Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 132: Subspace Navigation

"No... they are not..."

"They... I set these damned people free a long time ago, but they just won't leave me."

"I know your likes and dislikes, Your Highness, and I have no intention of offending you."

The Navigator argued tremblingly.

Angron discovered that the female mutant was telling the truth.

The emotions of those slaves were the same as those of the slaves before Nuceria, following their masters with awe and fear.

But these slaves wanted to be slaves from the bottom of their hearts and did not have the slightest desire to resist.

Even... these slaves felt that because they were the navigator's slaves, they were superior to most people on this ship.

"We are not slaves, we are free people." A guard wanted to kneel down, but thought of something and finally bowed instead. "Our free will makes us want to serve Lady Nissa Andrasta!"

The other slaves all said in unison: "We want to serve our masters, even after Captain Kiel said we are all free."

"..." Angron was speechless, his expression showing that he was greatly shocked.

Qin Xia was not surprised.

These navigators' slaves are well-dressed and well-fed. They do not oppose their masters, and they will only become anxious if someone forces them to oppose their masters.

Whether it was because they had received too many benefits, or because Nisha Andrasta was a good master, or because these slaves had received slave education since childhood... anyway, they did not want to become free men.

Qin Xia opened his mouth and asked about more important things: "When the Primarch gave the order to prepare for sailing, you immediately went to your post. How did you know where the Primarch wanted to go? How did you know where you should navigate?"

"Because the Emperor has assigned a mission to the Primarch." Nissa said as she stretched out her slender arms in black lace gloves. A slave handed the document to her with both hands, and she handed it to Angron.

Angron read the words on the document.

There was only one line of words on it, but when he entered the Primarch's field of vision, it had the effect of a mental shock.

In just two seconds, only one thing echoed in the Primarch's mind.

That is, the scattered warriors of the 12th Legion are gathering, and during the gathering, Angron needs to go and do something.

This task is to help the Primarch brother named Perturabo to finish the war in the Nofsendak system.

"He told us to help Perturabo fight." Angron crumpled up the paper.

Qin Xia raised his eyebrows.

Until the XII Legion is fully assembled, have Angron work with Perturabo.

Angron is able to sense the emotions of others and absorb their negative emotions.

Go and cooperate with Perturabo, a super twisted freak with a dark mentality and ruthless actions.

Did Perturabo need help in a battle that was not difficult? Obviously not, so the Emperor's intention was obvious, which was to let Angron give Perturabo some psychological counseling, or to let the two get to know each other.

Qin Xia thought to himself...the emperor's calculations were clacking loudly.

“How come his orders came directly to you? Do I have to obey your orders from now on?” Angron asked.

"Ah... no, Your Highness..." Nisha was panicked and didn't know how to answer.

This was the Emperor's decision. Before he left, he gave the order directly to Nissa. Nissa herself didn't understand the reason, let alone answer Angron at this time.

Qin Xia thought about it and thought that it might be because the navigator Nisha Andrasta was absolutely loyal to the Emperor.

He had an impression of this navigator.

Nissa Andrasta, the navigator of the Conqueror (formerly the Steadfast Resolve), refused to follow Angron in the rebellion during the Horus Heresy. In order to prevent the Conqueror from sailing in the Warp, she chose to commit suicide by swallowing a gun.

"Go and do your thing." Qin Xia made way.

Nisha didn't dare to look the two people in the eye. She lowered her head, shrank her body, saluted eagerly, and then slipped through the gap.

Her slaves followed.

"She is absolutely loyal to the emperor." Qin Xia said.

"She's also a noble." Angron turned his head and glanced at Nissa's back as she trotted with her skirt in hand. "She also owns slaves!"

Qin Xia nodded.

Angron considered not carrying out the Emperor's orders at all, and leading his fleet directly on the Great Crusade, gathering up any Sons who were fighting for other Legions along the way.

But Angron thought again of Perturabo, a man who once existed only in the words of his adoptive father.

Another Primarch.

Another Primarch who is much larger than the average human and would be considered a freak, brother.

"Perturabo is good at siege and defense, and he is also a master of construction." Angron said what Qin Xia once said about Perturabo. "I should meet this brother. Maybe I can learn a few tricks from him."

"You should learn to make your own decisions now," Qin Xia said.

Angron nodded, and without calling Nisha to change the target point, he and Qin Xia walked towards the place in the battleship where the void shield found on Nu Saturn was placed.

……

The fleet gradually arrived at the edge of the galaxy, which was the location of Mandeville Point calculated by the experienced naval personnel in the fleet.

The so-called Mandeville point is the location where the fleet enters the subspace from the real universe before sailing in the subspace. It is far away from the gravity of the celestial body, so as to avoid the subspace rift being affected by the gravity of the celestial body and causing unpredictable consequences.

Then the flagship's warp engine started to operate, and a dark purple crack gradually opened in the dark stars, eventually expanding enough to allow the entire fleet to enter.

The surging warp energy poured into the real universe through the rift. If there were psychics in the entire Nuceria galaxy who were using psychic power, they would find that their power had become stronger.

But this situation only lasted a short time. When all the warships entered the rift and dived deep into the subspace, the rift quickly closed.

Countless hostile creatures of the Warp were drawn to these intruders, and approached the ship, but were kept away by an unseen force.

That's a Geller field, a device used to shield against creatures from the Warp.

Its effectiveness is between the possibility of a warp creature breaking through, but the impossibility of a warp creature breaking through, and it is not 100% safe. If it weren't for that thing, the ship would be full of ghosts and the like.

Yet within the fleet, there is another layer that protects those within.

The area surrounding the Resolute Resolve was surrounded by a dark purple vortex, and the two warships sailing on the left and right of the flagship were also caught in the vortex.

Some Warp creatures were swept into the vortex and consumed like fuel. The vortex then released energy at regular intervals. The energy waves destroyed or expelled the Warp creatures within the range. "This damn thing can be used as a Geller force field."

"Evil door."

"It can teleport people from planets to satellites, intercept attacks in a targeted manner, and has an effect similar to the Geller force field... It really opened my eyes."

Qin Xia stood in front of the ancient void shield seized from Nu Saturn II, observing its operation with Angron.

This thing perfectly conforms to the laws of this universe - the older it is, the stronger it is.

Brown didn't know where this void shield came from, nor did he know where it was originally placed. He could only monitor the operating data of the void shield and cut off the energy supply if the data fluctuated too much.

"I've always heard that warp travel is prone to accidents, but I don't have to worry about it this time." Angron attached more importance to the effect of this void shield.

The fact that it could be used even during the subspace navigation phase undoubtedly gave everyone a surprise.

But Qin Xia wanted to explore the principle more, so he began to observe the operation of the Void Shield more carefully.

In the psychic vision, this thing is still a vortex. Under the cover of the vortex, neither the warships nor the personnel are visible.

"It's just that the range of effect is a bit small. At most it can cover the flagship and the two surrounding cruisers." Qin Xia said.

In the psychic vision, other warships in the fleet outside the vortex are still visible.

"Not bad. Besides, nothing happened to the other warships that were not in the range." Angron was very satisfied.

There is no one else here, otherwise people would be very nervous after hearing what the Primarch said.

There is an unwritten rule on the warship, which is that you cannot talk about accidents or say homophonic words related to accidents.

Qin Xia didn't care.

After all, Angron is not Corax, and has nothing to do with crows, so saying something unlucky cannot be considered a crow's mouth.

"The Hound's Fang is under attack!"

Qin Xia suddenly heard these words and turned to look around. Angron had a blank expression on his face, obviously he didn't hear them.

"The Hound's Fang... was... attacked..."

Before the intermittent sound sounded again, Qin Xia had already determined that this was psychic communication.

"The Hound's Fang is under attack!" Qin Xia reminded Angron loudly, turning around and observing the outside with his psychic vision.

The fleet was sailing amidst lightning and dark clouds.

The dark clouds gathered into a sharp claw and entangled the hound's tooth.

But it was obvious that the Hound's Tooth was not attacked by dark clouds, but by bombardment from other warships.

A ship sailed in the dark clouds and fired continuously at the Hound's Tooth at the rear of the fleet.

As a bolt of lightning exploded with a roar, the outline of the ship was clearly visible in the lightning.

A ship with sails and a streamlined shape, obviously an alien creation.

"Elves?" Qin Xia recognized at a glance which race the ship belonged to.

boom--

A series of roars sounded as Qin Xia was watching, and the Eldar ship opened fire on the Hound's Fang from the starboard side.

The void shield of the Hound's Fang had lost its effect. Two energy beams hit the hull, one of which hit the bow ram, and the other penetrated the weak point of the warship and created a twelve-meter-wide hole.

"Stop the navigator and the fleet will strike back!" Angron shouted to Kiel on the flagship over the communication channel.

"Your Highness!" The navigator's voice reached Angron's ears, "I see a storm about to cover the entire fleet. We must leave before the storm arrives!"

Angron was speechless.

The warp storm is coming, and if it really comes, the entire fleet will most likely be destroyed in the storm.

The void shield on the flagship couldn't stop anything.

The once glorious human civilization was interrupted by a subspace storm that affected the entire galaxy.

"We can't stop the fleet!"

Qin Xia reminded Angron, and at the same time, he thought about it and teleported a set of Terminator tactical dreadnought armor into the cabin. Those parts were instantly teleported to him without any assistance.

"Keep sailing, I'm going to the Hound's Tooth."

The Terminator's armor helmet was closed, and Qin Xia's voice became deep and rich in the second half of his sentence.

"Use this thing, and I'll come with you." Angron pointed to the void shield.

This ancient void shield has teleportation capabilities.

"No, if anything happens to the flagship you have to solve it immediately. I can go to the Hound's Fang by myself." After Qin Xia said this, he disappeared into the cabin, leaving only a piece of ice and snow.

"The fleet is about to end its FTL voyage." Angron heard the voice of the flagship commander Lothalazarin from the communication channel, "We must leave here before the storm arrives. The Imperial Truth will defend our sanity in the chaos. We will definitely reach our destination with the least possible loss!"

"Does Warp travel always occur like this?" Angron asked.

"It is true that trouble can easily occur when traveling at superluminal speeds. It doesn't always happen, but it is likely to happen." Salin replied, "Your Highness, the Hound's Fang should be able to complete the voyage normally. I suggest that you prepare for battle at the jump point and resist hostile warships."

“Of course. Let’s do it.” Angron nodded.

The fleets jumped out of the warp one after another.

When the Resolute Resolve appeared at Mandeville Point, which had jumped out of the star system, Angron saw a large number of tough-looking warships through the porthole.

Those warships had no portholes and seemed to have no weaknesses.

The warships lined up in a row and sailed behind the HMS Resolute.

"That's the battleship of the Fourth Legion Iron Warriors!" Salin shouted happily in the communication, "We have successfully arrived at our destination!"

Angron had spotted the ship of his legendary brother named Perturabo, but he glanced only once, peering back out the rear porthole.

Some warships have already jumped out of the warp, but the Hound's Fang is nowhere to be seen.
