Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

"Issue number 3900*0423 initiated a notice, and the scheduled progress has been completed."

The servo skull with the levitation system floated between the two, interrupting their conversation.

Calvin didn't say any more, but looked at the position of Furnace Star through the porthole covered by the protective deck for a few seconds, and then walked towards the gray ceramic steel door.

Nicholas followed closely behind, following the Primarch to the corridor outside the door.

The honor guard on duty nodded slightly after seeing the two, and then raised the halberd in their hands and followed them silently.

A group of people walked towards the special elevator leading to the lower floor of the bridge. The knocking sound of steel boots on the deck was spontaneously consistent with the original body, and it was impossible to distinguish them without listening carefully.

"Inform the Parthenon Inquisitor that the scheduled meeting has been postponed until four hours later."

Estimating the time he might spend in the test area, Calvin confessed to the company commander of the imperial guards beside him.

The intelligence analysis meeting on the status quo of the Jamoro Star Region was supposed to start after the fleet departed, but it was finally postponed until today due to various previous affairs.

Calvin hoped to sort out the situation there before reaching Jamolo, but what he didn't know was that the situation there had long since escaped the control of the empire.

And the larger-scale pollution brewing there and the confrontation within the empire have already deviated from his worst predictions.

Sending the Primarch's order through the data pad in his hand, Nicholas nodded to Calvin.

And Calvin kept on stepping, and he was still discussing the issue of the Eye of the Empire with the former.

"I watched the recent tactical drills of the Forbidden Army, and I think you have heard enough of the praises. I just want to say one thing. The anti-subspace combat effect is not ideal. What do you want to say?"

This was a question that Nicholas had anticipated, but when the Primarch asked him the question, he was inevitably caught in a moment of embarrassment.

"...with no intention of explaining, we do fall short in this regard."

Nicholas's expression remained unchanged, only his eyes flickered slightly, and his recovery was a little stuttered for a moment, and then he returned to normal.

But that says a lot by itself.It is extremely rare for the proud Emperor Eagle Guard to admit defeat.

"...you..." Calvin was also hesitating whether to take care of the pride of the imperial guards.But since the imperial army is going to return to the battlefield of the empire, this is a problem they cannot escape.

In the end, the Primarch chose to expose the problem, so as to avoid unnecessary damage caused by unnecessary pride.

"Go and get Sister Silence back, even if you once...betrayed them."

"...I will report the truth to Lord Trajan and seriously consider your suggestion."

Nicholas said so, and ended this short conversation with this attitude.

"That's it..." Calvin, who was standing at the elevator door, was about to say goodbye to Nicholas when a sudden shock interrupted his conversation.

The scarlet warning light instantly replaced the blue and white conventional lighting, and inside the battleship that suddenly became dark red, the siren from the direction of the bridge was broadcasting emotionlessly:

"Warning! Warning! Emergencies 0963, High Collision Warning! Repeat! High Collision Warning! Please follow the "Regulations" to avoid in advance!"

"What's the situation?" Calvin connected the direction of the bridge, and Fleet Admiral Tabers informed him of the current situation:

"Energy turbulence caused by unknown reasons, and there may be space-time interference in the core part. The fleet is turning to evade, there is no big problem."

"How many times has this happened to us in three days?" Calvin was not convinced by Tibbers' explanation, but frowned to confirm with the former.

There was nothing Tibers could do about it, he could only tell Calvin the speculation of the chief engineer, Bishop Klein:
"It is indeed dense and somewhat abnormal. Bishop Klein means that there may be some kind of interference source in our fleet, which is continuously releasing signals that can attract this part of energy.

It is recommended that all high psionic activities be avoided as much as possible during this time to avoid unintended effects. "

"Got it, check! I'm waiting for your result!"

Calvin hung up the communication to bid farewell to the guards of the imperial guards, and then stepped on the elevator leading to the laboratory in the middle area.

At this time, there are not many people in the test area. The mechanical priest Stovan, who has completely defected to Mars and joined the Order of Ominous Omen, is here to take charge of the work instead of Constantine.

When Calvin and the members of the honor guard appeared at the door of the laboratory, the technologist, who was born on Mars but wore the cloak of the Order of Omen, showed his not-so-pious faith in a rare prayer to the Emperor.

"Bless the Emperor! You are finally here! The transformation of the Psionic components of the Bell of Erebus has been completed, and it is waiting for you to activate it!"

"Activate?" Calvin just wanted to agree to Stowan's request, but he remembered Tibers' warning in a blink of an eye.

"Change the time." Calvin looked at the brand-new Erebus clock in the experimental hall, and said to Stowan beside him.

The Clock of Erebus, which is composed entirely of psionic metal parts, has discarded many redundant parts to make up for performance.Its shape is also very different from Calvin's previous impression.

And what concerned Calvin the most was its overall shape. The entire huge device became closer to a spherical shape after losing its edges and corners.

And under this device, there is an extra chain of unknown purpose.

"I'm afraid it won't work..." Stowan unexpectedly rejected Calvin's "proposal", even though he knew the meaning of the person in front of him to the Order of Ominous Omens.

The Primarch turned his head after hearing Stowan's refusal. After recalling the details of the signal source mentioned by Tibers before, his gaze at Stowan quickly changed from accident to Condescending suspicion and scrutiny.

"I will give you a chance to explain, monk. You should cherish it."

The Primarch's tone was not high-pitched, but whether it was Stowan himself who faced the Primarch directly or the honor guard behind Calvin, they all knew the obvious suspicion and murderous intent.

Subspace navigation itself is a dangerous thing, and what Calvin is responsible for at this juncture is the safety of the entire fleet.

In fact, there is no need for the Primarch to order them to take action. In the silence that Stowan did not respond, the psionic long sword on Gordon's waist has been slowly pulled out amidst the sound of metal friction. .

"We may not have another chance." Stowan looked up in suffocating silence and explained to Calvin.

"The psionic metals extracted from the hulk are only enough for this recombination, and according to our observations, the activity of these metals is irreversible like decay. If I miss this activation, then I don't know if I can find other similar ones substance."

"Why now?" Calvin asked.

"Because the final parts are just being formed, and the metal consumption of this part of the parts is far more than we expected."

"Which part?" Calvin asked.

"Here, that's the chain."

Update, there is another chapter, but maybe later.
