Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 310 The Ultimate Secret
……

In the meeting hall of the last fortress in Salum, the few members of the Red Order were all present and sat together in the meeting seats.

Redjack and the Crimson Priests sat in the few seats in front of the meeting hall.

There was a time when the entire Salum belonged to the Red Order. There were many people in the order, and the entire Salum was full of underground fortresses given different production missions. Then the Brotherhood of Destruction came.

It can be said that eighty percent of the Red Robe Order has been completely wiped out by the Brotherhood of Destruction.

So the seats in the conference hall were vacant, but now those seats are still crowded with people. This is because Red Jack followed Qin Xia's order and allowed people who were not qualified to attend the meeting to attend.

The military officers of the Red Order huddled together, while the hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered like puppets in the towering and magnificent hall.

Sitting on the few seats directly opposite Redjack and the priests were Qin Xia, Quadrant, and the Orina sisters.

Just a few of them.

Qin Xia didn't even let the gladiators in to attend the meeting.

But everyone in the meeting hall could see the towering knights outside through the windows carved with religious patterns.

The two sides did not discuss anything.

No talk yet.

Because Qin Xia has not announced the start of the meeting.

During this quiet time, Qin Xia and sister Orina communicated psychically.

"My goal is to have all the remaining members of the Red Robe Order leave Sarum and retreat to my warships, but before that I will clean up some people first."

"And by the way, uncover the secrets of Sarum."

"Your mission is the same as usual. Use your psychic talents to help me 'convince' them."

Qin Xia didn't react or make any sound on the surface, but his words echoed in the minds of the Orina sisters.

When the two sisters came down, they knew what they would do, so they were well prepared.

After Qin Xia gave his instructions, he glanced at the quadrant.

Quadrant used a hidden sound-emitting device to transmit the sound to Qin Xia's ears, who was not wearing a helmet.

"As a friend, a subordinate, and one of the representatives of the Mechanicus stationed in the 12th Legion, I do not recommend that the 12th Legion have too much interaction with the organization called the Red Robe Order in this rescue operation of the Think Tank Force. If you want to listen to my further advice, then my suggestion is: we leave now."

"The Red Robe Order is a heretical sect composed of a group of lunatics. Their beliefs have seriously deviated from the core teachings of the Mechanicus."

"Besides, they are not worth being exploited any further."

Quadrant gave advice that he believed to be very pertinent, and in fact it was.

The Red Order...

Qin Xia observed the people in front of him who were waiting for him to announce the start of the meeting.

These people were wearing scarlet robes and were covered with weapons. They were very brutal in the battle and had just had fun killing robots and green-skinned captives.

These actions are not actually important when taken individually, but considering the current environment, it is difficult not to associate them with Khorne.

In fact, Qin Xia also knew that the Red Robe Order had a strong Khorne color.

But some of the people in this Order are still useful and can be used.

This order is also familiar with the empire called the Brotherhood of Destruction near the Maelstrom, as well as the area they named "Goltan". Qin Xia feels that they can help him obtain an ancient creation from the Brotherhood of Destruction that can solve the Legion's urgent needs.

That ancient creation was an industrial ship.

A huge, super-mobile industrial base that can build ships one by one.

At the same time, as the Sarum branch of the Mechanicum, the Red Order also holds a large number of technological relics, some of which may not be contaminated and urgently need to be recovered.

On the way to Salum, Qin Xia had already made the above judgment, so his decision now was to clean up the useless people and take the rest away. Anyway, the Red Robe Order could not stay on Salum, and even the planet of Salum could not be kept.

If the Red Robe Order cannot be reformed, they will join the rebellion in the future and become an effective aid to the traitors.

"We can start the meeting now." Qin Xia said slowly.

The Red Robe Order members on the opposite side did not speak, but waited quietly.

The reason they are silent is because they don't know what to talk about at this time.

"Will they demand autonomy?" Quadrant's voice echoed in Qin Xia's ears.

Qin Xia shook his head: "The Red Robe Order is indeed an organization with serious isolationism, but they will not ask for autonomy or anything like that. They will be very eager to join us and join the Twelve Legions. This will be their consensus."

Quadrant nodded.

"The reason is simple. There aren't many members of the Red Order left. It's impossible for them to defend Sarum after we leave, let alone survive on their own."

“Whether they tend to be isolated or not, objective conditions will prevent them from being isolated.”

While Qin Xia and Quadrant were having a secret communication, Red Jack on the opposite side was also secretly communicating with the Crimson Priests.

Finally, driven by the unanimous voice of the priests, Redjack spoke up: "Will we have the honor of joining the legion that responds to our request for assistance?"

Qin Xia was silent, as if he was thinking.

"Sarum Forge World is indeed barren, but we have many things in our hands. They are the accumulation of our predecessors, and they are also the precious things we snatched back from the aliens and subhumans in this dark and desperate star region."

"If we can join the Legion, we will do our duty faithfully and provide the Legion with all the war materials."

Redjack took the initiative to talk about the benefits of accepting the Red Robe Order. Qin Xia looked around and said, "But as far as I know, you have a serious tendency to isolate yourself, otherwise you wouldn't end up like this... There are also Mechanicus Forge Worlds nearby, but only the Empire and the Twelve Legions can respond to your call for help."

"Under my leadership, the Red Robe Order did tend to isolate itself, but now we have to make changes," Redjack replied. "We need support to gradually repair our forge world and restore the strength of the order. The Legion needs our forging capabilities. We have a lot of assets in our hands, so we can have the best of both worlds."

Red Jack was not afraid to express the idea of ​​"transaction", nor did he want to disguise this matter as the admiration and loyalty of the "rescued" to the "rescuer", but just wanted to return to the essence of the transaction.

But there is no doubt that Redjack will make the Order loyal to the Twelfth Legion and provide it with everything it needs.

Mutual benefit and symbiosis.

As for this rescue... Redjack's plan is to send the Twelve Legion anything they need as a thank you for rescuing the Forge World.

"..." Qin Xia did not rush to respond, but seemed to be thinking.

The silence in the hall lasted for a minute. After a minute, Qin Xia suddenly spoke: "You should prepare to evacuate the Forge World of Salum now and go to my ship. Then we will fight against the sub-human empire of the Brotherhood of Destruction, take back what they have robbed from you, and take away what is worth taking from them."

The discussion echoed in the hall like a flood hitting the floodgates.

"I know that most of the Goltan sector used to be your territory, but now the Brotherhood of Destruction has control over this sector. We did arrive a little late, and we couldn't defend Sarum when there was only one Forge World and you were severely damaged."

"We will destroy Sarum, and then strike at the heart of the Brotherhood."

When Qin Xia said this, the sound of discussion had drowned out his voice.

It was like a flood that broke through the floodgates and began to rage.

The entire hall was filled with discussions, some of which were openly against Qin Xia, some were covert expressions of agreement, and some were simply shouting and exclaiming.

Only Red Jack and the people Qin Xia brought were silent.

It was obvious that the Red Order was divided.

"Quiet." Olena stood up.

"Listen." Olya also stood up.

The sisters' psychic powers were also greatly enhanced near the Maelstrom.

Their voices did not drown out the overwhelming discussions in terms of physical transmission, but everyone present heard the orders that echoed directly in their ears and were affected by the orders of the two sisters Orina.

In an instant, the whole hall became quiet and silent.

People who had previously had different reactions were stunned.

Bound by the sisters' psychic powers that would not last forever, these people could only listen obediently.

"I had some land forces aboard my ships, but I did not send them down because I did not think the Forge World of Sarum was worth the sacrifice of my troops."

"A world riddled with scars by greenskins and subhumans... a world so barren that even the desert seems rich in comparison... the only valuable things in this world called Sarum are the creations stored within it and the secrets you have guarded until now."

Qin Xia said slowly.

"I'll give you a choice. Pack up your things and leave with me, or just wait here to die and wait for those subhumans and greenskins to chop off your heads."

"If you choose to leave, then pack up your things. I will give you a week, and I will leave after a week."

After saying that, Qin Xia stood up.

Sister Olena and Quadrant stood up at the same time.

The significance of the quadrant's existence here is to tell Redjack that the XII Legion is not the only Mechanicus organization that cannot be negotiated with except the Red Order, nor is the entire legion in danger of running out of ammunition and food without the Red Order.

And the Quadrant thought he could add: "If I were you, I would choose to leave, Sage Redjack. At least the Twelve Legions can protect you. Otherwise, you heretics are better off dying at the hands of subhumans and aliens, rather than being exterminated as heretics after the excommunication trial on Mars."

Quadrant turned around and followed Qin Xia.

"We won't leave." Redjack's voice came into Qin Xia's ears.

Qin Xia did not stop.

"They saved our lives!" a voice sounded behind Qin Xia.

Qin Xia still did not stop, but when he heard this voice he knew that the Red Robe Order would fall into division.

These people who once pursued isolationism cannot be a monolithic entity because they are facing a survival crisis.

Qin Xia wanted to take advantage of this time to screen out those who were willing to leave. Those who were unwilling to leave could die in Salum. Anyway, this world could not be left behind, and could not be left to the Brotherhood of Destruction... In order to deal with Salum, the White Knight brought a bomb excavated from Nuceria.

"If we need what is stored in Sarum," Quadrant asked as they walked, "my suggestion is to modify Sarum so that it can travel between stars. The reality structure near the Maelstrom is very fragile. With your psychic power and some of the knowledge I have, I believe we can easily achieve this goal."

"Sarum must be destroyed." Qin Xia said.

The quadrant was confused.

"Do you know what the center of the forged world of Salum is?" Qin Xia asked.

"A classic celestial body problem," Quadrant replied. "According to my knowledge, a celestial body consists of the Earth's crust..."

"No, the center of Salum is not the core of the earth." Qin Xia pointed to the ground. "The center of this ghost planet is a demon named Salum."

Sister Orina remained silent the entire time, and was shocked when she heard what Qin Xia said.

"This is the ultimate secret of the Red Robe Order."

"And the group led by Redjack, their minds are as clear as a mirror."

"We didn't exterminate the Red Order along with Salum because Salum is a special demon. The Red Order is not yet a demon order, and some of them can still be saved... but not just because the Red Order is still valuable."
