Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 305 A unique way of survival

……

The heavy cruiser White Knight had already loaded up with supplies for the long voyage, and sailed alone towards Mandeville Point, and after a little preparation, entered the warp.

Considering the special nature of the place they were going to, Qin Xia did not bring other warships.

Humans have always been avoiding the Warp rifts, trying not to colonize, explore, or trade near the Warp rifts... The reason is that the areas near the Warp rifts are very dangerous, and the warships heading to the Maelstrom need more assistance than just helping to create tides in the Warp.

As he could only ensure the safety of the White Knight, Qin Xia chose to take only one warship with him to prevent the legion's few warships from being destroyed near the whirlpool.

The warp navigation phase proceeded as usual.

Qin Xia stood on the command deck, guiding the energy in the subspace to gather and propel the battleship forward.

In the eyes of the Eldar, humans' warp navigation technology itself is extremely barbaric, because humans use warp engines to propel huge warships to rampage in the warp, making the warp a mess.

And if there was an Eldar who was lucky enough to see the warp navigation carried out with Qin Xia's assistance at this time, they would find that this kind of warp navigation was really... even more barbaric.

The spiritual energy gathered into a torrent, and the originally relatively calm subspace was thrown into extreme chaos by this torrent.

Those small subspace creatures were like fish caught in turbulent water, being swept around the warships and drifting involuntarily.

The White Knight was like a ship that had encountered a storm on the originally calm sea. It was caught in the raging waves and sailing under the storm, but this storm was of great benefit to the White Knight and had no harm at all.

"This is the psychic power of the Lord of the White Knights!" The captain clapped his hands and walked into the command deck.

Qin Xia turned around and looked at his captain.

It was still the familiar captain, he might be 1.5 meters or 1.4 meters tall - depending on whether he was wearing height-increasing gear.

The two people behind the captain are rare.

One of them is the younger brother of the captain's wife, a burly man whose body shape conforms to the common perception of a space marine before undergoing any transformation surgery.

The other was the captain's wife, who was a little shorter than his brother and so strong that she seemed like she could beat the captain up when he got curious so that he would never dare to do it again.

"Sir." The captain's wife saluted politely after seeing Qin Xia.

His younger brother was stunned and then quickly saluted.

"I usually help warships or fleets sail in this way. Why are you trying to flatter them today?"

As the captain saluted, Qin Xia walked over to the tactical table and checked the star map.

The captain looked embarrassed: "I just want to ask... about the astronomical anomaly... if we get there... is there anything we need to pay attention to?"

Qin Xia saw the captain's hesitant inquiry, thought for a moment, and then realized that the captain was actually expressing his fear of the whirlpool in a very tactful way.

"Do you know a lot about the Great Whirlpool?" Qin Xia retracted his gaze and asked while looking at the star map.

The captain was stunned for a moment, because he didn't know what the Great Whirlpool was, but after reading the foreword and the following text, he immediately realized that the Lord of the White Knights was talking about that abnormal astronomical phenomenon.

"I don't know much about it." The captain shook his head. "I just heard some things about the whirlpool from my colleagues, such as that warships will be haunted when they approach it."

At the end of his speech, the captain forced a very forced smile and glanced at his wife subconsciously.

His wife rolled her eyes at him and raised her eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with her husband's efforts to squeeze out some nonsense about supernatural events.

"Brother-in-law." The tall and strong adjutant reminded the captain, "The Imperial Truth says that ghosts do not exist in this universe."

"Shut up." The captain shouted coldly.

Qin Xia gave the captain a meaningful look: "You are afraid of supernatural events, right?"

"Huh..." The captain let out a long breath, pursed his lips and glanced around, then continued, "It is true that there is a little bit."

Qin Xia shook his head: "If it's just a supernatural incident, it's nothing. The key is that there are even scarier things over there in the whirlpool. All the rumors you've heard are just part of the scary things there... But don't worry, I'm here, so it won't be a big problem."

The captain breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He wanted to tactfully ask the Lord of the White Knight whether this journey was an adventure with a high probability of danger. As long as the Lord of the White Knight was still confident, it would be fine.

Qin Xia also noticed this and was very grateful to the captain for his trust in him.

How much trust does it take for a person to feel reassured just by getting a verbal promise from another person?

But to be honest, Qin Xia is not 100% sure. Even if there is a one percent chance of something going wrong, it is still a probability.

But I still have to do things next, so I don’t want to scare people.

"Go do what you should do." Qin Xia's eyes moved from the star map to the captain's wife. "Do you and your husband have something to say?"

"Yes, sir. I have arranged accommodation for the Primarch's guards. There will be people to take care of their daily lives. If you have any needs, there will be people to respond. You can rest assured."

"okay, thank you."

……

After leaving the command deck, Qin Xia walked on the way to the library.

This is the state of subspace navigation. The armored covering blocks any way for the crew to peek into the outside world. Most of the crew members also stay in their rooms, waiting for the subspace navigation phase to end.

This is different from the later voyage that Qin Xia remembers.

During the subspace navigation phase at that time, people would not stay in a room or a gathering place casually, but would stay in the quietest corner of the battleship.

The Anglican priest would chant, and his attendants would pass before the people carrying incense and various religious paraphernalia.

At that time, subspace navigation was dangerous. Qin Xia liked the feeling of "the storm is coming but it hasn't come" in the 30th millennium now, because when he let go of those obsessions and completely integrated into this era, he would have a feeling that everything was thriving and the human race was on a hopeful rise.

At this time, the malice of the gods had not yet been fully revealed to mankind.

"We may have to stay on the White Knight for a long time, because Lao Qin wants to take us to save a world."

"I don't mind because I like the environment of the White Knight."

"Why? Because I'm here?"

"Hehehe... That's right, it's because of a narcissistic bastard like you."

"..."

Qin Xia's superhuman hearing suddenly enabled him to hear a whisper. He subconsciously stood against the wall and looked in the direction of the sound.

Outside the window of the battleship's internal corridor not far away, on the floating bridge in the huge and deep interior space, two people were standing and chatting.

"Kleist and Yochula?" Qin Xia recognized the two people and was very surprised, "Wait..."

Qin Xia was not surprised by Crest's appearance on the ship, because the mortal army also participated in the operation. Three hundred thousand elite troops from Nuceria were led by Crest to the White Knight and then stationed there.

What surprised Qin Xia was that Crest and Yochula had not seen each other for a while, and their relationship had not made any progress since they broke out of the arena. He thought that the relationship between this innocent boy and the tall female gladiator who saved the boy would never get any closer.

"..." Qin Xia said nothing, looked around, made sure there was no one around, and then continued to observe secretly.

The female gladiator, Crest, was much stronger than a normal man in the arena. Angron's blood seemed to have allowed her to maintain her body shape and appearance forever, and now it seems that there has been little change.

Yochula used to be not only shorter than Kleist, but also thin. Now, due to the reconstruction surgery, he has become very tall.

Qin Xia was still observing when he suddenly heard footsteps and immediately left the corner and walked down the road.

After turning a corner, I saw Yochuula's younger brother Yochuka.

Yochuka was squatting under the window looking at his brother, when he suddenly stood up and faced backwards.

Qin Xia saw the two brothers' mother walking towards them aggressively.

"What kind of mischief are you planning to do this time when your brother and Crest's relationship is progressing?"

"snort?!"

The brothers' mother walked towards Yochuka with her hands on her waist and stretched out her hand.

Yochuka instinctively bent his body so that his mother could pinch his ears... He was like this when he was a child. After playing a prank on Angron, his mother would pinch his ears. But if he was obedient and let his mother pinch his ears, it would not hurt so much.

Even though he has now become a 2.4-meter-tall Space Marine, Yochuka has not forgotten this "little trick to take a beating".

"No! I just wanted to take a look! I was wrong!" Yochuka cried softly, and was pulled away from the window by her mother by the ear.

The mother and son ran into Qin Xia who was standing at the intersection.

Yochuka's mother gave an awkward but polite smile, just as she always did when she was caught by Qin Xia or Angron when she was scolding her son.

Yochuka lowered his head and did not ask Qin Xia for help.

Because Angron would help Yochuka out of trouble, but Qin Xia would not, and would instead scold him together.

"It's not a good thing to squat in the corner and peek when others are busy with their work." Qin Xia scolded seriously.

Yochuka tried to explain again.

Qin Xia turned to the brothers' mother and said, "Leave Yochuka to me. I will watch him and will never let him make fun of Yochula and Kleist."

"That's great!" Yochuka's mother immediately turned her son's ear over.

Qin Xia grabbed Yochuka's ear and took him to the library.

After entering the library, Yochuka found that all the think tanks were gathered here.

Including those who had just been transformed, there were a total of twenty-eight people... The success rate of transformation surgery, especially for psychics, was not 100%.

"Use my psychic power to observe the situation at the target location." Qin Xia ordered.

The think tanks immediately began to call upon the psychic power released by Qin Xia after he finished speaking.

When entering the library, Qin Xia let go of the hand that was pulling Yochuka's ear, and Yochuka wandered around the library, looking around.

"Will it not disturb them if I visit the library?" Yochuka asked carefully.

Qin Xia shook his head.

Yochuka continued to look around, and finally came to a portrait with the word "calm" written on it.

"Who is the person in this painting?" Yochuka asked curiously.

"Caesar," Qin Xia said, "a man who had died in the cave of the Colosseum before you came. He blew his head off because of improper use of psychic energy. I used him to warn the think tanks that they must remain calm in any situation."

After hearing this, Yochuka suddenly remembered that the name Caesar had appeared many times in his memory.

"Well..." Yochuka looked at the portrait, "Every time I heard this name since I was a child, I always felt that he had lived to this day in a unique way."

"Keep him in mind and use him as a warning to yourself." Qin Xia said seriously, "Because you also have psychic potential. Maybe by chance you will fully awaken your psychic power and become a think tank in the future. You should also learn from Caesar's example."
