Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"Be careful!"

Stewart's expression changed drastically, and he instantly stepped forward and stood between Calvin and Hornthorne.

When Hornthorne's words fell to the ground, he was keenly aware of the flash of impatience in Calvin's still gentle eyes. The Primarch's aura appeared for a thousandth of a second like an antelope hanging its horns, and then was forcibly suppressed by the latter.

Stewart could not imagine what would happen to his brother if he refused to stop Hornthorne's challenge.

Sigismund's experience can be described as legendary, and his title as the first person under the original body has a very coincidental background in Stewart's opinion.

His ability to survive was first based on the fact that he could withstand the power of the Primarch's sword, and that Fulgrim had scruples and did not pursue him.

What about Hornthorne?

Stewart looked around, but saw no counterpart that could stop Calvin.

Don't ask whether Lao Huo can survive Calvin's thunderous blow. Even if he survives, in the context of Calvin's first official appearance, this is undoubtedly a huge insult and provocation. !

Can he withstand Calvin's next attack alive?

In other words, did Calvin have reason to allow this person who challenged his authority to escape from him alive?

Impossible... just look at the few Imperial Guards who had no intention of dissuading them, and the Honor Guards who were watching with cold eyes.

Stewart knew clearly that in the current situation, it was Hornthorne himself who was sending himself to the altar where the Primarch would appear and establish his authority. If Hornthorne were to continue speaking, he would almost certainly die under the wrath of the Primarch, becoming the sacrifice that no one wanted to happen but was bound to happen.

"Oh, scion of Guilliman, do you have something to say?"

Raising his hand and waving lightly, Captain Nicholas, the Imperial Guard Shield Captain who was about to step forward two steps behind Calvin, stopped instantly.

The details of this kind of order and prohibition against the emperor's guards made the mouth corners of everyone present twitch and their brows jump.

The owner of this hand, at this time, was suppressing his angry emotions, and once again pointed out the unequal position between the two parties with a gentle tone and unkind name.

Calvin didn't want his first contact with the start-up war group to be an unfriendly start.

But today is different from the past. The legion behind him is about to rise, and the three major religious orders of the Tribunal are also watching his every move.

If someone really tried to provoke him, in order to tarnish the image of the new legion. Then he wouldn't mind using blood to wipe the stain clean!

A rebellious Imperial Fist is dead.

Don't say that Dorn's whereabouts today are unclear. Even if he is present, it is just a clear-cut act. They are all Primarchs, and they all carry the mission of the Emperor. Doesn't Calvin have anything to fear?

"Please forgive me..."

Ignoring Calvin's provocation to call his genetic father by his first name, Stewart turned around and forcibly pressed down Hornthorne's sword hand.

The formal invitation to the fight was unilaterally suspended, and Calvin seemed to have no intention of relenting. The stalemate was so intense that everyone present was suffocated. Tens of seconds after Hornthorne made the rude remarks, everyone finally relaxed.

Saratan, the supreme administrator, took advantage of the opportunity and did not give the two parties a chance to communicate verbally. He took a step forward and stood in front of Calvin. When the latter looked at him, he changed the topic to the normal direction.

"Your Majesty... Your Highness, the welcome reception is ready. The people of Ophelia are waiting to witness your grace. Please follow my footsteps and grant them this extraordinary honor..."

"Oh, it's a good suggestion, but I'm not interested in it. Allen..."

Calvin smiled and looked at Saratan, but did not agree with his suggestion.

He waved back and greeted behind him. At the end of the Honor Guard queue, Alan Janus stepped to Calvin's side after hearing his call.

"Father……"

Allen's call was just another confirmation of his identity in the ears of the four Astartes present, but it was like a bolt from the blue in the ears of the battle sisters.

They finally knew the core conflict of this dispute, and finally, belatedly, Calvin's terrifying figure proved a terrible fact that shocked them all.

"The God-Emperor's blessing!"

Several nuns were the first to turn their heads and kneel down in the direction of Terra.

The guards of the imperial guards had explained too many facts, and they did not doubt the authenticity of Calvin's identity.

But such news suddenly appeared, and they were unprepared.

At a time when the Empire is struggling so hard, the emergence of a new Primarch is undoubtedly the most generous gift the Emperor has given to humanity.

"Alan, you come to this banquet on my behalf to thank the people of Ophelia for their enthusiasm. And I..."

Calvin looked at the supreme manager with a calm expression in front of him. He could clearly see the old man's inner anxiety under his psychic vision, but since the matter had happened, there must be an explanation.

"Waiting for your return here, you still owe me an explanation regarding those weapons..."

"Ah! It doesn't have to be like this!"

How could Saratan dare to let Calvin wait for his return in this place? He quickly waved to his back. Jane Harrington, who had just returned to the team and had no time to communicate with her colleagues, was summoned by the Holy See again and had to go back again with sour steps. To Calvin's side.

It's not because of his fragile psychological quality, but because Calvin's psychic aura was revoked just before he stepped out of the transport ship. Watching the people around him turn into Primarchs, anyone else would be at a loss. .

Fortunately, what she is best at is handling unexpected diplomatic incidents, and a few dozen seconds of dialogue is enough for him to adjust his mentality.

After taking small steps to the side of Saratan and Calvin, he unexpectedly heard the order from the Holy See to him to continue serving Calvin.

"Take His Highness Calvin to the back hall of St. Vincent's Church. I will be there soon."

After arranging the resting place for Calvin and seeing that Calvin had no objection, Saratan was relieved and nodded slightly to the giant in front of him:

"Then, please excuse me."

"Please feel free to..." Calvin nodded, then turned his attention to the other members of the welcoming team.

Several nuns had finished praying at this time, and they knelt down to Calvintan uniformly and performed the standard Aquila salute.

The head nun of the Order of the Brave Heart is the highest-ranking of the six major orders stationed in the Holy Hermitage.

On behalf of everyone, she extended an invitation to Calvin to visit the Holy Hermitage. Then, after receiving the latter's consent, she nodded slightly and turned around to leave.

(The Seer Monastery of Terra and the Holy Hermit Monastery of Ophelia 7 are jointly listed as the two headquarters of the Battle Sisters.

The six major orders of the Sisters of Battle are stationed in both places.

However, due to their different fighting styles, the main forces of Silver Shroud, Ebony Holy Grail, and Holy Blood Rose, whose fighting styles tend to be in the paragon mode, are stationed in Terra;

Representatives of fanatics who advocate sacrifice for redemption—Bloody Rose, Martyred Saint, and Brave Heart—station their main forces at Ophelia 7.

Therefore, when the battle nuns who appeared in Ophelia expressed their collective stance, because of their status as landowners, their representatives must be from the latter three orders. )
