Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 513 Guess and Layout—Part 2

Dutonis, a standard knight family world;

Fresh, a traditional Astra Militarum recruiting world.

Two planetary worlds that are highly dependent on the Forge World, but can provide strict protection for the Forge World.

Although the former is not well-known, you only need to look at their location to understand that their relationship with Lucius's forging world is extremely close.

But which forging world is not like this?

If the Knight Titan is not a wanderer like the Free Blade, then his family and the many Knight Titans in the family will inevitably need the support of the Empire.

As the most skilled group in the empire, the believers of Ohm Messiah naturally have a strong attraction to these imperial knights.

Any forging world has multiple knight families that have signed contracts with it, but as a knight family affiliated with the forging world, Dutonis can actually own an entire separate planet world. This is not the appearance of an ordinary knight family. .

As for the latter, not to mention Fresh, the conscription world of the Imperial Military Affairs Ministry.

A planet that can be selected by the Imperial Military Ministry as a recruiting world for the Astra Militarum. Regardless of the degree of militarization or the efficiency of mobilization of the population on its planet, Calvin would not be disappointed if he thought about it.

As long as the equipment is in place, tens of millions of qualified soldiers who have undergone complete primary military training are the lower limit of their mobilization capabilities.

Therefore, this is the most suitable forward position, and it must be the only effective force that the Misty Star Territory authorities can find to influence the battle situation from an overall perspective before dispatching the fleet to arrive.

The premise of all this is Lucius's attitude as a landlord.

Because these two planets are not so much the power of the empire as they are the private property of the oil guys on Lucius.

But this is what Calvin is least worried about, because once the situation in the Gothic Sector spreads, these oil guys will be the first to suffer.

Dutonis and Fresh, these two highly militarized planets, are not only the only mobile forces in the eyes of the empire.

In Lucius's eyes, it is also a firewall that resists the war in the Gothic Sector.

Therefore, even the fog of war still makes Calvin feel confused.

But at least from their own point of view, the empire's leaders in the Obscure Star Region should start with the layout of the Gothic Sector in the southwest.

Moreover, Calvin also knew that Lucius, as a famous forging world throughout the empire, had the ability to cast large warships.

That means that there must be a ready-made large star port here.

And this kind of star port that can bear the supply of the large fleet, and accommodate its material supply and maintenance after the ultra-long distance jump, has been around the entire Gothic Sector several times, but there is only one single seedling named Lucius!

This is a conspiracy and the only feasible decision under the geographical environment!

Calvin is not worried about his mistakes in judgment, because as long as the people in charge of the Obscure Star Territory authorities are not corrupted by Chaos, then he will definitely take advantage of the conditions here!

Even if this is not the main attack direction of the Hazy Star Territory, it is definitely one of the assembly points of the main fleet!

"Huh..." Calvin breathed a long sigh of relief, and then secretly reminded himself not to relax.

The fog of war finally shed some light on Calvin, but compared with the information blockage brought about by more than a month of sailing, the progress he made in this judgment was really limited.

The original body was under pressure, but as the commander-in-chief, he also knew the role of his flag.

But after the Moro War, the time window for the empire to recuperate was so short.

Whether it is the resurrection of Guilliman or the integration of the internal forces of the empire, the Hazy Star Territory, which is on the first front against Chaos, is not allowed to have problems at this critical juncture.

Especially after experiencing the previous "time travel", the pressure on Calvin became even greater.

The echoes of the "War in Heaven" gave him an unprecedented in-depth understanding of the Blackstone Fortress and the nature of the material Blackstone.

But what followed was some bad speculation in his heart, which made him extremely doubt whether Abaddon in the Eye of Terror was really as good as he was during the more than ten "Black Crusades" that lasted for thousands of years. Is he so incompetent?

"Where did the nearest subspace echo come from?" Calvin asked Tybus.

At the same time, Abaddon, hundreds of thousands of light years away, also encountered the same problem in the Eye of Terror:

Although the fleet under his command was in great military glory, it was still powerless in the face of the empire's strict defense.

Stealth is his only way to escape from the Eye of Terror. But during the long stealth without any reference, grasping the position of the fleet was also a problem for him.

This is probably the wonder of fate:

The two fleets each have different missions, and stand on both sides of the Empire and Chaos with their own will and stance.

But accidentally, because of the same problem, they had to use the same method to determine their position.

However, the intertwining of the two's fate has just begun. Different environments and personalities have caused the two to adopt completely different strategies when facing similar choices...

"Klon'gar," Tebos answered.

"How long has it been since the peak?"

"Two standard Terra days!"

"That means if there had been no yaw... we should have reached Colonis."

"Yes, but the Astropath cannot hear Koronis. Unless..."

"Unless we've veered off course, or there's no one alive on Colonis."

Calvin looked at the star map and fell into deep thought. Colonis' silence was not unexpected.

His previous time travel made him quite wary, because this was not the first time that he had fallen into such weird time and space turbulence.

Although the subspace is inclusive of all things, several "accidents" still made him feel that he had problems.

But right now he didn't have time to get to the bottom of it.

The secrets of the Blackstone Fortress and the curse on him, the loss of contact in the Gothic Sector and the conspiracy behind the Eye of Terror all left him so exhausted that he had no time to sort out his information.

But now, he had a vague guess:

This place is considered a war zone, and Colonis's silence is most likely proof of being attacked by aliens.

Calvin did not want to blindly go deep into the war zone, and if his understanding of the "curse" on his body was not wrong, then when he appeared within the scope of this war zone, someone would naturally come to find him...

"Come up! Go and see Colonis!"

Calvin ordered to Tybus, and then called up the background information of Colonis on the power armor terminal.

A huge planetary world slowly took shape in his pupils with the green light, and what appeared in Calvin's eyes together were huge hive cities located on the Coronis continental plate.

"Your will!" Tabos's voice disappeared from the communication channel, and within the next half hour, the entire fleet received a notification from the Silver Dawn.

In the engine room of the Lava Blood, the big bell symbolizing the God of All Machines roared during the impact.

In the narrow cabins at the end of each corridor in the battleship, tens of thousands of sleeping crew members were awakened by shrill alarms.

In the treacherous subspace waves, the tiny fleet, accelerated by the subspace engine, sailed towards the nearest Manzeville Point.

And amidst the sounds of praise for the Ohm Messiah that spread throughout the battleships, the thick porthole armor on these human battleships was slowly being activated and lifted...
