Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 228 Psychic War
……

The psyker named Kuros had revealed the future in his previous contact with Perturabo, and even directly told Perturabo which planet the psionic warlord existed on.

It is the third planet orbiting the sun in the galaxy, a planet that looks as beautiful as Terra.

Then Perturabo chose without hesitation to launch an orbital bombardment of the planet.

The horrific orbital bombardment directly destroyed the ecological environment on the planet's surface. When 90% of the wildlife on the entire planet had become extinct, the orbital bombardment had only been going on for two hours.

After the bombing lasted for 4 hours, the surface of the planet had completely turned into purgatory. This originally extremely beautiful planet, a planet similar to Terra, the only thing left that could be called beautiful was the aurora phenomenon created in the planet's atmosphere after the light spear bombing.

After the orbital bombardment was completely over, the IV Legion Space Marines in various strike cruisers were ready.

They were finally able to take action after other Space Marines had already begun attacking other planets in the galaxy.

The Lord of Iron's order to attack has been issued. No matter how difficult the upcoming battle will be, the Space Marines of the Fourth Legion cannot retreat a single step.

But they will not be fighting alone, because the XII Legion, which is best at assault operations, is also ready for battle. After all the Space Marine troops of the two legions have been ordered to be deployed, they will take the airdrop capsule to the surface.

The tail flames of the overwhelming airdrop pods lit up the sky of the entire planet.

If there were any creature standing on the surface and observing the sky at this time, it would feel as if the gods had projected their wrath onto this planet, and the blood-red sky illuminated by the flames was the concrete and intuitive manifestation of the gods' punishment.

"The damn greenskins hollowed out the entire planet."

"Damn greenskins. Nothing is more damnable than greenskins."

Inside the command deck, Perturabo kept muttering.

Angron looked out the porthole and saw that the Space Marine troops that Perturabo had previously sent to other planets had completed their missions.

After the transport planes carrying the Space Marines left other planets, the flashes of explosions that appeared on the surface of one planet after another, and the subsequent collapse of the planets, proved that they had very successfully completed the strategic vision of the Lord of Steel, which was to destroy as many other planets in the galaxy as possible and limit the battlefield to one planet.

According to Angron's idea, there is no need to send the army to land and fight. It is better to use orbital bombing or some kind of extinction weapon to blow up the entire planet.

However, it was not that Perturabo could not think of doing so, but the prophecy told him not to do so.

"I could have blown them all up with a virus bomb."

"If these disgusting aliens don't throw the virus bombs I threw back into the fleet as the psychic predicted, I will blow them up directly."

Perturabo said.

Angron was slightly surprised after hearing this, but he was only surprised for a moment. After all, it was not surprising that something would happen in this war where the emperor might come to personally participate.

"I suddenly want to give it a try." Perturabo suddenly said, "Perhaps they are not as powerful as predicted. Perhaps I should test whether using live ammunition to attack the main planet will be bounced back."

"Don't!" Angron held down Perturabo's hand as he was about to raise it. "Listen, listen."

Perturabo slowly let go.

The Lord of Steel has never believed in mysterious things like prophecies, but this time it was different. The Emperor warned him in a dream that he must listen to any prophecies of Kuros.

In this case, we can only obey orders. However, according to Kuros's prophecy, any live ammunition attack on the planet will be rebounded by the position formed by the psychic boys. With such an unverified premise, this battle will not be easy to fight.

"At least we should find out how strong those greenskins are." Perturabo adjusted the holographic image on the tactical table and began to pay attention to the Tridents.

In Perturabo's strategy, Trident, as the elite among the elite, leads a group of elite warriors who have a special role and a mission that is highly expected.

……

Here are the Tridents.

Dantioch personally led the team, leading the people who had a special mission in the special arrangement of the Father of Genes, and advanced on the surface of the planet.

Although there were less than 200 people in total, this number was sufficient because the team had not aroused the enemy's vigilance until now.

Those greenskins lived underground, and the orbital bombardment that destroyed the entire planet's ecological environment did not cause them much trouble.

As Dantioch was advancing on the surface where magma was flowing, he suddenly had a feeling that the greenskins seemed to be able to foresee what would happen in the war, so they chose to develop and explore underground in advance rather than on the surface.

With this intuition in mind, Dantioch continued on his way.

"Compared to before, this place is like hell now." said Dantioch's Terran friend.

"That's undeniable," Dantioch agreed in a few words.

The Milky Way is extremely large, and there are countless planets in it, but the problem is that not every planet can be colonized and inhabited by humans, and not every planet can be transformed to the point where it can be colonized by humans.

In the galaxy, the majority of worlds are worthless, dead worlds with harsh environments.

A world that can be colonized by humans is extremely precious, especially a planet with an environment similar to Terra, which is even more precious.

However, Dantioch also felt that it was not the Lord of Iron who destroyed the world. This world was already hopeless, since it was almost hollowed out by the greenskins.

"Don't you find it strange?" Lando Egger, who is the best at large-scale engineering in the team, said, "The prophecy said that this planet was almost hollowed out. After scanning, we found that it was true. However, there was no large-scale geological disaster on the surface of this planet. This is as strange as seeing a ghost."

The observant Dantioch also noticed this problem and had already figured out the answer: "Perhaps it is because the enemy has a technology that can affect an entire planet."

"That would be horrible, guys, let's just pray that it doesn't happen."

"What's the use of praying, Brother Lando Egg? The Emperor has already said that there are no gods in the universe!"

When people who hated words like God and prayer once again brought up the Imperial Truth, no one responded because a greenskin appeared right in front of everyone.

There is only one green skin.

The greenskins, who have always had an absolute advantage in numbers, only appeared in one at this time. This situation made the Space Marines feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Dantioch observed the greenskin carefully.

The greenskin who suddenly appeared in front of him was hunched over and did not have the sturdy physique that most greenskins have. It seemed that his physical fitness was not even as good as that of an elderly human.

This made Dantioch feel even more strange.

Moreover, this greenskin did not use any weapons. He came here empty-handed, without even the crude cold weapons commonly seen among the greenskins.

Dantioch took only a second to observe the situation, and then he and the other Space Marines looked for cover on the spot.

Lando Egg was the first to open fire on the greenskins.

Others pulled the trigger at the same moment.

All the Space Marines chose to pull the two-stage trigger to the bottom at the same time, so that the grenade launchers in their hands could fire bullets at the fastest rate to kill the greenskins.

But it was as if something sensed who was the first person to show murderous intent.

Lando Egger felt that he was being targeted by something, and suddenly stopped firing. He then turned around and looked at Dantioch. The muzzle of the grenade launcher in Dantioch's hand had just spit out the first bullet.

The flow of time seemed to be slowed down. Amid the sparks produced by the bomb and the tail flame of the bomb, Dantioch turned his head and his eyes fell on his battle brothers.

"Dan..."

boom--

Lando Agger's head exploded, and several pieces of helmet flew towards Dantioch, making bangs as they collided with his ceramic steel armor.

"Die, you alien bastards!!!"

The Space Marines reacted instantly and another Trident in the team opened fire, sending plasma flying towards the greenskins who looked extremely weak but extremely threatening.

At the moment when Lando Aegis died just now, Dantioch felt that the other party might be a psychic.

A psyker among the greenskins...

But when the plasma and explosive bombs flew over, the psychic among the greenskins didn't use any defensive means and was hit directly, and was beaten into a pulp.

The Space Marines looked at each other in bewilderment, only to fall into a trance after the battle was over.

Some mysteries appear in the heart of every Space Marine.

What was going on with that greenskin just now? Are there many greenskins like him who can crush other people's heads? Are they only a few here and there, or are they almost everywhere on the entire planet?

Yet all questions remain unanswered.

Once it comes to matters involving psychic powers, the Fourth Legion often finds it difficult to come up with effective solutions immediately.

What just happened is also the reason why the Fourth Legion hates psychic power.

He didn't need many years of combat training, and he didn't even have the physique and courage that were common among the greenskins to fight Space Marines right after they were born. But he just looked at Lando Aeger and crushed Lando Aeger's head.

There wasn't even a heroic death that Lando Agger deserved...

"Notice!"

Along with the warrior's reminder, suddenly a large number of greenskins appeared in groups in everyone's sight. They did not come out from somewhere, nor did they take the tunnel, but appeared directly in front of everyone out of thin air.

At the same time, Dantioch felt that something was staring at him, something with extremely bad intentions...

Every Space Marine feels the same way.

Then a voice appeared in Dantioch's ears: "Brothers, let's WAAAGH, okay?!"

From the words used in the voice, Dantioch could tell that it was definitely the greenskin speaking, but the voice of this greenskin could be heard and understood by both Dantioch and his comrades, because the voice echoed in the soul and was not restricted by natural language at all.

Then the greenskins in front of them suddenly went crazy, and just as the voice had called them, they WAAAGHed.

The greenskins completely disregarded their own safety and attacked the humans in front of them unarmed.

Dantioch and his battle-brothers slaughtered the greenskins as if they were killing insects on Nofshendak, but just like the greenskins' meaningless charge without weapons, the human attack was meaningless. No matter how many greenskins died at this time, more would soon appear out of nowhere to join the battle.

But Dantioch was now thankful for one thing, that was that the greenskins who could use psychic powers did not seem to be everywhere.

Just as this thought came to Dantioch's mind, a greenskin suddenly stopped in the middle of the charge, staring at Dantioch with his eyes filled with green energy.

"I'll give you a chance to tell your last words to your fellow shrimps."

Dantioch heard these words.

He subconsciously wanted to look at a battle brother and say his last words, but he suddenly came to his senses.

His iron will told him: if he really turned around to tell his last words, the hateful psychic greenskin would kill him while he was speaking, just like it killed Lando Aegor.

After Dantioch realized this, he suddenly couldn't even hear the greenskin-style accent, and immediately raised his grenade launcher and shot the greenskin who was staring at him.

But then another greenskin stopped and used his psionic power.

One after another, the greenskins seemed like machines that were suddenly connected to the power supply, and they went from being in an ignorant state to exuding a dangerous aura in every move.

Although the Iron Warriors do not have any psionic talents, they are still part of the human race with low psionic potential. They can slightly sense the psionic energies flowing in the air and that these psionic energies are gathering.

Even they can feel it, which means that the spiritual energy has gathered to a certain extent.

Sensing a premonition of danger, Dantioch turned around and shouted at his battle-brothers, but the following explosions drowned out the words that he had shouted out.

Suddenly there were snowflakes in the air.

Dantioch turned his head and looked at the greenskins. One after another, the greenskins who were accumulating psychic power exploded and turned into snowflakes, as if they were made of snowflakes.

"come over!"

Qin Xia trudged out of the wind and snow, with lightning flashing from his five fingers, and shouted to Dantioch and his group.

Dantioch immediately rushed towards Qin Xia with his fighting brothers.

The flames, shocks, electric currents or other forms of attack formed by psychic energy flew over their heads, and the greenskins also began to release psychic energy to fight back.

But in the end, everyone disappeared safely in the snow.

After trudging out of the snow, Dantioch found himself and his battle-brothers on the command deck of a warship.

This is the White Knight.

The panels on the portholes of the White Knight were slowly rising, apparently having just returned to the real universe from the warp.

Qin Xia walked to the communication station and said, "Connect me to the Legion Fleet."

Angron and Perturabo's faces immediately appeared on the comm panel.

After seeing Qin Xia appear, Angron and Perturabo had two extreme reactions.

"I'm back." Qin Xia smiled at Angron, then looked at Perturabo's sour face, "By the way, I also retrieved your tridents."

Perturabo frowned.

I had originally thought of asking Kuros to help find Qin Xia, the super arrogant guy, and do Angron a favor at the same time.

As a result, Kuros would not arrive for another week, and Qin Xia appeared now inexplicably.

Perturabo just felt helpless.
