Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Lucapalia, the capital of the Moro planet world, is an ancient city that was destroyed by the Luna Wolf Legion at the end of the 32nd millennium.

Calvin has been here for more than a week with the main force of the Tindalos Legion and the Sea Wolf Company, which have been following the Inquisition fleet.

A week is a short time, not even enough to make the simplest modifications to this ruin.

But fortunately, the soldiers of Tindalos Legion are veterans selected from various battlefields.

People who have survived after all kinds of fierce battles have never been poor, so they naturally know where to use limited construction vehicles and more precious building materials.

The location of the defensive position was selected on orbit, and with the full support of the fleet scanning array, the engineering force was extremely purposeful and progressed very smoothly.

A large number of bunkers were selected based on the local terrain, and then quickly built under the focused assault of legionnaires and engineering vehicles;

The trenches connecting these bunkers were first dug shallowly by the soldiers, and then handed over to the armored forces to deepen and reinforce them again.

This is the benefit of having an industrial manufacturing system like the Krieg Alliance.

The most indispensable thing for the Tindalos Legion is small engineering equipment. Even under the premise that they cannot carry a large number of engineering vehicles, Krieg's engineers sent enough engineering shovels to the warship's warehouse long before the large fleet returned to Terra. .

Armored troops also welcome this equipment very much, because it is made of fine gold after molecular casting, quenching and coating, and is already extremely thick and strong additional armor.

So while the soldiers of the Infantry Regiment were still exploring and planning the defense line of Lucapaglia, the soldiers of the Armored Regiment were waiting for the arrival of the transport fleet.

The technical priests who accompanied the army were gathered on the landing site to stand by. After these engineering shovels were sent to the surface, a large number of welding projects took less than half a day in total.

As a result, more temporary engineering vehicles appeared on the ruins, and trenches and fortifications of various sizes were formed one by one.

Although this defense line cannot be compared with the Yongbei-level defense system, a crude but practical defense front slowly took shape in the next few days.

The knights of the Heper Forge World arrived later, and the landing ship dropped these Knight Titans directly over the defense line. When more than a thousand Astartes from the Sea Wolf Company also landed with supplies, the entire Lucapalia The defense line has finally taken shape.

+How many people haven’t come back yet? +

Calvin was walking on the main road on the top floor of the Endless Crusade. The communicator in his ear was meeting with the directors of the fleet and troops, and the psychic channel was talking to the newly joined chief purifier, Turab.

Turab, along with all the Purifiers, had received Calvin's psychic seed implantation procedure in the medical department of the Endless Crusade not long ago.

It took him less than three days to survive the initial psychic shock period, and then he began to take over the management of the Legion in Gian Moreau.

This speed of adaptation was obviously faster than Calvin and himself expected, because even the original Honor Guard took a full year to adapt under Calvin's personal guidance.

The two of them also conducted a special review of this matter, and finally came to the conclusion that this rapid adaptability was related to the real name Turab was given on Titan.

The granting of his true name was undoubtedly a subversive change for him, and it could even be said that it directly changed his life form. After obtaining the true name, the purifier can be said to be no longer a mortal to a certain extent, but a higher-level life existence.

The strength of will and power, the difficulty of driving spiritual energy and law.

The most critical thing is that after obtaining and understanding the language of "true name", Tulab's ability to absorb huge amounts of information in spiritual energy and his new interpretation of life's observation scale of time.

From this perspective, the psychic seeds given to him by the original body are no longer a strange power without a clue, but an iterative upgrade based on the original code of "true name".

Similar to how the "sons of Calvin" use the "inscriptions" on their own genes to decode, he can use his true name in his soul to decipher the "inscriptions."

This, of course, builds on Calvin’s core message of openness to it.

It was this comprehensive opening of information that made Turab the first outsider to intuitively understand the "secret of the inscription." The intuitive "vision" he possesses is a convenience that no Honor Guard has.

And the changes don't stop there.

The consequence of fully understanding and joining the "Legion Inscription System" is that in the third hundred years after Turab became a Gray Knight, his already formed body began to grow for the second time, driven by the instinct to imitate other sons of Calvin. Clues of development.

And the special attribute of "breaking demons" that he possessed began to appear in the soldiers of the entire legion in reverse. This impact not only appears on the Gray Knights company near Gian Moreau, but also on the "Sons of Calvin" far away in other directions.

At this time, the Gray Knights Legion was like a lake thrown into ice. Turab, the "ice cube", was not only soaked in the lake in the turbulent ripples, but it also had a subtle impact on the entire legion. .

But this kind of thing does not happen overnight, so neither Calvin nor Turab himself discovered these details.

Both of them were focused on the current war, and after the Chief Purifier completed adapting to the psychic seeds, he went straight into the work of dispatching the legion.

As for the remaining Purifiers, they are much more normal. They do not have the means to directly observe the nature of the "inscription", and their adaptation to the psychic seeds can only be explored and summarized by their own mortal souls.

The speed of gathering and understanding this kind of information is far from comparable to that of the sons of Calvin, let alone Turab with his real name.

Calvin checked the progress of their exploration and adaptation. Without the guidance of the original body himself, the most optimistic estimate would take a full hundred years...

+Four teams, according to your orders, they are responsible for the counter-infiltration operations in various star systems in the rear after the next stage of the war begins. Five of the remaining sixteen teams were wounded and had no battle damage. They are on their way back and will arrive tomorrow at the latest. +

Chief Purifier Turab stopped on the other side of the battleship and responded to Calvin on the legion's communication channel.

+Copy that, where's the Honor Guard? Is there any news from Hepper yet? +

Calvin squinted his eyes and had already made the worst prediction about the situation in that forging world. If the other party still maintained this attitude despite the order of the Tribunal, then he felt it was necessary to visit it in person.

"There's news, wait a moment..." Turab said, sending the psychic message he received to the original body. At the next moment, Calvin on the other side of the battle saw something he had never expected. picture...
