Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 335: Great Exploration Operation

"It seems that someone has no interest in managing the Legion."

Qin Xia withdrew his gaze from Koz.

Koz opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the office. His fingers that were digging into the sofa suddenly stopped, as if he was lost in thought.

After thinking for a while, Koz suddenly spoke again: "All the members of the Eighth Legion are serious criminals."

"The same goes for the Twelve Legion."

"Our two legions are not good people at all."

Koz continued to scratch the sofa, expressing his opinions in a cold voice.

"To be honest, in my opinion, there are few people in the Eighth Legion who don't deserve to die. The same goes for my brother's Twelfth Legion."

"Only Fulgrim's Legion, the Emperor's Children, are truly worthy of being called a Legion. They are real warriors, not a group of super criminals who compete to rape women before the transformation surgery and become super criminals who compete to kill after the transformation surgery."

"In a way, the Emperor treats you better than he treats me. At least the legion he gave you has a military noble like Kiel."

Koz said as he suddenly recalled the past.

"Kil... Fulgrim thinks highly of him, and I once carried out a combat mission with Kiel. At that time, several of our legions were drawn from various expeditionary fleets to carry out a secret mission."

"Kil is the Emperor's son in the 12th Legion. He is from a noble military aristocracy and is much better than the other serious criminals in the 12th Legion."

"Angron. If there is any difference between our two legions, the men of the Twelfth Legion were not held in the same cells as the men of the Eighth Legion before they were reformed."

When it comes to the Legion, Curze, who is willing to open his heart to Angron, starts to talk nonstop.

It was like complaining and confiding, telling Angron some things about the legion.

Angron sensed that Curze had many dissatisfactions with the Eighth Legion, but he also felt that the Eighth Legion was quite consistent with his own style of doing things, so he was in a complex and contradictory mentality.

In addition, Curze likes some warriors in the legion very much, but he does not think that the warriors he likes can represent the general situation of the Eighth Legion.

"Is it possible that your legion has recruited too many Nostramos?" Qin Xia said.

"In my opinion, there is no difference between Nostramo recruits and Terran people." Curze shook his head slightly, "I think the vast majority of the Eighth Legion are the same as Nostramo recruits. The former are criminals and are bound by the legion's discipline, while the latter are criminals and are bound by my laws."

Qin Xia looked at Angron.

Angron nodded, indicating that Curze sincerely felt that the Terran and Nostramo warriors of the Eighth Legion were basically the same.

However, Qin Xia knew one thing about the future, that is, the fear-based rule established by Curze on Nostramo collapsed after he left, and the people of Nostramo remained the same after Curze left as they were before Curze came.

Even the villains of Nostramo are more adept at playing tricks. They directly send people from their own families or gangs into the Eighth Legion, which has the effect of slowly corroding the Eighth Legion.

Because of this, when Curze became aware of the changes in his legion, it was already too late.

The Eighth Legion had degenerated into a heinous concentration camp of evil.

When Qin Xia thought about this, Angron "sense" what his adoptive father was thinking.

This perception is not based on Angron's innate ability, nor is it mind-reading. Instead, it is the experience gained through observation during Angron's growth and life, combined with the information he perceives. He can judge what a person is thinking through a series of micro-expressions, or even the length of time that the micro-expressions last.

However, when facing someone like Qin Xia who has no soul projection, it is not possible to directly judge what he is thinking just by using micro-expressions combined with observation experience.

So we also need to combine some of the things Qin Xia once said.

Angron remembered that his adoptive father had used the example of the Eighth Legion to enlighten him, telling him to pay attention to the issue of manpower and prevent the Twelfth Legion from becoming a concentration camp for low-level scum like the Eighth Legion in the future.

And at that time... Angron still remembered that his adoptive father looked thoughtful as he did now when he talked about this matter.

Angron then told his adoptive father about the situation of the Eighth Legion.

"You have been away from Nostramo for a while. You have not cultivated a ruling group of your own, nor do you have a small group that is completely loyal to you and implements your will."

"So... the rule you established on Nostramo will not last long. Now your rule may have been disintegrated, and those who you once dealt with will use the method of throwing sand in your legion to deal with you."

"In addition, you have to realize one thing. In order to make a legion more obedient to the Primarch's management after his return, the legion will often directly recruit new soldiers by changing the recruitment area from a certain area on Terra to the Primarch's home planet. Just think about it, isn't it too easy to mix some scum into your legion under such circumstances?"

Angron said seriously.

And Curze did not question it, nor did he feel that the reign of terror he had established on Nostramo would not collapse so quickly.

He believed Angron's words almost instantly.

Out of psychological inertia.

However, this trust or psychological change that occurred after getting along with Angron was considered by Perturabo to be a kind of corruption.

But there is a fundamental difference between Curze and Perturabo.

"Now that you mention it..." Coz suddenly sat up from the sofa, his eyes wandering, but then he lay back down. "I have done what I could on Nostramo. I even killed the saints and fathers on the planet who opposed my killing. I did everything I could to reduce the crime on Nostramo to zero, and to keep it at zero forever."

Angron sighed helplessly, "Kang Lao Ba. To be honest, it's hard to manage a street in Nukeriya."

"..." Koz didn't say anything after hearing this. He turned over on the sofa with his back facing Angron and Qin Xia.

Angron sensed that Curze was thinking about the Legion, so he did not disturb Curze and let him think slowly.

Qin Xia glanced at Koz and mentioned another important matter: "You continue to do what you planned, and I will be responsible for dealing with the forging engine. The forging engine is not something that can be immediately turned into our tool after it comes into our hands. It is a huge ancient battleship. We have to explore and clean up one area after another, and then send people to manage it." Angron nodded.

"I call it a great exploration operation." Qin Xia thought, "First, I will consolidate the areas that have been explored and make sure that I can use the industrial equipment in those areas to produce warships."

Hearing this, Angron looked at Curze and said, "One of my brothers seems to be very good at this kind of thing. I wonder if he would be willing to help me."

"I can help you with some difficulty." Coze said with his back to the two of them, "I will leave Nukeria one day, when there is a rebellion on a certain planet. Before that, I can do something for you, as a reward for your psychological treatment for me."

Qin Xia stood up: "Then let's go now, Lord of the Eighth Legion."

Koz also stood up immediately, walked ahead and left the office first.

……

Walking in the corridor, Koz and Qin Xia walked side by side.

Koz was thinking about Qin Xia.

After he shared Angron's sentience and experienced a memory, he learned a lot about the people Angron cherished, including the origins of the gladiators and every detail of Angron's time with them.

Those beautiful things spread out from the positive emotions triggered by the perception ability, making Curze seem to have landed in Nuceria with Angron, and even met these people in the arena together, and then fought against the High Knights together.

So Koz not only understood why Angron cared about those people, but like Angron, he even developed some good feelings towards people including Qin Xia because of his understanding and empathy.

And at this time when I was alone with Qin Xia...

Koz recalled the many things he recalled along with Angron after seeing the people in Angron's memory.

This includes what Qin Xia once said: "A heart of a bodhisattva, a method of thunder."

However, Koz believes that this is a depiction and approval of "necessary evil" in the cultural background of Qinxia.

Coates is exactly the kind of person who agrees with necessary evil.

Including his own behavior, motives, arrangements for the Eighth Legion after his return, and some things the Emperor wanted him to do... these were all necessary evils in Curze's understanding.

When some gladiators chose to kill their companions when it was not necessary, in order to please the audience and the arena and get better treatment, Qin Xia used this theme to make the gladiators form a pure group, and those who would destroy this group were cleared out.

The slight affection that Koz developed for the people that Angron cherished, including Qin Xia, because of his memories, as well as some identification with Qin Xia's behavior and ideas, were the main motivations for Koz to be willing to carry out the "Great Exploration Operation" with Qin Xia.

Otherwise he would not have acted like a warrior and done the work of the Twelfth Legion without Angron.

"Next, I will use teleportation to take us to the casting engine." Qin Xia turned his head and looked at Coze, "So be prepared."

Qin Xia's sudden reminder interrupted Koz's thoughts about this person.

Koz's obsidian-black eyes stared at Qin Xia with an unsettling look, and his head shook slightly.

Qin Xia continued to move forward.

Suddenly, snowflakes floated in the air, followed by a strong wind carrying the snowflakes.

It was not the first time that Koz saw a psychic use his psychic powers, but it was the first time he saw psychic powers with special effects, and he thought this teleportation effect was quite beautiful.

Just as Curze felt when he used Angron's perception power to perceive Angron's past.

Qin Xia is a person who likes to show off.

Angron had always felt from the bottom of his heart that his adoptive father was a man who loved to show off his abilities, but unfortunately he did not have much talent in using psychic powers. At most, he could use psychic powers to sense others, but he could not use psychic powers to create some exciting scenes.

Just as Koz continued to think about Qin Xia, Qin Xia, who was walking in the snow, suddenly stopped and looked ahead with a nervous expression.

"What? Is your brain going to explode like Caesar's?" Koz asked a little nervously.

Angron was impressed by a man named Caesar. He believed that Caesar died for all the gladiators. After all, if Caesar had not wanted to lead everyone out and used his ability to pass through walls, his head would not have been blown off.

After empathizing with Angron, Curze also learned of Caesar's existence when Angron recalled the warmth he had with the gladiators and thought of Caesar.

"The Great Exploration Operation..." Qin Xia still looked nervous and spoke in a very low voice.

Curze moved closer to observe, thinking, "Don't get angry, or I'm not going to explain this to Angron."

But then Qin Xia suddenly became excited and shouted loudly: "Start!"

Koz shuddered.

The next second, the two were suddenly teleported to an area of ​​the casting engine.

"What's wrong with you!" Koz was startled and a little annoyed.

Qin Xia smiled and said, "Don't look so gloomy and resentful. If you were to ask me, you should have a friend like me. If you had a Qin Xia Nuostramo Fenxia by your side, you wouldn't be so depressed by negative emotions that you would become schizophrenic."

Koz's expression was still gloomy, but after a moment of silence, he nodded as if possessed by a demon.

"Maybe."
