Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 27 Caring and Being Cared For
……

The next day.

The gates of the caves that housed the gladiators were opened, and the slaves who had brought food on feast day were now back.

However, today was not a feast day before a big fight, so the slaves only brought some very ordinary food.

For example, the bread and fresh water that Ono gave to Qin Xia and Angron.

Qin Xia paid a little more attention and found that the female slave whose son was a gladiator had also come.

"Distribute the food and fresh water." The female slave was obviously a slave of a very high status. She spoke softly to the slaves she brought with her in a decent manner.

Then each gladiator received food and fresh water.

Qin Xia noticed that the food and fresh water were placed in a square package, one portion for each person.

This means that the food that Ono had given out before belonged to him and was thrown out by him, rather than shared by the gladiators.

"Gentlemen." The slave girl saluted the gladiators and said politely, "The regular gladiatorial schedule for the next few days has been announced."

Just as he finished speaking, a little boy who looked only eleven years old walked into the cave.

The boy didn't dare to look at the gladiators, he was afraid of these executioners.

While avoiding all eyes, the boy came to the gate and prepared to stick the gladiatorial schedule in his hand on it.

When the boy tried his best and could only stick the schedule at a height of about 1.2 meters, Ono came forward to help him stick the schedule at a height that was easier to read for the gladiators.

"Thank you." The boy whispered.

"My brother will always be your age in my memory." Honor squatted down and looked at the boy, "What's your name, buddy?"

"Yochuka," the boy answered.

"Okay Yochuka." Ono motioned the boy to look at the other gladiators, "We are just forced to stay here. We are not bad people, so you don't have to be afraid next time."

The boy turned and looked at the gladiators around him.

Kleist smiled at him.

Qin Xia sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Angron nodded.

When Yochuka's eyes fell on a pair of twin gladiators standing in the middle of the cave, the cold look in the twin gladiators' eyes made Yochuka shudder.

But Yochuka still insisted on looking around, then nodded to Ono: "Yeah."

While the two were talking, a high-ranking slave girl came to Angron with two packages of food.

When Angron looked up at her, the slave girl smiled and handed over two packages. "The person in charge said you should eat and drink enough before going on stage."

After saying this, the slave girl turned to look at her son. It was obvious that there was something she wanted to say, but she was hesitating whether or not to say it.

Angron had his own curiosity, so he spoke first: "Madam, what is your son's name?"

"His name is Yochula, and he is only seventeen years old. He is not a warrior, and he has not received much combat training. He just became a gladiator a month earlier than you and the gentleman next to you."

Hearing the slave girl say her son's name is Yochulla, Angron pointed to the teenage boy named Yochuka and asked: "Are they brothers?"

"Yes." Yochula came to his mother's side and nodded vigorously, "Yes, he is my brother."

But Yochula's mother did not admit it immediately.

After a half-second of silence, a trace of sadness flashed across the slave girl's face, and then she nodded silently: "Yes, sir. But Yochuka is my adopted son, his parents..."

Halfway through her words, Yochula's mother swallowed the rest of her words.

"Ma'am." Kleist came close to Yochula's mother, "When does the postponed carnival start? It's been a month since the girl from Mach City met me. I can't wait to see her again."

Hearing this, the slave girl looked at Crest. She only realized now that this was a lady. After being slightly shocked, the slave girl shook her head and said, "The person in charge said that the carnival day before your battle with the Slaughterer has been completely cancelled. It will be cancelled until the next time you have a large-scale fight."

"What's the reason for the cancellation?" Crest's expression changed instantly. He grabbed the slave girl's arm and pulled her towards him. "If you can't explain it clearly, you have to stay here with me today."

"Let my mother go!" Yochula pushed Kleist away.

Crest smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, kid. I'm just joking. I really don't dare to touch the slave girl who was said to be the maid of the chief of the Tark family."

"Can you please stop pretending to be a man and aggressive just to protect yourself at this time?" Qin Xia said helplessly, "Crest, you don't have to do this. We will all protect you."

Qin Xia's words removed the "mask" on Crest's face and he fell silent.

She thought about it and felt that it was true.

"Sorry, I'm used to this..." Crest lowered his head and said dejectedly, "It's not me who needs a carnival day here, but my good buddies always need one."

The slave girl pulled her son behind her and faced Crest, pretending to be strong: "The person in charge said that this carnival day is cancelled. How can I know the reason? Will he tell me what he is planning instead of letting his personal slave convey the order directly?"

Kleist was speechless.

The slave girl looked at the others and said, "The person in charge's personal slave said that as compensation, in addition to food, there are also two bundles of bandages in the supply bag."

Hearing that there were bandages, the gladiators were all stunned, and then quickly opened the supply packs they had received to check what was inside.

When the gladiators saw two bundles of fluorescent bandages inside, they burst into cheers.

The cheers were louder and more cheerful than those of the spectators watching the fights.

"Two bundles of bandages?" Qin Xia picked up the bandage roll that was flashing with fluorescence and looked at it in confusion. He could find that it contained a certain amount of radioactivity, but he didn't know why the gladiators would cheer for it.

"If I were you, I would hide the bandage roll." Ono walked over and said, "This thing can heal any wound. Even if you were stabbed three times with six holes, as long as it is not fatal, it can still heal it."

Although he thought it was outrageous, Qin Xia didn't think Ono was lying.

In his opinion, this bandage is similar to the anesthetic among the three treasures of Nuceria, which is the proof that the advanced technology of this hellhole of Nuceria is in the hands of the nobles.

Slavery, brutal gladiatorial combat, slums.

A god-like ruler armed with high technology, with technology so advanced that it is astonishing.

Qin Xia suddenly thought of Ultramar.

Nuceria is not very far from the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar in later generations. Compared with Ultramar, which has a strong Roman flavor, Nuceria also has a strong Roman flavor.

It’s just that Nuceria represents the darkest and cruelest side of Rome.

"Yochula." The slave girl pulled her son to a place far away from Angron and gently told him, "The first regular fight this afternoon is for you, Mr. Angron, and Ms. Crest. You will fight the Nusa Twins and the Skinner."

"You must follow behind Mr. Angron. He is also a newcomer, but I think he can protect you, and he will."

The slave girl lowered her voice while saying this, not wanting Angron to hear.

There's nothing shameful about saying this, but it always makes people feel like there's some kind of transaction involved.

But Angron heard it all the same.

Not to mention whispering in the cave, even the words of the spectators sitting in the audience seats in the arena could be vaguely heard by the Primarch.

The emotions this mother felt towards her gladiator son at this time - worry, love, concern...

Compared to the emotions that the gladiators would have, the mother's emotions warmed Angron.

"I will protect him," Angron suddenly said to the slave girl, "if only for the extra piece of bread given to me by those who care for him."

"Thank you." The slave girl was stunned for a moment and then quickly thanked him. She turned around and left with the others. Before leaving, she stuck out her tongue and quickened her pace.
