Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 280 Strange group and alarm from afar

Passing through the training hall and the equipment warehouse, the two walked all the way to the main body of the training hall, which is also the widest chapel.

Alan Janus and a gray knight had been waiting at the door for a long time, and they greeted them with a smile after seeing their figures.

Nicholas was no stranger to this situation. After he returned to Calvin's side, this strange situation happened every day at work.

The hull of the Retribution Angel is not too small, but there are not many passages that can accommodate the Astartes level.

The day after Nicholas boarded the ship, he found that the Gray Knight he met was different from before.

As long as he meets a group of gray knights in a certain corridor, there will never be other gray knights coming towards him in the next course of action.

This kind of situation is not only reflected in the daily walks in the ship. After Alan Janus and him clearly divided the scope of work and took away the defense of the fleet, the frequency of this kind of thing happened more frequently.

Nicholas could sense the existence of the other Gray Knights, and they didn't try to hide.

But against the background of this perception, it was those gray knights who seemed to have been notified earlier, far out of his sight, and bypassed the passage that was too narrow for each other.

The same is true of colleagues around him, and King and Alexander have talked to him about it more than once.

If they didn't know the number of gray knights serving on this battleship clearly, it would be difficult for them to see from the gray knights they could see that the number of gray knights was equivalent to the information.

These relatives, wouldn't they be opening psychic communication around the clock?

Nicholas sometimes doubts like this, but this kind of large-scale, continuous use of power, just thinking about it, feels unrealistic.

It is impossible to ask, after all each Legion has their own secrets;

Nor do they have the right to interrogate a Primarch without an express order from the Emperor.

"Cough! What's the matter? Tell me."

Calvin coughed resemblingly, signaling to Alan Janus that he could explain the matter in front of Nicholas clearly.

"Yes..." Alan bowed his head in response, and glanced at Nicholas secretly by the way.

With the psychic link open almost around the clock, the communication with Calvin in the legion did not require Alan himself to be present as before.

In the communication authority of the legion, the first-level channel that belongs to the direct connection between the officers and Calvin is enough for them to communicate with most of the daily matters.

But in order to maintain a normal state in front of "outsiders", Allen still rushed to the gate of the training ground from the other side of the battleship after docking the matter with Calvin.

Yes, just now Calvin was discussing the next itinerary with the officers in the legion, and at the same time had a "teaching" confrontation with Nicholas.

This kind of multi-threaded simultaneous work is the norm in his now mature brain;
Now his brain is not only a tool for his own thinking, but also a valve for the collection of information leading to the will of the legion deep in his soul in the legion mode.

This powerful information processor, when the Gray Knights Legion is not in a war state, is in a second-level response state that is inseparable from his soul;
During daily work and internal training, he also needs to use his brain to sort out the information communicated within the Legion.

But in a state of war, he is obliged to be united with his soul essence;
While undertaking the torrent of information of the entire legion, it is also responsible for the integration of the huge wave of spiritual energy from different souls when all the spiritual energy is linked together to fight.

"Three hours ago, the fleet navigator reported that our journey is only one day away from the icy veil."

Allen whispered, pulled the data pad in his hand, and handed it to Calvin.

Nicholas on the side gathered his thoughts, and turned his attention to the star chart on the data board.

"Then?"

Calvin looked at the red dot mark on the data board, a dark green triple skull was marked on the edge of the icy veil.

"After summarizing the information from the Tribunal, it was conveyed to us that there is a high possibility of chaos pollution on the channel ahead."

"The specific location and scale." Calvin's tone became serious, and Nicholas also raised his ears, listening carefully to what was said to him.

"The Virax galaxy is extremely far away from the icy veil. The two galaxies are in the same star area at the opposite angle of the Milky Way's equator line. The disease has already begun to occur from different planets in the star area, and the bishop world of the capital has three There is no signal feedback for a cycle, and the trial court speculates that it should have fallen there."

"Where are the Imperial troops nearby?
Nicholas looked at Allen. The conventional defense mechanism should have been activated at this time, but the Verax galaxy on the star map does not have any imperial army logo.

"There is no established Star Territory Army nearby. The star fleet has just been transferred by the star field government. Now it should fight in the direction of Dreska."

"Where is the Astartes battle group?" Calvin looked carefully at the star map, but he couldn't find the sign marking the battle group's residence.

"There is no battle group stationed here for the time being. There is only a Deathwatch fortress at the nearest location, which is still used as a training base."

Well, Nicholas looked at the two people in front of him without a word, and this aid to Vilax seemed imperative.

Against the backdrop of a complete void of imperial power nearby, he saw no reason to hold back Calvin's involvement.

"We must intervene there! If Nurgle's disease cannot be contained in the early stage, what will be left there will only be a mess."

Calvin set the tone for the event, and the Custodian Captain could not object to it.

"The speech that was supposed to be on the icy veil..."

Nicholas still wanted to make a final struggle, but in the face of Calvin's serious expression, he finally chose to remain silent.

The Retribution Angel began to slowly enter a state of war.

The members of the Inquisition in the cabin were awakened by the Gray Knights from the dormant state of the Warp voyage.

The complex awakening and purity test ritual has been temporarily simplified:
The first scene they saw when they opened their eyes from the soft bed.

It was those silver-armored giants from the Order of the Hammer, who were coming to the door with a sharp halberd in one hand and a tome with a gold horn on the cover in the other.

These giants ignored their questions, and recited the cipher text on the ancient books in their hands in a low voice in ancient runes.

The purity test, which would have lasted several hours, was forcibly shortened to less than a few minutes under the blessing of the Devil Code.

After confirming the purity of the people in front of them, they opened their mouths and bared their white teeth and smiled at the confused members of the trial court:
"Arise, in the name of the Emperor and the Titans, we have work to do!"

At the same time, since the fleet set off, it has been quietly driving in the fleet sequence. On the "Interstellar Labyrinth" with no sense of presence, Moloch, the head of the Minotaur Chapter, has also slowly opened up. eyes.
