in the center of the earth!"

what to do?

Marduk looked in the direction of Calvin. That demigod was the absolute leader here.

His preaching tours over the years have not been ineffective. A huge "holy war" army composed of pilgrims and the Imperial Guard has been forming an army in the Stormwind Star Territory for more than ten years.

But the changes in the war in the direction of Orps came so fast that he had no chance to react in the whole process.

By the time he gathered his people and achieved the unity of the legal principles of "holy war" within the state church, Calvin, who was known as the supreme lord of the empire, had suddenly appeared in the world, leaving the great confessor with no room to participate.

The prophecy in him that came from a hundred years ago has completely lost its original appearance;

Today, Marduk has lost the thread of his destiny, and the huge power he accumulated to complete his mission has no choice but to stagnate with him in the Storm Star Territory.

This huge expeditionary army, consisting of tens of millions of soldiers and civilians, is currently temporarily settling in the center of the Orps sector.

Calvin welcomed them.

In the context of the Hassan sector and Leyak, both of which are in dire straits and in need of population replenishment and colonization.

Calvin wrote that he was a guest as soon as he came, and he welcomed these wealthy elites who had received at least a secondary education.

Among this huge alien population, only a few Astra Militarum were recruited and allowed to accompany Marduk and participate in this operation.

And this part of the force, in front of thousands of Astartes warriors and millions of truly elite Tindaros legions, has no possibility of occupying a dominant force.

"Prepare for war! The fleet has entered level one combat status."

Calvin's voice came down from the throne above, and as his order was conveyed to the entire fleet, except for the Shield of Order, which had its shields fully opened, the other three warships in orbit were increasing their engine power in order to break free. Bound by planetary gravity.

"Inform the Shield of Order and prepare the double-stage cyclone torpedo. Within half an hour, I will see the destruction of Colkash!"

Calvin issued the order again, his eyes wandering on the galaxy map in front of him, and finally locked on the asteroid belt on the outer edge of the galaxy.

The celestial bodies there are pulled by the gravitational pull of a nearby red giant star and are moving in the direction of Colkash at a very large orbit.

Calvin, who has experienced several naval battles, has enough experience. If other forces really exist, then looking at the underground situation in the entire galaxy, there is only the possibility of hiding there.

The fact was just as he expected.

Shortly after Calvin gave the order to recharge the main cannon on the bow of the Angel of Punishment, alien spacecraft began to appear in the asteroid belt outside Colkash, just as he expected.

It was a fleet composed of four crescent-shaped spaceships, one large and four small. The whole body was shining with a strange green light. It was approaching the fleet from the asteroid belt with agility and speed that Calvin had never seen before.

Their speed is so fast that even the naked eye can see the accelerating trajectory of the spacecraft;

Their weapons were so weird that the leading warship began to spread an unknown terror at a long distance, causing all the crew members in the human fleet, except Calvin's ship, to feel great fear.

The arc-shaped energy is like a long whip, extending from the alien battleship to the Shield of Order, which is responsible for destroying the planet. The distorted particle field has a wonderful effect, squeezing and distorting the void shield of the battleship in a short time.

"Go forward! Buy time for the Shield of Order!" Calvin ordered loudly.

After receiving the order, the captain of the Angel of Punishment turned around and issued more radical instructions to the crew:

"Speed ​​up the engine! Block their firing range!"

The battleship's engine violently erupted with bright tail flames, and on the silver and black side decks, the light spear array began to fire counterattacks at the aliens.

After reorganization, other members of the fleet were not far behind. After a few breaths, their artillery fire also participated in blocking the aliens.

However, the blocking of these artillery fires failed. The unknown parameters of the alien ship caused a huge deviation in the servo's calculation of the advance amount on the warship;

The increasingly faster acceleration of the alien spacecraft made the results of each recalculation erroneous again.

"How can they be so fast!"

The mechanical priests on the battleship exclaimed in disbelief.

The green trajectories drawn by those extremely accelerated alien spaceships have exceeded the extreme value of the ship's own gravity based on the strength of the carbon-based biological flesh!

That is by no means a technical characteristic of carbon-based organisms!

He issued a stern warning to Calvin, who also understood the message behind the Mechanicus' warning.

Since these alien civilizations do not belong to the category of carbon-based organisms, there is no need to release the many conventional attack methods possessed by the fleet.

"Keep firing the light spear, prepare the gravitational field capture device! Prepare the macro cannon!"

Calvin reminded the captain below to prepare to destroy the enemy's warship with the most basic physical damage when the distance is sufficient.

The target of the alien is also very clear.

At the moment when the fire window leading to the Shield of Order was blocked, the main guns directly in front of these rapidly approaching alien warships were activated one after another.

Four green beams of light instantly hit behind the void shield of the Punishment Angel. Under Calvin's clear perception, ancient stone gates were passing through the isolation of space and appeared in various parts of the Punishment Angel's ship!

"The Rebound Gang is ready! We have guests!"

Calvin picked up the war hammer next to the throne, and while the psychic energy was stirring, the legion mode was activated again.
