Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"The ascent to subspace is complete, 30 seconds to jump out!"

The clear voice of the navigator came from the dome through the radio. The commanders of each deck unit on the bridge were highly concentrated after hearing the sound.

There was less than a minute left before entering the battlefield. As the leading force of the fleet, they had the obligation to unleash the Emperor's wrath on the traitors as soon as possible.

"The plasma engine has been started! The subspace engine has a 15-second countdown to shutdown."

Chief Engineer Klein's voice sounded through the loudspeaker, indicating that preparations in the direction of the engine room were in place.

The battleship's power unit is preparing for real space navigation, and the charging of the weapon unit has also met the initial conditions.

"Plasma engine energy supply is sufficient, waiting for orders!" the person in charge of the energy storage node in the middle section of the battleship reported loudly.

"The weapon unit is ready for charging! The secondary energy storage unit is activated!

5.4.3.2.1...Charging completed, waiting for instructions! "

The weapon commander stared at the screen in front of him and reported loudly when the progress bar was completed.

"Calibrate the nearest target, and after the first salvo, all units can fire freely!"

Tabers, who was sitting on the captain's seat, calmly issued unfamiliar instructions.

He is also in the process of adapting to the operation of battleships, especially the Apocalypse class, which uses pure energy as its firepower output method.

"The energy distribution on the bow is completed! The Nova Cannon is on standby! Waiting for the calibration parameters to be entered!

The ship's spine light spear has been charged, waiting to calibrate parameters! "——The person in charge of the weapons deck stared at the instruments in front of him, and he did not forget to remind the bridge loudly.

"Energy access is allowed! The plasma engine function is activated at full power, and the light spear array is charged and ready!"

Captain Tebos completed the last instructions before the battle, and then looked at the galaxy holographic projection constructed by the auspicious device in front of the throne:

When the battleship officially jumped out of the subspace, the enemy ship in the orbit of the Ophia galaxy, which was originally marked as a dark red unknown unit, was instantly identified and imaged under the scanning of the detection array, and was displayed in green with the holographic projection. Completely opposite scarlet highlight!

"Warning! Multiple hostile units found, coordinates 3557.719, coordinates...

The detection array is scanning..." Against the background of the meditator's voice on the battleship, Calvin calmly gave the order:

"Identify!"

The voiceprint identification program passed Calvin's authority, and the meditator enlarged the picture of the enemy ship on the holographic projection.

After seeing the huge chaos mark and the Hydra logo on the battleship "Lost Truth", everyone knew the identity of the enemy:

"Alpha..." Tabos read.

Behind him, Calvin on the throne had slowly stood up.

"The descendants of Alpharius, the Astartes who specialize in asymmetric warfare, are interesting..."

Calvin frowned and looked at the fleet in front of him. The limited information about this legion in the empire and some memories that he could not explain were retrieved from his brain.

He turned his head and looked at the Honor Guard behind him. The recruits' specialized training for the Astartes had just begun, and they were not suitable for being sent to the battlefield now.

But fortunately, with the powerful assistant of Legion Will, many tacit understandings that took time to achieve in other legions have become as simple as instinct in the Gray Knights.

"Then give them a chance..." Calvin gathered his thoughts and used psychic communication to notify the troops on standby in the battleship barracks:

+ Notify the Victory Hall that the combat target is Category A. Replace with physical ammunition and prepare for gang-hopping combat. +

+Received, combat target category A, replaced with physical ammunition. +Commander Alan Janus responded.

At the same time, the commanders headed by Erenjanus also began to use themselves as communication nodes, delegating specialized tactics for the Astartes to the squad level.

Under the prompts of the Arbiter, each team began to purposefully convert the ammunition into physical ammunition, the Kraken II armor-piercing projectile, which is specifically used for armor-breaking.

Melee weapons that originally tended to use psychic strikes also temporarily closed their psychic circuits upon receiving notification and replaced them with dynamic decomposition force fields.

Calvin watched the troops change equipment in an orderly manner through his psychic vision, and was very satisfied with their efficiency.

But before he could feel happy, he began to worry about the enemy they would face.

This was the first battle of the First Battle Group after reorganization, and he had no doubts about the abilities of these Gray Knights.

However, considering that the birth of every Gray Knight is so difficult, he is extremely reluctant to waste these precious troops in battles with units of the same level.

Do you want to help them again? In other words, how can we help them add a decisive bargaining chip to their already strong enough strength?

Calvin's brows rose slightly, and after a moment of tangle, he made a slightly difficult decision.

+Upload the target characteristic data, please check it+

An abrupt instruction, along with some unexplained memories in Calvin's mind, arrived in the mind of Alan Janus, who was in charge of the first battle group, the moment it was uploaded to the Legion's will.

+Received+

As the commander of this quasi-combat group, Allen is the highest-level information node.

After he instinctively responded to Calvin's words, he turned his mind to the information group that Calvin uploaded.

The information contained in this spiritual force was so rich that he could clearly detect its difference before even touching it.

And when he touched his mind to the group information, the pictures that came to him and the memories that seemed to be immersive made him even more surprised.

This is the battle memory of an Astartes, the memory of all the training, teaching, and the most critical actual combat that an Astartes monk has participated in since he stepped off the transformation operating table.

In these memories, Allen can clearly detect their bodies that are different from his own, as well as the completely unfamiliar tactical concepts and ideas they implement in a special legion cultural background.

And from these Astartes, who did not have any marks, but wore the iconic Mark III power armor of the Great Crusade era, and completed various impossible tasks under repeated infiltrations and assassinations, Allen came to the conclusion that An extremely absurd inference:

"This is... the memory of an Alpha Legion soldier?"

"..." After fully experiencing these memories, Allen fell silent.

There were so many questions that he didn't know where to start.

"Is the technology of the Tribunal so advanced? And when did we conduct special research on Alpha?"

All kinds of doubts caused by this information lingered in his heart, but it was their genetic father who gave this information. If Calvin wasn't willing to explain, he couldn't get to the bottom of it...
