Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 114: War Dog Filial Son
Are the Space Marines necessarily 100% welcoming and loyal to their Primarch?

The answer is no.

Some legions were not particularly welcoming of their Primarchs.

But Qin Xia knew that the Dogs of War belonged to the legions that welcomed and obeyed their Primarch.

If Angron had not been as rational as he was now, but had been nailed, the dogs of war would still be the same.

They were excited to meet their Primarch after learning the news about him.

Legion Master Kiel would be the first to find the Primarch, and then he would be torn to pieces by him, rather than having a gentle meeting like now.

But the Dogs of War would not give up, and their senior officers went in order of seniority to find the Primarch who had been struck by the Butcher's Nails, and tried to talk to him, but were torn to pieces by the angry Angron during the conversation.

Because of this, the death rate of officers in the War Dog Corps increased dramatically.

Until an officer named Kharn found Angron, Kharn was the first war dog that was not killed by Angron.

Even though the Gene-Father has become a madman, the War Dogs still hope to gain his recognition. To this end, they would even imitate the Butcher's Nails to create the same implants, and then have themselves nailed with the nails to experience the same anger as Angron.

Now that Angron is back to normal, these filial sons can be said to be running towards the Primarch in both directions.

“Your legion is called the Dogs of War,” Angron said.

"Your legion is called the Dogs of War." Kiel nodded.

"I don't like this name." Angron stroked his chin, looked at Qin Xia, and said, "Your name always reminds me of a high knight who would put butcher's nails on people and use them as combat slaves. He called his combat slaves war hounds, so you have to change your name."

When Kiel heard that the honorable name of War Dog was to be replaced, he said nothing.

Angron is the Lord of the Legion, so there is nothing wrong with replacing the dogs of war with wild dogs of war and fat pigs of war.

"I can't think of a good name." Angron asked Qin Xia for help, "The name Dog of War must be changed anyway."

"Let me think about it." Qin Xia pretended to be in deep thought.

All the Space Marines looked at Qin Xia, they were puzzled about this man's identity.

Could it be that Space Marines from other legions had come to Nuceria before and helped the Father of Genes?

"The Rebels have a name that scares people among the slave owners: City Devourers," Qin Xia said. "And the Space Marines need to attack worlds one after another, fighting an interstellar war, so I think we should call them World Devourers."

This idea has already existed.

Qin Xia initially considered what to name Angron's legion, but the name World Eaters sounded a bit scary.

The City Eater is the predecessor of the name World Eater, a name that slave owners tremble in fear of.

During the uprising, the rebels not only had to deal with the slave owners, but also some evil people who wanted to take advantage of the situation. Considering that the rebels were more lenient than intimidating, Qin Xia simply decided to let the rebels use the name "City Devourers".

Now it is natural for Angron's legion to use the name World Eaters.

"The World Eater." Angron thought about it and said, "That's good. Let's change the name."

"World Eaters! This is the new name of our legion from the last second!" Kiel said loudly.

"World Eaters!" the Space Marines shouted in unison.

Angron looked at the legionnaires with satisfaction.

Before he came, he thought that these people were a group of arrogant super-modified humans and it would be difficult to make them obey.

But now he knew that these people cared about him, longed for his approval, and were full of discipline and obedience.

This pleased Angron greatly.

"World Eaters. Since that man said you are my descendants, then I will treat you as my descendants."

"I'm sure you'll make me proud."...

"I can't believe my descendants are actually a bunch of butchers."

After the meeting on the tarmac, Angron toured the Legion of Resolve's flagship.

After arriving at the archives, he asked the legion soldiers to conduct normal training, and then he and Qin Xia entered the archives to read the legion's past information.

Qin Xia sat on a chair, and Angron stood not far away holding a roll of information.

The information is about the Cerberus incident.

In the early days of the human empire's great expedition to conquer the star sea, a rebellion broke out on a Terran island called Cerberus, and the dogs of war were sent to quell the rebellion.

The dogs of war killed everyone there.

And in the various materials that Angron had just checked, there were records of killings by the dogs of war.

Their killing was different from the rebels' venting of anger against the slave owners. It was unnecessary and pure killing.

There are only two results after the War Dogs Legion is deployed. The first result is glorious slaughter, and the second result is pure slaughter.

"How do you view your legion now?" Qin Xia did not comment, and suddenly asked, "Will you abandon them?"

Angron put down the bloody pages in his hand, walked over to Qin Xia and sat down. He was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Of course I won't abandon them."

Qin Xia nodded silently without expressing his opinion.

Angron looked up at the ceiling of the archives.

The huge dog-shaped pattern of the War Dog Legion had been covered by a white background left for carving at some point.

After retracting his gaze, the Primarch continued, "I don't think I have the right to blame or reprimand them, because sometimes the negative emotions I perceive from others will turn into anger, hatred, and pain in my heart... These will turn into the urge to kill them as soon as possible, just like a powerless person who suddenly has the power to take revenge."

"To be honest, when I saw the information about the legion that carried out the killings during the suppression operations, I first thought that this legion was simply unreasonable and as cruel as the slave owner's guards."

"But after reading more information, I found that they are different from the Guards. Ninety percent of their lives are spent fighting, fighting to death, for the cause of the man called the Emperor."

"The 12th Legion did have many sins, but they were not like the Guards, who had nothing to show for it except the brutal slaughter of civilians. At least they fought on the front lines of the Great Crusade, accelerating the recovery of planets that were worse than Nuceria."

"They value discipline and they pursue glory, just like those of us who have fought in the arena, so I think they can at least be saved."

After hearing these words, Qin Xia's concerns that Angron had abandoned the legion disappeared.

"I think so too." Qin Xia nodded in agreement.

Angron smiled, then closed his eyes and suddenly frowned.

Qin Xia had told Angron a little about the Great Crusade, the Emperor, and the Primarch.

The Legion was mentioned, but only in relation to gene-seed.

So at this moment Angron couldn't help but think of the connection between the Legion and his own gene seed, and he began to wonder: "Is it possible that this Legion is so cruel because they used my gene seed? Is it possible that I made them become like that?"

"Maybe there is some connection. After all, when a lot of negative emotions accumulate to the extreme, one just wants to kill someone. When a man gets angry, blood splatters five steps away. There is some connection."

Qin Xia helped Angron think.

"But I think that the Primarch does not necessarily have a similar personality to his own Legion. For example, the offspring of your kind and gentle brother may have outrageous and brutal characteristics. You will meet him later."

"Not to mention that the first batch of soldiers of the 12th Legion were originally transformed from serious criminals on Terra. Can you expect a group of serious criminals to do anything benevolent after they become superhuman soldiers?"

Angron was relieved. "I thought everyone who used my gene-seed would be cruel and bloodthirsty."
