Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 438 Black and Red, the Plan in the Shadows (Twenty-Three) Here

Lucapalia, the capital of the planetary world of Moro, is an ancient city destroyed by the Moon Wolf Legion at the end of the 32nd millennium.

Galvin, with the main force of the Tindalos Legion and the Sea Wolf Company that had been following the Inquisition Fleet, has arrived here for more than a week.

A week is very short, not even enough to make the simplest transformation of this ruin.

But fortunately, the soldiers of the Tindalos Legion are veterans selected from various battlefields.

Those who have survived all kinds of fierce battles have experienced all kinds of poverty, so they naturally know where to use limited engineering vehicles and more precious building materials.

The site selection of the defensive position was selected on the track, and with the full support of the fleet scanning array, the engineering troops were very purposeful and the progress was very smooth.

A large number of bunkers were selected based on the local terrain, and then quickly built under the focused assault of the legion soldiers and engineering vehicles;

The trenches connecting these bunkers were first dug shallowly by the soldiers, and then handed over to the armored troops to deepen and reinforce them again.

This is the benefit of having an industrial manufacturing system like the Krieg Alliance.

What the Tindalos Legion lacked the least was small engineering equipment. Even before the fleet returned to Terra, Krieg's engineers had already sent enough engineering shovels to the warship warehouse, even though they could not carry a large number of engineering vehicles.

The armored forces also welcomed this equipment very much, because it was made of fine gold after molecular casting, quenching and coating, which was an extremely thick and solid additional armor.

So when the soldiers of the infantry regiment were still exploring and planning the defense line of Lucapalia, the soldiers of the armored corps were waiting for the arrival of the transport fleet.

The technical priests accompanying the army were assembled on the landing site and on standby. When these engineering shovels were sent to the surface, a large number of welding projects took less than half a day in total.

So more temporary engineering vehicles appeared on the ruins, and trenches and fortifications of all sizes were formed one by one.

Although this line of defense cannot be compared with the permanent defense system, a simple but quite practical defense line slowly took shape in the next few days.

The knights of Heper's Forge World arrived later, and the landing ships directly dropped these knight titans above the defense line. When more than a thousand Astartes of the Sea Wolf Company also landed with supplies, the entire Lucapalia defense line was finally formed.

+How many people have not returned? +

Galvin walked on the top main road of the Relentless Crusade, and the communicator in his ear was meeting with the leaders of the fleet and troops, and the psychic channel was talking with the newly joined Chief Purifier, Turab.

Turab, together with all the purifiers, received Calvin's psychic seed implantation procedure in the medical department of the Relentless Crusade not long ago.

He personally survived the initial psychic shock period in less than three days, and then began to take over the management of the Legion in Zhan Moro.

This speed of adaptation obviously exceeded Calvin and himself's expectations, because even the initial Honor Guard took a whole year to adapt under Calvin's personal guidance.

The two had also conducted a special review of this, and the final conclusion was that this rapid adaptability was related to the true name that Turab was granted on Titan.

The granting of the true name was undoubtedly a subversive change for him, and it could even be said that it directly changed his life form. After obtaining the true name, the Purifier can be said to no longer belong to mortals to a certain extent, but a higher-level life existence.

The strength of will and power, the difficulty of driving psychic power and command.

The most important thing is that after obtaining and understanding the language of "true name", Turab's ability to absorb the huge amount of information in psychic power and the new interpretation of the scale of observation of life on time.

From this perspective, the psychic seed given to him by the original body is no longer a strange power without a clue, but an iterative upgrade based on the original code of "true name".

Similar to the "Sons of Calvin" using the "inscriptions" on their own genes to compare and decode, he can use the true name in his own soul to interpret the "inscriptions".

Of course, this is based on Calvin's opening of core information to him.

It is precisely this kind of comprehensive information that makes Turabe the first outsider who can intuitively understand the "secret of inscriptions". The intuitive "vision" he has is a convenience that the Honor Guards have never had.

Moreover, the changes are more than that.

The consequence of fully understanding and joining the "Legion Inscription System" is that in the third hundred years after Turabe became a Grey Knight, his already formed body began to show signs of second growth and development under the instinctive drive of imitating other Sons of Calvin.

And his "demon-breaking" specialization attribute also began to appear in the soldiers of the entire legion in the opposite direction. This influence not only appeared in the Grey Knight Company near Zhan Moro, but even the "Sons of Calvin" far away in other directions were also experiencing the same changes.

At this time, the Grey Knight Legion was like a lake with ice cubes thrown into it. Turabe, the "ice cube", was not only immersed in the lake in the turbulent ripples, but also had a subtle influence on the entire legion.

But this kind of thing does not take effect in one day, so neither Calvin nor Turabe himself discovered these details.

Both of them were focused on the current war, and after the Chief Purifier had adapted to the psychic seeds, he went straight into the work of dispatching the legion.

As for the remaining purifiers, they are much more normal. They have no direct means of observing the essence of the "inscription". They can only rely on their own mortal souls to explore and summarize the adaptation of the psychic seeds.

The speed of collecting and understanding this kind of information is far from comparable to that of the sons of Calvin, let alone that of Turab, who has a real name.

Calvin has checked the progress of their exploration and adaptation. Without the guidance of the original master himself, the most optimistic estimate is that it will take a full hundred years...

+Four teams, according to your order, they are responsible for the anti-infiltration operations of various galaxies in the rear after the next stage of the war begins. Five of the remaining sixteen teams were injured, but there were no losses in the battle. They are on their way back and will arrive tomorrow at the latest. +

Chief Purifier Turab stopped on the other side of the battleship and responded to Calvin in the legion's communication channel.

+Received, where is the Honor Guard? Is there no news from Heper yet? +

Calvin narrowed his eyes, and in his heart he had made the worst prediction about the situation on the Forge World. If the other party still maintained this attitude under the order of the Inquisition, he felt that he had to visit it in person.

"There is news, wait a moment..." Turab said, sending the psychic information group he received to the Primarch, and Calvin on the other side of the battle saw a picture that he had never expected in the next moment...
