Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"Well..." Severe pain appeared in the original body's brain, and the soul was under tremendous pressure. The head and even the entire body of the original body, and even every holy blood cell, groaned in pain.

As the strongest psyker in the entire Gian Moro sector, he is also the holder of the authority of order that is most completely opposed to chaos.

Calvin became the biggest victim in this energy surge, and naturally became the person whose soul essence suffered the greatest impact after the chaotic power was greatly promoted from the origin of subspace.

He could even see the root of this storm from the perspective of his own authority. Behind it was the gathering of countless rituals in the entire eastern half of the empire.

While this information was recognized by Calvin, he could also see pieces of broken pictures and memories from the fragments of the information:

That was the result of thousands of sacrificial rituals, large and small, being used by the servants of the Chaos Gods throughout the vast territory in the eastern part of the empire to accumulate blasphemous power over decades.

And it was this power that had been accumulated for a long time that was finally released once Calvin arrived in the trap they had prepared, thus causing this agitation that reached deep into the depths of the subspace.

This is undoubtedly a trap specially prepared for him, because raids in the subspace real universe usually only require breadth, that is, the more demons can reach the real universe in the shorter time.

The Chaos Gods obviously did not do this in this invasion. They spent decades of waiting and the organization of the Dark Shepherd to shrink the scope of this ceremony to only one star sector, but other The level of power of change reaches directly to the depths of the origin of subspace.

This is the revenge of the gods on him, a belated punishment for him stealing the power of the gods three times in a hundred years;

This was also a long-planned hunt, because at this time Armageddon had been enveloped by the blood tide of Khorne's two miracles.

On top of this, the Lord of the Red Sands, who wandered from the subspace to Armageddon, has used his arrival to take away all the energy of the Emperor and Terra...

There will be no reinforcements, and this is destined to be a lonely battle.

And if Gal asked correctly, the opponent he would face was a large demon army led by one or more demon princes that could encircle and suppress him.

"Save those Space Wolves first!" Looking at the Endless Crusade leaping out of the void, Calvin was the first to give the order to the Gray Knights on board.

At this time, Ballog was already in chaos. The rebellion that broke out around them left the Space Wolves who had just relaxed unprepared. Their previous measures to isolate these mortals out of caution were caused by Calvin's treatment of them. Support buys valuable time.

Blood-red smoke rose from the hives on Ballog, reaching straight into the sky. Countless demons rushed out from the skins of those contaminated people, and roared and rushed towards them under the gaze of the surrounding crowd who had no fighting experience...

Thirty-three hives on the ground lost contact within a few hours. Not long after the Space Wolves received the warning from the front line, an endless tide of humans and demons emerged from these fallen hives. , heading towards the weapons base station stationed by the Space Wolves.

Unable to wait for the long turnaround time of the planetary defense system, the assault fleet belonging to the Space Wolves has begun bombing the surface.

However, the punishment-style artillery fire was so powerless in the face of the demonic tide like a natural disaster. Even if their fleet fired the weapons in their hands to the limit of the cooling system, they could only bring down bursts of fire on several plains in Barlogo. A tide of corpses visible to the naked eye from space.

And compared to death, there is more coming from behind.

The effectiveness of physical ammunition against demons was once again proven to be limited in this bombing, because those kinetic energy kills could not guarantee the complete destruction of demons;

Light spear weapons can do this, but in the entire assault fleet composed of small battleships, light spear weapons have become a luxury creation at this time.

As a result, the raging demonic tide was getting closer and closer to the Space Wolves' position, visible to the naked eye from the perspective of space.

In the context of the hive's anti-aircraft firepower being the first to fall, after their fleet in orbit confirmed that they could not safely evacuate, they could only use limited artillery fire to cover the battlefield, and use the weapons and ammunition that the frontline soldiers lacked and the few remaining weapons. Mobile troops are projected down.

ten kilometers……

Eight kilometers...

Six kilometers...

The sergeants of the Sea Wolf Dalian Company, also known as the veterans they called Longtooth, stood on the high ground where the weapons base station was located, looking at the black line on the horizon in silence.

A Bloodclaw from behind licked his lips and stepped forward to inform the veteran in charge of the team's transfer progress:

"The explosives have been placed. According to the order given to us by the Wolf Lord, it's time for us to leave."

The veteran nodded slightly, then picked up the heavy bolter under his feet and left the high ground.

Half an hour later, on the high ground, the wave of fallen people and demons had reached the high ground with roars all over the sky, while in the mountains in the distance, there was a thin line of pedestrians walking by.

boom!

The faint sound of thunder sounded from behind the Space Wolves. Bloodclaw turned around and looked far away. What caught his eyes was the weapon that burst out from the weapon base station. After several explosions, the entire high ground was finally blown away. Huge smoke.

The entire earth trembled slightly in the explosion, and no one could survive the orange-red fire.

This Space Wolves team finally disappeared into the mountains, and a few hours later met up with their other teams at another weapons base. Several Storm Eagles with Fenris markings on the tarmac were ready and waiting for them. is another battlefield...

However, this is just one of the luckier ones among dozens of weapon base stations, because not every base station has room to retreat.

From a remote position like this, the Space Wolves naturally have enough time and space to evacuate, but most weapon base stations surrounded by hive cities do not have this lucky time and space.

Helm's team was not so lucky. The weapons base station they were originally assigned happened to be located between the three hive cities on the third continental plate of Ballog.

These three hive cities are located on several volcanic craters in the third continent. Due to the perennially unstable crustal structure here, they are able to mine the mineral resources here at extremely low cost.

Precisely because there are so many lava veins flowing on the surface, these three hive cities also rely on mining and associated secondary processing as their main source of income.

The weapons base station stationed by Helm's team is located between the three hive cities. In previous battles with the Inquisition's fleet, they also successfully used the base anti-ship weapons here to hit warships belonging to the Imperial Navy several times.

And it was precisely because of the cover of the three surrounding hive cities and the special surface structure here that the imperial warships that had locked them finally chose to let them go, considering the stability of the entire continental plate.

But this luck only ended here, because with the cessation of the war and the ensuing subspace storm, the team led by the Rune Priest was trapped here for the same reason.

They were unable to move out in advance because the three surrounding nests had locked the nearby airspace.

They were also unable to evacuate on foot, because at their speed it was absolutely impossible to get out of the continent before the surrounding demonic tide arrived.

The so-called success is from this, and this is also the failure.

Rune Priest Helm was quite calm about his team's situation. As soon as he confirmed that evacuation was impossible, he had already contacted the mothership in orbit.

Under his arrangement, members of the team have planted numerous explosives.

According to the plan, if he can evacuate this place, then this bomb located in the center of the Third Continent, which is also the most unstable position in the earth's crust, will use a huge explosion that is enough to overturn the entire Third Continent in an instant to destroy the demonic tide here. Erase them all.

This news immediately attracted the attention of Wolfman, the wolf master of the Sea Wolf Company, and after thinking about it for a while, he gave Helm a new task.

Hold here until the last of Ballog's Space Wolves are gone.

Because this huge plate movement will inevitably affect the other two adjacent continents. The Wild Wolf squads stationed in other weapon base stations, especially those comrades stationed around the coastline, are bound to be affected by the tsunami caused by the explosion here in Helm.

So he had to stick here until all the teams were confirmed to leave.

He did not regret his report. In fact, after he discovered the tactical value here, he had already anticipated the tasks he would receive next.

But he didn't care.

Because he is like every veteran who walked from the snowfields of Fenris to the Wolf Fang and survived countless battles to become a "long-tusked" veteran.

They all believe that if the father's will is not the right time, no matter how difficult the battle is, he will definitely have a chance to survive.

And if the whole father is determined to take away his soul, he will also be happy to enjoy the sleep that truly belongs to the warriors after countless battles...

A plan that was accidental and inevitable was decided by Hoffman and Helm. And it was precisely because of his contact that it was difficult for Sea Wolf Dalian to abandon this place after discovering its special tactical value.

As a result, a series of tragic battles took place here in the next few hours.

Yes, a piece of trivia is that no matter whether the Space Wolves were in the legion era or the chapter era, their countless serving squads and squads, and companies and companies, had no obligation to support each other.

Unless the alpha wolf gives orders, they don't mind the death of their comrades; more often than not, they come together for the desire to hunt the same prey.

According to this logic, Helm and his team did not expect any support to arrive after the demonic tide arrived.

The scorching monsoon roared over his head, and the smell of sulfur from the surrounding mountains irritated his nose, while also sending information about distant enemies to his mind.

"Guard the A3 passage for at least 1,000 breaths, or consume enough of their strength before you can retreat!

If you don't have one, don't come back. When I come, I will personally rip the urinal off your neck! do you understand! "

Helm held a stick of tobacco, a specialty of Fenris, in his mouth, and explained his mission to his bloodclaw (recruit) Marsh.

He held an object that could not be distinguished as a staff or a chain ax in one hand, and threw the heavy ammunition box at Marsh's feet with the other hand.

"I understand, Dad!" The recruit looked at the thing that could barely be called "tobacco" in the veteran's mouth, and his heart was filled with curiosity. While repeatedly disassembling and assembling, familiarizing himself with the heavy bolter in his hand, he locked his gaze between Helm's two tusks. (PS: Space Wolves recruits do not have the right to use heavy weapons in regular combat. The battle here is a defensive battle, and it is a special situation where few recruits can touch heavy weapons.)

Although he knew that the stuff was quite toxic and was given to him by the pharmacist to suppress the pain on the veteran's body.

But that's how the wolf cub is. When he was born, he had no fear of anything around him. He will always maintain this "fearlessness" until he suffers the first unbearable pain in his life.

And what happens next? If he is still alive after that, he will have a new name - Gray Hunter.

"And remember not to close the passage when evacuating, and then turn right at the next intersection for 200 meters. There will be a detonator waiting for you!"

Helm was still explaining the details of the mission, but the young wolf's eyes were attracted by the wind in the distance, and he had obviously lost his patience.

This explanation is too detailed and may not be necessary in other war groups. But within the Space Wolves warband, it is a must-have skill for every fanged veteran.

The population of Geinfenris is already sparse, and the reason why the precious "new blood" of the wolves is called "Blood Claw" is because this group of soldiers who are red-eyed when fighting have no idea what to do with retreat.

If there is no strict discipline to control these young wolves, they will only hunt the first prey and sacrifice their blood to the wolf god in the north wind.

"Want a bite, Dad? Just a bite..." Finally, after Helm stopped speaking without finishing his words, Marsh licked his face and approached the old wolf.

The old wolf also knew that he should give this little guy an appropriate reward, so after carefully counting his inventory, he tore off a piece of tobacco in his hand with great distress.

"Stop it!" He looked at Marsh who was happily preparing tobacco, and then said seriously:

“Baby, you can use this thing, but I have two requirements, either you can come back alive and smoke it in front of me;

Or, you can only use it as a reserve for when the hormones in your body are used up. can you do it? "

"Yes!" Marsh agreed happily. After all, he got the thing, and it was his business how to use it.

Helm obviously also understood this truth. He looked at the wolf cub seriously for a few seconds, until the latter's ears were about to fall off, and then he slapped the thing in his hand heavily into Marsh's hand. Then he turned around and left a few words before leaving:

"Baby, come back alive."

Update, yesterday. The speed is still slow, and there was a community network outage in the middle. I uploaded it on my mobile phone, sorry for that.
