Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 204: The Battle to Decapitate the Warlords
"It didn't use that much force in the hand-to-hand combat just now."

"He knows how to hold back and act like a pig. He's no longer just an ordinary greenskin."

Qin Xia thought in his heart.

He found that these greenskins were exceptionally smart, relatively smart compared to the average IQ of the greenskin race.

Whether it is Gusa, that fart spirit, or the warlord in front of him.

The best strategy of winning through close combat has become an impossible luxury, Qin Xia can only choose the middle strategy, which is to win by using psychic power.

Right now, these greenskins seem to prefer close combat. Although it would be ineffective if they don't win through brutal and fierce close combat, they can only settle for the next best thing.

While he was thinking, the warlord swung his sword again.

Qin Xia put up a psychic barrier to block.

The warlord's first and second strikes failed to break through the barrier, but his attack was extremely fierce, and a crack appeared in the barrier after continuous slashes.

When the warlord discovered the crack and tried to chop again with all his strength, a psychic attack came towards him.

The warlord subconsciously raised his arms to block, slid back a few meters on the ground before steadying his body, and glared at Qin Xia with a cruel and bloodthirsty look on his face.

Qin Xia looked at the warlord with his psychic vision.

A green energy surrounded the warlord, which gathered into a storm, and the warlord was in the storm.

The greenskins themselves are a psychic race. Even these greenskins who extremely value close combat can still have psychic effects on them as long as they are large enough.

The effect of the psychic powers on this warlord is to make it bigger, faster, and stronger, while also making it resistant to psychic attacks.

Qin Xia looked around and found that green energy was surrounding him.

The green energy is the "power of thought" of the greenskins, an absolutely idealistic and outrageous supernatural mental power.

If Qin Xia had not played the role of the Green-skinned Butcher, who looked and sounded powerful, he believed that his power armor would not be able to withstand the slashing of the warlord in front of him, and his strength would not be enough to fight with the warlord in front of him at the level of power confrontation.

It is hard to say who will win or lose when a greenskin warlord who has been tempered in war and gradually won the admiration and respect of his peers faces off against a primarch.

Qin Xia observed for a moment. It took a long time in his psychic vision, but in reality it was only a blink of an eye.

When Qin Xia tried to crush the warlord's head with his psychic power, the warlord jumped over and slashed at him with both swords.

Qin Xia raised his giant claw, which was considered a very powerful weapon by the greenskins, to block the blade and the power of the warlord.

Qin Xia took the opportunity to concentrate.

If crushing someone's head is like an ordinary person crushing an egg with one hand, which is relatively not easy but not difficult to do, then crushing the head of the green-skinned warlord in front of him is like crushing an apple with one hand.

This applies not only to pinching the head as a way of using psychic energy, but also to all psychic attacks inflicted on warlords.

In the eyes of the greenskins, it is impossible for an attack to kill a warlord without warning, and this thought will become an omnipresent defensive barrier.

Only more powerful psychic attacks can penetrate the barrier.

Qin Xia once imagined such a battle situation - all the enemies present were psychics, and then the psychics would apply their psychic power to a certain individual to create a powerful individual.

Just like the current situation, the greenskins themselves are psykers, and the warlords are the most powerful individuals they have created.

In this kind of battle situation, there is a way to successfully kill the powerful individuals created by psychic energy, which is to draw on the psychic energy for your own use.

Psychic power has no owner and is a public resource. As long as a psychic is strong enough, he can use it however he wants.

But facing the greenskins right now, this kind of thinking is not appropriate.

Because although the greenskins are also a psychic race, the principles of their use of psychic power are very unique.

Their WAAAGH energy, the basis of the "power of my thoughts", is also a kind of psychic energy, but it does not come from the warp, but is the energy generated spontaneously by the greenskins.

If psykers other than greenskins want to use psykers, they must allow psykers to penetrate into the real universe and then manipulate them. The greenskins' WAAAGH energy does not need to slowly penetrate reality from the subspace and be used. It exists among the greenskins and is difficult for non-greenskin psykers to use.

"What are you capable of? Butcher!"

The warlord pressed forward, hacking at Qin Xia as he pondered.

Qin Xia kept blocking, realizing that all kinds of unfavorable factors were gathered in this battle, so he had no choice but to change his strategy.

The idea of ​​using psychic power to deal with warlords in Zhongce is not limited to psychic power. Other ancient relics and surprising means are the same as psychic power.

After just a little thought, Qin Xia came up with a new plan.

After quickly dodging the warlord's slash and keeping some distance, Qin Xia used psychic teleportation to quickly leave the battlefield.

The warlord watched the butcher disappear in the snow, rubbed his head in confusion, and turned to look at the other greenskins.

The greenskins were equally puzzled.

Just when the beasts were about to think that the green-skinned butcher had escaped, Qin Xia suddenly walked out from the ice and snow again.

Qin Xia was still wearing the same outfit as before, a power armor made of greenskins and a battle axe belonging to a certain general, which looked no different.

Only Qin Xia himself knew that on the chest of his power armor was placed an ancient artifact that could suppress psychic energy.

The creation that Qin Xia had just taken back from others suppressed psychic energy, and the power armor couldn't even function normally, but Qin Xia could still rely on the characteristics of his psychic talent to assist the operation of the power armor.

At least the power armor won't fall apart.

The ancient creations that do not block the way for psychic energy to penetrate into reality but only suppress psychic energy also have an effect on WAAAGH energy.

In Qin Xia's psychic vision, the green storm around the warlord and himself weakened a lot, which meant that the benefits brought by the WAAAGH energy were dissipating.

Using psychic powers at this time can easily kill the warlord in front of you, but there is another way that is equally easy and has many benefits.

"Fight!" Qin Xia raised his battle axe and pointed it at the warlord.

The warlord roared and rushed towards the butcher, just like before.

But the movements of this warlord-level greenskin were much slower and more realistic.

How could a giant beast that is more than five meters tall be as fast as the wind under normal circumstances, and how could it jump and leap as flexibly as an acrobat?
The ancient creation that could suppress psychic energy made everything within its range closer to reality. The greenskins watching the battle felt uncomfortable and retreated further.

They can also watch the battle on the spot. If they are greenskins who specialize in manipulating psychic powers, they may even be suppressed and explode, causing a chain reaction that will kill all the greenskins on the scene.

These greenskins' preference for close combat and aversion to witchcraft made them highly resistant to psychic attacks, but this trait no longer exists.

At least that's the case around Qin Xia.

Qin Xia easily dodged the warlord's attack, and the giant beast rushed a long distance like a bull before stopping.

Even inertia has become its enemy.

Qin Xia dragged the battle axe forward.

The battle axe, which he swung in his hand more easily than a dagger before, now became a burden, but Qin Xia still chose not to throw it away. He just dragged the battle axe and walked towards the warlord with heavy steps.

The warlord looked at Qin Xia with gritted teeth, wondering why he felt so uncomfortable, but his brain, which should not have the ability to think under normal circumstances, made his thinking abnormally slow.

Seeing Qin Xia suddenly pick up the battle axe, the warlord rushed forward and continued to fight amid the cheers of other greenskins.

The battle axe fell, and the double swords came up to meet it.

The battle axe used gravity to cut through the two swords, and the axe blade chopped into the warlord's right shoulder.

Qin Xia raised his hand and pressed his huge claws on the warlord's neck.

Use force with both hands at the same time.

The sound of flesh being torn apart could be heard, and the warlord roared in anger or pain, and finally his head was pulled off when the roar stopped abruptly.

Qin Xia staggered back two steps.

His situation is not as good as it seems.

The ancient creature also suppressed his psychic power. The power armor on his body and the battle axe in his hand became a burden and extremely heavy. At the same time, he used his own psychic properties to offset the suppressing effect of the creature.

The psychic energy emerged and dissipated, maintaining an auxiliary control effect on the power armor before dissipating, similar to the puppet-controlling power exerted on the God-Titan.

This process was not painful, but it made Qin Xia feel as if his spirit was being rapidly consumed.

In any case, this warlord-level greenskin has been beheaded.

The cheers of the surrounding greenskins stopped the moment Qin Xia tore off the warlord's head.

The greenskins looked at the scene in disbelief.

"I have beheaded the warlord!" Qin Xia held his head high and walked towards the greenskins.

The greenskins retreated, looking back every three steps, running farther and farther away.

Just like a group of gang members who lost their leader, they either ran away in fear or realized that they shouldn't be joining in the fun and ran away.

Qin Xia took off his helmet and took out the recording device inside.

After checking and confirming that the recording device had fully recorded his every move, the backup record was sent out.

After doing this, Qin Xia put on his helmet, looked at the warlord's head in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

……

After a while.

Qin Xia sat in a chair and stared at the warlord's head.

After the warlord's death, all the greenskins besieging the fortress retreated. They had to fight each other for a while and elect a new leader before they could continue the attack.

Of course, they would also spread the news of the greenskin butchers beheading the warlords.

However, Qin Xia was not happy after winning a victory. He just stared at the warlord's head and pondered.

Just now he just wanted to relieve the pressure on Angron and the others, so he killed in another direction. He never expected that this warlord would appear.

This happened too suddenly...

"I thought it was so difficult to deal with." Brown came over and stepped on the warlord's head, motioning for Quadrant to take a photo of him.

Quadrant completely ignored Brown and observed the battle records brought back by Qin Xia with the Orina sisters.

Angron was also reading the battle log, learning how to deal with a warlord-level greenskin orc.

"Its combat capability is about the same as the Primarch. At least that's what it looks like," Quadrant analyzed.

Olina looked away and looked at Qin Xia: "Since the ancient creation that suppresses psychic energy has a special effect on this warlord, why don't you just teleport back to get the creation."

"For display." Qin Xia stopped thinking about the warlords. "Everything I have done so far in this war is to show the characteristics of the greenskins and the effective way to deal with them."

"No force in this universe is invincible. Even someone as powerful as the Emperor has his natural enemies."

Qin Xia stood up from his chair, walked to the warlord's head, and stared into his dull eyes.

"There is only one way of fighting that can make you invincible, and that is to use different methods based on the enemy's characteristics, and then combine them with your own characteristics..."

"Humanity has not fought the greenskins many times now. Every lesson we have learned from this battle and every piece of information we have recorded from each battle is valuable."

After saying this, Qin Xia still stared at the warlord's head.

There is nothing good about this head. What Qin Xia really cares about is the thing behind this head.

The sound of gunfire suddenly rang out again, which meant that the greenskins began to attack actively again.

“I thought they would be quiet for a while,” Angron said. “Maybe they would continue their civil war and create a new warlord.”

"There may be more than one warlord." Qin Xia thought about the battle with the warlord just now, "This warlord doesn't look like the kind of warlord who can make a lightsaber."
