Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"Did you find it?"

The four Gray Knights shown on the map have been staying somewhere underground for more than three minutes. Calvin guessed that they should have gained something.

"Not sure, boss, you'd better come and see for yourself."

The voice of Feir, who was in charge of reconnaissance in the communicator, was interfered by geomagnetic interference and was severely distorted.

"Understood, wait for me, I'll be there soon."

Calvin waved his hand, and the Gray Knights around him began to accelerate. Now that the rest of the way has been confirmed by the scouts, they no longer cover up the sound of their actions.

Ten minutes later, Calvin met the four Fehrs who had gone out to explore at the edge of the wreckage of a hulk. He looked at the platform protruding in front of him and marveled at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.

Yes, this is the part of the hulk that sticks into the planet's surface.

At this location, they were already at a depth of more than minus 3,000 meters above sea level. According to Calvin's prediction, this place should be shrouded in darkness.

But the fact was contrary to his speculation. When he walked out of the passage of the hulk, he could actually see the light of distant stars.

This is a trench, or this was once the deepest part of the ocean. The seawater has long disappeared with the movement of the crustal plates. In the dry environment, only the huge canyons and aquatic life fossils in the rocks on both sides can prove the existence of the ocean.

The depth of at least tens of thousands of meters at the deepest point is not the most special. The unparalleled length and width are the scale rarely seen in normal trenches.

It was not that Calvin had never seen the world before, but he had never seen a few canyons with a width of dozens of kilometers at the bottom, let alone a length that was so long that it was impossible to see the end when looking down from the sky.

That's right, even at a depth of minus 3,000 meters above sea level, Calvin's position was still overlooking the canyon from a high altitude, and everything at the bottom of the canyon was clearly visible to him.

Looking across the dry surface of gray sand and drought-resistant fungal life, strong warp fluctuations beckoned to him from the end of the canyon.

What a blasphemous scene that was. Even from a distance of nearly a hundred kilometers, he could see the army of chaos demons gathering in front of that huge man-made thing.

The aura of the subspace was polluted by these filthy existences, making it colorful and bizarre. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of demons were noisy at the end of the sight. The energy field of more than one big demon was observed by Calvin's psychic vision.

"Can you see the specific situation?"

Calvin asked Jin behind him. According to the detection equipment on him and other Gray Knights, that distance exceeded the performance limit of the equipment.

He could only turn to Jin for help to see if the equipment of these throne guards, known as the foundation of fine gold, had more powerful performance.

As expected, Jin also shook his head.

"It's hundreds of kilometers, this distance. It definitely exceeds the original design intention of any individual soldier observation equipment."

"Okay." Calvin was noncommittal and turned to the cruiser above the track for help.

While connecting the communication signal to the orbit, he tried to use a spectrum detector to confirm the specific distance.

"The Revenant Redeemer, this is Calvin. Requesting orbital observation data support. Yes, yes, yes, the target coordinates...well, using me as a reference, the north direction is offset 12 degrees to the right, the distance...wait a minute, I Calculate the curvature...152 kilometers, plus or minus 3 kilometers. Please give me the latest picture."

After the communication ended, he also turned off the device on the armband. Looking at Jin beside him, he smiled maliciously and asked:

“Have you brought your jump bag?”…………

The answer is naturally no. Who would be a serious imperial envoy who would bring this thing with him when he goes out?

Jin was complaining crazily in his heart, but he couldn't speak at this time, because he was being clamped under Calvin's arm, and while he was rapidly descending from a high altitude, he was experiencing the weird and violent low-pressure airflow inside the canyon.

In the sky around them, other Gray Knights were also descending with the support of power backpacks equipped with rocket nozzles, but without exception, after meeting Jin's eyes, they all looked in another direction in tacit understanding.

The detection report of the Revenant Redeemer was very timely, and Calvin, who had not yet landed in the air, had already received the latest feedback.

Observations in orbit show that these demons are composed of a very rare multi-camp coalition. They are attacking the man-made ruins under the leadership of at least three suspected four demons.

The enlarged picture of the ruins was compared with the database and was confirmed to be the entrance to the Eldar Webway. However, the dim runes and broken buildings showed that this place should have been abandoned for a long time.

The purpose of the demons is easy to guess. They should want to destroy the psychic suppression equipment here in order to obtain the energy equipment inside the barrier.

Because in this desolate world, they can get nothing but sand.

I have to mention the far-sightedness of the Tribunal. According to records a long time ago, after sealing the subspace rift here, the Tribunal, under the notification of the Imperial Guards, relocated the entire population of the planet, and continuously Creatures in the wild also underwent a relatively complete extinction. And in the next few thousand years, a strict no-navigation law was implemented on this galaxy.

If it hadn't been for the unexpected appearance of the subspace hulk this time, the seal here would have maintained its function.

And when the seal is truly broken, these demons pouring out like a tide will be unable to expand the entrance to the subspace through sacrifices, and can only find ways to cross the distant uninhabited space.

Their purpose should be to obtain the energy source here to transform the scrap ship here, and finally achieve the purpose of leaving here.

This was confirmed at a construction site 30 kilometers behind the ruins of the Webway, where a highly complete spacecraft has been built, but how to escape the gravity here is obviously a problem that these demons are troubled by.

"Do we have cyclone torpedoes on board?" Calvin asked Tabers above the orbit.

Since there were no Imperial citizens living on this planet, he would never mind giving these demons some neat punishment.

"Unfortunately, there is no equipment on the Revenant Redeemer. As your ship, it has not performed missions for 30 years. The Inquisition has express restrictions on the Extermination Order. In a single sector fleet, there can only be two at most at the same time. We do not have the capability to issue similar weapons.”

Tabos explained the specific reason to Calvin: the Redeemer of the Souls had been away from the battlefield for a long time, causing its priority to drop rapidly. After evaluation, the Inquisition decided to allocate it to brother forces that needed him more.

Well, then we can only log in and fight. Calvin frowned and gave the latest instructions to the top of the track.

"Immediately carry out an orbital strike! That barrier can't hold on for long! After the strike is completed, let the Astra Militarum carry out airborne operations! We will arrive within 2 hours!"

"Received. Execute immediately. As usual, when more than 100,000 people are mobilized, the trial court will record the operation code name and code. What is the code name of this operation?"

"Code name?" Calvin raised his head and looked at the distant sky, thought for a moment, and then replied:

"Code name, Rain of Punishment!"

Second update, vote!
