Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 174 Future
For the 8th Assault Company and other legion soldiers attacking Kiaval, the battle here was not as easy as the previous attack on the hive city.

But the difficulty is determined by comparison, so if there is no comparison, then this battle will be as easy as the previous attack on the hive world.

Kahn led ten elite fighters from his company and ran through the alley.

Although the remaining 990 people in the company were not present, Kahn was still able to judge the positions of other people in the company and the difficulty of the battle they were facing from the markings of the friendly forces' positions on the tactical eyepiece, the battle conditions he observed and his rich experience.

"Battle brothers, Gene Father and his brothers are standing on the top of the factory outside the city, observing our Eighth Company."

"Prove it to them!"

"Prove that the Eighth Assault Company didn't get the Slavery Crushing Ribbon because of the Eighteenth Assault Company!"

Kahn's command sounded in the communication channel.

The command was followed by screams and the sound of a chainsaw axe chopping a human body in half.

A mercenary was hiding in the shadows of the alley. When Kahn passed by, he suddenly jumped out and prepared for a sneak attack, but Kahn subconsciously chopped him in half with a chainsaw axe.

Amid the splattering blood, the ribbon around Kahn's waist swayed in the blood drops with the wearer's slight movements.

A single drop of blood spattered the symbol carved into the ribbon - the symbol of sharp teeth crushing chains.

"The First Company will be better equipped to fight here than we are. Use the Dreadnoughts and heavy artillery to plow through the ground and clean up the place."

The flag officer's voice rang out over the officers' communication channel.

"So they were sent to capture the fortress in this world," Kahn responded.

"The Primarch doesn't like the First Company, nor does he like the 50,000 men that comprise it." The Banner-Bearer added, "They fought alongside the First Legion for so long, and when they returned they found that the Legion had changed."

"They think of themselves as weapons and tools more than we do." Kahn raised his pistol and shot a mercenary who was about to self-destruct and die with him. "The Father of Genes probably doesn't mean to make things difficult for them, but they are really good at pure offense."

As he spoke, Kahn led the elite soldiers through the alley, shooting every enemy, aiming at the giant residential building two hundred meters high in front.

Those loyal to the guild hid in the residential buildings, using these tall and sturdy buildings as fortresses.

An experienced soldier transmitted the image of the residential building to Kahn and said that he suspected that the residential building was a place similar to a command center.

And experience told Kahn that the warrior's judgment was correct.

In the lobby on the first floor of the residential building, security personnel hired by the guild set up positions facing the only exit of the building. Various heavy weapons were piled behind the simple fortifications. As soon as the enemy appeared, they would be shot to death with torrential firepower.

But then, at the back of the hall, a hole was cut in the thick wall that the locals thought was impossible to break through by some explosive, and a smoke bomb was thrown into the hall through the hole.

Kahn threw a grenade at the group of people.

After the explosion, flames swept across the entire hall.

In the flames, Kahn turned to look at the elite warriors following him, and gave orders in silence with a series of tactical gestures.

The elite warriors began to clean every room connected to the hall.

Toilet, utility room, dining room.

Until every room was cleared, the elite warriors who had been away for thirty seconds returned to Kahn.

Kahn led the men to the second floor.

Other soldiers in the company who were operating in the surrounding areas immediately entered the residential building and blocked every entrance and exit.

"There are not only mercenaries here, but also security guards."

"It seems that this is indeed a place similar to the headquarters."

"Our enemies reacted quickly. They started mobilizing manpower for defense as soon as we teleported outside the city."

"Objection! I think it's more likely that they started mobilizing when our fleet entered the system. Otherwise, the strength they showed is totally inconsistent with their mobilization response speed."

"..."

The elite soldiers of the Eighth Company quickly shared what they had seen and their opinions.

The opinions of these veterans have always been important. Kahn remembered his brothers' opinions and continued to lead the way.

There are no enemies in the corridor on the second floor of the residential building.

Kahn made several gestures as he advanced with his gun raised.

The elite warriors immediately left Kahn.

The only person left in the corridor was Kahn, the captain of the 8th Assault Company.

Kahn deliberately made a lot of noise when walking.

The noise was like bait, and some of the residential doors connected to the corridor on the second floor were pushed open by the people living there.

Some of them are simply brave and just want to take a look.

Some are not.

As he walked, Kahn waved his hand to signal the curious people to go back into the room.

Some people closed the door immediately.

Some people looked at Kahn meaningfully before closing the door.

Those meaningful looks might seem meaningless to others, but Kahn, who had experienced many battles, could understand them.

But Kahn didn't care at all and just walked down the corridor to the stairs leading to the second floor.

Then the sounds of breaking glass and roaring chainsaw axes were heard from some residential doors. The elite warriors who had followed Kahn into the residential building and were now separated from him pushed open the doors of some houses and walked out. Behind them, all the mercenaries hiding in the houses were killed.

The ten elite warriors returned to the corridor in silence and followed Kahn in silence.

The man who had looked at Kahn with a meaningful look before, regardless of the blood and corpses of mercenaries all over his house, opened the door and said thank you to Kahn and his fighting brothers.

“Are we going to get new ribbons?”

The battle brother who had a good relationship with Kahn broke the silence.

"We don't save people or kill people for the sake of ribbons." Kahn said solemnly, "We do it to implement the will of the Primarch, and we do it to fulfill our duties as tools."

"I know," the warrior said, "but the Primarch has set up a reward system, hasn't he? I think if we complete this street fight and conquer the largest city in the world, the Primarch should give us another ribbon, right?"

"This ribbon was obtained by Mago and I after conquering a world. Do you want a ribbon after conquering a city?" Kahn looked down at his waist. "What's more, this city has no effective defense at all. We caught them off guard. In this case, it is only natural for a company to conquer a city."

"..." The soldier was silent. "But at least we can prove that we didn't just take advantage of the Eighteenth Company last time." Kahn said.

The group went up to the third floor.

Two soldiers acted at the same time, one threw a smoke bomb and then fired, and the other fired immediately.

The number of mercenaries shot dead in the corridor was equal to the number of explosive bombs fired by the two fighters.

The eleven men, including Kahn, who were attacking the residential building continued to advance, killing the enemies on each floor.

Nothing can stop them, and those flesh and blood creatures only realize that they are dead after they encounter them head-on and are shot.

It took Kahn and his team half an hour from entering the residential building to reaching the top floor.

It was exactly thirty-five minutes when they appeared in front of the guild's special agents who were discussing matters in a large room on the top floor of the residential building.

While the others were killing every enemy in the large room, Kahn walked over to the square table, picked up the document on it and took a look at it.

"These people are going to protect Guild Building No. 13." Kahn walked to the window and looked at the magnificent building located at the red dot on the file map one kilometer away. "Let's go there."

"The enemies over there look stronger, Brother Centurion." A soldier walked up to Kahn.

"Yes, we finally encountered something difficult." Kahn sneered and nodded, "Sergeant brother."

Kahn flipped out of the window, and the silver vines on his arms wrapped around his legs, allowing him to land smoothly and steadily.

The same goes for the ten warriors.

The core members of the 8th Assault Company jumped off the building and rushed all the way to the vicinity of Guild Building No. 13.

On the way, they met some company soldiers who were also clearing buildings, and Kahn told them without exception to leave the Guild Building No. 13 to him.

……

"Amazing fighting ability."

Atop the factory, Corax watched the Space Marines running through the city.

The Marines rushed into the building, killed some people, then climbed out the window and went to the next building to kill some more people.

Occasionally, they would gather together to fight against the enemies who had set up defenses on the streets, but unfortunately this attack came too suddenly, and the guild's regular army was attacked before they could be mobilized into the city. They did not have the manpower and time to set up real defenses.

"If we don't use Space Marines but the regular troops I brought from Nuceria, a city like this..." Angron pondered, "I'm afraid we can only bomb it first and then attack."

"They are your children, are they not?" Corax asked suddenly.

Angron was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Of course, but I didn't give birth to him. They used my gene seed."

"Will I have such a warrior?" Corax asked again.

"Of course," Angron replied immediately. "Mine is the Twelfth Legion, yours is the Nineteenth Legion. When the Emperor in golden armor comes, your Nineteenth Legion will also welcome you, the Primarch, back."

Corax nodded silently.

He was looking forward to it.

"I actually know about the Emperor's existence." Corax looked at Angron. "In my dreams, the Emperor would appear and instruct me on some things and tell me some things, such as the Great Crusade, the Legion, my mission, my responsibility, and even your arrival."

“Then why didn’t you tell me before?” Angron asked.

"Because the Emperor asked me not to tell you those things, but after thinking about it, I felt that there was nothing to hide."

"Oh, okay. He just does strange things. We have a brother named Perturabo, and Perturabo also likes to do strange things. He inherited his character."

After a few words, Angron lowered his head in thought, looking troubled.

Corax felt embarrassed for his previous concealment.

"Brother," Angron suddenly spoke again, "Do you love this world? Chiaval and Lycaeus?"

"No." Corax responded without hesitation, "I only love my fosterers. Lycaeus was a hell before. Everyone was forced to work, beaten by the overseers, and even used for fun by the overseers, who were from Chiavar."

“But you care about people from both worlds,” Angron said.

Corax also nodded without hesitation. He realized that Angron wanted to say something, but he didn't know why Angron hesitated.

Angron reached up and grasped Corax's arm.

Corax didn't resist, he was just confused.

Then he felt all his gloom and other negative emotions quickly disappear, and what replaced them was not emotions but some pictures.

Corax saw the future of Chiaval and Lycaeus.

Chiaval was renamed the Savior Star.

Statues of Corax stand on every corner of Deliverance and Lycaeus.

The guild continued their evil deeds beneath the statue of Corax.

Some transformed people who do not look like humans are plotting in the building how to drain the wealth of the guild and the two worlds.

The descendants of the former resistance fighters active on the Salvation Planet are assassinating the Guild members.

"This is the future," Angron explained, releasing his hand. "My father is a powerful psyker who can reveal the future. He showed me the future of Salvation and Lycaeus. If you do not insist when the Emperor arrives, both worlds will be his, and everything will be the same, except that people will have a branch of the Mechanicus above their heads."

Qin Xia could not reveal the distant future, so what he gave Angron was only the psychic illusion he created.

But that psychic illusion is indeed the original future of the savior star.

Corax thought carefully, wondering if what he saw was real.

He trusted Angron, but he didn't think that when the father in his dream gave everything for a greater cause, everything would return to the way it was, with only an organization called the Mechanicus on the planet of salvation.

"I will avoid it." Corax looked at the city being attacked, "I will do everything in my power to avoid it."

Angron nodded.

The two Primarchs saw a transport plane in the sky flying towards the city.

Corax didn't pay much attention to the transport.

Angron noticed that the transport plane came from the White Knight, and then thought that his adoptive father, who didn't have to participate in the battle, might have come down in a transport plane...
