Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"I shouldn't blame her, just because she doesn't like to take care of her appearance and wear socks that she has worn once inside out..."

"I shouldn't blame her, just because she can't remember all the prayers before the battle, just because every time she prays before the battle, she only remembers the last sentence..."

"Pfft..." Calvin hid in the shadows, barely able to control his laughter.

The battle nun with a pained face in front of her obviously had some troubles that she couldn't tell others under the solemnity in front of others.

Calvin could understand her, just like any army has its own internal troubles beneath its bright exterior.

The Battle Sisters are also living people. Naturally, in addition to their cold fighting and fanatical beliefs, they also have a human temperature and life...

It's just... a veteran with bad housekeeping regulations?

Calvin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he recalled his past life. He had also encountered this kind of situation when he was the squad leader, and how did he deal with it at that time?

Oh, three-part, slow-motion push-ups.

Not much, just two or three, can give any veteran a nice and quiet night, and ensure that their calves tremble at the sight of socks...

What a wonderful past... Calvin's eyes were also slightly warm because of the memories.

Those memories included both the sweat he shed when he was a soldier and the annoying complaints he made others make.

Memories of the past caused him to miss the departure of the Battle Sisters in a daze; but when he came back to his senses, the chapel returned to calm again.

Just... pretty good?

Calvin thought about what he had heard before and gained a deeper understanding of these Battle Sisters.

He looked at the timer on the wall to confirm that he still had enough time before the meeting, then opened the main door of the chapel and left accompanied by two honor guards.

"Blood of lava?"

On the third day of the planetary transformation project, while waiting boringly, Calvin finally received a piece of news that pleased him.

The Astropath informed him that an Astartes battle barge claiming to be the Molten Blood was approaching Farr in the void.

And behind them, there was a fleet from Terra following.

"This is really timely..." Calvin said with a smile, stroking his hands.

Correspondingly, there were the terrible expressions on the faces of Fleet Admiral Tabers and Battle Group Chief Officer Little Gar.

It wasn't their fault that they were in a bad mood, but that their original body had posed a new problem to them after two days of calm.

After integrating Lucius's reinforcements, the Primarch was no longer willing to stay on the outskirts of the Gothic War Zone.

The planetary transformation project here has just begun. Both the Skitarii Legion and the accompanying Titan Legion are being dragged in place by the Ark, which is under construction.

Of course, the original body was unwilling to wait any longer, so with some natural thoughts, Calvin proposed the idea of ​​leading a small team as a forward to explore the path in the last regular meeting.

"What an irresponsible proposal!"

The moment Little Calvin heard this opinion, he roared crazily in his heart and in the Legion's psychic channel.

However, the authority is so unreasonable. Not long after Little Calvin's roar sounded, the authority from the Lord of the Legion prohibited his right to speak.

Moreover, leaders of other forces were also present in the silver hall at that time, so in order to maintain the authority of the Lord of the Legion, little Calvin could only stare fiercely at the figure on the throne through the thick Crusader helmet.

Tybus also tried to change Calvin's mind, but he also refused.

So the two people in desperation could only reject the original body's proposal on the grounds that the fleet's strength was limited and the battle group temporarily did not have enough troops to perform tasks other than escorting the fleet.

But just when they thought the crisis was finally over and were about to relax.

The news from the astropaths stirred up their newly settled hearts again!

Talos! You deserve to die!

Little Calvin roared in his heart, but he could do nothing about what had happened.

A Death Watch of nearly three hundred men will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the dilemma of insufficient Astartes warriors in the fleet;

But once this embarrassment is alleviated, there will be no reason to refuse the original body's proposal!

"Well done! Who is the following fleet?"

Calvin sat on the throne and loudly celebrated Talos' return, and raised his own questions.

The representative of the Astropath bowed slightly, indicating that the noise in the subspace was too loud and that they needed to wait a moment.

Lucius and the others, who had obtained superficial information from the surrounding crowd, were really excited about the news.

Only a few Gray Knight officers under Calvin were secretly angry through their thick Crusader helmets.

No one would dislike having too many allies, especially on this battlefield where life and death are at stake.

The presence of the Black Legion and Death Guard is no secret, and the pressure they bring is suffocating.

If Calvin and his Gray Knights were not present, the imperial soldiers assembled in Farr at this moment would have no intention of confronting them;

Because of this, either one of them would require the Empire to mobilize the power of an entire sector to compete with it and expel it.

"It's the signal from the Chapter Astartes!"

The Astropath representative who had just left returned again, and this time he brought the specific numbers of subsequent reinforcements.

"The Krieg Chapter Alliance... five battle barges, one strike cruiser, a total of 2,000 people!"

He sounded hesitant because he had never seen this arrangement before.

The Inquisition and the Gray Knights instantly understood that this was an old subordinate of the original body.

"Have you given an order?" Tabos raised his head and looked at Calvin on the throne.

"No." Calvin was also a little surprised, but after thinking about it, this kind of thing was most likely Terra's wish.

This local armed force is no secret to Terra. Even after Calvin officially entered Terra, their communication keys and emergency order authority were placed in the command sequence of the Eye of the Empire.

He believed in Trajan, and he also believed that with the foundation and pride of the Ten Thousand Husbands, he would not have any intention of using this power.

The reason why they are put in the open is to let Trajan know that if there is an emergency war in other star regions, there is an emergency force here in the Storm Star Region that can come in handy.

In his previous transfer order, Calvin also made an emergency transfer of the Gray Knights from the two theaters. This order obviously gave Trajan a greater sense of crisis when he passed through Terra for registration.

The Gray Knights are still recovering, and still need some preparation before they can make a long-distance attack;

The Ten Thousand Fu Tuan needs to sit in the center of the empire and cannot let go in the slightest.

So among the forces that the Eye of the Empire can use several times, who else is in a state of preparation for war and can be mobilized at any time?

Presumably, apart from the Minotaur warband that "pacified" the Lords of Terra, there was only the power of the Krieg Alliance.

"Understood." Tabos bowed his head and retreated to the sequence without speaking, and was lost in thinking about how to continue to dissuade the original body.

Calvin, on the other hand, silently calculated the accounts:

After the fleet arrived, the Astartes warriors in his hands, including his headquarters, finally reached the bottom line of 3,000.

This number is a bottom line, giving him confidence that he can hold off the frontal attack of the two legions in a defensive posture;

And this is the minimum that Calvin can accept, because war cannot always depend on the outcome of a certain individual like the previous battle of Farr.

Gothic……

Calvin recited silently in his mind, and the timer on the battleship above his head also sounded loudly at noon.

On the gorgeous dome of the silver hall, the simulated sunlight reflects the original body under the shadow wall in an extremely sacred way;

But at the end of everyone's gaze, the giant sitting on the throne was staring at his open palms in thought.

There is nothing there, this is what everyone sees;

There were stars all over the place. This was the transformation of the Bell of Erebus in the palm of Calvin's eyes!

renew.
