Chapter 426 Black and Red, the Plan in the Shadows (XII) Coming
Chapter 426 Black and Red, the Plan in the Shadow (XII) Advent-Part 1
"Will he respond to us?" This is the biggest question in the hearts of Calvin and Tibers.
The camera goes back to five minutes ago. After Tibers sent a communication to the black ship in the name of the Relentless Crusade, Calvin had already arrived at the transfer hall of the battleship and began to wait.
The battleship's energy circuit is ready, and the psychic choir is also doing its best to calm the warp turbulence in front under the guidance of the astropath.
The Primarch closed his eyes and entered the state of psychic vision. With his psychic power that was not enough to describe it, he increased the power of the choir again and looked in the direction of Balelog.
So the Relentless Crusade in the depths of the warp was like a lighthouse that suddenly lit up. While continuously emitting dazzling light forward, it was also searching in the endless darkness and waiting for that faint starlight to appear.
At that time, the Space Wolves had just jumped out of the asteroid belt of Balelog, and the Black Templars and Grand Inquisitor Lisetta were also preparing for the upcoming counterattack.
When the announcement from the Relentless Crusade sounded again on the chaotic black ship, no one except Grey Knight Alvin noticed the same announcement message.
But Alvin noticed it, because although there was no new content in this communication, the wording in it made him feel familiar. The strange wording used in the announcement of the Relentless Crusade made him perceive the hidden information from the regular pronunciation when he habitually read it repeatedly.
It was a set of keys, and this set of keys corresponded to the interceptor tactics generated by the Grey Knights' transition to leapfrog operations in the squad branch.
What did they want to express? What exactly did this secret language point to?
Alvin looked at the crowd in front of him who were waiting in full battle, and he was the quietest one in the chaos.
He recalled all the tactical training he had experienced when he was still a soldier and returned to Titan in the intervals of continuous battles. And the focus of his thinking was on the memory of the interceptor.
All the tactical skills of the interceptors and the combat experience in this position passed through his mind, and after repeated recollection, the only useful equipment in the current environment that he could identify was the interceptors' iconic equipment - the transmission beacon.
Transmission beacon? What do they want to do?
Alvin used psychic power to notify his comrades without making a sound, and a Grey Knight quietly walked into the bridge a few seconds later and handed him a set of two psychic transmission beacons.
Then what? What should he do?
Alvin looked at the equipment in his hand and speculated on Calvin's intentions. But no matter what these comrades who had never met wanted, all he could do now was to execute.
Obscure psychic fluctuations flowed in the two beacons, and after the energy lines on the gauntlet were temporarily connected to the beacons, this psychic transmission became more conspicuous in the subspace.
He wanted to continue observing the beacon to infer the intentions of those comrades, but the appearance of the Queen of Glory of the Space Wolves interrupted all his thoughts.
Whatever it is! As long as it can change this damn situation!
Under the cold and fierce psychic projection of the Hrafinkel, which was like an ancient behemoth, even Alvin, whose soul felt stinging, insisted on transmitting psychic energy in his hand.
Under the influence of this space behemoth that left the reflection of Leman Russ's soul, the psychic beacon in his hand was like a candle that could be extinguished at any time, with a faint light that showed its existence to the distance...
He could see a dazzling light like a new star bursting out from the Hrafinkel, and the thickest ray of that light was pointing to the place in front of him.
Before Alvin could shout out the warning of "Be careful!", the leader of the Space Wolves had already appeared in front of everyone.
There was no dialogue, because there was no misunderstanding of each other's will;
There was no declaration, because there was only deep hatred between the two forces.
The bronze giant, more than 2.8 meters tall, leaped to the center of the crowd the moment he appeared in the storm, and the twelve equally tall wolf guards behind him raised their swords and brought killing to all those who resisted.
The Black Templars in the crowd had no time to react, and the two leading warriors were splashed with blood on the spot under the sudden attack of the bronze giant, becoming the first result of his power axe.
The champion swordsman who followed finally reacted, and fought with the angry Ragnar with the long sword fixed by the chain in his hand, but he was also killed on the spot by the roaring wolf in the next two breaths.
The rest of the Black Templars were also besieged by the wolf guards, so there was a fatal gap in front of the Grand Inquisitor Lisetta, and no one stood between Ragnar and his target.
"Elvin!" Lisetta's psychic power called her comrades.
The Grey Knight Arbiter, who knew that he was no match for her, did not disappoint her, and walked out of the crowd with a halberd in one hand. His four comrades also held swords and blocked the Wolf King's way...
"Is he worthy of our trust?" The same question appeared in different people, but their vision at this time was the same, watching the war in Zhanmoro.
The first voice came from Calvin, and the person he was referring to was the Grey Knight Arbiter who had not returned to Titan for a long time;
The latter voice came from an uninvited guest hiding in the outer reaches of a group of star regions. They first had a brief and not so friendly "alternative" contact with Calvin on an unknown planet in the Storm Star Region decades ago. Later, they followed the guidance of their own prophet and came here from afar, but fell into habitual hesitation just before finding the target.
"He is worthy of our trust." The same answer appeared in the two warships under this starry sky, but behind this same answer was a completely different consideration.
Tibers had returned from the deck of the Astropath, and the psychic choir of the Unremitting Crusade was also reactivated. The energy circuit of the entire warship was tilting its supply share towards the transmission array, while Calvin, standing on the transmission array, was waiting.
Waiting, waiting for the candlelight that should be lit in the darkness.
Waiting, waiting for the signal that could guide him to break through the barriers and cross the distant space.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
Just when Calvin thought that the beacon would not appear, a faint candle flame appeared in the endless darkness, and the psychic fluctuations and position contained in the candle flame pointed to the Balgorro he was expecting!
"Start!" Calvin concentrated his will, relying on the entire Unremitting Crusade, and projected his existence towards the distant Balgorro.
"Start!" The mechanical priest pressed the switch in his hand the moment he received the signal, and the teleportation array, which had been fully charged, amplified the power of the psychic choir and the original body, and then bloomed a brilliant light in the subspace!
Countless creatures in the subspace fled in panic, because the light from the Unremitting Crusade was too hot, and the distant reality and the space of the Supreme Heaven began to deform violently, and then were forcibly twisted and docked under the manipulation of the mysterious power!
Buzz!
The huge roar in the soul level spread silently, and the turbulent subspace turbulence was even more turbulent by the unprecedented transmission of the original body!
At that time, Alvin had already fallen under the battle axe of the Wolf Leader, and his comrades had also died.
Just as the High King from Fenris was about to drink the blood of his enemy with his battle axe, a force that was enough to terrify the Rune Priests on Hrafinkel came behind him with enough power to overturn everyone on the bridge of the Black Ship!
Boom!
After the dazzling light, everyone on the bridge of the Black Ship was knocked down by this force, and the Terminator guards of the Space Wolves were pushed all the way to the wall with the piercing screams of magnetic boots.
Ragnar, who inherited the blood of Russ, reacted first, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the battle axe imprisoned in the air by psychic power, and the indifferent voice from behind:
"She deserves to die, but it shouldn't be you who does it."
Psychic power! It's this damn psychic power again!
Ragnar's already angry brain was stimulated again, and the memory of Prospero left in his gene seed resurfaced.
The furious wolf leader completely lost his mind when he saw countless ancestors fall under the spell of the Red King.
He bit his lips and tongue, and while blood was flowing out of his face, he gave up the battle axe in his hand, then held the remaining battle axe tightly, roared and jumped towards the source of the sound behind him!
The wolf guards obviously saw the scene of Calvin's appearance, and naturally felt the fear from the genetic level for the temporary aura of the Primarch.
However, Rus's blood was so wild that after seeing the counterattack of the wolf leader, their anger also dispelled the fear in their hearts!
They roared and aimed their weapons at the Primarch, and then after tilting the firepower in their hands, they began to charge towards the Primarch desperately!
The sound of rags being torn sounded beside Calvin, that was the sound of the psychic shield bearing the impact of hundreds of storm bolts at the same time!
The furious Ragnar jumped high towards him with the battle axe in his hand, while the Primarch still stood in place, using his palm to imprison the huge energy storm brought by the teleportation.
Yes, the previous storm was the result of Calvin's deliberate suppression. If he didn't want to save everyone on the battleship, the teleportation energy he brought over a long distance would be enough to make the bridge of the battleship dead.
However, he had to distract himself to contain the angry wolf leader, and even to resist the attack of the wolf guards, so he released the imprisoned power to the wolf king in front of him again, and many wolf guards who were approaching were instantly blown away by the energy he smashed on the deck.
"Calm down! Descendant of Rus!" Calvin said in a deep voice while looking at Ragnar who was frozen in the air, and immediately issued a general order to the front line with psychic power.
"In the name of me, Inquisitor Calvin, Supreme Lord of the Imperial Inquisition, and in the name of the Eye of the Empire authorized by the Holy Emperor!
I declare that I will take over all matters here immediately! All administrative and military units of the Empire will be under my jurisdiction immediately, without any exceptions!
I order all the imperial armed forces participating in the war in Balgor to immediately stop all acts of war!"
His voice resounded over the entire Balgor after being amplified by psychic energy, and the astropaths and psychics on both the Inquisition and the Space Wolves' warships were shocked by his psychic fluctuations!
Although that kind of power was not sharp, it was broad enough.
While it caused all the astropaths and navigators on the warships to lose control of their psychic energy, it also made them unconsciously think of the star they had seen on Terra that permanently changed the form of their souls;
This power does not have a complicated structure, nor is it a spell that cleverly uses various rules to play with the soul. Its brilliance is like a peaceful moon, silently waving all the rune priests who "see" it, recalling the myth of the "All-Father" in their genetic memory.
Although the front-line commander Xavierian was already blood-curdling and did not want to stop, with the help of the warships that had lost the astropaths, his command ability to cover the entire battlefield no longer existed.
The Space Wolves who were defending Balelog and engaging in fierce firefights with the Stormtroopers on the black ship also put down their swords in dejection after the enemy stopped attacking or even resisting.
Crack... Crack...
The strange sound of glass breaking came from behind Galvin. The Primarch, who felt the strangeness, turned around suddenly and happened to see the surging blood in Ragnar, the head wolf.
The bronze heavy armor on his body, which had been blessed by Rus himself, was burning silently with its intricate rune carvings and ornaments. Behind the descendant of Rus, there was a giant phantom wearing a wolf head looking at him!
Howl!
The long wolf howl and the giant's roar exploded in Calvin's mind, and the will of Rus left on the armor also collided fiercely with Calvin, the latecomer, after thousands of years!
Bang!
The huge battle axe was chopped off by Ragnar who broke free with both hands, and Calvin frowned to resist and appreciate Rus's will, while raising one hand to grab the battle axe with a thousand pounds of force in the air!
The harsh sound of metal friction came from the original body's hand armor, and dazzling sparks bloomed under the roar of the bronze-decorated power axe.
Calvin, who had digested the will of Rus, raised his head, and the wild and unwilling eyes of the panting wolf leader were staring at his direction.
"You tried your best." Galvin said to Ragnar, looking at his broken gauntlet.
However, the angry wolf leader would not be comforted by such words. He looked at the warship outside the porthole angrily and roared at Hrafinkel:
"Fire at me!"
The order of the wolf leader is everything, especially when the wolf king is not there. Although the wild wolves on Hrafinkel could not understand, they still faithfully carried out the order of the wolf leader.
The huge macro cannon began to extend from under the opened deck, and the towering light spear slowly rotated on the spine of Hrafinkel.
The wolf leader's intention seemed to be successful, and destruction was about to fall on this black ship.
"I said, you tried your best!" Looking at the destructive power that was about to burst out of the huge Queen of Glory, the primarch finally lost his patience.
He threw Ragnar out, and then opened his hands in the direction of Hrafinkel with the huge energy accumulated in his hands.
The destructive storm that Galvan had not yet been able to resolve was finally released at this moment, and with the terrifying psychic power of the Primarch, a scene that he had never imagined appeared in front of everyone under the Balelog starry sky.
A transparent, starlit hand appeared out of thin air in the dark space, and as the Primarch's hand tightened, the giant hand also wrapped the entire Queen of Glory!
Under the terrifying force, the adamantine armor made a sharp and piercing metallic whine because of its deformation. Five huge finger marks like a chasm appeared on the entire 20-kilometer-long hull of the Hrafinkel!
Update.
