Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 104 Divine Punishment
The next morning.

The God Titan is hidden in the mountains. Qin Xia, Brown, and Olina, three members of the special operations team, stand on the top of the mountain, overlooking a small fortress city outside the mountains.

"Fortress of Clius."

“The original location of the company’s medical department is now a place dedicated to the production of anesthetics.”

"Occupied by the Cleous family."

Brown reviewed the information collected by the Rebel scouts about Fort Clius.

Eventually, the flickering light and floating words in his eyes dissipated, and something similar to a human eyeball reappeared.

"The Clius family knew that the Devourers would not kill the untouchables or slaves, so they captured people everywhere and locked them up in a giant dungeon, preparing to use the untouchables and slaves as human shields and bargaining chips when they were attacked by the Devourers."

"Ms. Kleist, the commander of the Fourth Expeditionary Army, has requested that we resolve the situation in Fort Clius without violent means."

After Brown finished speaking, he looked at Qin Xia, waiting for him to make a decision.

Qin Xia looked at Oulina and the others: "How is the repair progress of the orbital defense platform?"

Olena responded in unison: "Based on the partial blueprint of the ancient defense platform provided by Mr. Brown, we were able to restore 60% of the defense platform's functions, but this will take time. It can't be done by just copying the blueprint."

"I know it will take time. What I want to ask is, which function of the defense platform can be used now?" Qin Xia said.

Olina responded again: "The engineering ray can be used. It is part of the civilian functions integrated into the defense platform. It is used to change the mountainous terrain on the planet through blasting."

Hearing this, Qin Xia thought about it for a moment and came up with an idea and a plan.

Brown could guess what Qin Xia was thinking: "I have designed some intelligent machines to operate the orbital defense platform. If you are willing, the defense platform can come to Nuxing orbit now."

"Let it come." Qin Xia nodded.

After giving the order, Qin Xia did not stand here waiting, but walked straight towards Cliusburg.

While waiting for the defense platform to arrive, there is one more thing to do.

……

Tens of thousands of people were imprisoned in the vast dungeons beneath Cliusburg.

The nobles' guards were patrolling everywhere, with hundreds of them stationed directly behind the heavy machine guns set up in the four corners of the dungeon, pointing their guns at the tens of thousands of people in front of them.

More guards remained in the several passages outside the dungeon.

The entire dungeon was incredibly spacious and incredibly high, with a total height of thirty meters from the ground to the ceiling. There was an automatic machine gun installed every two meters on the walls around it from the floor to the ceiling.

The officer moved among the crowd with an electric baton, shouting and beating anyone he caught sight of.

There was no need for this behavior. The officer just wanted to vent his dissatisfaction with being in the dungeon for more than two months.

It was not until a snowflake fell from the sky that the officer's attention was attracted by it and he stopped amid the wailing and groaning of the person being beaten.

More snowflakes fell.

The officer raised his head and looked upward.

Four people appeared at a height of thirty meters at some point. They were not floating in the air, but were walking down slowly as if they were walking up stairs.

Every time they took a step in the air, a staircase made of what looked like white energy would appear under their feet.

They walked down slowly.

When the officer stared at Qin Xia, Qin Xia also stared at the officer.

The next second, the officer exploded into a bloody mist. The slaves and untouchables around him were splattered with blood and screamed in panic, fleeing in all directions.

Layers of code appeared on Brown's eyeballs. The automatic machine guns in the dungeon were hacked and controlled, shooting and killing the soldiers who tried to operate the heavy machine guns to shoot the hostages.

Sister Orina did nothing but followed Qin Xia.

As Qin Xia slowly walked down the psychic steps, his eyes were not fixed on an enemy he wanted to kill.

One soldier after another was blown into a bloody mist, sometimes several soldiers were blown up at the same time.

It was as if something had embedded itself into the bodies of these soldiers, then instantly expanded and exploded.

Until Qin Xia reached the ground, and his last step was not on the steps formed by psychic energy but on the hard ground, all the guards in the dungeon were dead and their bodies were nowhere to be found.

People held their breath and stared at these uninvited guests in horror.

They were horrified by the strange deaths of the guards, and the Nucerias were already afraid of wizards...

The Orina sisters looked at the horrified expressions on everyone's faces and the horrific deaths of the guards. They recalled that the deaths of these guards were not actually that unacceptable.

At least they were not like the previous high knights and nobles, who were exterminated by Qin Xia with his fists and other brutal methods that were extremely visually impactful.

Then, in the eyes of the two sisters, Qin Xia's coldness and fierceness on his face disappeared as always, and was replaced by concern.

The Orinas looked at each other with complicated expressions.

They originally thought that Qin Xia's care and gentleness towards the weak was a false disguise, such as a disguise made to gain support and win over others... At least that's what they thought when they used psychic vision to observe Qin Xia on Nu.

But after getting along for so long, the Orina sisters are only surprised that Qin Xia can switch seamlessly between the warm spring breeze and the biting cold wind. Whether he is the spring breeze or the cold wind depends on who he is facing.

Qin Xia walked up to a man whose shoulder was broken by an electric baton, stretched out his hand and tried to heal him, but the disabled man and everyone around him took a few steps back in fear.

"I want to heal you." Qin Xia took a step back and explained patiently, "Why are you afraid of us? We are the City Devourers."

After hearing the name "City Devourer", everyone present gradually calmed down.

The injured man approached Qin Xia: "Are you City Devourers? When we were captured here a few months ago, we heard that you had reached Mach City... I'm sorry, we didn't expect you to progress so fast." Qin Xia used his psychic power to restore the other person's broken bones, then looked at the others: "I need you to cooperate with me, all of you..."

"Everyone."

"Line up."

The Orina sisters stood hand in hand, their eyes covered in black and their silver hair floating.

Then, tens of thousands of people present stood up at the same time, gathered together, and formed a tight square.

"Amazing persuasiveness." Qin Xia nodded and raised his hand to shape a psychic portal.

After a piece of ice and snow appeared out of nowhere in the stuffy dungeon, Sister Orina ordered everyone in front of them to walk into the portal.

People appeared at the feet of the God Titan.

Sister Olena releases the mind control over people.

"The defense platform has reached orbit," Brown said.

"Attack this fortress." Qin Xia raised his hand and pointed to Fort Clius which was vaguely visible in the distance ahead.

Brown transmitted commands to the specially designed omnics on the defense platform.

In a control room in an inconspicuous corner of the huge defense platform, the intelligent machine pressed the switch.

A tiny red beam of light descended from the sky and landed in the fortress like a drop of rain.

Qin Xia waited for a second but saw no reaction from the fortress. He turned around and asked Brown: "Is it time to go out..."

Before he could finish his question, a dazzling red flash rose up at the point where the tiny beam of light landed.

Its brilliance even overshadowed the sun for a short period of time, dyeing everything in everyone's sight red.

There was a flash of light, and then a roar that could not be described in words reached the God Titan who was far away from the fortress.

Qin Xia had already erected a barrier, but the sound of the barrier penetrating still made everyone present feel as if something was hitting their internal organs.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to witness on the spot what kind of damage the so-called engineering beam has caused.

Because the smoke and dust that covered the sky and seemed to be like a huge wall climbing up to the track was carried away by the shock wave and spread from the explosion point to all directions.

Qin Xia's barrier blocked the shock wave, but the shock wave and smoke swept away everything except the mountain in the mountainous area outside the barrier. The giant trees and weeds that had grown for thousands of years, wild beasts, and all kinds of amazing plants disappeared in the mountains.

And a few days later, there will surely be herdsmen in the desert who will look at the giant green tree standing upside down in the red sand and fall into deep thought.

"This is divine punishment!"

Someone growled.

People were not frightened by the explosion. They jumped and cheered, watching the place where they had been imprisoned and the slave owners inside being engulfed by flashes of light and smoke.

Although the situation in the smoke and dust could not be seen yet, even a fool could guess that the fortress, which was the center of the explosion, would not even leave any dust.

"Let's see what kind of damage this ancient thing has done."

Qin Xia suddenly became curious and raised his hand.

Surrounded by the crowd, the God Titan was controlled by psychic power and raised his arm holding the giant spear.

Qin Xia raised his hand, clenched it loosely, and then "stabbed" forward.

The body of the God Titan still stood still, with only the arm holding the spear thrusting forward.

Because of the spiritual energy attached to the spear, because of the spear's own inertia and its built-in impact device, and because Qin Xia intended to use the spear to release the impact...

For various reasons, the seemingly ordinary shot fired by the God Titan that hit the air created an impact that created a clear cylindrical "passage" in the smoke and dust ahead.

The smoke and dust in one direction was dispersed, and the destruction hidden in the smoke and dust was also revealed in front of Qin Xia.

The fortress is definitely gone.

The plain that was originally surrounded by hills also disappeared, making Qin Xia feel as if he had just been teleported to another place.

In its place was a flat, smooth, huge deep pit.

The crater is clearly visible even outside the orbit of Nu.

An entire terrain was permanently changed, or rather erased; the plain, the fortress on the plain, everything, seemed as if they had never existed.

"The engineering beam was not originally used for destruction. It is a function of the engineering loading part of the orbital platform. If the orbital platform is intact, we can fill it up and make it flatter than a plain."

Brown said.

Qin Xia looked at Brown.

“But I suggest not to fill it, even if the engineering loading parts are repaired later.”

The chatterbox stone man shrugged and spread his hands.

“Because we don’t have professional star sculptors trained in planet carving.”

"If you insist on filling the holes, it will probably end up being ugly and full of potholes."

"Or maybe they can't control the force, and fill the pit into a mountain range, causing Nuxing's climate to change dramatically due to the change in terrain."

Qin Xia withdrew his gaze, turned around and opened the portal to Mach City, signaling others to go through the portal to a safer place.
