Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes - #598 - Chapter 590: Forbidden Forces, Defense Change, Reluctant Mission

boom……

The heavy door was pushed open from the inside. Sura, like the opposite Gray Knight, remained motionless and moved his gaze sideways, just opposite to the gaze of the imperial guard who walked out of the door – Jin.

The Emperor’s Eagle Guard.

It is not only an endorsement of the honor and power granted to the Primarch by the Empire, but also an executioner who monitors the Primarch in a sense.

Sura couldn’t remember where he had seen them, but instinctively he didn’t have a good impression of these people.

Disgust, hatred, contempt, vigilance…

This was something he had received instinctively, the undisguised emotion from these adamantine foundations;

And strangeness, awe, fear, anger…

It was the instinctive reaction left by his unrecoverable memories.

But it’s different now.

Since he regained consciousness, his new identity has allowed him to receive unexpected intimacy and complexity from the eyes of these emperor’s guards who “should” be arrogant…

The reason why they trust me…is just because of their identity?

This was the confusion that Sulla could not figure out in his free time, and it was also a fact that was constantly confirmed in daily details after his brief rebirth.

No, not just trust.

Sulla doesn’t know his origins, but he has his own understanding of emotions and micro-expressions.

From the eyes of Jin and his comrades, he knew that what he gained was not only trust and intimacy, but also some emotions that made him more confused.

envious?

There should be some, but not all.

Relieved?

But where does this come from?

He discussed the question with Gorgon, but the latter had no answer.

He also clearly remembered the expression on the veteran who had served for hundreds of years after hearing his doubts.

And that expression is so subtle, and there is a certain teasing after thinking in the subtlety.

“That’s because of the Titans,” Gorgon said.

He answered Sura’s question, but he did not relieve Sura’s doubts.

Sulla didn’t know what was different about his genetic father that would cause these imperial soldiers to have such complicated emotions. But he also knew that this complex emotion was destined to be related to their identities.

But fortunately, he didn’t care about this, because at this time, he was also in another kind of unexpected trouble due to the collision of certain instincts in his body.

“Stupid bird…you have something to do!”

The psychic communication came so unexpectedly that Sula subconsciously tensed up in fear.

Outside the door of the Black Stone Hall at the end of the field of vision, a column of fully armed gray knights was walking from the end of the corridor.

Then Sulla, who belatedly “perceived” the coming person, no longer looked at Jin, but glanced past the few mortals under the steps and collided with the owner of the voice.

“Two hours and 10 seconds, you are late.”

Sura spoke, the stiffness and dissatisfaction in her tone were equally obvious.

“And my name is Sura, not Stupid Bird.”

“I got it, stupid bird.” Gorgon, who came to change defenses, laughed loudly in the psychic communication channel, not seeming to listen at all.

However, in reality, what appears to outsiders is a unilateral silence between the two teams.

“!!!”

There was no point in talking, so Sulla decided to use martial arts to express his protest, and this had been his and Gorgon’s routine for this period of time.

Considering the special status of the former, the original body specially appointed Gorgon, the leader of the Templars, to make up for Sulla’s recruit training that should have been on Titan;

As one of the few high-ranking Templars, Gorgon, as the current head of the Honor Guard, also understands the importance the original body attaches to Sulla.

He was happy to communicate with this new recruit with a special background, and he was even more happy to use this special “confrontation” to accelerate their understanding of each other.

Feeling the pace of the Templars, Sulla’s body turned from extremely still to explosive in an instant. The blade of the halberd held in one hand moved forward along the gravity, while the halberd body, which had been replaced by two hands, moved in the electromagnetic muscle bundle. Under the added force of terror, an afterimage suddenly stabbed out in the square inch in front of him!

Buzz!

In a critical moment, Gorgon’s expression did not change, but he kept moving!

The Terminator, which was heavier than the standard holy shield power armor on Sura, was driven by the psychic cables on his body and the buzzing of the servo, and escaped the direct attack with incredible dexterity!

After dodging sideways slightly, Gorgon stepped forward without retreating, like a saber-toothed tiger from ancient times, waving his halberd within a distance of less than two meters, and lightly bypassed Sulla. In an instant, the sharp edge made a faint scratch on the back of Sura’s neck, and then stood at the former’s original position!

The violence and dexterity of an apex predator are vividly displayed in this small space.

And how have the Anglican priests, who come from seminaries and have always been buried in diocesan institutions, ever seen such a shocking scene?

When two giant steel beasts weighing several tons appeared in front of them without any warning, using steel and swords to perform the most naked violence, they were shocked and suffocated by the scene that hit them, and they couldn’t even scream. issue!

“Ho…ho…”

“Stop screaming! Why are you screaming when death is imminent!” Gorgon, who had changed places with Sulla, stamped his feet in a leisurely manner, trying to interrupt the group of priests who were about to be suffocated to death by him.

However, this group of frail clergymen strengthened themselves at this moment. They were all suppressing their faces to turn red, and they still wanted to scream with determination.

“Barking! Barking counts as time!”

Gorgon spoke again, and his thunderous roar finally suppressed the screams of the priests.

At this time, they themselves also knew the fate they were about to face. Without the consent of the original body, it would be impossible for these people to successfully take over the power of the church;

And like any road to power, sometimes if you can’t take another step forward, you don’t even have the right to retreat…

“Order?”

Sura stopped and turned around, as if what just happened had never happened. His eyes swept across the bodies of several priests, as if looking at dead people, causing the priests to freeze in place again.

And Gorgon didn’t feel dissatisfied, because this was a tacit understanding between him and Sulla.

As for the small actions of several priests calling for rescue, he pretended not to have seen them at all.

Gothic, at least for this period, was nominally within Calvin’s purview.

He couldn’t wait to see who dared to risk being wanted by the Inquisition to rescue these people in front of him.

“There is an order!” Gorgon still answered with his spiritual power.

He held the halberd in his hand and remained still, moving his helmet slightly laterally. The T-shaped eyepiece pointed at the group of priests in red.

“But I don’t want to hear you use that damn throat again!”

“…” Sura’s body stiffened slightly, but she still lowered her head.

“Order?” he asked again.

But this time, a slightly unfamiliar psychic energy sounded in the legion’s communication channel.

“Take your people and ‘invite’ those among them who should come but haven’t come!”

Gorgon laughed happily, and this unabashed laughter let Jin, who had always remained silent, know that it was time for him to speak.

“I was ordered by the original body to investigate the internal affairs of the Gothic Diocese, the state religion of the empire. You should have received the same order. So, who will coordinate my work?”

“?”

Sulla raised his head and looked at Gorgon with a puzzled expression. The latter grinned widely, raised his free hand to scratch his chin, then raised his shoulders irresponsibly and said:

“There is such a thing, I forgot to mention it.”
