Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

The Wind Angels, a force affiliated with the Order of the Holy Rose, are a force that is often misidentified from the perspective of the outside world by their sisters who are similar to themselves, the Seraphs.

The same tactical positioning, the same equipment, the same organization, and even the same class within the order are the "results" of their external performance;

Different origins, different selection standards and even different promotion paths mean that they have completely different divisions of labor and definitions in the "divine" organization of the Order.

There is no need to go into detail about the latter, which is almost the pinnacle of the non-transformation system in the imperial force.

Each Seraph is a warrior of the highest caliber, worthy of the respect of all within and without the Order.

There is actually only one selection criterion for the former, and that is - those who can listen to the emperor's edict.

Yes, this is the definition of wind angels and the "special" mission they have.

Each Wind Angel is from a sister who is believed to be able to "listen" to the "Voice of the Emperor" for a long time after undergoing ritual appraisal.

And it is these "puzzle" sounds that make them gradually lose the ability to communicate with their comrades as time goes by.

They still have a strong will to fight and are still willing to take up arms to fight for the Emperor, but their poor communication skills make them almost independent of the entire company.

Therefore, unlike the promotion paths from low to high and bottom to top of all other military organizations, the ranks of the Wind Angels are very strange... they are reversed.

Only newly promoted nuns who are confirmed to be Wind Angels will be appointed as the commander of the team while maintaining certain communication skills;

And when their connection with the Emperor becomes closer and they lose the ability to communicate with the outside world, there will naturally be successors and take over this position.

Padilla is such a "lucky guy."

She has just completed her tenth year of service at the grassroots level (the Sisters of Atonement, Medical Sisters, and Death Cult Assassins are not included), and she is only one step away from being promoted to a Clean Angel representing the elite.

"Fantasy" and unintelligible "voices" began to appear in her mind from time to time.

In this way, the purity ritual becomes the only way to tell whether she is contaminated.

After going through the life-and-death ceremony, she became a glorious Wind Angel, and on the first day she entered this special force, she was awarded the title of Commander of the Wind Angel Team...

Unlike all her predecessors, Padilla did not have the opportunity to gradually lose her language skills during her long service.

On the contrary, after experiencing the Battle of Farr, she became the first among this generation of Wind Angels to "hear" the voice of the Emperor...

But the problem is that the sound she heard came a little too late...

The trap of the traitorous legion appeared almost at the same time as the omen in her mind.

And Selvi's fallen figure fell in front of her, at the moment when her mind and body were on the verge of collapse.

In the slowly opening door of the church, she also saw another familiar figure.

That is the person they are most familiar with, the person this battle sister has fought alongside countless times, and the person they trust the most:

Anglican priest - Kaczynski.

This traitor who betrayed his faith openly walked at the forefront of the rebels.

And it was the appearance of this person that explained Padilla's doubts that had been buried in her heart - how did the enemy know about them, and how did they know this secret location.

Padilla passed out but was not completely unconscious.

Her consciousness seemed to be pulled out of her body by some force, and she ruthlessly "observed" the entire battlefield from an overlooking perspective.

Inside the main entrance of the church, rows of armored Rippers were marching out;

At the ends of the two streets, there were two rows of tall shield guards slowly approaching.

Countless gray figures emerged from the shadows of the corridor.

The dark green eyepieces on the uniform helmet and gas mask are the only features, and the Agrippina laser gun in their hands is their standard weapon.

The two teams occupied the empty streets, and at the end of the field of vision behind them, there was the faint roar of the engines of armored vehicles.

A team of at least a thousand people, not counting the soldiers occupying positions in the shadows.

Padilla thought in her heart, but surprisingly there was no fear or anger.

The enemy does indeed pay enough attention to them. Just from the number of these soldiers, it can be known that this should at least be a complete company in the Astral Legion.

Her sisters were backing away, dragging her along as they tried to occupy the building opposite the church.

But both the enemy and she knew clearly that they were dead.

If this manpower is used in mobile warfare, there is still room for improvement, but this is a defensive warfare, and there is no deep space to speak of.

To be fair, that building plus her remaining sisters, in the face of an enemy of this scale, were just people waiting to be killed in one or two waves of attacks.

What the enemy has to consider is nothing more than the cost of killing them.

Time, or blood? That makes no difference to these traitors.

As long as one or two waves of offensives or waiting for tank fire to be in place, this bit of resistance is a flame destined to be extinguished.

And all she can do is watch her sisters, because of her own stupidity and carelessness, die meaninglessly in this unknown corner...

Is she willing? how come!

Is she angry? certainly!

So the flames accumulated in the soul, and the soul was struggling violently!

"Emperor..."

She had chanted this holy name countless times, but only this time did she feel fully committed.

The desire for revenge made her burn everything she had, even the instinct of self-protection was ignored!

"Please listen to my prayers!" Padilla's soul was weeping, and even the reflection in the warp had bloody tears falling.

The ancient starry sky was moved by her soul at this moment, and the existence of Terra in the distance was also moved!

"Please give me the power of revenge! Please give your servants a chance to stand up again and clean up the dirt that should not exist in this world!"

Will there really be a response?

Padilla's thoughts were swaying, and then she felt ashamed of her wavering faith.

But when her soul prayed with the most humble attitude, what was waiting for her in the void was still endless coldness and silence...

"It's my fault..." Padilla began to reflect.

Seeking help from the Emperor was her extravagant hope and transgression. Thoughts and beliefs have never been a transaction, and the existence of the Emperor is not the old god!

She re-examined her short life and beliefs, and reconfirmed the reason why she first learned the name of the Emperor and knelt in the monastery.

Duty is not a burden, and faith is a reward!

Padilla, who mustered up her courage again, had no hesitation. Her soul was sublimated in an instant, and she understood the source of power without a teacher.

A golden spark appeared in her soul, and the moment it appeared, the spark began to burn with her existence and everything as fuel!

"Now!" Padilla's soul shouted loudly, and the soul fire that burned everything also responded to her call!

The wind angel, who felt the existence of the flesh again, opened his eyes in the arms of his comrades.

And the ancient and distant existence also lowered the golden crown representing him and the white wings representing the pure will of mankind at this time!

"As you wish!" said the voice.
