Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

"Really, troubled times..."

Looking at the dark clouds that were abnormally accumulating above the Holy City in the sky out of the control of the artificial atmosphere, the new owner of Ophelia [-], the Supreme Holy See Clarence, sighed in a low voice.

When the storm blew up, the damp air blew over his prematurely aged face and emaciated frame under the hood.

The Servant of Servants who held the Emperor's Faith looked away from the distance and turned away from the terrace.

He passed through the scarlet curtain lifted by the storm, and knelt before the Emperor's icon in the dim light of the holy candle and prayed in a low voice:

"On the golden throne in the midst of reality and high heaven, O Lord, please send down your mercy..."

The holy bell overhead echoed his murmur with its first heavy hum.

With the Holy Light Chapel as the center, the priests waiting on the spiers of the forest opened their eyes.There was a worried look in the ancient well-like eyes...

"Amid lightning and storm, Savior of our faith, save us..."

Clarence's prayers continued, and the priests rang the alarm bell on the stormy tower.

The bells carrying weak psionic energy spread out round and round, even the rain falling from the sky retreated.

Under the apron above the teaching city, there are countless air corridors connected to it, with silver armor flashing.That was the battle nuns walking out of the Valkyrie against the strong wind, and the armor on their bodies occasionally flashed through the battle robes.

"Amid plague, temptation and war, my Emperor, save us..."

The various portals in the middle layer of the teaching city are slowly closing, and among the crowded sea of ​​pilgrims, the evangelists are trying their best to guide the crowd to a safe space, not caring about wiping their rain-stained faces.

At the transportation hub leading to the outer city, the defenders watched every vehicle carrying goods with wide eyes.However, the enemies who once lived in the warehouse have long been hidden in the curtain of darkness...

"Amidst the blasphemy of the Fallen, my Emperor, save us..."

In the sanctuary on the lower floor, all the soldiers of the Brotherhood of the Holy Light assembled, holding their halberds and holding their halberds on high alert.

With the sonorous footsteps of the nuns reloading their armor in the distant corridor, these highly nervous soldiers finally relaxed with relief.

But it was the slackness of these few breaths, a smoke-like existence wandered from the edge of their field of vision, flashed past the intersection of shadows a second before the crowd arrived, and finally disappeared in the church of the Holy Relic. deep……

"Lord, save us.

May you never let them go,

May you never forgive them.

We implore you to destroy them, to bring death to sinners..."

The neat pre-battle prayer ended here, and the assembled battle nuns stood up under the leadership of the big nun, looking directly at the battlefield they were about to guard.

"This is it?" A cold voice came from the crowd.

"Yes, it is here. You can trust the faith of these warriors, the holy relics are infallible here."

Among the crowd in the shadows, a ray of dark red came under the light. The blood-red priest's gown and the imperial eagle emblem embroidered with intricate gold thread on his body were daunting.

His arrival has already made the soldiers of the Brotherhood of the Holy Light nervous, but unfortunately, this is still not the leader of the crowd.

clang... clang... clang...

The steel boots of the feedback power armor trampled on the ancient stone slab wantonly, and a particularly tall figure stepped out from the fully armed battle nuns.

Clang!
The ornate two-handed sword was covered with ceramic steel gauntlets, and the sharp edge engraved with stigmata pierced through the latter amidst the wailing sound of the stone slab.

Sister Aliya Medeiros casually tore off the hood on her head. On her old face full of scars, her falcon-like eyes looked around the terrain around the church.

The cardinal wanted to introduce, but she had already ordered:
"In the name of Lord Calvin, the supreme judge of the Imperial Senate!

In the name of Bishop Clarence, Holy See of the Empire!

Your mission is over!

Hand over the defense here immediately!And get out of here after a full search! "

Before she finished speaking, the adjutant behind her had already stepped forward and began to issue specific instructions for taking over the defense.

"The Lycian team immediately went to the target location and confirmed the status of the target!"

"Vivienne, Aisha, you take over the defense nearby!"

"Catherine, you and your sister are in charge of searching these guards!"

Seeing the Battle Sisters behind them extending to both sides, driving away the guards on the sentry post one by one, the forward team broke through the human wall of the Brotherhood of the Holy Light and disappeared into the dark corridor.

The big nun nodded in satisfaction, and then said to the adjutant Sandra who gave the order:

"You maneuver with a small team.

The rest, follow me! "

After speaking, the Battle Sister, led by the Great Sister, walked straight to the depths of the corridor.

"Really..."

The cardinal stood where he was, not knowing how to react to the brutality of the nuns.

The hilt of the sword that St. Sebastian had left for them was no longer in their hands.Seriously speaking, the current scene is self-inflicted, and he can't persuade himself not to care.

"The sacred object is stolen!" The sharp warning woke him up from his reflection, but the content of the warning made him even more at a loss.

It was still the big nun Aliya in the middle of the corridor who reacted instantly. She turned her head and looked at the only door leading to the outside, and gave the clearest order:
"Close the passage! The enemy has infiltrated units! Close the passage immediately!"

tom!
A gunshot from a distance interrupted the great nun's passionate voice from a physical level.
-
"Find it!"

Before the Thunderhawk painted with the emblem of the Fist of the Empire had come to a stop, Hohnthorne couldn't wait to jump out of the hatch that opened.

However, what awaited him was the negative expression of the squad sergeant:
"The serial number tracking shows that before we took measures, this batch of materials had already entered the logistics terminal of the City of Divine Grace."

"Have you notified the Holy Hermitage?"

He urgently needs to know the current situation in the city, especially whether those Emperor's Daughters have received enough information to support them.

"Already notified."

Sergeant Lee said.But before Hounthorne could react, he brought even worse news to the Imperial Fist's company commander.

"After the Chopam Starport entered a state of emergency, the other 23 Starports also conducted emergency self-inspections..."

"Then?" Hornthorne's heart sank slowly, mentioning this matter at this juncture can only mean...

"We also found more traces of infiltrators, and they don't belong to the same force..."

"…………Can you say that again?"

The rage of the Astartes was so intense that the whole viscera struggled to contain the former's rage.

Hornthorne was almost dazzled by this shame and humiliation, but the remaining will was like a steel wire, firmly strangling his anger, making him use the remaining reason to make the final confirmation.

"We found traces of other infiltrators..."

"Enough!" Hornthorn growled hoarsely.

what is this?
Treat him as a market?Come and go as you want?
Such brazen access to the realms of the Empire guarded by the Sons of Dorne?
How does this embarrass the Imperial Fist, which is famous for its defense and fortress building?

What arrogance!
What contempt!
Especially when he just received Calvin's request for support, Hounthorne couldn't imagine how he would face the "adult" he had just maliciously speculated about if the holy relic was lost!
He stared at the sky with bloodshot eyes, gritted his molars and said the order word by word:

"Notify the whole company! Stop all training plans!
I want to see them take over all the transportation hubs in God's Grace City within a quarter of an hour!
Notify the Navy Fleet!Immediately suspend the operation of all shipping lanes in the galaxy!
Detain all ships in the galaxy, and shoot to kill if there is any resistance! "

One more, today, I have a bad headache.
