Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 311 Demon
……

night.

Qin Xia sat cross-legged on the ground, narrowed his eyes slightly, and entered a state of transcendence from the mundane world.

The soul is no longer bound by the body. It breaks away from the body, from the library of the White Knight, and wanders in the universe.

Finally, Qin Xia's soul floated outside the Salum Forge World.

The soul looked at Sarum.

There is not a single shade of blue or green in this desolate world; it is flat, barren and dead.

The only things that could be called decorations on the world of Salum Foundry were the factories scattered across the surface of the planet, and those factories had obviously been shut down long ago, with the wreckage and ruins left behind after being ravaged by green-skinned orcs and cyborgs of the Brotherhood of Destruction standing alone on the dead plains.

The Red Order did not leave many traces on the surface. Most of their previous activities were beneath the surface, but it was conceivable that there would not be anything good left under the bare brown rock... The greenskins and robots carried out a devastating sweep of the Red Order's multiple territories beneath the surface.

There is only one fortress territory belonging to the Red Robe Order on this planet.

There must be civil unrest breaking out in that territory, Qin Xia thought so.

He felt that after the meeting he had held during the day, the people of Salum would split and take different actions.

Although under the leadership of the leader Redjack, the Red Order has regarded itself as an organization independent of the Mechanicus and pursued isolationism, the more isolated a place is, the more likely it is to have irreconcilable civil strife.

"How much can I take away from this planet?" Qin Xia asked this question while staring at Salum.

This question is not a soliloquy, but there is no response.

Qin Xia's mind moved, and his soul instantly returned to his body. He opened his eyes and looked towards the entrance of the library.

Next to the heavy body of the Quadrant was a slender male cyborg.

After entering the library, Quadrant stood aside, leaving the cyborg right in front of Qin Xia: "This is Priest Roger, he asked me to bring him here no matter what."

The priest named Roger saluted: "My lord. I am from Sarum. I am a member of the Crimson Priests of the Red Robe Order. It is an honor to meet you again."

Qin Xia smiled and nodded, while looking at the transformed person who called himself a priest.

Roger, this priest looks similar to the robots of the Brotherhood of Destruction. The only difference is that this guy thinks of himself as a priest of the Red Order, not a bunch of low-level sub-human scum of the Brotherhood of Destruction.

Qin Xia remembered that he had seen Roger in battle before.

"What's the matter?" Qin Xia's tone sounded calm and leisurely.

"Lord Redjack wants the Order to remain in Sarum." Roger's voice sounded a little more emotional than Quadrant's.

"I know he will make such a decision." Qin Xia nodded, "but it doesn't matter."

When he heard that it was unimportant, Roger suddenly raised his head from his bent position, obviously not understanding.

"I mean, Red Jack is irrelevant. What really matters is how you make your decision." Qin Xia smiled, "Even if you are the only one willing to leave with me, then I will take you with me."

"I'm not the only one." Roger responded, "The Order will be doomed if it stays in Sarum. If the Order still sticks to isolationism as before, we will eventually be annihilated by the next subhuman or alien force... There are many people who share the same idea as me."

Qin Xia nodded silently.

He could imagine how Roger got here.

They didn't come here on a whim, but after the meeting in the daytime, the people of the Red Robe Order really thought about it for a while, and then they had differences of opinion and chose different paths.

After that, people like Roger were pushed forward by all those who had the same idea and came to the ship as liaisons.

Or maybe Roger is not just a person who was pushed out, but also a big shot, another Red Jack... In any case, at least someone made the right choice.

Qin Xia thought about it and made a judgment, then thought that he should test Roger and those represented by Roger.

See if they know the Red Order's greatest secret.

See if they can reveal the secret to you if they know it.

If they can do it, it proves that people like Roger are not a minority in the Red Order. Maybe they may not be a force that is equal to Redjack, but they can also become large-scale.

Qin Xia said, "About the secret of Salum."

"Please follow me." Roger imitated Quadrant's gear salute.

The Mechanicus of the Red Order do not use the Gear Salute, but instead use a weapon-raising ceremony.

Qin Xia nodded, signaled Quadrant to stay on the White Knight, and then opened the portal to the underground fortress of Salum under Roger's guidance.

The wind and snow suddenly started.

Roger stepped into the wind and snow, and in just a moment he arrived inside Sarum from the White Knight.

This amazing psychic power surprised Roger, but after all, he grew up near the big whirlpool and was no longer surprised by all kinds of strange phenomena, so he did not ask any questions.

The portal opens deep within the underground fortress.

Twenty members of the Crimson Priesthood, who were bloated and huge, holding various weapons and filled with a large number of armed transformation parts, stood here.

Qin Xia had paid attention to the Crimson Priests before and found that this team representing the top power had hundreds of people, but there were only twenty of them in front of him.

But he did not feel disappointed or anything, he just looked at the twenty priests silently.

"..."

The priests performed the gear ceremony to Qin Xia in silence.

Qin Xia returned the gift with the Imperial Sky Eagle Gift.

Then, in the characteristic silence of the Mechanicus, twenty priests plus Roger led the way.

The group entered a tunnel leading underground.

Qin Xia looked around as he walked and found that the passage here was about fifty meters high, with the width and height being exactly the same.

It was not the first time that Qin Xia had seen such a huge passage. He was not surprised at all and walked down silently.

After advancing about two kilometers unknowingly, a huge stone gate with a height of 87 meters and a width of 87 meters appeared in Qin Xia's sight.

There were circles of unknown characters carved on the stone gate, which formed a strange circular magic circle-like pattern.

In the center of the pattern there are three characters whose meaning is unknown, and in the grooves of the characters flows blood that never dries up.

Some soldiers and their mechanical servants were deployed outside the gate.

"Priests." The officer-like man saluted on the spot, then said to the priests and Qin Xia who were walking over, "I don't remember that Chief Redjack ordered a ceremony to be held today, so why are you here?" "What qualifications do you have to know the ceremony plan?" An officer in more gorgeous clothing walked out of the small branch next to the gate that led to the lower part, "I just received a message from the sacrifice. Now, open the door."

"Yes, my lord."

The officers commanded the soldiers, and the soldiers commanded the servitors.

Everyone came to the door and waited silently.

A moment later, Qin Xia saw some modified, reptilian-like mechanical servants carrying jars on their backs crawling out from the fork in the road where the more senior officers came from.

There are eighty-seven of these mechanical servants, so there are also eighty-seven jars on them.

Qin Xia didn't understand what these mechanical servants were going to do.

The robot servants came to the door and crouched down.

The soldiers immediately stepped forward, opened the jars one by one, and dragged out some deformed children.

"They are clones." Roger explained to Qin Xia in a low voice, "The genetic samples of these clones come from the first person who discovered this place, Redjack himself."

Qin Xia frowned.

The clones that had become deformed and inferior in the continuous cloning were dragged out. They were terrified and screamed with distorted faces.

The soldiers took out their daggers and killed eighty-seven clones at the same time.

Then, a giant stone gate that was 170 meters high and wide opened to both sides with a roar.

What appeared before Qin Xia was not a horrifying scene, but a deeper tunnel.

Roger gestured for permission.

Qin Xia and the priests entered the tunnel together.

This time there was no need to walk. A red light flashed in the tunnel, and then everyone seemed to be accelerated, flowing at a very fast speed for a while, and then arrived at the final destination.

"We are now near the core of the earth." Roger explained again, "near the greatest secret of Sarum."

Qin Xia looked around.

It was pitch black all around and I couldn't see my fingers.

Just as Qin Xia was about to use his psychic vision to observe this extremely dark place, it seemed as if a miniature sun suddenly appeared in front of Qin Xia and others.

The environment becomes brighter.

Qin Xia looked at the "sun" that suddenly appeared and emitted light. The "sun" moved backwards and then rose up. Qin Xia saw another "sun".

Finally, when the light illuminated the entire darkness, Qin Xia saw that the two "suns" were actually the eyes on the hideous head of a huge creature.

The crimson creature sat in the flowing lava.

The place under Qin Xia's feet was like an observation deck, extending from the rock layer at the center of the earth to the cavity where the giant creature was. There was boiling lava under his feet and above his head.

"Demon." Qin Xia looked at the creature.

A Greater Daemon of Khorne.

Just as Tzeentch's Great Daemon has an official name called "The Lord of Change", Khorne's Great Daemon has an official name called "The Bloodthirster".

This bloodthirsty demon is huge beyond imagination. It sits in the lava, staring at all the creatures who come to the center of the earth to witness the greatest secret of the Red Order of the Forge World of Salum.

Qin Xia knew that the name of this mad demon was "Sarum".

"call……"

The bloodthirsty demon breathed heavily, and hot gas and heat waves gushed out from the nose-like structure on its head.

The psychic devices on the Crimson Priests took effect, preventing their bodies from boiling like the surrounding lava.

Qin Xia used his psychic power to resist the heat wave and stared at Salum.

Salum also looked at Qin Xia.

This Khorne Demon was different from the impressions of everyone who had seen it. It did not start killing without saying a word, or let out a deafening roar at Qin Xia, the creature that disturbed its peace.

On the contrary, Sarum was very calm.

"Qin Xia?"

"Why are you here?"

The bloodthirsty demon named Salum opened his mouth and spoke a language that humans could understand.

Qin Xia was truly surprised at this moment: "Do you know who I am?"

"I know where you came from." Salum said calmly, "My dear friend and I were assigned to kill you. Now because of the failure of the mission, it has been dragged into the High Heavens to suffer eternal torture from the power of destruction. I did not look for you, so I can enjoy peace alone."

Qin Xia recalled the invasion of the warship he was on when he arrived in the 30th millennium, recalled the bloodthirsty demon, and then realized that Salum was related to the incident.

"Why?" Qin Xia frowned and asked, "Why do you want to destroy me?"

“You are trying to understand the thoughts of the Power of Destruction, you arrogant mortal.” A wave of heat spurted out of Salum’s nostrils again.

Qin Xia savored what Salum said.

The Power of Destruction - just like the Dark Gods, this is an honorific title for the Four Gods or one of the Four Gods.

The High Heaven is another name for the Warp.

"You didn't need to disturb me, but you still showed up at an inopportune time." Salum's voice shook everyone's ears like the roar of artillery fire. "But I should be thankful that at least it wasn't the servants of the Mighty Power who found me, and the Mighty Power..."

Qin Xia raised his hand to interrupt.

"What? You want to make a last statement?" asked Salum.

"I'm sorry... but you have an accent." Qin Xia said, "I heard you say Destruction Da Ling... This reminds me of a person who always accompanies me in my free time."

"..." The bloodthirsty demon remained silent, his nostrils expanded to the sides, and billowing heat waves surged out of them. He did not respond for a long time.
