Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 353 Lion and Wolf

……

When the warp voyage was about to end, the navigators on all the ships had already glimpsed the end of the journey through the third eye on their foreheads.

That was where the First Legion's assembly point was.

Amid the sirens, the crews of each ship began to prepare for the end of the warp voyage.

Count the number of people, investigate supernatural events that occur during navigation in the subspace, and check whether each part of the ship is damaged...

But these matters, which would take at least a week to complete, had little to do with the fleet's top brass.

The primarchs and high-ranking officers of the two legions went to the planet designated as the assembly point to meet with their allies who would fight alongside them in the next campaign against the aliens.

When the newcomers appeared in the ancient fortress on the Death World and saw the first comers, they discovered that the Dark Angels of the First Legion were not the first to arrive.

Jaghatai and Angron saw that in addition to the brother named Lion El'Jonson, there was also a primarch with golden hair and sharp teeth.

Because the Primarchs knew each other more or less even if they had never met each other, Angron and Jaghatai both recognized the somewhat unfamiliar brother - the Space Wolves Primarch Leman Russ.

In the fortress filled with various equipment to assist in making war plans and observe changes in real time, the two already tall and strong primarchs found two positions far apart in the small remaining free space.

Lion remained silent, Leman Russ had his back to him.

There was no need for Angron to sense the two men's inner thoughts. Even the high-ranking members of the legion they brought with them could tell at a glance that the two did not get along.

"Chagatai." Ryan called his brother by his name when he saw the newcomer. He nodded to Chagatai, then looked at Angron, "Angron."

“So…” Angron spread his hands, “Just calling my name twice counts as a greeting?”

Ryan didn't reply.

But Angron sensed that his brother was actually quite happy.

There are two reasons.

1: Ryan has a good relationship with Chagatai. In the many wars that the First Legion has experienced, Chagatai and the White Scars were used skillfully by Ryan as blitzkrieg troops, and the cooperation between the two was quite smooth.

Second: Although he had little contact with Angron and had only met him once, Angron respected and supported Ryan, so Ryan was very happy. Although Ryan did not show anything on the surface and had a cold and stinky face, he was actually thinking about what good things he should use to exchange for Angron's support for himself instead of Russ in the next relationship.

Angron sensed Ryan, and then began to sense Russ.

Ruth was calm and had no opinion about the arrival of the two brothers, but he had a problem with Ryan.

After realizing that Angron was sensing him, Russ, the primarch known for his cruelty, did not jump up in anger and demand a fight, but silently nodded to Angron and Jaghatai.

Angron nodded in return, then looked down at his adoptive father beside him and pouted helplessly.

Qin Xia remained silent.

In his opinion, there was a reason why Ryan and Ruth had a bad interpersonal relationship, and this reason was very difficult to eradicate, so there was no need to ease the relationship between the two of them.

Anyway, these two are loyalists.

"There was a bloodless battle here before we arrived, right?" Chagatai walked to Ryan's side, looked at Russ and said, "It seems to be a battle between civilized people and barbarians."

Yesugei and Qin Xia, Lord of the Keshig, who came with Chagatai, both looked up at their own Primarch, and felt that his words were adding fuel to the fire.

It is hard to say whether Lion is a civilized person, but the barbarian is definitely reminiscent of Leman Russ. After all, Leman Russ grew up on a snowy planet. That planet is just like the Viking civilization in the pre-space age of Terra, a civilization only at the name level.

In addition, Leman Russ and his legion are very fond of things related to wolves, and his widely known title is simply "Wolf King".

But Angron sensed that this was not the case.

Chagatai had no intention of adding fuel to the fire.

But Rus didn't care at all about what Chagatai said and remained calm.

But Ryan is different.

Angron sensed Ryan's mental activities.

First of all, I felt that what Chagatai said was really enjoyable, and he was worthy of being the most eloquent among his many brothers.

But just as he was about to laugh, he frowned and suddenly remembered his growing up life on his home planet Caliban.

On Caliban, Ryan did not land in a human city and be raised by humans, but actually fell into the jungle of Caliban.

Caliban is a planet with a knight culture. Wild beasts are rampant there. The elegant and mighty knights have to eliminate the beasts and protect civilians. But this has nothing to do with Ryan. Ryan fell into the jungle and survived like a beast for a long time, eating raw meat and drinking blood, until one day he was found by a knight. Then, after the knight's patient communication, he chose to follow the knight out of the jungle.

From then on, I began to learn what civilization is, the etiquette, manners, and culture of the Knights...

That’s what happened to Ryan.

When Ryan thought about this, Chagatai's words did not seem so right. However, he believed "from the bottom of his heart" that he was a civilized person and was 100% sure that Chagatai was not harming him.

After this mental activity, Ryan felt that he had to say something.

"Leman Russ is a barbarian... but he is also our brother. Don't say that."

"Why? Aren't they barbarians? Real civilized people are prepared to make every effort for a war, but barbarians don't care about these things, they only care about whether they are happy or not, just as barbarians fight wars just for their own pleasure."

"Stop talking... Chagatai, stop talking..."

Ryan turned and walked to the tactical table, ready to call on his brothers to discuss strategy.

Angron looked at Russ, sensing the Wolf King's state of mind at the moment. Leman Russ was not only not angered by Chagatai's words, but he could understand why Chagatai said those words, smiled quietly, stood up and walked to the tactical table.

The Primarchs gathered around the tactics table.

The same is true for the Primarchs' right-hand men and important figures in the Legion.

Qin Xia saw Luther.

Luther was the knight who found Ryan in the jungle that year.

Logically speaking, he should also be a Primarch's foster father and guide, but at this moment he was standing with the officers of the Dark Angels Legion, not even as close to the front as the company commanders.

"Bring out the strategy I formulated earlier." Ryan ordered naturally.

No officer of the First Legion responded to the order immediately. Only Luther subconsciously followed Ryan's order according to his habit on Caliban.

After executing the order, Luther stood back among the officers. He then glanced at Angron who had walked to the tactical table with Qin Xia, and then looked at Qin Xia with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Qin Xia and Luther looked into each other's eyes at this time.

Luther pursed his lips and shrugged, then forced a polite smile, and sighed silently with his brows lowered.

it is more than words.

"Luther didn't even have a complete transformation... Luther was old when the Lion returned, just like the Primarch of the Word Bearers, the adoptive father of our brother Lorgar." Seeing that Angron had sensed someone with such a special relationship with the Lion and was looking at Luther, Chagatai took the initiative to repeat this sentence in his mind so that Angron could sense it.

Angron looked at Luther in confusion.

He sensed mixed emotions from the man who had led Ryan out of the jungles of Caliban and into civilization.

There is dissatisfaction with being ignored, as well as complex feelings towards Ryan. In short, it is very complicated.

But Ryan was different. He didn't think about Luther at all. He just gave the order naturally, just as he did after he became a civilized man and replaced Luther as the leader of the Knights.

Didn’t think much…didn’t think much.

Angron and Qin Xia turned their attention to Ryan.

At this moment, Ryan did not have the embarrassment and complicated psychological activities he had just experienced when Chagatai talked about civilized people and barbarians.

The Primarch of the First Legion, the most powerful legion of the Human Empire, the "Dark Angels", had a grim expression, one hand on the hilt of the sword, the other holding the helmet, and giving instructions on the strategic projection that had just been displayed.

Ryan was so serious and cold that it seemed that anyone who dared to say a word at this moment would be hacked to death by him in the next second.

But it was only his cold and serious appearance that gave others this feeling. Angron sensed that Ryan really wanted to hear the opinions of his brothers... Of course, he just wanted to listen.

"This is a war of annihilation. We are going to fight all the way to that damn place called Ran Dan, and then completely exterminate the Ran Dan aliens."

"The First Legion will be the main force of the attack, as always!"

Ryan's tone was sonorous and powerful, with an authority that could not be refused.

When Angron heard that the First Legion would still be the main force of the attack, he sensed that some of the Dark Angels present disagreed.

The Dark Angels suffered heavy casualties in the two previous Randan Wars. Several legions were present this time, and some have not yet arrived... and there is also the prolific legion led by the prolific Primarch Angron... Are the Dark Angels still the main force?
"The First Legion suffered heavy casualties in the previous two wars..." Angron began, wanting to suggest that Ryan choose a method where the elite troops of multiple legions formed the main force.

But before he could finish his words, when he heard that even the Primarch of the 12th Legion, Lion's brother, began to speak for the First Legion, an officer who was dissatisfied with Lion's plan to let the First Legion take the lead stood up and said, "My lion, of the 12th Legion..."

As Angron spoke, Ryan simply glanced at Angron, and then tried to explain why he chose the First Legion to be the main force.

And when his own officer stood up to agree, Ryan's eyes fell on the officer. It was just a look, but it made an Astartes subconsciously take a step back.

Ryan looked away.

Qin Xia, who witnessed the whole process, looked at the current Ryan, and then compared the current Ryan with the Ryan ten thousand years later...there is a world of difference.

At this time, Ryan was still young and strong, aggressive and strong, ambitious and fierce enough.

It was completely different from the white-haired and white-bearded old man who would jokingly ask mortals to form his guards to fight on the dark side of the empire and who would have a deep father-son relationship with his lost heir ten thousand years later.

“You and your good father are here to fight, not to take credit.” Lion turned his head and stared at Angron. “Answer me or not.”

Angron sensed that Ryan was not "protecting his food" nor did he really think that the 12th Legion was out to steal the credit, but he was just unhappy with the opposition of his offspring when he was formulating the strategy before, and he was so angry that he said whatever he wanted.

Jaghatai frowned, and Russ looked at Angron.

In the eyes of the two primarchs present, Angron spoke softly, and his words were mostly in the format and tone of suggestions, not forceful at all.

But Angron, who was facing Ryan at the tactical table, puffed out his chest and glared, "We, the 12th Legion, have sailed from Nuceria for more than half a year to come to this godforsaken place. I want to make a reasonable suggestion to reduce the casualties of your First Legion..."

"You think this is stealing credit?!"

"What makes you think you can vent your anger that has accumulated over this period of time on me with words? Did I show you so much respect before that you think you can boss me around? Just like you said, answer me with a yes or no, Lion El'Jonson."

Hearing this, Ryan glared at Angron.

The two Primarchs stared at each other for a while, and Angron sensed the changes in Lion's heart.

Ryan thought of the respect Angron had shown him before, and also of the treatment the World Eaters had received when they were still war dogs and had supported the First Legion in a battle...

Finally, the Lion King decided to re-strategize.

Thinking of this, Ryan was silent for a while, then turned and left: "We will have a strategic meeting together when Corax arrives."
