Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 221 Convergence, Meeting Allies Again

The war in the occupied area is over.

And as the Revenant Redeemer and the Star Labyrinth packed up, they began to return to Orpheus.

The edge of Leyak, on the way they must pass, is still in full swing at this moment.

A lively scene on the Wraith Redeemer before sailing into the Warp.

Calvin's return is not only a great encouragement to the newborn "Sons of the Legion", but the veterans also see the hope of the Chapter's development and sacred mission.

The members of the honor guard stood in the distance of the barracks, watching Jule and Gavins meet the crowd brought by Calvin, without making a sound for a long time.

They are a little hesitant about their mission, and their position is a little awkward in front of the newborn son of Calvin.

But the connection and assimilation of souls cannot be faked. After talking briefly with the two high-level legions, Calvin turned his attention to these veterans standing quietly in the corner.

The soul link was established silently again, and Calvin's heart, which has grown a lot, now also has the thickness and warmth of being an elder.

"Everything is fine?"

"Ahem...that's pretty good."

Across the crowd, Calvin communicated with other personnel, and at the same time talked with these champion swordsmen on the psionic channel.

Today's honor guard is no longer the 12-member organization when it was first established, and there are only 8 members including Gavins after previous battle losses.

Three of them were lost in battle, which Calvin witnessed; the rest died while waiting in the battle of Orpheus.

The minds of the veterans have no intention of hiding, Calvin sees them clearly;
And Calvin's thoughts were not reserved for them, but were fully open to them.

"Don't get entangled, I have no right to make decisions about the other veterans of the battle group. But you and I will definitely come back. Be prepared. As long as the battle here is over, I will prepare for your transformation ceremony when you return to Titan."

"Your will!"

The remaining seven champion swordsmen finally stopped struggling. Since they still wanted to follow in Calvin's footsteps, why would they be reluctant to give up their dignity as veterans and become a member of Calvin's sons?

Their Primarch had made the choice for them, they just had to settle down and wait.

The champion swordsmen got a satisfactory reply and disappeared into the corner of the barracks without a sound.

And Calvin had to stop walking towards the bridge, and turned his head to walk to the flight deck under the prompt of Tabers from the direction of the bridge.

According to his reminder, the leader of the Tauren Chapter, an ally who has contributed a lot in this operation, is coming.

Calvin also had a different feeling for this Astartes warrior who was regarded as an alternative "eternal life" in a certain sense.

3000 years passed by in Calvin's eyes without leaving any traces on him.

But in the eyes of the chapter masters who trusted him and entrusted him with all their wealth, it may be the other side of time that they can't reach in their lifetime.

The wars of the Empire never cease, and neither do the battles the Chapters face.

Thousands of years is enough time to completely transform a nation, let alone a Chapter Astartes?

Without thinking about it, Calvin already knew that the current high-level leaders must not be those of the past.

And this orphan of the Iron Warrior, who had a distinctive personality and left enough impressions on Calvin, was the only old man Calvin knew.

He must give this loyalist enough respect.

Whether for the diplomatic needs of the two Chapters, or for the unwavering loyalty of this loyal ally through the millennia.

All of the above are worthy of Calvin's warmest response to Moloch.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing Calvin's familiar white clothes from a distance, Moloch's three-meter-high bronze body who had just stepped off the Storm Eagle gunboat instantly quickened his pace and threw off the entourage behind him.

When he walked up to the even taller Calvin and knelt down on one knee, his chief pastor, Ivanus, had just walked down the gangway with his unchanging dragging feet for thousands of years.

"The Emperor's Blessing!"

Under the helmet of Ivanus' white skull, his eyes widened in disbelief.

What did he see?
His own battle group leader, who was as burly as a god of war, actually met a big guy who was two heads taller than him and twice his size?
And still no armor, just the height of the body?
The figure of the leader of his own war group, who is almost eternal like a god, sitting on the bronze throne, is kneeling on one knee for others?

"Is the empire dead?"

Ivanus, who didn't know what day and night it was, couldn't hold back anymore. The quiet but authoritative persona collapsed in an instant, and he asked the Gray Knight beside him in a voice.

"I-give-you-the privilege of saying it again."

A cold and calm voice came from behind the Holy Shield Crusader helmet in front of Ivanus, and the crackling halberd of divine punishment was being slowly clenched by the welcoming gray knight.

It seems that the next second will stab the ally in front of him.

Even if he is an ally who welcomes his own Primarch back, he can only allow one chance to make a slip of the tongue!
"Sorry, lost my word."

Ivanus, who instantly confessed his fear, no longer tried to maintain his character set outside, and the gray knight in front of him reminded him that these special Astartes were different from what he had seen before.

In front of these "compatriots" who are rumored to be of extremely noble blood, his character design did not bring the usual benefits.

The huge body of Moloch in the distance has been held by Calvin with both hands, and he walked towards the back of the crowd holding his hand.

Ivanus, who was eager to catch up with the team, didn't ask any more questions, but accelerated his pace and merged into the crowd of the brigade.

"You guys have worked hard!"

Calvin took Moloch's hand and said sincerely.

In the film and television works he saw in his previous life, this kind of words was complained and disgusted countless times by him;
But when he really sat in this position, he understood that if he wanted to express the deepest emotion with the simplest words, he really had no choice.

The 3000-year steadfastness in his place didn't make much sense to him, but because he didn't feel it, he felt even more indebted to these allies who had waited so long.

"Uh... Your Highness has worked hard?"

Moloch's memory of him is still 3000 years ago, when he was not angry and arrogant, and wanted to kill him at every turn.

The "half-eternal" doesn't have much sense of the passage of time either:
Facing Calvin's reappearance, apart from the relief that a promise he had made was fulfilled, he was only left with the fear of seeing his parents after the exam.

But the latter was obviously not as severe as he had imagined. Calvin now had a holistic view and no longer needed to use force to establish authority.

Whether it is power or military might.

Today, he has the right to speak in the empire's power system, or the allies cultivated in the Astartes battle group;
All allow him to have an equal dialogue with any force with full confidence.

Since Calvin, whose situation is gradually expanding, has no need to confirm his status, he will not easily show his allies the wrath of thunder.

"Hahahahaha... Come on, tell me about your development over the years!"

Reminded by Moloch's answer, Calvin laughed heartily when he thought of the classic dialogue during the military parade in his previous life.

Then he involuntarily used his inhuman strength to pull away the huge body of the tauren leader.

Under the puzzled eyes of the latter, he led the crowd to the depths of the Revenant Redeemer...

　The idea is very interesting, interested friends can take a look.
