Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"Indeed, you should have an impression of this battle group."

As the executive captain of the last SATA galaxy mission, Tabers was familiar with Calvin's experience.

"After your last mission, Grand Instructor Aidan informed their people to recover the power armor and other equipment." Tabers replied.

"Ha! It's really them!" Calvin almost jumped up. It's fine if others don't know. As the bearer of the souls of billions of people in his mind, he is thinking about these guys all the time!

"Do you know them?" Yule was a little confused by Calvin's obvious reaction. Logically speaking, he should have no chance of meeting the warriors of this battle group.

"Of course, there is...well, there is a little story between us. It's not important. Give me their information. I hope to know as much as possible about them, their combat modes, usual tactics, equipment and their genetic seeds. , I want to know.”

Calvin answered Captain Yule's question with an attitude that made Judge Rhine feel dangerous.

He felt that it was necessary to give this special arbiter a clear warning. The other person's body shape was obviously different from the height of ordinary Astartes and the gorgeous Terminator power armor on his body, which made him know that this young man had no regard for the Gray Knights. It must have an extraordinary influence.

"I need to warn you! Young Arbiter! Any wealth in the empire belongs to the Emperor and the entire human empire! You have no right to use or destroy it privately!"

"Copy that! I promise not to make the first move." Calvin answered neatly.

But this answer made Rhine even more worried.

He looked at Jüle, who had the highest military rank present: "What about this assistance?"

"We agree in principle." Captain Yule took up the Inquisitor's question, but was not completely sure.

"But given that your preset target is two Astartes, we require independent command authority. We must have the right to fire directly without applying when necessary."

This is the bottom line condition given by Captain Yule. If we can talk, we can talk. If we can't, then we will break up.

"...Okay." Judge Rhine had no reason to refuse for this reason, but thinking of the words of the arbiter just now, he still insisted on emphasizing his position:

"I will pay close attention to your every word and action. If there are unnecessary casualties, I also reserve the right to retroactively trace the incident."

"This is your right, I have no objection. The other room prepared for you is already in place, you can go and rest. I will send someone to call you when you get there."

Yule issued a tactful eviction order to the judge.

And Rhine was indeed running all the way without a chance to rest, so he left the bridge without saying anything more.

"Can we tell now? Where did their seeds come from?" Calvin asked Yule again after the judge left.

"You can say it, but I may want to confirm another thing with you first." Yule said.

"You said?" Calvin replied.

"Are you looking for an opportunity to hold those malicious fighters accountable for the sake of the civilians on SATA One?" Yule looked into his eyes and asked.

"...Yes." Calvin answered affirmatively.

"Then I have to say, you may be disappointed." Yule said decisively.

"Why? You don't support me?" Calvin asked.

"Of course not, but you may want to know this fact first: in a sense, these malicious warriors exist independently as a company. You can't blame that company on this company."

Yule explained patiently.

"I can not understand what you say?"

Calvin couldn't understand it at all. And Yule also understood his doubts, and he patiently preached to Calvin:

"This is a, uh, very special chapter. They don't have a unified source of gene-seed."

"Then?"

"Their establishment and second establishment of the army were the result of certain transitional needs. And most of their seeds came from the seeds left by the loyalists in the legions that had rebelled."

"Then?"

"They are the abandoned children of the empire. Since their birth, no complete supplies have been issued to them."

"……Then."

"They work as a company, use different seeds, and perform different tasks. Apart from nominally belonging to the same war group, they have almost no connection."

"Then?" After hearing this, Calvin almost understood what Yule meant, but he still didn't believe it.

"The remains of the company you saw on SATA No. 1 are all the members of that company. They have paid the price for their actions. No one in that company survived." Yule looked at Calvin. , slowly told the truth.

"This is why the tribunal did not pursue them after the incident."

Tabers had been silent for a long time. After Yule finished speaking, he added this sentence quietly.

He made a summary of all the combat behaviors and external behavior of this regiment since its founding:

"These malicious warriors may indeed be a group of villains. But if you understand their origins and then think about the empire's attitude towards them, it is not difficult to understand why they prefer an egoistic fighting style. They are indeed In the past years, everyone has their own sins. But if you want to use the SATA No. 1 incident to hold these malicious warriors here accountable, it is indeed an act of anger."

"...Where is their chapter leader? He must be responsible for this, right?"

"When communicating with the outside world, each of their company commanders has the status of station commander."

"..." Calvin was silent. It is somewhat difficult for him to understand the existence of a war group like the Malicious Warriors, or what is more difficult for him to accept is the empire's bottomless operation in establishing such a war group.

How could such a war group exist? Not even a unified seed?

Are they just a complete hodgepodge?

Or has it been positioned as a consumable item since the founding of the army?

They don't even have unified gene seeds, so how can they have unified tactics and equipment requirements with a structure like theirs?

How does Terra supply these malicious warriors? It can't be done at all, right?

So, there was never a supply, right?

This is probably the reason why what he saw on the SATA star was like a matryoshka doll on a malicious warrior, with various accessories ranging from Mark III to VI at most.

At that time, he thought these malicious warriors had some strange habits. Now I finally understand, they really can’t even come up with a full set of standard power armor...

"So, that company is all the malicious warriors born from that seed?" Calvin asked still unwillingly.

"Yes, their fifth company. According to the information recorded by the Tribunal, the gene seeds came from the Iron Warriors. This company-based gene inheritance has completely paid the price for its greed and tyranny, and will forever be Die on that planet," Yule said with some seriousness.

"All?" Calvin confirmed again.

"Including the pharmacist, they didn't have a second pharmacist. All 98 people, including the pharmacist, died on that planet."

"What the hell is this!" Calvin could hardly control his emotions and clenched his hand into a fist and punched the wall.

The loud noise and the cracked and deformed steel plates made him regain some sense, but he still couldn't let go of the depression in his heart.

"These beasts, how easy it is for them?" Calvin said bitterly.

He hated the failure of these malicious warriors to give him the opportunity to carry out his revenge;

But even more, I hate those who allowed the emergence of Astartes war groups like the malicious warriors who were clearly there for consumption. They are the culprits of this tragedy.

Good morning, please vote.
