Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 68 Happiness in the gap
Daily Thought: "Anyone who doesn't wear a helmet is the protagonist..."

After leaving the heating tower at the upper entrance of the Hive Capital, Calvin and the others finally arrived at the upper level of the Hive Capital.There is not much further up the road.

Strictly speaking, the upper floor and the top floor of the hive capital are not two floors. They belong to the same structure as the laurel wreath on the upper floor of the hive capital. The top floor has always been the spire of the laurel wreath symbolizing authority and wealth. with gems adorning it.

And the upper hives make up the laurel wreath itself.

In terms of internal architectural structure, there is no complete physical distinction between the upper floor and the top floor.The man-made checkpoints and the gates of the palace were only to reflect the power of the abode of the master of this huge city.

But complete isolation can never exist, because as the actual user of the entire superstructure, it is also the main component of the superstructure of the planetary capital, the political building.

The daily work of these nobles living on the upper floors all the year round is to handle government affairs and sundries for their masters in the palace on the top floor of the hive capital, which have been reported by the bottom managers layer by layer.

No matter from the location of their residence or the specific management organization of the imperial decree at the administrative level of the galaxy, the upper-level residents have the treatment and preferential treatment that match their status.

Calvin and others quickly walked from the edge of the laurels to the top.

And although it has not been directly seen, it can be said that the stink that permeates the perception of these psykers and that belongs to chaos is already quite obvious.

While the group of people was quietly moving towards the target according to the existing map information, the communication signal with the strike cruiser on the track, which was interrupted by the barriers of many buildings, was unknowingly restored.

The rear personnel above the track also lost the information of the ground team for more than three hours and were pleasantly surprised to find that the life signal representing Calvin and his party reappeared on the scanning results of the augury of the soul savior.

They couldn't wait to initiate a communication request to Calvin, hoping to continue to provide these Gray Knights who were performing high-risk missions on the ground with all the support that the orbiting strike cruisers could have.

These supports include, but are not limited to, the download of the latest map information, more accurate indications of psionic transmission beacons provided by the enhanced auspicious instrument, and fixed-point strikes from orbital light spears or macro cannons that may be slightly delayed...

"Revenant Redeemer has information access..." In Calvin's ear, on a separate communication device, the contact signal on the track began to prompt. (Not wearing a helmet is a bad habit. There are data to prove that the Astartes who don't wear a helmet on the battlefield...are they the protagonist...)
He didn't stop, but turned around and glanced left and right at Gavins and Tariq, and the two immediately understood his intentions in the thought channel.

With Calvin's slightly slower pace, the two of them speeded up to pass through Calvin's position in silence, taking over from him as the spearhead of the entire team.

The same was true for the four following Terminator, they tacitly accelerated from both sides, covering the flanks and rear of Calvin who was about to communicate with the strike cruiser above the track.

算上队伍前端的盖文斯与戈尔登，整支队伍七个人的阵形从1-2-2-2到-2-3-2的调整就完成在5步以内。

Behind the six terminators are two interceptor teams, and behind them is another five-man terminator team led by the guard's vice-captain Golden.

They also began to change from the original wedge shape to an inverted trapezoid shape that is more suitable for defense after being notified in the thinking channel.

During the quiet march, your brother troops suddenly changed their marching formation and preparation posture without any warning or signal, and they completed this adjustment within five steps with your troops in the middle, what would you do? think?
(These grandchildren of MUA show their faces, right? Show off? Sooner or later, I will give them all to Tutu!)

Well, the above thoughts belong only to some mortal-turned-scribing-servant author in the underworld of Titan, not to the great Gray Knights.

In short, the interceptors may have been numb from seeing too much along the way or for other reasons.

After the two arbitrators confirmed that there was no hostility to such a change, their final reaction to this was just a collision of sights between each other, and there was nothing else to say.

"Call the Revenant Redeemer, this is the ground execution team, this is Calvin, please call back."

"Call the ground execution team, this is the Wraith Redeemer, the contact signal is good. Our ship can provide you with support now."

"Received by the ground team, Revenant Redeemer, please mark the specific location of the target for me."

"Received by the Revenant Redeemer, the target location has been confirmed, and I will transmit it for you now. Please go as soon as possible. The interference of the psionic choir ended half an hour ago, and your time is running out. If necessary, please provide my ship with Strike the beacon."

"receive……"

Calvin tapped the communicator next to his ear to end the call.He glanced at the location of the latest beacon, then looked up at the tallest and most ornate tower among the many spiers in the hive city, and confirmed the details of the target.

Then he turned his head and said to the interceptor brothers behind him:

"That's where we're headed, the auditorium on the top floor. Thinking about what we've seen along the way, I think there's a chance we might meet someone there who can give us the details of the whole story."

Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand Calvin's meaning based on the rich combat experience of the Gray Knights.

His words are nothing more than a metaphor that in the highest auditorium, the gray knights will definitely meet the instigator or the ultimate beneficiary of this disaster, and unsurprisingly, there will be a conversation that is not so pleasant for both parties ...

After Calvin finished speaking, Tariq next to him also complained quietly: "If there is such a person, then the only requirement I have for this person is that I hope he still looks like a person..."

The Gray Knights present were all amused by Tarek's words.

Among the various enemies they have encountered during their long service careers, there are bird monsters with multiple heads, and green and pink dwarfs; donkey.

But there is only one thing, a completely rational person is extremely rare.

And if such a person really appears, it will mean big trouble, because rationality can always multiply the results of events on the basis of ability.

Whether doing good or doing evil.

Amidst the rare lively laughter of the crowd, Golden at the back of the team did not forget to make up for it:

"You'd better hope that there won't be such a thing, otherwise, when we go back, we must use the toilet brush to cleanse your crow's mouth well."

Calvin smiled quietly, he enjoyed this rare happiness with his comrades during the difficult mission.

Every scene like this is worthy of his aftertaste and memory in his prosperous years to come.

And the voices and smiles of every comrade-in-arms present will also be deeply left in his mind in the years to come, and he does not want to forget them for a moment.

　I finally found a little feeling, let's do it today.

　　I have written down the reminder from the big brother Fengyu Qingyin who gave the reward, and I owe it first.I'm really sorry, I just moved today to a quiet environment where I can write during the day. From tomorrow onwards, after my schedule is adjusted, all three chapters I signed before will be added, and there will be more chapters before I put them on the shelves. Brothers who gave rewards before, I have written down one by one, this is what I owe, I recognize this account, and will make it up.

　　That's it for today, I can't continue to stay up late. I stayed up late for a month and a half for part-time writing before, and my heart couldn't take it anymore.I hope everyone can understand, if you can't understand, it's okay, this is indeed the author's own problem, and it shouldn't be an annoyance to readers.Anyway, I'm really sorry.

　　Yue Xia bowed and apologized to everyone here.
