Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

In the dark and cold space, countless stars twinkle in the Milky Way, and the desert of the desolate world is showing its desolate color in a dim tone at the foot of the Silver Dawn.

This is a world not suitable for the reproduction of life, but standing in the starry sky and looking down, the dotted miniature buildings on the ground and the star fortresses on the orbit, with their gray and rusty colors belonging to civilization, prove that there are traces of life in this world.

The dotted defense weapons are suspended in the orbit and drift slowly with the rotation of the planet. Occasionally, the light of the stars bypasses the ground, reflecting the iron-gray light on their armor and weapons.

Dense weapon base stations surround the huge body of the star fortress, and on the surface of these artificial celestial bodies, the sparks produced by the scattered people and maintenance equipment indicate that they are in an active state.

The sparse fleet is like a small and busy ant colony against the backdrop of the planetary earth, and the route between the star port and the star fortress is their constant return path.

The Silver Dawn, the battleship of the Grey Knights.

This 24-kilometer-long space battleship, like a sleeping whale, is quietly suspended beside the starport built at the equator of Desperate Watch.

The dim and cold starlight reflects sparkling silver light on this ancient yet young battleship. The sharp sagittal bow is based on the central ram, dividing the front of the entire battleship into two sides;

The hull, which is much thicker than the sister ship, is centered on the macro gun unit in the central position, and the overall space is similar to an octagon composed of two trapezoids that are narrow above and wide below.

The macro gun units are dormant and hidden under the rows of square armor modules, and on the rectangular flight deck below, groups of material transport ships are entering, exiting and docking in a tense and orderly manner.

The 24,000-meter hull is arranged in a sword shape; the eagle emblem cast in fine gold shines on the ram of the bow, and the emperor statue made of the same material echoes the front at the position of the sword hilt.

The kilometer-long holy sword emblem occupies the armor of the rear facade of the battleship; the spreading psychic array and energy circuit nodes are like silver blood vessels, slowly alternating between light and darkness as the ship breathes.

Well, "electric eel" is a joke Calvin made about the appearance of the battleship based on his memories of his previous life, but the Grey Knights obviously cannot accept such a joke, let alone using such an honorless word as the code name of the Silver Dawn in future combat operations.

This is the last glorious queen of the empire, and also the flagship of the Grey Knights' legion. And they are the angels of the Emperor, and they are Calvin's eagle wings.

"This is Titan, calling the Eagle's Nest!"

"Repeat, this is Titan, calling the Eagle's Nest!"

"Aerie 029, received."

"The formation is returning, please give instructions."

"Received, the formation is returning, Deck 1 is open, ready to enter, channel Delta 1109."

"Confirmed, Deck 1, channel Delta 1109, over."

Below the macro cannon array in the middle of the battleship, on both sides of the gate of Flight Deck 1, the Eye of Gorgon is releasing the automatic cycle identification key into the void. The gravity deck skirt fan extending outward has been fully unfolded, waiting for the fleet transferred from the tower to enter.

At the end of the deck cabin at a depth of one thousand meters, the roar of the nearby ship's rail train has just faded away, and the mechanical slaves have no time to breathe from the work of carrying supplies, and the emergency evacuation order of the mechanical priests has arrived.

The artificial atmosphere and gravity facilities were activated, and the alarms on the deck were screaming. Silent people moved in groups, like schools of fish, towards the sealed cabins on both sides of the deck.

At the hatch at the end of the field of vision, a group of giants in silver armor ignored the impending vacuum and moved forward in two columns against the flow of people.

The red warning lights flashed at high speed, and the giants stood quietly in the center of the deck after the flow of people disappeared.

The gravitational field of the battleship was temporarily shut down, replacing the noisy deck with the cold and quiet of the vacuum. In an environment where everything was so quiet that one could even hear one's own heartbeat, there were occasional sparks from magnetic boots and decks.

The giants still said nothing, and at the end of their sight, the Thunder Eagle, after separating from the escort aircraft group inside the atmosphere, was rapidly expanding from a black dot that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye until it was clearly visible.

The Thunder Eagle inlaid with the Holy Sword became clearer and clearer in the field of vision, and finally dragged a long tail flame, whistling and hovering on the deck of the battleship and landing.

Buzz...

The artificial atmosphere and gravitational field started working again, and a slight chirping sounded in the cochlea.

The huge Thunder Eagle lowered the gangway from the wing, and the relatively small figure of the original appeared in front of everyone.

But that was only relative. When Calvin walked in front of the Grey Knights, everyone could clearly feel the Primarch's size and the surge from the depths of his blood.

+Go. +

The moment he connected with the will of the Legion, Calvin gave the order to march. The 20-man guard team turned neatly at this second, and the Primarch walked to the center of the formation just in time.

Nicholas and Jin stood behind Calvin, observing the Grey Knights intently. The latter kept fine-tuning the formation while marching without any communication, and also considerately left enough space and vision for the two guards.

"What a convenient ability." Nicholas turned his head to look at Jin beside him, and the meaning conveyed by their eyes was highly consistent.

No matter how many times they experience such scenes, they will still feel envious of the Gray Knights' linkage method.

The combat value cannot be envied by these scholar-type warriors. They are confident that they can achieve similar results on the battlefield with long-term tacit understanding.

However, the superiority of psychic energy in specific life made the Imperial Guards very regretful. Although they did not have a deep understanding of productivity tools, they could still vaguely feel the efficiency of this tool.

Terra, Titan, Cypramundi, information from outside the Legion kept flashing through Calvin's mind.

In particular, the troops Sepramondi had already invested in the Gothic direction provided Calvin with the most critical feedback to lift the fog of war.

In the direction of the agricultural world of Farr, a newly dispatched Death Watch team has started its first encounter with the enemies there;

After identification, the alien civilization was identified as the Eldar, again consistent with Calvin's experience in the direction of Desperate Watch.

The Eldar, the empire's old rival, are consciously blocking the empire's information channels in the Gothic direction, and based on the intensity of resistance encountered by the Death Watch team, the enemy's war should be coming to an end.

There was not much time left for Calvin, he had to speed up.

The original body once again confirmed this point of view in his heart, and while reading the information about the Death Watch team, a familiar name unexpectedly appeared in front of him.

"Sura?" Calvin recalled the memories before the Moro War and confirmed the identity of the other party again.

An Astartes from the Ultramarines should not have attracted his attention. But in previous interactions, the other party was clearly a core member of the Ultramarines.

This kind of member who is clearly a key member to be cultivated within the Chapter actually appears in the list of members of the Death Watch. Its own significance is worth pondering for the original body.

"Sevens should have left his job, but I don't know where he will end up."

Calvin silently listed this information as a note in his mind. The changes in a faction headed by Severns were destined to have a profound impact on the situation in the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.

In terms of the founding group's ability to keep intelligence secret, this major change that can be collected is undoubtedly an important basis for Calvin's future judgment on them.

The appearance of Sulla means that this young adjutant, who was originally a promising man, has lost his promotion path because of the resignation of his commander.

Not to mention, Calvin has some strong "interests" in this talented Astartes warrior himself.

Update, the status is not good, everyone has been waiting for a long time.
