Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"It's our turn..."

Feeling the pulse of the initial psychic beacon, people stood up in the inner hall of the Calvin Fortress monastery.

Through the bulletproof glass on the upper floors of the fortress, Calvin looked towards the direction where Saratan died. Hornthorne in the hall looked at Calvin's huge body, his eyes still filled with shock when he saw him for the first time.

But after hearing Calvin's words, he also looked in the direction of the City of Divine Grace with condolences and remembrance.

Beyond the clouds at the end of the sky above the City of God's Grace, the Ortel satellite 9 where the Imperial Fist is stationed has been quietly in orbit synchronized with the city below for a full week under the adjustment of the anti-gravity engine.

When Calvin, deep in the fortress monastery, felt the psychic beacon take effect, in his spiritual world where he remained in a meditative state, the signal of the approaching war spread like ripples throughout the entire Gray Knights' legion.

All the Gray Knights were awakened from hibernation, silently wearing their iconic silver holy shield power armor, and marching with heavy steps into the hall that was temporarily transformed and used for large-scale teleportation ceremonies.

The huge hall was presided over by the mechanical priests on board the Angel of Punishment, and the temporarily constructed psychic transmission array was ready at this time.

The energy connection to the main reactor of the Imperial Fists' Fortress Monastery has been completed.

Under the full output of the huge plasma reactor matrix, the energy runes on the huge metal silver plates with a diameter of a hundred meters were shining.

At the seats in the surrounding corners responsible for guiding this torrent of energy, members of the psychic choir wearing white robes were already in place.

They are the most important link in Calvin's plan. The main force of the Gray Knights released by the large-scale teleportation launched by them is also the most important and decisive force in the entire plan.

With Calvin's new ability to see faith, they will rely on the psychic beacon array coming from the surface to conduct a large-scale transmission over a long distance.

Relying on the guidance of these beacons, the Gray Knights went straight to the locations where the power of faith was most concentrated in these preaching grounds.

The traitors corrupted by the demon there will become the first batch of targets.

The signal strength on the surface of Ofelia 7 has reached its peak. In the fortress monastery on Alvinus 9, the psychic choir temporarily mobilized from the Angel of Punishment also began to sing.

Thousands of psykers who had been jointly trained by the Imperial Star Torch and the Inquisition, and who had been bound to the Emperor's soul, chanted the holy name of the Lord of Mankind in unison, cursing the evil spirits of the warp;

The huge will echoed with the star torch of Terra in the distance under the integration and amplification of the psychic amplification matrix, and then slowly pressed down on Ofelia 7 like a giant hand.

This is a "man-made miracle" created by the knowledge accumulated by mankind through thousands of years of research on subspace and belief;

As the price of this "miracle on earth", every time it is performed, one in a thousand psykers must burn out their egos and become one with the Emperor himself forever.

What a sacred honor this is, and what a cruel price... Under the shroud of this huge and pure power, all the hidden evil spirits and subspace connections on Ophelia 7 were suppressed. The originally abundant power of chaos was like a receding tide, making these demons become increasingly irritable and weak while sensing the danger of instinct.

"The Emperor's blessing!"

"I am the hammer that purifies the world!"

A dazzling psychic light flashed under the signal of Calvin's raised war hammer.

Their colleagues in the choir have calmed down the violent subspace wave for them, and the three hundred Gray Knights are naturally unwilling to be left behind.

In response to Calvin's war cry, the Legion's will spontaneously activated. Without the protection of the Geller force field, they bravely stepped forward and plunged into the portal to subspace from the real universe.

The demon on the ground at the core of the City of Divine Grace was still surprised by the changes in front of him, but the soul chanting sound coming from Ao Weijiu had already aroused his instinctive disgust.

The purpose of the new force on the human side is not clear yet, but behind these choruses that he hates, it has seen the fluctuations caused by the teleportation initiated by the Gray Knight.

The moment he sensed the fluctuations of the large-scale teleportation spell, this descendant of Xin Liezhi instantly found the most important frequency among the countless fluctuations.

It releases itself and all the power residing on its dependents in an attempt to block human attempts to save this place.

Inside and outside the City of Divine Grace, thousands of the Evil God's followers have been inspired; while their corrupted souls have become slaves of the great devil, they have also become victims of the network where it casts spells at any time. network node.

These traitors all sensed the demon's order at some moment, and uniformly looked at the void above their heads with their turbid eyes;

Tens of thousands of souls were sacrificed in an instant as the price of spell counterattack. The pain and resentment when they were crushed were intertwined by various evil forces, and then faced the oncoming silver torrent.

But the Legion's Will, a special product that can only exist based on Calvin, is obviously a new product that Xin Liezhi has never seen before.

The Gray Knight's already solid will, after being integrated with Calvin's divine soul, cannot be shaken by such frivolous witchcraft.

The battle between the two wills in the subspace determined the winner in an instant. The filthy evil power was like ice and snow under the sun, dissipating and melting when it touched the essence of the Gray Knight.

Among the thousands of mission squares in the City of Divine Grace, 351 large squares were confirmed to have traces of chaos pollution.

At this moment, the imperial subjects in 301 of the 351 squares watched helplessly as a silver beam of light fell from the sky, pointing exactly at the high platform in the center of the square.

boom!

A huge spiritual halo spread from the spot. Under the energy aftermath of the Gray Knight's appearance, these evil men were incinerated by the power from the Emperor and became torches of humanity filled with silver flames.

"Come on! He's only one person!"

There are also rebels responsible for the escort who try to fight back. Because they have enough martial arts knowledge, they can be fearless enough when facing the Gray Knights.

A large number of rebels braved the flow of people and surrounded the high platform. Incited by them and the hidden corrupters, the ignorant crowd began to besiege the lone Gray Knight.

But the hell laser guns and explosive bolt guns in their hands cannot even kill their own heavy-armed units with one shot. When facing the real elites of the Astartes, how can they attack these Gray Knights? What about posing a threat?

Countless red lasers and stubby bolts were fired at the Gray Knight, but they could only leave shallow scorch marks and minor scratches on the inch-thick ceramic armor of the Holy Shield-type power armor.

The 2.7-meter-tall Gray Knights slowly stood up from the high platform under concentrated firepower. Their strength and agility exceeded mortal imagination. They instantly disappeared from the sight of the rebels.

Then, under the violent swing of the 3-meter-long Heavenly Punishment Halberd weighing hundreds of kilograms, dozens of rebels around him were cut off in one blow!

The scattered limbs and broken arms flying all over the sky, and the cheap blood like sewage, deterred the ignorant mortals, but the corrupted rebels maintained their chaotic fanaticism and continued to charge towards the tall silver-armored giant.

Against the background of the lasers and bullets flying in the sky, the tall Emperor Angel disappeared again. The heavy and dense footsteps like a war hammer and the crowd plowed open like fallen crops in the rice fields pointed out the direction of his charge.

The Gray Knight, wielding a huge halberd with one hand, killed the passing rebels. In his free left hand, the twin-mounted bolt gun that truly belonged to the Astartes also started the roar of the Ohm Messiah.

A complete, 24 mm or larger volley warhead was fired from the thick to terrifying barrel of the gun. The rotating warhead was just flying out of the muzzle due to the interweaving of gunpowder and rifling, and six white tail flames were ignited from the tail of the turret bullet.

At least 4 or more rebels wearing carapace were penetrated by a explosive bomb, adding to the number of broken limbs flying in the sky under the huge kinetic energy;

Hundreds of well-equipped defense troops were shot down by the Gray Knights' precise bursts, resulting in an inconspicuous achievement for this bullet chain's violent missiles.

They cannot surround each other because their mobility capabilities are not at the same level at all;

It cannot be destroyed, because even if it can focus fire in a short period of time, the holy shield power armor still has terrifying defensive capabilities against the weapons installed by the mortal army.

The mood of collapse began to spread rapidly among the rebels. Under the suppression of the Gray Knights in hundreds of venues, countless people threw down their weapons after losing their will to fight and tried to escape among the crowd.

But this is also a luxury hope, because from the moment they pick up the weapon, their body information is captured one by one by the servo on the power armor.

In the pupil projection behind the silver-blue highlighted eyepieces of the Gray Knights, their mark is suspended above the chaotic crowd of people with a highlighted red mark.

The instigators are also unable to escape, because even changing the clothes of other civilians is of no use, the smell of rot in their souls is still so obvious.

So much so that since their arrival, these Gray Knights have already screened them out from the crowd. And in the subsequent pursuit of victory, he killed them one by one with a cold and steady rhythm.

This is the real force of the Astartes to suppress mortals, and it is also the reason why the former's number is less than one billionth of the latter's, but it still firmly occupies the top position in the empire's armed sequence.

This is also the real battlefield that a Gray Knight team with a maximum strength of 20 people will face when Chaos pollution really occurs in the empire's territory.

When the news that the initial targeted beheading was completed was confirmed one by one in the will of the Legion and summarized in Calvin's mind.

The second wave of power projection in the plan - the Tindaros Legion affiliated to the legion and the two start-up battle groups stationed on Ophelia 7 also began to ride on their respective large transport boats and airdrop pods in Ophelia. From the end of Philia 7's sky comes a rain of destruction representing judgment.

The Holy Hermitage monasteries at the two poles of the planet had long been deserted. The battle sisters of the six major monasteries had received clear instructions from Calvin as early as the second after Saratan's death.

The anti-air defense system on the surface of Ophelia 7 was completely taken over by them. Under the background that the great demon Mephisto transferred all his deployment to the City of Divine Grace, this kind of confrontation where the enemy retreats and we advance Internal military control, under the leadership of senior officers such as the nun, did not give the local defense forces any room to refuse.

The command of the entire air defense circle fell into the hands of the empire, and the replacement and handover of power was carried out quietly and smoothly.

But is that all?

In other words, did the Chaos Demon's painstaking efforts to infiltrate and contaminate Ophelia 7 simply fail?

Calvin himself is looking for Mephisto, the great demon who disappeared from the celebration in the early days of Advent.

His brain, which carries and handles the entire ground military operation, is summarizing the progress of the troops everywhere, while he himself is walking deep in the church of the City of Divine Grace.

The Gray Knights are clearing out the Chaos forces in the remaining mission grounds, and the two Astartes are also attacking the rebels inside and outside the church city with the communication and cooperation of the Inquisition.

After their arrival, the Tindaros Army marched towards major venues throughout the City of Divine Grace.

Under the leadership of Cardinal Clarence and his colleagues, the last loyalist who was deliberately "exiled" to Orvax before Saratan's death, the Legion not only calmed the emotions of the crowd, but also suppressed all riots and crimes. happened.

The turbulent hearts and minds of the tens of millions of imperial subjects throughout the City of Divine Grace are also firmly but slowly restoring order under the legacy left by these Saratans.

What else?

Calvin instinctively felt that he had missed some important details. He tried hard to recall everything he had encountered since his arrival on Ophelia 7, trying to find the devil's hidden foreshadowing and malice from these memories.

Turning the corner of a cloister, Calvin unconsciously walked into a small confessional chapel.

The decorations and the placement of indoor icons here are not high-end. From the information displayed in these details, Calvin concluded that this was a middle-level bureaucrat who belonged to the non-clergy of the state religion.

And his guess was confirmed later:

After he turned around the emperor's icon in the hall's front hall, a member of the Holy Light Brotherhood was standing at the door of the atrium.

He was facing outward with an angry look, still maintaining the fighting posture he had in life.

The warrior's entire body was in a lifelike state. He was obviously struck by witchcraft at the soul level and lost his soul at a certain moment in the battle.

Calvin could imagine the rage of betrayal and hatred of Chaos he felt in his final moments.

He slowly walked up to the warrior, lowered his head, and stretched out his left hand to close his eyes.

But this warrior's body has obviously been subjected to a powerful spell curse. The moment Calvin touched his eyelashes, his entire body was like a frozen sand sculpture, silently deforming under a light touch. The ground disintegrated and turned into dust.

Bang!

The weapon in his hand lost its last support and fell to the smooth floor of the hall with a loud sound under Calvin's gaze.

And after Calvin's attention was attracted by the sound, when he saw the spear, he instantly remembered an important piece of information in his mind!

Heavenly punishment stance weapon!

It was the disappearance of that batch of weapons that started all these events!

Prayer ceremony! The 7 missing cardinals!

right! King's Hall!

Thinking of this, Calvin became nervous. He had realized the problem that he had ignored.

And it was this huge omission that became the last shadow hidden under the light after the disappearance of the great demon Mephisto.

Calvin walked quickly there, notifying all the nearby troops while deducing all kinds of information about the King's Hall in his mind at high speed.

He had a premonition:

Mephisto is there, waiting for Calvin to arrive.

As the place where everything begins, it should also be the place where all these disasters end...
