Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 355 Pursuit
"Secrets are sometimes like a wall. While isolating your thirst for knowledge, it also protects your soul."

These words come from a Chapter veteran who fought alongside Alan Janus on the battlefield of Orpheus.

It was also this gray knight who taught Allen a lot of combat knowledge during his short time together.

His body is far less powerful than the sons of Calvin of the new generation, but the words and deeds of this veteran are still fresh in Alan's memory even after dozens or hundreds of years have passed.

"To some extent, ignorance also represents purity. Since the Primarch did not explain it to him, it means that he is not qualified to touch these secrets..."

Allen, who had cleared his mind, did not hesitate any longer, and re-immersed his spirit in the will of the legion.After checking all the spiritual links habitually, he cautiously conveyed this memory down...

+? ? ? +
+ this is? +
+ I go!Daddy has something good!Where did it come from? +
+Inquisition, right?That is, they have been researching some weird things... +
+ By the way, did this capture an Alpha and dissect it? +
+ no!I'm more inclined, our people successfully infiltrated Alpha...+
+?Are you joking?my brother!You need to know what it means to infiltrate an army that specializes in intelligence! +
+Or an alpha who infiltrated us has turned traitor?Anyway, their position has always been a mystery... +
+ Or, in fact, Dad was also an Alpha?ha!do not hit me!I'm kidding...+
After distributing the information to the information node on the next level, Alan maintained a serious face and listened to the lively discussion in the channel calmly.

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more deviated from the battle itself, he had no choice but to stand up and end the discussion.

+ Cough cough... silence!It is forbidden to discuss non-combat content in the combat channel!Let you use it and you can use it. Where does so much curiosity come from?What about your discipline! +
Under the suppression of Allen, the eldest brother and commander, the communication channel that was originally lively became quiet again in an instant.

But even though the excitement on the surface was suppressed, in the maintenance hall where the gray knights gathered, after "experience" these memories, the gray knights couldn't help but smile happily when they met their colleagues in the queue. Facial expressions and whispered conversations to "communicate privately".

"Do you think there is a possibility..." A certain gray knight couldn't help but said to his comrades beside him.

"Everyone is Alpharius!" Another gray knight said instantly, and then the two of them laughed resonantly under the unemotional eyes of the machine servant.

"Me! He! What! I said it! Be quiet!"

Amidst the rare noise, the roar of Alan Janus sounded again in the center of the maintenance hall...

In the direction of the bridge, Calvin, who was on the domed throne, was watching from the imperial guards and the honor guard behind him, maintaining his serious expression focused on the naval battle.

The trivia that happened in the direction of the maintenance hall was within his perception, and the reactions of the sons of Calvin were also within his expectations.

But when some joking guesses appeared in the channel, the corners of his eyes still couldn't help twitching.

Well, although some of the Gray Knights' guesses are indeed outrageous, it has to be said that sometimes the most unlikely possibility is actually the closest to the truth.

Just as his origins are known only to the Emperor and the late Aidan, Grand Master of the Silver Blade, he is also unable to explain the origin of his memories to others.

Or even if he wanted to explain, but as a Gray Knight who fought on the front line against the subspace represented by the Chaos Gods, his origin itself was an extremely important secret, and even his colleagues couldn't reveal the slightest bit.

In these uploaded memories, Calvin has focused on cutting out the parts that may expose himself.

But if someone who is very familiar with him can still draw some inferences from the details...

Well, I don't want these anymore.Calvin smiled to himself.

At least these materials are only spread within the legion, and Calvin still has enough confidence in the strict discipline of the Gray Knights and their strong soul...

+ready+
"The battle is ready!"

The gray knight in the psychic channel arrived at the same time as the voice on the bridge in reality, waking Calvin from the memory of Alpha.

He raised his head and looked under the throne, meeting the eyes of the commanders on each deck who had completed their preparations.

The Unremitting Crusade has completed all preparations before the battle, and the commanders of the Gray Knight strike cruisers on both sides are also watching from the other side of the screen, waiting for the primarch's highest order.

it's time.

Calvin was sitting high on the throne, and the heavy anti-subspace armor outside the porthole of the battleship in front of him was slowly being pulled up.

He looked at the enemy as small as dust in the orbit of the planet ahead, and knew that the time of judgment had come.

Under the golden light of Ophelia's star, this demigod shining with silver light stood up to meet all the expectant eyes, and pointed the lightning claw representing anger and judgment at the enemy ahead:
"Fire! In the name of the Emperor! Destroy these traitors!"

"Fire!" The weapon commander of the Nova Cannon stood next to the communicator and shouted to the gunner. The latter nodded behind the bunker, and as the trigger under his feet was heavily stepped on, a violent nuclear flash appeared on the bow of the Indefatigable Jihad lights up.

boom!boom!
The thick beam of light instantly connected the battleship with the enemy thousands of miles away, drawing a bright trajectory in the galaxy.

On the flank of the Chaos Fleet, a heavy cruiser trying to buy time for the flagship, the ripples of the shield cracking and the terrifying sound effect of the fine gold armor being melted occurred at the same time.

"Fire!"

Under the huge double-mounted light spear array, the four weapon commanders in the cabin roared at the same time.The waist-thin energy supply cable heats up instantly, and the air is filled with the static hum of large energy releases.

The heavy cruiser "Bad Lie", whose shield had just been pierced by the Nova Cannon, has not yet recovered from the devastating blow, and the deadly light spear strikes followed one after another.

Eight fiery beams of light plowed across the body of the cruiser without its shield. After the dazzling light effect dimmed, the thousand-meter-long dark red scar on the fine gold armor was shocking.

But what is more deadly than this is that when the molten red light on the battleship armor dims, both the enemy and the enemy can see it, the [-]-meter-thick penetrating wound created by the Nova Cannon on the engine room.

"Effective strike! The target is paralyzed!" The weapon commander immediately reported the observed aftereffect of the strike.

"Judgement, the possibility of loss of engine room function is 45%, the possibility of paralysis due to casualties is 40%, and the loss of heat dissipation circuit function is 90%"

Priest Klein made a judgment on the received information, while Tabers glanced at the summarized information, and directly gave the next order:

"Leave the rest to the escort fleet, let's continue."

"Received!" The weapon commander replied.At the same time, the commander of the frigate also responded.

The exchange of fire between the two sides is still going on, and all members of the fleet have aimed their firepower at other warships.

On both sides of the battle line of the main fleet, the escort fleet is already advancing towards the dead end of Bad Lie's shooting range, while pulling hundreds of torpedoes into a long fan shape, heading towards the "Bad Lie" that can only rely on inertia to move forward. shoot.

The latter's few remaining macro-cannons were still firing in the direction of the Imperial Fleet, presumably the crew members of the ship were trying to buy time for the main fleet to escape.

But in the eyes of the commanders of the enemy and us, it is like a member of a wolf pack whose legs and feet have been bitten in a battle. It has sharp teeth, but it has been marked with the death label in advance.

The Grand Fleet maintained its line of battle under the command of Tibers, inserting obliquely towards the center of the galaxy.

The three times superiority of troops made them unscrupulous. Knowing that the enemy had no way to resist, the tactic of maximizing firepower became their first choice.

The Chaos Fleet was much more embarrassed. They tried to break away at the beginning of the battle, but they were forced to face it head-on because they missed the best time.

But this is nothing more than a helpless choice to survive. After seeing the balance of power between the enemy and ourselves, the fleet commander knew that there was no hope of escaping from being pursued all the way. Chance escapes into the warp.

Unfortunately, they failed to succeed even in this plot.Fate fully embodies its irony here:
Just when the Chaos Fleet was preparing for battle, Ophelia 7, which had been ravaged by their gunfire for two whole weeks, roared out with an anti-ship base weapon that had been hidden several kilometers underground. Significantly different opinions...
