Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 327: Being on guard against others
The White Knight stayed in the system for a while to replenish supplies and prepare for a long-distance warp voyage.

Qin Xia stood on the command deck as usual, thinking about what was happening on Pompeii 1.

"The ship can continue sailing." The captain walked up to Qin Xia and said.

"Yes." Qin Xia looked at Pompeii No. 1 in front of him, and then suddenly ordered, "Contact Pompeii No. 1, and then arrange for the think tank to go there to help."

Hearing this, the captain realized that the Lord of the White Knights, who had just met with the Space Marine civilian, was worried about Pompeii I and wanted to help.

The Captain was a little confused, thinking that the Space Marine did not look like someone who would do things in an unsafe manner.

And because of the characteristics of Space Marines, they are extremely loyal to the Legion.

This kind of loyalty is different from the loyalty of ordinary people. It is based on two levels of loyalty, physical and mental, enabled by biotechnology.

The Primarch must have personally met each civilian officer to confirm that they were suitable personnel - this was done when the second batch of recruits arrived.

The captain wanted to express his opinion, but considering that he was not a star zone manager, he immediately passed the order on.

After delivering the order, the captain thought about it and finally said, "If there is an accident in the strike operation that the civilian officer mentioned... it will also be a test for him. After all, they don't have much experience. They just learned things from paper."

"Pompeii 1 is very close to the border of Ultramar, so there shouldn't be any mishaps here," Qin Xia said.

The captain saluted.

Qin Xia looked out the porthole.

There are many void defense facilities in the Pompeii galaxy.

These creations, which use Nuceria technology and the results of reverse engineering of planetary carving platforms, have interstellar navigation capabilities and can be considered a mobile line of defense.

This line of defense is within the galaxy, and it is precisely because of this that Qin Xia chose this place as a resting place for the 11th Legion fleet.

Therefore, the matter on Pompeii I should be resolved quickly, not only because it is close to Ultramar and needs to be used for publicity purposes, but also because of the matter of the 11th Legion.

Whenever Qin Xia thought of the 11th Legion, he would think of the mysterious Primarch No. 11 and the gazes he felt from behind during those few months on the flagship.

"Sir." The officer in charge of communication walked over quickly, saluted, and reported, "While we were replenishing supplies in the galaxy, the strike against saboteurs on Pompeii I had already begun and ended a day ago."

Qin Xia tilted his head slightly: "We have been here for less than a week."

"The strike operation is over, and it has also played a role in eliminating the saboteurs, but the process is different from what we expected." The officer said, "The planetary management reported that when they organized the army to go to the underground facility, all the saboteurs they found were killed. They thought we sent combatants to eliminate the saboteurs first."

Qin Xia frowned and quickly walked to the communication panel to check the communication information displayed on it.

Some pictures were attached to the communication, showing the scenes after the saboteurs were killed.

Judging from the way the saboteurs died, the people who killed them were extremely cruel.

"This is really weird." Qin Xia was getting more and more confused, but since things had come to this point, he could only change the order, "Let them investigate this matter carefully and carefully. If there is any emergency, immediately ask Nu Xing for help."

"Yes!" The officer continued to communicate with Pompeii No. 1.

The order to dispatch the think tank was not withdrawn at this time.

The Chief Think Tank and a six-man combat team were teleported to Pompeii One.

The White Knight then continued to prepare for the warp voyage.

As the battleship headed for Mandeville Point, Qin Xia used his psychic power to take a look at Primarch No. 11.

Primarch No. 11 was staying in the room assigned to him.

The Primarch sat in a chair with an extremely upright posture, his eyes fixed on the empty, smooth metal wall.

The only part of his body that moved was his face.

The expression on that strange white face kept changing - the expression he learned from Qin Xia.

"Pompeii No. 1 said that it would thoroughly investigate the matter." The officer in charge of communications raised his head and reported, "In addition, they also mentioned one more thing."

Qin Xia turned to look at the officer with a look of disgust on his face.

The officer continued, "The monitoring outpost in the galaxy detected that some warships of the 11th Legion had broken away from the formation and were circling the void defense facilities in the galaxy. They also detected abnormal aircraft movements."

"Keep monitoring," Qin Xia ordered, "be prepared for battle...be on guard against others."

The officer conveyed Qin Xia's order to Pompeii One.

After the White Knight jumped into the warp, Qin Xia's order was carried out, and the Astartes civil servants of Pompeii I mobilized the void defense forces in the galaxy with extremely high efficiency.

All defense facilities appeared to be normal and were not even activated.

But in reality, the systems inside the defense facility and the operators within it had begun to lock onto the XI Legion's fleet.

The 11th Legion Fleet is even more shabby than the previous 12th Legion Fleet. If a void war really breaks out, what should be considered is not how long it will take for the Legion Fleet to reach the Pompeii Galaxy, but how long it will take for the 11th Legion Fleet to evacuate from the attack range of the void defense facilities.

……

After a while, Angron stood behind his desk, hands behind his back, in front of the window, looking out at the night view of the Nusindesia region.

In his right hand behind his back was a document that had been transmitted from the White Knight and reported up the chain of command. It briefly described recent events: all those who had previously gone to the Maelstrom to perform special missions had safely embarked on the journey to Nu Star, and one had even brought back an ancient giant ship and one of the Primarch's brothers.

Angron calculated how long it would take them to reach the vicinity of Nu Star, and the closer the day got, the more anxious he became.

At this time, the Primarch looked up at the sky, caught a sudden change in the spectrum, and found that it was the light released by a ship when it jumped out of the warp from Mandeville Point.

Angron became excited, picked up the coat hanging on the seat and put it on, then turned around and wanted to leave the office and go to the starport.

But the moment he turned around, he suddenly saw his adoptive father standing silently behind him.

The Primarch's face first showed an expression of surprise, then confusion.

He sensed that the adoptive father in front of him was not his real body, but a spiritual energy.

As a powerful psyker who uses psionic energy in a special way, Angron can easily sense things made of psionic energy.

"I'm back." Qin Xia said with a smile, "But because the eleventh Primarch came to Nu Star with me, I need to explain some things using psychic power."

"Is Number 11 easy to get along with? Compared to Perturabo." Angron had mixed feelings when he thought of his brother Number 4, so much so that he regarded Perturabo as a benchmark, a classification.

It was like there were two tables of people.

Sitting at one table was Guilliman, and sitting at the other was Perturabo.

Normal brothers like Fulgrim sat at Guilliman's table, while those who were twisted or weird sat at Perturabo's table.

Normally, Qin Xia would have made a joke about the Primarch at this time, but now even the smile that had just appeared on his face disappeared.

Recalling the various strange behaviors of Primarch No. 11, and connecting them to what happened in the Pompeii galaxy before, Qin Xia felt that Primarch No. 11 had bad intentions and might have come to Nu Star with an ulterior motive.

"Suppose all of you Primarchs were having a meal together."

"Those who are easy to get along with will sit at Guilliman's table, and those who are difficult to get along with will sit at Perturabo's table."

Qin Xia gave a serious answer.

"The eleventh Primarch is not allowed to sit at the table. He has to eat by squatting on the doorstep with his bowl in hand."

Angron was originally quite curious about what kind of Primarch No. 11 was, but after hearing what his adoptive father said, he was no longer curious.

Obviously, it's another difficult role.

Angron thought so and spread his hands helplessly: "I suspect that the Emperor deliberately sent the problematic Primarch to me. Including my brother meeting you in the Maelstrom, it was all arranged by him. And I really don't want to be a nanny. When I first met Perturabo, I was tortured by his negative emotions for a long time."

"You have abilities that others don't have, and this is the key." Qin Xia walked towards Angron.

Angron sighed helplessly.

"Do you remember what I told you?" Qin Xia asked, "The greater the ability, the more it will be?"

Angron pretended to be serious and replied solemnly: "The greater the power, the greater the power."

"Really." Qin Xia smiled and patted the Primarch on the back. After joking, he became serious again. "I will bring Primarch No. 11 down to this room in a while, and then you can sense him. No. 11 is not good at dealing with psychic means. You have to dig out everything in his heart."

Speaking of this, Qin Xia suddenly became dazed.

As an extremely powerful psychic, the Emperor can see and know some things without even using the information transmission methods of the real universe.

For example, when Avida was backstabbed by the elf in the Warp, the Emperor saw it and even helped.

Therefore, the Emperor must know the situation of the 11th Primarch, and this journey may indeed be deliberately arranged, and its purpose may be to use the 12th Legion to deal with the 11th Legion.

And disposal requires evidence.

Everyone knows that Angron has the ability to perceive the inner world, and he is equivalent to an evidence printer.

After Qin Xia thought about this, he once again warned Angron: "Perhaps what happened here today will change the fate of an entire legion, so be careful."

"I will be cautious." The Primarch became serious and nodded in assurance.

Immediately the spiritual energy dissipated, and Qin Xia's figure disappeared in the office, while Qin Xia, who was far away in the White Knight approaching Nu Star, opened his eyes.

Seeing that Primarch No. 11 was still observing him, Qin Xia thought of a series of events that had happened during this period.

The killing of Pompeii No. 1 and the unusual movements of the eleventh legion in the Pompeii galaxy.

And in his life on the flagship of the 11th Legion, he always felt that someone was staring at him, and it felt eerie.

Qin Xia became even more certain that Primitive No. 11 had ulterior motives.

"Let's go." Qin Xia stood up, without revealing any emotion corresponding to his inner thoughts.

Number 11 imitated the captain of the White Knight and bowed slightly and nodded to Qin Xia.
