Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

The function of this chain made Calvin feel helpless.

The key point of the chain called "The Rope of Helios" lies in the "rope", and if Calvin understood correctly, the "rope" requires a living creature to provide traction power for the vehicle. Only then can it be used.

This "rope" is considerate, and its target has changed from a living thing to a mechanical device. It has two functions in terms of use:

First, control. "Helios' Rope" can break the operating authority of most mechanical creations known to Calvin, as long as it can move and belong to the ranks of vehicles.

Second, whipping. "Helios" can use supernatural energy to bypass the defense layer and directly activate, repair, or overload or destroy the power core of the mechanical device.

Apart from these two functions, Calvin can only treat it as a normal chain.

Like the pocket watch that currently only has basic functions, it is both useful but not of much use.

Calvin did not put too much energy into them, because on the third day after passing through the Crucible Star, the fleet was approaching the planned first supply point in the Ultimate Star Territory-Plesdia.

This is a planet labeled as a death world by the empire. The lead-gray weathered rocks all over the planet appear lifeless. The huge storm caused by the abnormal gravity of the star is visible to the naked eye in space and persists all year round.

Death and desolation are the only impressions this planet brings to all outsiders.

It had no agriculture of its own, which did not surprise Calvin.

In fact, it doesn't even have its own industry or mining system. All the materials on this planet come from outside transportation.

The reason that allows the Empire to do this at all costs is that there is an Astartes company stationed on this planet:

An Astartes Chapter founded in the "Second Founding Event" in the 33rd millennium - the Sons of Guilliman.

Of course there was no way to supply a fleet here, but the Inquisition was already prepared.

In fact, Calvin's fleet had already seen the material transport fleet prepared for itself as soon as it jumped out of the subspace.

But what surprised him was that these fleets did not dock at Presidia's star port as planned to wait for the handover of supplies to them.

Instead, it was floating alone outside the orbit of Presdia, under the surveillance of the entire planet's defense system.

After the fleet appeared at the galaxy jump point, it immediately initiated contact requests with the surrounding areas. With Presdia's delay in responding, Calvin took the lead in getting in touch with the fleet transporting supplies.

"You didn't apply to the star port for docking? Or is it that you don't have the imperial documents in your hands that are enough to convince the owner here?"

Calvin did not consider other reasons at the first time, but blamed the problem on possible work oversights in the trial court.

But the imperial colonel who was in charge of commanding this transport fleet obviously had other ideas. According to his story, the behavior of the owner here far exceeded Calvin's traditional impression of the Ultramarines.

They didn't seem to care about the Inquisition and Terra, even though the charter captains had taken out all the legal procedures and orders from the Inquisition.

However, the Sons of Guilliman Chapter stationed here still did not allow them to dock and refused to give any explanation for this.

Calvin did not accept all of Captain Charter's words, but his direct contact with Presidia later confirmed the latter's statement.

"We have not received orders from Macragge, so we are sorry that we cannot provide services to you here."

The Astartes warriors in the video signal are tall, with complex and gorgeous decorations on their blue and white Mark IV power armor.

In the process of communicating with Tybos, who was also an Astartes, the other party didn't even bother to take off his helmet.

Even though Tybos had provided all the authorizations from the Administrative Council and the Eye of the Empire, the Sons of Guilliman still refused the former's request to borrow the starport.

"Should we call Macragge?" Tybos asked Calvin, who had not shown up, after cutting off communication with Presidia.

"It's not necessary, our time is too tight. Let's rendezvous with the transport fleet first, and then use frigates and airships to transport them."

Calvin shook his head and responded to Fleet Admiral Tybus.

He really didn't have time to get entangled here right now, but the reason that made him give up continuing to communicate was not time, but his concerns about the Ultramarines, the biggest local local snake.

I have long heard of the prestige of the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar, and I have also heard of the extreme star field known as a country within a country, which has its own special national conditions.

But if you don’t really experience it, you have no right to speak.

Calvin also experienced such an experience, and finally realized that Terra's authority was so fragile in the Far Eastern territory of the empire.

"Ultramarines...sons of Guilliman." Calvin looked at the bright starlight belonging to the five hundred worlds of Ultramar in the distant starry sky and thought silently in his heart.

In the center of the world-group of an empire known for its wealth, power, civilization, and stability, Robert Guilliman, the thirteenth son of the Emperor, known for his brilliance and brilliance, was resting in Macragge's Sanctuary of Glory. among.

He didn't know whether this arrogance was specific to the Sons of Guilliman, or whether it was a symptom of the Ultramarines warband system as a whole.

Calvin was destined to go there.

Whether it was due to the agreement with Stuart, Captain of the Ultramarines stationed on Ophelia 7, or as the leader of the Inquisition and the founder of the newly born Eye of the Empire.

He needs to work with this group born from the "Code of Astartes" while trying to change the current difficult situation of the empire and make a difference in the cause of the entire human empire:

In theory, it abides by the provisions of the Holy Code and is impeccable, but in fact it is the largest local military group in the empire and has achieved basic mutual understanding and consensus.

"Loyal and straightforward border guards? Or a local warlord group with deep roots and a big tail?"

The original body squinted his eyes and examined the direction of Presdia. His tall body sat on the throne at the highest point of the bridge, stroking the hilt of the Imperial Truth in his hand, and did not say another word for a long time.

The entire bridge seemed to feel the influence of the original body's mood, and the dullness like low air pressure spread silently throughout the entire command deck.

The Honor Guards stood quietly behind him with their eyes and noses in mind;

Fleet Admiral Tabers stood alone in front of the holographic projection platform, without saying a word for a long time;

The chief craftsman, Bishop Klein, was immersed in the servo movements in front of her, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her;

The staff on the staff deck and liaison deck were unconsciously cautious when they had to go to the command deck, unwilling to make any unexpected noise;

The sons of Calvin in the training hall seemed to feel the same way and felt the anger that the father of genes was building.

They all stopped from their training and dormancy, instinctively clenched the weapons at hand and roared silently...

"Haha..." Calvin laughed at himself in a low voice. It's really not a good thing to be in a high position for a long time.

The clanging sword cry came from the throne, and the original body said, "Go back and rest." The moment Tabos turned around, he strode away from the command deck with the "Imperial Truth" in his hand.

After all, he decided to observe again and did not make hasty evaluations and judgments about the Ultramarines.

But no matter what, the current encounter made Calvin realize the difference between this place and other strategic directions of the empire on the first day he came to the Extreme Star Territory.
