Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 177 Destiny
Kelbor Hall.

The future Forge-General of Mars of the Mechanicus, the Forge-General of Mars is the theoretical leader of the Mechanicus, but in reality he does not have the power to manage the entire Mechanicus, because the power of the Mechanicus is quite dispersed.

In the more distant future, during the Horus Heresy, Kel Bohar was the leader of the Mechanicus rebels, and through a civil war he gained almost complete control of Mars, a planet very close to Terra in the solar system.

Mars's astonishing productivity, technology, and war machines... all obeyed Ker Bohar's orders, both in the near future and in the later stages of the Horus Heresy.

When Qin Xia learned that the mentor of the quadrant was actually Kyle Bohar, he was shocked beyond words and was speechless for a long time.

"It has been almost two centuries since the Emperor came to Mars and signed a cooperation treaty called the Olympia Accords."

"When I left, my mentor had already made a lot of efforts to fight for the position of Forging General, and he was already on the verge of succeeding him."

"According to my calculations, the probability of the mentor becoming a forging general is 99 percent."

Quadrant added.

Qin Xia thought: One hundred percent.

The probability of Kel Bohar becoming a Forge General is 100%.

Of course, the probability of becoming the leader of the Martian rebellion is also 100%.

It won't make any difference.

"What do you think of your mentor?" Qin Xia asked, "Enemy? Master?"

Quadrant fell into silence and contemplation at this question.

The mechanical body was still clinging to the top of the elevator, motionless, and even the low hum of the servo joints was much quieter, because most of the power was transferred to the thinking center.

Although Quadrant's body had no biological tissue at all, the silence of his body still allowed others to see that he was lost in thought.

After pondering for a while, the quadrant replied: "I hate it, but I cannot regard it as an enemy. It did force me to give up most of the things I value, but it discovered my talent among countless artificially cultivated children and chose me."

"The children on Mars are all artificially bred. They are not clones, but they are mass-produced using artificial means for the sake of efficiency."

"If I had not been chosen by the mentor, I would have been an obscure Om Messiah hymnist, an ordinary errand boy. I would not even have the resources to create this body and retain my humanity as much as possible."

Qin Xia was not surprised by Quadrant's answer.

Kalbohar is Quadrant's mentor and may even be regarded as a father by Quadrant. No matter how cruelly Kalbohar treats Quadrant, Quadrant, who values ​​humanity, cannot completely hate Kalbohar.

The Quadrant's computing device believed that there was no interrogation or other factors in the current conversation situation, so it answered honestly.

Like all conversations in this elevator, it was a confession.

"If you were to become powerful, you should go back to Mars and kill that bastard named Kelbohar."

Brown interjected.

Quadrant lowered his head and fell into deep thought again.

Brown continued, "If natural men were completely mechanized, what would be the difference between them and natural men like iron men who are menial servants? Stone men and iron men were created to prevent natural men from being forced by the environment to transform themselves into machines."

"The human race should rise. Even if it occasionally falls into a trough, it will rise sooner or later."

"But if you transform yourself into a machine, you are really going backwards."

"..."

Ding.

The elevator reaches the first floor.

"Why didn't I feel this elevator was so slow when I was taking it upstairs?"

"Finally we've reached the first floor."

Brown complained and followed Qin Xia and sisters Oulina out of the elevator.

Quadrant came down from the top of the elevator, carried the cylindrical silver vine out of the elevator, then let go of the silver vine and let it float aside.

"The confession is over." Qin Xia looked around. "We need to wait until Theseus and the others find out what other knowledge and relics there are in this world. The battle here is not difficult, so we don't need to participate. It's time to go."

As he spoke, Qin Xia was the first to walk out of the guild building.

The drones that were previously responsible for guarding the entrances and exits are now scattered on the ground.

Eleven Space Marines stood beside the transport plane and in the debris of the drone, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings.

"Centurion Kahn." Qin Xia greeted him and walked past Kahn, boarding the transport plane he had taken.

When Qin Xia opened his psychic vision in the building before, he saw Kahn and the ten warriors who always followed Kahn fighting in the building.

However, Kahn started clearing out all the security personnel in the building from the second floor.

"Everything is going well." Kahn glanced around and fixed his eyes on Qin Xia who had just taken a seat in the cabin. "If everything is going so smoothly in the city, the battles in the fortress and military camp in Kiaval will only go more smoothly."

"Well, the 12th Legion is very strong." Qin Xia just nodded.

Kahn was a little embarrassed, but in the end he had no choice but to nod.

The captain of the 8th Assault Company sought to gain access to the Primarch's guide.

Because anyone with eyes could see how close GeneFather was to his adoptive father and his gladiator brothers and sisters.

Those gladiators were difficult to approach, not because they were xenophobic, but because no useful information could be obtained from them.

But the Primarch’s guide is different. It is likely that more information about the Primarch can be obtained from Qin Xia, information that has never been revealed by the Primarch.

The vast majority of the Space Marines of the XII Legion have always sought to be closer to the Gene-Father - on a spiritual level.

This is why Kahn took the initiative to help guard the transport plane and strike up a conversation.

But looking at Qin Xia's expression... he has absolutely no intention of cooperating, so we can only give up.

A Space Marine walked up to the transport plane and waved his hand upwards, signaling to the pilot that the airspace was safe for takeoff.

Then the transport plane's engine started, and in the gravity anomaly caused by the anti-gravity engine, the cabin door began to close slowly.

"Kahn."

At the moment when the cabin door was about to close, Qin Xia suddenly called Kahn and threw a book out through the gap.

Kahn caught it quickly, his eyes under the helmet looking at the completely closed cabin door with a confused look on his face.

The transport plane takes off.

The warrior accompanying Kahn approached his captain and stared at the book in his hand. "Lord of Nukeria?"

Kahn read the name on the book cover.

……

"So, the Space Marines have more than just a blood relationship with the Primarchs?"

"The Space Marines seem to treat Angron like a devoted son."

In the cabin.

Brown spoke as if to himself, something that was so obvious that no one would respond.

Sisters Qin Xia and Oulina sat opposite each other.

Ouliya looked at Qin Xia first. Qin Xia looked at her and smiled. Then he turned his eyes very slightly to Oulina, indicating to Ouliya that this was not a suitable place to discuss things that could only be discussed in private.

Olina stared at the floor, recalling what Qin Xia had said in the elevator just now, but she and her sister completely shared senses, so of course she sensed Qin Xia's eye movements.

The quadrant has nothing to do with Brown's stand-up comedy or Qin Xia's meaningless eye contact.

The future apprentice of the Martian forging general gently controlled the silver vine, causing it to slowly fall to the cabin floor and gently "spit out" the girl inside.

The anti-gravity technology used in the transport aircraft is extremely advanced. The aircraft body does not shake at all during flight and is as smooth as if it were on the ground.

But Quadrant still used his appendages to stabilize the girl's body to prevent her from waking up from the shaking.

"Her psychic talent is almost non-existent." Qin Xia looked towards the quadrant, "You don't have to be so careful. It's not like she'll suddenly wake up and blow us all up."

"Her biometrics show she's asleep," Quadrant said.

Qin Xia raised his eyebrows and moved his gaze to the girl.

This girl named Ellie has some obvious characteristics, such as her hair color.

Qin Xia felt the name Ellie sounded familiar when he heard it. After observing her carefully in a quiet environment, he suddenly remembered that this girl was the leader of the resistance in Corax's personal biography.

The leader of the resistance that remained after the success of the resistance led by Corax.

As for the reason, Qin Xia had already revealed it to Angron.

The fate of the planet Kiavar was to be renamed Salvation and then handed over to the Mechanicus for management by the Emperor.

After that, everything on Salvation Planet remained almost the same, except for the addition of a Mechanicus at the head of the guild.

Should people who immigrate to the planet from the satellite of the salvation star be discriminated against?

One of Ellie's followers will then attack the Guild and the Mechanicus with a bomb.

"Why is everything still the same on the Savior Planet? Could it be that Corax is just carrying out the resistance in a hypocritical manner? This can't be possible, right?"

Qin Xia recalled that before coming to Kiaval, when Angron revealed the future of the Savior Planet to him, Angron asked him this question.

"No, of course not, he's not hypocritical, he really cares about the oppressed."

"He doesn't have the same empathy as you, but he was raised by miners. When he led the Legion on the Great Crusade, his sister accompanied him and was valued by him, but the lifespan of mortals is always limited."

This is what Qin Xia answered Angron at that time.

"Corax trusted the Emperor too much."

"Corax did not ask the Emperor for the authority over his home system, as you have."

"Besides, Lycaeus is the home planet of Corax. That place must be hundreds of times larger than the planet."

Angron nodded when he got the answer, and then wondered why Corax trusted the Emperor so much.

Qin Xia did not answer. He thought that if Angron had not seen the Nu people kneeling down to him, he would have had a favorable impression of him if the emperor's charisma and perfect image were revealed.

“Perhaps in the eyes of the Emperor, he wants to save everyone, even those who are guilty of heinous crimes.” Angron suddenly said.

Qin Xia thought it was possible.

After all, Angron once said that he sensed the Emperor's thoughts, and that the Emperor wanted to save all of humanity.

Just like the Beastmen, Ogryns, and a whole host of sub-humans who don't look like humans at all but are just similar to humans were not killed by the Emperor and were given legal identities.

The Emperor is willing to protect any race that has anything to do with humans. Those who are guilty of heinous crimes at least have skulls that look more like humans than humans.

This is the memory.

Qin Xia stared at Ellie, his eyes glowing white.

That was a sign that he was using psychic powers.

Ellie's soul appeared in Qin Xia's vision.

It was the soul of a tenacious psychic, but her soul projection was very dim, only slightly brighter than that of an ordinary human.

This means that Ellie's psychic talent is equivalent to nothing.

Such psychics are not even at the Omicron level, which is the weakest level in the psyker classification established by the Empire.

There is no need to judge whether Ellie, the psychic, is stable.

The most this woman can do is see blue flames when passing by a cemetery at night, have lucid dreams when she sleeps and do whatever she wants in her dreams, that's all.

The spiritual light in Qin Xia's eyes gradually faded, and he looked out of the window.

The transport plane has reached low-Earth orbit. At this altitude, Qin Xia can see traces of fighting on the ground with his naked eyes. Those traces have turned into sparse flashes, which means that the battle on the ground is about to end.

The Guild is a strong opponent, indeed for a Primarch who has not taken over a Legion.

But facing a Space Marine Legion, this world will be just like all the conquered worlds in the Great Crusade. They were conquered quietly, and their names appeared in the most inconspicuous line in a pile of documents of the Imperial high-level officials.

Probably because this is the planet next door to where Corax landed, it's listed on its own page.

"The fate of this girl, the fate of the Salvation Planet and the Lycaeus Satellite, the fate of everyone on these two celestial bodies..."

"All will take different trajectories because of the meeting between Angron and Corax."

Qin Xia said to himself.
