Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 426 Black and Red, the Plan in the Shadows (12) Coming - Part 1

"Will he respond to us?" This is the biggest question in the minds of Calvin and Tabers.

The camera zoomed back to five minutes ago. After Tabos sent a communication to the black ship in the name of the Endless Jihad, Calvin had already arrived at the battleship's transfer hall and started waiting.

The battleship's energy circuit is ready, and the psychic choir, under the guidance of the Astropath, is doing its best to calm the subspace turbulence ahead.

The original body closed his eyes and entered a state of spiritual vision. With his spiritual power that could not be described as majestic, he once again increased the power of the choir and looked in the direction of Ballog.

Therefore, the Perseverance Jihad deep in the subspace is like a suddenly lit up lighthouse. While continuously emitting dazzling brilliance forward, it is also searching in the endless darkness and waiting for the faint starlight to appear.

At that time, the Space Wolves had just jumped out of Ballog's asteroid belt, and the Black Templars and Grand Inquisitor Lisetta were also preparing for the upcoming rebound war.

When the announcement from the Relentless Crusade sounded again on the black ship that was in chaos, no one except Gray Knight Alvin noticed this announcement message, which was no different from before.

But Alvin noticed it, because although there was no new content in this communication, the wording felt familiar to him. The wording used in this announcement from the Relentless Jihad was so weird that when he habitually read it over and over again, he noticed the hidden information in the regular pronunciation.

That is a set of keys, and this set of keys corresponds to the Interceptor tactics that were created when the Gray Knights switched to leapfrog operations in the squad branch.

What do they want to express? What does this secret language point to?

Alvin looked at the crowd waiting in front of him, and he was the quietest one in the chaos.

He recalled all the tactical training he had gone through as a soldier, returning to Titan in between constant campaigns. And the focus of his thinking was on the memory of the interceptor.

All kinds of tactical skills related to the interceptor and the combat experience in this position flashed through his mind. After repeated reflection, the only thing he could recognize as useful in the current environment was the interceptor. Their iconic equipment - the teleportation beacon.

Transmit beacon? What do they want to do?

Alvin quietly informed his comrades with psychic energy, and a Gray Knight quietly walked into the bridge a few seconds later and handed a set of two psychic transmission beacons into his hands.

Then what? What is he going to do?

Alvin looked at the equipment in his hands and speculated on Calvin's intentions. But no matter what these comrades who have never met before want, all he can do now is execute it.

Obscure spiritual energy fluctuations flowed in the two beacons, and after the energy lines on the gauntlets were temporarily connected to the beacons, this transmission of spiritual energy became more conspicuous in the subspace.

He originally wanted to continue observing the beacon to deduce the intentions of his comrades, but the appearance of the Glory Queen belonging to the Space Wolves interrupted all his thoughts.

Whatever it is! If only it could change this damn situation!

Under the cold and violent spiritual energy projection of the Hrafnkel, which was as cold and violent as an ancient behemoth, Alvin felt the sting in his soul and insisted on transmitting the spiritual energy in his hands.

Under the influence of this space behemoth that left the reflection of Leman Russ's soul, the psychic beacon in his hand was like a candle that was extinguished at any time, announcing his existence to the distance with a faint light...

He could see a nova-like dazzling light erupting from Hrafnkel, and the thickest ray of light in the light was pointing at the place in front of him.

Before Alvin could even shout a warning of "Be careful!", the leader of the Space Wolves had already appeared in front of everyone.

There is no dialogue, because there is no misunderstanding of each other’s will;

There was no announcement, because there was only deep-seated hatred between the two forces.

The bronze giant, which was over 2.8 meters tall, jumped towards the center of the crowd the moment he emerged from the storm. Twelve equally tall wolf guards behind him raised their swords and brought killing to all resistance. people.

The Black Templar in the crowd had no time to react. The two leading warriors were attacked with blood by the bronze giant, becoming the first result of the power ax in his hand.

A subsequent champion swordsman finally reacted and fought with the angry Ragnar while blocking with the long sword fixed in his hand. However, within the next two breaths, he was beaten by the roaring The alpha wolf beheaded him on the spot.

The rest of the Black Templars were also besieged by the Wolf Guards, leaving a fatal void in front of Grand Inquisitor Lisetta. So far, no one stood between Ragnar and his goal.

"Alvin!" Lisetta's psychic voice called to her comrades.

The Gray Knight Arbiter, who knew she was outmatched, did not disappoint her and walked out of the crowd with a halberd in one hand. His four comrades also held swords in their hands, blocking the way forward of the Wolf King...

"Is he worthy of our trust?" The same question appeared to different people, but their vision at this time was the same as watching the war in Jamorro.

The former voice came from Calvin, and the person he was referring to was the Gray Knight Arbiter who had not returned to Titan for a long time;

The latter voice came from a group of uninvited guests hidden on the outskirts of the star sector. They first had a brief and not so friendly "alternative" contact with Calvin on an unnamed planet in the Storm Star field decades ago. Later, he followed the guidance of his prophet and traveled thousands of miles to come here, but he fell into a habitual hesitation before he was about to find his target.

"He deserves our trust." The same answer appeared in the two battleships under the starry sky. However, behind this same answer were completely different considerations.

Tybos has returned from the Astropath deck, and the psionic choir of the Endless Crusade has been activated again. The energy circuit of the entire battleship is tilting towards the direction of the teleportation array, but Calvin is standing on the teleportation array. waiting.

Waiting, waiting for the candle that should light up in the darkness.

Waiting, waiting for the signal that can guide him to break through the obstacles and cross the distant space.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

Just when Calvin thought that the beacon would not appear, a weak candle appeared in the endless darkness, and the spiritual energy fluctuations and location points contained in the candle were exactly what he was expecting. !

"Activate!" Calvin condensed his will, relying on the entire Relentless Jihad, and projected his existence towards the distant Balgoro.

"Start!" The mechanical priest pressed the switch in his hand at the moment he received the signal, and the teleportation array, which had already been charged, amplified the power of the psychic choir and the original body, and then bloomed brightly in the subspace. !

Countless creatures in the subspace are fleeing in panic, because the light from the Relentless Jihad is too hot, and the distant reality and the space of the supreme sky begin to violently deform, and then are forcibly twisted and connected under the control of Xuanzhiyuan's power. !

Buzz!

The huge roar in the soul level spreads silently, and the turbulence of the subspace is driven by the original body's unprecedented conveyor into huge waves!

At that time, Alvin had already fallen under the wolf's battle ax, and his comrades had also died.

And just when the High King from Fenris was about to drink the blood of his enemies with his battle ax, a power that was enough to frighten the rune priests on Hrafnkel came with him. A force powerful enough to overturn everyone on the black ship's bridge descended behind him!

boom!

After the dazzling light, everyone on the black ship's bridge was knocked down by the force, and the Space Wolves' Terminator guards were pushed all the way to the wall amidst the ear-piercing screams of the magnetic boots.

Ragnar, who inherited the blood of Russ, was the first to react, and what he saw when he opened his eyes was the battle ax imprisoned in the air by spiritual energy, and the indifferent voice coming from behind:

"She deserves to die, but it's not you who should do it."

Psychic! It's this damn psychic power again!

Ragnar's already angry brain was stimulated again, and the memory of Prospero contained in his genetic seed resurfaced.

The furious alpha wolf completely lost his mind in the sight of countless ancestors falling under the spell of the Crimson King.

He bit his lip and tongue in one bite, and with blood overflowing from his facial features, he gave up the tomahawk in his hand, then held on to the other remaining tomahawk, and jumped towards the source of the sound behind him with a roar!

The Wolf Guards obviously also saw the scene of Calvin's appearance, and naturally felt the fear originating from the genetic level due to the temporary burst of the aura of the original body.

However, Russ's bloodline was so wild. After they saw the wolf's counterattack, their anger also drove away the fear in their hearts!

They roared and pointed the weapons in their hands at the original body, and then after tilting the firepower in their hands, they began to charge towards the original body without thinking about their own safety!

The sound of rags being torn sounded beside Calvin. It was the sound of the psychic shield bearing the impact of hundreds of storm bolters at the same time!

The furious Ragnar leapt towards him with the battle ax in his hand, but the original body still stood there, using his palms to contain the huge energy storm caused by the teleportation.

Yes, the previous storm was the result of Calvin's deliberate suppression. If he hadn't wanted to protect everyone on this battleship, then the teleportation energy he had brought over this ultra-long distance would have been enough to make this battleship There was no life left on the bridge of the battleship.

However, at the moment, he still had to be distracted to contain the angry wolf, and even to resist the attack of the wolf guards, so he released his confined power to the wolf king in front of him again, while the many approaching wolf guards were The energy he hit on the deck was instantly blown away.

"Calm down! Descendants of Russ!" Calvin said in a deep voice while looking at Ragna frozen in mid-air, and immediately issued a message to the front line with his spiritual energy.

“In my name, Inquisitor Calvin, the Supreme Lord of the Imperial Inquisition, and in the name of the Eye of the Empire established with the authority of the Holy Emperor!

I declare to take over all matters here immediately! All imperial administrative and military units will immediately come under my jurisdiction, without any exception!

I order all the imperial armed forces participating in the war in Balgoro to stop all war actions immediately! "

His voice, amplified by psychic energy, resounded throughout the sky above Ballog, and whether it was the Inquisition or the Space Wolves' battleship, the astropaths and psykers aboard were shocked by his psychic fluctuations. !

Although that kind of power is not sharp, it is broad enough.

While it caused all the astropaths and navigators on the battleship to lose control of their psychic powers, it also reminded them unconsciously of the star they had seen on Terra, which permanently changed the shape of their souls. ;

This power does not have a complicated structure, nor is it a magic trick that uses various rules to play with the soul. Its brilliance is like a peaceful moon, spreading silently to all the rune priests who "see" it. , recalling the myth of the “all-father” in his genetic memory.

Although the frontline commander Xavilian was red-eyed and did not want to stop, his command ability covering the entire battlefield no longer existed as the battleship had lost the help of the Astropath.

The Space Wolves who were stationed on Ballog and were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the Stormtroopers on the black ship also put down their swords in despair after the enemy stopped attacking or even resisting.

Slightly... slightly...

The strange sound of glass breaking came from behind Calvin. Feeling the strangeness, the original body suddenly turned around, just in time to see the blood surging on the body of the alpha wolf Ragnar.

The heavy bronze armor on his body that had been blessed by Russ himself, its complicated rune carvings and hangings were burning silently, and behind the heir of Russ, there was a phantom of a giant wearing a wolf head. Make eye contact with him!

howl!

The long howl of wolves and the roar of giants exploded in Calvin's spiritual level, and the will of Ruth left on the armor also violently collided with Calvin, a latecomer, after thousands of years!

Boom!

The huge battle ax was chopped off by Ragnar's hands as he broke free, while Calvin frowned, resisting and savoring Russ's will, while raising one hand to volley the powerful battle ax into the air. Pinch!

The harsh sound of metal friction echoed from the original's gauntlets, and dazzling sparks bloomed under the roar of the bronze-embellished power ax.

After digesting Ruth's will, Calvin raised his head. The wild and unwilling eyes of the violently panting alpha wolf were looking in his direction.

"You tried your best." Calvin said to Ragnar, looking at a corner of his gauntlet that was smashed into pieces.

However, how could the angry alpha wolf be comforted by such words? He looked angrily at the battleship outside the porthole and roared at Hrafnkel:

"Shoot at me!"

The alpha wolf's orders are everything, especially when the wolf king is away. Although the wild wolves above Hrafnkel could not understand, they still faithfully fulfilled the orders of the alpha wolf.

Huge macro cannons began to protrude from under the opened deck, and the towering light spears slowly rotated on Hrafnkel's spine.

It seems that the alpha wolf's intention is about to succeed, and destruction is about to befall the black ship.

"I said, you tried your best!" Looking at the destructive power that was about to burst out from the huge Queen of Glory, the original body finally lost patience.

He threw Ragnar out smoothly, and then used the huge energy accumulated in his hands to open his hands far away in the direction of Hrafnkel.

The destructive storm that had not had time to be resolved by Calvin was finally released at this moment. With the terrifying spiritual blessing of the original body, a scene that even he had never thought of appeared under the starry sky of Barlog. in front of everyone.

A transparent palm with starlight emerged out of thin air in the dark space, and as the original body's hand tightened, the giant palm also wrapped the entire Queen of Glory!

Under the terrifying force, the adamantine armor emitted a sharp and piercing metal cry due to its deformation. Five finger marks as huge as a chasm were protruding on the entire 20-kilometer-long hull of Hrafnkel!
