Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes - #602 - Chapter 594: Obstruction and confrontation, the realization of the conjecture

What do they want?

At this point in time, what is the significance of doing this?

In his eyes, the intelligence fed back by Sura was almost an open-label resistance. But if you choose this moment, then…it can only be a trap on the eve of war!

“Starport!”

Calvin looked at Nicholas and confirmed again in the other’s doubtful eyes: “Who is there!”

Nicholas said nothing and lowered his head directly to start the query. As the data interface was connected to the public server of Blackstone Fortress, a piece of news that made his face turn pale with horror was right in front of him!

“Director of Foundry!” He raised his head and looked at the Primarch.

“Fifteen minutes ago, the ship of the Gothic Foundry Director just sent a departure application to the fortress!”

“Stop him!” The will of the legion was activated instantly, and the Gray Knights stationed at the star port took action upon hearing the news!

At this moment, Calvin has not stopped yet, but continues to use the will of the legion and the channels controlled by the Forbidden Army Captain to issue orders endorsed by his honor to all the troops he can touch at the same time!

“Full preparation for war!”

“Order! The Silver Dawn and its direct fleet leave port immediately!

First seize the advantageous position on the weak side of the astrological system’s defense, and then wait for the support of the Imperial Navy! “

“Notify Vasilev! Let his fleet prepare to leave the port immediately, with the goal of occupying the symmetrical position between the Gothic Galaxy and the Blackstone Fortress!”

“Notify the Imperial Fists headquarters to immediately enter the first level of war preparation! Tell them that the enemy is the Death Guard! The enemy is Mortarion!”

“Order the Tindaros Army to immediately enter the Blackstone Fortress!”

“Order Maul to immediately contact the Astra Militarum forces in the galaxy and assemble at the nearest starport! The fleet to respond to them will arrive soon! Give them the matching fleet identification code!”

“Order Hobbes to immediately mobilize the 71st Transport Fleet of the Imperial Navy and cooperate with the Astral Legion headquarters to deliver second-line troops to various planetary orbital defense platforms!”

After finishing the series of orders, Calvin looked at Nicholas and asked: “Is there anything missing?”

As soon as the latter showed a tendency to shake his head, Calvin tore open the void and disappeared.

Hmm… Counting the time, there is still a mess waiting for him to clean up at Starport.

In the transparent tower in the connection area, the staff who had just sent away the members of the Mechanicus did not wait to relax. In a dizzying burst of psychic tearing, they saw the adult striding out from the roaring lightning. The gray-armored giant of the team!

In the midst of this psychic fluctuation that made mortals dizzy, some of the Astartes didn’t even look at them. The giant headed by them just confirmed their position, and then led his comrades behind him directly towards the Mechanical Priests. Go in the direction you left!

“Stay!” the leading giant shouted loudly, but the members of the Mechanicus in front seemed unaware.

“Stay!” Seeing this, the giant raised his voice again, and several high-ranking priests looked back and saw them, but after a slight hesitation, they stepped even faster.

“Stay!” shouted the third time, finally calling the queue in front to stop.

But the leading Gray Knight knew that compared to words, the loaded twin bolters in his hands were probably the biggest reason for the other party’s sudden understanding.

The queue that was moving forward was alarmed by the incident behind them, and during this slight stagnation, a series of psychic lightning appeared at the front of the team!

Dozens of Gray Knights, in a rare collective teleportation gesture, appeared around the diplomatic queue on the Forge World.

What these Gray Knights have in common is that after appearing on the scene, they point their weapons at the crowd in the center, and then order them neatly:

“Titan has an order, please stop!”

……… A suffocating silence, followed by a moment of boiling emotions.

The leader of the knight family drew the ceremonial sword from his waist, while the priest of the Origin Order silently took out the power ax and the phosphorus snake gun.

But compared with the fully armed Astartes, he was still weak and pitiful, so the calmness after anger once again took over the brain, and someone in the crowd also made a real decision-making voice.

“Is this an order from the original body?” The Foundry Director was the only person who did not panic after witnessing these changes. At this time, he walked out of several guards and looked directly at the Gray Knights who were surrounding him.

“It’s my order!”

There was another roar of lightning, and the sight of the original body appearing directly from the void not only frightened many mechanical priests, but also made the foundry director in the center of the crowd frown.

“What’s the reason?” There was anger in his tone, but more of it was scrutiny hidden behind the anger.

A demigod, a true son of the Emperor.

He could not imagine any reason that would make the other party worthy of sacrificing his dignity to attack him in such a ridiculous way;

The restraint and patience shown by the other party in previous meetings were completely inconsistent with the current naked conflict that was almost a sword-fight.

“There is no reason. I just want to waste your time to verify some of my conjectures.” Calvin raised his hand to signal, and the gray knights around him retracted their weapons.

At his signal, the foundry director walked out of the crowd of guards despite being puzzled.

He didn’t even ask what Calvin’s conjecture was. He just looked at Calvin calmly and said with enough restraint and calmness:

“It is our honor to be able to participate in your conjecture. However, God of All Opportunities, please be sure to give us an explanation afterwards.”

This was almost a falling out, because if Calvin could not give a reasonable explanation afterwards, all the political credibility he had earned through patience and restraint would have been wasted.

“Okay.” Calvin agreed immediately without blinking.

And just as the Mechanical Ark belonging to the Foundry Director left first under his order, and after reaching the defensive position of the fortress, a burst of crimson energy from the edge of the galaxy turned the ancient Mechanical Ark into an instant A giant firework of burning steel!

boom!

A dull sound came, but this was only a broadcast of the disaster scene on the communication channel.

The scarlet and thick energy rays, while continuing to shine, also exposed the unprecedented alien battleship.

Neither Calvin nor the Foundry Director has ever seen this kind of warship in any information – one that can completely destroy a warship that has been prepared and activated the energy shield at full power with a single energy strike. arms.

“Prepare for war!” Calvin did not immediately see the foundry director’s reaction. Instead, after his guess finally came true, he sighed slightly and gave orders to the Gray Knights behind him.

And the various troops who had been waiting for the second half of his order finally gave up the last bit of luck in their hearts when reminded by the huge fireworks outside the Blackstone Fortress.

“Goth…will remember your kindness.”

This was the first thing the casting director said to Calvin when he turned around;

And after this meaningful sentence of gratitude, this servant who controls billions of machines and steel finally showed his cruelty as a monarch:

“So, who is our enemy?”
