Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 248 Heavy Armor
……

The White Knight was the only one of all the warships in the system that was close to the planet.

The large cruiser slowly passed through the blockade maintained by other friendly forces and approached the planet that the various energy weapons were targeting.

Before the war, it was the usual routine, with orbital bombardment to clear the landing point.

However, the White Knight does not need to deploy engineering troops to build a landing point with defense and storage and transportation functions. Thanks to the powerful psychic power of the Lord of the White Knight, all participants can be teleported directly to the surface.

However, when Qin Xia, who was in the warship, was about to teleport everyone down, the scene outside the warship attracted his attention.

That was the scene when the battleship was conducting orbital bombardment. The light spears that could destroy a huge war machine with one shot falling on the surface only created a few light spots near the atmosphere of the planet.

Orbital bombardment no longer has any effect on that planet. Psykers can sense that a certain rule on that planet has been permanently distorted by psychic energy, making orbital bombardment ineffective.

"That planet will be transformed into a weapon in the future." Avida said the prophecy he had made long ago. He saw with his own eyes how the planet was transformed into a weapon.

An entire battle planet.

Heavy land-based weapons are everywhere, and the huge fleet poses no threat to it.

But among the countless extensions of the thread of fate, there is one destiny that can save all humans in this new area from being annihilated by the battle planet, and that is the arrival of the Emperor.

No one except the Emperor can reverse the situation.

"Since the Emperor has promised to come, all we have to do is wait for him to destroy this planet." Qin Xia said as he invoked his psychic energy.

Everyone hid in the wind and snow.

This was the first time Avida experienced Qin Xia's teleportation ability.

Since psionics is a kind of mental power, any psionic spell will not only have varying effects, but also visually. For example, the same psionic spell may have completely different effects when released by different psionicists.

Avida had seen a teleportation spell that directly opened a wooden door, and a spell that created a vortex, but this was the first time he saw a teleportation spell that created wind and snow.

This is a novel experience.

Qin Xia was walking in front of everyone, the snow falling on his shoulders. He said nothing and just kept walking.

Arvida walked in the waist-deep snow.

He felt that these people were not really walking, but because the long-distance transmission would not allow everyone to arrive in an instant, the walking process was similar to... loading.

As everyone was trudging through the snow, the soulless ones gradually became separated from everyone - they were actually able to be teleported to the surface by Qin Xia, which seemed like a miracle to Avida.

This separation was not a real separation, but a manifestation of splitting the team into two parts and sending them to different places. That’s what Avida thought.

The wind and snow, which limited everyone's vision to less than ten steps away, became increasingly heavier, and then everyone had a sense of light at the end of the tunnel. The view ahead gradually became clearer, and the heavy snow in the air gradually dissipated.

Finally, when the first person followed Qin Xia and trudged out in the snow, what he saw was the surface.

"The Soulless will reach the base before us!" Qin Xia's voice rang out in the communication channel, "Those greenskins have no way to deal with the Soulless, so they will bypass the Soulless and attack us."

While Qin Xia was speaking, the new recruits of the 12th Legion had already changed into the battle zone marching formation as required during recruit training, that is, keeping a distance from each other to avoid being wiped out by some sudden large-scale attack.

At the same time, teams of different levels are divided according to their performance before training and joining the legion. Those teams with relatively the worst performance are protected in the center and are responsible for carrying equipment and boxes of items.

The teams with the best performance will walk at the back to protect the other teams.

The one walking at the end is the "first-period champion".

Champion, this word is used to describe those who are outstanding in martial arts in the Twelve Legions. Each company has its own champion, such as the Axe Champion Orenster who wanted to kill those who questioned Angron's orders.

The champion among the recruits does not refer to a certain individual, but to a fighting team.

They performed most spectacularly in the Nuceria gladiatorial games and won the championship of the global gladiatorial games.

The first champion means they are the first batch of recruits.

The “first-period champions” walked at the end of everyone else, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings as they moved forward.

They were all wearing Terminator armor, just like the Blood Drinker Guards who flanked the ranks. They had learned to use the armor during training, being the only ones among the Legion's recruits to receive Terminator armor as rookies.

As a symbol of honor, their left shoulder armor is the emblem of the World Eaters Legion, and the right shoulder armor is a trophy with an "I" printed on it, which means that they are the first team of champions after Nuceria adopted the global selection system to select Space Marine recruits.

The members of this team were extremely silent. Their internal radio was silent and no one spoke.

But some signs indicate that they are definitely communicating, and that it is a continuous communication.

Eye contact, gestures, head direction, even increasing or decreasing the frequency of steps when walking... this is how the first-period champions communicated.

Then those who are "ordered" by the squad commander will do their job, either changing their positions or scouting around to see if there are any hidden greenskins.

Qin Xia kept an eye on the first-period champions and also kept an eye on any enemies that might appear around him.

"They are elite and strong, right?"

Brown's voice came over the communication channel.

"Indeed." Qin Xia nodded. "I see the shadow of the City Devourer in them. If we hadn't had such a tacit understanding back then, the uprising war wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

"Yeah." Brown agreed, paused, and suddenly spoke again, "But they made you lose 1.2 billion."

"Huh?!" Qin Xia stopped.

Avida looked at Qin Xia in confusion.

The gladiators were the first to realize that Qin Xia might have to deal with some problems, so they assigned some people to protect Qin Xia to prevent him from being caught off guard in a surprise attack that might happen at any time.

The two brothers Yochula and Yochuka came to the left and right sides of Qinxia.

"1.2 billion... Nu coins?" Qin Xia was extremely stunned.

Although he and Angron had left Nuceria to fight in the void, there were still times when Nuceria currency was needed.

For example, paying salaries to the people in the Association for the Study of Human History, and paying salaries to the Nucerias in the fleet.

The technical support team sent by Nusa also needs to make money to help the Labor Council obtain Nuceria currency to purchase things that are only available on the planet.

"But what does this have to do with the first-period champion?" Qin Xia took a step and continued walking.

"Do you remember when you asked me to help you make money? I found that betting on gladiatorial games was the fastest way to make money," Brown explained. "The first champions were a group of gladiators from remote mountain villages who had little hope of winning. I calculated twenty times and didn't think they could win, so I bet on another gladiator team that had a 90% chance of winning."

"But you know, as the Quadrant said, the potential of living things is unlimited."

"..."

Qin Xia was silent for a few seconds, then spoke in a trembling voice: "You really know how to pick the right time to bring up things. You chose to bring up the right time when I am leading the first-round champion team to fight. You really know how to pick the right time..."

"What should we do with the gap of 1.2 billion? Without that money, the society won't be able to expand in five years, and we will also have no money to purchase intelligence information..." There was a strong sense of apology in Brown's voice, but the whole sentence sounded more like the question of a bystander.

Qin Xia glanced at Brown who was not on the surface, and observed other places with his psychic vision.

"The war taxes paid by Nuceria are quite a lot..." Brown asked.

"What a bad idea! You can't distinguish between public and private!"

"Then maybe we can ask Cromage to lend us some money to fill the hole..."

"I can't bring myself to say that. Back then, it was this money-grubber who borrowed money from us. When did I ever spend a penny from him?!"

Brown was at his wits' end.

Finally, the stone man uttered a weak word: "Why don't you just sell me? Anyway, the stone man trade was quite popular ten thousand years ago. Sell me to someone else as a servant. Then I will serve others humbly while repenting - next time I will invest my money in Chaoyang Industry, and never use it to bet on gladiatorial contests." "Shut up." Qin Xia said unhappily, "I have a way to solve it."

The solution Qin Xia thought of at this time was the captain of the White Knight battleship...

Brown quickly shut up, and when he heard that the matter had been resolved, he immediately dared not talk about it again.

He was just staring at a detection device in the cabin of the battleship that used psychic crystals as energy. This detection device was called a divination device.

The divination instrument shows that fifteen minutes in the near future, Qin Xia and his group will be attacked.

Brown put the detection results on the shared information channel.

The time for leisurely conversation before the battle is over.

Fifteen minutes later, just as the divination device had indicated, the green-skinned orcs appeared.

Brown immediately closely monitored the two groups of troops on the surface.

The Soulless Ones have already entered the tunnel leading to the stronghold, and didn't encounter even a single greenskin.

On Qin Xia's side, the anti-psychic elites of the Soul Hunters were armed with various equipment and protected by all the Space Marines. They also discovered the surging psychic signals and took out their weapons.

But the information Brown saw quickly disappeared.

"What's going on?" Brown looked towards the quadrant where the equipment operation was being tested.

"Unstable," said Quadrant. "This thing isn't particularly reliable yet."

This was also expected, so Quadrant and Brown used other equipment to monitor the surface conditions and determined that this thing called a divination device was not reliable.

The battle on the surface has begun.

Faced with the influx of green-skinned orcs, Qin Xia did not take action, but waited for the most terrifying opponent to appear.

But the "collective consciousness" among the green-skinned orcs did not appear, which was the most likely future of all the futures Avida had seen.

That transcendent being is not stupid. It is not afraid of anything except the anti-psychic power of the soulless.

It was as if they had discovered that Qin Xia, this outrageous psychic, could teleport with the Soulless Ones. So in order to avoid descending upon a certain greenskin and fighting in person, and then being destroyed by the Soulless One suddenly teleported by Qin Xia, the transcendent existence among the greenskins did not show up.

never.

Only endless greenskins poured out from all directions and rushed towards the humans.

Everyone fought with ease.

Avida also participated, using his psychic powers to resist the invasion of the greenskins while observing the think tanks.

The armor on the think tanks is extremely heavy, but their mobility does not seem to be affected by the armor. They can even run and jump.

After seeing with his own eyes a think tank holding a halberd and jumping up to chop a greenskin boss to death, Avida cried out in his heart.

Unlike what Avida expected, the heavy armor worn by the think tanks did not affect their mobility, nor was it limited by energy.

"Spiritual union!" Varis roared.

Avida immediately looked at Varis, thinking that the other party was going to stand together with Tethys and use fusion movements that embodied the spirit of fusion to create a psychic giant.

This is not the case.

The think tanks who were fighting separately tightened their front lines and gathered together as more and more greenskins appeared.

Each think tank puts an arm on the shoulder of the other think tank.

The think tanks closed their eyes and then opened them again.

In his psychic vision, Avida discovered that their eyes were just like those of Qin Xia, the Lord of the White Knights. One was a normal eye, and the other was an eye glowing with psychic light.

Then each one seemed to merge into one.

Qin Xia walked calmly under the protection of the Yochuka brothers, keeping a vigilant eye on his surroundings.

The think tanks moved in different directions. When one think tank used psionic power to focus on clearing the enemies in front of him, if an enemy appeared behind him, other think tanks would immediately project psionic power to help their brothers rescue them, even without even looking at them.

And in the subjective feelings of think tanks.

With one eye they see everything they face, and with the other eye they see everything that all their think tank brothers have experienced.

Everything from everyone comes together to form perfect control of the overall situation.

Everyone feels that they are no longer themselves, but a collective consciousness, and each of them can command any part at the appropriate time.

With the blessing of this strange ability, the think tanks, who were like killing machines relying on the powerful power and combat power brought by their armor to chop melons and vegetables, became even more powerful and turned into psychic killing machines. One of their psychic spells could bring casualties to the enemy equivalent to the total firepower of a squad.

"Beyond your expectations, isn't it?" Avida heard a voice echoing in his head.

Avida subconsciously looked at the person who spoke.

Qin Xia also glanced at Avida.

"What's the principle behind this?" Avida responded in his mind.

At this time, a think tank stood in front of Avida. The weapon on his shoulder gathered energy and then fired a white torrent, evaporating all the greenskins blocking the shooting path.

There are some individuals among the greenskins who can use defensive psychic powers, but their defensive psychic powers cannot intercept the psychic powers of the Librarians, nor can they even intercept the white energy emitted by the grenade launchers in the hands of the Space Marines.

Watching all this, Avida asked all this.

"They are all using my psychic power." Qin Xia said, "This is the characteristic of my psychic talent. It can be used frequently by me and anyone I allow without any risk of psychic power getting out of control, such as exploding heads."

"The armor that I spent two days to design and manufacture is just an empty shell. Inside is a structure similar to a ritual anchor that flows with spiritual energy. The spiritual energy flows in the armor and is used as energy."

"I can make them just by writing and drawing, instead of designing everything from scratch, such as software and hardware..."

"Those weapons like bolters that fire psionic attacks work on the same principle."

"..."

After listening to Qin Xia's explanation, Avida subconsciously looked at one of the think tanks.

The think tank was taking out a crystal and putting it into his chest.

But Avida couldn't see the inside of the armor, and it felt that the armor must have been subjected to some kind of psychic ritual to prevent other psychics from prying.

"So this is the source of your confidence in using psionics crazily while warning other psionics to be wary of psionics and the Warp?" Avida said.

"Yes." Qin Xia's voice continued to echo in Avida's mind. "Although this sounds a bit excessive, but... I can touch those things that ordinary psykers can't, and I can use those psionic spells that ordinary psykers can't use. This is why I will continue to use psykers and study things related to the subspace while warning others."

"I'm not a very courageous person, at least I don't think I am."

"If I didn't have this trait, I would definitely be the most vigilant psyker in our species. I would even try not to use my psykers as much as possible to reduce the chances of my psykers getting out of control and blowing my head off."

"Unless I'm cornered, I'm not willing to take any risks that could result in my death."

Qin Xia did not speak or look at Avida. He easily summoned enough psychic energy to make an ordinary psychic collapse and go crazy, and created a one-way psychic barrier to protect everyone under the firepower of the greenskins.

"..."

Avida remained silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
