Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 355 Father and Son, Brothers, Master and Disciple, Master and Servant

The only Primarch who came to the hangar deck of the Indomitable Truth to send his offspring to join the main force, Angron, returned in a transport plane.

Qin Xia watched the transport plane leave and then looked around.

The troops sent by other legions to join the main force have almost gathered.

The White Scars selected some elite troops from the one hundred or so companies of the legion to join the main force, but according to the habits of Chagatai and Ryan when they cooperated before, most of them were scouts and rapid assault troops. The former were scouts in the literal sense, and the latter were people who rode motorcycles or drove a flying combat vehicle called a speeder.

Of course, the number of people was not 50,000, and the White Scars were not numerous, so there were only about 30,000 people present at this time. Apparently Ryan later changed the order and asked Chagatai to send only 30,000 people to join the main force.

The Space Wolves had several Greater Companies forming a total of 50,000 people. The so-called Greater Company was similar to the company organization before the World Eaters changed. It was called a Company, but there were more than 10,000 people.

These space warriors became the focus of the sailors watching the excitement around the hangar deck at this time, because they were so special.

The armor was decorated with fur, and each of them had a big beard and braid, and looked very eye-catching. One of them kept burping for some reason.

The elite troops sent by the Raven Guard were led by the man who spoke for Corax at the meeting yesterday, totaling 50,000 people. There was also Fal, the former commander of the 19th Legion who had been "transformed" by Angron. Fal squatted on the ground in silence, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Qin Xia's gaze looked around and finally fell on the Dark Angel.

The man sent by the First Legion was "Dreadwing".

Unlike the military system of all other legions, the Dark Angels' organization equivalent to a chapter or a company is called a wing, and the Dreadwing is the most versatile of them, with fighter planes and tanks.

The number of Terrorwings is less than 50,000, probably because they are filled with people other than Terrorwings.

Qin Xia recalled all the legends he knew about the Terror Wing...Ten thousand years later the Terror Wing would be gone, and now was a good opportunity to see with his own eyes what the Terror Wing, which was eliminated in the future, would look like.

Lion will personally lead the main force composed of the Dreadwing and other elite legions, and assisting him is the Dreadwing messenger Constantine - the First Legion is very special, they have a unique process to select messengers for each wing, instead of directly appointing a leader who will not change for a long time like the Grand Company or Chapter Barracks of other legions.

In addition to the Dreadwing messenger named Constantine, there was also a man named Luther present.

"When will the Primarch arrive?" Constantine asked Luther who was walking towards Dreadwing.

"He won't be here in person because there are some things that need to be taken care of... I'll be here to represent him," Luther replied calmly.

Constantine saluted.

Qin Xia, who was observing them, noticed that Luther actually had a very high status in the Legion. Even though Luther was not a completely transformed Space Marine, he was still a brother recognized by Ryan, and Luther himself was also very talented.

There are many things in the First Legion that will be managed by Luther. Luther can handle everything in an orderly manner, especially the logistics management which Ryan is not so good at.

Luther is a genius and a capable person.

It was Luther who found Ryan when he was still a bipedal beast in the jungle of Caliban. At that time, Luther was the leader of a knight order fighting against the monsters on Caliban. He persuaded Ryan, taught Ryan, accompanied Ryan, and assisted Ryan.

Ryan and Luther have a special relationship and a special feeling for each other.

Qin Xia could only use eight words to describe the complicated relationship between Luther and Ryan - father and son, brothers, master and apprentice, and master and servant.

In this relationship of "father and son, brother, master and apprentice, master and servant", who is the father and who is the son, who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother... Qin Xia believes that the two of them belong to "Schrödinger's Ryan and Luther", and are in a superposition state of father and son, brother, master and apprentice, master and servant.

While Qin Xia was observing, Luther immediately walked towards Qin Xia after sensing Qin Xia's gaze.

The handsome but somewhat old man smiled brightly, came to Qin Xia and saluted first, and when Qin Xia returned the salute, he said: "I thought only Kiel would come to lead the elite troops of the 12th Legion, but I didn't expect..."

"The 12th Legion had some conflicts with the 1st Legion in the past, and there were also some conflicts between Kiel and the Lion King, so." Qin Xia replied with a smile.

Luther looked at Qin Xia, recalling the scene when Qin Xia and Angron stood together. He felt quite emotional and envious, but he would not say it directly.

The father, son and brother of the Lion King lowered their voices: "Lian is not an easy guy to get along with... He sent me to deal with the matters between the main forces. I will prevent friction and conflict between the Dreadwing and the soldiers of the Twelve Legions."

Qin Xia nodded.

Luther then greeted Kiel, who was also the commander of the First Regiment, and the two chatted for a while.

As if Gil, who seemed to be born with facial paralysis, was very friendly to Luther, and it was obvious that the two had a good relationship.

After that, Luther left the 12th Legion and went to another legion.

Some people already knew Luther, such as Yesugei who was sent by Chagatai. Some people did not know Luther, but Luther would introduce himself, say things that the other person liked, and lower his posture when facing those rude people of Space Wolves.

Anyone could say goodbye to Luther with a smile after a few words.

Qin Xia looked at Luther in the distance, thinking about this man.

Luther is an important figure. When the Lion kept saying "loyalty does not need reward, loyalty itself is the reward", the civil strife in the First Legion, which was believed to be impossible to rebel, was instigated by Luther, which indirectly led to the First Legion's absence from the Siege of Terra when it returned to Caliban to quell the rebellion.

Luther was not a born bad guy like Erebus, but some things indirectly led him to launch a rebellion.

Qin Xia thought that he should be more careful about such a unique and important person. …

Each legion fleet separated some warships to conduct reconnaissance around the Randan galaxy and search for the not-so-powerful fleet of the Randan aliens.

The remaining ships entered the warp at Mandeville Point one after another as the separated ships left the Assembly Point system.

The warp voyage lasted a week.

Until he jumped out of the subspace again, he encountered the Randan fleet in a galaxy composed of black planets and dim stars.

The First Legion fleet launched the first attack, with the Indomitable Truth at the forefront of the fleet.

Qin Xia, who had been in the Indomitable Truth for a week, stood in the corridor near the living area arranged for the 12th Legion, looking through the porthole at the void war that was about to break out in the outside world.

Ran Dan's alien fleet was fully presented to Qin Xia's eyes.

Those warships were of all sizes, but they had one thing in common, which was their style. Their ships were covered with spikes, like ghost castles in fantasy horror movies attached to the warships.

The Primarchs probably already discussed who would fight in the void war, so when the fleet of the First Legion, led by the Indomitable Truth, attacked the Randan aliens, the fleets of other legions jumped into the warp again at Mandeville Point.

"rest assured."

"If Ryan thinks that the Randan alien fleet is difficult to deal with, then he will definitely leave enough warships in the galaxy to participate in the battle."

Qin Xia, who was observing the Randan fleet, looked back and found Luther coming towards him holding a booklet.

It was not surprising that Luther appeared in the living area of ​​the 12th Legion. Since the day when the main force composed of the elite of each legion moved into the Indomitable Truth, Luther had been running around, holding a pamphlet and asking the leaders of each legion what their requirements were.

If a request is made, such as Qin Xia expressing that the 12th Legion needs training equipment, Luther will record it and his entourage will report it. Luther will not leave until the request is met.

"I don't have any requirements today." Qin Xia turned his head and continued to observe the outside world.

Luther walked over to Qin Xia and observed with him.

The fleet of Randan aliens and the First Legion fleet slowly approached each other, and then opened fire when the longest-range weapons were able to reach each other.

Spears of light pierced through the void, creating ripples on the energy shield of the Randan warship in the distance.

The weapon used by Ran Dan that could emit black beams also fell on the void shield and was easily deflected by the void shield.

The progress of void wars is always slow unless there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides.

While Qin Xia was observing, the Ran Dan Fleet took the initiative to sail towards the First Legion Fleet. The Ran Dan Fleet was bombarded, and its ships exploded, and their warships were "sinking" rapidly.

"Randan's navy is not strong, and many of the alien warships were destroyed by the First Legion in the Second Randan War." Luther explained to Qin Xia.

Qin Xia nodded. He knew that Ran Dan's strength in void combat was the artificial war body that once caused the First Legion to scrap a Queen of Glory-class battleship. If it was a void battle between battleships, it would be difficult for Ran Dan to gain an advantage.

"But this war won't end so easily. When we reach the Randan galaxy and start attacking cities and strongholds..." Luther took a deep breath, his expression solemn, "It will be a battle like a meat grinder. I have personally witnessed how the 50,000 victims of the Second Randan War were sacrificed one after another in the war."

Qin Xia turned to look at Luther. He wanted to tell Ryan's father, son and brothers that he didn't need an explanation, but thank you.

But Luther felt that Qin Xia suddenly looked at him because he was shocked by the "50,000 sacrifices" he had just mentioned.

Only those who had personally participated in every previous Randan War knew how many men the First Legion had sacrificed.

The most powerful Space Marine Legion in the entire human empire, the Dark Angels, sacrificed 50,000 men while intercepting an invasion by an alien force...

So Luther said in a deep voice: "Those sacrifices have true chivalry."

"Is Ryan a knight in your eyes?" Qin Xia turned around and stared out the porthole.

"Of course." Luther nodded without hesitation. Then he thought of something and glanced down at his notebook. He added, "It's just that he is not a knight of Caliban, and he doesn't defend everything on Caliban."

Qin Xia wanted to say something after hearing this, but before he could utter a word, he heard a psychic message from Yesugei.

"Come... come... number nine... number nine deck... hangar..."

"First Legion...Orders...Deck Nine...Enemy...Capture alive..."

Yesugei's psychic communication was intermittent, and Qin Xia realized that this man should be fighting against an alien that could use psychic power. So he used his psychic vision to check the situation on the ninth deck of the Indomitable Truth, then immediately raised his hand to open the portal and stepped into the wind and snow.

"What's going on? The enemy boarded the ship?" Luther saw Qin Xia being transferred away, obviously to deal with the enemy, but what can a think tank do in a void war? So he immediately speculated whether the Indomitable Truth was boarded by an alien.

"Yes, he was boarded by a gang, but this was the Lion King's bait. He arranged Yesugei from the Fifth Legion to capture the Sloth alien. Now I'm going to help." Qin Xia stopped and suddenly had an idea, "Together?"

Luther drew out his sword with a serious face and stepped into the snow with Qin Xia.
